Tamra Barney: Shedding Pounds With Sensa

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney has dropped six pounds in a little over a month with the help of Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stranger!

And Barney dished to Radar Online on her no-starvation spring slim-down.

Barney didn't like what she saw earlier this year when she noticed bikini picture of her splashed across the pages of a magazine during a recent Mexico vacation with boyfriend Eddie Judge.

There was no doubt about it: She was packing on the pounds!

And love apparently was the cause of it all.

"Usually when you are happy in love and comfortable in a relationship, you tend to gain weight, or as I like to call it, love chub," Barney said, adding that she and Judge put on 10 pounds since the start of their relationship.

The blonde beauty added she was told about the SENSA Weight-Loss System from Patti Stranger, who herself lost 25 pounds on the plan.

And Barney liked it well enough to hook on Judge, who started the men's program.

"With the summer right around the corner, Eddie and I want to be in top shape, but we still want to enjoy weekend getaways and eating out," Barney said. "It's the ideal weight-loss system because it helps control our appetite without restrictive dieting."

Tamra told Radar that she also has been hitting the gym hard.

Gretchen, Victor Paul Team Up To Help Grayson

Gretchen Rossi is tired of the Slade Smiley child support news reports that are erroneous. Now Gretchen and the man who does her incredible hair, Victor Paul, are teaming up to help Slade’s son, Grayson. In recent weeks, both on Real Housewives of OC, Watch What Happens Live, and elsewhere, there have been a series of negative reports about Slade and support for his son Grayson.

Rossi tells news that there is “one person in particular” who is spreading the false reports. Who is it?

“Unfortunately the press and one person in particular have perpetuated this very difficult and frustrating situation for Slade” Gretchen tells news this week. “The press and people stating that Slade is a deadbeat father are ridiculous” Rossi adds. “Just because a man can no longer pay $4,000 a month in support due to loss of a job and financial hardship does not make him a deadbeat father.”

Gretchen leaves Bravo fans to figure out which person is saying this about Slade. But she adds “It has become apparent this story is being told only through one person’s eyes so it can benefit only them, not even taking into consideration how it is affecting Grayson’s health, recovery, and relationship with his father.”

Rossi, however, has her own plan.

In recent episodes, Slade has debuted on the telecast his love of painting. Now Gretchen tells news that she has encouraged Slade to put his paintings to get use. In a statement to fans and news this week, Gretchen reveals she has teamed up with the Victor Paul Salon, often featured on Housewives, to help assist Grayson.

“With that said the Victor Paul Salon and I have decided to put together a charity event in honor of Grayson and help raise money to continue to get this little guy the attention and care he needs.” Rossi tells news that the charity event (click here for details) will feature Slade selling his paintings to help for Grayson’s care.

OC Housewife Alexis Bellino Talks To Dr. Drew

Earlier this week, Real Housewives of Orange County star Alexis Bellino revealed that she has struggled with an eating disorder. Following her admittance of the disorder, she spoke with Dr. Drew in an effort to set the record straight.

Bellino spoke about when the disease began, and sited that it was what was "eating her" not what she was eating that became the problem. At 12 years old her parents divorced and her inability to control the situation was one of the major reasons that she began purging. She also went on to say that gaining a few extra pounds in college only escalated the issue. When she realized that a friend was also doing the same thing, she continued on. She admitted to starving herself, binging, purging and even using laxatives.

It wasn't until she sought out help that she was able to get to the root of the problem. She began seeking the advice of a counselor and after her mother physically brought her to get help. Alexis Bellino admits that the battle was long and took many years to overcome, but that today she is happy to be healthy and in good spirits.

Is Vicki Gunvalson Flaunting New Man Meat?

Somewhere, we know Vicki Gunvalson from Real Housewives of Orange County is yelling out her signature "Woohoo!"

After filing for divorce last October from Donn, her hubby of 16 years, who appears on the show, it seems the Bravo reality star is ready to move on. To a dude who looks just like Donn!

This week, a smiling Gunvalson and her new man were spotted shopping at the Faith Connexion store on Melrose, "laughing, flirting and sipping champagne," a source tells us.

But is "The O.C. O.G." really ready to go public with a new romance?

"No, we are not dating. He is just a friend," she tells E! exclusively.

However, a source from the store dishes to us that Gunvalson was introducing the man, Brooke Ayers, whom she met through work, as her boyfriend.

"She said they have been friends for a long time. She was raving about him and says he lets her be her, they have a great time together and she feels lucky to have found him," the store source reveals. "She was so sweet and seemed to be in love."

The two sipped on champagne in the trendy clothing store while Vicki picked up a white off-the-shoulder butterfly dress, which the source says she planned to wear to the reunion show, which is taping this week.

"Vicki also picked up four 'Faith' hats and Ayers picked up the entire tab for her purchases," adds the savvy source.
