Warrant Issued For Arrest Of Gretchen Rossi

A bench warrant for the arrest of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Gretchen Rossi was ordered by a judge, Radar Online reveals.

Rossi has been locked in a legal battle with someone who claims they had a relationship and when she didn't make her court appearance on Thursday (due to a promotional appearance in Las Vegas), a judge issued the warrant for her arrest with bail set at $2,500.

Since then the warrant has been continued on until September 15, meaning if she appears in court by then, she will not be arrested.

Real Housewives of Orange County Season 7!

It's that time again! The franchise that started it all, "Real Housewives of Orange County," is ready to start filming!

She tweeted, "It's "Go Time" for season 7. Tamra and I are now locked in. Hoping to have our best season yet! Pray for us..... Woo hoo'"

No word on Gretchen Rossi, Alexis Bellino, or Peggy Tanous. But, just for the record, if Peggy doesn't return, I may die.

So who do you guys want to see back? Do you think they should add another housewife? Or keep the cast the same?

Tamra Barney: I Don't Care What Slade Says

Yesterday, Slade Smiley spoke with E! regarding Tamra Barney's constant claims that he is a deadbeat dad saying, "she doesn't have much credibility" and "I am still very confused as to why Tamra thinks any of this is her business, and we find it very creepy she would reach out and have a conversation with someone she has never met (his ex, Michelle)." 

Naturally, Tamra Barney is firing back and expaining her relatinoship with Slade's ex, Michelle Aroyo, and of course, adding a few sprinkles of insults to the top!

"We became friends through a mutual friend," Barney told E!'s Marc Malkin. "I feel extremely sorry for her and my heart breaks for her and Grayson. Michelle is a very strong woman and went out of her way to contact me today to tell me that she was proud of me for standing up for her and Grayson and to keep my head up."

But Tamra isn't letting him get her down, "While he accused me of many false and bold lies throughout the entire season, I am not crying to the press about them because his allegations are false. The bottom line is that I don't care what Slade has to say about me. Like Gretchen, he thrives on lies and manipulation."

Watch the Top 3 Brawls From the RHOC Reunion

The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion was just so drama filled that one hour just wasn't enough, so they aired two separate specials, the second of which was last night.

From Tamra Barney storming off set after being verbally attacked by Gretchen and Slade to Gretchen's standoff with Vicki over the late Jeff Beitzel, check out the moments that made for must-see TV above!

Slade Thinks Tamra "Has Gone Way Too Far"

On the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion part 2, Slade Smiley once again found himself having to defend himself to Tamra Barney and trying to prove, once again, that he is not a deadbeat dad. He spoke to E! News about his thoughts on the whole thing.

"I can let everything Tamra says roll off my back for the most part because she doesn't have much credibility," Smiley said. "However, when it comes to making an accusation about me and the support of my sick son in a global manner, I think that is beyond reprehensible and she has gone way too far."

During the reunion, Tamra even got Slade's ex on the phone! "I am still very confused as to why Tamra thinks any of this is her business, and we find it very creepy she would reach out and have a conversation with someone she has never met," Slade says.

Gretchen Rossi Dishes On Season 6 Reunion

Gretchen Rossi recently spoke with In Touch Magazine about what fans can expect out of the Real Housewives of Orange County season 6 two-part reunion.

“I didn’t even know I had it in me to fight like it did. It was pretty intense. You think New Jersey was crazy, you should see us at our reunion.”

Regarding her ongoing feud with Tamra Barney she said, “Tamara said some really harsh things about Slade this season and I wanted to address some of those issues. You really see the claws come out.”

See the OC Housewives battle it out on the Reunion Special beginning this Sunday night at 9:00PM on Bravo. Part two airs on Monday and a Lost Footage Special airs on June 20th.

Tamra Barney Fights Back Against Gretchen

Yesterday, I posted an interview that Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi did with E! News regarding the OC finale which took place last Sunday night. Today, Tamra Barney got wind of it and sent an email to Marc Malkin with her response.

"Gretchen's constantly bashing me in interviews is nothing more than a clever diversion, created so the attention is not on the three lawsuits in which she is currently involved and the problems with her [boyfriend Slade Smiley's] past-due child support," Barney wrote in the email. "She has NO knowledge of the issues I had with Jeana [Keough], yet she constantly finds reasons to talk about me in interviews, on the show and on her Bravo blogs."

"She is nothing more than obsessed with me," she wrote. "You would think with all her legal problems, she would use her time more wisely. I truly feel sorry for her and hope that she lets go of the anger she has in her heart as I did for Jeana Keough."

For more drama, be sure to tune in to the Real Housewives of Orange County two-part reunion special beginning this Sunday, June 12, at 10:00PM!

Gretchen Rossi Wins Partial Legal Victory

Gretchen Rossi has won a partial legal victory in her ongoing legal battle with Jay Photoglou, Radar Online is exclusively reporting.

The former couple is suing each other for libel, defamation and slander, and Rossi had also requested a protective order, most of which was granted on Friday.

According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, the protective order prohibits Rossi or Photoglou from discussing the "sexual history of either party, either party's financial information,” plus home and cellular telephone numbers and home addresses.

Photoglou's attorney, Bryan Freedman tells Radar Online, "We were not surprised by this ruling although we feel Rossi's sexual history with Photoglou should not be subject to the protective order since she has openly told numerous third parties that the two never had sexual relations and never dated.”

The O.C. hotty wanted the judge to impose sanctions on Photoglou for having to seek the protective order, which the court denied.

“Our next move is to take Rossi's deposition within the next few weeks,” Freedman tells us.

Andy Cohen: RHOC Reunion Is 'Explosive'

The Real Housewives of Orange County finale was filled with pushing and drink-throwing and Andy Cohen says it only gets worse (or better depending how you look at it).

"Tamra was really pissed and it had gone on and on," Cohen told TVGuide.com at Monday night's Made in New York Awards. "You'll see at the reunion she was still upset and Jeana [Keough] is there too. It's a two-part reunion and it's quite explosive."

While the latter part of Sunday's episode featured the feud between former housewife Jeana and current cast member Tamra, a portion focused on Vicki filing for divorce from husband Donn. The Real Housewives of New York City's Jill Zarin says it's been hard for Vicki to watch her marriage fall apart on television.

"I spoke to Vicki today," Zarin said. "[She's feeling] pretty down. Donn's still living in the house, they're trying to settle their financial situation so it's difficult — it's been a rough time for her."

Gretchen Rossi Slams 'Malicious' Tamra Barney

While there wasn't any table-flipping, things definitely got down and dirty on Sunday's season finale of Real Housewives of Orange County when Tamra Barney threw a glass of red wine (and a cease-and-desist letter) in frenemy Jeana Keough's face for badmouthing Tamra in the press.

And while Keough may have seemed like the bad guy for trash-talking Tamra's divorce to estranged ex Simon Barney, it's Tamra who is being blasted by fellow castmate Gretchen Rossi...

"It's very strange how the woman conducts her life," Rossi told us yesterday while promoting health supplement Thermogenic Push. "Tamra threw the letter in her face. Tamra threw the drink in her face but yet, two episodes earlier Tamra was crying to Jeana saying, 'You want my kids to think it's OK to throw something at somebody just because you're mad at them?' And I'm thinking to myself, 'How hypocritical is that?'

"You don't go to a party armed with a cease-and-desist letter," she continued. "To me, that's overly dramatic. That's looking for attention. That's looking for camera time. And to throw it in somebody's face when you're an adult like that just shows your level of class and immaturity..."

Meow! Doesn't sound like Rossi and Barney will be making up for their rocky relationship any time soon.

"Tamra is not somebody that I chose to have in my life," Rossi said. "She's negative energy for me in my life. I unfortunately, have realized that she's a malicious person with evil intentions and it's just not something that I want in my life."

My Personal Thoughts On The OC Finale

Last night's episode of Real Housewives of Orange County was filled with some real drama. Alexis vs Peggy, Tamra vs Jeana, and even a little of Gretchen vs Tamra - for old times sake.

Now don't get me wrong - I love a little drama - but what happened to all of the genuine friendships? Sure, Tamra and Vicki have made up since the backstabbing of last season on Tamra's part, but is anything really "real" in Orange County any more?

One thing that seems to be is the new housewife, Peggy Tanous. She really kept me sane throughout this season. Everything I was shouting at the TV, she was saying! She's got a great personality and a hot husband. Alexis seemed out to get her from day one, but she stood her ground and rolled with the punches. Seeing her live on WWHL was great - she's really funny and I LOVE the way she handles her former friend, Alexis Bellino.

I really liked Alexis last season but this season I'm just not falling for her religious crap. I grew up in a Christian family and the attire she leaves home in was never acceptable. And getting wasted in Texas? Then, one week she says she dealt with an eating disorder and the next week she put on a skimpy oufit and said "no food is going in this body.." That sure isn't sending a great message. Last night, she called WWHL to steal the spotlight from Peggy (obviously) and ended up making a total ass out of herself on live TV so that was a highlight for me.

Oh and Tamra, what can I say? She was always a favorite of mine but I feel like the whole Jeana Keough situation was heightened for the cameras. The classy way would have been to call her and tell her to stay out of it, when she didn't serve her privately with papers, not at a friend's party - especially when that friend already has all sorts of issues she's dealing with. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt though, she just got divorced, has a new boyfriend, she must be in a transitional phase and is probably trying to figure out who she really is.

I have never been a Gretchen fan - at least not of her personality. And when I came across those disgraceful pictures of her on the internet that sealed the deal. Last night when Tamra was dealing with her issues, Gretchen had to make it about her and "this is what you did to me.. now you know how I feel.." I'm surprised she didn't get a drink thrown in HER face! But she's a great business woman so I respect her in that sense.

Last but not least, Vicki - she has stayed Vicki through all six seasons. Sure, maybe she works a little much, but she's a working woman and everybody's priorities are different. Hopefully one day she'll have it all!

Real Housewives of OC Reunion Gets Nasty

"I don't think the way this went down was treated with class or dignity," says Donn, Vicki Gunvalson's estranged husband, of the reunion show for Real Housewives of Orange County's sixth season.

Between the screaming, the tears and the eye-rolling, there's going to be plenty of insults and accusations – all of which can be seen in a just-released, minute-long trailer for the upcoming episodes.

Tamra Barney, whose troubles with her ex and a new romance have been documented on the show, seems to be at the center of the storm.

"You were sleeping with another guy while your fiancé was dying," she says to Gretchen Rossi, who was engaged to the late Jeff Beitzel.

At one point in a clip of the show, which will air starting June 12 (9 p.m. ET) on Bravo, Tamra shrieks, "Is your ass jealous of the s–– that comes out of your mouth?"

She also accuses Jeana Keough of lying and gets into an argument with Gretchen's boyfriend, Slade Smiley, who accuses her of ... uh, promiscuous behavior.

"You're the lowest form of s–– in the world," Tamra says as she storms off the set.
