Last night, Tina Fey paid a visit to Brian Williams and his fancy new Rock Center studio to discuss her at-home viewing habits. Fey, fresh off her "like, nine-day" maternity leave, cops to some late-night trash favorites, like Extreme Couponing, but seems conflicted over the Real Housewives franchise. more ›

Ice-T, who's never been described as shy, is in hot water over some poorly timed tweets joking about the recent suicide of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Russell Armstrong. But in true Ice style, he's not backing down just yet. more ›

Hallelujah, God-fearing reality TV addicts! There is now an evangelical version of the Real Housewives that uses stories from the Bible to teach women how to fix their corrupt, sin-loving ways. But alas, Bravo is not heralding its arrival. more ›

Earlier today, we caught wind that Bravo TV might be looking to haul over the entire cast of their longstanding (in the world of reality TV, anyway) Real Housewives of New York series, in the interest of getting "rich, rich women, dripping in glamor and $10 million penthouses," at least according to Page Six. But Househusband Simon "I Am Real" van Kempen isn't so sure. more ›

Before Bravo started implementing Real Housewives in every state from Jersey to Georgia, there was New York City. And while the cast of catty, wealth-obsessed ladies particular to our hometown has shuffled a bit over the past four seasons, there has been one constant: Alex McCord and her husband, Simon van Kempen. Over the years, the Australia-born van Kempen has emerged as a serious scene-stealer, earning himself the nickname "the first Househusband." Recently, he's been the focus of a series of webisodes on BravoTV.com , and last month he released his first single, "I Am Real." We recently caught up with the reality star and overall Brooklyn champion to chat about some of his recent projects and favorite neighborhood spots. more ›

The Real Housewives of New York are returning to a television near you on April 7th, and cast member Countess Luann de Lesseps is making the press rounds (did you see her on Law & Order: SVU?). Recently she delivered some anecdotal gold to the Brick Underground; for the most part she discusses New York City real estate (she'd love to move into Gracie Mansion and give it a fresh coat of paint!), and then... she talks about that time six years ago she was nearly forced to ride the subway with the commoners. Oh what an adventure she had! more ›

Have you heard of Rashidah Ali? Even if you don't know the wannabe reality star's name from shows like Real Housewives of Atlanta and Basketball Wives, you'll now know her from... slicing up bouncers! Ali was celebrating her birthday at Greenhouse on January 26th, when she left bouncer Joseph Wright with severed nerves and arteries, and a gash on his face needing 50 stitches. more ›

According to bankruptcy papers filed in the Newark federal court, Real Housewife of New Jersey Teresa Giudice and her husband owe nearly $11 million to creditors. Here's just a list of some of the stuff their $79,000/year income didn't pay for: more ›

Even if Demi Moore insists her December W cover was au natural, Real Housewives Bethenny Frankel is woman enough to admit her recent PETA photo was airbrushed (though she previously denied it). After all, who wouldn't want some airbrushing on their naked image hanging above Times Square? more ›

Kelly Bensimon, the 40-year old former model, socialite, scribe of some bikini book, and one of the unmarried Real Housewives on the Bravo reality show is giving herself a new title: victim. The NY Post reports that she claimed to be innocent at a pretrial hearing yesterday regarding the beating she allegedly gave her ex-boyfriend Nick Stefanov earlier this month in her SoHo digs. Her lawyer told the paper, "The guy wouldn't leave her apartment. He pushed and shoved her, then he calls the police. You're entitled to push him out of your apartment [if he doesn't voluntarily leave]." Bensimon claims she's received threatening emails from the ex, one saying "I'm going to make your life misery." Meanwhile, Stefanov wants the order of protection extended. If convicted of the misdemeanor third-degree assault charges, Bensimon could face a year behind bars. Maybe she can be cellmates with the other alleged Bravo boyfriend beater Kenley. more ›

Arguably the most hated housewives of the Real Housewives series are returning to the small screen tonight—and now that we're all tightening the pursestrings their livin' large lifestyle will be sure to evoke even more hatred! Housewife Jill Zarin told the Post, "You're gonna see some [expensive] toys come out, unfortunately. We filmed the show before the recession happened." But has the "cougar of conspicuous consumption" changed her ways to fit the economic downturn? She says that these days she's cooking at home with Fresh Direct groceries, has noticed a drop in sales at her Allen Street emporium Zarin's Fabric Warehouse and her and the hubby sold their East Hampton home over a year ago. Plus she told Fox: "What was hard for me was giving up my live-in maid five days a week." It's like one step away from a breadline over there. Meanwhile, the folks over at EW wonder if viewers will tune in or drop out, in an article titled: "Critic to The Real Housewives of New York City: drop dead." more ›
