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.”

Slade Smiley Still Jobless And $130k In Debt

Even though he's squawking about having found a job, Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi's boyfriend has yet to find employment and pay his bills, including child support for his cancer-stricken son.


According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Rossi's man Slade Smiley owes a whopping $138,857.64 in unpaid child support.


Grayson, his child with an ex-galpal, has brain cancer and medical bills are piling up.


But despite Slade telling his concerned mom on Sunday's show that he's working, he yet has to fulfill a judge's order that he find steady work!


Rossi took to the web this morning to defend her man.


"I see Slade everyday working hard to try and find a good paying job so he can once again meet his obligations and continue to pay for Grayson's medical expenses," Rossi wrote on her blog.


"He submits resumes consistently to companies and has worked with head hunters, etc. Just because a man can no longer pay $4,000 a month in support due to loss of a job and financial hardship does not make him a deadbeat father."


According to the court documents, Smiley claims that his monthly income in 2010 was $416 a month, and in 2009 had no income. Smiley is seeking to have his monthly child support payments to Arroyo reduced from $3500 because he no longer earns the big bucks working in real estate.


"It appears he is currently living with his girlfriend," the court papers read. "The evidence shows that . . . in 2010 he earned $5,000 for participation in another television program. (Smiley) testified regarding his various unsuccessful efforts to find work in the title insurance/real estate industry. He also testified regarding his various Facebook and Twitter entries showing his attendance at various public and social events. He essentially describes these activities as networking with the purpose of securing employment in the entertainment field."


The judge ordered Smiley "to expand his efforts beyond entertainment and title insurance/real estate, and to document his efforts by keeping a detailed log." He's also mandated to contact at least five potential employers every two weeks.


On Sunday's show, Slade also told his mom that he was a consultant for Rossi's handbag and make-up products. Gretchen's version of the consulting: Smiley curled her hair for a television appearance.


Court documents also show that son Grayson's medical bills not covered by insurance now exceed $1 million.


Smiley didn't return a call for comment.

It is one of those houses that I feel I will never grow out of," she explained.


"We don't have it yet we're going to get it - I'm a firm believer of if you think positive it will happen," said Bellino. "We're about two days away from knowing.


"We're going to be buying it, the kids are really excited about moving. Every move is stressful, but sometimes you just have to do it, you've got to move, especially when it's your dream home."

Peggy Tanous Faces Foreclosure On Home?

On her hit reality show, Peggy Tanous seems to have it all and is described as a 'wealthy Orange County party girl'.


But the stay at home mother-of-two is facing losing her million dollar home to foreclosure.


BAC Home Loans Servicing, U.S. Bank National and PNC Mortgage are trying bring the home into foreclosure and have Tanous and her family removed - but the former model has hit back with a lawsuit.


Tanous, 41, is claiming that the banks did not honour a loan modification agreement she says she had with them.


She and her internet entrepreneur husband Micah made payments on time for two years after buying the property in 2006.


But they started to experience financial trouble and fell behind on their payments.


According to court records, they have two mortgages - one for $1million and a second for $312,540.


The monthly checks to make payment on the loans became scarce and they are also accused of a lax in their Orange County property taxes. But the couple have now negotiated a payment plan they are sticking by.


Tanous claims, in her lawsuit, that she made a similar payment plan with the banks.


She claims she had a deal with them to pay interest only for 10 years but was astonished in November when the banks filed a foreclosure notice.


Her lawsuit reads: 'Tanous is determined to keep the property. It is her family's home, and she does not want to lose the Property in a foreclosure sale'.

Vicki Gunvalson Melts Down Over Marital Woes

Real Housewives of Orange County's Vicki Gunvalson just isn't "woo-hooing" with as much vigor as she used to -- and with good reason.


As a new clip from Sunday's episode shows, the 48-year-old has had it with pals who prod her with relationship questions.


Recounting a dinner party Gunvalson attended with fellow wives Tamra Barney and Peggy Tanous, Gunvalson's husband, Donn, quickly becomes the lead topic of conversation. But when Tanous brings up how lively Donn was at the bash Gunvalson changes the subject.


"Every time someone would bring up Donn, I'd see Vicki get tighter and cringing," says Barney in a voiceover, as Tanous presses for more and her pal finally cracks.


"The reality is, my world is falling apart," the insurance executive -- who wed Donn in 1994 and filed for divorce in October -- laments. "My marriage is falling apart, my security is falling apart, and I'm miserable within my own mind and my body. I don't know where I belong anymore!"


As the couple's rocky romance crumbles on camera, Gunvalson admitted to Us Weekly in March that she and her estranged spouse were still living under the same roof.


"My love tank has truly been empty for many many years," Gunvalson said. "We stopped communicating. My happiness came from my work and my children," she explained of Michael and Brianna, her grown kids from her first marriage.


"I didn't go to Donn for friendship or companionship, and he didn't with me either," she told Us.

Vicki Gunvalson: Derby Poker Championship

Last night's Derby Poker Championship was a charity event to benefit Blessings in a Backpack. It wasn't uncommon to hear celebrities and pros alike shouting "Re-up! It's all for the kids!"


Among the first to go out were Real Housewives of Orange County's Vicki Gunvalson and Blue Collar Comedy's Ron White. Still going strong toward the latter part of the evening were Coach Denny Crum and Melissa Biggs from Baywatch.


When Phil Helmuth arrived on the red carpet I made sure to ask him whether or not he'd be on good behavior for the night. He said he hadn't decided quite yet. He was an entertaining emcee and frequently interviewed other poker pros and celebrities during the event. He was quick to give Ron White a hard time for going out so early, and even handed off the mic to Robert Williamson III so he could play a hand or two himself.


Everyone was in great spirits and took advantage of the bars on both levels serving Jim Beam and other drinks that helped party-goers get loose on the dance floor.


Surprising celebrity encounter of the evening was an impromptu chat with Ron White at the pizza place next to the Palace, where he told me I had cute boots and I told him I liked his Prada carryall (i.e. purse.) He was quick to respond, "Indiana Jones carried one just like it." He's funny even when he's not getting paid.
