The Real Housewives of NYC End the Season With a Bang

The season of high drama comes to a close with nothing short of an explosive and thoroughly entertaining finale! When Bethenny gives LuAnn’s housekeeper Rosie a cooking lesson, Rosie ends up teaching a love-lorn Bethenny a few tips about dating in return.

Also, Jill enlists Kelly to pick out a donation for her charity event at a high-end jewlery store where the eccentric owner gushes over Kelly. And when the charity event finally approaches, Jill and Ramona are livid to see that Bethenny is promoting her own brand at the event behind their backs:

Real Housewives pitch in to help injured Marines

Although recognized for their enviable lifestyles, Real Housewives Vicki Gunvalson, Tammy Knickerbocker, Jeana Keough and Tamra Barney will soon parlay their celebrity for a cause that extends far beyond the gates of Coto. Joining forces with the Cox Community Golf Tournament to benefit injured Marines, the Real Housewives’ participation is a testament to the power of connectivity and community action.

Made possible by the support of corporate sponsors, participants and volunteers who continue to do well by doing good, this event has raised more than $100,000 for the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund (IMSFF), since its inception. In an effort to make the March 9 event the most successful yet, despite a challenging economy, Cox Orange County’s charitable foundation, Cox Cares, is actively pursuing sponsors to join The Real Housewives and align with a special cause that directly benefits heroes in need.

Sponsorship packages range from $500 to $20,000, each offering a variety of publicity benefits based on the level of financial commitment. Individual golfers can register online for $325, foursomes for $1,300, and dinner guests for $100. Visit www.cox-cares.org/golf.

The Real Housewives of Orange County returns with a new addition

From Bravo:

On the highly anticipated fourth season premiere of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” Tamra Barney, Vicki Gunvalson, Jeana Keough and Lauri Peterson welcome a new housewife to the block, 30-year-old blond bombshell Gretchen Rossi, who poses an immediate threat with her youth and golden good looks. The ladies continue to strive to live the good life, but in reality the seemingly perfect lives of contemporary women juggling family, friends and careers isn’t always what it seems. The fourth season of the hit docu-series “The Real Housewives of Orange County” premieres Tuesday, November 25 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

This season the ladies are tackling greater challenges while coming to terms with past secrets and lingering issues. Vicki is building her insurance empire, sometimes to the detriment of her marriage to Donn; Tamra copes with her relationships with her estranged father and her taxing 21-year-old son, Ryan, while also keeping busy as a stay-at-home mom with three young kids; Jeana tries to figure out her next move following an emotional separation from her husband, Matt; while Lauri continues to enjoy life as a blissful newlywed, but issues with her son, Josh, may tarnish her fairytale.

There is competition in store for this complicated circle of friends. Gretchen is the newest housewife on the block, and a jaw-dropping Orange County bombshell. Gretchen’s fianc, Jeff, is an older man who spoils her rotten with diamonds and gifts. They enjoyed a whirlwind romance and engagement that came to an unexpected and heartbreaking turn when Jeff was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia. An outgoing party girl, it’s easy to peg Gretchen as a gold digger (and the other ladies have their doubts about her), but she cares for Jeff and stands by him through very serious hardships that test her character.

As usual, the men and kids are caught in the whirlwind and do their best to try and understand their complicated wives, mothers and daughters, but insight into these women proves once again to be anything but simple. This fourth season will explore the women on a deeper level, bringing their stories full circle to uncover the secrets that often lie behind closed doors. The gates, Botox injections and mansions can’t keep reality from intruding for too long. What will finally unfold when the gates are opened?
