It’s going to be one heck of a sophomore season for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as the new trailer shows.

With the six ladies from last year returning for another go-round, the drama should be amped enough on it’s own, however this is BRAVO and so two other cast members are added to ensure someone goes too far.

Adrienne Maloof, Kim and Kyle Richards, Taylor Armstrong, Lisa Vanderpump and Camille Grammer continue to scream at each other. With the addition of Dana Wilkey and Brandi Glanville - the fights get nastier and more crazed.

Wilkey and Glanville are not considered official RHOBH additions this season, but from the promo Brandi looks like she wants in baaad.

Season 2 returns September 5th.

Real Housewives of New York stars Ramona Singer and Jill Zarin are continuing to wage their pinot grigio war from the episode to their twitter/blog/Facebook pages.

To Auction or Not To Auction, That is the Question:

On Thursday’s episode, Zarin hosted a fundraiser to help teens and young people suffering because of bullying. Swag bags included Jill’s book and Countess LuAnn de Lesseps‘ CD (ugh! hope there was something else in those bags…)

The drama ensued when Ramona came with a case of her Ramona Singer label pinot grigio, that Zarin was under the impression was supposed to be auctioned off for charity. Ramona was under no such ideal and proceeded to strongly suggest to staff they serve her, promptly.

Ramona and Jill got into at the event, with Jill confronting her about the auction. Ramona claims Jill’s assistant told her to bring her own wine to drink and now the ladies have taken up the battle online.

She’s at it again.

Real Housewives of New York star Countess LuAnn de Lesseps has another “song” and an accompanying video which leave a lot to be desired.

“Chic C’est La Vie” is the latest LuAnn musical attempt (seriously BRAVO – STOP IT!) and it’s just… ugh…

LuAnn and RHONY costars Jill Zarin and Kelly Killoren Bensimon drink, gamble and dance in the limo on the way to and at Atlantic City’s Borgata Hotel, Casino and Spa.

The Countess gives a shout out to each of the current Housewives with this fabulous lyric:

“Attention Jill, bring your jewelry. Cindy, bring those crystals. Ramona, bring that Pinot. Sonja, her man. Kelly, the jelly beans. Alex bring Simon, and I’ll bring the diamonds.”

While Jill and Kelly did appear in the video, Cindy Barshop, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, Alex McCord and Simon Van Kempen declined to join the video.

“It was very disappointing that the other ladies wouldn’t be part of it. The other girls didn’t come, they didn’t think it was appropriate. I didn’t want anyone to feel like they were being excluded so I invited everyone. And let’s face it, I sing about them in the song,” LuAnn said. “They said it was not the right image they wanted to portray and I was like ‘excuse me, not the right image?’ Who goes out without their panties, another rubs her husbands naked chest on the show, please.”

Well, I’m no fan of LuAnn, but you gotta admit – the other ladies (and one house husband!) dismissing LuAnn in the cold manner she treats them sometimes is a pretty good b*tch slap.

Real Housewives of New York stars Jill Zarin and Ramona Singer are taking their feud to new levels with Zarin accusing Mario Singer, Ramona’s husband, of pushing her at event in the Hamptons earlier this month.

The private shindig on June 10th had a very hot-under-the-collar Mario making a beeline for Jill to confront her over Ramona’s current storyline on the hit Bravo show.

“Once Mario found Jill, he began screaming at her and was blaming her for the fact that Ramona looks like a drunk this season on the show,” one partygoer said. “It was really sad and pathetic that Mario was screaming at Jill like this. It was abusive and everyone at the party was extremely offended.”

At the time, an eyewitness reported that another guest interfered and Mario then got into it with Jill’s husband Bobby Zarin.

Flash forward to Monday, June 21st at the Bad Teacher premiere where Jill says it wasn’t just verbal abuse she took from Mario.

“Last weekend, he shoved me. I was at a friends house for a dinner party,” Jill said of Mario, who also attended the premiere. “I was on line for the buffet … and Mario started screaming at me, uncontrollably. And then he pushed me – he shoved me with his hand. He was blaming me for his wife coming off badly on the show. He repeated things he thinks I said that he didn’t like.”

Ramona says it did not happen the way Jill is claiming, but does not acknowledge the confrontation. Ramona says of Jill

“She likes to exaggerate things.”

Jill feels her safety was threatened and called in some professional help for the red carpet event.

“If he goes near me, I brought my own bodyguard, Wayne, [to the premiere],” she said. “I had heard Mario was going to be here. I wanted to make sure nobody touched me.”

Of course the cameras weren’t rolling for RHONY at the time of the party so it won’t be seen on the show this season, but do expect it to come up at the reunion show, which was just filmed on this week.

Bravo TV has been highlighting Real Housewives of New York Ramona Singer and her wine consumption this season.

Her love of pinot grigio and how single minded she can be when she doesn’t get that specific drink coupled with the other housewives talking about Ramona’s drinking have left viewers wondering if she does have a problem.

Singer says it’s all bunk.

“Do I overdrink? No. I drink with responsibility,” Ramona said. “I drink with a beautiful dinner. I would rather have my one or two glasses of Pinot Grigio than dessert which is 700 calories.”

Ramona points out how many of the episodes are filmed at parties and events where wine and alcohol flow freely, not just for her.

“All I can say is, we’re filmed in social events. If you look at anytime I have a drink in my hand, look what LuAnn [de Lesseps] is drinking. The other people are drinking,” Ramona said. “The only person who doesn’t drink is Jill [Zarin]. She only drinks Diet Coke – and you wonder why? But anyway, all the other Housewives shows – they’re all drinking.”

Singer, 54, says life is short and she just wants to enjoy herself with a glass or two of wine after a hard day of running her businesses.

“I’ve been on the show for four years. How can I have five businesses, be married 19 years, have a daughter who’s a straight-A student? I cannot even be a … functioning alcoholic if I had all of this stuff going on,” Ramona said. “It would be impossible. Do you ever see me fall down on TV? Do you ever see me slur my speech? Absolutely not. Do I have a drink or two with dinner? Absolutely.”

I think Ramona and whether or not she is an excessive drinker – you simply cannot tell by the way Bravo edits, so I find it unfortunate that she is being labeled with this. I don’t trust what any of the housewives say about each other. But I do think her obsessive need for just one kind of drink (pinot) is pretty over the top.

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!

It seems all you need to do to get a book deal these days is become a C- or even D-List celebrity and the publishing houses beat a path to your door.  And if you’re Kelly Bensimon of the Real Housewives of New York, you get multiple book deals.  She’s just inked a contract to write her fourth book.

Kelly’s I Want To Make You Hot, will be published by St. Martin’s Press sometime in 2012. Why this book?  She says she feels

“good about myself, my fluctuating weight and my life.  Hot isn’t about a waist size or a number on a scale.  We can control how we look and feel, so let’s get started together…Spend seven days with me and my expert friends and we’ll have fun with exercise, eat better, dress amazing, have more fun and smile through a life that’s too short.”

Seven days to a better life, huh?  Talk about high expectations!  We’ll see next year when the book comes out whether Kelly can actually deliver.

There is always trouble brewing among the ladies of the Real Housewives of Orange County but Alexis Bellino is revealing something more serious about herself.

“I suffered from both anorexia and bulimia,” Bellino told E! Online.

The reality TV star is coming forward with her private battle to help others who are struggling with the same issues.

“It’s time to try to help people with something I overcame,” the Christian beauty said.

“Someone can be 10 years free of it. Your life can go back to normal. I’ve been through a lot of therapy over the years.”

Bellino’s personal turmoil began at the age of 12 when her parents divorced but didn’t come to light until she was 18 and away at college.

“In college I would go days without eating, because it does consume you…I would do both, but mostly purging because I would be out with friends. It’s not pretty.”

After her mother was alerted to Alexis’ problem by her roommate, she took her daughter to get help. Bellino offers sage advice to other people affected by eating disorders.

While likening it to alcoholism the Bravo star admits you can’t ever really say you are cured however:

“You can come through the other side,” she says.
