We would feel guilty about enjoying such juicy gossip at the expense of The Real Housewives‘ personal lives, but they’re the ones who decided to put their lives on television, right? 

Baby Blues?
In the last few episodes of The Real Housewives of New York City, LuAnn de Lesseps has been making it known that she and French boyfriend Jacques are contemplating having another baby. Some skeptics have said that LuAnn is using this to bolster her “plot line” to stay relevant on the show, but that she actually has no intention of having a baby. Now her mother has confirmed such suspicions.

“LuAnn’s tubes were tied after her last kid,” LuAnn’s mother told The Huffington Post.

That would probably hinder the effectiveness of those acupuncture fertility treatments she had earlier this season.

He’s A Keeper Loser
Viewers of The Real Housewives of New Jersey already know Teresa Giudice‘s husband Joe can be kind of a meat head. We’ve seen him be insulting and chauvinistic, but it sounds like he’s taking his ape act to a whole other level in an upcoming episode.

“They are all in Napa to celebrate Caroline’s birthday and enjoying a group dinner when Joe gets up from the table and pretends he has to make a business call,” an insider told The Huffington Post. “Joe disappears away from the cameras but doesn’t realize that he still has a microphone on when a lady, not his wife, is heard saying ‘hi baby.’ After a while, Teresa goes looking for her husband, followed by the show’s cameras, and Joe can be clearly heard saying ‘here comes my bitch wife, she’s such a c***.'”

The insiders say that Teresa had no idea this incident would be included in the show until a few days ago. Love or hate Teresa, no one deserves to be treated like that.

NeNe’s New Old Man
Although The Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes claimed to be divorced from husband Gregg Leakes at the season 4 reunion, insiders tell WetPaint.com that he has been quite involved in the filming of season 5.

“I think this season will be make or break for them,” the insider said. “They’re going to see if they’re better off apart or together. That will be a big part of NeNe’s story line on the show–whether or not she and Gregg get back together.”

Couples Therapy
While one RH couple may be getting back together, another may be breaking up. Former RHONYC star Alex McCord and husband Simon Van Kempen are going to hash out their issues on a VH1 reality show for troubled “celebrity” couples called Couples Therapy.

Now whether this couple is actually having marriage troubles or are just swiping at another opportunity to be on reality TV remains to be seen.
