Real Housewives

Teresa Giudice's caught up in a Photoshop scandal for the ages -- her severely mocked birthday wish for Larsa Pippen -- but now, she's trying to have some fun with it.

We caught up with Teresa Tuesday at ABC Studios in NYC ... and she said the reason she so clearly superimposed herself and Larsa over a separate beach photo was simply because she didn't like the original background.

Teresa said her assistant had recently been at a beach in Mexico, so she decided to jack her scenic backdrop for the bday shoutout to Larsa. Watch the clip, what's unclear is if Teresa did the Photoshop herself ... or if she's blaming her assistant for the shoddy final edit?

Dorit Kemsley's giving us an update on her marital status after separating from her hubby PK ... and, interestingly, she's not slamming the door on the possibility of reconciliation.

She was out and about Monday in L.A. when the 'RHOBH' star told us her current focus amid their split was putting all their energy into co-parenting their 2 kiddos.

Of course, we had to ask if she was still working toward "maybe getting back together" ... and she didn't say no way.

Kyle Richards can't wrap her head around people needing to comment on women's bodies in this day and age -- this in response to body-shamers attacking her pal Kesha.

We caught up with the 'RHOBH' star at LAX Monday following her Aspen trip with the singer -- and she tells us she's baffled by the mean comments about Kesha's appearance ... 'cause as far as she's concerned, she's gorgeous -- and even more beautiful on the inside.

As for whether Kesha's letting the trolling get to her, Kyle points us to the singer's IG message ... where the "Timber" hitmaker said those mean comments only made her stronger.

Teresa Giudice is getting scorched over a pic she posted that has been labeled "worst photoshop" ever.

So it seemed innocent enough ... Teresa posting the pic of her with Larsa Pippen, wishing her fellow reality star a happy birthday. Again innocent enough ... a pic by the ocean.

The caption ... “Happy Birthday to my girl @larsapippen wishing you all the best to come. Love you 💕.”

Claudia Jordan is coming to the defense of her former 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' costar, Kenya Moore ... after the latter exited the show following an alleged scandal.

We caught up with Claudia in L.A., who called Kenya's early exit from season 16 a tragedy ... and suggested the show may not be watchable without KM's loud and proud personality.

CJ, who appeared on seasons 7 and 8 of 'RHOA,' added ... "I think she's a big part of that success and I hope it's only a temporary thing."

Kim Zolciak and Chet Hanks never left the friend zone while filming the new season of 'Surreal Life' ... despite a recent trailer suggesting otherwise.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the Bravo personality and Tom Hanks' son did NOT hook up during their time in the 'The Surreal Life' house -- though some people in the cast did feel the pair had sexual chemistry.

Still, we're told nothing physical occurred between Kim and Chet ... even though MTV's first look for "Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets" showed the 2 contestants embracing in a bedroom with the lights off.

Shannon Beador's being forced to eat some humble pie after her DUI ... sitting down for an emotional heart-to-heart with her daughters, and apologizing for her bad behavior.

ICYMI ... "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star was arrested in September 2023 for a DUI hit-and-run after she crashed into a Newport Beach home and abandoned her vehicle.

Bravo has since shown the fallout from her legal drama, as they released the first 7 minutes of 'RHOC' season 18 on Tuesday ... showing Shannon crying while speaking with her daughters Sophie, Stella and Adeline.

Brandi Glanville is sounding off on how "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip" legal drama is impacting her mentally and financially ... and she's, once again, threatening to take legal action.

The former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star took to X Tuesday to further deny Caroline Manzo's lawsuit claim Brandi sexually assaulted her during production for the Morocco-based season.

As Brandi put it, she's been put through the wringer over the lawsuit -- saying she was "fired, removed from the cast [and] held hostage in a hotel in Morocco for days."

Shereé Whitfield is not feeling confident about the future of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" on the heels of Kenya Moore's controversial exit, but says she knows exactly what/who the producers need!

The former 'RHOA' star was shopping in ATL, when she broke it down ... telling a photog the reality show is slowly sinking after losing herself, Kandi Burruss and now Kenya in recent months.

Shereé says she feels particularly bad for Kenya, who exited 'RHOA' after being put on pause for allegedly showing posters of newcomer Brittany Eady performing oral sex.

Mauricio Umansky's revealing details of his recent birthday ... including what Kyle Richards bought him -- but, he says he's not the right person to ask about reconciliation.

We caught up with the reality television star and real estate mogul in Los Angeles Friday with his daughter Alexia ... and, we asked how the festivities went.

After pointing out he and his daughter are June birthday buddies -- Alexia turned 28 in mid-June -- Mauricio dished on the best part of any birthday ... the presents, specifically those from his estranged wife.

Kim Zolciak's found herself a flirtatious escape from all her marital struggles ... in the arms of one Chet Hanks, and now there's video proof of their connection.

MTV dropped the first teaser Friday for "Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets," and in it, the former Bravo personality and Tom Hanks' son were filmed sharing a steamy moment.

Check it out ... Chet praised Kim's good looks, applauding the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' alum as a "MILF."

Brandi Glanville is coming to Kenya Moore's defense after the 'RHOA' star exited season 16 of the Bravo series following misconduct claims involving posters of a cast member allegedly performing oral sex ... pointing the guilty finger at producers for the drama.

Brandi -- who previously accused Bravo's Andy Cohen of sexual harassment -- took to X Wednesday evening and called out the drama unfolding on the network ... including physical fighting between costars on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey."

She then touched on Kenya's suspension and subsequent exit from the new season of 'RHOA,' which occurred after KM allegedly showed sexually explicit images of newcomer Brittany Eady.

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky aren't letting their separation keep them from celebrating major milestones together ... as the estranged spouses reunited for a very special occasion.

Check it out ... the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star and owner of The Agency real estate firm reunited in West Hollywood Tuesday evening, bringing together their entire family to celebrate Mauricio's 54th birthday.

The "Buying Beverly Hills" star and Kyle made it clear they're putting their family first, as they seemed at ease around each other ... at least outside Catch Steak, a WeHo hot spot for celebs.

Kenya Moore is speaking out amid the news she isn't returning for the remainder of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" season 16 ... assuring her fans she's doing just fine.

The Bravo personality took to Instagram Wednesday, hinting the full story behind her suspension and exit from the new season of 'RHOA' may not be out there. As Kenya put it ... she is grateful for fans' support but noted her "conscience is clean" amid the drama.

She continued ... "So many false claims hiding behind anonymous sources. All this conversation and no facts being reported. If a claim or source was valid, would they need to hide?"

Kenya Moore is officially putting down her peach for this next season at least -- 'cause she ain't coming back to 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' ... and this could possibly turn ugly.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Kenya will not return as a cast member for the rest of production for the new season (16) after she was sidelined indefinitely for allegedly unveiling sexually explicit posters of newcomer Brittany Eady seemingly performing oral sex.

Now, we're told Kenya has not been fired from 'RHOA' ... instead, we're told both sides have agreed she's just gonna take a break from the show for now. Our sources say Bravo is keeping the door open for a future return -- however, we're also told Kenya is considering legal options at this point ... because she's not happy with how this whole mess unfolded.

Jennifer Lawrence is going the murder mystery route for her next starring role ... a film for Apple that's apparently inspired by 'The Real Housewives' franchise, which is totally fitting.

The actress is set to play the lead in a flick called "The Wives" -- which she's also producing, BTW -- and words is ... it's a classic whodunnit, where J Law will get to play a typical housewife in the vein of the Bravo world.

There aren't a lot of other details yet about Jennifer's new movie ... it was announced Friday and it's still being developed, so the plot isn't quite finished and there's no shoot date. Still ... the fact Jen's doing a 'Housewives' thing is honestly perfect casting, 'cause she's a huge fan!
