Marysol Patton On Her Mom: She Is Really Funny

Four weeks into Real Housewives of Miami, talks amongst the reality loving community are about everything from Lea Black’s no nonsense communication to Cristy Rice’s party crash. But the biggest standout so far is no doubt Marysol Patton’s mother, who she says is sure to outshine any of the wives.

"She is really funny!" Marysol told Niteside at the Eden Roc Miami Beach. "People love her. She says things and I’m just like, ‘Where does that come from?’ She never hurts anybody, she is just really funny. She will definitely be bringing belly aching laughter."

As we all watched the public relations powerhouse who owns local firm The Patton Group get engaged last week, she admits she wasn’t ever sure the show was meant for her. Or if Bravo even wanted her.

“I thought I was being punked the whole time. I thought they were just letting me film with everybody. I felt like I wasn’t really in it. I didn’t think I was fabulous enough to be in the gang. But in the end, I had fun.“

And she isn’t the only one who has benefitted from her time on TV.

"Also, I thought it would be great for my clients. I knew it would give them more exposure. I think they’re happy I did it now.”

Miami Housewives Reunion Will Be A Live Show

Bravo is taking its always unpredictable and often chaotic Real Housewives reunion show to the next level: A live telecast.

For next month’s Real Housewives of Miami reunion special hosted by Andy Cohen, Bravo will run the special live on the East Coast.

The Housewives reunion special has become the Mad Max Thunderdome of Bravo — Have a dispute? Housewives in conflict? Save it for the reunion! You remember last year the Housewives of New Jersey got into a headline-making red-faced brawl, then the ladies of Beverly Hills weren’t exactly civil during their reunion in January.

Watch What Happens: Live Miami Housewives Reunion will air on April 5 at 9 p.m. ET. (with a seven-second bleep delay, of course).

Andy Cohen: Miami Is the Last Stop on the Train

When Bravo launched the Real Housewives of Miami, it seemed like there was hope for a franchise in every city. However, Bravo’s Andy Cohen exclusively tells OK! that Miami is the last stop for the Housewives train. Last night, OK! talked to the host with the most as he helped celebrate MCC Theater’s 25th Anniversary in NYC. Andy sounded off on some of the most controversial housewives in seasons past and he even told OK! which franchise he would love to see Whitney Houston star in!

When asked about which city he would look to next to find more housewives, he told OK!, “I really feel like we’re done.” So is Miami the last stop on the Housewives train? Andy answered, “Yeah.”

But if any housewife thinks this is her chance to star in a spin-off series like Bethenny Frankel, she should think again. Andy explained of the other housewives, “I think they’re all good where they are.”

Even though he might think they should stay put in their hometowns, Andy had nothing but love for some of his favorite housewives. The king of Bravo used word association to describe the happy homemakers.

OK!: Camille Grammer

AC: Rich!

OK!: Teresa Giudice

AC: Strong!

OK!: Bethenny Frankel

AC: Hilarious!

OK!: Nene Leakes

AC: Bam!

Andy continued to gush about Miss Leakes, “She’s just in your face and fun!”

He then told OK! that he would also like to see Whitney Houston kick it with Nene and the gang on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. “I’d like to see her shake things up with those women.” Maybe she could team up with Kim Zolciak for “Tardy for the Party Part II”!

Lea Black Sounds Off On The Sarah Palin Circus

Real Housewives of Miami star Lea Black is trying to prove that the Bravo Housewives are good for more than just cocktails and catfights by getting political in a self-penned opinion piece posted this morning on the Huffington Post. Who's she targeting? Duh, Sarah Palin!

"Sarah Palin is the sideshow in the circus that everyone wants to watch, but that most people don't take seriously," Black told us when we chatted with her earlier today. "The Republican Party has become a circus and she's the sideshow act that everyone likes to laugh at, not with."

Black also thinks the Sarah Palin's Alaska star should stick to reality TV and stay out of politics, adding, "I think she makes for great entertainment, but I don't think she can be taken seriously for leading a country."

As for Black's onscreen drama with Bravo's newest group of Housewives gals?

"You're not going to see any table-flipping," she said. "But if you tune in tomorrow night you may see some pig-flipping."

Huh?! Black declined to elaborate, but we have a feeling it has something to do with a promo clip of housewife Alexia Echevarria's husband butchering a whole pig in the middle of their own kitchen.

You'd think they'd have the hired help take care of that.

Real Housewives of NY Premiere Date Finally Set

Get ready for more Big Apple drama, Housewives fans!

After a sudden schedule switcheroo in February that bumped the Real Housewives of New York City's fourth season premiere in favor of the Real Housewives of Miami's debut, the New York women finally have a premiere date.

Come April 7, Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon, Sonja Morgan and newcomer Cindy Barshop will be back on the air, the network announced via their BravoTV.com The Dish blog Monday.

"From the gang's glamorous jaunt to Morocco, to our already-favorite dig "thug in a cocktail dress" (delivered by the ultimate messenger, Alex McCord), to the Countess finding love again, the new season will definitely be worth the wait," the Bravo blog post read.

Brooklyn-based cast member McCord agrees, and tells Us Magazine fans should clear their calendars for Thursday nights.

"I think this is definitely the best season so far," McCord tells Us. "[But] there was no way they were going to get [editing] done in time."

The Real Housewives of New York City premieres April 7 at 10 p.m. (EST) on Bravo.

Miami Housewife Cristy Rice Talks Skincare

Let’s talk about health and housewives. Specifically: skin care and the Real Housewives of Miami.

Cast members in the Real Housewives franchise tend to fall squarely in the Women-We-Love-to-Hate category of pop culture – rare is the reality show character who doesn’t – but they’re not all big lips and tiny dogs.

Too their credit, the hausfraus of Bravo get some stuff right. 

Don’t believe us? Cristy Rice and Dr. Jonette Keri, a dermatologist with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, sat down to talk sun and skin.

As any society gal from South Florida knows: it’s a tough balance between having a beautiful, sun-kissed complexion while avoiding the look of shoe leather – or as Rice put it, the color of “orange-purple.”

So Keri and Rice share some healthy habits that can help you strike the right balance between enjoying the sun and protecting your skin.

…And in case you were wondering, those over sized sunglasses are, indeed, functional.

Cristy Rice Talks "Real Housewives of Miami"

Last week at the Eden Roc Miami Beach, Miami New Times got the chance to catch up with one of the Real Housewives of Miami, Cristy Rice - better known as the single mama/ex-wife of NBAer Glen Rice. And while she stayed a little tame, Rice talked about the show, the fact she is the only one with a job, and what its like to be an actual basketball wife.

Miami New Times: You and the ladies are the first Latina housewives. How does that feel?

Cristy Rice: It's one of the main reasons I did the show. I wanted to show the country a Latina woman, something that has never been done on Bravo.

Doing a reality show can either go really well or well, terrible. What made you want to do the show?
I said no a million times, but eventually no turned into a yes. I actually turned down the show a few times. 

You start of the show as a single lady. Do you have a man in your life these days?
 
I'm still single.

Is it weird to be one of the only wives with an actual job? 

I have had my clothing store for about 10 years and I just took it online. I actually just created a line of accessories and a line of workout wear, so I have been busy.

Bethenny Frankel turned Real Housewives of New York into a full blown empire. Is that a reason you did the show?

It was something that was already in the works, so it can't hurt, right?

What does your ex, retired NBAer Glen Rice, think of you doing the show? 

We talk all the time. He wishes me well.

Alex's Take on The Real Housewives of Miami

It's 30 degrees in New York City, so let's see whether the stars of the Real Housewives of Miami can heat things up ...

Before we even get to the credits, does anyone else think someone confused the wide-angled lens with wide-angled legs? But at least we know that everyone is completely bare – oops, wrong city. After the show before the show, we meet the ladies. So what did we learn, besides the fact that Marysol has a self-proclaimed witch for a mom? I can't wait to see more of Elsa! Housewives' moms with wine and inappropriate sexual questions are always welcome here.

Loved Lea's house and the story of how she met her husband, but why is she obsessed with collecting eccentric people? Is she bored with herself? We'll see. Larsa is beautiful and seemingly in love with her husband – and the other girls needed to give her a big break about staying out late. They have teenagers! Larsa has a 15-month-old and a few more under 10, plus she isn't divorced. The only thing I want to ask is that she please never say "funner" ever again. Oh, and don't shoot the nanny.

I wasn't sure about Adriana throughout the whole first episode – yes, it's Miami but I didn't quite buy that bravado. Turns out at the end of this episode, we hear that her husband had another wife and child (children?) tucked away in Brazil. Larsa piped up with sound advice – know the money, know the man, though a bit too late for Adriana. So does Ms. Bombshell act out in order to keep herself distant from other people? Just a theory – we'll see if that plays out in future episodes.

Alexia's seventeen-year-old son is going on a cruise with his girlfriend. Without mom. She says she's a little bit worried, naturally ... about ... his diet? I had a lot of questions too. Were they traveling with the girlfriend's whole family, with separate cabins (preferably on separate decks) and a curfew? I hope so. Let's not even get to the bottle service in clubs yet. If she is worried about his eating habits, she can start with explaining grass-fed beef.

Cristy met with a psychic, who told her that 2010 is going to be her year and she's going to meet Mr. Right. Now, we know this moment must have happened a while ago, which means we get to check out the psychic's accuracy. Did she meet him?

Marysol wins the award for the most shameless Housewives business venture plug to date, by writing her PR company name on the chef's hat at Lea's cooking party. In case you missed it, the ladies festooned their hats with "beauty queen," "head chef," "sex pot" and "The Patton Group." She forgot her Twitter handle. The only one to support Adriana's future lesbianism, Marysol is also anti-plastic surgery, or did she just mean before lunch? Well, knife or no knife, she looks like she's having fun. So much fun, she can't remember what day it is! I think I like her the best so far.

Are Miami's Housewives Worried About Editing?

Camille Grammer blamed her bad image on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo's tricky editing -- so are the women from the Real Housewives of Miami worried they'll fall victim to the show's editors too?

"I think you have to give people the material," Miami's Lea Black told reporters in a conference call, "And if they edit you ... I mean, as long as it’s in context, I don’t think you can blame anyone but yourself."

Black, a Miami socialite married to a criminal defense attorney, adds "No one can force you to say things that you say. Now if you’re making a joke and you’re saying something and it’s taking it out of context and put into a mean spirit then I might have an issue about the editing."

Black and co-star Alexia Echevarria say they haven't seen the final cut of the show yet, with Alexia telling reporters "it’s been a while, it’s been almost a year since we filmed but - so it’s going to be interesting."

Meet 'Miami Housewife' Marysol Patton's Fiance

In a preview for tonight’s premiere of the Real Housewives of Miami, PR maven Marysol Patton discusses her relationship with a Frenchman by the name of Philippe with her outspoken mother Elsa. The conversation progresses to the topic of sex which makes Marysol a little uncomfortable. With a little prodding Miss Patton states that this Philippe is:

“Fantastic in every way and that’s as far as I’m going with this conversation mother.”

In the series preview video released by Bravo we are shown this fantastic French lover proposing to Miss Patton with a huge ring. She says yes and in a recent promotional interview with NBC 6 out of Miami Marysol stated that she is, “still working on her engagement.”

After doing a little digging, Darren of Starcasm was able to dig up the identity and some bio info for this mystery man in Marysol’s life, Mr. Philippe Pautesta.

Pautesta has recently started a Twitter page in which, as of this post, he’s only followed by 5 people one of them being Marysol of course. Fab-Philippe is only following two people with one of them being his bride-to-be Patton. His Twitter account has a link to a PHP Enterprises USA and it is here where we get some solid background information on the Frenchman rocking Marysol’s world.

In the History section under Gourmand at Home Catering it says of the business and Philippe that:

“Gourmand at Home” is a catering and event planning service created by Philippe Pautesta-Herder. After spending years in Manhattan working in the Restaurant Business, Event Production and Landscape Design (With Cole Creates owned by Rebecca Cole from the TV show “Surprised By Design”), Philippe moved to Miami in 2004 and started PHP consulting, a boutique restaurant consulting firm.

In 2007 PHP Enterprises USA was born and expanded to catering consulting. Philippe then decided to combine his knowledge of the Food industry and his experience in production, and created “Gourmond at Home” a combination of fine dining and event planning.

Sounds like we have ourselves a match made in PR, consulting, catering and reality TV heaven! But then again the two are “still working on their engagement” according to Patton. You think theses two would have the planning part of that whole deal covered!
