Camille Grammer's stint on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" was tumultuous with news of her 14-year marriage to Kelsey Grammer ending the season.  Now the pair is embroiled in a battle for custody of their two children following Kelsey's quickie wedding to Kayte Walsh, just days after their divorce was finalized.

Evelyn Lozada has never been married, but the 'Basketball Wives' cast member is engaged to Chad Ochocinco. The Latina is reportedly trying to capitalize off of her hurtful admission of an affair with fellow castmember Tami Roman's ex-husband Kenny Anderson while the two were still married.  A trailer for the new season shows Lozada planning to sell a T-shirt with her choice words.

Kandi Burruss, 35, from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," is enduring more family pain.  Her ex-fiance was killed outside of a strip club over a year ago, and only months ago, the daughter of A.J. Jewell, Asheley, was shot in the back of the head while riding in a car.

Not even the table-flipping incident can top ruining an infant's christening which Teresa Giudice and her family somehow managed to do.  The season 3 premiere of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" episode pitted her brother and hubby, both named Joe, against one another.

Kelly Bensimon has become an author - well almost.  She reportedly inked a deal with publisher St. Martin's Press to pen a book tentatively titled, I Want to Make You Hot, set for release later this year.  But she apparently won't be feeling the heat on the just-announced trip of the New York City housewives to Morocco.  The divorcee may opt to sit this one out.

The daughter of New York City alum Countess LuAnn de Lesseps was recently seen online - thanks to a tweet by castmate Ramona Singer - with what appears to be a joint and has reportedly been kicked out of the posh Ross School she attends in The Hamptons.  But Countess' response was that her departure was planned more than five months prior so she can study "art in Paris this summer."

Another Orange County housewife, Tamra Barney has bounced back in more ways than one since her divorce - which then-husband Simon cites was due to verbal abuse and infidelity.  Not only is she openly professing her love for new boyfriend Eddie Judge, but she's losing weight and hitting the gym as she gets her groove back.

Vicki Gunvalson's filing for divorce is still playing itself out on the current season of "The Real Housewives of Orange County," but paparazzi photos show Vicki seemingly moved on with a new beau in tow in Hollywood just days ago.

Leave it up to NeNe Leakes of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" to willingly get herself into more drama.  Not only did she quit "The Celebrity Apprentice" without being fired by the Donald, but she recently took on a gun-toting character in the stage play Loving Him is Killing Me, which just finished touring the nation.

The Real Housewives keep drama at a maximum when cameras are rolling, but their real lives are just as juicy.
