“Real Housewives” Live Tour Kicks Off in Atlantic City
The folks at Bravo have taken their popular Real Housewives franchise and sent it on the road. The Real Housewives Live Tour launched on Saturday at Caesars Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. The show consisted of Watch What Happens Live producer John Jude interviewing Cynthia Bailey of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Caroline Manzo of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, LuAnn de Lesseps of The Real Housewives of New York City, and Vicki Gunvalson of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Cynthia was a last-minute replacement for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards.
Audience members who were pre-selected before the show were able to ask the Housewives questions. Caroline and LuAnn received the most attention from the audience, but no shocking secrets emerged during the event. The show lasted an hour and forty five minus with a fifteen minute intermission. Spotted in the audience were Lauren Manzo, Caroline’s daughter, as well as Cynthia’s husband Peter Thomas.
Tickets for the show ranged from $37.50 to a deluxe VIP package for $170 that included preferred seating and a meet-and-greet cocktail reception with the Housewives.
The next stop in the tour is October 8 in Chicago, featuring Sonja Morgan from The Real Housewives of New York City, Gretchen Rossi from The Real Housewives of Orange County,Lisa Vanderpump from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Phaedra Parks from The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
The tour closes out in Atlanta on October 15 with Alex McCord from The Real Housewives of New York City (filling in for JIll Zarin, who asked to be replaced), Melissa Gorga from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, NeNe Leaks from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Marysol Patton from The Real Housewives of Miami.
Are Alex McCord & Cindy Barshop OUT on “The Real Housewives of New York City”?
According to HollywoodLife, Alex and Cindy will not be returning for the fifth season of The Real Housewives of New York City. While it’s no secret that Cindy didn’t exactly set off fireworks on the popular Bravo series, Alex has upped the drama in the last two seasons. That said, it’s become clear that the current cast simply does not get along. Personally, I miss the camaraderie that existed in the first two seasons. Yes, Alex was the outcast in the first season and there was no love lost between Bethenny and Kelly in season two, but overall the cast at least tolerated each other. This season everything fell apart as everyone seemed to have an issue with each other. Maybe a few casting tweaks may just be what the doctor ordered. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, don’t forget to check out the conclusion of the reunion episode tonight at 9pm on Bravo.
Another “Real Housewives” Song, But with a Twist
Yet another Real Housewives cast member has recorded a song, but the catchy I am Real marks the first single from one of the husbands. Simon Van Kempen’s new tune is a light techno pop piece, with lyrics that are a bit repetitive, but somewhat memorable. Check it out below.
