Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10's Tamra Judge at Center Stage in ITVBe Channel's Promo Pic for the UK Spinoff of Bravo's Real Housewives Franchise Reality TV Shows

ITVBe, a new British channel dedicated to reality TV, "has just gotten the entire Housewives franchise, according to Perez Hilton, and "they'll be showing ALL the different locations!!!" Actually, the network will also be even getting its own spinoff series called "The Real Housewives of Cheshire." In any event, celebrity and entertainment news source Lalate reports that "when iTVBE decided days ago to announce the launch of its new block of Bravo Housewives programming, they had more than a few housewives' images to choose from. In the end, iTVBE chose a cast image, with Tamra Barney in the center position, to promote their new network. The image, featuring the women at Vicki Gunvalson 2013 Christmas Party, depicted all the wives gathered around with Tamra in the lead center position for the camera. And while iTVBe could have used images of other Bravo personalities to announce the channel's launch this October, they chose this RHOC picture with Tamra." And of course, Tamra helped spread the good news from Lalate via her Facebook and Twitter pages.

In related news, Tamra slammed former Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi who called her "the biggest lying, manipulating, conniving, narcissistic sociopath" during the previous Tuesday's edition of Bravo's Watch What Happens Live show, also hosted by Andy Cohen. In an interview with Radar Online, Tamra said: "It's sad that she finally got the opportunity to come back to Bravo and all she can do is talk about me. Some people never change!" She also said: "I wish her nothing but happiness in the future."

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 premiere has yet to be scheduled but speculations already abound as to who will make it to the final Real Housewives of Season 10 cast. The previous season brought to the TV spotlight the lives of veteran cast members Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson and Heather Dubrow along with those of newcomers Shannon Beadorand Lizzie Rovsek, plus new friend of the housewives Danielle Gregorio. Rumors have it that Tamra has been fired, Heather and her husband Terry will quit and Lizzie will not be coming back. However, it now seems more likely that the entire cast will be asked to return to the show next season after all. Gunvalson, Judge, Dubrow, Beador, and Rovsek would all be returning as full-time housewives for the tenth season, which is scheduled to film beginning this month. According to the usually reliable Rumor Fix, an insider revealed that "at the current moment, the entire cast is being asked back." There will also be some additions to the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 cast. Rumor Fix's insider source said: "There will be a new girl and a new friend. They are looking at athletes wives. There is one who plays professional baseball. There have also been talks of Kobe Bryant's wife being scoped out." However, Vanessa Bryant herself has shot down the rumors according to an entry in the wikipedia.
