Vicki Gunvalson has one more thing to endlessly whine about. The high-pitched, self-centered bleached-blonde star of the reality show The Real Housewives of Orange County (ironically, that could be describing many of the cast members) has gotten death threats from what police believe is a “fanatical female fan.” On the show, Vicki and her fellow housewife Jeana Keough are constantly at odds, and this fan decided that in order for Jeana to win the war, she would have to off Keough’s rival. The fan sent an email to her saying that she “would take care of Vicki for her.”
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department is investigating two death threats received by Vicki Gunvalson. We’re told sheriffs believe the two threats came from “a fanatical female fan who takes the show way too seriously.”
According to Sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino, Vicki received one of the threats through a phone call — and the other through an email sent to another cast member from the show, Jeana Keough. The email told Keough not to worry about Gunvalson because she “would take care of Vicki for her.”

Death threats from overzealous fans are scary – those kind of people will do anything to impress their celebrity idols – think the John Hinckley assassination attempt of Reagan to gain the admiration of Jodie Foster. But can’t you see Vicki running around her house, deadlocking the doors, nailing plywood to the windows, and building a bomb shelter for herself? It’s a sadly amusing image.
The Real Housewives of Orange County is one of the more entertaining shows on television right now. Any show where a character is dating an old man who passes away from leukemia and then dates a co-star’s ex boyfriend… that is good reality TV. It’s trashy, it’s stupid, and it takes itself seriously enough that the audience feels like it’s in on a joke. The girls on Rock of Love, for example, understand and accept that they’re in it for the 15 minutes of fame – the housewives don’t. And that’s what makes it so perfect.
fyi on dwts – bethenny from rhnyc was there & last nite – slade & gretchen were there as well. they sit behind tom bergeron so when the camera is on him there’s a little face time.
& people is reporting this am – the countess has split from the count because of another woman that he is quite serious about. well who didn’t see that one coming.
These fugly woman (at least I think they are female) are so fake! Due to all their surgeries, they are probably made of 90 % plastic. Shoot, they might be recycleable.

anon, Interesting. I watch RHNYC and noticed that Luanne seems to be agitated this season. It seems there were several instances involving her hubby the Count that really got her worked up. Maybe she was tuned into the fact that something was going on with him.
If this is how the “real” housewives of Orange County look, then living in Orange County must be like living somewhere in between Madame Tussaud’s and the morgue. I wonder if the men from Orange County are aware that there are “real” women elsewhere.
The truth is that a lot of men in those circles cheat and sometimes they’re cheating with the friend of the wife’s. Luanne could have someone on the side as well, who knows. Their world is a very twisted one. I’m sure Luanne will be fine.
I don’t know why anyone would waste their time to threaten Vicki. No one desserves that, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Vicki is enjoying the press about it none the less. I watch their show, and she loves attention.
the oc ladies are kind of boring, but the ny ladies…now there’s some catfightin’! but i find the most obnoxious “housewife” of all to be alex’s husband, simon. the way he accosted crazy eyed ramona last week at the fashion show was nuts. if i were her i wouldn have delivered a swift kick to his balls ans called it a day.
I can’t stand that show. Why? Because dammit, I’m sick of it being what people think Orange County is.
“Oh you’re originally from Orange County? OMG like the show?!”
“NO. NOT LIKE THE SHOW.”
Something is going on with Lu Anne..they are separating. She just found out her husband, the COUNT, was cheating on her.
Gretchen’s dating Slade?
Is the rumor true concerning LuAnn and her husband?
She seems so perfect in every way….why would he leave her for someone else?
The best housewives show is Atlanta. You can take the girl out of the ghetto but you cant take the ghetto out of the girl. I’m guessing the deal with both OC and NYC is that the producers told them to ramp up the drama to be as entertaining as Atlanta.
LOL @ Annie. I’m sure that must be annoying.
This pretty much elucidates why trashy television like this makes people totally batshit crazy.
The sad thing is, I’m not surprised.
okay…it’s crazy tv, but it’s great! It is like peaking into the lives of the rich and famous and wishing we could live that life style!
Say what you want about all of these ladies, real or not, but one thing you cannot deny is that they all have tremendous amounts of ENERGY!!! My God where does it all come from? I have $$ but I’ve yet to find a reputable place to purchase that type of energy!! Seriously, I get tired just watching all of them flit from here to there. The only camera they’d need in my house before 9AM is one focused on my bed!!!
I believe that would be from all the coke they snort 🙂
Well if you’re stupid and superficial enough to want to live out your life in front of a tv camera then a little stalking from a ‘fanatical fan’ (tautology btw) is what you should expect.
I thought it was the cast for a new Planet of the Apes movie.
LOVE the Housewives of the OC.
The NJ girls are trash, Atlanta maybe a step up, and New York, well the NYC girls are cool.
But the OC girls never stop fighting and they’re beautiful – much prettier than the women on the other shows except for Kelly in NYC.

Thanks for the strategies you have discussed here. On top of that, I believe there are many factors that really keep your auto insurance premium down. One is, to take into account buying cars and trucks that are within the good directory of car insurance companies. Cars which are expensive tend to be at risk of being lost. Aside from that insurance coverage is also in line with the value of your car or truck, so the costlier it is, then the higher your premium you only pay.
