The stars of ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’, Gretchen Rossi, Lynne Curtin, Tamra Barney, Vicki Gunvalson and Alexis Bellino, stripped off to their bikini’s to show their rocking hot bodies in an exclusive photo shoot for InTouch Magazine (photos below).

“You can tell how competitive they are with each other,” says an on-set source. “They were looking at each others’ bodies and were all trying to look the best!”

“I think we all strive to look good,” Gretchen, 31, told In Touch while relaxing pool side at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. “Everyone takes really good care of themselves.”

“You can’t just let yourself go,” explains Gretchen. “Everyone should do what they need to in order to feel hot!”

The housewives are really competitive. It’s all about who is hotter, thinner, and, of course, richer. Gretchen Rossi is probably the most hated housewife because she is younger, wilder and gets more media attention because of her infamous nude and vibrator pictures.

Who Was Eliminated On Dancing With The Stars Week 9? Two of our favorite DWTS celebs were in the bottom two – Kelly Osbourne and Joanna Krupa – and, unfortunately, someone had to say goodbye. Joanna and her professional partner Derek Hough were eliminated on Dancing With The Stars results show on Tuesday (November 17).

Joanna’s nude photo spread for the December 2009 issue of Playboy Magazine was brought to rehearsals by DWTS host Tom Bergeron to tease Derek. The 30 year-old model, who made DWTS history with her futuristic paso doble (watch video here), says it was a great experience and that she is happy to have accepted the challenge.

Joanna told OK! “It was a really tough competition, being in the top four. In the beginning, I came in as the underdog. I was competing against people with bigger fan bases and I was just honored to be in the final four.

“I was really competing against amazing professionals and to even get to this level, I’m really blessed and happy to have had this opportunity. I definitely exceeded my expectations, and there were three other couples that were great, talented, and had huge fan bases.”

Joanna is also happy with her now dancer hot body: “I definitely worked my butt off. And my cleavage. I’m definitely leaner and stronger so I’m going to try to figure out how I can get the other two things back but keep everything else how it is.”

The final 3 couples are: Mya and Dmitry Chapin; Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson; and, Kelly Osbourne and Louis van Amstel. We cannot believe Donny made it this far and we are cheering for Kelly, who had no experience and has admirably evolved into a dancing queen, to beat Mya and win the competition.

Dancing With The Stars Scoreboard (Week 9):

• Mya and Dmitry Chapin: 87
• Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough: 81
• Kelly Osbourne and Louis van Amstel: 78
• Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson: 74

‘The Biggest Loser’ contestant Rebecca Meyer was eliminated on week 10 of the competition but she is already a winner. The 25 year-old student not only lost 100lbs but she also finally found love in fellow contestant Daniel Wright, a 20 year-old student (photos below).

Rebecca couldn’t stop crying during elimination because she knew she had to leave her lover to continue battling for a healthier lifestyle. They hadn’t officially announced their relationship, however, Daniel had promised to introduce friends to his “new girlfriend” at the episode’s finale.

Rebecca finally spilled the beans on Jay Leno on Tuesday (November 17) - watch video below. Rebecca said, “Daniel was my best friend, is my best friend and leaving the show we talked for like five, six hour conversations and then, you know, he told me he had feelings.”

Meyer added, “Daniel and I have gone through the same thing, I mean, he’s gone through an even more intense version of it and I fell in love with my best friend.”

‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’ star Lynne Curtin is happy and proud she got under the knife to fix what she felt wasn’t right about her body. “I’d always worked out a lot, but my head didn’t match my body,” Lynne tells Star. “I was so excited to get the work done.”

Lynne started her own ‘face-lift fund’ with money from the sales of her jewelry line to pay plastic surgeon Dr. Milind K. Ambe. And on July 11, Lynne finally got what she asked for - “He moved my face up by lifting my forehead,” explains Lynne. “I also had a lift around my neck.” [before and after photos below]

The 52 year-old claims she lost like 12 years on her face and her husband Frank couldn’t be happier with the results too. “He sends me texts all day saying I’m hot!” Lynne said.

OH NO! Former ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8’ star Jon Gosselin, who is currently seeking spiritual help from Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, is in big trouble and might end up losing custody of his 8 children due to a sex tape and allegations of cocaine use, according to the National Enquirer.

Jon’s bodyguard Thomas Meinelt is ready to go to court and testify against the father-of-eight in TLC’s lawsuit. Thomas reportedly saw Jon snorting cocaine several times and even watched his x-rated tape!

“Tom told me that Jon was secretly videotaped having sex with a woman in Los Angeles in October, and he’s seen the tape!” said Stephanie Santoro (photos), Jon’s former flame and family nanny.

“Tom said people close to Jon put a camera in his hotel room, and paid a girl to flirt with Jon and have sex with him. He also told me that he saw Jon snort cocaine on more than one occasion, and that the more Jon got into partying, the more cocaine he used!”

WOW! And we thought there was nothing more horrible than the idea of seeing Levi Johnston totally naked on the cover of Playgirl. Jon is literally screwed! An interesting detail in this story is Hailey Glassman, Jon’s girlfriend, who sold and used cocaine while in college (Hailey Glassman’s mugshot) – all the pieces of the puzzle seem to fall into place!

‘Wipeout’ contestant Tom Sparks has passed away after having a stroke following an injury during an obstacle course challenge for the reality show on November 5. The 33 year-old, who started complaining of knee pain and shortness of breath, was taken to a local hospital and later transferred to Cedars Sinai Medical Center, where he underwent several brain surgeries.

Tom’s father, Billy Sparks, revealed he suffered from a pre-existing condition, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), a disease that causes unnatural clotting of the blood. Tom, a recent graduate of the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, was married to his wife Kate for only two months.

“We offer our heartfelt condolences to the family,” a joint ABC/Endemol statement read. “This is a tragic loss and our thoughts are with them at this time.” R.I.P. Tom Sparks!

Tamra Barney says of one picture, “There’s a picture of her with a vibrator laying on a bed with a cord… Holy mother of gynecology! Who has a vibrator with a cord?” A woman who is “in a dark place,” says Rossi (NSFW link below).

These photos were taken shortly after Gretchen fiancé’s tragic death and posted on TheDirty. Gretchen seems to be pretty happy playing with her new toy and posing in compromising positions during a time she should have been mourning for Jeff Beitzel’s death. Gretchen is currently dating Slade Smiley (photos).

Terrible, horrible and atrocious does not even begin to describe Kim’s performance. Who the heck ever told her she could sing? She cannot sing and she is TOO old to become another talentless pop star.

“The Real Housewives of Orange County” are back with a new season, a lot of drama, catfights, Lynne Curtin Jewelry Line and a new addition Alexis Bellino. Alexis is married to Jim Bellino, a self-made entrepreneur, and is the mother of three young children, 3 year-old James and 20 month-old twins Melania and Mackenna. Other cast members are: Tamra Barney, Jeana Keough, Lynne Curtin, Vicki Gunvalson and Gretchen Rossi.

“[Alexis Bellino] seems like a real, true, genuine person,” Gretchen Rossi said. “I’ve really enjoyed having her as part of the cast, and her and I have become really good friends. There’s always drama when you put all of girls together, and Alexis brings some spice to the group.”

While Lynne is busy showcasing her brand new line of jewelry, which is all about cuffs, the housewives discuss Gretchen’s scandalous nude photos that have showed up online (read more details and photos).

Vicki cannot stand Gretchen and does not approve of her relationship with current boyfriend Slade Smiley, which began shortly after the death of her fiancé (more details). “We’ve fallen madly in love. It’s nothing we ever expected, [but] he’s taken really good care of me and helped me through a really emotional time,” said a smitten Gretchen.

Gretchen and Tamra’s relationship isn’t the healthiest either. The two can barely look at each other. Gretchen is ready for a fight. “I decided I’m gonna be a little bit stronger,” Gretchen said. “I’m gonna be cordial. I’m gonna be civil, but I’m gonna let her [Tamra] know how I feel. I’m gonna let her know that the way I was treated last year wasn’t right.”

Jeana will be out for most of the season since she is dealing with serious financial problems but she will return for season 6. You just cannot miss this season of the original “Real Housewives”!

‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kim Zolciak did not take off her wig just yet but she is stripped off pounds of makeup to reveal what she really looked like before she became a hot real housewife (photos below).

The single mother-of-two confessed she didn’t feel comfortable in her skin but she is more confident now. “I feel most confident now, even versus a year ago,” she says. “And more beautiful than ever.”

Kim, who recently broke up with the mysterious ‘Big Poppa’, wants to purse career in music. Her first hit is “Tardy For The Party” (watch video here). Here are some highlights from Kim Zolciak’s exclusive InTouch interview:

How have you changed since your younger years? “I have black hair naturally, but my mom’s a hairdresser, so I’ve been blond gradually since 16, 17 and on. I was always a thick build. I had braces.”

You don’t hide that you’ve had cosmetic enhancements. “I just don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Some cosmetic enhancement is obvious. A lot of times, the people who aren’t talking about it are the ones who look horrible. I do Botox. I’ve had my boobs done twice. I started getting Botox when I was 25 for migraines. I recommend that to anybody. And VelaShape. I don’t know if it shrinks you, but it keeps you tone and taut.”

Would you ever do Playboy? “Probably. I’d have to talk to my children, because when you’re a mom, it’s not just you anymore. I think Playboy is very classy and sexy, but there’s a time and place for it. Kim Kardashian did it very tastefully.”

Would you get more surgery? “When I’m done having children, I’d be all for a tummy tuck. I would love a nose job, but I’m scared. I would do just about anything to maintain myself.”

What is the biggest misconception about you? “I’m not stupid, I’m not a homewrecker or a gold digger. But I don’t even care. I’m past that. I may not make all the right decisions, but I’m happy. I’ve worked so hard to get where I am. As a single mom, you can achieve your dreams, be successful, and be a great parent. Now I look back and think, “How could you think you couldn’t do it?”

Who Was Eliminated On Dancing With The Stars Week 7? Another double elimination week started with a shocking surprise when Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff were placed in the bottom three, despite scoring 29 off 30 in their solo performance on Monday, and were forced to go through the dance off against Mark Dacascos and his partner Lacey Schwimmer.

The first couple to say goodbye to the competition was Michael Irvin and his partner Anna Demidova and after a nerve-wracking dance-off Aaron was saved by the judges, which means Mark Dacascos was eliminated.

Karina had to speak up for her partner since he was completely shocked with the results (Yep! Not everyone loves you, Aaron!) and revealed how she kept Aaron focused. “I didn’t let Aaron watch Mark’s dance or listen to what the judges said,” she explained. “Because I don’t want anything else going through his head.”

Actress Kirstie Alley is returning to the small screen with an A&E unscripted documentary/reality show that will show her struggle to lose weight while raising teenagers alone and looking for love.

The still untitled 10-episode reality show, which will be produced by FremantleMedia, is set to air sometime in 2010. “Kirstie is exactly the kind of star A&E is drawn to,” an A&E executive told Variety. “Her personal life has been playing out in the media for years, but this will be the first time she’ll be opening up her home to reveal her real life for the cameras.”

Kirstie, a former Jenny Craig spokesperson, has been constantly battling complicated weight issues – she lost 75 pounds to show off her bikini body on Oprah back in 2006 (photos below) only to gain 85 pounds again and weighing in more than 200 pounds. The 58 year-old actress will reportedly launch her own weight loss program on the show.

TLC’s reality star Kate Gosselin opened up during an intimate revealing interview where no topics were off limits with Natalie Morales for TLC’s special ‘Kate: Her Story’ which aired on Monday (November 2) – watch videos below.

Surprisingly, Kate admitted she does not blame Jon Gosselin for the divorce and apologized for the way she treated him but claims the show had nothing to do with what happened. Kate feels TLC gave her an opportunity to earn her money, spend a lot of time with the kids and to take advantage of the trips and experiences the show provided.

“I was very hard on him and I would never deny that,” she added. “I felt very much like a lot of weight rested on my shoulders. I was wrong to treat him that way. Was it good, healthy and wonderful? No. Am I proud of those moments that were captured? No,” Kate said.

Kate also confessed she has trouble sleeping because she can’t really trust anyone. “When you look around, and very close trusted people who would never cash you in, for lack of better words, and those people do that and people leave your house and tell completely different stories, you tend not to trust people,” she said.

The mother-of-eight denies having an affair with her bodyguard Steve Neild (read more details + photos) and still has a difficult time accepting that her ex-husband is dating Hailey Glassman, who she briefly met a couple of years ago. As for the future, Kate wants to stay positive for the sake of her kids, “I have learned to focus on the positive, to take what crumbles around me and find one good thing and hold on to it.”

In conclusion, Kate still has feelings for Jon! He will always be the father of her children. Kate hopes they will overcome the anger and finally be able to talk like adults. “It’s hard to be married to somebody for 10 years and try to say, ‘No, I don’t love them anymore.’ I love the memories we have together, the good times.”

Said Kate, “I would love to get to point where he can put his anger aside… The anger in me isn’t as raw as it once was. I would love to get to a point that we can converse like two adults. I am sure we will get there.” This was an honest interview, we hope Kate and Jon can resolve their issues in private like grown ups.
