Meet Orange County's New Housewife!

It’s been relatively quiet on the Real Housewives front, what with the franchise taking a rest this month before Atlanta storms onto our televisions in a flurry of hair weaves and “BAM!” shouts. Today, however, we have news! Bravo has unveiled the new housewife joining our Orange County bitches, and surprise surprise — she’s a blonde. Her name is Alexis Bellino, and the bad news for Tamra: she’s only 32. That doesn’t make Alexis the youngest of the pack (that honor goes to Gretchen), but it certainly will undermine Tamra’s self-anointed title of “The Hottest Housewife.” And that can only mean one thing: more cattiness.
Yes, I can’t wait to see how Tamra and Vicki eviscerate their new frenemy. Chances are bitter attacks will ensue, followed by vicious cackling and self-righteous indignation. But before that all happens, let’s learn a little something about Alexis. 1) She’s a stay-at-home mom with three kids. 2) She’s originally from Missouri, and moved to California seven or eight years ago. 3) She’s a divorcé. 4) She’s very social. 5) She seems to have significantly less sun damage than Tamra, whose clavicle is starting to resemble the hide of a cheetah. Sounds promising!
Of course, the big question is whether or not Alexis will be replacing longtime stalwart Jeana Keough. Zap2It says no. The Orange County Register says yes. Intrigue!
