BRAVO’s longest running Real Housewives series, The Real Housewives of Orange County, will be adding another name to their ever-expanding cast list after the departure of Housewife Peggy Tanous.

Actress/wife of a plastic surgeon (a pairing I like to call a “perfect storm), Heather Dubrow, will be joining the RHOOC cast for the show’s 7th season and hopefully add a breath of fresh air to her increasingly stale fellow Housewives

According to The National Enquirer, who broke the news regarding Dubrow being cast on the hit reality series, insiders are already wondering on which side of the Tamra vs. Gretchen fence she’ll fall.

It’s going to be interesting to see which side Heather chooses – either Gretchen and Alexis’ or Vicki and Tamra… No matter which side she chooses, I’m sure there is going to be fireworks and drama.

A little birdie (okay, it was the National Enquirer…) told me that Heather won “Miss Congeniality” in the 1989 Miss New York State Pageant – so maybe she won’t choose a side at all!

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!  Yeah right.
