Carlton and Brandi’s Kiss
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills supertease got people talking this week, specifically because of a blurb with Carlton Gebbia and Brandi Glanville. The tease features a steamy smooch between the two 'Wives, and according to Gebbia, Brandi is a good kisser. But don’t get too far ahead of yourselves—“We’re just girl friends,” Gebbia explained. “To be honest, that’s not the first time I’ve kissed a girl and it probably won’t be the last.”
Kenya and Kanye Sitting in a Tree?
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore dished on Access Hollywood Live this week about a flirtatious encounter she had with rapper Kanye West.

Porsha Stewart Not Ready for the Dating Game
After a painful and public divorce, Porsha Stewart is on the road to rebuilding her life. This season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, which premieres Sunday, follows her as she navigates the ups and downs of getting back on her feet. “It was very difficult with everyone knowing all the details of the divorce,” she told Hip Hop Weekly Magazine. “But you never know how strong you are until you are put in a certain position. I realized my strength and that’s what’s keeping me together.
Oprah vs. Jenny McCarthy
Jenny McCarthy made a surprising admission on Watch What Happens Live this week when she told Andy Cohen that she was afraid of Oprah. Because of their past professional relationship, McCarthy is not lining up to sit on Oprah’s couch any time soon, saying that she is on O’ s--t list. Oprah took to Twitter to dispel this fear, writing that she doesn’t have such a list. “If I did you’d never be on it,” O continued. “Wishing you only good fortune, love and light and watching @theview.”
Will the Giudices Go to Jail?
Nancy Grace thinks so. In response to a viewer’s question about whether or not Teresa and Joe Giudice would serve time, Nancy admitted that she believes that the charges are founded. “I think that they were in it together," she asserted. And as a result, she thinks their fate is grim. “I predict they are going down,” she said.

Richard Blaise To Urinate on 59th Street Bridge
But he’s got a really good reason—we promise. The Top Chef contestant and avid runner has been training for the New York Marathon, and now that race day is almost here, he shared some of his pre-race rituals, which include shaving his legs (“it’s superstition!”), carb loading with rice, grains and protein, and getting to bed early. His main piece of advice? Avoid the 59th Street Bridge. “It’s the only part of the course without spectators,” he explained, “so I—and a few thousand people—probably plan on going potty there [during the marathon].”
