Lisa Hochstein joined the second season of The Real Housewives Of Miami, and shared her personal struggle to conceive with viewers.  Going into season three, the self-proclaimed “professional housewife” is game to keep the doors open on her storyline.

“We’re [she and husband, Dr. Lenny Hochstein] always actively trying, but we’re not pregnant yet,” Hochstein told Wetpaint in an April 25th interview.  ”Going forward though, everyone will continue to see my journey. We want to get this done and we’re really at our wits end.

“Going into another season of the show and being in the exact same situation as last year is incredibly frustrating,” Hochstein continued.  ”But then again, that’s life. I may be on TV, but at the end of the day, I’m a real person with real problems.”

Two questions:  Who watched last season, and who will tune in for season 3 of The Real Housewives Of Miami?

When you’re Joanna Krupa, you want to be showing off your best assets during the biggest day of your life.

That’s exactly what the Real Housewives of Miami star was thinking when she was trying on wedding dresses at Chagoury Couture in Beverly Hills, Calif., this Thursday.

While sampling the boutique’s array of bridal gowns, the 34-year-old made sure she hitched up her dress to show off her legs for days.

It certainly looks like fiance Romain Zagois in for a treat.

After calling off her five-and-a-half-year engagement last November, Krupa exclusively told Celebuzz that she reconciled with the club maestro after her mother had her beau fly to Los Angeles to have a sit-down with the bride-to-be.

“Being apart from him for two-and-a-half weeks … I was basically devastated,” she said. “The only person I knew was really hurting inside was my mom. She’s like, ‘I can’t really watch this any longer. You guys love each other. You guys need to work this out.’”

Don’t worry, Mama Krupa. They’re almost down the aisle!

For The Real Housewives, happily ever after more often than not ends in divorce.

That’s what the numbers prove of the trend that’s taken over the famed Bravo franchise. More than half of all the current cast members on the six series under the Bravo franchise — New York City, New Jersey, Miami, Atlanta, Orange County and Beverly Hills — have been divorced at least once, according to the calculations over at Buzzfeed.

But Andy Cohen, Bravo’s executive vice president and Watch What Happens Live host, rationalizes the series’ split-up statistic as a representation of the state of marriage in the country.

“I think it’s a phenomenon among America,” he told Celebuzz at the Bravo upfront event in New York City. “The divorce rate is 50 percent and about 50 percent of the Housewives have gotten divorce. So I think we’re a reflection of what goes on in America.”

But upon closer look, Buzzfeed found that frequetly-reiterated figure is in fact far off, as the nation-wide rate is actually lower. In fact, the Housewives divorce rate — 51.3 percent — is nearly double that for average American women at large, which currently stands at 22.4 percent.

The trend has hit headlines recently, as Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Porsha Stewart became the latest of the Bravo franchise to announce her marriage is heading for divorce. The breakup comes on the heels of two other Housewives heading to splits-ville in the past few months — New Jersey’s Dina Manzo separated from husband of seven years, Tommy Manzo, and Bethenny Frankel, formerly of the New York City cast, filed for divorce from her second husband, Jason Hoppy, in January.

Though the cold, hard numbers can be grim, Cohen put a positive spin on the situation as he speculated if the spotlight may play a part in pushing Housewivesto divorce.

“I think what it does is accelerate any problems that exist, because people have opinions about their problems and they’re voicing them,” he explained. “I think a lot of women find great strength by doing the show and they feel like, ‘Wow, I can do this.’ It’s an interesting phenomenon.”

A new year, but the same drama continued on Part 2 of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Miami’s reunion!

South Beach sizzling sirens Lea Black, Adriana De Moura, Lisa Hochstein, Joanna Krupa, Marysol Patton, Ana Quincoces and Dr. Karent Sierra continued to discuss with host Andy Cohen the drama and chaos that surrounded this past season.

Part 2 of the special gave shocking vindication and revelations for some of the housewives.

Here are some of the heart-pounding moments from the special.

Mama Elsa knows Madonna!: Andy asked Elsa about rumors she was the pop legend’s spiritual advisor. Elsa admitted she knew the Material Girl through a mutual friend and at first rebuffed Madonna’s request to see her! Elsa finally relented after Madonna sent word she would cancel everything she was doing to see Elsa. Who knew Madge caved for Elsa?!

Karent’s controversial article was a hoax: All season, viewers and the perky dentist were subjected over and over again to the accusations that Karent trashed her co-stars in an interview. Karent revealed the reporter admitted on Twitter (of course!), the comments were were false and were taken from a conversation the reporter made about the women herself!

Alexia has a past with Karent’s ex: The Cuban bombshell stated she knew Karent’s lothario ex Rodolfo when he posed for her magazine’s cover. Alexia also admitted Karent’s former beau visited her son Frankie, while he recovered from his accident, but Karent didn’t.

Adriana regretted her altercation with Joanna:Viewers never would’ve expected the fiery Adriana to feel any remorse for the nasty fight she and Joanna shared at Lisa’s lingerie party. Adriana told Andy she was appalled by the attack she unleashed against Joanna and apologized for being physical with the outspoken model and wished she never took things so far.

Lisa never stripped: The bubbly blonde was plagued with rumors she met her plastic surgeon husband Lenny in the romance capital of the world, Las Vegas… while she was a stripped. When asked by Andy, Lisa scoffed at the notion and confessed she did meet Lenny when she modeled in Sin City, while she was in a three-year relationship.

Buzz Moments:

OMG!: Lisa going off on Alexia, Ana and Marysol for not allowing her to talk and defend her actions surrounding their Bimini trip confessional about Karent’s ex- Rodolfo. Good for her!

Thank you, TV gods.: Mama Elsa commenting the women’s energy was false and their remarks weren’t genuine. Tell ‘em, Elsa!

Awk-ward: Andy grilling Alexia over her son Peter’s involvement in beating a homeless man and filming it. The women looked as though they wanted the ground to open up and swallow them whole.

Hotness: Alexia’s deep plunging black dress. She stole everyone’s thunder in that number!

Fab-u-lous: Andy finally being able to lay down the law and bring some order to the reuion.

Can. Not. Wait.: To see what mayhem Season 3 will bring with the ladies.

Should the women leave Karent alone? Should Adriana and Joanna finally bury the hatchet? Sound off below!

Even though The Real Housewives of Miami’s second season has ended, the fireworks didn’t courtesy of the reunion!

Red hot Miami minxes Lea Black, Adriana De Moura, Lisa Hochstein, Joanna Krupa, Marysol Patton, Ana Quincoces and Dr. Karent Sierra reunited and relived all the highs and lows of the sophomore season with host Andy Cohen. Part 1 of the reunion zeroed in on the current status of spitfires Adriana and Joanna’s relationship.

Here’s some of the top eye-opening moments of the night.

The mystery behind Elsa’s face is solved: Anyone who watched RHOM wondered what happened to Marysol’s eccentric mother’s face. Viewers saw photos of Mama Elsa and were left stunned as to how radiant she was in the past and how she looked today. Andy finally asked Marysol the uncomfortable question of what happened to Elsa’s face. Marysol revealed her mother received botched eye lifts in the 80s and her face was never the same (no kidding!). But, it was the only thing she had done to herself. Marysol, really? Ana chimed in and said she thought Elsa was a victim of silicone injectables being placed in her face before they were commonplace. We’ll go with Ana’s answer.

Adriana and Joanna’s feud resumes: So much for the truce these ladies made. When we saw Adriana and Joanna on the last episode of the season, the women appeared to bury the hatchet and moved on from their epic fight at Lisa’s lingerie charity event. Both Adriana and Joanna’s claws came out when Joanna discussed with Andy that her relationship with Romain was over. Adriana butted in and alleged the two busted up for the publicity, since they broke up before the reunion taped. Joanna claimed Adriana was jealous she was in the press more than the Brazilian bombshell.

Things took a nasty turn when Adriana and the former Dancing With the Stars contestant accused the other of being racist after the divas slammed the other’s homeland. Adriana insisted she regretted her comments and apologized, while Joanna claimed the remarks that were made were done by her ex, Romain. Both ladies need to cork it with the nationality cracks and stick to digs about behaviors like everyone else.

Lea and Ana face off:Who would’ve predicted these two would butt heads? Throughout the entire reunion, both Lea and Ana couldn’t stop the snips at each other. Plus, Ana was constantly swiping at Lea’s age. Ana remarked Lea always trashed others behind their backs, but pretended otherwise when in person. Lea maintained she never acts fake and what you see is what you get. Ana was the one trying to be relevant with the constant nasty thing she said. Is this the beginning of a new feud for Season 3?

Karent left Rodolfo: Were the Mayans correct and the world did come to an end? The perky dentist admitted to Andy once she returned from her trip to Bimini, she made the choice to end her romance with her telenovela beau Rudolfo. Karent claimed she was too focused on her father’s health to worry about relationships and dissolved hers. When Andy asked Ana about the infamous claims she made about the steamy text messages Rudolfo sent, Ana insisted she wasn’t lying and thought Karent was too good for Rudolfo. Karent stated she had to go with her gut and not with what everyone else said about her ex — she wanted to decide her own fate. OK, Karent, keep sticking your head in the sand and see how that turns out…

Lisa’s no cheerleader: All season long, viewers saw Lisa stay impartial when the catfights between the other ladies brewed. During Adriana and Joanna’s umpteenth argument at the reunion, the model attempted to chastise Lisa for not sticking up for her. Lisa fired back, saying she jumps in when it was warranted, and will not back someone just because she was friends with them. Right is right, Lisa cried. And if you are right, she will defend you. But if you aren’t, she will call you out. You go, Lisa!

Buzz Moments:

OMG!: Ana saying Lea’s only became important because she “laid on her back.” Can anyone else feel the burn?

Thank you, TV gods.: Andy calling out Adriana for her meltdown over Karent tweeting a pic of herself with the renowned Miami artist. Karent tweeted a picture, she didn’t steal a family secret, girl!

Awk-ward: Andy bluntly asking the housewives what work they had done. You could hear a pin drop when the question was relayed.

Hotness: The reunion wardrobe the women wore.

Fab-u-lous: Lea’s $25 million-dollar earrings. The woman is wearing someone’s net worth, and working it like a true society dame!

Can. Not. Wait.: To see what set Lea off on Part 2 of the reunion and get the tea Alexia Echevarria spills.

Dr. Karent Sierra stands by her man once more on Thursday’s season finale of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Miami.

Throughout the entire season, Karent fought off allegations her telenovela hunk boyfriend Rodolfo Jiménez was stepping out on her. The perky dentist insisted Rodolfo only had eyes for her. Ana Quincoces, Adriana De Moura, Marysol Patton and Alexia Echevarria were just stirring up drama Karent declared. If only Karent’s diagnosis were true.

Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched Thursday’s episode, “Healing Hole.”

The women returned from Bimini rejuvenated and energized to get their lives in order. Both Marysol and Ana decided to pull the plugs on their failed marriages, while Joanna Krupa received another proposal from her beau Romain Zago. The club owner apologized for the hurt he caused Joanna, and wanted to start over.

Romain presented Joanna with a new engagement ring and matching necklace. An emotional Joanna accepted his gifts, agreeing it was time they worked things out.

Adriana announced to her son Alex that she and Fredric were planning to get married. Alex snarked at his mom, saying Fredric never asked for his permission. In the end, Alex told his mom he was happy for her.

Joanna and Lisa Hochstein stopped by Lea Black’s office to catch up. Although the women bonded with Karent in Bimini, they couldn’t help but wonder if the good doctor lived in a fantasy world about Rodolfo.

The ladies were dumbfounded over Karent’s continued trust in Rodolfo, especially after what was written about him. Joanna and Lisa informed Lea that when they confronted Karent about the article, she claimed Rodolfo was just doing press. Lea was stunned by how naïve Karent could be. Is Rodolfo two-timing Karent?

Karent’s mother revealed Rodolfo had called her nonstop, while Karent’s dad was ill, to tell her not to believe all the negative media hype surrounding him. Karent told her mother she believed her man. He’d done press before, and she’d always known about it beforehand. Mama Sierra wasn’t buying what Rodolfo was selling.

Later, Rodolfo professed his love for Karent via the Internet. He maintained his heart belonged to her, and the interview was simply to hype his soap gig. Was Karent letting her friends fill her head with bad thoughts about her guy, or was she playing the fool in a real-life novela of her very own?

Buzz Moments

OMG!: Elaine Lancaster showing up to Marysol’s party. After their tiff, who thought those ladies would boogie on down together?

Thank you, TV gods.:  Lisa convincing Karent to look for a new man. Clearly Karent needs to take a hint and trade in her old guy for a new reliable one.

Awk-ward: Joanna putting Marta on the spot about accepting her engagement to Rodolfo. What a way to put  someone in the hot seat.

Hotness: Adriana’s dress at Alex’s recital. Forget the kids playing the piano, THAT was a showstopper!

Fab-u-lous: Marysol’s party. The event was over the top and gaudy.. A true South Beach affair.

Can. Not. Wait.: The reunion! It isn’t a true “Housewives” reunion without a catfight.

Dr. Karent Sierra, Lea Black and Marysol Patton visit denial island on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Miami.

The women of RHOM sure know how to crush a vacation. Last week, Alexia Echevarria destroyed Karent’s bliss when she revealed her beau Rodolfo Jiménez  had  a current relationship with someone else. Karent refused to believe what she was told, unless Alexia saw with her own eyes, Dr. Karent wasn’t about to call a time of death on her romance. Is Karent living in a fantasy world?

Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched “Surrounded by Hot Water.”

A day after Alexia spilled the tea about Karent’s boyfriend, the perky dentist still denied anything was wrong with her relationship. Karent remained firm that Alexia, Marysol Patton, Adriana De Moura and Ana Quincoces  wanted to see her hurt and cause drama. Lea demanded Karent take a stand and find out what happened with Rodolfo, so she can shut the other women up. Lea couldn’t understand why Karent won’t stop the madness and confront the situation head on. Doesn’t Karent want to know if her man’s cheating? Karent maintained she had nothing to prove to anyone. Her relationship was as firm as a baby’s behind.

Later that night, Karent opted out of dinner after she learned her father was sick. The ladies headed to dinner and decided they were all about a stress-free vacation and time to get close with each other. Alexia insisted she was for harmony and girl power but, when Joanna Krupa and Lisa Hochstein brought up the subject of Karent, dinner took a nasty turn. Alexia remarked she had no qualms with Karent, but felt like Karent wasn’t genuine about things. Ana and Marysol also chimed in and said they wanted Karent to be authentic and own up to things. Lea couldn’t agree more and used the opportunity to have a face-off with Marysol over her problems she had with the PR maven’s business practices.

Lea accused Marysol of not being professional when the socialite’s charity partnered up with Marysol’s PR company. Lea claimed Marysol never accepted any responsibility for the bad job her PR firm did with her events and attempts to sabotage Elaine Lancaster. Marysol feigned ignorance to Lea’s complaints, she  remarked things with Elaine are ok and her PR company was stellar at all events. Marysol’s PR firm made Lea’s charity relevant, so what’s the problem? Lea was appalled by the things Marysol denied and wanted it to stop. A fed up Ana told the women to get over their issues and make up already! The women agreed to put an end to their tiff, they were friends after all.

Buzz Moments

OMG!: Lisa’s honest discussion with Lea on wanting a family. Sad, but so frank.

Thank you, TV gods.: Mama Elsa telling Marysol, Alexia, Adriana and Ana to stop the gossip on their Bimini vacation. You’re in the Bahamas, live it up!

Awk-ward: The women debating eating the Bahamian delicacy, conch’s genitals, as an aphrodisiac.

Hotness: The dresses the ladies wore to dinner. Too gorgeous.

Fab-u-lous: Lea’s turbans. She really made island life stunning.

Can. Not. Wait.: To see the season finale! What chaos will RHOM bring at the end of the season for the show to be super-sized? Must be killer.

Is Karent right about the other ladies and her relationship? Will Lea and Marysol’s truce last? Sound off below!

While most will be toasting the New Year with a glass of champagne in hand, Real Housewives of Miami star Joanna Krupa has thought about ditching the bubbly — for healthier libations — in 2013.

“Drinking a little less,” is one plan Krupa, 33, told Celebuzz about her New Year’s goal at the Cell Phones for Soldiers Voli Light Vodka Party on Dec. 6 at the SkyBar in Hollywood. 

And given the fact that she’s on one of TV’s cattiest reality shows, her next resolution may be harder to live up to, but she wants to give it a try.

“Not getting in as many verbal fights as I have in the last few months,” Krupa added.

No doubt the Bravo star is referring to her on camera catfight with fellow castmate Adriana de Moura at co-star Lisa Hochstein’s lingerie charity event where the two became sworn enemies.

Despite the drama on screen, off screen Krupa’s personal life is definitely looking up.

Celebuzz was the first to reveal that the former Dancing with the Stars contestant got back together with her fiancee, Miami nightclub owner Romain Zago, after briefly calling off their five and a half year engagement on Nov. 20.

According to Krupa, her mother was the real champion behind the reconciliation.

“I was miserable for those three weeks,” she said. “I mean, we’ve always loved each other it was just certain things that happened throughout the season of Housewives that I just needed some time to myself. My mom pretty much got us back together. She’s like, ‘Guys, stop with all this nonsense. You’re either going to be together or not be together.’”

Dr. Karent Sierra‘s romance is once again in the spotlight on The Real Housewives of Miami.

It is no secret the ladies of RHOM are a bit wary of Karent and her relationship with telenovela star Rodolfo Jiménez. From the beginning of the season, Ana Quincoces would crow to anyone who would listen about Rofolfo’s steamy text and Facebook messages he sent her way. Rodolfo insisted, according to Ana, he wasn’t seeing anyone and wanted to take an in depth look at her legal briefs.

Ana’s allegations pitted the women against each other, and placed Karent and Rodolfo’s romance under a microscope. It became clear someone wasn’t telling the truth about things, but who was the culprit? Even the perky dentist’s biggest supporter, Joanna Krupa, started to wonder if Rodolfo was on the up and up with things. Heck, she even planned a triple date with herself, Karent, Lisa Hochstein, and their men to see if she could find out if Rodolfo was legitimate. Joanna knew something wasn’t quite right with him under the surface. From the result of things, the ladies needed to go with their gut.

Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched “Elsa Foretells a Storm.”

Despite the tensions, which plagued their friendships, Karent, Ana, Lisa, Lea Black, Marysol Patton, Adriana De Moura, and Alexia Echevarria traveled to the Bahamian island of Bimini courtesy of Joanna’s auction win. The women put their issues aside, and seemed to enjoy the other’s company in the comfort of the island paradise’s laid back atmosphere.

Karent confided in Lea and Lisa that her relationship with Rodolfo was “perfect”, except she wished he would settle down and move to Miami. The good doctor was tired of the back and forth commuting, and hoped they would get it together.

Later, the drama kicked into full gear when Alexia dished to Ana, Lea, Marysol and Adriana that she read a recent interview featuring Rodolfo. Karent’s man admitted he was in a romance, just not with Karent! The women were stunned, and debated if they should clue her in. Will Karent believe them?

Once the women returned from dinner, they started to discuss if they’d want to know if their man two-timed them. Karent piped up and said she would want to know. She had no desire to live her life in limbo. Oh Karent, if you only knew!

Buzz Moments

OMG!: Lea letting her hair down. She’s always so reserved, its good to see her acting playful.

Thank you, TV gods.: The women calling out Karent’s claims she wouldn’t want to know about Rodolfo cheating. ANY woman would want to know if their man is stepping out on them!

Awk-ward: Lisa and Karent shutting down Lea when she asked about her decision regarding Rodoflo at dinner. They couldn’t have been more obvious about hiding a secret from the group.

Hotness: The vacation attire the ladies sported. No matter where they go, RHOM divas are always fashion ready.

Fab-u-lous: The housewives’ accommodations in Bimini. Makes you want to book a flight there stat!

Can. Not. Wait.: Dying to see the continuation of Alexia and Karent’s conversation and if she whips out the article.

Marysol Patton offers an olive branch, as Dr. Karent Sierra’s man is placed under a microscope on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Miami.

Last week, Marysol received a good ol’ fashion verbal smack down from fabulous Miami drag queen Elaine Lancaster. Ms. Lancaster was fed up over Marysol’s alleged attempts to sabotage work opportunities with attacks to his reputation. Elaine was determined Marysol answered for her actions. Will these two ever coexist?

Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched Thursday’s episode, “Parents Fly South.”

Marysol decided to speak with Elaine one-on-one at her office, so the two could clear up whatever issues are between them. Elaine clued Marysol in on being aware she tried to stop Elaine from being the host of the shoe event they attended last week, courtesy of the host. Marysol denied she did such a thing.

Marysol claimed their mutual friend had a problem with Elaine’s asking price, and she just tried to help her out by recommending someone else. Elaine wasn’t buying what Marysol tried to peddle his way, and remarked things would be fine between them if Marysol would just cop to her sabotages. Marysol apologized for the issues she and Elaine had in the past, and hoped they could move forward. Can these two be friends again?

Over on the other side of Miami, Joanna Krupa took it upon herself to find out if Karent’s man, Rodolfo, was legit with his feelings for the good doctor, or just another playboy actor. The model organized a triple date with herself and fiancé Romain, Karent and Rodolfo, and Lisa Hochstein and her hubby doctor Lenny. Joanna liked Rodolfo, but felt as though he may be living up to the Latin lover stigma.

While the ladies went to the restroom to powwow, Romain and Lenny placed Rodolfo in the hot seat. The men wanted to know how Rodolfo kept his romance alive while he lived apart from Karent and steamed up the screen with other women. Rodolfo insisted he’s all about family and wants to make an honest woman out of Karent. Is Rodolfo sincere or just acting out another role?

Buzz Moments

OMG!: Ana Quincoces’ estranged husband asking her when they can finally get divorced. Ana, end it girl!

Thank you, TV gods.: Lea Black stopping Elaine and others from trashing Marysol while she wasn’t around to defend herself.

Awk-ward: Joanna lying in bed with Romain, her sister Marta and mother. Talk about strange bedfellows!

Hotness: Adriana De Moura’s performance for her fiancé Frederic and his family. Muy Caliente!

Fab-u-lous: Lea throwing a party for her son at a recently purchased multi-million dollar home. If THAT is the bash an 11-year-old gets, I need to move  Miami!

Can. Not. Wait.: The trip to the Bimini islands in the Bahamas! Drama always unfolds on a housewives getaway.

Marysol Patton has seen it all and then some. Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Miami star is used to being around high drama as she’s one of Miami’s elite PR mavens. But, what happens when the shoe is on the other foot?

Viewers and partygoers alike were stunned watching Patton’s mother Elsa going head-to-head with the infamous Thomas Kramer on Thursday’s episode. The showdown took place at a dinner party Kramer and castmember Dr. Karent Sierra hosted for the other housewives.

Celebuzz spoke with Patton to discuss her thoughts on Mama Elsa and Kramer squaring off, her take on Joanna Krupa and Adriana De Moura‘s battle royale, and what it is about Karent that rubs the other ladies the wrong way.

Celebuzz: Mama Elsa is getting in the middle of things, again, which we all love. What can you tell us about what’s going on at this dinner with Lea and how your mother gets involved?
Marysol Patton: Well, I had left at that point but I know that once I saw the commercials, I said to mother, ‘What happened?’ and she said that Lea was getting loud and she was telling Lea, ‘Lea, settle down, lower your voice.’ And then Thomas started screaming, ‘You don’t tell my quests what to do.’ And my mother’s been like Thomas’ mother for like 20 years. I’ve sat at dinners with Thomas’ mother sitting there and he’ll tell his own mother, ‘Elsa’s more of a mother to me than you are.’ So, when he loses his mind, and I’ve seen him throw dignitaries and celebrities out of his house, there’s always someone at every dinner party that he targets and he throws out. I’ve seen it happen over two decades. I’ve never seen him do it to my mother.

CB: We’d love to have you weigh in on what’s going on with other gals. Of course, we have the whole thing with Adriana and Joanne. What’s your take on the catfight?
MP: In the moment, I didn’t know anyone had been slapped until I saw the commercials. I had heard rumblings from the producers. ‘What did you think of the slap?’ and I said, ‘I didn’t know there was a slap.’ And they’re like, ‘It’s the first bitch slap in Housewife history. It’s the biggest thing ever.’ And I’m like, ‘What are you talking about? I never saw that.’ It was the one time I wasn’t standing right there for the chaos.

CB: Karent has gotten a lot of flack for being a social climber and getting in the middle of the other women’s relationships. Do you think she earned that or do think she’s getting a bad rap?
MP: I just think that a lot of us feel the same way. We all talk and we all agree. We don’t think she’s a bad person or a malicious person at all. We just think that she’s very, I guess the word we all use is overzealous. And then everyone else is kind of chill and just rolling with everything and then I guess it just rubs everyone the wrong way, the overzealousness and excitement to jump into the middle of everything. But, I don’t believe that anybody here — regardless of what you’ve seen — thinks she’s like a bad girl, or bad person or that she does it calculated or in a malicious way.

The Real Housewives of Miami airs Thursdays at 9 PM on Bravo.

What did you think of Karent’s dinner from hell? Are you surprised by Thomas’ actions? Sound off in the comments section below.

The Real Housewives of Miami star Marysol Patton is banking on the third time being the charm when it comes to marriage.

“I really would like to get married again,” Patton tells Celebuzz. “I know that sounds silly, but if Liz Taylor did it eight, nine times, why can’t I do a third?”

Fans of the Bravo reality series are well acquainted with the public relations pro’s romantic history. Her engagement and second marriage to French businessman Philippe Pautesta-Herder was a major storyline on the show’s first season. And this season (shot almost two years ago, according to Patton) portrays its demise, something Patton says was hard to go through in front of the cameras.

“I was really, really, really sad the whole time we were filming,” she says. “I was an emotional wreck. My father was sick. My parents had just separated. I was going through a divorce. I was filming. I was running my company. I had a lot on my plate and it was a really hard time for me. I was just an emotional mess, but I tried.”

Patton says that her favorite parts of the filming were when she shot the commentary interviews and got away from the show’s dramatic group situations.

“I really enjoy doing the interviews, because I come to life and I get silly,” Patton, who has launched a coffee line with her mother called Havana Elsa, explains. “I’m a very silly person. I’m a lot like my mother. I like to clown around a lot.”

Going through two divorces may have been hard for Patton, but she did come out of them with a better idea of the kind of guy she’s looking for.

“I actually think I need to date someone that’s my age or in their 50s and just in a different place in their life,” Patton, whose first husband was two years younger than her while her second husband was 10 years her junior, says.

And, she really wants someone who has “already had some children.”

“Both of my husbands had never had kids,” she explains. “I haven’t had children. I would really like to have a child. I probably can’t have one on my own, but I would like to adopt.”

The Real Housewives of Miami airs Thursdays at 9 PM on Bravo.

Marysol Patton gets a verbal smack down, and the ladies attend a dinner from hell on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Miami.

There’s one thing The Real Housewives of Miami can say they corner the market on, having drama at every event they attend. Since their sophomore season commenced, the ladies have had more squabbles than lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched Thursday’s episode, “Uncomfortably Public Relations.”

Drag queen extraordinaire Elaine Lancaster had enough of Marysol’s alleged trash talking. Ms. Elaine has crowed throughout the entire season to Lea Black, and anyone else who would listen, that Marysol was dragging his name through the mud, which blocked him from his party hosting duties.

Elaine informed Lea he planned to confront Marysol at a shoe fashion show which Marysol, Ana Quincoces, Dr. Karent Sierra, Adriana De Moura, Joanna Krupa and Lisa Hochsteinwould all be attending. Lea begged her good friend not to cause a scene, and instead talk to Marysol in a private area.

The moment Marysol arrived, Elaine jumped on her, like a Florida gator smelling blood in swamp water! Elaine insisted Marysol stop bad mouthing him; while Marysol claimed she had no idea what he was talking about.

Elaine continued, saying a party’s host had informed him of Marysol’s attempts to bar him from the event. Ana attempted to defended her friend, but Elaine wouldn’t hear of it. According to Elaine, Ana had know idea who Marysol really was!

Later, Karent threw a dinner party to try and diffuse the tension. The doctor’s good intensions flew out of the window, when her dinner party co-host Thomas Kramer insulted Joanna.

The aftermath of Adriana De Moura and Joanna Krupa’s altercation continued on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Miami.

Last week, Lisa Hochstein’s lingerie party had more theatrics than a night at the opera! Joanna’s little sister Marta’s confession to having had a steamy encounter with Girls Gone Wild’s founder Joe Francis, sent the model reeling. And meanwhile, Dr. Karent Sierra butted heads with Marysol Patton over her party attire. Will these ladies ever get along?

Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched Thursday’s episode, “Conflicting Conflict.”

Adriana, Joanna, Lisa and Karent attended Lea Black’s Annual Gala. The tension was so thick, you could cut it with one of their diamond earrings. Both Adriana and Joanna prayed they wouldn’t bump into the other, what with their showdown from the previous night still so fresh.

In true soap opera fashion, the women were seated a table away from one another, with Joe in attendance as well. Joanna almost caused a scene when Joe stopped by her table and tried to smooth things over between the two.

Afterwards, the model frantically texted her fiancée Romaine for a little moral support. Joanna later revealed she was being avoided by her man due to Joe’s accusations. Karent and Lisa assured their friend everything would be okay. Romaine just needed some time to process things, they reasoned. Joanna wasn’t so sure.

Meanwhile, Adrianna and Joe reveled in Joanna’s apparent misery. Joanna ultimately decided to leave Lea’s gala to try to work things out with her love.

Marysol and Ana Quincocesdecided to opt out of Lea’s event. Marysol was still steamed over her belief that Lea badmouthed her around town. Legal eagle Ana’s excuse for not attending wasn’t nearly as scandalous. She simply chose to go to another event.

Ana opened up to Marysol about waiting for the right time to file for divorce. Considering she and her estranged husband Robert share a legal practice, things could get dicey!

Marysol confessed to Ana about having run into Philippe, her own soon-to-be former hubby, while working an event. She claimed she was too bombed to drive home and wound up back at Philippe’s, but nothing happened.

An emotional Marysol went on to reveal Philippe wanted to sign the divorce papers, but she was too scared to let either of them move on. This was her second marriage after all!

Before the sophomore season of The Real Housewives of Miami commenced, viewers heard all about the infamous catfight between model Joanna Krupa and art curator Adriana de Moura. Many wondered what happened to make the beauties of Biscayne Bay turn from BFFs to enemies packing punches at Lisa Hochstein’s lingerie charity event.

Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched Sunday’s episode, “Braws and Brawls part 2”.

Joanna reeled from the news her little sister Marta did in fact engage in a little bump and grind with Girls Gone Wild‘s Joe Francis. How could she do such a thing, the elder Krupa wondered? Marta refused to get into the details.

The model then started to vent her disgust over Marysol Patton‘s choice to wear a fur throw. Marta talked her sister down from a potentially nasty confrontation; it was a party after all.

Adriana arrived fashionably late and was filled in about all the drama surrounding Marysol’s dustup with Dr. Karent Sierra. The women were commiserating about Karent, when Joe appeared to dish about his run-in with the dentist. Say it ain’t so, Joe…

Later, Adriana decided to confront Karent about the article discussing the Housewives. Joanna jumped into the conversation and stated you can’t believe everything you read. Adriana instructed Joanna to mind her own business.

The ladies proceeded to get into a huge shouting match, with Joanna’s beau Romaine warning Adriana not to disrespect his lady love. Adriana walked away from Joanna’s screeching, however Joanna was hot on her designer heels. Claiming that Joanna had pulled her hair, Adriana flipped, punching her rival!

After the fight, Adriana stormed off, while Joanna received a nice dressing down from Marta, Lisa, Ana Quincoces, and Lea Black. Why get involved when it had nothing to do with you, they asked? All in the name of friendship, Joanna retorted. Too bad she almost lost her sister and her man, while worrying about “friendship”. Good move, Joanna.

OMG!: Lisa chastising Lea and Karent for their guest also fighting at the party.

Dr. Karent Sierra once again ruffles feathers and Joanna Krupa gets a shocking blast from the past on The Real Housewives of Miami.

Dr. Karent just can’t seem to catch a break with the Housewives. Last week, Marysol Patton, Adriana de Moura, Ana Quincoces and Alexia Echevarria were all furious with her, claiming she is a fake, attention-seeking opportunist. Karent didn’t do much to change their opinion by once again putting her foot in her mouth in a newspaper article.

Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched Thursday’s episode, “Braws and Brawls”.

The good doctor apparently insinuated her addition to the series would bring refinement in the article. The piece quoted Karent saying she wasn’t a “classless fame addict with botox for brains” like the others. Ouch!

When they convened at Lea Black‘s offices, the ladies were livid about Karent’s comments. Joanna refused to believe Karent trashed them, saying it was all the reporter’s fault. But Adriana wasn’t trying to hear that. She insisted Karent was trying to gain attention at their expense.

When Joanna asked Karent about the article, she claimed she was misquoted by the reporter. As to why she didn’t bother clearing things up with the other ladies, Karent said it wasn’t worth it, because her real friends would realize it was all lies. Oh Karent, you just never learn.

Later, Lea arrived at Lisa Hochstein’s charity lingerie event with her good friend, Girls Gone Wild honcho Joe Francis. Francis told Lea, Marysol and Karent that not only did he get Joanna on television and sleep with her, but he’d hooked up with her sister Marta as well!

Karent rushed to tattle all to Joanna, who balked at the story. The model denied anything happened and demanded Joe to tell the truth. The two started to cause a scene, as Joanna’s man Romaine carefully watched the heated exchange

While Joanna was out for blood, Marta laughed it off and insisted she didn’t want to discuss it. Does Marta have something she wants to share with the class?

Buzz Moments

OMG!: Marysol chiding Karent for grilling her about the fur wrap she wore on Joanna’s behest. Joanna doesn’t need a spokesperson, she can take care of herself!

Thank you, TV gods.: The ladies commenting about Karent’s tattling to Joanna about Joe’s allegations.

Awk-ward: Joanna running around her photo shoot with fake hair taped to her crotch. Can we say “ew”?

Hotness: The men at Lisa’s party were sexy in their bedroom get ups.

Fab-u-lous: The women’s nighttime naughty attire is just as decadent as their regular clothing.

Can. Not. Wait.: Adriana and Joanna’s fight. That thing has been brewing all season.

Adriana de Moura and Dr. Karent Sierra’s animosity comes to a boil and Joanna Krupa sleuthing skills uncovers a shocking secret on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Miami.

Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched Thursday’s episode, “Sexting Candles.”

High drama once again reared its ugly head at a high society event involving the spicy mamas of Miami. Karent, Adriana and housewives Marysol Patton, Lea Black and Ana Quincoces were on hand for Alexia Echevarria’s first big venue party since her son’s car accident. Adriana decided it was time Dr. Karent was put in her place for all her alleged attention-seeking behavior. Adriana made it clear she didn’t like her moment with the renowned artist being stolen by Karent via Twitter.

Alexia came over to referee the situation, but ended up being dragged into the fray. The ladies railed against Karent for diving into conversations that don’t concern her and being phoney. Really, ladies? Karent made a huge mistake when she mentioned she always prayed for Alexia and her son. Fed up with all the bickering, Alexia tossed Karent out of the party and forbade her from mentioning her child ever again.

Meanwhile, Mama Elsa took it upon herself to confront Miami’s uber-popular drag queen Elaine Lancaster for trash talking her daughter Marysol. An amused Elaine chalked Elsa’s behavior up to the evil thing called alcohol and let it roll off her back. Oh Elaine…

Mama E was not thrilled by Ms. Elaine’s attitude, and threatened to beat her down with her purse! Elaine decided enough was enough and walked away from the situation without any drinks being thrown or hair being pulled.

Joanna got the shock of her life when she discovered her fiancé Romain was engaging in computer love with a dancer behind her back. The heartbroken model confided in her kid sister Marta about the dirty e-mails.

Later, Joanna met up with Ana at the grocery store and opened up. Ana urged her to fight for her man. At dinner, Romain admitted he was going to leave Joanna because of all the fights and the distance the two had in their relationship — but he never cheated. Romain then pleaded with Joanna to give him another chance.

Buzz Moments

OMG!: Ana telling her soon-to-be ex to get a pre-nup if he gets married. The lawyer in her is not letting that slide, smart move.

Thank you, TV gods.: Marta imploring Joanna to leave Romain if he is cheating. She’s too good to stick around for that.

Awk-ward: Marysol deciding to move down on the couch to get away from Lea after their tiff. You two are women not 14-year-old girls.

Hotness: Karent still kept a smile on her face while getting into an argument with Adriana and Alexia.

Fab-u-lous: Lisa Hochstein giving Marta a room at her house to stay. If that’s what crashing at a friend’s house is like, then I need to bunk there!

Can. Not. Wait.: Joanna and Marta’s fight with Joe Francis of the Girls Gone Wild video empire. What exactly made those three clash?

What happened to the ladies of The Real Housewives of Miami loving Dr. Karent Sierra? The good doctor wore out her welcome with the sexy socialites of the Sunshine state on Thursday’s episode of Bravo’s guilty pleasure.

Note: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched Thursday’s episode, “Eager Beaver”.

When the sophomore season of RHOM began, it seemed Karent and Adriana De Moura were tighter than pantyhose on a Las Vegas showgirl. The friendship, however, unraveled all due to Karent’s apparent lack of social grace.

Karent, Adriana, Ana Quincoces, Lea Black, Alexia Echevarria, Marysol Patton and Joanna Krupa attended Lisa Hotchstein’s Hearts and Stars Gala. Everything was going smoothly until Karent and her controversial boyfriend Rodolfo Jiménezappeared. Adriana didn’t waste any time snarking her friend would “go to the opening of an envelope.” Meow! The ladies started to attack Karent behind her back (naturally) for her grabs for the spotlight.

Meanwhile, the women, minus Joanna, were appalled by Karent, laughing it up with a wealthy mutual friend, known for his wild parties. The girls just didn’t understand why she must be the center of attention. Don’t they all need to be the center of attention on this show? Even still, Adriana took it upon herself to straighten Karent out.

Later, Adriana and Lea met up with Joanna to help out with food tasting for her upcoming gala. Of course, the subject of Karent’s Twitter faux pas came up. Adriana ripped Joanna a new one for claiming she was hurt over the “stolen moment.”

Adriana informed the model that Karent is all about the spotlight and needed to get it together. Afterwards, Joanna called her friend to let her know Adriana was on the warpath. Will these ladies ever kiss and make up?

Buzz Moments

OMG!: Lea joking that Marysol’s husband got his green card and left the US once they separated. Lea, she just opened up to you about how hard it was to move on from him. Inappropriate much?

Thank you, TV gods.: Mama Elsa is back and knows how to cut a mean rug on the dance floor!

Awk-ward: Karent and Rudolfo’s lizzard-like tounge kiss. Eww…

Hotness: Romain Zago and Rudolfo. Those two sure know how to work a tux.

Fab-u-lous.: Mama Elsa and Lea’s jewels. WOW!

Can. Not. Wait.: Karent and Adriana’s showdown. It looks spicy.

Are the housewives being too hard on Karent? Sound off below!

Things are heating up on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Miami – and no, it has nothing to do with Elsa Patton’s hot flashes.

This week, the show’s first official catfight of the season will play out in typical Housewives fashion: When supermodel Joanna Krupa tries to warn Karent Sierra of her BFF’s Adriana de Moura’s evil ways, an argument between Krupa and de Moura escalates into hair-pulling fight.

“It’s been one of the darkest moments in my life. I never thought I could get physical with anybody  – I never have in the past,” de Moura told Celebuzz during our exclusive sit-down with the reality star. “I have a big mouth and I can speak up and get very outspoken, but I have never touched anybody in my whole life… It took a lot to escalate me to that point.”

Of course, it doesn’t help that de Moura openly flirted with Krupa’s fiance, Romain Zago. Or, at least that’s how Zago described it. 

“That flirting with Romain was completely a joke,” she said. ”I was having fun with everybody in the club that night, and when Joanna started flipping out and cussing out the DJ, I went downstairs, and Romain was there… So I sat next to him and we started chatting.”

Then, harmless chatting soon turned into a bit of flirting on de Moura’s part. However, the Brazilian-born reality star denied hitting on Romain. “Brazilians, they flirt as a way of communicating,” she said. “It was nothing.”

According to de Moura, it was Krupa who took things too far.

“Joanna decided to throw me under the bus for that. In fact, the next day, we were both joking about it. But I guess to take the heat off her bad behavior — for destroying her partner’s big night — she decided to throw me under the bus and say that I was flirting with her man.”

Krupa previously told Celebuzz that she was “not proud” of her actions that night.  “Adriana and I had a conflict relating to another girl on the show,” she said. “I was trying to be a friend and defend her, but right away, Adriana got in my face, and maybe I said a few things that p—ed her off.”

Below, Krupa explains her side of the story to Celebuzz.
