Real Housewife of Bev Hills
My Daughter Can
Stomach the Show

0522_yolanda_foster_gigi_INFBesides having tons of money, a ridiculously rich husband and a sick Malibu mansion, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Yolanda Foster also has a model child.

Yolanda supervised as her gorgeous 17-year-old professional catwalking daughter Gigi Hadid rocked a bikini and a pair of Roman gladiator sandals on a photo shoot in L.A. on Wednesday.

Fun fact: Yolanda is currently married to music mogul David Foster, but Gigi is her daughter with ex-husband Mohamed Hadid ... the celeb real estate contractor who just settled a huge lawsuit with Sylvester Stallone over alleged shoddy home renovations.

Porsha Williams
Kordell Changed the Locks On Me!

Exclusive
0516_porsha_kordell_01
Kordell Stewart REAALLLY doesn't wanna see his estranged wife Porsha Williams anymore ... 'cause the ex-NFL star just changed the locks on the family home to keep her out ... this according to Porsha.

The "Real Housewives of ATL" star just filed new docs in her divorce war with Kordell ... and it appears the nasty split just got even NASTIER.

According to the docs, filed in family court in Georgia and obtained by TMZ, Porsha claims Kordell has locked her out of their residence on multiple occasions ... and she had to have her lawyer beg Kordell's people for a key.

Sources close to the situation tell us Kordell isn't playing ball -- and hasn't forked over a key.

But there's more ... according to the docs, Porsha tried to work things out with Kordell in a mediation session, but she claims he blew the whole thing off ... and called it a "waste of everyone's time."

Porsha wants a judge to force Kordell to either allow her to use the house ... or pay her enough cash so she can get a "suitable alternative residence."

Sources tell us Porsha is currently living with her mom in ATL -- guess she feels it's just not a "suitable residence" for a grown woman.

Calls to Kordell's people have not been returned.

Lisa Vanderpump's Hubby
PULLED OVER
Can We Blame the Valet??

Exclusive
0517_vanderpump_articleLisa Vanderpump's hubby Ken escaped the long arm of the law this week -- when he was pulled over by a cop in West Hollywood ... for something that probably WASN'T EVEN HIS FAULT!!!

Here's the deal -- sources tell us an eagle-eyed cop spotted Ken's fancy Bentley cruising down Santa Monica Blvd. at nighttime WITHOUT his headlights on.

But here's the rub ... we're told Ken had just picked up Lisa from their restaurant SUR ... and we're guessing that's where things went wrong.

WHY? Because he probably left the car with the valet ... and sometimes valets TURN OFF YOUR HEADLIGHTS (even if they're set to automatic) ... and it drives us frickin' CRAZY!!!!

Anywho ... Ken didn't get in trouble for the headlight issue, the cop let him drive off without a ticket.

We can't confirm the valet thing either ... but c'mon, you KNOW it's happened to you.

'90s Actress Carlton Gebbia
I'm Joining 'RHOBH'
to Empower Women

Exclusive
051713_carlton_gebbia_launch
'90s TV actress Carlton Gebbia has high hopes for her upcoming stint on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" ... telling friends she hopes to ditch the TV cat fights and empower women instead. Goooood luck.

Sources tell us ... Carlton, who guest starred on shows like "The Young and the Restless" and "Suddenly Susan" back in the day, is definitely joining the cast for season 4. Bravo has yet to confirm it, but our sources tell us it's happening.

Plus, we got Carlton out in L.A. recently and she all but said, "Yes, I'm on the show." Instead she talked about what she WOULD do IF she were on it. Yeah.

The addition should be interesting ... our sources tell us, Carlton's made it clear -- she's "sick of the silly s**t women do" on "Real Housewives" and wants to portray her sex as beautiful, strong and powerful, i.e., no table flipping.

FYI -- Carlton is married to StockCross owner David Gebbia and is reportedly worth about $50 mil.

Casey Kasem's Wife
I'm Talking to Bravo About
'RHOBH'

Exclusive
051213_jean_kasem_launch"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" honchos are still on the hunt for fresh "RHOBH" meat, and Casey Kasem's wife tells TMZ ... she's in talks with Bravo to be that meat.

Bravo has tried to keep a tight lid on who will replace Adrienne Maloof and Camille Grammar ... which is why it came as a shock when our photog ran into Jean Kasem in Malibu on Saturday and she casually mentioned a recent meeting with Bravo brass.

As for her "Housewife" cred  ... Jean's been Mrs. Casey Kasem since 1980 and she also starred on "Cheers."

Real Housewives Of NYC
FAT RAISES ...
OR WE QUIT!

Exclusive
0508-real-housewives-of-nyc
The Real Housewives of NYC have banded together against the Bravo Network -- REFUSING to continue on the show unless they ALL get huge raises, TMZ has learned. 

Sources tell us ... LuAnn de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, Aviva Drescher, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and Heather Thomson were recently approached by Bravo individually with contract offers to appear on Season 6, which is supposed to begin production on Monday.

But the women were each unhappy with the offers ... and figured they would have more leverage against the network if they teamed up ... just like the cast of "Friends" did back in the day.

We're told the women approached Bravo as a group and made their demand clear -- FAT RAISES FOR ALL ... OR WE QUIT.

Here's where it gets interesting -- sources tell us the network is FURIOUS ... and has told the group they have until Friday (tomorrow) to sign the offers that are currently on the table, or they're all FIRED.

Translation -- IT'S A STANDOFF!!!!!

One thing to consider -- Season 5 of "NYC Housewives" was one of the lowest rated seasons in the show's run.

A rep for Bravo had no comment on the situation.

Porsha Williams
My Divorce Is 100% REAL
... But I Wish It Wasn't

Exclusive
0507_porsha_willaims_kordell_stewart_tmz_articlePorsha Williams says her divorce from former NFL star Kordell Stewart is ABSOLUTELY NOT a publicity stunt or a contrived plotline for "Real Housewives" ... but she wishes it was.

After TMZ broke the story that Kordell pulled the plug on the marriage back in March ... several media outlets called B.S. on the split, claiming it was a cheap P.R. stunt concocted in the hopes they would stay on the show for another season.

But Porsha's rep tells us ... the notion of a phony divorce is "absolutely ridiculous" ... explaining, "Given everything this abrupt divorce filing has put her through in the public, [Porsha] would never bring something like this on herself, especially with them having a child in the house."

The rep adds, "[Porsha] wishes things could have been different [with Kordell] but that simply is not possible.”

We also spoke with Porsha's attorney, Randy Kessler, who says the two sides are trying to keep the split amicable and are working on reaching a separation agreement as quickly as possible. 

The two were married in 2011 and have no children together ... but Kordell has a son from a previous relationship.

Kenya Moore
Returning to 'Housewives'
... If the Money's Right

Exclusive
050613_kenya_moore_launch
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore WILL be returning for season 6 of the reality show ... on one condition -- the money better be damn good.

Sources close to the show tell TMZ, she's currently finalizing talks with Bravo to come back next season ... but her paycheck has become a sticking point in contract negotiations.

We're told the issue is expected to be settled very soon ... and her return is pretty much a done deal.

We shot Kenya at the airport Monday -- but when we asked about whether she'd be returning, she played coy.

As for Kenya's archnemesis Porsha Stewart ... sources say she'll be coming back too, but in a smaller role.

Bethenny Frankel
Divorce FINAL ... Sort Of

Exclusive
0105-bethenny-frankel-jason-hoppy-gettyBethenny Frankel has settled up with Jason Hoppy on getting divorced -- TMZ has learned ... but there are still many loose ends.

Sources connected with the case tell TMZ ... both Bethenny and Jason have filed legal docs saying they have agreed to get a divorce based on the "irretrievable breakdown" of the marriage.

But there are a number of unresolved issues ... although they signed a prenup in 2010, we've learned the division of property is still being negotiated. Ditto on child custody, child support and spousal support.

The judge set a deadline for Bethenny and Jason to agree on a parenting plan -- May 24th.

One other thing ... They're still haggling over a computer that Jason wants Bethenny to return. 

Don't they know they can buy one at Best Buy for less than $500?
