Cat Ommanney vs Countess LuAnn De Lesseps

If there's one thing we can say for Andy Cohen, he knows how to mix it up on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live. On Thursday's (April 28) episode, not only did he have former Real Housewives of DC cast member, Cat Ommanney, on after the network unceremoniously canceled her series, but he threw in divorced royal, the Real Housewives of New York's LuAnn De Lesseps.

It didn't take long before Cat began showing her dislike for LuAnn when Andy played a game in which The Countess judged the Brit (who made tabloid headlines after making out with Prince Harry) on her royal manners.

Not only that, but Cat took to Twitter and Facebook to make sure her feelings on The Countess were clear.

"Sorry everyone, I just wanted to clarify," she writes. "I REALLY DIDN'T ENJOY at all, being on #WWHL with @countessluann infact thought she was #notmybagatall #condescending and hope we never cross paths again #ever."

So, what did LuAnn have to say in response? "Well that was fun....," she tweets.

Cat Ommanney Makes Out With Her New Lover

Real Housewives of DC show is over, but that isn’t stopping one of the stars from going on extravagant vacation in her rockin' bikini.

Catherine “Cat” Ommanney, the British national who’s said to have had a fling with Prince Harry, showed off her killer bikini bod last week in Barbados, and Radar Online has the exclusive photos from her trip!

In her sexy black bikini, Cat got frisky with new beau Ricky Martino in the surf, seductively wrapping her legs around him while they passionately kissed.

The pair spent time at a luxurious resort and a source who spotted them told Radar Online: “They couldn’t keep their hands off each other.”

“He’s lovely, funny, talented and ambitious,” Ommanney said of Martino. “I’m totally relaxed. There’s no expectations. We’re having a nice time. We’re having fun.”

DC On Cancellation: Get Over Yourself Michaele

After Bravo officially announced that the Real Housewives of D.C. wouldn't be returning to the small screen, former castmates Lynda Erkiletian and Catherine Ommanney talked to Radar Online exclusively about their disappointment.

Catherine also had some harsh words for Michaele Salahi, addressing her recent comments that there can't be a Real Housewives of D.C. without her.

"Get over yourself, Michaele! There are a lot of things that can be done without you, actually a majority of things which aren't psychologically disturbing," Catherine told Radar Online exclusively.

"I think there was disappointment and relief," Lynda told Radar Online of the network pulling the plug.

But Catherine said she wasn't shocked by the news. "I was slightly disappointed, but not really surprised. It was the right decision.

"Bravo knew that we weren't prepared to work with Michaele again. I don't think any money or fortune or success was worth the mental strain with her, full stop. I couldn't do that again," said Catherine, who's working on a follow-up to her book, Inbox Full.

Catherine was quick to point out Michaele wasn't the reason for the cancellation. Lynda agrees, adding that she would have come back -- without Michaele.

"I wouldn't have done it if Michaele was a part of it, mainly because I found her husband to be unpredictable and scary at times."

The ladies understand the network's decision, but it doesn't soften the blow.

For now, the ladies still stay in touch, but not with Michaele, who they haven't seen since last year's televised reunion: "We're trying to be there to support each other," Lynda said. "That will continue."

The Real Housewives Of DC Officially Canceled

Real Housewives of DC has been canceled by Bravo.

The fifth series in the reality franchise premiered last year, but the network has now announced that it will not be returning for a second season, according to reports.

The show had featured Michaele and Tareq Salahi among its cast, who hit headlines across the world when they were accused of attending a White House state dinner without invitations, although they denied the allegation.

Other cast members included Mary Schmidt Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Catherine Ommanney and Stacie Scot Turner.

The Real Housewives franchise began with Real Housewives of OC in 2006 and has since expanded to include series in New York, Atlanta, New Jersey, Beverly Hills and Miami.

The cancellation of the DC installment marks the first time Bravo has ended a Real Housewives project.

Lynda Erkiletian Talks RHODC Season 2

As reported on Thursday (March 24), news that Bravo would not be renewing the Real Housewives of DC for a second season spread on the Internet.

And even though the network clearly stated that it had not made a decision regarding the show's Season 2, the reports continued. Now, one of the cast members wants to set the record straight.

"There's no official announcement," cast member Lynda Erkiletian tells Zap2it exclusively. "There's no way. [Cast member Cat Ommanney] is going on Watch What Happens Live on the 28th. One might wonder why [Andy Cohen is] having a DC housewife as a guest [if the show is canceled]."

"There's negotiations taking place," she adds. "And no decision has taken place. Whoever started the rumor was basically doing it for attention."

Cat Ommanney Launches New Book Inbox Full

Friday night, Cat Ommanney, one of the Real Housewives of D.C. launched her new book Inbox Full to a packed house at Eden. 

Looking resplendent in an aqua dress, the UK native delighted guests of the event by not only her appearance, but her candor. 

She describes her book as "a cross between Eat, Pray Love and Bridget Jones’ Diary." Sounds iike a ‘must read’ to me. As you might have guessed, the title refers to emails and text messages received throughout her earlier years.

Cat Ommanney Ready for Husband #5?

Real Housewives of D.C. star Cat Ommanney has moved on after divorcing husband Charles Ommanney — a split she disclosed to me during OK!’s fashion shoot in July 2010 before she went public with the news.

“We sat together at that house in Georgetown,” the Brit-born mom of two recalls during the book launch party for her memoir Inbox Full held at Ted Gibson Salon in NYC.

Lesson learned: She laughs that she’s going to keep her new man out of the press.

Cat is no stranger to living out her romances in the spotlight: Before starring on a reality show with her husband, she sparked a furor when she was photographed kissing Prince Harry in 2006 while he was dating Chelsy Davy.

Still, she craves celebrity.

“I’m really about Leonardo DiCaprio,” she tells me. “He’s hot and he’s an amazing actor. He’s my fifth husband.”

Fifth husband?! Yikes! Sounds like she’s out to rival Elizabeth Taylor.

Although I can only find two husbands of note, I can somehow believe she might actually be on the lookout for hubby #5, but she’s likely joking … ahem, well, planning for the future.  (No wonder she is called Catherine Ashley in the byline for Inbox Full!)

This time she intends to find herself before she ties the knot again.

“I seem to have to learn the same lesson again and again before I learn it, but I think I’ve learned my lesson now, and that is not to sacrifice who I am for anybody. You’ve gotta love yourself.”
