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......

Alleged Annorexic Rachel Zoe and Sidekick Brad Taylor Taunt Employee for Having Normal Size Breasts

The current episode of the Rachel Zoe project gives us a glimpse at just how messed up Hollywood is when it comes to body image. Wee get to see alleged Annorexic Rachel Zoe and her gay sidekick Brad Taylor taunt Taylor for not being able to fit into a dress because her breasts are too big.

In a normal workplace, teasing an employee about her breast size would be sexual harrasment, not to mention, gosh darn mean. But in Zoe land, apparently not so. Zoe managed to hand over a trite apology without fully understanding what she had said that was inappropriate. Zoe thinks that Taylor must be desperately envious of women with smaller breasts. Really?

Taylor, you are beautiful just the way you are. Rachel is the one who is completely messed up.

But what's really revealing about this incident is what it says about Rachel Zoe's distorted perceptions about body size.
