Gretchen-RHOOC Says The Drama Never Stops
Q&A from Examiner.com.
By: Matt Carter
"The Real Housewives of Orange County" is the reality show that started it all for Bravo's landmark series, and the famous ladies are all currently at work getting ready for the next season of the show (which will premiere later this year).
Does some of the drama shown between some of the 'Housewives' start to fade away from the cameras?
NO! All the drama you see on the show continues even more when the cameras aren't around it seems at times. It tends to get played out in the press often as well!
Is there anything you can tell us about season six?
Unfortunately at this time, I am not at liberty to discuss season six yet, but I can assure you everyone will definitely want to tune in!
How has the show helped you promote some of your own products (such as your line of purses and makeup)?
The show has been a great launching board for the 'Gretchen Christine' brand I have been creating and thinking about for many years now! I have been working especially hard these past two years to make this show make sense for me beyond all the silly nonsense that goes on. I sincerely don't enjoy all the drama and the crap that comes along with being on a reality show, but it is what I signed up for. It is not a part of my moral fiber to just tear another woman down for no reason or for my own personal sport. I believe rather in uplifting woman and being there for each other, we are hard enough on ourselves as it is. I don't know why it makes good TV to treat someone else so poorly or make judgments about people or situations you really don't know anything about, but it does. Unfortunately, even though who I truly am in my day to day life is an woman who is full of compassion, happiness and forgiveness, it is hard to uphold that foundation of belief when you get treated the way I did by some of the woman on the show. At some point you decide that enough is enough and you have to fight back....and yes it does make for good drama and TV.
With so many other spin-offs out there, what do you think distinguishes 'Orange County' from the mold?
I think why the 'Housewife' Franchise is different from the mold is because I think we are one of the only reality shows left that there is no scripting involved at all. What you see happening in scenes is really happening, cameras just happen to be there catching it all. This is an ensemble cast and what makes it great is that each one of us are soooo different and there is probably someone out there that can relate to whatever situation each one of us is dealing with in our lives: divorce, kids, relationships, deaths, sickness, friendships, heartache, weddings, renewal of love, etc etc. It's called life!
In between promoting your make-up line, your handbags, and doing a variety of other appearances in addition to the show, what do you do to relax?
Hahaha relax? What is that again? I do have a lot going on right now with my new fashion line the 'Gretchen Christine Collection' and my growing make-up line 'Gretchen Christine Beaute'! However I had a clear goal in mind when I choose to accept doing this show. Contrary to most people's beliefs I didn't do it for the fame, I wanted to be able to make my dreams and desires turn into 'reality' (no pun intended). The fame that comes along with this business is sometimes a blessing and sometimes a curse. I have always been an entrepreneur and have always made my own money, I love running my own business, and I like being my own boss. I have accomplished everything I have set my mind too but not without a lot of hard work, sweat and tears! Yes, I don't get a lot of down time right now, but I am ok with that because I am getting paid to do what I love within the fashion and Beauty industry. I am making woman feel great about themselves, bringing high fashion looks at affordable prices, and bringing quality make-up to the everyday woman at half the cost! I do look forward to a vacation though, time will allow that to happen when it is right, but for now I like going full speed ahead and this train is not stopping!
How supportive have the fans been over the past few years?
My fans are the only reason I continue to do the show and my inspiration behind all that I am doing. I am so grateful to how loyal and great all of them are to me! So many e-mails have come into my personal website www.gretchenchristine.com my twitter www.twitter.com/gretchenrossi and my facebook fan page www.facebook.com/grethenrossi about my style and fashion, my hair, my make-up and my fitness routines. Those have propelled me into this space of fashion and beauty that I have always wanted to be in. I have listened to my fans requests, needs and wants and I hope through my new line- 'GCC' that will encompass all things clothes, accessories and fashion and my cosmetics line -'GCB'- they can look and feel their best!
Finally, is there anything specific going on in your life that you would like to promote?
Yes, If I'm not mistaken I think I just did :) hehe
If anything I would like to promote self-confidence! If by being on this show and in the limelight I can in someway inspire someone to either; pursue their dreams or make things happen they never thought possible; give someone inner strength to stand up to someone who is bullying them or hurting them; possibly deal better with life's hard situations like losing a loved one to cancer, and show that you can still come out ok and be a stronger better person, then exposing my life on TV has been well worth it.
Thanks to Gretchen for talking with me, and stay tuned for more TV news.

Out of all the members of the cast, Gretchen Rossi is certainly one who receives plenty of attention. She originally joined the cast in season four, and had to go through the struggle of losing her fiance Jeff. She also has been able to use the show as a platform to launch both a line of makeup and handbags, which you can find out more about below.
I recently had the chance to engage in an email conversation with Gretchen about her life.
Matt: What interested you in being on a reality show to begin with?
Gretchen: It wasn't necessarily about me having interest as much as it just seemed to keep showing up in my life. I had been asked to be involved in the entertainment business since I was a little girl. My parents kept me far away from that whole world. Then I was asked to do two other reality shows before 'Housewives', when I was approached to do 'RHOC', Jeff (my dear late fiancé') encouraged me to finally take up the offer. Jeff was ultimately the one that convinced me to go for it! He knew that I had desires to be in the fashion and beauty industry and he saw it as an opportunity for me to pursue my entrepreneurial dreams and desires.
You have been through so much on the show since you joined the cast. Has it ever been difficult sharing that much of your personal life on TV?
YES! Beyond difficult. I could have never imagined how hard it would be. Looking back I would of never done the show if I knew the outcome of Jeff and my situation. That was way too difficult to go through on national TV. When Jeff and I agreed to do the show we thought he was going to go into remission any day, unfortunately cancer has a mind of its own and took a turn for the worse. I was now under contract and unfortunately could not just walk away from my responsibilities within my contract. Jeff encouraged me to stay on and make it work because he really wanted me to succeed and pursue my other dreams.
Does some of the drama shown between some of the 'Housewives' start to fade away from the cameras?
NO! All the drama you see on the show continues even more when the cameras aren't around it seems at times. It tends to get played out in the press often as well!

Bethenny And Jason's Spot In Montauk
Post from News Day.
By: Lee Fryd
Feathering the nest for the first baby is serious business. Moms often agonize. But getting a resort rental babyproofed? That was reality star Bethenny Frankel’s task this summer when she returned to take a villa at the Montauk Resort and Yacht Club.
Last year, she was bikini clad, single and newly in love. This year, she’s still bikini clad – and so is baby Bryn, born May 8. “She doesn’t go in the pool,” says the 39-year-old star of her own Bravo series “Bethenny Getting Married?” “But we just like to see her in that little bikini.”
Frankel and husband, Jason Hoppy, have been spending weekends and much of his three-week August paternity leave at the resort. Their villa consists of three units -- two ground level with 20-by-15 foot private patios, and an upstairs -- which can be combined to create a 1,500-square-foot, three-bedroom vacation house.
Frankel’s 566-square-foot suite looks onto the Lake Montauk marina, and has a separate sitting area with a wood-burning fireplace. She uses the 450-square-foot adjoining studio as a nursery, when she brings baby nurse (turned-reality-star) Gina and the upstairs for assistants or guests. All villas share a 30-by-20-foot pool, surrounded by cabanas with day beds.
The average price per unit is $699 on weekends, with a two-day minimum, and $599 for weekdays, says General Manager Lloyd Van Horn. Another special feature: “We’re known for our poster beds, deep soaking tubs and pedestal sinks,” he says.
“Life is definitely different than when Jason and I were making marguaritas, walking the beach and going kayaking,” says Frankel. Now, it’s all about the breast pump and the breast friend. “We’re with the baby the whole time.“ Last year, they went out to lunch regularly. This year, it’s take-out on the benches outside the villa. Date nights are still a priority for the newlyweds, often with baby in tow.
Kitchen? Who needed it? The resort's Gulf Coast Kitchen (by Robbin Haas) has great food. Frankel brought in a hotplate “for tea, oatmeal or rice for us,” and a microwave to sterilize the bottle in baggies. “I set up a little area for the bottles, a makeshift changing station and an area to clean the baby clothes right outside our room," she tells us. "We have a Pack n’ Play for her to sleep in, a play mat and books for us to read her. The stroller is always in the trunk of the car, and we use the car seat to take her into a restaurant.”
Mommy’s “formula” is easy to prepare. All you need are ice cubes for the Skinny Girl Margarita. While breast feeding, Frankel's allowed one a day.
And those long walks on the beach? “Now, we don’t go to the beach longer than five minutes,” says Frankel, “so Bryn doesn’t get too hot, or burn under an umbrella.”
Need we ask about the rewards? “She’s amazing,” says the new mom. “She pulls my hair and giggles. I don’t know if she knows the difference between the beach and the city. As long as she’s with us, she’s happy.” And so are they.

Bethenny Disagrees With Gisele
Post from US magazine.
"Breastfeeding is one of the most rewarding experiences, but it isn't for everyone," she adds.

Move over, Kelly Bensimon: Bethenny Frankel has found a new nemesis in Gisele Bundchen.
Bravo star Frankel was among the legions of moms outraged by Bundchen's recent comments about breast feeding to Harper's Bazaar UK.
After bragging about her post-baby weight loss, the supermodel mom, 30, opined to the mag that "there should be a worldwide law...that mothers should breast-feed their babies for six months."
"It's the most absurd thing I've ever heard," Frankel, 39, retorts of Bundchen in the new Us Weekly.
"Breastfeeding is one of the most rewarding experiences, but it isn't for everyone," she adds.
To be fair, Bundchen backed down a bit on her controversial comments following a public outcry; on August 2, she blogged, "Everyone has their own experience...I'm not here to judge."
Frankel and husband Jason Hoppy welcomed daughter Brynn in May, while Bundchen and husband Tom Brady's son Benjamin was born last December.
RHONJ Reunion Madness
Post from Babble.
Posted by MaraLee
Will Dina Manzo show up? Will Danielle Staub fight Ashley Holmes in fist to hair extension combat? Will Teresa call everyone honey?
Nothings certain as of now, but there are a few things we’ve found out. The filming lasted for 12 hours and took place in Atlantic City. It will be spread out into several episodes just like The Real Housewives of New York reunion.
Dina Manzo has seriously washed her hands of the franchise. Not only did she drop out mid-season, she did not show up for the taping of the reunion to avoid a run-in with evil villain (and her reported reason for ditching the program) Danielle.
Danielle was prepared for a no-show and brought her own fill-in cast member, rumored girlfriend and singing partner Lori Michaels!
Teresa found the entire process exhausting. “The reunion was crazy, exhausting and unbelievable,” she told Life & Style.
Caroline Manzo seems to have felt the same way. “I saw Caroline at Bobby Flay’s that night having dinner with her husband and daughter,” reports a witness. “She looked exhausted. She was sitting at the table next to Ashton Kutcher, and I don’t think she even noticed!”
This season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey has been full of drama, cat fights, hair pulling, run-ins with the cops, and financial woes. The reunion is sure to be crazy! Andy Cohen has said, “It was nuts, absolutely nuts!”

Catherine And The Prince
Post from Star Magazine.
Viewers of The Real Housewives of D.C. were already very familiar with castmate Michaele Salahi, the lightening rod known for allegedly crashing President Obama's first state dinner with her husband last November. But what fans of the Bravo reality show might not know is that four years earlier her costar Catherine Ommanney made headlines in her native England for spending a steamy night with Prince Harry in London.
Cat, who was then separated from her first husband Stephen Davies, is unapologetic about kissing the much younger prince.
“We had a great time and a fun evening,” Catherine later said. “I’ve committed no crime, and nor has he."

But what fans of the Bravo reality show might not know is that four years earlier her costar Catherine Ommanney made headlines in her native England for spending a steamy night with Prince Harry in London. The British beauty, now 39, bar-hopped and cuddled with the third in line to the throne — who was just 21 at the time. They later ended up at a friend's home, where Harry — who was in off-again on-again with girlfriend Chelsy Davy at the time — cooked her a bacon sandwich and they flirted up a storm. Eventually, "Harry lifted me off the floor and kissed me," Cat admitted. "I was genuinely, completely blown away."

The Salahi's Will Appear On "Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel"
Article from The Hill.
by Christina Wilkie
White House party crashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi's annual polo tournament will be featured next week on HBO's Emmy award-winning series "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel."
"Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" is known for having investigated some of the biggest controversies in sports, and the Salahi segment may help answer some unresolved questions about the polo match's finances: Nearly all the 2010 sponsors listed in the program denied having anything to do with the tournament, while a number of the vendors who have provided services for the tournament in the past have complained that they were not paid by the Salahis.
The episode airs Tuesday, Aug. 17 at 10 p.m. and will be broadcast in HD.

White House party crashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi's annual polo tournament will be featured next week on HBO's Emmy award-winning series "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel."
The polo tournament, "America's Cup of Polo," is held in June every year, and it figures prominently into the first episode of the couple's reality show on Bravo, "The Real Housewives of D.C." In that episode, cast member Cat Ommanney complains about the small turn-out at the 2009 polo match, which pitted an Italian team against a U.S. team captained by Tareq Salahi. Another cast member, Lynda Erkeletian, skips the tournament all together because she doesn't like the Salahis.

Danielle-RHONY Getting Her Own Reality Show?
Article from NBC New York.
BY: Brooke Niemeyer
“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Danielle Staub revealed during her strip-club birthday bash last night that she is in the works of creating her own spin-off reality show.
“It will definitely be a lot more of her (gal pal Lori Michaels) and I and definitely my kids,” Staub told Niteside before her 48th birthday bash at high-end strip club Scores in Manhattan. “There will be a lot of questions that will be answered.”
One question Staub did answer was the state of her relationship with Michaels, her producer and rumored girlfriend: “We’re exclusively committable,” she said while holding Michaels hand.
The pair was on stage at Scores to perform Staub’s new single “Real Closer,” which she revealed will have a music video to go with it.
“It’s going to be very sexy and soft,” Staub said. “It will have two women and you can only guess who those two women are going to be.”
A reality show and music video aren’t the only upcoming project for Staub, who is on the outs with her fellow "Housewives" castmates.
“I would love to [collaborate] with 50 Cent,” Staub said. “There is actually some talk going on already from his camp. Pat Deluna and I have something in the work as well.”
While Staub said she knows “there is no place like Jersey,” she did have some advice for the cast of the new “Real Housewives of DC.”
“Consider it a job at the end of the day and don’t let it get to you,” Staub said. “Don’t read the blogs because they’re not going to make you feel good. Only accept positive correspondence on any online interactive sites, such as Twitter and Facebook. All the rest, you’ve got to ignore it and block it because it really will eat you up.”
There was a surprise appearance of her “Real Housewives” nemesis, Kim “G” Grantell, before Staub arrived at Scores. Grantell was escorted from the premises before Staub walked the red carpet.
“She [Grantell] just really needs attention and that’s why she showed up here,” Staubs said. “She was nobody when I met her, she’s nobody tonight, and she will never be anybody.”

Danielle Celebrates At Scores
Post from OK! Magazine.

Real Housewives of New Jersey star, Danielle Staub, took the party to NYC on Tuesday night. She celebrated her 48th birthday at Scores Gentlemen’s Club and rolled out a red carpet for all her special guests. In a slinky black mini-dress, it seemed more like Danielle’s 21st birthday party more than anything else.
Of course the birthday crash was crazy, but as usual, drama had to accompany Danielle. Her ex-friend Kim “G” Granatell apparently crashed the party as a plus one to someone invited by the club’s owner, Noel Ashman.
Danielle wouldn’t allow Kim to be present on the night of her birthday, even though her last birthday party was thrown by Kim. Kim was escorted out quickly. Whatever went down, it was another noteworthy night for the real housewife!

Taking it easy isn't her thing, she has passion, loves a good workout and her one fear is wrinkly old skin (which we are sure she won't have to worry about) -- as for having it all...well, "stay positive" and you got it.
Just a few weeks ago Ramona Singer was able to fit in a chat with us before heading to the gym. The bright-eyed, energetic housewife from Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City quickly taught us that Ramona is more than just a reality tv star - she is an inspiring, multi-tasking, business women with incredible passion and enthusiasm. Even on the phone we suggested she would make a great motivational speaker because that woman could rule the world with her words of wisdom!
Before getting into all the details about her fabulous jewelry line we had to know how she stays so fit and looks so amazing for her age."You can look good without having surgery. Its all about a way of life - your diet is a way of life." Ramona's diet? "Stopped eating starches at night, no red meat - fresh fruit, berries, whole wheat, always 7 grains." You can take a look on Ramona's blog as she give us a peak at the exercises she does. It is hard to believe this super woman only works out for an hour three times a week! As for her skin - she thanks her skin line TrueRenewal "Even my make-up artist for The Real Housewives of New York noticed a great change in my skin and that my pores were smaller this season."
Well besides being a perfect business woman Ramona has another job - a wife and a mom. We asked Ramona, "If there is one thing you want your daughter to learn from you - what would it be?" And her answer was "Make sure you make your own money and be financially independent." As for balancing it all? "Make sure you have private alone time with your man! Have your best friend watch your kids and you watch her kids because men do need to be reined in." As for family time? "Its quality not quantity". And for all those mompreneurs out there "Love what you do, stay positive and stay focused."
And now back to the jewels! You all must watch Ramona present the latest additions to her HSN Jewelry Collection this week on August 11th from 12pm - 2pm EST and look out for our favorites!

Inspired by her love for art deco and estate - her new line of pendants, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings, priced between $125 and $659. “I don’t want a trendy piece of jewelry to hand down to my daughter, Avery, because it will be out of style and she won’t want to wear it,” Singer notes. “Estate jewelry will always be in style, and women will always wear it.” The collection is full of new cuts and vibrant gemstones that take you from day to night in style wherever you go.

Ramona-RHONY Talks About Jewelry And The RHONY
Post from FameWhore.
As an avid follower of The Real Housewives of New York I was delighted to have a chance to speak with the gregarious Ramona Singer about the inspiration behind her jewelry collection for HSN and why she’s arguably the fan favorite of the hit Bravo show.
I know you've been traveling a lot this summer, have these trips provided inspiration for your collection?
From my travels I get inspiration from what I see, whether it's in the stores or just from nature itself, absolutely. I do travel. Anywhere I go I get inspiration. I get inspiration through the water. I try to emulate the color blue from the water for certain stones, like a blue amethyst I have in my collection on these gorgeous drop earrings. The color blue is really spectacular. I have these great [peridot] earrings that are coming on; they're more of a geometric look with an ethnic influence inspired by my recent trip to Africa. The color is very green and it works with everything! I've been wearing them almost every day.
What separates your collection from everything else that's out on the market today?
I'm a shopaholic. I do like to shop, I admit. There's nothing out there in the market at these price points with real diamonds and real gemstones. The whole look is emulated to be a red carpet look…to get that Madison Avenue millionaire look without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. They're art deco, they're estate inspired, and they'll look as good today as they will 20 years from now. You can pass them on to your children.
Do you plan on introducing any men's pieces into the collection?
At this point, just women's for HSN.
Do you have anything on the horizon by way of collaborations with any major department stores?
Right now I kind of have my hands full. I have my True Faith jewelry collection and that's sold on Amazon.com, it's my husband's fourth generation business, which is all travel jewelry, and then I have the HSN collection. I think right now that's enough for me.
What do you think it is about your personality that your fans appreciate most?
...that I tell it like it is. I don't play games. I don't hold back. I'm not a fake; I'm very real and down to earth. I think they appreciate that I work hard and yet I know how to have fun. I'm a great mother, and a great wife.
Do you follow the Real Housewives of New Jersey?
I do watch it, I've just been on vacation. I just know from my Twitter someone said that Danielle mentioned something about a "new beginning." Like, "Oh, is she copying Ramona? Tru Renewal?" That's all I know.
What is it about the NYC Housewives that separate them from the other franchises?
I think people have a fascination with New York because it's New York. People are always drawn to know what people are doing in New York because there's so much energy going on here.
Who can we expect to see return next season to The Real Housewives of New York?
That's the million-dollar question. We'll have to watch what happens...
Is Avery still planning on taking over the family business?
It's an opportunity for her. She's a very talented girl. She's very bright, she's sensitive, and she has a sharp mind. Whatever she wants to do would be fine with me. But I really believe that before someone goes into a family business they should work somewhere else for four years to get some expertise outside of the family business.
What is the significance of "Turtle Time"?
There was a bar / disco or something [in St. John] called "Turtle" something. So I said "it's turtle time!" Because I love to dance and I knew they had music there to dance to.
Do you have any plans to expand your brand in the near future?
I'm always open to things. Right now my concentration is the jewelry and I also have my skin care line. My dream would be to get that into Sephora. I would love to do that.
Can we look forward to an autobiography from you?
It's funny you should say that because I actually did a book proposal but because of the outcome of Jill and LuAnn's books it sort of tainted the Housewives name...because they bombed. I would still love to share my story and be an inspiration to other people.
On her renewal:
I grew up in an abused family. No one has helped me, just me, myself, and I. Everything just renewed for me, renewing new beginnings. I'm in a great place. You can renew yourself at any age. Things can change and you can make things happen.

Jersey Girls Talk Real Housewives
Post from WTAM1100.
By Erin Medley
The second season of Bravo's hit television show "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" is quickly approaching its finale and it has yet to disappoint. With as much drama off camera, including Teresa Giudice's court-ordered bankruptcy auction, as there is on, it's hard not to hear about the show's stars 24/7. Luckily, iheartradio was able to have a Jersey-style sit down with the extension-yanking, rumor-spreading, argument-starting ladies of the Garden State.
Your fans want to know how you all got into such great shape.
Caroline Manzo: Right now we are in the worst shape we've ever been in, we're so tired.
Jacqueline Laurita: Well, fair enough to me, in the show I just gave birth to my son and I gained 55 pounds. So the whole time we were filming I'm like 30 to 15 pounds overweight. It's been a year now trying to get back [into shape].
Teresa Giudice:Yeah, I was pretty thick on the show.
This season we've seen a lot of conflict between nearly everyone and the two Kims. Are there still hard feeling between the cast and Kim D and Kim G?
Jacqueline: I love Kim D. She kind of got a bad rep because something was filmed out of sequence. She originally, hadn't talked to [Danielle Staub] all summer.
Caroline: Kim D. was always very honest and upfront about everything.
Teresa, there was a very memorable moment this season where you and Danielle got into an argument at a country club, where you heatedly said "Don't forget, I'm from Paterson." What were you trying to imply?
Why is America so obsessed with New Jersey?
Jacqueline: And we're real. We put the real in "Real Housewives."
Caroline, there are thousands of young women out there who love your sons Albie and Christopher. Should they try to win you over to get to your boys?
Last year's reunion show was extremely volatile. What can we expect this year?
Caroline: Just unbelievable. You will not believe your eyes. That's all I'm saying.

Jacqueline: Kim G. is a little sneaky, a little two-faced. But she doesn't bother me. She's my neighbor, we're friendly acquaintances. So when I have a problem with her I tell her and get over it fast.
Teresa: I like Kim D. Kim G...[she's]two-faced. But, you know, I've never been friends with her. I met her through the show.
Teresa, there was a very memorable moment this season where you and Danielle got into an argument at a country club, where you heatedly said "Don't forget, I'm from Paterson." What were you trying to imply?
Teresa: Well the reason why I said that is because she said to me...well I trying to egg her on obviously after she pissed me off. That's when I was just being a bitch and Jersey. I was just trying to egg on her, because I was like, "Oh, yeah? Don't call you honey?" And all of a sudden she says, "Oh, yeah. I know where you came from, you came from Paterson." So my response was, "Yeah that's right, I am from Paterson. You got a problem with that?" So that's where that came from.
Why is America so obsessed with New Jersey?
Caroline: I always say it's because we dare to be who we are. Everybody else is so worried about "Am I perfect? do I have a perfect life?" And were like, "You know what? This is it, take it or leave it."
Caroline, there are thousands of young women out there who love your sons Albie and Christopher. Should they try to win you over to get to your boys?
Caroline: I don't pick Albie and Christopher's girls, so you're going to have to work it. They'll say, "Mom, do you like her? Do you not?" And I'll say, "Do you like them?" And if there's something that I see that's really alarming, I'll bring it up.
Last year's reunion show was extremely volatile. What can we expect this year?
Caroline: Just unbelievable. You will not believe your eyes. That's all I'm saying.
Sonja-RHONY Hosted Colors Of Hope

It was an affair to remember with beauty companies such as Dove, Clinique, Sanitas, Essie, Caudalie, Jouer and the Art of Shaving stepping up to the posh plate to donate products for a lavish charity event held at a hip Long Island Hampton's estate recently.
The A-list party was the place to be on a warm summer night with local luminaries and celebrities such as Bravo's Real Housewives of N.Y. star Sonja Morgan , milling around, tasting hors d'oeurvres and sipping specialty cocktails by Makers Mark and Tequila Avión.
Located in Arusha, Tanzania, the Peace House Secondary School (PHS) offers a groundbreaking curriculum, which provides an education that focuses on teaching business entrepreneurial skills. Graduates of PHS will become job creators -- young people who can build a sustainable future for Tanzania.
"All children deserve an education so they can build a better future for themselves and their community," said Rebecca Minkoff. "In Tanzania, AIDS continues to rob the lives of millions of adults, orphaning their children and deepening the hold of poverty in one of the world's poorest countries. Peace House Africa helps provide the tools needed to achieve change in this region by producing graduates who can build sustainable businesses and create jobs for Tanzania's suffering economy."

Rebecca was feted for her part in raising awareness of the critical issues that Africa's AIDs orphans face today.

Lynda Erkiletian Runs A Legit Modeling Agency
Post from Hollywood Life.
By:Lindsey DiMattina
The rumors are FALSE! Lynda’s modeling agency is not an escort service, and Stacie is quick to rush to her defense!
You may have heard rumors circulating online that The Real Housewives of Washington D.C. star Lynda Erkiletian runs a top notch “escort agency,” but these are completely false! The rumors are “absolutely not” true, co-star Stacie Scott Turner tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “That is a viscous, baseless rumor!”
“She has run a reputable agency for models and stylists in DC for 26 years,” Stacie says of Lynda’s T.H.E. Artist Agency.
Though Lynda has been quoted saying that her “modeling agency” caters to “the ambassadors, to the dignitaries,” in an interview with the Washington Post, the term “catering” does not imply anything suggestive, as many people are speculating.
If this scandal over Lynda’s alleged “escort service” is used on the show, it would make for a very interesting season of the all new The Real Housewives of D.C., don’t you think?

Though Lynda has been quoted saying that her “modeling agency” caters to “the ambassadors, to the dignitaries,” in an interview with the Washington Post, the term “catering” does not imply anything suggestive, as many people are speculating.
“T.H.E Artist Agency in Georgetown is a full service agency that represents over 500 models and stylists,” the website for the agency reads. “T.H.E is not a modeling school; the opportunity to gain knowledge of the market and assistance with development is extended to all talent. As agents we are proud to promote careers in the areas of fashion runway, commercial and fashion print. We are leaders in the representation of hair and make-up artists, wardrobe stylists, set designers, food, floral and prop stylists. Experts in the areas of special effects, location scouting and production are also available through T.H.E.”
But, the site also says this: “No matter what your needs are, we have the talent available to produce a first-rate project.” Maybe Lynda should re-write that last sentence to avoid confusion.If this scandal over Lynda’s alleged “escort service” is used on the show, it would make for a very interesting season of the all new The Real Housewives of D.C., don’t you think?

Michaele-RHODC May File A Defamation Suit
Post from Examiner.com.
Now, the couple's PR attorney Lisa Bloom is saying "The View" "defamed" the couple and is on grounds for lawsuit. Bloom also accused the show of rigging a negative character of Michaele on the show when co-host Sherri Shepherd said she "should be thrown in jail" for the White House invasion. According to Bloom, "The View" producers tuned on the "Applause" light to signal clapping from the audience.
“She was branded a ‘gatecrasher’ five times and was even told she should go to jail," Bloom said to RadarOnline.com. "My client is not a criminal and she has not been charged by anybody for any crime."
Adding, "You can't call someone a rapist or a murderer when there are no charges against them. So why is it OK to defame my client?"
Conversely she says, "My client is a sweet person who has done nothing wrong and somebody should take responsibility for this."

Kelsey Has Moved On From Camille-RHOBH
Post from Music Rooms.
It has now been reported the 55-year-old is dating a blonde woman, thought to be British and called Kate. “He's pushing for a quickie divorce because things are moving quickly with his new girlfriend,” a source told the New York Post newspaper. “There is speculation that she is pregnant, but he wants to finalise the divorce before making any announcement.”

The actor confirmed he had split from his third wife Camille Donatacci, who is a former Playboy model, last month. She filed papers citing irreconcilable differences, and asked for primary custody of their kids Mason, eight, and five-year-old Jude, with visitation for her estranged husband. Kelsey asked for time to work through the situation, and later told his fans to respect Camille’s decision via Twitter.
The actor insisted the couple had just grown apart, and much was made of Kelsey’s decision to star in a Broadway production La Cage aux Folles while his family stayed in Los Angeles. He denied he was in a new relationship, but said he expected to start dating again in the future.
It has now been reported the 55-year-old is dating a blonde woman, thought to be British and called Kate. “He's pushing for a quickie divorce because things are moving quickly with his new girlfriend,” a source told the New York Post newspaper. “There is speculation that she is pregnant, but he wants to finalise the divorce before making any announcement.”Kelsey was spotted strolling with the woman in New York over the weekend. She was dressed in a black dress, which appeared to reveal a baby bump.
The star’s representative refused to comment on the baby claims, only saying: “Kelsey did not discuss it with me. They are very happy together.”
Kelsey has daughters Spencer Grammer, 26, and Greer Kandace Grammer, 18, from other relationships.
Excerpt from People.com.
A rep for Grammer, 55, confirmed the woman's first name, as reported in the New York Post. "They are very happy together," says Grammer's publicist, Stan Rosenfield, who declined to provide more details other than that Kate "is not in the entertainment business."
Michaele Salahi Talks To Steppin' Out
Excerpts from Almost Famous.
“You know Chaunce, we were invited.” Michaele says in the interview. “You have to get vetted before you go to an event at the White House. So when they reached out to us and asked for all our information we, submitted it.” Michaele and husband were than told where to go and what day to arrive on that day. Soon after the White House situation she was invited onto The View. She believes the only reason she was invited on The View was to get yelled at. Michaele had reservations about going on the show but she wanted to support the other Housewives. She says, “I really thought it would be more about the show and less about attacking me personally about the White House. I found out later from Bravo that “The View” stated, “If we don’t have Michaele, we don’t want the wives. So they had a goal in mind right from the start that they were going to do this to me.”

So when they reached out to us and asked for all our information we, submitted it.” Michaele and husband were than told where to go and what day to arrive on that day. Soon after the White House situation she was invited onto The View. She believes the only reason she was invited on The View was to get yelled at. Michaele had reservations about going on the show but she wanted to support the other Housewives. She says, “I really thought it would be more about the show and less about attacking me personally about the White House. I found out later from Bravo that “The View” stated, “If we don’t have Michaele, we don’t want the wives. So they had a goal in mind right from the start that they were going to do this to me.”Michaele has very strong feelings on Whoppi Goldberg as well. She thinks Whoppi “Whoppied out on me.” Michaele doesn’t know Whoppi personally but she wishes after the meeting she had met the actress and not the person. “When she was yelling at me I just kept looking at her and I started to cry.” Michaele found Whoppi hostile even though Whoppie told her, “This is just who I am! People who know me know that I always say F this and F that.”
She did have a great experience meeting Housewife Danille Staub saying, “I met her and I loved her! She’s the nicest person ever! I met her in the green room of the Today Show and I knew she was the one that everyone said is rough. But when she saw me she jumped up and ran over to me and said, “I know you’re a DC housewife! Welcome to the team.” We hugged each other and I said, “Wow, you’re a beautiful person.” She said just take care of yourself. She’s so easy to talk to and a non-bitch. She’s nothing like they made her out to be.”
