Last updated on: June 26, 2012 at 7:31 pm By Lilit Marcus

This year, The Real Housewives of Orange County added a new housewife to their mix, and she ended being my favorite this season. Heather Paige Kent is an actress and mom of four who is married to Terry Dubrow, a plastic surgeon who reality TV junkies like me will recognize from The Swan. Although they’ve been together for fifteen years, Heather has finally decided to take her husband’s last name. She told the audience that in Jewish tradition you have... Read more

Coming Next: ‘The Real Christian Housewives’?

Last updated on: June 26, 2012 at 6:19 pm By Lilit Marcus

Love them or hate them, you can’t deny that the Real Housewives franchise has become a huge force in our current pop culture scene. And while the women on the show never shy from discussing sex and politics, religion comes up far less rarely. Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Alexis Bellino is an outspoken Christian (her tagline is “I thank God for my life, and you would too”), and several castmembers from Real Housewives of New York have talked about...

Last updated on: June 26, 2012 at 6:20 pm By Lilit Marcus

Nadya Suleman, the woman best known to the world as Octomom, is having a busy year.

Actor Jonathan Jackson, who has played Lucky Spencer (son of Luke and Laura!) on the soap General Hospital since he was a kid, won the Best Supporting Actor trophy at the Daytime Emmys on Saturday night.

Does the Giovanni Ribisi/Agyness Deyn Wedding Mean She’s a Scientologist?

Last updated on: June 22, 2012 at 10:56 am By Lilit Marcus

Although nobody even knew they were dating, actor Giovanni Ribisi and model Agyness Deyn eloped in L.A. last weekend. That does leave me with one big question, though: is Agyness a Scientologist? Giovanni is a second-generation Scientologist. His mother, Gay Ribisi, is a well-known casting agent who is very active in the Los Angeles Scientology community. His twin sister, Marissa Ribisi, is married to Beck, also a second-generation Scientologist and a longtime family friend. Giovanni’s ex-wife, Mariah O’Brien, was also... Read more

The following is a guest post from Ashley Baxstrom. It previously appeared on The Revealer and is reprinted here with permission. The first rule of Fight Club is, you do not talk about Fight Club.
