Congrats: RHOC’s Briana is having a baby boy!

Us Weekly reports Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson’s daughter Briana Wolfsmith is pregnant with a baby boy!

Here’s what Us Weekly reports:

In an interview with Marine Corps Times, Briana’s hubby Ryan Culberson said they waited until their May 12 vow renewal to break the news to friends and family. When they cut their wedding cake, blue frosting was used to reveal their child’s gender.

Culberson — who has been deployed in Iraq twice and and Afghanistan once — also explained why he and Wolfsmith, 24, eloped in October 2011.

“I think the deployment and her health are the main reasons we did this,” Culberson said. “Knowing she was cancer-free and me coming back from deployments where we lost guys and people were getting hurt left and right — it just made sense.”

Though he’s appeared on the Bravo reality series, Culberson doesn’t watch much TV. “Me being the normal guy, I don’t watch those kinds of shows,” he said.

His fellow Marines have often ribbed him about being on camera. “They say they’re going to change my call sign to ‘Housewife.’ Most of my superiors’ wives watch it, so they’ll see me on TV and ask if I had makeup on.”

Congrats!

Photos: ‘Real Housewives’ stars are featured in Us Weekly’s Hot Bodies issue!

The Real Housewives of Orange County stars Alexis Bellino and Gretchen Rossi are featured alongside Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga in a photoshoot for Us Weekly‘s new issue!

In the issue they give their secrets to maintaining their hot bodies:

  • Alexis: “I won’t give up red wine, chocolate or carbs!” says the O.C. star, 35 (wed to Jim, 49). So the 5-foot-7, 120-pound mom of three, who had a nose job last fall, exercises three times a week. As for more surgery? “I’m done picking myself apart. Life’s too short to spend another month recovering.”
  • Gretchen: “I know everyone says this, but it’s amazing how much my body changed in my thirties,” says the O.C. star, 33 who lives with beau Slade Smiley, 43. Hence the 5-foot-5, 118-pounder’s content workouts: “I’ll do lunged in my driveway or cull a lamp in my room. I want to look good!”
  • Melissa: “I like a feminine body. I don’t want to be a bodybuilder!” says the kickboxing convert, 33 (wed to Joe, 37). Looking good next to her RHONJ castrates is just a bonus for the 5-foot-4, 115-pound mom of three. “Hey, a little friendly competition never hurt anybody,” she jokes.

RHOC episode 15 “Scream Therapy” reaction

This week on The Real Housewives of Orange County Slade goes to therapy as Tamra and Alexis butt heads before off to Costa Rica. Here’s our take on it!

“Scream Therapy”

Brooks is there to listen to Vicki as she tells him everything Briana said about him. Like is that really necessary Vicki?

Heather meets up with her pal Dina Waters at Via Alloro to talk living in Cali. Who remembers Dina from Men Behaving Badly…good times!

Heather talks changing her name to Dubrow but she hates when people mispronounce it. Later Terry gets all misty-eyed when he finds out. Too cute.

Gretchen asks Slade to consider couples therapy to see if this can help them.

Slade isn’t really into it but says he’ll go anyways. Nice hair Slade.

So they head over to the Dynamic Learning & Listening Center to meet with Dr. Pamela Varady but they are already bickering on the way there.

It’s all about money as Slade is still dealing with child support payments, as Gretchen is scared nothing will change. Slade admits that he keeps getting called to help Gretchen so he can’t focus on his own stuff. So now Slade will work on his own crap from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. everyday. Gretchen wonders if that’s really going to help and so do we. There’s that hair again Slade.

Alexis calls home as Jim gets the kids up as she is off to a photo-shoot for her clothing line. There she goes being super-ma again.

Later she meets with Vanzil Burke, Photo Studio Owner plus photographer Brandon Showers and stylist Christopher Mannor. They are doing a spread on Alexis Couture for Beauty and Entertainment Magazine. And her modelling has come a long way!

Vicki calls Alexis to see if she would be interested in a girls’ trip to Costa Rica and poor Alexis thinks she’s headed to Mexico! LOL ~ Next she calls Gretchen but hates her voice mail message saying to call Slade but Vicki just leaves a message anyways.

Tamra and Eddie head over to Bird Rock Fit to meet with owner Ethan Kopsch and personal trainers Ryan Halvorson and Nicole Pizzi to talk open Tamra’s fitness studio. You go girly!

They even get inspired to hold some fitness tryouts for instructors and when they said “open call” they really mean…open!

Later Tamra hits up Infusion Martini Bar to talk with Alexis about their past issues before Costa Rica. They can’t seem to agree so Tamra says she thinks that Alexis is extremely shallow and that Heather’s husband thinks she’s a phony too!

Alexis gets up to leave and asks that Tamra be respectful of her marriage and husband as Tamra says she doesn’t give two shits about either one!! Hilarious Tamra!

And next time on “Rumble in the Jungle”

The girls head off to Costa Rica for some sun, zip lining and tears as Tamra makes Alexis cry about being so damn fake!

RHOC: Briana & Ryan Santa Barbara Wedding Details & Photos Revealed

Star Magazine‘s new issue features details and photos from Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson’s daughter Briana & Ryan’s wedding.

From the print issue:

Vicki had tears in her eyes when she walked her daughter Briana down the aisle on May 12 with the stunning Santa Barbara sunset behind them.

This season viewers of the hit Bravo reality show watched Vicki reel from Briana’s announcement that she had eloped with her Marine BF Ryan Culberson, 27 tying the knot at a drive-thru wedding chapel in Las Vegas last October. “My anger and disappointment at what Briana did almost destroyed our relationship,” Vicki reveals to Star. “But time heals, and our relationship is stronger than ever.”

Briana is thrilled that she and her mom orchestrated the 25-year-old’s wedding, take two, with the help of event Alex Alexander. “It’s been really fun planning the wedding with her and just having her by my side,” she told Star just before the rustic-themed nuptials took place Santa Barbara’s posh Bacara Resort & Spa. “The wedding was very intimate and very personal and different.”

Congrats on their happy (take two) wedding!

‘Real Housewives’ star split from hubby?

Former Real Housewives of Orange County star Lynne Curtin and hubby Frank have split!

Here’s what RadarOnline.com reports:

lynneandfrank

“After more than 20 years of marriage Frank and I have decided to go our separate ways,” Lynne told RadarOnline.com. “I love Frank but it was time to go out on my own.”

Lynne, who was let go from the original Bravo Housewives show in 2010, remains friends with many of her former co-stars and Tuesday night attended the Wines by Wives event in LA with Tamra Barney and Vicki Gunvalson.

“I haven’t filed for divorce yet, but I’m going to be doing so soon,” Lynne said.

The financial troubles of Lynne and Frank were extensive, and the then-married couple blamed their romantic hardships on the bad economy.

Lynne told RadarOnline.com that the demise of her marriage is sad, but she’s not going to let that get her down.

“Who knows what the future holds, but I’m looking forward to doing the things that I want to do,” Lynne said.

RHOC episode 12 “Bombs Away” reaction

This week on Real Housewives of Orange County, Gretchen made her Pussycat Dolls debut and Vicki learned Briana eloped! Here’s our take on it:

So where were we?

Gretchen suggests a hosting coach to Alexis, and everyone is off to Vegas to see Gretchen perform with the Pussycat Dolls.

“Bombs Away

Gretchen finally hits the stage to a full house at the Pussycat Dolls Burlesque Saloon. So good job for going out there! Maybe a few more singing lessons next time but other than that…it was a fun show! Choreographer Mikey Minden and PCD creator Robin Antin were thrilled with Gretchen’s performance.

Then it’s off to the Cosmopolitan Hotel for the after party and to celebrate Gretchen’s birthday.

Sarah apologizes to Vicki and she says thanks so much…surprising! Vicki actually brings a gift for Gretchen and says sorry…Vicki says that Gretchen can say sorry too anytime now but yeah that doesn’t happen.

Alexis starts working with a new hosting coach Terry and boy does she have some work to do…but it’s a work in progress…right? I think some improv class would help her think quickly on her feet.

Heather, Terry, Gretchen and Slade head to the Bluewater Grill for some dinner.

They talk about Vicki wanting her apology back and then Terry gets real about Alexis being phony! Heather says no more wine for Terry after that comment.

Tamra helps her son Ryan with his new man-cave so they hit Comfort Home to look at some new furniture as Ryan has none. Who knew that Ryan is now working with Eddie?

And Briana takes her mom to Beach Fire to spend some time with her new man Ryan. Ryan has been a marine for the last 10 years and guess what…THEY GOT MARRIED! Congras to the happy couple! And can someone get a Xanax for Vicki please.

And next time on “Whine and Cheese”

Slade wants to marry Gretchen so asks her dad for her hand in marriage but Gretchen doesn’t know if she wants to marry at all! And Vicki tells the gang about Briana’s wedding and wants her daughter to meet Brooks.

RHOC episode 11 “What’s New, Pussycat?” reaction

This week on The Real Housewives of Orange County, everyone heads to Vegas for Gretchen’s Pussycat Dolls Debut. Here’s our take on it:

So where were we?

Alexis wants a coach but will Jim be into it? And they all head off to Vegas for Gretchen’s big Pussycat Dolls performance.

“What’s New, Pussycat?”

Gretchen heads to Alexis’s to view some of her Fox-5 work. Gretchen admits that she was offered the segment before they offered it to Alexis. Ouch…Gretchen isn’t really too impressed with the footage. Gretchen says she still sees her hosting coach so maybe Alexis should get one too.

Heather is off to an audition but she’s super nervous for being out of the loop for a while. The commute takes almost two hours…what no chopper today?

Gretchen is busy with the laundry but shouldn’t she be practicing? Alexis says she won’t miss her performance for anything! Tamra says that Gretchen shouldn’t fold a thing until she gets a ring! LOL Tamra says she’ll be there too and it ‘s Gretchen birthday weekend too.

Maybe Heather has more in common with Alexis than she thinks, as Terry isn’t happy that this new series she auditioned for shoots in Canada. Terry says that she has four kids now and Heather gets defensive. Terry says that if she wants to go to Canada to shoot a show then he’s there. He will get her two nannies so the kids can be on set with her too if that’s what she wants.

Alexis sits down with Jim to ask about getting a hosting coach but Jim isn’t pleased.

Meanwhile, Vicki packs for Vegas and admits that her and Gretchen where out of line at the Bunco Party.

Elsewhere, Gretchen practices in Vegas at the Pussycat Dolls club but poor thing isn’t as confident as a Pussycat Doll should be…

Tamra, Eddie, Vicki, Brooks, Heather and Terry land in Vegas and bitch about Alexis’s fleet of cars. Oh and how Gretchen doesn’t really have one steady job…

Later they all join up for drinks and Gretchen loves Tamra’s new boobs. Vicki actually remembered Slade’s birthday so she and Gretchen decide to play nice nice.

The next night just before Gretchen’s big performance Alexis hires a local make-up artist to do her up…

but it ends up making Alexis look two shades darker and 10 years older!

So she makes them even more late as she tries to scrap off what she can and starts again!

Four couples head off to dinner with Alexis’s new nose and Tamra’s new boobs as Alexis and Jim show up late do to the make-up meltdown. They plan to head to Gretchen’s show after.
Heather and Alexis bond over their fertility war stories but Vicki and even Tamra doesn’t wanna hear about Jim’s sperm ride to the clinic between Alexis’s legs. Meanwhile Gretchen gets glam Pussycat style…

Alexis comes back stage to pray with Gretchen as they are about to hit the stage…

as everyone else gets seated and awaits the show to begin. Break a leg Gretch!

And next week on “Bombs Away”:

Gretchen finally hits the stage and Vicki apologizes. Briana has some breaking news for her mother. And Alexis gets a coach even though Jim’s not into it.

RHOC episode 10 “Cabin Fever” reaction

A new episode The Real Housewives of Orange County aired April 17! Here’s our take on it:

So where were we?

Briana is cancer free, Tamra is boob-free, and Gretchen lost her voice yelling at Vicki. Oh what will a Pussycat do?

“Cabin Fever”

Vicki goes to visit Tamra’s new itty-bitty titties. Vicki digresses about Sarah’s bowling blow out. All of a sudden Vicki likes Alexis and that totally pisses of Tamra.

Alexis is organizing a night of “glamorous camping = glamping” for all the girls to Santa Barbara. She even invites a friend Shannon to help out.

Tamra can’t make it as she’s not fully healed from her boob job and Gretchen’s still feeling under the weather. Slade thinks Gretchen should stay home to get better for her big Pussycat Dolls performance. So she agrees and decides to skip the trip.

Alexis, Shannon and Heather meet up with Briana and Vicki for the drive out to the cabin. Alexis dances too hard in the car and busts her new nose.

Eddie takes flowers over to Tamra’s to see her old implants. Eddie likes her new boobs as she used to look like a hooker! LOL Eddie you so funny!

The ladies check in for “glamping” at El Capitan Canyon then head over to Canyon Market to order their meals…but Vicki is mad she has to make her own food!

Alexis gets pissed that Heather is being so picky. Later they enjoy cheap wine as Vicki takes time out to call her man Brooks. Barf.

Alexis tries to explain that she didn’t get the house she wanted but Heather doesn’t buy any of it.

Heather tries to explain that renting is a losing game but Alexis just blows off the questions.

Later Vicki apologizes to Alexis and they all play nice as long as there’s wine…

Vicki is certain there are bears in them woods…but it’s just a skunk. Smile for the camera…

The next morning Vicki finds out about Briana’s new man Ryan on Facebook. Alexis tells Vicki that she couldn’t find the heater so they froze last night. They head over for breakfast and talk of insuring Alexis’s wedding ring comes up. Doesn’t everyone have their diamonds insured? Oh sure – don’t you?

Gretchen and Slade head over to see her vocal producer Muschke for some much needed rehearsal time.

He suggests to stop singing for now to save her vocal cords as she cries to Slade in the car on the way home.

And next time on “What’s New, Pussycat?”

Gretchen big debut as a Pussycat Doll in Vegas is finally here, as Heather and Alexis get into acting leaving Jim in the cold.

Tune in next Tuesday at 9/8c for a new episode of RHOC on Bravo!

RHOC episode 9 “Bowling For Champs” reaction

A new episode The Real Housewives of Orange County aired April 10! Here’s our take on it:

Tamra gets ready for her implant removal surgery with Eddie by her side. He’s so supportive…like a good bra – no pun intended.

Good for her for removing her implants after her cervical cancer scare. When she wakes up, she wants to call Vicki, as Gretchen shows up in heels! Again, Gretchen = good bra.

But that was nice, she even brought a gift of some Asombroso Tequila in a penis shaped bottle and card that welcomes her to the “itty bitty titty committee”! LOL

Vicki heads to lunch with Brooks who gives her a sweet card. They discuss her divorce terms, and Vicki admits her love tanks are finally running on full. But I’m with Tamra…could Brooks be too good to be true?

Heather is planning a “champagne & couples” bowling party and calls all the girls.

Alexis can’t make it, as she’s not fully healed from her nose surgery. But she’s well enough to get back to work? Now she just needs to allow her guests to speak!

Jim ruins a romantic date night by asking his wife to a stay-at-home housewife again. Poor Alexis.

Gretchen is still recovering from losing her voice from the Bunco bashout, but the show must go on! Her Vegas performance with the Pussycat Dolls is approaching. She admits that being silent under doctors is like “asking a dog to not to bark!” She heads off to a voice class with Rachel Riggs. Gretchen can sing…but poor thing is still sick. Bit nerve-racking having Slade sitting and commenting from the back of the room.

Gretchen invites Sarah Winchester and her fiancée to the champagne bowling night. She brought Slade, and Vicki brings Brooks plus Heather and Terry makes a party. Vicki and Gretchen hug it out like nothing ever happened and Vicki even manages to slip and fall into the alley…

but Team Vicki wins the bottle of Cristal anyways. Whoo-hoo Vicki!

All is well until Sarah busts up a conversation between Vicki and Heather to start to getting into Vicki’s face … for nothing!

But Vicki fakes her out and leaves but Sarah follows. She starts up with “who do you think you are” Sarah retreats to her fiancée and starts up again…as Vicki said “I think someone’s had one too many drinks.” Even Gretchen says Sarah needs to relax!

Before she leaves Sarah tries again to talk to Vicki! Vicki blows her off as Terry tries to help so only then Heather finally ends the party.

And next week:

Tamra’s boobs are gone and Vicki comes to visit. As the girls go “glamping” and Vicki is sure a bear is stalking them! Gretchen is scared to tears about her upcoming Pussycat Dolls performance.

Tune in next Tuesday at 9/8c for a new episode of RHOC on Bravo!

RHOC episode 8 “Dirty Housewives” reaction

A new episode The Real Housewives of Orange County aired April 3! Here’s our take on it:

Heather takes Terry to see David Heil from David August for a wardrobe makeover. The trip costs a pretty penny like 50k plus and extra 15k for all the accessories. Thank goodness he’s a doctor.

Tamra and Eddie head to a workout, as Tamra wants to open a fitness center at some point.

And with a new business she wants to downsize her rack to match her fitter body. Hey at less she isn’t going bigger!

Briana tells Vicki that she’s cancer free! She just needs thyroid hormones therapy for the rest of her life to replace the thyroid they removed. Great news and Vicki calls Tamra to share the amazing news. Go Briana!

Tamra heads over Heather’s for a workout in her in home gym. I want one of those.

Heather explains that she’s in for the mud run fundraiser coming up. Gretchen and Slade will also be there. But Vicki will be with Brooks and Alexis is still recovering from surgery.

Speaking of Alexis, Gretchen takes some flowers over for her friend recovering from her nose surgery on day five.

Alexis says that she will over do this again and wants to confront Tamra as soon as she’s feeling better.

Vicki gets a visit from Tamra as Vicki is pulling clothes to donate to a local charity.

Meanwhile, three couples head off to the Del Mar Mud Run and it doesn’t take long for Gretchen to hurt her ankle.

The medic wraps her ankle but she can’t continue. So Slade carries her to the finish line.

Even Tamra’s son Ryan is there as Terry pops Eddie’s broken finger back into place.

Heather really starts to get into it as the two out of three couples cross the finish line.

Alexis gets the bandages removed, she cries in pain, but is thrilled with the results.

Later the three couples head off to drinks as Slade explains he was in the Tour De France in 2003. A “Tour De Slade” if you will…

This makes Tamra wanna barf all over Gretchen. But they all end the day on a high note. CHEERS!

Vicki’s working on filling up her love tank during dinner with Brooks. Brooks says he loves her and Vicki cries for her daddy. Vicki says she hates PDA but Brooks tells her to give it to him anyways…like get a room to fill up the love tank in private. Gez.

Tamra heads off to finalize her divorce but only Eddie is happy about it.

In her lawyers office she cries that she couldn’t make her marriage work. But she does sign them, then she leaves and calls Vicki for support.

And next time on “Bowling For Champs”

Alexis heads back to work but Jim wants her to stay home. Gretchen gets singing lessons, as Tamra gets her boobs removed. The newest housewife Sarah Winchester calls out Vicki.

Tune in next Tuesday at 9/8c for a new episode of RHOC on Bravo!
