Here at CollegeCandy, we’re suckers for a good trashy reality show. Which is why I’ve decided to highlight my favorite trashy reality franchise: The Real Housewives. It’s the The Hills in 30+ years, chock full of cougars, bubbies, designer clothes and countless bottles of Pinot Grigio. What’s not to love? Well, besides annoying-ass Vicki Gundelson…
Since I just spent 8 hours on a beautiful Sunday mesmerized by these “ladies” (the jury is still out on Kelly’s gender at birth), I’ve decided to count down the top ten best moments in Housewives history. Which, mind you, was incredibly difficult to narrow down. (Sorry there’s not enough Atlanta loving in the mix; I’m not up to date on that series.)
Did I miss one? Let me know your favorite Housewives moment in the comments. But for now, kick back, relax and relive the moments. Read More »

While her feud with Bethenny Frankel heats up on Bravo’s ‘Real Housewives of New York City,’ off-screen Jill Zarin has pushed the backlash aside to promote her debut book, ‘Secrets of a Jewish Mother.’ Co-written with her mother, Gloria Kamen, and sister, Lisa Wexler, ‘Secrets’ shares practical advice on everything from fashion and dating to money and motherhood.
This season of ‘Housewives’ has taken the fight between former best friends Bethany and Jill to a new level. “I keep getting judged on behavior I may have done already. I sort of wanted to let people know I have tried and I’ve been trying for six months. Should I bawl my brains out? What do you want me to do?” says Jill.
Jill sat down with PopEater to spill her thoughts on being snubbed from Bethenny’s wedding, celebrity parenting and what to expect from the rest of this season of ‘Housewives.’ See what she had to say here.

Life isn’t black and white. As much as we wish we simply loved or hated things, there is often that whole annoying gray area in the middle. Like how we love the idea of a monokini, but we just don’t know if we can pull it off. Or how we love making money babysitting, but hate giving up a Saturday night. Damn you, gray area; you make decision-making that much more complicated!]
Anyone who knows me knows not to call on Tuesday nights. Not only is it Biggest Loser night, but it also happens to be the best night of my week because of one thing only: The Real Housewives. I don’t care if they are from Orange County, Hot-lanta or New York, I can’t get enough of these women.
Yet now that The Real Housewives of New Jersey are on the (polluted) horizon, I’m starting to feel a little confused inside about my love for couture catfights and $16,000 handbags.
Yes, ladies, I’m torn. It’s time to break it all down. Read More »
