The very best day of Teresa Giudice's year, perhaps even her life, has finally come. Shortly after 5 a.m. this morning The Real Housewives of New Jersey star was released from a Connecticut prison after serving 11.5 months for various fraud and financial crimes. Since her husband, Joe Giudice still isn't allowed to drive Teresa was accompanied by her attorney and while cameras could not film her release, they apparently will be rolling soon enough.

It has been rumored almost since the day that Giudice surrendered to authorities that once released she would return to the Bravo show that made her a household name in the first place. While a three-part special that focused on her family was a ratings flop back in October, it is still assumed that reality fans will want to follow Giudice's return to her family, especially as she prepares for her husband to begin serving his jail sentence in March.

Do you think that this past year behind bars has really changed Giudice or will she reemerge as pretty much the same woman that admitted to being a criminal?

Currently Booming: Is Yolanda Foster Cured of Illness After Announcing Divorce?

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' new season has spent an awful lot of time focusing on the health of Yolanda Foster. Supposedly, the former model has been suffering from Lyme disease for the last three years and in spite of her illness she has opted to stay with the reality show to bring awareness to the illness. While no one doubts that Foster is sick, exactly what her real diagnosis is has been a topic of conversation. We learned a few weeks ago that her marriage to David Foster has come to a shocking end and now even he is doubting her health issues.

Ironically, just as her costars, estranged family and fans alike have begun to think that Foster might be thriving on the attention that being sick has brought her way, rumor has it she is actually getting better.

According to a report by Radar Online, "with the Lyme disease controversy being Yolanda’s storyline this year, she is ready to fight back against accusations she has been faking it. Yolanda won’t allow the other ladies to bully her about the hell she has been through. She’s feeling much stronger than she has in months, and the ladies are going to be in for a big surprise when Yolanda lights into them.”

I don't think anyone doubts that Foster's health has been affected by something. Several of the other housewives have mentioned that stress or depression might actually be at the root of her illness. If after ending her marriage she is beginning to feel better physically then I suspect we'll hear a lot more of that kind of speculation. Do you think that trying to keep her marriage together has actually contributed to Foster's physical symptoms?

Currently Booming: David Foster Thinks Yolanda Loves the Attention from Being Sick

Yolanda Foster has been the subject of many headlines recently. First, the reality star has returned for a third season on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in spite of her ongoing health issues. She and David Foster also announced their split, much to the surprise of her fellow housewives and fans alike. As this season of the Bravo show has progressed it seems that her co-stars have become more than a little skeptical of her battle with Lyme disease. They all agree that she is sick, but seem to agree that things aren't adding up and now we're hearing that Yolanda's soon-to-be-ex agrees with that notion.

According to a report by Us Weekly, “David and his family think Yolanda just loves the attention of being sick. They believe she’s exaggerating her condition. And they point out that she’s never gotten a legit diagnosis or a second or third opinion. He didn’t understand why Yolanda wouldn’t leave The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills if she’s in so much pain and so tired, He’s famous and private and rich, so it was frustrating Yolanda wanted to do this show so badly.”

There has been speculation in the press that Yolanda might be exaggerating things or that the root of her troubles might actually be psychological and now it seems that David might actually agree with that notion. What do you think is actually going on? Has Yolanda waged an honest physical battle, one that she has opted to share in order to educate the public? Or has she been misdiagnosed or is she simply thriving on the extra attention? 

Currently Booming: 'RHOBH' Yolanda Foster Confirms Divorce from Music Mogul

Ugh you guys. That reality television curse has struck again. You know, the one that seems to take perfectly stable couples and sets them onto a path that inevitably ends in divorce? This time around the victims are Yolanda and David Foster. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and her husband issued a joint statement yesterday confirming that their four year marriage is indeed over. There are so many issues at play here that divorce just seems like the last thing that Yolanda needs to deal with.

Fans of the Bravo show are well aware of her three-year battle with Lyme disease. While Yolanda has marked herself as a spokesperson to educate the general public about the illness, in recent weeks her reality co-stars have begun questioning what's really going on with her. The validity of her sickness has been questioned and there have been some questions raised about her mental health as well.

If you tuned in to the season six premiere of RHOBH then you saw firsthand just how ill Yolanda appears to be. She attended Lisa Rinna's birthday dinner with not a stitch of makeup on, something that only seemed to highlight her sickness. That left the other ladies to wonder about her real motives. Is she really THAT sick or is she fishing for sympathy?

David Foster has publicly committed himself to doing whatever is necessary to make his soon-to-be-ex feel better but her running across the world for "treatments" has not only taken a toll on his bank account, but also on their relationship. You have to wonder what kind of man leaves his sick wife, or as some have questioned, has the sickness been exaggerated to make him stay?

Any way you look at it, this is one of those couples that I think most Bravo fans were really pulling for so their split is just a bit sadder than some others have seemed. What do you think is really going on behind the scenes here?

Currently Booming: 'RHOBH' Kyle Richards Claims Sister Kim is Sober Again

(Photo: Instagram)

Fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are anxious for the season 6 premiere on Bravo tonight and some of the ladies have done a bit of advance promo this week. Kyle Richards stopped in for a chat with housewives producer, Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM radio show and naturally the conversation eventually turned towards her relationship with sister, Kim Richards, who has had a very messy year.

After insisting that she was clean and sober  for months on end, Kim had two very high profile arrests and then at least one trip to rehab and that's just in the last 6 months. Her relationship with Kyle is usually strained at best with hostility usually rearing its ugly head. Kyle told Cohen that her sister is doing better but that their relationship will likely always be strained.
.
"She’s good right now. She’s happy, she’s good, she’s sober. It’s very difficult. Like I was just saying with Andy, we’ll be OK, and then the show reruns, and we’re like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ and it kind of brings things up again, honestly. It’s not just that, but we have a very difficult relationship, and we probably will always be a work in progress, always. Honestly, I don’t know if it’s ever going to be like, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s just like when we were little now, woo-hoo! Let’s go have ice cream together.’ I hope, but it’s probably not.”

It seemed like Kyle spent years either covering for her sister or else tip toeing around her. Do you think that those days are finally over? While Kim was supposedly fired from RHOBH she is also rumored to have taped some scenes. Do you think she'll turn up on camera in season 6?

Currently Booming: 'RHOA' Porsha Williams Has Advice for Cynthia Bailey's Crumbling Marriage

(Photo: Twitter)

Fans of The Real Housewives of Atlanta are already well-aware of the fact that Cynthia Bailey's marriage to Peter Thomas is resting on pretty shaky ground. Ever since the "businessman" was caught getting too cozy with a woman on video, he has most certainly been in the doghouse. Bailey's co-star, Porsha Williams found her own marriage in total disarray as Bravo's cameras rolled a few years back and because of that she totally understands the pressure that Bailey must be feeling.

According to a report by Radar Online, Williams has offered Bailey some advice. "Cynthia and Peter haven’t always been my best friends because they kind of delved and got really involved in my personal relationship as they both did with Phaedra‘s personal relationship. So I haven’t been really close to her to be like that person who she confides in. I have told her before, ‘Over anything, work it out. A marriage is worth it. You love that person and you are going have those months in a row, but try to work it out. It’s got to be worked out in way that’s still going to be good for you.” 

Williams is kind of stating the obvious here, but are you surprised that she would choose to comment at all? Is saying anything at all likely to be seen as her taking a jab at Bailey, or do you think that Williams hoped to quiet some of the rumors and put a better spin on the situation?

As for Bailey's marriage to Thomas, what do you think the real story is? Has he cheated on her repeatedly, as some outlets have reported?

Currently Booming: Is This Proof That 'RHOC' Brooks Ayers Lied About Having Cancer?

(Photo: Instagram)

The most recent season of The Real Housewives of Orange County wrapped up several weeks ago but there is still active speculation surrounding the main topic of the whole season: whether or not Brooks Ayers had cancer. He had dated cast regular, Vicki Gunvalson on and off for years (the two have since split, again) and she spent most of her airtime defending him to the other women. When questions arose over whether or not Ayers really had cancer, Gunvalson fought tooth and nail to support her man. Unfortunately there is now another reason to believe that he lied about his health.

Ayers claimed that his cancer treatment was through City of Hope, but according to a new report by E!, a hospital spokesperson confirms that Ayers was never treated at the facility. Apparently, Ayers had presented a supposed bill from the facility to prove that he really had undergone treatment and when the network did their checking, they were told that the bill was a fake.

Even before this nearly everyone, including Gunvalson herself, seemed to come to the same conclusion, that Ayers was faking his illness. The question is why. Do you think that the con man had been angling to get his hands on Gunvalson's money? During the reunion show she admitted that she is afraid of her ex. Do you think that he has something on her and that's why she had his back for so long?

Currently Booming: 'RHONJ' Amber Marchese Quits Show, Claims Scenes are Staged

(Photo: Twitter)

When Amber Marchese joined the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey last season she was hoping to have a great experience. Instead the cancer survivor has confirmed that doing the reality show was nothing at all like she had anticipated and she didn't like the way that she was portrayed. Marchese confirmed what many had already suspected, she'll not be returning to the show for a second season.

Marchese recently spoke with People magazine and gave what many consider to be a pretty explosive interview. “I was picked on a casting call while pursuing acting, and the person that was presented was created for the show. I had little control over content, situations, or what they decide to show the viewers. Even my relationship with the twins was created. I recruited them for my storyline after I was chosen. I only met with Teresa Guidice and Dina Manzo for filming purposes. I never built a friendship with them as we were nothing more than co-workers. I wish them all well and the best of luck, although, my husband does not share my sentiments.”

Based on Marchese's description of things, it sure sounds like a lot of what we have all seen of RHONJ is at the very least staged if not completely scripted. Do you think that Marchese wanted to give us that idea? Are you surprised to hear that she considers the other housewives nothing more than former coworkers? Do you think that if the other ladies were to be completely honest their comments would resemble some of Marchese's?

What are your thoughts on RHONJ? Is Marchese just being negative because she wasn't asked back or is she telling the truth about the reality show?

Currently Booming: 'RHOC' Vicki Gunvalson Admits to Lying on Reunion Show

Currently Booming: Did 'RHOC' Shannon Beador Prove That Brooks Ayers Has Lied About Having Cancer?

(Photo: Twitter)

Bravo's The Real Housewives of Orange County wrapped up another season last week and as usual, there was tons of drama. What's more than a little ironic is that this time around, the main focus of that drama is not around one of the ladies. Instead, Brooks Ayers, the on/off boyfriend of Vicki Gunvalson is at the center of the controversy. Supposedly he has been battling his third round of cancer but rumor has it that Ayers made up his medical crisis in order to keep Gunvalson by his side. She dumped him a few months back but the scandal keeps swirling.

Several of the housewives seem to have found ways to prove that Ayers was lying and Shannon Beador showed up for the reunion show taping last week, armed with her proof.

According to a report by Radar Online, "Shannon brought her report from the clinic to the taping of the reunion and pointed out glaring differences from what Brooks had given to Tamra Judge to review on camera. The letterhead was completely different along with the spacing. Shannon also pointed out that she specifically asked if her report reflected a universal format used by the clinic for all patients, and she was told it did. In her mind, this was the only proof she needed to prove Brooks was lying about his cancer diagnosis.”

Have you followed the drama on RHOC this season? Do you think that Ayers has been lying to Gunvalson and everyone else in her circle?  Do you think he has truly been sick?

Currently Booming: 'RHOA' NeNe Leakes Makes Surprise Return for Season 8

(Photo: Twitter)

We have been hearing for months that NeNe Leakes was completely finished with The Real Housewives of Atlanta and really happy to move on from the reality series. If you tuned in last season then you watched as the series' former top dog quickly became the under dog, with nearly every cast member having serious issues with Leakes. She never expected everyone to turn on her and so her response was to walk away, at least for a minute. Now I'm hearing that she will indeed return for the eighth season after all.

According to a report by E!, "RHOA is currently filming season eight's trip to Jamaica, and NeNe will make an appearance—unannounced—much to the surprise of her unsuspecting co-stars, according to sources close to production. (That's right: The ladies have no idea she's coming. The drama!) NeNe will be making an undetermined number of appearances in the new season."

Are you at all surprised that Leakes is going to turn up and stir the pot a bit more? I'm guessing that you're probably not. Perhaps the real question is whether or not Leakes ever really intended to leave or if that story made for good publicity. Do you think that she's actually still a regular RHOA cast member and that she'll be on for most of the season despite the rumors about her quitting?

Currently Booming: Brandi Glanville Has Filmed Scenes for 'RHOBH' Season 6

(Photo: Twitter)

Several months ago it was confirmed that Brandi Glanville was out at The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The 42-year-old mom of two has always been a lightening rod for trouble and over the last few years that has been part of what has kept her on the show. Glanville was a fan favorite but in the last year something changed and everyone seemed to decide that keeping her around was a bad idea. Bravo beginning filming season 6 without her and they realized that Glanville's drama was needed.

While she is no longer billed as a full time housewife, Glanville has taped scenes for season six.  I have to wonder how the decision to bring her back is sitting with the rest of the cast. By the end of last season nearly everyone had an ax to grind with her and even the fans were hating on Glanville. Do you think that every scene that includes her now will be seriously messy?

Were you glad to hear that Glanville had been cut from the cast? Or are you glad that RHOBH will still include her chaos in some way?
