Bravo's Latest Housewife: Alexis Bellino

Season 5 of Real Housewives of Orange County is set to air on on November 5th, but you if you're a fan of Jeana Keough, you're going to be disappointed.

My favorite Orange County Housewife is apparently being traded in for yet another younger, svelter, cookie-cutter blonde. Cue the latest housewife Alexis Bellino. Bellino replaces Gretchen Rossie as the hot new skinny blonde. Rossie, you may recall, replaced Tamra Knickerbocker as the hot new skinny blonde. It's the circle of life, OC style.

With Bravo's alleged anorexic Rachel Zoe under fire after she teased her assistant for having normal-sized breasts, and NeNe Leakes from Real Housewives of Atlanta being referred to as a "plus sized model" on a recent episode, you might think Bravo would be paying more attention to body image issues.

But Bravo takes the easier path, opting for yet another blonde Orange County clone. Yes the newest OC housewife Alexis Bellino has three kids, but be it surgery or excercise, no trace of those children remain on her body. And get this, much like Gretchen and Tamra before her, Bravo describes Alexis as "spicy blonde who unabashedly lives life on her terms."

Bravo take note: it's time to mix things up a little. How about a housewife who (shocking!) doesn't have a perfect body? A lesbian housewife? A housewife who actually knows how to cook? The possibilities are endless......
