The clouds over D.C. parted for a brief moment Thursday when rumors broke that Bravo had canceled the D.C. installment of The Real Housewives franchise. While California exports such as frozen yogurt and legalized marijuana seem to have taken hold in our city, this is one sprout that never took root. A source close to the show had claimed that the network would not be renewing it for a second season due to low-ratings and general unpopularity. more ›

I have to admit, I was pretty excited about last night's episode, mostly because it is the last one. The Salahis have been saying since the beginning that once the truth comes out, which it should have last night, we will see that they are innocent. We've come this far, let's do it. more ›

I mistakenly thought that this was the last week of the Real Housewives, but alas, we have one more week to go. For today's recap, we have an embassy party, Stacie still trying to find her birth father and Michaele getting ready for the State Dinner. more ›

Last Thursday's Real Housewives of D.C. featured Redskins cheerleading, debates about same-sex marriage and David Catania. Don't act like you're not interested. more ›

Can you believe we have made it to week six? Only two weeks left. I might shed a tear. more ›

Happy Friday everyone! After a week off, the D.C. Housewives are back. Aren't you excited? more ›

Happy Friday everyone. This week, we learn more about Mary, the Salahis crashing the Congressional Black Caucus dinner, and Virginia grape stomping. Let's do it. more ›

It's Friday afternoon -- time for our recap of the third week of the Real Housewives of D.C. Let's get to it. more ›

Nothing can beat the recap that Davy DCist put together for the first episode of the Real Housewives of D.C. last week. Davy couldn't stomach watching the show again, so we've brought back our patented Real World style to fulfill our obligation to cover every reality show in this town. (Except D.C. Cupcakes. We've got some standards.) more ›

Pepco fail! Since our regularly scheduled writer couldn't watch The Real Housewives of D.C. due to the power outage, your soon to be regularly scheduled synposis is unavailable today. But we just got some breaking news from Bravo: more ›

We learned the following day -- as did everyone else, including the other D.C. Housewives -- of the alleged "gate crashing" incident. At the core of the reaction was the question of whether or not the Salahis had been invited. But one of the by-products of the aftermath was continued false reporting that somehow the Salahis had used the State Dinner as a 'stunt' to be cast on the show. The fact is that by November we had been shooting the series with Michaele and the other women for months. In fact, we were a few weeks away from wrapping photography on the series. Any idea that attending the State Dinner was an audition to cement participation in the show is preposterous. more ›

The cable network Bravo has gone ahead and ordered a full season of The Real Housewives of D.C., according to the Hollywood Reporter. The local iteration of the series marks the fifth locale for the Real Housewives franchise. Production is said to be already underway, with a series premiere slated for 2010. more ›

Oh for the love of Pete. We Love DC caught this post over at Reality Blurred that Bunim-Murray, the producers of the Real World, have started seeking production assistants in the area in earnest (unlike earlier this year, when they were only searching for a production accountant, they're now seeking a slew of people who know the city and can work with camera crews). As they note, unless they're looking to produce a brand new series, it looks like the rumor mill about a Real World season finally happening in D.C. is about to kick into high gear. Between Blonde Charity Mafia, Real Housewives of D.C., and the friggin' Real World (not to mention a new Owen Wilson film that's scheduled to being filming in June, partly in the District), it looks like we won't be able to swing a jumbo slice without hitting a camera crew. more ›

Bravo has gone and done it. Producers are currently casting for the newest franchise in the Real Housewives series, and they're doing it here. From the release: "We're tapping personalities who are among Washington D.C.'s influential players, cultural connoisseurs, fashion sophisticates and philanthropic leaders - the people who rub elbows with the most prominent people in the country and easily move in the city's diverse political and social circles." What I don't get: are there actually any housewives in D.C.? Don't the women here all work? more ›
