Tamra Barney and Eddie Judge are married!! Congrats to them. And hey, if it’s your third wedding, why NOT have three bridal gowns?? I say go BIG or go HOME, but what did Tamra’s family say, and which former Housewife made a surprise appearance on the finale episode of Tamra's OC Wedding? 

Meanwhile on The Real Housewives of Miami, I saw so much back story, it almost distracted me from the actual episode! Mama drama, the biggest HIVES I’ve ever seen, and where I call producer meddling ...

The Tamra Barney Judge wedding spinoff is over! I loved seeing the gorgeous ceremony come together, but of course I’m always looking for what you DON’T see behind-the-scenes, noticing placement of cast members, camera setups, and of course promotional consideration -- how much did they pay for all of this?

If you were Tamra and Eddie, wouldn’t you be a little tempted to swing that cake? I know I would ...

Things are so hot in Miami, if I were a producer, I’d wear a HAZ-MAT suit. Most of us love Twitter and Facebook, but how has social media changed the Housewives? This week, we discuss how the fans get involved and can actually drive storylines. We had ladies who worry about whether their children will get dragged into the drama -- I give you my take as to whether Adriana de Moura did a good job with her son or made things worse.

And finally, it wouldn’t be The Real Deal without going deep into the feud between Adriana and Lea Black. Adriana thinks she has a smoking gun, but does she really? Here’s that People Magazine article, and watch the exclusive video for my take on that and so much more! PLUS, now that Tamra's spinoff is over, let me know which shows YOU want me to cover.

'Tamra's OC Wedding' Finale Recap: Tamra Barney and Eddie Judge FINALLY Make it To The Altar and No One Can Stop Crying

AppId is over the quota

by Rebecca Stokes 11 hours ago

Two things worth noting happened during this, the culmination of 'Tamra's OC Wedding'. The first, Tamra finally got her vagina and butt-hole waxed. It was like a horror movie...for the two male friends she forced into the waxing stall with her. No, but seriously. One of her dudes walked in and actually started screaming and clawing at his eyes while bellowing, "I SAW YOUR MUSSEL!" Classy.

The second and perhaps more pertinent event of this week's episode? Tamra and Eddie Judge got married! It happened! There was even a bike artfully dangling upside down from the ceiling and everything! Because of how Eddie loves bikes! Frankly, I'll admit -- I was pretty sure when we learned that Tamra's dresses weren't going to arrive until the morning of the ceremony that the whole deal was going to devolve into tears and stabbing.

That was not the case. It was fine. All three dresses (THREE DRESSES, Y'ALL) arrived and fit her to perfection. If anything, the whole wedding weekend was so uneventful that it was almost as dull as watching a non-reality star's wedding video. Remember how Tamra was fighting with her brother last week? Well this week they made up and hugged while crying. To be fair, that could have been because they were both drinking moonshine.

One of my favorite parts of the evening was Heather Dubrow and Vicki Gunvalson wearing matching towels to get their wedding makeup done. This excited Heather so much that she trotted out of the room to get hers when she spotted Vicki. The woman literally pranced off while singing, "Then we can be Twinkies!" Pretty sure she meant twins, but hey, maybe she also really, really, likes Hostess baked goods. 

There was no family drama at the ceremony. I wouldn't have been well-behaved. I would have been cackling at the officiant who I'm pretty sure had a fake British accent. I bet she has a second career as a sex therapist. She probably hosts all her sessions in a hot tub in her backyard. 

Everyone cried either at the ceremony or at the reception. Somewhere a tissue mogul is twirling his mustache and cackling. All the Housewives wept too -- but out of happiness! Yes, in spite of all of Eddie's concerns, the wives were present, and they mostly behaved themselves. Did Gretchen Rossi talk during the entire ceremony? Yes. Was Lydia McLaughlin inexplicably wearing a child's floral crown purchased from Claire's? Maybe. But it was as though Tamra and Eddie's love had healing properties. Even Vicki was happy, all smoochin' up on Gretchen and what have you as Eddie and Tamra cha-cha'ed the night away.

What did you think of the big event?

Tamra juez (mejor conocido para nosotros como Tamra Barney) es conocido por su forma de ajuste. La señora tiene 46 años y en mejor forma que nunca será. La mujer copropietarios de un gimnasio, así que no es de extrañar que ella está roto. Supongo que se supone que es una poca publicidad para su negocio. Todavía, algunos de sus modos de ajuste permanecer parecen un poco... trastornado.

¿Sus intentos más recientes para mantener su cuerpo demente hasta su sistema riguroso de las normas? Los entrenamientos de Bikini con nuevos centros de Eddie juez. En mis pesadillas que tengo de estar frente a este hombre en un bikini. Hay un montón de llorar involucrados, de los dos.

Mientras me preparo para una sesión de compartimiento, Tamra decidieron que sería una buena idea hacer una rápida serie de flexiones. Ser la esposa fiel, Eddie decidió "ayudarla". Si usted puede llamar en cuclillas encima de ella como trabajó "ayudar", y lo haré.

¿Supongo que tal vez eso cuenta como manchas le? Real aunque seamos. Yo soy apenas un bastión de la aptitud, y ni siquiera me siento inspirado a trabajar mi base si eso significaba que tenía Eddie parados sin camisa para inspirarme. ¿Qué es que dices, Eddie? ¿Si lo hago más estocadas, están bajando los pantalones? Estocadas aquí vamos! Siento que quema en efecto.

¿Con Eddie alrededor, aumentaría su recuento de push-up?

'RHOC' Tamra Barney May Have Replaced Her Starvation Diet With Something Just as Bad

by Maressa Brown 13 hours ago

Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney may be a co-owner of a gym and look amazing for 46, but she hasn't always had her fitness act together. She recently admitted to Life & Style that she used to keep her weight in check in a seriously unhealthy way ... 

“I used to starve myself. I was skinny, but I was really flabby. Eating right has changed my body the most,” she explains. Ugh. That's so sad. But unfortunately, it really is so much more common than we probably even realize. Especially with all the disgusting, disturbing "thinspiration/thinspo" culture that's thriving through social media like Instagram, women are hearing and encouraging one another to "eat less" -- like one totally sick Urban Outfitters t-shirt urged -- or not eat at all.

It's heartening to hear that Tamra's moved past her extreme, detrimental eating habits ... Or has she?

She says that nowadays, she usually keeps her diet in check with one super-strict guideline: "No dairy; no sugar. Nothing white, basically.”

I understand steering clear of dairy, simple carbs, and sugar for the most part, but doing it 24/7/365 and saying absolutely NO to all of that all of the time is a bit overboard. It's just not really a practical way to live your life. I mean, did she skip her own wedding cake? How 'bout cocktails with the girls or wine -- does she skip those on the regular? That's sugar! See what I mean? It's just taking a good, smart approach a bit too far.

Sounds like that's her forte, though, considering her workout regimen. She shares:

I’m at the gym every single day. So if I’m there, I might as well go take a class: Grit, cycling, dance or something else. Sometimes I’ll do three classes in one day.

Three classes a day? Whhhhuuuuhh?! Okay, I guess if you workout for a living, it makes sense, but still -- extreme! 

While Tamra may be healthier than she was back in her starvation, flabby days, I feel like she may not be leading the most balanced lifestyle ... And that strikes me as a shame.

What do you think about Tamra's admission?

An Unexpected Enemy Tries to Take Down Tamra Barney Right Before Her Wedding (VIDEO)

woensdag 11 september 2013

Last night was CRAZY in Reality TV land!! Did you watch?? First, on Tamra’s OC Wedding, the bride was nearly burned at the stake. Add to that a swinging cake, a ballooning budget, REALLY bad behavior on the groom’s part, and a family feud.

But that was just the tip of the over-the-top drama!

You may remember on the last season of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Tamra Barney filmed a tear-jerker scene with her mother, going over childhood trauma and asking her mother why she never says, “I love you.” The mom was horrified, of course, but they talked it out. Fast forward to the filming of this wedding spinoff and all hell has broken loose. In fact, this time Tamra’s entire extended family is about to kill her. This is what happens when estranged family members see something on television they don’t like, or are embarrassed by. Tamra’s lucky they didn’t set her hair on fire!

Over on The Real Housewives of Miami, the biggest star of the night was a caged panther that should have been allowed to break out of its cage and eat those outrageously catty cast members. The Lea Black backstabbing was brutal. Or perhaps I’m just upset because Lauren Foster stole my line. Or tried to. "Thug in a Ferragamo" doesn’t have quite the same ring as "Thug in a Cocktail Dress," does it?

That wasn't the only guffaw. Guess what fatal mistakes I spotted last night? One was the result of sloppy production and, the other, a Miami cast member making a really bad choice. It’s true what they say, in real life as well as on reality TV, that if you sit on the fence, you get nothing but a pole up your a**. So who’s guilty of this crime? Watch my exclusive video to find out!

'RHOC' Tamra Barney and Eddie Judge's Love Is Bonded in Sweat

woensdag 28 augustus 2013

While doing my best to keep all of my extremities covered from the cruel sun's rays, one of my favorite Real Housewives duos, Tamra Barney and her new hubby Eddie Judge, have yet to meet clothes that they would like to wear. To be clear, they aren't strolling around in their birthday suits, they've just decided to put us all to shame in their bathing suits while hanging out in Miami.

Tamra's kids were enjoying some sun and fun. The adults were enjoying these too -- plus some cocktails -- before Tamra and Eddie's new show, Tamra's OC Wedding, debuts in only a couple of days. For the happy couple, it's clear that enjoying their shared love of relaxation and physical fitness is something that really enhances their bond.

Tamra and Eddie have been such a hot couple since they began their romance. Whether it be hitting the floor for some salsa dancing or collaborating on their co-owned fitness center, you get the real sense that physical activity is what keeps them together. I bet we'll see a lot more of it on the new show, particularly as Tamra tries to distract Eddie from her overspending on the wedding.

As excited as I am to see the new show (oh come on, like you don't already have your DVR scheduled to record every minute), I'm also looking forward to more from Eddie and Tamra once the walk down the aisle is complete. They are such a fun couple to watch.

Just look at everything Tamra's taught us solo -- from how best to address your anger issues to how to move on from your difficult past. She taught us a bunch about being a happy single woman, who knows what they can bring to the table as a happy couple. Maybe after the wedding show is finito, Bravo will look into a show where Eddie and Tamra teach all of us at home how best to tone our glutes while attracting super-hot significant others.

Do you think Eddie and Tamra have a future on TV after Tamra's OC wedding airs?

Tamra Barney's Reluctance to Have a Baby With Her Husband Can Only Mean One Thing

zaterdag 3 augustus 2013

Now that Real Housewife of OC Tamra Barney has married her prince, Eddie Judge, it's time to spit out a new baby, right? Not so fast! Tamra is giving Eddie a year to decide if he wants her to have his baby. "If he really, really thinks he needs a baby" in the next year, Tamra says, she'll think about it. But he can't take forever to decide. "I'm not going to be 70 years old and going to [drop the kids off] at preschool. I'm not doing it."

Yeah, it's a good thing Tamra is giving Eddie a time limit since the baby factory can't stay open forever. But it's also a good thing they're not exactly rushing into making another baby, either. I'm not so sure it's a great idea for these two to reproduce together.

Tamra already has three kids from her previous marriage, there's the dog, plus Eddie is five years younger than she is (and I guess that makes him feel like a fourth kid?), and there's the family business. And then Tamra goes on to describe how not fun she is during pregnancy. Hemorrhoids are mentioned ... "I don't need to go through the nine months," Eddie says. So surrogacy? Adoption? They're on the table, but probably not seriously.

Watch the video and it kind of sounds like Tamra is saying "NO" to having another baby without actually saying the word. But any new couple in their position would be wise to think a while before adding a whole new human being to their family. They still have to adjust and get used to each other as a blended family. They have to make sure the marriage is stable enough to last.

Oh yeah, about that marriage. We're not even convinced this is the real deal for these two, or if Tamra's wedding was just a phony baloney publicity stunt. I mean, why are these two even having this conversation at all? (Because someone asked them.) It's kind of ridiculous.

How long do you think new couples in blended families should wait before trying to add to their family?
