3 Ice Cubes

  Credit: bravotv.com Yasss! This trailer is everything. Bravo has finally released the Season 16 trailer for the 'RHOC' less than one month before it is set to premiere. Of course, Shannon Beador is still screeching and Heather Dubrow is still fancy. However, the women are all holding their own with quirky one-liners that are not to be missed. At one point, three of the ladies are in a detoxing sauna where Emily brings in a sandwich. When Heather questions it, Emily responds with, "it's turkey!" The newbies seem to be interesting additions and it is almost exciting to have Mrs. Dubrow back. She straightens Shannon out and it is about time. Catch the premiere on December 1st only on Bravo.     

  Credit: Bravo Last night, 'RHOC' Season 16 casting news broke. And it was a bit shocking. OUT are Braunwyn Windham-Burke and one-season wonder Elizabeth Vargas . But, the biggest shocker may have been that Kelly Dodd's contract was not renewed. Love or hate her, she was the most controversial housewife of the series. At this point, she was actually the only real housewife, next to Emily Simpson . Braunwyn is still married to husband Sean but came out as a lesbian at the end of Season 15. They are choosing to continue to live together and raise their seven children but will pursue somewhat of an open marriage. As for Dodd, as many fans who called for her to be fired, just as many wanted her to stay. No one ever knew what she would say or do.  Her time has come to an end after joining the series in Season 11 via Meghan King. Coming full circle, Heather Dubrow will be returning for the upcoming season. She was actually the one who initially brought King on in Season 10 bef...

  photo courtesy of bravotv.com Good thing the 'RHOC' is still filming season 15 as there is some big baby news for Shannon Storms Beador's family. I say "her family" because it impacts her three children, Stella, Adeline, and Sophie. Beador's ex-husband, David Beador and his fiancee, Lesley Cook are expecting their first child together, Cook confirmed via her private Instagram. The couple got engaged early this year with David telling PEOPLE of the happy news: "Yes, Lesley and I are excited to be engaged. We are celebrating in Miami and then going to the Super Bowl."  Beador, 55 and Cook, 36 have been together for over two years but it was his relationship with Storms Beador on 'RHOC' that made him a household name. David and Shannon joined the Bravo series during season nine but quickly faced troubles as they could not quite connect as a couple. She was extremely into leading an organic life, even having jewels put into her t...

photo courtesy of bravotv.com So much has been going on in the world that it is easy to forget about the RHOC . That and this season has been somewhat of a snoozefest, just saying. But, some of the best times, for any season of any franchise, are the vacations. Well, with the exception of going to Iceland last year (was it last year when we had Peggy and brought back Lydia) on RHOC because that trip sucked! For the season 13 trip, it was time to spice things up as Shannon had just experienced an epic sales debut on QVC with her food line so why not head to Jamaica? There were many questions: would fun Vicki finally come out? Would Gina and Emily get some respect from Shannon? How many times would Vicki scream "whoop it up" before she gets locked up? Well, ICYMI, here are some of the highlights from the first two parts of the Jamaica trip...and we still have more to come. As I am writing this, the cast is actually filming the reunion so let's see what gossip we can get...

photo courtesy of bravotv.com We pretty much know that season 12 "The Real Housewives of Orange County" newcomer, Peggy is dunzo but what about the rest of the cast? Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador took to Instagram to show themselves working out at Judge's CUT Fitness with the hashtag #season13 and seemingly, OG Vicki Gunvalson will be back but what about the other ladies? Today, we got word, once again via social media, that there is one less housewife. Meghan King Edmonds , who announced at the reunion she was pregnant with her second child (ultimately twin boys via IVF), will be leaving the series after three seasons.  She said she was ready to put in one more year but with her pregnancy, exhaustion, and her husband, Jim Edmonds based in St. Louis with his other kids, she just knew it was time to go. This is sad for longtime Meghan fans, such as myself. I know many people called her boring last season but I still love her and am sad to see her leave. What ab...

photo courtesy of bravotv.com It's "The Real Housewives of Orange County" reunion filming day so it is only appropriate that big news would break! Shannon Beador and husband, David have separated. The duo, who joined the BRAVO show in season 9, experienced a dramatic low when David cheated on Shannon. The two did the best that they could to rebuild, even renewing  their vows but it seemed that they could never find a happy place again. This season focused on Shannon's dramatic weight gain of 40  pounds and her struggle to connect with her husband and feel sexy. 

photo courtesy of bravotv.com Season 12 of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" is underway and there are many mixed emotions with this one. I think because we have seen so many fireworks when it comes to "The Real Housewives of New York City" and the train wreck that is Tom and LuAnn and well as Ramona that we just expect the OC to be this sh**show but unfortunately, it fell flat in many ways. ICYMI, here is what happened during the season 12 premiere.

photo courtesy of bravotv.com It is time for season 12 of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" and the preview looks amazing, aside from the fact that we have lost "fancy pants" Heather Dubrow and kept Kelly Dodd . Dubrow, and actress and wife of famed plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow , joined the series in its seventh season but announced her departure after the end of season 11. Not a shocker after some of the conflict between her and Dodd, especially after a fight at a restaurant where Dodd used the C word. Even a dune accident could not permanently save their relationship. Returning, we have OG (and the most obnoxious) Vicki Gunvalson ; Tamra Judge ; Shannon Beador ; new mom, Meghan King Edmonds ; and Kelly Dodd . There is a new housewife but she has already turned me off and Lydia McLaughlin is returning after spending just one season (season 8) on the series. She came on as a friend of Alexis Bellino and became friends with Gunv...

photo courtesy of bravotv.com The time has come for the season eleven finale of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" and it seems to have come super fast. If you follow any of the cast on social media, you will know that they filmed the reunion just a few short weeks ago and that is when the sparks really fly. But, ICYMI, here is what you missed during season 11 of RHOC!

photo courtesy of bravotv.com No one is getting along on "The Real Housewives of Orange County." Poor Meghan King Edmonds, newly preggers on the Bravo series, has to be the mature one and apologize when in reality, she did nothing wrong. I am referring to her not visiting co-star Vicki Gunvalson in the hospital after an accident at Glamis Dunes, which also involved Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge and Kelly Dodd.  Both Meghan and Shannon Beador declined to visit Vicki as they were vacationing together   (who would have thunk it?) yet Meghan kept in touch with her throughout her brief hospital stay. Former enemies, Dodd and Dubrow, are now besties and Team Vicki and truly acting holier than thou. It is enough to make one vomit, to be honest and many twitter fans have started to not like Dubrow as much as they once did, myself included. Vicki's daughter, Briana, even indicated that her mom was embellishing the severity just a tad for sympathy...or a cas...

Kelly Dodd and hubby courtesy of Bravo A new episode of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" airs tonight at 9p.m. on Bravo and ICYMI, here's what we have learned from season 11, thus far.
