Bravo has just wrapped up filming a three-part Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion special, which will kick off on January 30. The reunion was originally taped without one of it’s housewives, Kim Richards, who was undergoing treatment for substance abuse. Up until now, we didn’t know exactly what demons Kim was battling. Until now!

In a new interview that was filmed separately, Andy Cohen sits down with Kim and asks her why she checked into rehab. Kim answered, “I’m an alcoholic, I’m an alcoholic.”

Here’s what else is coming up in the reunion specials:

In part one, expect the ladies – Taylor Armstrong, Camille Grammer, Adrienne Maloof, Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump – to delve into the confrontation between Camille and Taylor at Lisa’s tea party, among other hot-button issues and feuds. And clearly there’s still bad blood among many of the women.

Kyle tangles with Lisa; Camille and Taylor rehash their issues (“She completely threw me under the bus,” Camille says, referring to Armstrong); and Lisa and Adrienne spar after Lisa is accused of selling stories to tabloids.

On the second part (airing Feb. 6, 9 p.m. ET), newbie Brandi Glanville joins the women to defend her controversial comments all season – only she seems to cause even more trouble.

“I was being bullied in a room and I had no friends,” she says, reflecting on a brutal game night in which she got into an argument with Kim and Kyle Richards. But it’s Taylor Armstrong who seems to have the most issues with her behavior, calling out Glanville for threatening the other ladies.

Richards’s dramatic sit-down will air last, and she will be joined by Dana Wilkey, another “friend” of the Housewives, to discuss the now-infamous game night in more detail. That will be followed by a “lost footage” special, airing Feb. 16, which promises to feature more footage from the fight between Brandi and Kyle at the tense Malibu beach party.

WATCH A PREVIEW HERE!

Looks like Bravo is going on a firing spree! After cutting half the ‘Real Housewives of New York’ cast, the network might be looking to do the same with their Beverly Hills franchise.

While Camille hasn’t gotten word she’s been cut, she certainly hasn’t been asked to come back, either.

“I had a good year so I would want to go back for a third season, but they haven’t asked me yet, so I wonder what’s going on with that,” Camille Grammer told me. “I guess they decided who they want and I guess they are going to start casting, looking for new housewives. They told me they were going to start looking so it wasn’t behind my back. They were like, ‘Sorry we are doing a big casting call.’ I was like, ‘Thanks.’”

Camille admits the decision is hurtful, but understands why the show might need to change things up after an emotionally grueling season dealing with the suicide of Taylor Armstrong’s husband, Russell Armstrong.

“When you watch the scenes between Taylor and Russell it is uncomfortable,” Camille told me. “It’s very uneasy and I think some of the viewers feel that way. I’m glad that some of our viewers are coming back around and joining the season and our viewership is up. We took a little dip because of what had happened and I think we are on a upswing so that is really positive.”

Co-star Kyle Richards told me yesterday that she, like Camille, would like to do another season but was focused more on making sure her sister, Kim Richards, who has just left rehab, gets better.

I think it’s a good idea to switch it up – bring on new “talent”. This year was a bit hard to watch (but of course I still am) with all Taylor’s going through, and Kim obviously having some sort of nervous breakdown. Maybe these women don’t belong on TV. Or maybe they should just get rid of Kyle. I find her self-righteousness sooooooooo annoying!

The ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ and ‘Beverly Hills’ are by far two of my favorite shows. I know, I know, that must say something about me. I think I just work so much – and my stress level is usually running at the SEVERE level – that when my day finally comes to an end, all I want to do is escape with mindless entertainment. This show is about as mindless as it gets. It’s so bad it’s good!

Can’t wait for this season! Looks like it’s gonna be a doozy!

Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa and Joe Giudice are in hot water…. again!

Well, I should say Joe. A guido never learns.

On Tuesday, a grand jury in Passaic County, N.J., handed down a two-count indictment against Joe Giudice, a former developer. The charge includes one count of wrongfully using identifying information of another, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, and one count of impersonation, which can carry up to 18 months in prison.

The indictment alleges that last year, Giudice used his brother Pietro Giudice’s information, including a marriage and birth certificate, to obtain a driver’s license at the Paterson, N.J., department of motor vehicles. His own license had been suspended at that time following a DUI.

In an interview last spring, Joe, 40, denied any wrongdoing, saying that he and his wife, who also weathered a contentious bankruptcy before withdrawing the claim earlier this year, were targets because of their notoriety from the Bravo reality show.

“They didn’t even catch me driving,” he said at the time. “They came to my house and said you’re driving with your brother’s license and then they got me with some kind of stupid charge.”

Calls to a lawyer for Joe were not immediately returned. A rep for Teresa, 39, declined to comment at this time.

Oh my gosh – he’s such an IDIOT!

After watching the way Teresa acted on the reunion special – I say she probably deserves all this. She is soooooooooooooo unbelievably horrible! I’m sure the other castmembers are laughing their heads off this morning.
