Taylor Armstrong On Weight: "I Went Too Far"

She has always been model-slim, but recently photos surfaced of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Taylor Armstrong looking exceedingly thin, which sparked rumors that marriage trouble had led to an “eating disorder.”


It’s “absolutely not true,” Taylor shares exclusively with OK!. “My husband, Russell, and I are together and in love and happier than ever. But I do want to tell OK! exactly what did happened. I decided I needed to drop a few pounds, but I went to unhealthy extremes.”


How did it all start?
Russell brought home diet supplements two months ago because someone he knows wanted him to look at the company. We didn’t discuss the business end of it, but I started taking the supplements without him knowing. In the back of my mind I didn’t think they would even work, so I wasn’t worried — they were all natural and I thought you had to take prescription drugs to really ever lose weight.


Why did you think you needed them?
You know how it is as a woman; I was feeling my clothes were tight. I get everything tailored to fit me just right, so even if I gain just a few pounds my clothes don’t fit. I’d gained some weight because I was so busy with the show, being a wife and mother and running my start-up business (beautyticket.com). We went to charity events at night and I was eating unhealthy “event food” or drive-thru food, so I felt I needed to lose some weight. When I was taking the supplements, I had so much energy and wasn’t hungry — I thought it was great at first.


Has Russell ever made you feel self-conscious about your body?
Not at all. As a matter of fact, like most men, he likes me best when I am voluptuous. Recently we were looking at photos and he pointed out one and said I looked so lovely in it. I laughed as I told him: “I was five months pregnant there!”


When did you know you’d gone too far?
It was Russell who got me to admit the truth. He saw I wasn’t eating much and that I was too thin. I wasn’t weighing myself or taking my measurements, but when he said it I knew he was right.

Camille Grammer Tones Down Her Act

Has Kelsey Grammer's ex-wife Camille Grammer been ordered in their divorce settlement to shut up about their painful split and calm down on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?


After hitting the jackpot in her recent divorce settlement with the "Frasier" star -- and facing a custody battle for their kids -- Camille has returned to the show's second-season tapings "subdued."


So much so that Bravo producers are finding her character -- which provided a lot of the crazy entertainment in Season 1 -- "really boring," according to sources, one of whom added, "Producers have told Camille she has to start being more interesting and causing more drama."


"Nobody knows what's in that divorce settlement," says a source close to the show. "But I would not be surprised if she could not discuss certain things. She's checking what comes out of her mouth, and the producers are pushing for the cast to be as naughty and as full-on as possible."


A rep for Camille said sternly, "We have never discussed Season 2, and won't." A Bravo rep also declined to comment.


The network has not announced the new season cast or when it will begin airing, but reports say all original members are back.

Camille Grammer: Ready To Fight For Her Kids

Camille Grammer is not taking her ex-husband's request for custody of their two children lightly.


"She will fight like hell to keep her children with her, being raised by her, exactly where the children wish to be," a close friend of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star tells PEOPLE.


Kelsey Grammer, 56, filed for sole custody of Mason, 9, and Jude, 6, in L.A. County Superior Court last week. The filing offers Camille time with the kids during half of their summer and half of their winter breaks.


Last year, Kelsey relocated to New York City where he starred in the Broadway musical La Cage Aux Folles. He met flight attendant Kayte Walsh during this time and announced his split from Camille last summer. The two were divorced in February and Kelsey married Walsh later that month. The couple reside in New York City, while Camille lives in Los Angeles with her and Kelsey's children.


"He abandoned his family and got married within months of separating from Camille, all of which speaks volumes about his parenting and his respect for his current children," says the friend, who describes Camille, 42, as a "loving and compassionate mother."


"Camille looks forward to a full and complete professional evaluation," the friend continues, "which she is more than confident will show her to be the more appropriate person to be primarily responsible for the custody of the children."


Asked to comment on Kelsey's court filing, a rep for the actor told PEOPLE, "The filing speaks for itself."

Brandi Glanville: 'Very Happy' To Join RHOBH

Brandi Glanville, the ex-wife of newlywed Eddie Cibrian, is getting her own time in the spotlight – as the newest castmate on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, a source confirms.


"She really wanted to be on the show, so she's very happy," the source tells PEOPLE


Glanville, 38, had been in negotiations to join the latest installment of Bravo's hit Real Housewives franchise since earlier this year. The network was also previously in talks with singer Robbie Williams' wife, Ayda Field, a source says.


Although no official announcement has been made by Bravo, Glanville has been hinting about her new gig for weeks, coyly Tweeting on April 9: "Moving to the hills of Beverly on April 22."


Glanville joins the rest of the feisty Housewives cast – Kim and Kyle Richards; Adrienne Maloof; Lisa VanderPump; Taylor Armstrong; and Camille Grammer – who are all set to return for a second season.


So, what should fans expect in season 2? A source tells PEOPLE that Kim Richards is a more assertive presence, while her sister, Kyle, has taken a more laid-back approach this year. In addition, the entire cast has been more accepting of Grammer, who sparred endlessly with Kyle and was a source of friction in season 1.


Meanwhile, Glanville isn't exactly a stranger to drama: Starting in 2009 she was engaged in public, off-screen, feud with her ex, Cibrian, with whom she split after eight years of marriage.


She has since made peace with her ex – with whom she has two sons. Cibrian married country star LeAnn Rimes last month.

Taylor Armstrong & Hubby Secretly Separate

Taylor Armstrong has finally left her icy husband, Russell.


A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has secretly separated from her banker husband of seven years.


"They've had huge marital problems related to finances," the insider says of the pair, who were seen together with daughter Kennedy, 5, at a May 7 Lollipop Theater Network event in Burbank, Calif.


The couple's marital problems are nothing new: Bravo viewers watched them bicker constantly during the show's first season, and Taylor even likened their marriage to a business arrangement.


Still, the recent split is taking a physical toll on Taylor. "She's emaciated -- down 10, 15 pounds," a source tells Us.


The Real Housewives drama doesn't end there. New cast member Brandi Glanville, 38 -- Eddie Cibrian's ex -- and Kyle Richards, 42, have been "going at it" since filming began on season 2. "They got into a fight and Brandi lunged at Kyle," a source says. "They had to be separated by producers."

OC Vicki Tells Brandi Glanville To "Be Careful"

Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson has strong words for Brandi Glanville, the ex-wife of LeAnn Rimes’ husband Eddie Cibrian, who is joining the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.


“Be careful,” she tells me at the Mint Jubilee Celebration surrounding the Kentucky Derby. “It’s not all glamour. You’re going to shed some real tears. You’re going to see people hurt you that you never thought could hurt you before. I think she’s in for a rude awakening. It’s not all fun at times, but the experiences have been that of a lifetime. I wouldn’t change it for the world. It’s been great.”


Hm, what does he think of her Beverly Hills counterparts?


“I met all the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and they were lovely ladies,” she says. “It’s interesting that they would throw another franchise in the same one-hour distance from us, but we’re very different in regards to lifestyle and money. I mean, I wish I had their money. I don’t. We’re more of the middle-class of California, whereas they’re absolutely the upper class. I think that the viewers like California, they like the lifestyle, they like the color scheme, and both of our shows are being a hit because of that.”


Vicki, who debuted on the show in 2007, confesses that her portion of the reality show is as real as it gets.


“I just know my story’s all true. I don’t know what the other girls are doing. This is a reality TV show, and I feel like a lot of it is being lost in this pre-thinking about what we’re going to film. I don’t do that; my life is my life. When I cry, I cry real tears. When I laugh, I’m woo-hooing. I don’t know what the other women are up to; I stay focused on myself, my career, my family, and I try to do the right thing.”


What misconceptions could she clear up about herself?


“I think people love me or hate me,” she says.  “There’s no middle of the road. I’m lucky today at the Oaks, I had so many people come up and cry and say I’ve given them inspiration as a woman, and taught them good work ethic. They complimented me on being a good mother. If there’s anything negative, I don’t hear it. I try to stay away from the blogs and the bad things. I think the bad would be that I’m insensitive and I’m too hard, but I’m not. I’m compassionate and caring about other people. I give back to our community, and I love my work and my family. If that’s what makes me a bad person, then so be it.”
