In this week's Housewives roundup, Taylor digs herself into a deeper hole, Sheree is still talking about her exit, Brandi goes to therapy and Teresa visits the Today Show.

Taylor Has (Another) Meltdown
We've all heard the rumors circulating the Internet about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong regarding her reliance on alcohol to cope with her abusive husband's suicide. Now, multiple insiders are telling RadarOnline that Taylor had a "catastrophic meltdown" (on camera of course) during a ladies spa getaway to Ojai, California.

"Taylor was wasted from the moment she appeared in the morning until the moment she collapsed at night," an insider said. "It was a horrific sight to see. She totally lost control of her emotions and her temper. She is an absolute complete mess, but she refuses to acknowledge that she has a problem."

Although her fellow cast members have been said to confront her with her problem, Taylor is refusing to get help, and it may even cost her air time in season 3, as Bravo producers have said they will start to "phase her out."

So Long Sheree
Sheree Whitfield, formerly of Real Housewives of Atlanta, is still trying to maintain that she wasn't fired by Bravo after last season, saying that it was an "amicable split."

"I was ready to move, and I don't need to explain myself to anybody," Sheree told Essence. "I am super happy, and I'm moving in a different direction. I'm not about just being on a show bickering and fighting with women."

Sheree says she is working on new projects including a new fitness challenge initiative and finishing Chateau Sheree (formerly known as "Neverland").

Family Therapy
RHOBH star Brandi Glanville has been getting herself into some hot water lately, saying that she wanted to hurt her husband Eddie Cibrian's new wife LeAnn Rimes when she first saw the country singer holding her son. But Brandi is working to make the situation better for everyone by seeking counseling for herself, LeAnn and Eddie.

"I did it for the kids," Brandi said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "I don't know that many ex-wives who would do that. I'm not a hateful person."

Fabulicious!
Teresa Giudice of Real Housewives of New Jersey's last book may have stirred up a lot of controversy among her family members and castmates, but her new book Fabulicious: Fast & Fit is keeping it simple and sticking to the recipes.

Teresa's new book "has 70 new heart-healthy recipes from start to stove in 30 minutes" and "in the back there's a nutritional guide that works with Weight Watchers and gluten-free diets." Here's a clip of Teresa cooking up some chicken bruschetta on Today with Kathie Lee Gofford and Hoda Kotb.
