    'Real Housewives' star Porsha Stewart on Kordell's divorce shocker: I found out on Twitter!

    By Drusilla Moorhouse, TODAY contributor

    Porsha Stewart was "totally blindsided" by her husband's secret divorce filing, the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star told Andy Cohen after the reality show's reunion aired.

    "When I found out about the divorce, it was absolutely a surprise," she said on Sunday night's "Watch What Happens Live," explaining that she took to Twitter after her sister called to ask whether she'd "heard the news."

    "The first thing I see (on Twitter) is 'Kordell divorcing Porsha,'" she revealed. "I thought this is some kind of crazy joke."

    Considering her husband hadn't even moved out, her disbelief is understandable.

    Even more shocking: The former couple still lives together.  And while their mansion measures approximately 12,000 square feet, Porsha calls their cohabitation a "difficult, difficult situation."

    "We're in the same house, but I didn't say we speak," she clarified, adding, "And I didn't say I'm cooking, and it ain't no eggs and bacon and ham hocks no mo'!"

    'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' get fighting mad in finale

    Evans Vestal Ward/Bravo

    Brandi Glanville and Kyle Richards have words during the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" post-finale reunion.

    By Ree Hines, TODAY contributor

    It was a night of she-said/she-said on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," as the season wrapped up with one fight after another.

    "I really don't like getting involved when I see other people arguing," Kyle Richards claimed when she spied Faye Resnick giving Brandi Glanville grief at Lisa Vanderpump's party, "but now I see a potentially volatile situation."

    So why not jump right in? Everyone else did -- and how.

    Despite all of the back and forth, there was one moment of peace on the season-ender. Lisa and her husband, Ken Todd, (with their always-present pup Giggy by their side) renewed their vows in a surprisingly fight-free ceremony.

    "I love you, darling," Ken told her. "And whatever I said 30 years ago still stands. I promise to obey you. Again.”

    Aw! But don't let that sweet stuff fool you. The action didn't end there. No sooner had the season wrapped than the first part of the reunion special aired.

    It should come as no surprise to "Housewives" fans to learn that the fights were far from over. In fact, one feud in particular has continued beyond the reunion -- or more accurately, reunions.

    “Lisa has never let go of the fact that I didn’t defend her on the reunion last year,” Kyle told In Touch, referring to Lisa's past blowout with Adrienne Maloof. “I’m still being punished one year later for not jumping in.”

    According to Kyle, she and Lisa haven't spoken since this season's reunion was taped.

    See where the hubbub kicks of next week, when part two of the reunion special airs Monday at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

    Adrienne Maloof confirms she's leaving 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'

    Getty Images file

    By Ree Hines, TODAY contributor

    It looks like fans may have a hard time recognizing "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" when the show returns for a fourth season -- and that's not because of any new nips and tucks for members of the cast. The real reason is that some of the familiar faces just won't be there at all.

    Camille Grammer recently revealed that her stint on the show was coming to an end, and now, hot on her heels, fellow "Housewife" Adrienne Maloof has confirmed that she's leaving too.

    "To my loyal fans... It was time to exit RHOBH," Maloof wrote in a post on her website Monday. "The show served as a wonderful platform for all the amazing projects that I have in the works. I am forever grateful to my fans, thank you for your support, and stay tuned! xoxoA"

    Season three of the reality TV hit saw big changes for Maloof. She went through rough times, including her divorce from husband Paul Nassif, numerous tiffs with the other ladies from Beverly Hills and one big blowup with Brandi Glanville.

    According to both E! News and Us Weekly, Maloof did not attend the March 1 taping of the season three reunion special.

    "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

    Yolanda Foster: 'Beverly Hills' housewife Brandi Glanville should 'just zip it'

    By Randee Dawn, TODAY contributor

    She may be the newest member of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," but that won't keep Yolanda Foster down -- she filmed the show while also battling Lyme disease, and on her first day out of the house, dropped by TODAY to chat with Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford.

    "While I was shooting the show I was really, really sick," she explained, sitting next to her Real Husband of Beverly Hills, Grammy-winning songwriter-producer David Foster. "As I watch myself (on the show) I'm like, 'Ok, girl, get to the point!' Because I had such tremendous brain fog."


    Follow @TODAY_Clicker

    Still, in her role as the show's "voice of reason," she had to deal with the mysterious brain workings of her fellow castmates, most of whom seemed to always have a problem with someone. Take Brandi Glanville's repeated comments about LeAnn Rimes, who is now married to Brandi's ex, Eddie Cibrian. "I think that Brandi would be a lot more powerful if she would just zip it and just walk her walk," said Yolanda. "(But) people tune in because they love to see that (sort of behavior)."

    Despite the drama, David said he could never have told his wife they couldn't make the show, as she's using it as a platform to launch herself and her ideas. "Yolanda has a purpose, she has a goal ... it's a great way to get your name out there," he said. "Could you imagine (me) saying, 'No, you can't'?"

    The pair have been together "7 years almost," said Yolanda, and here's one of the goals she wants to reach: "My goal is I want to piss off all of his ex-wives, because I want to be married to him longer than any of them," she grinned.

    "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

    Kim and Kyle Richards talk tears, bruises from 'Stars In Danger: The High Dive'

    By Sean Daly, TODAY contributor

    Jordin Althaus / FOX

    Kim (l) and Kyle (r) Richards play in the pool while they train for "Danger."

    Kim Richards admits the only thing more terrifying than competing on “Stars In Danger: The High Dive” was slipping into a swimsuit in the middle of winter.

    “This year, the bathing suit was not my thing,” the newly rehabbed Beverly Hills "Housewife" said. “I have always been comfortable in a bathing suit -- until this year.   Then when I went to treatment (for alcohol addiction), I gained like 40 pounds.”

    Reality star Kim and sister/frenemy Kyle hit the pool along with "Baywatch" alums David Chokachi and Alexandra Paul, Jenni "JWoww" Farley from “Jersey Shore”, NFL star Terrell Owens,  actor Antonio Sabato Jr. and “soul surfer” Bethany Hamilton for the two-hour Fox special.

    The not-quite-ready for prime-time divers were mentored by seasoned pros as they prepared to compete in individual and synchronized events.

    “This is one of the biggest challenges I have ever been faced with,” Kim said, “other than, well... (rehab).”

    The Clicker caught up with both sisters Tuesday in Los Angeles to learn more about their dramatic aquatic experience.

    Q:  You both appear to be in one piece. Any injuries?

    Kim:  I had big bruises all over my leg.

    Kyle:  David had a black eye -- and not from the diving board.  This is all water impact.  There was one concussion.  And (the producers) are like “you’ll be fine.”  Every one of the cast members -- at least the women -- were crying at some point.  

    Kim: I don’t think I would have gotten through without any scrapes or bruises.

    Kyle:  I was bruised mentally.

    Q:  Did you guys have sister squabbles in the pool?

    Kyle:  No, this was so much better (than ‘Housewives.’).  There was no drama.  We were supporting each other.  Really happy to be there for each other.  We were laughing with each other, teasing each other.  

    Kim:  We cried so hard and we laughed so hard.  It was really an emotional challenge.

    Q:  So you had no diving experience at all?

    Kyle:  Nine of us come together and we start from scratch.  Day one was just trying to get up to the diving board!  Each day, you are hoping to make progress.  We were cramming what these Olympians took years to learn into a little tiny window.

    Q:  What did your friends and family think?

    Kyle:  My friend said to me “You couldn’t just do Dancing with the Stars?”

    Q:  One of your competitors, Bethany Hamilton, only has one arm.  Did you ever think, “I have to at least be able to beat her?”


    Twitter Follow The Clicker on Twitter

    Kyle:  Let me tell you something.  She is one of the most brave and inspirational girls I have ever met in my entire life.  When I was so scared to get on the diving board, because I am afraid of heights, they would say to me ‘Look at Bethany.  Look at her go.’  The woman was attacked by a shark and was swimming three weeks later.  She is one of the most brave people I have ever met in my life.  She is an incredible athlete.  Put my sister up there.  We are cut from the same cloth.  If she can do it, we can talk.

    Q:  Are these the types of opportunities that are coming to you now?  Are you up for anything?

    Kim:  I am sure we will be getting a lot of these type of challenges.  

    Q:  Where do you hope the "Housewives" shows take you next.

    Kyle:  We both have kids.  I have little ones still.  Being a mom and a wife is my number one priority.  The show and all that other stuff falls way underneath it. I also just opened my store (Kyle by Alene Too) in Beverly Hills. I am still acting.  I just did 'CSI.'  There are a lot of balls in the air.  A lot of good opportunities have come with doing ‘Housewives.’  But there is also a lot of drawbacks.

    Q:  You are going to keep doing it a little while longer?

    Kyle:  Don’t ask me today.  We are under contract, so we’ll see where that goes.

    Kim:  I just take it on a day to day, minute by minute.   My biggest passion in my life -- besides life -- is my jewelry.  I love my jewelry.  My passion is my jewelry.  I might have a few other things up my sleeve -- more like hobby passions.

    Q:  Kim, did it take you a while to be at peace with how much of your personal life was exposed on ‘Housewives?’ 

    Kim:   It was really how much I wanted to let go of my own life to everyone.  I am a very private person, but I am also a public person. So it is how much I decided to just surrender to everyone.  I think it was really just a matter or when I decided to give it all up and say 'It is what it is.'  I wear my heart on my sleeve.  And you know what?  Since I decided to give my sobriety up and go down season two, out there, and let everybody see that and going into treatment. ... When I decided to come back and do my entire sobriety this season, I decided, I might as well just let everybody have it all.  I have really nothing to hide.  There is nothing really bad in my life.  And everybody has been so supportive.

    Q:  Is “Skydiving with the Stars” next?

    Kim:  Nothing with heights.

    Kyle:  Nothing could persuade me to try skydiving.

    "Stars In Danger: The High Dive" airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. on FOX.

    Bethenny Frankel, husband to separate

    By Reuters

    Reality TV star Bethenny Frankel and her husband Jason Hoppy are separating, Frankel announced on Sunday. 

    "It brings me great sadness to say that Jason and I are separating. This was an extremely difficult decision that, as a woman and a mother, I have to accept as the best choice for our family," Frankel said in a statement confirmed by her representative.

    "We have love and respect for one another and will continue to amicably co-parent our daughter who is and will always remain our first priority. This is an immensely painful and heartbreaking time for us."

    Frankel, 42, and Hoppy married in March of 2010. They have a daughter, Bryn, who was born in May of 2010.

    On Sunday, Frankel tweeted, "I am heartbroken. I am sad. We will work through this as a family."

    Frankel first attracted attention in 2008 on the reality show "The Real Housewives of New York City," which chronicles the exploits of wealthy New York women. She went on to star in two other reality TV shows, "Bethenny Getting Married?" and "Bethenny Ever After...," both of which centered on the couple's marriage and child-rearing.

    Frankel also founded the Skinnygirl line of cocktails, and has written several diet and self-help books. In 2012 she launched a talk show, "Bethenny," which is set to air nationally in 2013.

    Brandi Glanville walks out on 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'

    Bravo

    Brandi Glanville on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

    By Anna Chan, TODAY

    Fans of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" are going to be treated to yet another dinner party from hell on Monday night. In a clip from the new episode that Bravo is sharing exclusively with The Clicker, Kyle Richards' friend Faye Resnick and Brandi Glanville get into a tiff over Brandi's (censored) revelation about fellow "Housewife" Adrienne Maloof on the Dec. 10 episode.

    When Faye insists during a gathering at Kyle's house that Brandi isn't sorry about the situation with Adrienne because she won't send flowers as an apology, Brandi calmly -- surprisingly -- defends herself.

    "I'm sorry, but it's not your business -- excuse me, but it's not," she tells Faye, trying to put an end to the discussion.

    But when Kyle's friend Marisa steps up to defend Brandi, Faye -- who also participated in the infamous dinner party fight at Camille Grammer's home in season one -- lets loose by dredging up old dirt and accusing the model of "viciously" attacking people.

    Rather than stay and fight, Brandi walks out of the dinner party.

    Watch our exclusive clip:

    Brandi herself has admitted that she didn't handle the situation with Adrienne very well. "Watched Mondays episode,I kind of come off as an (expletive) but PLEASE read my blog so u understand why!I dont fully get2 explain myself on ep!" she tweeted. She went  on to confess in her blog that she "said something (she) shouldn't have said."


    Twitter Follow The Clicker on Twitter

    Twitter Follow Anna Chan on Twitter

    But not everyone is totally Team Adrienne. New "Housewife" Yolanda Foster wrote in her latest Bravo blog that "Brandi said things in the heat of the moment that were very hurtful and wrong, but instead of the appropriate apologies being accepted by Adrienne and moving forward, these issues were taken to a whole new level. Adrienne chooses a intimidating and hostile way of communication, one that I have never experienced or witnessed in my life and to be honest --- way out of my comfort zone."

    "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" airs at 9 p.m. Monday on Bravo.

    Joanna Krupa gets punched in the face on 'Real Housewives of Miami'

    Bravo

    Things take a violent turn on "The Real Housewives of Miami."

    By Ree Hines, TODAY contributor

    It's a fight that's been buzzed about since before the latest season of "The Real Housewives of Miami" kicked off. On Sunday night, viewers finally had a chance to see what all of the hubbub was about and just how far it went when things suddenly took a violent turn between former BFFs Joanna Krupa and Adriana De Moura.

    In an episode titled "Bras and Brawls, Part II," Lisa Hochstein's lingerie party raged on. And while the event was meant to be all about charity, there was little charity between the women of South Florida when the soiree shifted focus to an article in which Karent Sierra dished about her fellow housewives. Adriana wasn't happy about it, and didn't hide it. Joanna reminded her that just because it's in print, that doesn't mean it's true. And somehow that -- plus a hefty dose of lingering drama from "Girls Gone Wild" honcho Joe Francis -- was all it took to launch an attack.

    "When I disengaged and I left the argument, (Joanna) chased after me down the hallway," Adriana recalled. "I just feel a hand that goes and grabs me. From that moment on, I just see red and next thing I know, hell breaks loose."

    Or more accurately, Adriana broke loose, as she suddenly whipped around and punched Joanna.

    "You do not disrespect me like that," Joanna said to the camera after the confrontation. "Everything happened so fast, that the only thing I do remember was thinking, 'Oh my God, I see the devil. For the first time in my life, I see the devil.' And what did the devil do? Turned around and punched me."

    Of course, that's not exactly how an onlooker would characterize the exchange.

    "I didn't see who threw the first punch, but they were behaving like savage beasts," Lisa said. "There was nails and hair flying around and there was a broom -- I don't know how the broom got involved."

    'Real Housewives of New Jersey' reunion shocker: Joe Gorga was the stripper

    By Lia Haberman, E! Online

    Bravo

    Joe Gorga.

    It was an entire season of mudslinging, but somehow Sunday night's big reveal was still a shocker. It was Joe Gorga, not Melissa, who worked as a stripper. According to the now happily married family man, he was a Chippendales dancer in college. Boom.

    Joe claimed that for a year he made $1,000 a night for shaking his groove thang in a tiny thong. Of course, it explains a lot: the sequined costumes, the abundant lap dances, the excessive nudity and the pet name for his ... Magic Mike, meet Tarzan.

    But do not, whatever you do, suggest that any of the women may have worked a pole or risk a screaming, cursing, spitting rage. Melissa, Joe Gorga, Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita all exploded Sunday night over the accusations.

    The five things we learned from last week's episode

    "We're talking about strippers like we're talking about serial killers," joked Chris Laurita. That's right, dude, and tread carefully. After Joe Giudice hinted that Chris met Jacqueline while she was a dancer in Vegas, she flipped. "You piece of low life (expletive). I hope you go to jail."

    The thing is, Joe spending 10 years in jail didn't seem to inspire any of the same Defcon One level of emotions. When questioned about his DMV court case that could send him "away," Juicy Joe shrugged and replied, "My lawyer says you could indict a ham sandwich, so it doesn't make a difference, whatever happens happens." Takeaway: Being labeled a former erotic dancer is very, very bad. Sitting in a jail cell for 3,652 days ... meh.

    Teresa's sticking point seemed to be her family discussing Joe's case on national TV (as opposed to her interviews about the subject in In Touch magazine). "Andy, am I talking Chinese? I asked my family not to bring it up on the show," she snapped when the Bravo host seemed as confused as everyone about the distinction between revealing the details in print versus the small screen.

    'RHONJ' reunion's top five facial expressions

    Of course, it wouldn't be a "Jersey" season finale without the executive producer getting a little roughed up--he was forced to restrain Tre when she lunged at Jacqueline during an argument with her brother and later quipped he lost his hearing after Teresa complained the reunion special led to her losing her voice.

    But it wasn't quite the weave-pulling days of old. When Kim D. came out to set the record straight on the Posche fashion show set up (Teresa did know Melissa was going to be a target) she got an apology from Joe Gorga and some straight-shooting friendly banter from Caroline Manzo. Not exactly the faceoff we expected with the scheming store owner who admitted to masterminding Operation Embarrass Melissa after the singer endorsed a rival boutique.


    Follow @TODAY_Clicker

    Still, it wasn't a happy ending for the show that promoted family being as thick as thieves. Caroline and Chris Laurita haven't reconnected with their sister Dina. Joe Gorga and Teresa haven't been in touch since the season wrapped and he claims she's turned his parents against him. "You took my parents away from me. My kids don't have grandparents," he raged. And Melissa vowed never to forgive Teresa after tonight's show.

    Re-watch the five most memorable moments from season four

    "It's all a bunch of bull----," opined Chris in the most down-to-earth moment of the reunion special. "We're sitting here fighting about stuff that is ridiculous. What's happened to us with our son, it really makes you realize what's important. This (expletive) is not important."

    Miami Beach police said they were trying to locate the son of "The Real Housewives of Miami" personality Alexia Echevarria to talk to him in connection with an assault on a homeless man.

    A video posted on YouTube shows a man walking up to a sleeping man and hitting him in the genitals and then running away.

    Based on the video and information from the victim, 62-year-old Gary Lee Brown, there is enough probable cause to arrest Peter Rosello, said Miami Beach police spokesman Bobby Hernandez. (The video showing the alleged assault is available on YouTube.)

    Echevarria confirmed to NBC 6 that it was her son in the video.

    "If you know Peter, you know he's not an aggressive person, especially not with the homeless," Echevarria said. "He wasn't himself ... It's not what he is, and it's unfortunate."

    Echevarria also added: "Peter has been extremely affected by his brother's car accident."

    Authorities want to locate and speak to Rosello.

    'He's a suspect," Hernandez said. "We have enough from the victim to pursue this criminally."

    Teresa Giudice talks her way to trouble on 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' reunion

    Bravo

    Teresa Giudice.

    By Lia Haberman, E! Online

    We laughed, we cried, we cringed. A lot. While this season of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" might have lagged in places, the reunion recap didn't hold back. Jacqueline Laurita and Teresa Giudice were going at each other hard before the first commercial break and it just escalated from there.

    But it wasn't just about French manicured finger pointing. Bravo aired the sweetest montage of Jacqueline and her autistic son Nicholas that had everyone tearing by the end. He's just 3, but has regressed to the point that he can't tell Jacqueline he loves her anymore. Gulp.

    If she was smart, Tre should have thrown up her hands in defeat and kept her mouth shut for the rest of the show. Who isn't going to be on Team Jacqueline when the poor woman is dealing with issues far more important than a sister-in-law who wears the same glitter eyeshadow?

    Instead, Teresa blurted out how li'l Audriana and Nicholas used to be girlfriend and boyfriend, but they'd broken up. Bad move. But it did prompt one of the best lines of the night from Caroline Manzo: "Listen, you and your (expletive) Christmas pageant dress, sit back and shut the (expletive) up, we're talking about this kid."

    Teresa just doesn't know when to get her digs in.

    Read last week's recap

    She revealed Caroline had a tummy tuck, then mocked her "blubber" and need for Botox just after daughter Lauren Manzo's shared her weight struggles and bemoaned the people on Twitter who tell her she's "fat and disgusting."

    And Tre got served again. "You realize that what you're saying to her right now is the reason that people out there kill themselves because of (expletive) like you," accused Lauren. Seriously Teresa, it's all about timing.

    It's no surprise Teresa hasn't seen any of the women except Melissa Gorga since last season, (and apparently even that encounter at Gia's birthday went badly). Jacqueline also revealed how it wasn't just the Porsche fashion show that ruined their friendship. According to her, she overheard Teresa reneging on their Napa Valley reunion, telling Melissa that same night, "I hate Jacqueline, I can't look at her effing face..."

    So what else did viewers learn Sunday night?

    Caroline isn't menopausal, she's just a self-diagnosed b----.

    Kathy Wakile had her nose and lips done and looked fabulous. Jacqueline's also had her lips done and filler on her cheekbones. In fact, all the women looked good, especially J.Lo look-alike Melissa -- even with her disputed glitter eyes.

    Lauren, who's 35 pounds lighter, claimed Teresa doesn't write her own blog posts for Bravo's website, which seemed largely based on T.'s inability to spell or define "napalm."

    Teresa's convinced that Juicy Joe would score more digits than Richie Wakile. (Famous last words.)

    And Kathy may or may not have almost gotten divorced.

    And that's just part one of a three-episode reunion.

    Jersey 'Housewife' Melissa Gorga: Teresa Giudice 'roughed me up' while I held baby

    The Wendy Williams Show

    Melissa Gorga.

    By Ree Hines, TODAY contributor

    If you thought things were headed in a bad direction for Melissa Gorga and her frequently feuding sister-in-law Teresa Giudice on the season finale of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," well, that was just the start of it.

    Sure, Melissa concluded that Teresa set her up with all the talk about Melissa's alleged stripper past -- thus ending their brief peace -- but things took an even uglier turn when the cameras were rolling.

    During a visit to "The Wendy Williams Show," Melissa recalled a birthday party she attended for Teresa's daughter, Gia. And while things started out fine at the bash, they didn't stay that way.

    "I went with a smile on my face," Melissa said. "I was letting it go. My daughter had a beautiful time with the girls and my sons had a good time."

    But according to Melissa, Teresa wasn't so welcoming, even though she sent out the invitation.

    "I don't think she was happy that I came," Melissa explained. "I think she was looking for a press opportunity to say that I wasn't going to come. And at the very end, she -- you know -- roughed me up a little bit and got in my face."

    In fact, Melissa said it was actually worse than that. The alleged roughing-up happened while Melissa held her son.

    "I had baby Joey in my arms, and she took my arm and twisted it," she claimed.

    As for how she feels about Teresa now, between that incident and the stripper rumors (which Melissa denies), the reality star isn't quite ready to forgive and forget.

    Watch on YouTube

    "I can't say that I fully have forgiven her yet," she said. "I still have issues with it and I can't get past it. … I can't look at her in the eyes yet. … The reunion -- you will see that. It was crazy and very hard."

    Part one of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" reunion special airs Sunday at 10 p.m. on Bravo.
