Meanwhile, Vicki Gunvalson's son Michael Wolfsmith came to her defense and shared some interesting details about his relationship to Donn. "Ummm they didn't have him as a "father"?? He sucked! He told me he loved me the day they got divorced, about 15 years after being my "dad."
According to a new report, Yolanda Hadid it's not too thrilled about her ex-husband David Foster's engagement to Katharine McPhee. “She was initially upset by the engagement,” a source told Radar Online. “It’s unacceptable and she thinks he’s way too old for her.”
The insider reveals that Hadid’s intuition was right all along with her ex and McPhee’s relationship, which had been rumored as a romance for the past year. “Yolanda suspected something was going on with Katharine all along,” said the source.
Foster was seen cuddling up to the Broadway actress just two weeks after finalizing his divorce from Hadid. “She was threatened by their chemistry,” the source told Radar Online. “They were more than flirty. She wanted David to be honest and he kept denying it. She was upset at him, not Katharine.”
Sources reveal that the reasoning behind their quickie engagement “all came down to money.”
“Katharine refused to sign a pre-nup and David finally gave in. So that’s why the engagement happened. “His lawyers were more adamant about one, but he figured it’s his last marriage, he’s older, so he agreed with Katharine.”
7. Brandi Glanville Opens Up About Ending Her Feud With LeAnn Rimes!

While Glanville admitted that she and Rimes are still “not always going to agree on everything,” she said “the kids were so happy that day, because I actually got to go inside [Rimes and Cibrian’s] house.”
“They love her and she loves them — it’s like everyone’s happy. I think the hardest part was just her and I going at it, and now that that’s done, the kids are super happy. They’ve never been happier,” she added.
Dorinda Medley opened up about how she really feels about her Real Housewives of New York City co-star Bethenny Frankel. Medley sounded off when asked who she thinks gets portrayed most favorably on the Bravo hit reality series. “Do I need to answer that?” she said during a live appearance on Heather McDonald’s podcast “Juicy Scoop.” “It’s an obvious question, she gets edited the best,” Medley said of Frankel.
“Here’s the problem — we all are valuable women,” she said while throwing some subtle shade: “All of us have been successful, we all have been in love, we’ve lost love, we’ve raised children. I don’t want the audience to forget that our lives didn’t start on reality TV, like some of us, we had big big lives before that.”
She continued: “What about when she walks up to the driveway, she goes ‘I put the B in Berkshires?’ That’s my house, I put everything into the Berkshires, that is my s–t, my home, it is mine,” Medley said. “I think she needs to change her [logo] from #BStrong to #BNice!” said Medley.

1. Lala Kent Explains Why She And Boyfriend Randall Emmett Have Blocked Each Other On Instagram!
Lala Kent got candid and opened up about her romance with Randall Emmett. The Vanderpump Rules star confirmed that she blocked her man on Instagram, and explains the reason why she did it.
Kent revealed on The Tomorrow Show that she did this to protect her relationship. We have each other blocked on Instagram…ya, we're weird…because Instagram causes a lot of weird stuff and there's no reason for me to see what he's posting or what people are saying to him, and there's no reason for him to see what people are saying to me. It just causes unnecessary drama. Not that we've had it, because we've had each other blocked from the beginning… "
"In a sense he blocked me for something and I was like, you know what, this is real life. Apparently Instagram is affecting…we've been together for 2 years I can't even remember. We've had each other blocked for 2 years…and then I blocked him and I was like, two can play the blocking game. We were like 12 year olds…I think it was a comment about the show. About last season. I think it was like, there was a comment up about… just about us being together and like I said timing is everything and I don't feel like last season was the time, nor this season you won't hear his name either…There's no reason to bring his name up on Vanderpump Rules…you know if it was Lala Rules, dig on in, but that ain't happening…He and my mom follow each other."
