Season 6 of The Real Housewives of Orange County is wrapping up with a two part Reunion Show special (and the “lost” footage one to follow) and wow! does the fur fly!

Everyone participates: Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Barney, Peggy Tanous, Alexis Bellino and Gretchen Rossi sit down for the Andy Cohen hosted chat and no one holds back.

In the preview clip Bravo TV just released, Tamra is swinging at just about everybody. She and Gretchen have it out (again – with a bit of tag team help from Vicki) and Tamra goes head to head with series semi-regulars Jeana Keough and Slade Smiley.

Slimey err Smiley does go pretty low with his comment shown in the clip and Tamra walks off in a rage (only to return I’m sure – this is Bravo and they are all contracted…) Anyone who says something that goes too far in this series – that’s saying something!

Vicki’s husband Donn Gunvalson is interviewed for the show and says “I don’t think the way this went down was treated with class or dignity.” For now we can only guess that he is referencing their marriage and divorce.

Peggy and Alexis will also spar with Peggy saying she “hung out with” Alexis’ husband Jim Bellino before they were married.

But one question I have – where is Fernanda Rocha? I hope we get to hear her take on the insanity of RHOOC season 6!

Bethenney Frankel‘s ex-managers have filed a huge lawsuit against the reality TV star claiming they’ve been cut out of profits from deals they brokered.

The Raw Talent company filed suit for $112 million alleging she contracted with company head Doug Wald in 2008 as her personal rep and he helped broker a deal for the Skinnygirl cocktail line.

Raw Talent also claims to have hooked Bethenny up with a veteran in the liquor industry who could help her market the line with Frankel fronting it and sell it in a couple of years for a huge profit.

In the court papers Wald says he was fired just days before the deal was actually inked and when the company was sold 2 years later, he was owed his 10% cut.

The percentage of the deal would be about $12 million plus Raw Talent wants $100 million punitive damages!

Not so fast says the former Real Housewives of New York star.

Frankel said in a statement that she isn’t paying and she won’t be pushed around.

“Unfortunately, one of the signs of success is being the subject of frivolous lawsuits, like this one,” Frankel says in a statement to THR. “This is simply someone with his hand out, who did nothing to earn it, and I am not going to be bullied.”

The Bethenny Ever After star says she’s considering all avenues, including a possible countersuit.

Stay tuned…

Lea Black wife of defense attorney Roy Black, who counts Kelsey Grammer as a former client.

Bravo TV aired the second half of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion special last night and the ladies (and their husbands) really got into some of the most controversial topics from the season.

What were the big reveals from last night:

Sisters Kim Richards & Kyle Richards are talking, but barely, it seems. Kim would not open up about the massive season ending fight the two got into in the limo from Taylor Armstrong’s birthday party at all and simply refused to answer if she had been in rehab or not. As for their relationship the two said:

Kyle said she could be “a lot more gentle” with Kim. But, she said, “It’s who I am. I think tough love – I take it a little too far maybe.” Kim said it’s “been hard” seeing their relationship unravel on the show. “I feel at times she is a little too hard on me,” she said. “I love her, and I don’t want to fight with her….” They said they are moving past their ugly finale fight. “In a heated moment, things are said and done that you want to take back and you can’t…” Kim said. “I don’t want to discuss that night at all. Everything is really good today, and I’d like to keep it that way.” Kyle said, “I would give anything to take back that night. It created so much anxiety in the past few months.”

The second biggest story of the night – Lisa Vanderpump’s relationship with Cedric and how terribly it ended.

Lisa said he got “very nasty and aggressive” and told them he was moving out (he packed all his belongings in Ken’s suitcases, she said). “The last words I said to him was, ‘I do not want this.’ He screamed at me in my face, ‘You’re not my mother!’” After he left, he telephoned them saying he wanted to talk. “What he wanted, we weren’t going to give him,” Lisa said. He said he had no money and said he’d been offered to sell his story. She ended up filing a police report. “He was in my will … I am stupid, I feel a fool,” she said. “Every word that came out of his mouth was a lie … He said it doesn’t matter, they’ll believe me.”

Such a sad way for Cedric to treat Lisa and her husband Ken after the way they took him into their home and heart.

Read three more reveals here: Adrienne Maloof-Nassif has a pre-nup, Taylor Armstrong and husband are staying together and Camille Grammer apologized to Kyle.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills first season ended last night and for once, people aren’t talking about ‘Crackers’ Camille Grammer.

In a shocking ending, sisters Kim Richards and Kyle Richards get into a nasty argument with each hurling accusations back and forth. Kim told Kyle she was “a f—ing phony” and Kyle shot back telling her sister she’s “delusional.”

Kyle didn’t stop there and while fellow Housewife Adrienne Maloof tried to calm the sisters down in the back of a limo, Kyle dropped the shocking revelation that Kim needs a 12-step program.

“You are a liar … [and] you are an alcoholic! Yeah, that’s right. I’ve said it now, and everybody knows.”

Kyle didn’t stop there and blasted Kim into next week, telling the world how Kyle’s husband Maurico Umansky has been helping Kim financially for a long time:

“You are so sick. My husband has helped you every month and stood by you and taken care of you, okay, like you’re his second f–king wife!”

At the end of the show, a side bar appeared with what happened to each Housewife after the last taping. For 46 year-old Kim, it said that her family had checked her into rehab, only for Kim to check out a week later. It also said the two sisters hadn’t spoken since and their kids were trying to get them talking again.

Kyle updated her Bravo blog to say:

“The details of what happened with Kim after that night, is her story to tell. I will not go into that here. I do want to say that I have learned a lot about my sister and myself during the taping of this show. I have been able to look at our relationship from an outsider’s point of view. I’ve realized that my pain and worrying about her comes off as anger. It was not helping Kim or our relationship. I love my sister and only want the best for her. Kim knows that.”

What an ending!

The Cheftestants are back and ready to kick culinary booty.

Top Chef season 8 is a departure for the previous years. This time around former contenders to the title are taking each other on to prove that their elimination the first time around was wrong.
This years cast of 18 chefs with brilliant knife skills include:

Season 1: Tiffani Faison and Stephen Asprinio
Season 2: Elia Aboumrad and Marcel Vigneron
Season 3: Dale Levitski, Casey Thompson and Tre Wilcox
Season 4: Richard Blais, Antonia Lofaso, Spike Mendelsohn and Dale Talde
Season 5: Carla Hall, Jamie Lauren and Fabio Viviani
Season 6: Jennifer Carroll and Mike Isabella
Season 7: Tiffany Derry and Angelo Sosa

Now that is a pretty great set up for this battle of the almost winners.

Who’s missing? Stefan Richter (season 5) – the Stefan/Fabio bromance was fab – and a Stefan/Jamie round 2 – Stefan would be so over her by now! Sam Talbot (season 2)  and Bryan Voltaggio (season 6) great chefs, hot guys – what else do you need? Ed Cotton (season 7) – wearing Tiffany’s dress around the TC penthouse was funny stuff – and he was getting under Angelo’s skin in the end – now that rematch could be epic (and get him out of the ho-hum Iron Chef kitchen as Cat Cora’s sous chef.) Lea Ann Wong (season 1) she was a great counter balance to Tiffani D and I think Lea Ann and Carla would be all kinds of hilarious and talented Girl Power!

The beautiful Padma Lakshmi and Gail Simmons return and Big Poppa Tom Colicchio is taking his place at the judge’s table. The formidable (and always good with a sharp verbal sting) Anthony Bourdain pops in to make the contestants quake in their sensible shoes and black chef jackets.

The first elimination is going to be rough. Be ready.

Top Chef All-Stars premieres on Bravo Wednesday December 1st at 10pm ET.
