In the land of manufactured reality television, Yolanda Foster stands out as one of the few honest stars that has really handed us her life as it is rather than presenting an image of perfection. Foster has been dealing with Lyme Disease for years and these past several months have been especially devastating for the former model and her husband, David Foster. Her participation in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has even been diminished due to her declining health and that has left many to wonder if there is even a possibility that Foster will return to the show next season. If her husband has his way, it is unlikely to happen. -

'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Didn't Have a Family Visit Yet Because She Is Going Through Drug Detox
When Teresa Giudice turned herself in to begin serving her 15-month sentence at Danbury Federal Correctional Institute, the focus was initially on the family that she was leaving behind. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey's" husband Joe Giudice is now in charge of taking care of their four daughters, something he has never done before, and the media began speculating on Teresa's life without hair extensions and a new chore list. As it turns out, an even bigger problem is plaguing the reality star: an addiction to prescription pills.According to a report by Radar Online, Teresa has been using Xanax and Valium for the last five years, and she has also dabbled with human growth hormones to put muscle on her lean frame. That means she is now experiencing some major detox behind bars. According to the source, Teresa could be afflicted with symptoms for as long as two weeks as everything leaves her body."Teresa would get things through her friend whose husband is a doctor and two other doctors. It's going to be a [major] detox. I warned her about that. It's going to be hell. It's a cold withdrawal. You just detox. It's a really brutal withdrawal. She'll get sick. She will get diarrhea. She'll have actual DTs [delirium tremens, aka 'the shakes']," said the source. -

She seemed to successfully beat it twice before getting sick all over again last August while filming "The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2." Last night's premiere of the show, Jan. 6, was sad because Brown and her costar Ryan Knight have died since filming.What is really bittersweet was the motivation behind why Brown wanted to not only compete on the show again, but win the cash prize, she wanted to finally start a family at age 34."If I won this money, it would be my fairy tale dream. I know people are sick of me talking about cancer, trust me, I was sick of living with cancer. But it did change my life. They had to remove my ovaries, and if I'm going to have kids, I need a surrogate. I have to pay anywhere from $20,000 to $30,000 per kid, so winning this prize, I could have four kids in the oven at the same time and get back on track and start my life," explained Brown. -

Tori Spelling Will Continue 'True Tori' Even Though It's Ruining Her Marriage to Dean McDermott
If you are someone who has been watching Tori Spelling's train wreck of a reality show "True Tori" on Lifetime, then you have already seen firsthand what a mess her marriage is. When her husband Dean McDermott's affair became public knowledge nearly a year ago, the actress decided to make the personal crisis the platform for her latest reality show, and so True Tori was born. While McDermott initially agreed to look like a fool on camera and was willing to shoulder most of the blame during their filmed therapy sessions, almost a year has passed, and it seemed that they have gotten nowhere. McDermott is now refusing to film anymore because it, quite obviously, is not fixing anything, according to "Us Weekly."Spelling sat for an interview today on "The Meredith Vieira Show," and she once again explained and tried to justify continuing on with a show that, at this point, might actually be killing her marriage.She said, "We let it all hang out. I don't [think I reveal too much] because if everything hadn't been made as public as it was, I would've chosen to deal with this privately with my husband. We're talking about the affair that my husband had almost a year ago. I chose to deal with it because it was my journey, it was my truth. Women everywhere go through this and I wanted to put it out there. It's completely cathartic for me and it's very individual. -
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott Headed for a Split After Sharing All of Their Marital Problems on 'True Tori'
It has been nearly a year since Tori Spelling caught her husband of eight years, Dean McDermott, cheating on her with a woman named Emily Goodhand. Rather than buckle down and work together to try and resolve the multitude of problems that exist between them, Spelling instead decided to use their messy marriage as the foundation for a new reality show "True Tori." Viewers have watched as, week after week, Spelling has painted her husband as a villain. The on-camera meltdowns have often happened in front of their children, leaving many to think a split might be in everyone's best interest. Now it looks like that might be the only option left for these two.Instead of realizing just how badly the first season of "True Tori" really was and that it was not helping her marriage, Spelling rallied for a second season. A few weeks ago, McDermott said he is finished ripping open his veins for the sake of reality television, but by the time he finally reached that conclusion it might have already been too late to salvage things. -
