Time for another bitter and disjointed episode of RHOC. But first:
* RealityTea has the exclusive news that Dr. Terry is being sued for malpractice and insurance fraud in a case of the disappearing bellybutton! It seems some swimsuit model went to see him to get her “umbilical hernia”, whatever that is, fixed, and came out bellybutton free. Wasn’t there a TV show about some weird looking alien kid who didn’t have a bellybutton a few years ago? Interestingly, you know who else doesn’t have a bellybutton anymore is (a) the nasty woman who was on “Everybody Loves Raymond”, and (b) Tammy Sue! And Tammy apparently plans to have Dr. Terry make her one. And so it all comes full circle.
* In other plastic surgery news, someone told RT yesterday that Jacqueline got a tummy tuck while visiting useless daughter Ashlee in California. Maybe she too saw Dr. Terry for this procedure – wonder if she came out minus a bellybutton. On a related subject, a local mom I know tells me she met Jacqueline at a “hair show” in Vegas last year and that she could not have been nicer.
* Mr. Andy had his favorite ‘Wife, NeNe Leakes, on for a 1-on-1 earlier this week, and in her usual fashion NeNe dissed everyone, notably The Glands, and took credit for all the glory on each and every franchise.
* Gretch did an interview recently in which she acknowledged that doing Housewives was probably not the best thing for her personally, but had its benefits as to her various businesses. I wonder if she would have met Shady Slade were it not for the Housewives, and whether that falls into the category of Pros or the category of Cons to her participation.
* In other Gretch news, RT has detailed a history of the sightings of her new engagement ring in its various iterations (including when it may have been Jo De La Rosa’s engagement ring), and arrived at the conclusion that this engagement may have happened quite a long time ago and been kept on the DL until the TV timing was more ideal.
* And finally, last week’s speculation that some old lady model was joining the BH cast has been scuttled aside in favor of speculation that someone named Carlton Gebbia is coming in. They are apparently filming so I can only guess they are making it up as they go along. When I hear “Carlton”, all I can think is “Fresh Prince”. Let’s hope they find someone – anyone! – so we don’t have to endure more Taylor Armstrong.
