With a sidekick assist from mozzarella land , this looks like the handiwork of Vicki, Tamra, and Wimperin’ Jay.
These idiots make Gretchen look better on a daily basis. Which one knows this Lancona chick?
Beauty pageant turns ugly
Reality television celebrity Gretchen Rossi, from hit cable show, "The Real Housewives of Orange County.
from the daily pilot:
The organizer of this year’s Miss Newport Beach and Miss Newport Beach Teen Pageants isn’t sure who will host the event — but she’s positive it won’t be The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi.Gretchen Rossi
Pageant organizer Caren Lancona this week decided to drop Rossi, who was slated to emcee the April 24 event, after she was overwhelmed with negative phone calls and e-mails about the reality television celebrity.
“I made a mistake, and now I’m just trying to fix it,” Lancona said.
Rossi is one of the newest stars of cable reality series “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” which chronicles the lives of five wealthy women in the county.
In season four of the series, which just ended, Rossi is a tan, blond, 30-year-old engaged to Jeff Beitzel, a wealthy man 23 years her senior, who died last year after a lengthy struggle with leukemia.
Rossi is depicted on the show drinking, shopping and dancing while her fiance battles cancer.
Lancona asked Rossi to host the pageant after meeting her at a social event, she said.
“I actually really like her, but she’s coming off on the TV show as something she’s not,” Lancona said. “The TV show has really dragged her through the mud.”
Rossi could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday.
Lancona estimates she received more than negative 100 e-mails and countless phone calls about Rossi after she ran an advertisement for the pageant in the pages of the Daily Pilot that included a photograph of the reality television star.
Lancona claims a few of the pageant’s sponsors — she declined to say which ones — have backed out.
She believes it may have been in part because of Rossi’s association with the event.
“I could feel that I had lost the support of previous sponsors,” Lancona said. “If nobody is behind me on my decision, I’ve got to change decisions.”
The search is now underway for a new emcee, one Lancona says she hopes can be a role model for the many young women that will compete in the pageant.
“I’d like it to be a positive figure who is well known,” Lancona said. “There are so many reality TV people to go after, but maybe we’ll look for people who have contributed to the business world.”AND..

I love Gretchen. I don't think the show has made her look bad. She is just like us- which is why some of the other ladies have had problems with her. I wish her the best and support her fully!
That is really messed up that they are not letting her be on the show because of RHOOC, stupid, really stupid and the sponsors pulling out, so freaking ridiculous.
Guidlines for new Housewives selection S-5...
"We love women who are self-confident and happy with who they are."
Well, that leaves Tamra OUT!! If she were confident she would have never begun her tirade against Gretchen.
