Countess LuAnn On Press, Overzealous Suitors

When it comes to etiquette, manners and overall good behavior, even celebrities need help navigating the rough waters of stardom! It’s a good thing Countess LuAnn de Lesseps of the Real Housewives of New York is joining forces with OK! to school them on the right thing to do! In a rough situation, we just ask, “What Would the Countess Do?” This week the Countess counsels tween role models taking on adulthood and handling jabs from the media gracefully.


Justin Bieber was recently videotaped lashing out at a paparazzo for getting close, and Miley Cyrus also lectured a photographer for running into her mom. How do you deal with the press when it becomes that intrusive?
Paparazzi can be downright pushy and Justin and Miley have every right to express their displeasure when photographers get too close. I’m sure the paparazzi involved were just trying to do their jobs; however there is a difference between doing your job and being too aggressive. I always appreciate when paparazzi ask to take my photo first and respect my answer. The hard part of being a celebrity is being gracious even when paparazzi are over-zealous.
Tip: When the paparazzi stop hounding you, it’s time to worry!


Some of your fellow Real Housewives were reportedly slipped Rohypnol at an NYC bar. What are some tips from preventing all kinds of unwanted advances on a night out, from the extreme of being drugged to just turning down overzealous suitors?
It is always best to go out with another person or a group of friends if you want to avoid being approached by strange men. Never sit at a bar alone or accept a drink from someone you do not know. My fellow Real Housewives escaped unharmed from their Rohypnol experience but it could have turned out much worse. Just say “no thank you” and go back to having fun with your friends. Signal to a bouncer if your potential suitor doesn’t get the hint that you are not interested in his advances.
Tip: Don’t accept candy (or drinks) from strangers!

Tamra Barney Saw The Man Who Drugged Her!

Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney isn't taking her alleged "roofie" incident lying down. In fact, she tells Radar Online exclusively that her legal team is looking for any evidence that could answer a few questions about the now fuzzy night over the weekend that almost landed her and a co-star in the hospital.


"My attorney is calling to see if there is a surveillance video," Tamra tells Radar Online exclusively. "It's New York City -- there were hundreds of people in the room that night.


"Lots of photos were taken that night of us at our table. Maybe someone has a picture of this guy?" she asks. "It was strange that he was wearing sunglasses."


Tamra first broke news of the alleged drugging incident with Andy Cohen on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live! last Sunday, claiming: "I got roofied," referring to the date rape drug Rohypnol.


Newcomer to the hit Bravo show, Peggy Tanous, was also allegedly drugged.


Despite her cloudy state of mind after drinking the glass of alcohol she believes was drugged, Tamra is certain about a few details.


"I know the guy that did it walked up with two drinks that were pink. He had sunglasses on and looked Middle Eastern. That's all I remember," she said. "He asked us if we would go to a club with him and we said no over and over again."


After refusing his advances and invitation, all the ladies returned to their hotel around 11 p.m. when things started getting blurry-literally.


"At first our friends thought the wine was really getting to our head. So they got us in a cab took us to the hotel. We walked into the hotel bathroom and got very sick and passed out on the floor of the hotel lobby bathroom," she remembered. "It had been about 30 minutes from the time we drank the drink until we were out.


A shaken Tamra blacked out until the next morning, and by then she said there was no time to go to the hospital.


"I woke up in my room at 5 a.m. not knowing how I got there. I was extremely dizzy and couldn't get out of bed. The room was spinning in a way I had never felt. It's like everything was in slow motion.


"It took about three days to feel normal again."

Ramona Singer Opens Up About 'Roofie' Incident

The Real Housewives of Orange County got an unwelcome dose of reality the other night after an unidentified man at a bar allegedly “roofied” a couple of the leading ladies, enticing Ramona Singer to urge fans: “Never take a drink from a stranger”, she tells Radar Online exclusively.


News of the incident surfaced when Tamra Barney chatted with Andy Cohen on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live! last Sunday, claiming: "I got roofied,” referring to the date rape drug Rohypnol.


The reality stars from west and east coasts, including Orange County’s Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra, and newbie Peggy Tanous, met up with Ramona at a bar in New York City a few days ago.


“So many fans came over and said ‘we love you guys,’” recalled Ramona.


And right before they called it a night, a middle-aged gentleman came over with drinks in hand.


“He sat next to Tamra and Peggy and said, ‘I have a special drink for you two ladies.’ Obviously he was watching them and decided to buy them drinks.


“Tamra drank only part of her drink, but Peggy drank all of it, poor thing.


“We all left as they finished their drinks and they got back to their hotel 20 minutes later and felt the effects,“ Ramona added.


Vicki was able to take care of the women in their affected state.


“Thankfully, Vicki was there because they almost had to go to the hospital.


“I think it’s a lesson for everyone to learn -- Never take a drink from a stranger,” Ramona said adamantly.


She added that the ladies aren’t pursuing this further, considering they don’t even know the man’s name.


“Thank god it wasn’t more serious.”

Tamra Barney & Peggy Tanous Roofied By Fans

We're not sure if "fan" is the right word in this case -- Tamra Barney, one of the newly single stars of the Real Housewives of Orange County, revealed on a post-premiere chat with Andy Cohen that at a recent event, she and fellow housewife Peggy Tanous were drugged by a fan.


Barney explained that the housewives were at a party when a fan offered them drinks. She says that shortly after taking a few sips, both she and Tanous realized they'd been drugged. The drinks were laced with rohypnol, a common date-rape drug.


According to Barney, both women were affected by the substance, but Tanous more severely so -- she was looked at by a doctor and nearly had to be hospitalized.


Cohen, ever the gentlemen, had the following response: "Oh, do you have any of that stuff for me? Just kidding."
