    Awww poor baby. The likes of her overextension on her mortgage, and all those short sales (on which, remember, she 'still made money'), have dragged down my house's value by 50% or more over the last few years.

    Jeana's real estate business has fallen off a cliff. I don't think she will be on the entire series this season at her request. But if she is strapped for money, I know these women are paid something for appearing on the show. I remember a few seasons ago that she said she had purchased houses for each of her children - I'm guessing as a long-term investment. I doubt she paid cash for them - probably got mortgages and now is hurting.
    Hurting, as in foreclosure, if you google her. Jeana's not all bad, but there's something fundamentally flakey about a woman who blings like there's no tomorrow, brags on national television about how impressively superior she is, poorly parents three disturbingly disagreeable spawn, then tanks in the short space of a year. Who lives that way? She, like all the HW, is enormously entertaining, but flawed in every imaginable way. It's the WTF factor with these women that keeps a lot of us intrigued.

    Quote from August 17, 2009 TMZ
    "TMZ has two Real Housewife of Orange County stories up today and both continue to kill the dying fantasy of the lush, stress-free, “aspirational” life the Orange County housewives are supposed to represent.

    First up, Matt Keough, the ex-husband of part time housewife Jeana Keough pulled a Lindsay Lohan and was once again arrested for a DUI while rolling a stop sign in their gated community of Coto de Caza, where Jeana and fellow housewife Vicki Gunvalson live. This is his third DUI arrest. In season 5, we saw Jeana finally start to move on from her marriage to Matt, here’s hoping this DUI does not make it into Jeana’s storyline for season 6 and that she’s removed him from her life completely.

    Second we have newish housewife Lynne Curtin, the dopey, youth and fitness-obsessed housewife with the out of control underage drinking daughters. Rumor last season was that her sparsely furnished house in Laguna Beach was a rental. And guess what — we were right! Lynne and her husband Frank have just been served with a 3 day notice to vacate the premises. They owe over $12,000 in back rent and fees. TMZ says the cameras were rolling when they were served with a notice, so we will get to witness this lovely moment in the life of the Curtins in just a few months.

    Between the Gretchen and Jay drama, Tamra and Jeana going through possible foreclosure and now Lynne being evicted, season 6 of Real Housewives of Orange County is going to be a huuuuuuge downer. Vicki will be our only ray of sunshine. Woo-hoo!"

    On the bright side - the Curtin woman had more surgery on her face, and her new face looks fabulous!

    Please refresh my memory. Who's Jay? Is he the guy that Tamara was on the phone with?

    If Vicky is our only ray of sunshine then I am offically going blind. I remember Jeanna bragging about still makng money on short sales. I thought what a cold-hearted B*tch she was to take pride & joy at other people's hard times. Karma!

    LOL...I couldn't agree more. It's a sad state of affairs when SHE is the show's ray of sunshine!

    Re: The Real Housewives of Orange County

    Why is Gretchen with this slimey guy - I liked her last year but the fact she's with him shows her judgment is worse than lacking...

    'Real O.C.' Douche Owes $80,000 to Sick Son
    Posted Nov 4th 2009 12:40AM by TMZ Staff

    The only thing worse than owing nearly $80,000 in child support? When the kid you're allegedly failing to support is fighting an inoperable brain tumor ... but that's just how the Real O.C.'s Slade Smiley happens to roll.

    TMZ has obtained a letter sent to Slade's baby mama from the Department of Child Support Services last month, which states Slade owes her $77,356.75 in late child support payments ... plus 10 percent interest whenever he doesn't cut her a check on time.

    Slade filed a request in L.A. County Superior Court two weeks after the DCSS sent the letter, asking a judge to lower the enormous child support bill because he says he's unemployed and makes zero dollars. Slade's rep tells us Slade has "jumped through burning hoops to take care of [his child's] well-being and health."

    Slade's baby mama begs to differ, telling us Slade has only seen his sick 9-year-old son Grayson twice in the last year and a half -- and hasn't even sent the kid a birthday card.

    From what I've read he's the one who got her on the show in the first place. Getting him back on the show after her old guy passed away may have been the plan all along. I wouldn't put it past either of them.

    I too am disappointed in Gretchen dating Slade, especially after being told his deadbeat dad character has not changed but only worsened. I hope at some point Gretchen can stand outside the veil and see what Slade's true motives are - $$$$$$ and notoriety. It amazes me that Slade, and given his history would have the nerve to show his face on this show again; Narcissistic is his middle name! However, I still like Gretchen and I hope she puts Tamra in her rightful place. Better yet, I wished Tamra would exit the show altogether and ride off into the glue factory where she can share war stories with Lauri. My personal opinion is I think Gretchen gravitated toward the (lion in waiting), Slade, for the sole purpose of support and comfort during the peak of Tamra, Vicki, and Jay PhotoDUD's vicious, well-thought out direct attacks on Gretchen's character, for example the naked photos and all the allegations thrown at Gretchen. Man, the three of them really thought they had Gretchen over a barrel - but look who's talking now! Gretchen would have made even a greater statement had she left Slade out of the picture. Even so, Gretchen will be remembered – Tamra won’t.

    Tamra and Vicki are two extremely messed up, hypocritical people - just the thought or sight of Gretchen eats them both alive. Jeff leaving Gretchen all that money is a such a sore spot for both Tamra and Vicki. Vicki was already green with envy toward anything “Gretchen” but after Gretchen received that gift from Jeff, Vicki's head blew a gasket. What's worse is Tamra being in the financial mess she is in and having to watch Gretchen's supersede her with her spin off business (The Gretchen Project) as well as her charity work has probably left Tamra depressed and exhausted. Gretchen has truly far surpassed anything Tamra will ever accomplish and Tamra knows it. With all the so-called success Vicki has achieved, she should keep her mouth shut when it comes to Gretchen - her comments only peg her extreme insecurities. Vicki is one messed up lady!
