Tamra Barney is planning a wedding! The Bravo reality star says that since announcing her engagement this past March, her life has been a whirlwind. But she says even though she and fiance Eddie Judge are “taking things slow,” she knows she wants it in Italy!

“Honestly we’re talking about February,” she told us of her upcoming nuptials. “We have a lot going on, a destination wedding maybe in Italy?”

But she did add that she and Eddie aren’t in a huge rush because she wants to make sure her kids can adjust.

“We are just taking it slow,” she says. “We just combined our families together back in February, so it’s a whole process. I said I’d get married when the kids are ready.”

So are her kids with ex-husband Simon Barney: Sidney, 14, Spencer, 12, and Sophia, 6, ready for their mom to say ‘I’do’?

“Divorce is never easy and it takes a long time for the kids to adjust,” she says. “I don’t know if the kids will ever be completely ready. They still in their minds hope and dream their parents will be together. So we are just taking it slow one day at a time. It’ll happen when it happens.”

But one things for sure, her kids will definitely be involved in the ceremony: “Sidney has a lot to say about the dress, my six-year-old definitely wants to be a flower girl and my 12-year-old son could care less.”

Tamra Barney is as real as it gets! The Bravo star tells HollywoodLife.com that she and Vicki Gunvalson will never be friends as long as she’s dating Brooks Ayers. Tamra and Brooks got into a mega fight on the June 26 episode of the Real Housewives of Orange County but Tamra says she didn’t start it. After the jump watch Tamra’s latest tell-all interview!

Tamra is ready for fans to pick sides and reveal who they think was in the wrong: Tamra or Brooks!

Check out never-before-seen footage from season six of ‘The Real Housewives Of Orange County’ on tonight’s episode!

The original Real Housewives never fail to be out staged with their over-the-top lifestyles, plastic surgery, and girl fights. Season six was no disappointment with the addition of new ‘Housewives’ Peggy Tanous and Fernanda Rocha spicing up new drama while lingering feuds still raged on between Tamra Barney and Gretchen Rossi. We saw catfights, wine-throwing, and even a divorce — but check out what you didn’t see on this season of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Monday night Bravo is showing all the juicy footage that was left out of season six in a special “Lost Footage” episode. Gretchen gets real about her struggles with bulimia that have haunted her since high school! She reveals that the pressure of her parents drove her to want to be “perfect” and still taint her body image today. Alexis Bellino talks to a therapist about her relationship with her husband being strained because of her fear of divorce. Since both their parents are divorced Alexis and her husband made a pact when they got married that “divorce was not an option.”

Divorce and eating disorders are just a few of the issues addressed in Monday night’s “Lost Footage” episode. We’re sure there will be plenty of other skeletons in the closet that surface with the rest of the girls and we can’t wait to see what wasn’t included in last season. Tell us what you think! Are you excited to see more of the Orange County Housewives?

Peggy shows off some skin, Vicki’s on the verge of a breakdown and Alexis gets caught up in a bed of lies!

The May 8 episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County started with Tamra Barney putting the rumors to rest: she DID lock lips with her sexy lesbian trainer, Fernanda Rocha, while she was still married to Simon!

Mind you, it was a ‘girls’ night out’ filled with lots of tequila! But she’s kept her lips sealed about the whole thing — until now.

Meanwhile, Peggy Tanous and Alexis Bellino get together for a little chat. During their friendly powwow, the truth comes out about Jim being M.I.A during Peggy’s big shindig last week. He wasn’t on “business” — he’s just sick of the OC drama!

The ladies then go out for a little wine-tasting adventure around Cali! But all the fun goes downhill when Don comes up in conversation. Vicki Gunvalson tries to avoid the touchy topic, but we know she’s about to burst into tears over her marital problems.

In other Housewives news, Gretchen Rossi makes a TV appearance in Texas to debut her new handbag line on a QVC-like show called San Antonio Living.

And she’s not the only one hopping on the self-promotional bandwagon! The business-savvy Alexis also shows off some swanky new dresses for her new couture line. And Peggy strips down to a sexy thong and bra in a private photo shoot — for her hubby’s eyes only!

But her hubby is calling all the shots in her photo shoot!

Talk about a power struggle! Jim won’t let Alexis make any decisions on her own without first getting his approval. And that includes her own fashion shoot!

He hovers over his wife as she struts her stuff for the camera. Though it seems to make everyone around him uncomfortable, Jim doesn’t care. In fact, his feeling about the whole thing: if he’s financing the project, he gets the final say.

And Alexis herself just obeys orders, smiling and posing whenever he tells her.

Check out all of the action tonight at 10 p.m. on Bravo!

It was an emotional roller coaster for the ladies of the O.C.!

The cattiness was in full swing for the May 1 episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County!

Peggy Tanous gets ready to host a fancy dinner party for all her friends! Fabulous food? Check. Fabulous wine? Check. Lots of drama? Double check!

For starters, most of the men are mysteriously missing! Gretchen Rossi’s boyfriend Slade skips out on all the fun in order to “spend more time with his boys.” But the rest of the party isn’t buying his excuse. It seems like Slade’s just using his kids as a way to avoid talking about his child support issues with the whole O.C. crew!

Alexis Bellino’s other-half, Jim, also backs-out of the party last minute because of “business.” But we think there’s more to this story than Alexis is willing to spill. After all, she gets up from the table in the middle of dinner to have a mini-meltdown in the bathroom!

She later apologizes for being such a Debbie Downer. But then Alexis picks a fight with Peggy, proving once and for all that when it comes to the O.C., there’s no such thing as a drama-free party!

Meanwhile, Tamra Barney uses the big shindig as an opportunity to show-off her hot new man. Eddie certainly makes a classy entrance and good first impression on all the ladies!  But some of the other housewives get turned off (and maybe a little jealous) by all of their PDA on the dance floor.

In other Housewives news, things get heated between Vicki Gunvalson and hubby Don. The two start arguing at the dinner table about having kids, and the bickering continues through the limo ride home.

We’ll have to wait until next week’s episode to find out what happened when the two got home! But judging from the previews, the outcome looks rather bleak!

– Katie Moore

But will any of her friends show up to her celebrity-catered feast?

She’s been planning it for over a month now, but Peggy’s ultra-chic soirée doesn’t start-off as planned. Alexis’ husband is M.I.A. for the whole get together. And adding fuel to the fire, Tamra and Vicki both decide to show up “fashionably late.”

From the tension on her botoxed face, we can tell Peggy’s blood is starting to boil. Will she cave under such pressure? Or will her party-planning skills live up to the ultimate test?

Get more behind-the-scenes sexy and watch all of the drama unfold when The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo tonight at 10:00 p.m.!

Tamra struts her stuff, Fernanda makes a startling confession, and Peggy preps for the perfect pool party!

The April 24 episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County started out with a big birthday surprise for Gretchen Rossi! Slade takes her on a romantic trip – to his art gallery (who knew he was such an artiste)! He makes her throw on a smock and try her hand at doodling. It’s not quite the glitzy diamond necklace she wanted. But Gretchen’s totally flattered when he pulls out the big guns: a life-size portrait of his princess!

Meanwhile, Vicki Gunvalson invites Alexis Bellino over for a little chitchat to clear the air about the whole “mace” incident from a few weeks back. Alexis forgives, but isn’t quite ready to forget. Looks like Vicki will have to prove she’s not a backstabbing businesswoman when the ladies get together for a major shindig during next week’s episode.

In other news, it’s time for an OC-style fashion show! Peggy Tanous is a natural-born hostess. Tamra Barney, on the other hand, gets a mean case of the stomach-churning butterflies before making her model debut. But she ends up rocking the runway – and even high-fives housewife frenemy, Jeana Keough, after strutting her stuff. Oh, what a boost of catwalk confidence can do for a lady!

Finally, the episode ends with a shocking confession by Fernanda Rocha! In typical kiss-and-tell fashion, Fernanda explains that the hot kiss she shared with Tamra a few weeks back was more than just a friendly peck – it was a real connection. Not sure what Tamra’s side of the story is, but we’ll soon find out what she thinks about all of this when the two reunite on next week’s episode!
