Real Housewives of Melbourne Fight During Filming Season 3

The Real Housewives of Melbourne began shooting earlier last month, with two housewives being demoted, and two new wives coming it, it looks like all hell will be breaking loose for our ladies down under. Janet Roach, one of the shows original cast members, confirmed rumors that a new wife would be debuting during season three. It also looks like this new cast member has no association with ladies.

“We don’t know who the new girl is, that’s why it is stressful.”

Last season we saw the debut of two new ladies, Pettifleur Berenger and Gamble Breaux. Both of these ladies certainly brought the drama, and really where both involved in the main storyline last season which was fighting each other. According to new reports by  Confidential, who spoke to Pettifleur Berenger, it looks like these two ladies are still going at each other. According to Pettifleur one of the main storylines during season three will be a fight between her self and Gamble Breaux.

According to  Pettifleur Berenger (which considering her flat out lying at last years reunion means we should take this with a grain of salt,) Gamble is making public claims that she was undermining Gamble, by “trying to steal her contacts for a book launch in Sydney.” Great it looks like Pettifleur will continue to promote her horrible book. Seriously, I attempted to read it and couldn’t…. it was that bad!

“Let me tell you right now, I wouldn’t touch Gamble’s contacts with a barge pole, I’m just not interested,” Pettifleur revealed to Confidential.

 

 

Although casting of the newest member of the Real Housewives of Melbourne hasn’t been official confirmed, our sources reveal to us that Susie McLean has been shooting for season three. What do you guys think of the continuation of book-gate-melbourne style during season three? Let us know in the comment section below!

Real Housewives of Melbourne: Gamble Throws The Best Shade at The Reunion!

On Thursday nights Real Housewives of Melbourne Part 2 Reunion, Janet Roach’s close pal Manuela Pless-Bennett joins the women to debate the “rumors” encompassing Gamble Breaux and to deal with their “aggressive” feud.

“Why are you so aggressive towards me once I see you,” Gamble asks Manuela.

“Why am I aggressive towards you? I’ve only seen you 3 times,” Manuela tells Gamble.

“And when, it has been aggressive,” adds Gamble.

“Why does one think it’s aggressive of me to defend my friend?” says Manuela.

When Alex asks Manuela if she thinks she’s been aggressive towards Breaux, Manuela merely responds:

“No. i believe i am terribly defensive towards my friends, i am terribly loyal and if somebody says one thing that i know is not truthful concerning any friends of mine, but particularly Janet, she’s terribly truthful and really honest.”

“Thank you Manuela,” says Janet.

Then, Gamble weighs in Manuela and Janet’s friendly relationship and suggests that Janet is better off while not having Manuela as a friend.

“You’re a piece of shit, i don’t like you at all” Gamble tells Manuela, leaving Chyka in shock.

When Alex asks Breaux a viewer question for calling Manuela the c-word, Gamble merely responds, “If the shoe fits, you gotta wear it.”

Manuela responds, “Whatever, offer me the c word, i do not give a s**t what she thinks of me honestly.”

Then, Gamble goes in for the kill and tells Manuela the following (get ready for some amazing shade!) ” Your pussy’s too dry to ride me this hard, Manuela”

Leaving the total cast in shock, whereas Manuela merely laughs it off and asks Gamble to repeat what she said.

“What does that mean?” says a confused Janet, “I’ll explain it to you later,” adds Chyka.

The Shadiest Moments from the RHOMelbourne Reunion

The Real Housewives of Melbourne Reunion Part Two aired last night, and what a shade throwing reunion it was! Its time to count down the top 14 shadiest moments of the Real Housewives of Melbourne Reunion!

Chyka Keebaugh Dishes on The Real Housewives of Melbourne Reunion

Chyka Keebaugh is taking to her Arena Blog to dish on this week’s reunion episode of The Real Housewives of Melbourne. Chyka Keebaugh opens up all about Part 1 of the reunion and responds to Gina’s agreeably comment. Chyka begins,

“And so it begins – part one of the reunion!

This is such a big day! We are picked up at 7am for hair and makeup in the studio and start on set at about 10.30am. We have a break every couple of hours, but didn’t leave until 12.30am – the next morning!!

We are all separated and only see each for the first time on set. For Gamble and Pettifleur I’m sure they were nervous and like us all slightly apprehensive. None of us know where the day will go and who will say what.

I am sure it is of no surprise to you – the reunion show is not the easiest day for any of us! It is so stressful, draining and so full of anxiety, I would love to skip it but I just cant. It is the one show that ties together the whole season and let’s us respond to opinions, accusations and discuss the issues that arose.

Sound like fun to you? I can assure you it’s not. I mean sure – the dressing up part is, but the slinging match, the walk outs and the bitching that ensues? No thank you.

After a small amount of chit chat from Alex, it starts with Gina’s book and the fact that she was releasing an autobiography. You can always rely on Gina to put a positive spin on her own achievements and we have been warned ‘pick on someone your own size, not someone bigger and smarter’.

I will have to remember that. Not sure I’m keen on picking on anyone at all but hey, that’s just me being a “fence sitter” as Gina so kindly points out!!

I would like to say though that I never received my invitation for the launch, although I do believe Gina when she said we were invited, however I was surprised to be sent a text uninviting me to the book launch on the recommendation of her publicist and publisher.

I totally understood that this was a Gina event and not about the Housewives, but do think it’s not a very nice thing to un-invite everyone – perhaps that should have been thought of before the invitations went out?

The Gina/Gamble love fest is hysterical! Gamble never believed she was like this until she saw all the footage put together. I love the fact that she is able to have a laugh at herself and I do honestly think there is a friendship there, and I am happy for them to have connected.

We are in a bizarre bubble when we film and we are together all the time so for Gamble to have found someone to confide in and help her deal with all that she did, at the beginning of the season is great.

Does Gina feel the same way about their blossoming relationship? I’m not sure, but who is anyone to doubt their close friendship.

Next we have a little wrap up of our two new girls! These ones certainly locked horns and when you see it all together – it really did make for awkward viewing. The “who” makes their own money story line, I found to be really annoying.

It was rude and totally uncalled for! Who cares where it came from or how you spend it, but it certainly made these two girls very angry. I found Gamble very articulate and measured when discussing this with Pettifleur, she explained her feelings very well and certainly kept her emotions in check.

I appreciated Pettifleur apologising to Gamble and hope now that is no longer a conversation.

I think for many viewers the package of Gina and Jackie may answer a few questions that people may have regarding the girls’ relationship and their fight in the last episode. I was so surprised to see Jackie cry as I knew that she and Gina had caught up and talked about how threatened Jackie felt at the party.

At the time of PFs party we don’t really understand her reaction to Gina, but I think that now we understand how vulnerable she felt. I do feel like Jackie and Gina are in the early stages of mending their friendship, and I also think Gina’s description of the relationship – The mother and the rebellious daughter, they love each other then they hate each other is spot on.

But who knows what will happen next season. There was a vulnerability to Jackie that we rarely see on the show and it was nice to see her softer side – something I get to see all the time. I also felt that Gina was genuinely upset for her too.

Pettifleur’s book Switch the Bitch certainly caused a lot of conversations and it’s great to see that it still makes everyone fire up! I don’t really understand why Gamble can’t let it go and allow PF to publish her book and work out the things that need to be sorted herself.

I don’t think she is being a friend and the interesting thing about the blow up between Lydia and Gamble is that none of us really ever did get to know Gamble as she really only ever talked to Gina.

We had a few lunches here and there but she never really spent any quality time with us individually. My dog walk with her seemed to cover the rumour drama and that is about all. Such a shame really, because I do feel a connection with her and think she is a gorgeous girl.

Gina seems to be frustrated that I have an agreeable personality, which therefore apparently means I have no friends! I don’t tend to tear my friends down – of which I have many Gina – thanks for your concern!

I believe in supporting people and therefore will back Pettifleur’s book, Janet’s tea, Jackie’s La Mascara and even her book if I had been invited! So I am sorry for my agreeable personality, it’s clearly annoying you.

I don’t fight with people for the sake of it- that is not my nature. Sure I get into disagreements with people – I am not afraid to confront and tackle important issues, but I am not someone who goes out of my way to hurt, belittle or argue.

It’s not my idea of a good time and it’s just not who I am. If I am in the wrong I will admit I am, and if I feel as though I am wronged I will do something about it. The show has also taught me so much about myself. I am stronger than I thought I was and I am a fair and kind person.

Sometimes staying quiet in a room full of noise is the best support I can offer someone. Amongst this group of girls it can be very hard but I am a calm, happy, level headed woman – I will never disrespect myself or my family.

The tension is still there and when Pettifleur starts talking about an incident that happened in Sydney. I was very shocked by PF’s reaction. Can I just say that on the night this happened, I had said to all the girls that I was having an early night, room service and a movie!

You can imagine my surprise the next morning when I heard all that happened. I wasn’t there so can’t say what did or didn’t happen, but I do know that if Gina and Jackie are agreeing on something then maybe that’s where the truth lays?

I was so surprised to see PF’s reaction to the drinking portion of the story as I think what she should have been more upset with was Gina calling her names and grabbing her arm!

What will happen next week? Will Pettifleur come back on set? What will I be explaining to Janet?”

What do you think about Chyka’s blog this week? And What did you think about the reunion!

Real Housewives Of Melbourne Star Pettifleur Berenger Slapped With Cease And Desist By Reality Star Omarosa

Pettifleur Berenger’s book ‘Switch the Bitch’ was a big topic this season on The Real Housewives of Melbourne. A few of her castmates question the similarities of her book title to original Apprentice reality star, Omarosa Manigault’s book ‘The Bitch Switch’

According to TMZ, Omarosa is now taking legal action. The website reports that the ‘Apprentice’ vet served Pettifleur Berenger with a cease-and-desist for her recent self-help book, “Switch the Bitch: My Formula to Being the Champion of Your Life, Not the Victim.”

Omarosa dropped her own motivational tome, “The Bitch Switch: Knowing How To Turn It On and Off” back in October of 2008.

Omarosa and her lawyer, Bradford M. Cohen, demand a full accounting of Berenger’s book sales, which they say “should not take long” — since it’s an “absolute bore to read.”

If Berenger doesn’t pull her book from bookshelves, then Omarosa is prepared to sue for $150,000 for each violation of her copyright.

What do you guys think about this drama hah!

Gamble Breaux : Tony Abbott Loves Me!

Tony Abbott knows all about housewives and not just the ones who do the ironing.

According to The Real Housewives of Melbourne star Gamble Breaux, the Minister for Women reportedly recognised her at Parliament House on budget night.

“I met the Prime Minister and he came up to me and said, ‘Oh Gamble, I know you, you’re famous somehow’,” Breaux told Fairfax Media.

The Sydney-born, Melbourne-based reality star met the Prime Minister in the member for La Trobe Jason Wood’s suite.

“Jason had some tickets to go into the public gallery and watch the Treasurer hand down the budget so we all put our names into a ballot and mine got drawn out. I went in while the others, some lovely people, potato farmers and real estate agents, stayed back and had a cheese plate and some drinks.

“Then we went to a dinner with Malcolm Turnbull, he sat down and had dessert with us then I went back to the Hyatt and had some more drinks.”

While the Coalition may have got offside with a number of its constituents in the past two weeks by accusing some mothers of rorting the welfare system, Breaux’s trip to Canberra for budget night, aka the Oscars for smart people, has ignited her passion to become a paid-up member of the blue-tie brigade.

“I vote Liberal but I spend like I’m Labor,” she zinged better than Bill Shorten. “I’m going to a dinner hosted by Julie Bishop soon so I’ll look into how I can become a member then.”

Breaux said the mood inside Parliament House following Joe Hockey’s speech was vibrant. Her take-outs?

“I’m really happy pensioners are not going to have their pensions cut and big offshore corporations here won’t get away with not paying tax anymore,” the star of News Corp’s Foxtel stated.

Despite 15 per cent of the Australia Council’s funding being redirected, Breaux, who works as a consultant for the Billich Gallery did not have a view on the budget cuts to the peak arts body. However, she’ll no doubt be keen to have a go and lend a hand to small businesses keen to invest in artistic tax write-offs in the coming months as some galleries are keen to do.

An avid animal lover and owner of Cash the Pomeranian also weighed in on Barnaby Joyce’s war on [Johnny Depp’s] terriers.

“In my opinion the best outcome would be that the dogs serve their time in Australian quarantine and rejoin Depp in 10 days. Johnny Depp should save his smuggling antics for the sequel of Pirates of the Caribbean.”

Gamble Breaux : Tony Abbott Loves Me!

Real Housewives of Melbourne stars Jackie Gillies And Gina Liano Made Up?

The Real Housewives Of Melbourne — Jackie Gillies and Gina Liano — have patched up their differences.

Confidential can reveal the two, who exchanged expletives throughout series two, sat down together after filming ended and sorted things out.

“Gina and I are in a good place now, which is really good,” Gillies told Confidential.

“A lot of stuff was happening off-camera after season one and following on to season two, and we didn’t really have an opportunity to sit down and air our grievances.

“After the season wrapped we sat down together and had a good conversation about things and we have moved on.”

While nothing has been officially confirmed, there is no doubt The Real Housewives Of Melbourne will be back for a third season.

Gillies thinks all the seven ladies — herself, Breaux, Liano, Janet Roach, Pettifleur Berenger, Chyka Keebaugh and Lydia Schiavello — all want to return.

“We all want to come back no matter what anyone says,” Gillies said.

“So you will probably see me again.

“I’ve actually really enjoyed the experience this year.”

Producers have left the door open to maybe replace one or two of the ladies with new cast members.

Watch for secondary cast member Manuela Pless-Bennett, who has a starring role with Breaux at the reunion that airs on Sunday night on Arena at 8.30pm.

The pair already have a feud going which could make for classic Housewives viewing.

The Season 2 Finale of RHOMelbourne Spoilers and Preview

Gamble Breaux: The Hardest Part About Filming This Year Was...

The Real Housewives of Melbourne has had one hell of a second season so far! This whole season however seems to revolve around one little lady, Gamble Breaux. From rumors of her wild sex parties, to being called a call girl, Gamble has had one rough entry into the Real Housewives Franchise. Gamble is taking to her Arena TV blog this week to discuss Episode 10 of the Real Housewives of Melbourne and what she thinks was the hardest part about filming the show.

Gamble Begins,

“Hi everyone,

It’s early evening and I’m blogging from Mount Eliza.

Rick is cooking dinner. Luke has brought his first “friend” over and I just discovered that the homemade dog food (brown rice, meat and veg) had been consumed by an unsuspecting family member. RHOM tip “label homemade dog food’.

On that note, time to pour a Pinot Noir, give the dogs my dinner and dish the dirt on episode 10.

1) The episode opens with Rick and I engagement ring shopping at Bensimon Jewellery in South Bank. We sit down with Ron. He gloves up and shows us some stones. I ponder as to why I haven’t owned a pear shape diamond. Probably because that’s the shape my previous relationships went! I decide not to verbalise this, because Rick looks nervous enough!

After a couple of financially humiliating rocks pass under our gaze Ron shows us a couple of diamonds that may just squeeze into our now humbled budget. Ron can see we are confused so gives me a couple of diamonds to show the girls on my hen’s night.

2) Chyka and her daughter Francesca have made enough room in Chyka’s closet to go clothes shopping. Chyka needs four new hats, matching suits, sunglasses and handbags. Francesca is not missing this opportunity to quietly plot a shopping day shakedown.

Time to make the pilgrimage to visit Fitzroy milliner Melissa Jackson.

Francesca bites her lip whilst doing the “mother guilt” math to find the right time to say. “Mum, may I get this”?

3) We then meet Georgina from Le Louvre, South Yarra. Georgina calls her dressing room “The Killing Pen”. I think most of the killing occurs when the credit card statements arrive home.

Georgina puts Chyka in a Victoria Beckham and finishes it off with a metallic colander hat. I realise why the producers have had zero interest in watching me shop.

Chyka walks out of the fitting room holding a miniature YSL bag in black BOOM!!!! Francesca has her target. Chyka has no chance! Francesca suggests it will be a good sharing thing and Bruce just bought his daughter a handbag. Ten points Francesca! Great bag and good timing!

4) Spring Carnival Fever has affected us all. Gina has chosen a softly feathered fascinator that makes her look like a slim, Italian Big Bird. I look like I fell off a wedding cake. Jackie has a large Chess piece glued to her head that looks extremely heavy.

Pettifleur and Lydia look like a pair of batman super villains. This is race day and yes, we all look bizarre.

5) Flemington Racecourse Birdcage.

The Lexus Marquee.

We fight the wind, the girls hold onto their hats and I manage to hold my skirt down on the media wall. The marquee looks amazing! The girls are in good spirits. I decide to take this opportunity to invite them all to my Cup inspired “Dog Races”.

Lydia is right up for it and her money will be on her Italian Greyhound “Figaro, Figaro, Figaro!!”

We exchange some cosmetic surgery stories then it’s race time!

I place a trifecta, chose the same numbers for Gina and gave her a ticket because she doesn’t gamble.

Our horses came in!! We both win! I have never seen a more stunned woman in my life!

Janet, Lydia and Pettifleur backed winners. Great day!

6) Circa St Kilda.

Pettifleur’s book gets the most glowing review…From Pettifleur! She has written a best seller…just ask her. I guess that’s the way self-help books roll, however, I have never seen PB express sympathy or offer help to anyone but herself. I feel bemused. The hardest thing about shooting RHOM this season has been listening to PB go on and on about her book.

PB is very excited! She has chosen one of the cities’ best venues for her book launch.
Janet, Chyka, and Lydia are very supportive. Janet has read her book and gives it a head nodding, foot stomping, dancing review. Yahoo!

Lydia loves the cover and gives the book she hasn’t read a floundering positive review. Lydia and I struggle to give the book a verbal synopsis…..Believe me, that was tough!

Saved! Saved by Jackie who arrives and tells everyone “she” looks couture. I think “Every One In Melbourne” is writing their own review. It’s a struggle to respect Jackie’s opinion considering she describes almost everything as couture in an obvious overreach for yet another painful catchphrase.

Jackie also loves the book and gushes what a great achievement it has been on PB part. I’m not convinced PB didn’t quickly whip up her own version of Omarosa’s ‘The Bitch Switch’ after watching The Apprentice. Especially after PB quotes Donald Trump in the promo for the show.

PB may be edgy by using the word bitch at every opportunity, but it’s lost on me. The girls get upset when I asked who was publishing PB’s book. Forgetting that PB had told us she was going to announce the publisher on the night as a surprise.

Janet is so offended she announces I’m trying to bring PB down. PB announces publishers take the message away from your book.

I struggle to get my head around the sacking of a co-author, the contents of the very small book and the narcissism behind the hype. A fight breaks out when Jackie steps in and condescendingly calls me Gina’s mouthpiece. I am astonished! I feel Jackie, Janet and PB are suffering from an epic case of collective narcissism.

I worked for a magazine before I worked for the gallery. That does not make me a Pulitzer prize winner, however it does give me a different perspective. The book could use some tweaking…… it’s time for me to go…stamp my exit urgent!

7) My sister Tempest has been staying with me for the past three weeks. We are best friends. She looked like she needed some sisterly love last time I visited her in Sydney so I asked her to stay and suggested a makeover.

Tempest underwent a lower facelift by two of Australia’s leading plastic surgeons Mr Malcolm Linsell and Mr Doug McManamny at “Cosmetic Surgery for Women” which is based in Melbourne. I wouldn’t let her go to anyone else.

Mr Linsell and Mr MaManamny’s work on my sister was absolutely astonishing. Rick was particularly impressed and spoke encouragingly to my sister as the swelling came down.

It’s the day of my hen’s night and it’s time for Tempest to come out of hiding.

Jacqueline Kalabe has been my makeup artist for 15 years. Kalabe is the queen of turning it up a notch and my sister is looking red hot!

Tempest has always been beautiful and has never had any cosmetic surgery. Not even Botox. She has been a devoted mother for 26 years so now it’s her time to shake off time and shine.

Tempest has had a speedy recovery due to the expertise of the two surgeons. The footage crosses to Tempest pre-op…. what a difference two weeks can make! I have my confident 30 year-old sister back! Yippee!

Time to party!

My Pomeranian Cash has been de-sexed to make way for our new little girl Wicket.

Wicket is on full papers and I hope to show her next year.

It’s the night of my Hen’s party. The theme of the party is Bond Girls.

Christa, Simone, Yvette and Karen arrive first followed by Lydia, Janet and Lisa Tonkin.

PB has dressed as a female 007 and I ponder that I must have spent too much time on Oxford Street in the late 80’s because Chyka looks like a hot leather lesbian to me.

I wait till everyone is seated. Then Luke brings Tempest out on his arm. Ta-dah!! The big cosmetic surgery overhaul introduced to my bemused guests.

 

OK, sensing that was awkward… I decide to bring out the two diamonds Ron from Ben Simon jewellers gave me to show the girls.

Lydia scoffs and makes the cutest cat noises having a… “My ring’s bigger than yours” moment.

She can stick it up her other ring! I don’t care, my partners hotter than your partner Lydia! Nah nah a nah na!!

The party seems to get better after a couple of cocktails and we start to relax.

Luke and I have a deep and meaningful on the lawn that would make his father cringe.

PB waves a plastic gun around and Chyka looks super sexy! Go Chyka! I spot Gina bopping and I feel that wonders will never cease.

I’m truly happy, until….Oh good! Topless canapé waiters! Male strippers! My heart sinks!

I’m shoved into a seat and the strip tease begins.

 

I’m not surprised Lydia, Jackie, Chyka decide I’m putting on an act. What else would they do, but undermine me and imply I am a rampant slut even though they have never witnessed any immoral behaviour on my part?

I don’t enjoy being sandwiched between two men, however, if I did I would not be ashamed of it. It’s too much, so I wriggle off my chair and give the other girls a go. Janet and Gina embrace the situation and the girls have a good laugh.

I try to explain to Chyka why I don’t like strippers, (whilst I quietly ponder that I would have been right up for a strip tease from her! Irony in that, right there!) My ex-husband was in the oil industry in Houston. Before we flew home to Australia to get married, the girls from his office took me to a male strip club called La Bears.

Texan girls are wild! The women were screaming and molested these guys. I was put on stage and subjected to some full on stuff that grossed me out. The strippers had prickly skin from shaving and had grabbed my hands and made me rub their oily bodies. I spent the next hour in the bathroom washing my hands. That is why I don’t like strippers.

Nothing personal.

 

9) My sister Tempest sits down with Janet to apologise for blowing up in Sydney.

Janet says she would have done the same thing if someone had done that to her sister.

Janet then flips it back to being my fault because, whilst Janet was the one who told me about the unsubstantiated rumours “on camera”, it wasn’t her who started spreading them.

They bury the hatchet. Though I think there was a moment where Tempest was tempted to bury it in Janet’s skull.

I love Janet’s ability to re-accuse me of having a shocking reputation in Melbourne at every opportunity. Think she must have been my mother-in-law in a past life.

10) Gina tells me she is trying to work out where the stripper rumours are coming from.

Oh good, another conversation about strippers! Make it Staaahp!!

Meanwhile Janet’s telling my eyes glazing over sister that she didn’t pass on the rumours… Gina tells me that part of the rumour came from my makeup artist. This is one complex theory and I join my sister in having a completely glazed over expression.

Gina tells me that she has been told my makeup artist does strippers, and that people connect things and live in a state of fantasy.

I then try to imagine Jacqueline in a strip club. Bit of a reach! It occurs to me that Gina thinks she is throwing me a lifeline, a way to get out of this sordid mess. I could just say oh yes, that must be the connection but it’s too far-fetched.

Jacqueline Kalabe has done my makeup since we worked on a TV commercial 15 years ago. Jacqueline’s work includes TV, Julia Gillard and high end fashion shoots. She has her own brush range! Looks like there may be some jealous makeup artist in Gina’s ear.

When I join Tempest and Janet, Janet launches into me. She feels I knew about the rumours and that I perpetuated them when I knew she didn’t make them up. Seriously! Lisa Tonkin looks like she wishes she had brought a real gun.

 

I go inside to get my puppy and Chyka brings out a box of sex toys. Go Chyka!!! I love the little pink cactus vibrator! Whoever pinched this from the party, I hope you think of me when you use it!

There are a bunch of toys I didn’t have a clue how to turn on or even open.

Chyka has an air of authority. She pulls out the squishy butt plug and we all have a good laugh. (The butt plug thing also went missing, and I don’t want to know where.)

On that note, time to snuggle in with Wolfe pup!

Bye for now, Hugs Gamble

Gamble Breaux: The Hardest Part About Filming This Year Was...

Jackie Gillies: Gamble Needed To Hear The Cold Hard Truth

Our favorite housewive of all time comes from the Real Housewives of Melbourne series, and she is none only then Ms. Shine Shine Shine herself Jackie Gillies. Jackie has become a break out star for the series over the past two seasons, and this season she proved to us how awesome she fucking is! Shine Shine Shine! Although we didn’t here this line as much as we did last season, it will go down in history as the best housewife catchphrase ever.

Jackie Gillies took to her Arena TV blog to discuss episode 9 of the Real Housewives of Melbourne, Jackie begins, ”

The Philippines getaway was a mostly tranquil experience! Before I continue, I’d like to make some things crystal clear.

At the drama filled Philippines dinner, it was after Gina’s constant tormenting of PF (this wasn’t the only time) for no reason, then Gamble diving in claiming Gina gives the “cold hard truth”, that tipped me over the edge.

I have no interest in Gamble and Gina’s relationship, but at that point I felt Gamble needed to hear some “cold hard truth” about what her friend had been saying behind her back.

First came denial, then eventually admittance. I cannot stand lies, especially straight to my face. Yes, my fiery Croatian side made an appearance, and I’m not proud of the way I conducted myself, but I’m only human, and I’m being 100% my authentic self. Upfront and honest.

Home is truly where the heart is and I felt relieved to be back! Most of all, getting to see my Benny. I missed him immensely. Ben is always a great sounding board for me, and he helps me bring challenging situations into perspective.

Congratulations to Lydia on her extremely couture home renovations. Ultra chic! Paintings, granite slabs, multiple dishwashers, electric draws, Italian candelabras. Hot!

I’m excited and proud of my friend to finally be launching her Raw Essentials tea range.

The light bulb moment to start a tea company was first conceived by Janet and Jake to coincide with the launch of the Roach Foundation to support other burns victims, not to mention Janet’s lifelong obsession with drinking exotic tea.

Janet has created inspiring premium products that I have personally tried and tested, and let me tell you, they are a winner. Great job guys.

Most importantly, I feel this project has helped Jake pull himself out of a challenging place after his tragic accident. I’m so proud of you both! Go and buy some of their life changing teas here.


Disappointing that the stupid rumours are BACK. Not the time or place. This is Janet’s and Jake’s night. Anyway, if they’re true or not, who gives a shit!

I was disappointed I couldn’t make Gina’s shoe launch, as I was interstate. Although we have our differences at times, I am proud and I truly wish her all of the success in the world. I will say this, the shoes are a true representation of Gina. Rhinestones for days. You go girl! Keep inspiring.

There was a sticky moment though. I have a feeling PF keeps pointing out the potential issue of the red soles to retaliate to Gina’s comments regarding PF book plagiarism controversy. I feel PF should have zipped it and supported the event, then have the red sole conversation in private.

La Mascara High Tea Garden Party, baby!

There’s one thing that La Mascara knows how to do, and it’s throw a KILLER party!

The High Tea Garden party was a gentle launch for our newest product, High Tea. Alcoholic ice teas. Nice combo, right?!

We’ve put a ton of hard work and love into our pin up girl inspired party and we think it looks incredible. The event also coincided with the announcement of the winner of the New Look of La Mascara model competition.

The competition was all about giving back. Giving someone a kick start in the modelling industry. Among the many awesome prizes, the winner gets $10K cash and a modelling contract… and the winner is *drum roll* *and an unsuccessful champagne opening* NATASHA!!!!

Check out our web series for all of the stuff #RHOMelbourne didn’t have time to film.
CLICK HERE to our web series.

Go and try our beverages! They are fabulous and they are made with love. You can buy all entire range at Dan Murphy’s nationwide, including the Lemon and vodka High Tea & White Peach and Vodka High Tea. We’re also VERY excited to say the White Peach and Vodka High Tea is now available at BWS nationwide.

How better to finish a #RHOMelbourne ep than a helicopter exit? Nothing.

Love you guys x

Jackie Gillies: Gamble Needed To Hear The Cold Hard Truth

RHOM star Gamble Breaux once again denies prostitute claims...and reveals why Gina Liano wants to leave the reality show

RHOM star Gamble Breaux once again denies prostitute claims…and reveals why Gina Liano wants to leave the reality show

Appearing on KIIS FM’s The Kyle And Jackie O Show on Thursday, host Kyle Sandilands asked her: ‘Now let’s get one thing right, you’ve never partaken in sex parties and prostitution, is that correct?’

The 43-year-old responded: ‘Correct,’ before joking, ‘I’m a very good amateur stripper at home.’

Earlier this year on the reality show, co-star Janet Roach confronted Gamble about stories she’d heard about the new cast member’s life pre-Housewives.

The blonde Pilates lover denied claims about her sordid past – but Janet refused to accept her denials.

With the duo often at odds, Janet also recently revealed she quit the show for a short time because of the fighting between herself and Gamble.

During one now- infamous scene Gamble unleashed a lethal comment at Janet, accusing her of having a sordid past of her own, saying : ‘I know a heroin addict who says you f**k for heroin.

‘I’ve got his NAME. So don’t f**k with me darling, I’ve done some research on you. I’m gonna destroy your life too!’

Catching up with Gamble on the radio show on Wednesday, Kyle and his co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson also asked Gamble if anyone was considering leaving the show now season two has wrapped.

The blonde beauty responded saying barrister and original cast member Gina Liano had expressed interest.

When asked why the acid-tongued professional might be ready to call it quits, Gamble said: ‘I don’t know, but it’s actually very expensive to do the show.

‘You know she’s taking time off work, especially the amount of money she can make as a barrister. So we’ll see. I’m fairly confident they’ll keep her, they’ll find a way to keep her.’

Shock jock Kyle quickly retorted: ‘Oh, I know what’s going on.

‘She’s crying poor and she’s saying, “Look if you want me to stay, you have to pay the barrister wages.” And I get it! Pay the barrister wages.’

Gamble didn’t agree with Kyle’s summation, saying, ‘No I didn’t say that, you’re putting words into my mouth, I didn’t say that!

‘I think the other girls are quite keen, I mean, it’s really fun doing this show.’

When asked if a cast member would be replaced, Gamble said she didn’t know – but hinted a change might be on the cards if producers thought it would help ratings.

‘I mean it’s the structure of the Housewives to turn over the cast, it’s as simple as that,’ she explained.

When questioned about the idea anyone who ruffled fewer feathers, like Lydia Schiavello or Chyka Keebaugh, would be in danger of being replaced, Gamble said, ‘Look, we’re there to entertain.

‘We’re chosen for our feisty natures anyway, so no one wants to watch you drinking tea.’

Gamble also confirmed that she herself love to return to the show.

Spoilers Recap for Real Housewives of Melbourne Reunion Part 1

AFTER 11 episodes of fights, facelifts and f-words, this week our Housewives descend on a TV studio for one final, glorious, two-part televised argument, adjudicated by Specsavers style icon Alex Perry.

Surely the best part of these reunion episodes is that, for the first time this season, we get a brief glimpse of each Housewife before they’re camera-ready. All, that is, except Gina, who we have to assume threatens legal action to any crew attempting to film her without her face on.

There’s Something About Janet. Source: Foxtel

CATCHING UP

Taking their positions on set, the girls warm up with a few previously unheard factoids about what’s been going on behind the scenes of season two. Lydia reveals that, such was the public backlash after her behaviour last season, she made a conscious decision to “totally turn herself around”, behaving politely and staying on the sidelines of most arguments. BOO. Not what we look for in a Real Housewife, Lydia.

Gina cheerfully explains that she invited, then disinvited, the other Housewives to her recent book launch, something that left them understandably perturbed. So why did she do it?

“They tend to put a negative spin on things and bastardise them … and if they did that [at my launch] I’d have to stab them.” Such is Gina’s unshakable self-belief, she now thinks the only appropriate way to deal with a hater is with a good old-fashioned stabbing.

Gamble goes into more detail about her frankly adorable speech impediment, which was the result of a childhood ear problem that led to temporary deafness as her speech was developing. As she shares her story, Jackie pulls her Trademark Concerned Face.

That looks painful, Jackie. Source: Foxtel

HATIN’ ON THE HELP

The other girls all admit that, throughout this season, there was one aspect of Pettifleur’s personality that never sat well with them: her continued disrespect of anyone in the service industry.

Pettifleur assures them all that, while she may treat shop assistants, party planners and her own house keeper like they’re dirt, “It doesn’t come from the heart. I have to talk tough to get some respect.”

Cut to the most amazing shot of Gamble staring wide-eyed directly down the barrel of the lens, as if telepathically asking the viewer, ‘You’re not really buying this, are you?’

THE NEW GIRLS

Despite being the two newest cast members, Pettifleur and Gamble didn’t bond at all this season. At every turn, Pettifleur has slagged off Gamble, both to her face and behind her back: She’s “dumb, dumb, dumb,” needs to “lay off the plastic surgery,” her taste is a “trainwreck”.

“Maybe I had a little bit of a go at her clothes and earrings, but it was all in fun,” is Pettifleur’s hella-weak justification for all this, as she insists that Gamble dubbing her ‘Nouveau Riche Barbie’ was a far worse crime. Gamble’s not having any of it:

“I thought it was a pretty light paddle back at you to call you nouveau riche. I didn’t insult your taste, I didn’t insult what you were wearing, I never took a slant at your intelligence. So excuse me, I think you covered a lot more in your insults. I gave you one in retaliation — a jab, compared to MOUNTAINS [of insults], every time I sit down with you, on and off camera, MISSY. You’re gonna get called nouveau riche, so just suck it up.”

BEST FRENEMIES

Pettifleur and Gamble’s arguments this season were child’s play compared to the blow-ups between Gina and Jackie. Usually erupting seemingly out of nowhere, they made for terrifying viewing. Jackie trying to smash open a glass door while screaming “F*CK YOU BITCH!” at Gina during last week’s finale surely ranks alongside The Babadook as one of the scariest sights committed to film in this country in recent years.

You’ll remember that, during that fight, Gina dismissed Jackie as a “bogan”. Jackie’s not happy about this:

“The bogan comment, I really find that insulting. I actually Googled it up [Yes, she said ‘Googled it up’, like your baby boomer Aunty trying to use the iPad she got for Christmas] to get the right terminology for what that means, and you’re actually putting down working class Australians: 80% of Australians and our viewers. I wonder how your lovely loyal followers would feel about you calling people bogans?”

Jackie, doll, this is Australia. You’re a bogan. Gina’s a bogan. I’m a bogan. We’re all bloody bogans. OWN IT.

PETTIFLEUR’S PAMPHLET

Pettifleur’s slimline novella Switch the Bitch again gets some airtime this week. As we’re shown ‘inspirational’ clips of Pettifleur talking about how miserable her life was BEFORE she’d discovered the benefits of switching the bitch, Gina turns to Lydia and mutters: “Did you get moved watching that? I wanna smack her.”

Gina has so far this episode threatened to stab and smack her fellow housewives. Source: Foxtel

Next up: a bit of light flamethrower action.

Asked to talk about why the book means so much to her, Pettifleur immediately breaks down. “I have put so much time, so much money, into this book, to get it out there SELFLESSLY for other women,” she says, through sobs. She’s clearly emotional — and yet her eye area remains conspicuously dry.

“It’s bullsh*t, there’s not a f*cking tear there! It’s all bullsh*t, she’s not crying,” Janet mutters.

Next we’re in for a dramatic reading of the book, which Pettifleur proudly reveals was edited by her 15-year-old son. Here’s a snippet — brace yourself:

“This book is written for women, by a woman who has gracefully discovered the formula for personal fulfilment and also for romance filled with fresh steps to the intoxicating dance of love.”

Gamble’s face suggests she won’t be buying a copy.

“Shall I keep going?” Pettifleur asks, and everyone pretends they didn’t hear. Gamble delivers her verdict:

“I had a look at it, and it doesn’t look finished. It doesn’t look entertaining. You’ve got your son editing it!”

“You know why, it’s RAW darling, it’s RAW,” is Pettifleur’s response.

WALKING OUT

Pettifleur reveals that some sort of heated incident happened behind the scenes between she and Gina recently while they were on the publicity trail for the show. As she tells it, the pair were having a fiery argument when Gina grabbed her, twisting her arm, and called her the c-word “four times in a row”. This is actually the Real Housewives version of saying ‘Beetlejuice’ into a mirror three times, so don’t try it at home. If you do, Andrea will appear and she won’t leave the house until she GETS HER APOLOGY.

For once, it seems everyone is actually on Gina’s side. Jackie interjects to point out that she witnessed the incident and it was hardly the brutal one-sided attack Pettifleur describes. Besides, she says, Pettifleur was “pretty drunk” when it all kicked off.

That’s all it takes for Pettifleur to deliver the first Dramatic Walkout of the reunion.

She clearly intends it to be a dramatic moment, but its impact is rather dulled by the fact that all the other women just can’t stop laughing in Pettifleur’s face. It’s all a bit like when you were a kid and you’d scream “I’m leaving home forever!” at your parents mid-tantrum but, instead of tearfully dropping to their knees to beg you to stay, they’d just breathe a gentle sigh of relief and continue watching The Bill.

“Byeeeeeeee” Source: Foxtel

“I don’t drink! I’m 50 and I’m skinny because I don’t drink!” Pettifleur yells as she storms off set (what a bizarre and expensive post-production choice, then, for the producers to have digitally inserted a drink into her hand in so many scenes from the past eleven episodes).

“Oh, OK — well, I’m nearly 50 and I’m fat and I don’t drink,” Gina chuckles.

Jackie sums up the mood of the other housewives over this little tantrum:

“What. The. Hell?”

Jackie, when this show’s over for the year, if we could still screen shot your every waking expression that’d be great.Source: Foxtel

Next week, the reunion wraps up: Pettifleur is coaxed back on set, Manuela’s on the couch just long enough for Gamble to tell her she’s a “piece of sh*t”, and at one stage the Capuchin monkeys operating Janet from the inside apparently go on a smoko.

People, please, hang your Janet Roach Halloween costume on a hanger to reduce wear and tear. Source: Foxtel
