Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Will Have Entire Cast Plus Two Newcomers Returning; Tamra Wins In Children Custody Battle With Ex-Husband Simon

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 premiere has yet to be scheduled but speculations already abound as to who will make it to the final Real Housewives of Season 10 cast. The previous season brought to the TV spotlight the lives of veteran cast members Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson and Heather Dubrow along with those of newcomers Shannon Beador and Lizzie Rovsek, plus new friend of the housewives Danielle Gregorio. Rumors have it that Tamra has been fired, Heather and her husband Terry will quit and Lizzie will not be coming back. However, it now seems more likely that the entire cast will be asked to return to the show next season after all. Gunvalson, Judge, Dubrow, Beador, and Rovsek would all be returning as full-time housewives for the tenth season, which is scheduled to film beginning this month.

According to the usually reliable Rumor Fix, an insider revealed that "at the current moment, the entire cast is being asked back." There will also be some additions to the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 cast. Rumor Fix's insider source said: "There will be a new girl and a new friend. They are looking at athletes wives. There is one who plays professional baseball. There have also been talks of Kobe Bryant's wife being scoped out." However, Vanessa Bryant herself has shot down the rumors according to an entry in the wikipedia.

In related news, Tamra just won a court ruling awarding her the right to have continued 50/50 custody with ex-husband Simon Barney over their two youngest children - Spencer, 14, and Sophia, 8. In a talk with Radar Online, Simon said: "I hope that by bringing this court action it will force her to, hopefully, become a better mother. If that happens, everyone wins ... I would have been remiss if I did not fight to protect our children." There will be a separate custody hearing by December regarding 15-year-old daughter Sidney who left Tamra and has been living with her father full-time for the last year.

Still in related news, former Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi during Tuesday's edition of Bravo's Watch What Happens Live show, also hosted by Andy Cohen, got to trash talk about her former fellow housewife according to EOnline. Said she: "The thing is, Tamra Barney has lost all credibility with everybody, including the viewers. She's the biggest lying, manipulating, conniving, narcissistic sociopath. And I say she's a sociopath because sociopaths don't even realize that they do any wrong. All they do is blame everyone else for their mistakes, and that's all she continues to do. And the viewers saw it this last season." During the show, Tamra posted a comment via Instagram that says: "Holding a grudge is letting someone live rent-free in your head."
