LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – The Real Housewives of Miami cast is not split by two sofas. While a Real Housewives of Miami season three remains unconfirmed still, LALATE recently asked the charming Marysol Patton about how the show’s second reunion was filmed. During that taping, it appeared as though the show’s cast was split among two camps. But was that really the case?

As fans will remember, there was a clear tossing of tensions back and forth between the two sofas. But was the cast actually far less divided than how the reunion may have appeared?

LALATE recently asked Marysol “Viewers often wonder about the sitting arrangements during a reunion show. In some reunions, that’s really the split, the three women on the right really don’t get along with the three women on the left, it’s that simple. Was it that simple for RHOM season 2?”

LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – Real Housewives of Miami season three is not yet confirmed. But Elsa Patton is ready with her pocketbook. The equally hilarious Marysol Patton recently discussed with LALATE the need for a pocketbook and what it is like watching “Cowboy Movies” with Mama Elsa.

LALATE asked Marysol “My favorite line from the entire season last year was when Elsa said ‘Don’t make me hit you with my pocketbook’. During some of the heated scenes you had with the women [last season], did you sometimes wish you had that pocketbook with you?” Marysol replied “Well, I’m not one for violence, but everyone should have a back up pocket book to hit someone with in case of an emergency and in Miami we have a lot of emergencies.”

Marysol recently told LALATE that life with Mama Elsa is always unpredictable, even when Bravo cameras aren’t rolling. “There is something so hilarious and yet so charming in all your scenes with your mom. Whenever I chat with people about the show, they always talk about how much they love watching the scenes between you and Elsa. Off camera, over the years, what subject seems to consistently bring out the funniest moments between you and your mom?

Marysol tells LALATE “I can’t put my finger on anything in particular that makes us laugh, typically it’s a random and unexpected occurrence. Whenever I am with my mother the strangest things happen that I just don’t witness in my everyday life. Mom has the gift of being around when odd random acts of behavior from strangers occur.” She adds “If I’m not with her to witness one of these crazy occurrences she is sure to act it out in the most hysterical manner. Mom doesn’t hear as well as she use to so many times she misunderstands what I say and repeats something absolutely different such as ( Cowboy Movies she might interpret as how are your boobies). I mean who wouldn’t laugh at that?”

Marysol admits there is nothing like life with Mama Elsa. “A lot of viewers who watch you and Elsa see a bit of their own lives in your relationship on TV, and can relate to it. So, what other TV shows do you watch that you see a bit of your own life in it with your mom?” Marysol says “I honestly can’t think of any mother daughter duo that remind me of my outrageous life with Mama Elsa.” For more, follow Elsa (here and here), and Marysol (here and here).

LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – Real Housewives of Miami Season 3 filming could begin as early as next month, LALATE can exclusively report. As RHOM fans recall, Blacks Annual Gala was featured in RHOM season two. Now with this year’s Blacks Annual Gala set for April 13, 2013, are Bravo cameras ready to begin taping again?

This month, LALATE asked RHOM star Lea Black about the 2013 Gala (here), the Real Housewives of Miami Season 3, and her successful lifestyle brands Lea Black Handbags (here) and Lea Black Home (here) . “Will Bravo be filming at the Gala on April 13, 2013?” Lea replied “Well. I’m not the producer, so it’s not my decision, but I won’t be surprised if they do.”

And there could be surprises for the Gala if Bravo is filming. LALATE asked her “Recently you announced that Flo Rida will headline the 2013 Gala. And The Blacks Annual Gala has teamed up with so many exceptional celebrities over the years like Queen Latifah, Tony Bennett, Deborah Cox, Pitbull, Natalie Cole, Pharrell Williams, Paulina Rubio, and Rick Ross. Can you give LALATE some hints about any surprises in the lineup for this year, or big donations, that you are proud of?” Lea replied “If I gave you a hint it wouldn’t be a surprise!”

Last week, LALATE exclusively reported that RHOM Season 3 is a possibility. When LALATE questioned Lea “is there going to be a third season of Real Housewives of Miami” and “can you tell us about any cast changes?”, Lea replied “I heard there may be a third season and I wish I was the casting agent – have a few ideas! Ha. But that’s way above my pay grade. Stay tuned.”

LALATE also asked Lea about the Consequences Charity. “The Gala helps fund the Consequences Charity which has created a video and curriculum, showing kids the ‘consequences’ of their actions. What Real Housewives of Miami viewers may not know is how important your effort has been for young adults in the State of Florida. With the Florida Governor’s help, your charity’s curriculum is now shown in several state funded locations. Explain what is a teen ‘first-time offender’ and how the video and curriculum seeks to give these first-time offenders a second chance.”

Lea tells LALATE “It used to be that when minors got into trouble, they got a mug shot, fingerprinted, and taken straight into custody. With a lot of effort from a lot of people, there now are diversion programs and second chances.” She added “As a result of many peoples efforts , the percentage of minors taken into custody has dropped dramatically over the last 15 years or so. About three years ago, a friend of mine , Engin said to me one day, ‘all of these kids should be taught the consequences of their actions before they get into trouble.’ Most of them have no concept of the consequences and he came up with the idea of the Consequences Foundation and gave us the seed money to fund it”.

Lea further detailed that “We made a video that shows kids what happens when good kids do bad things and what the consequences can be like. Fortunately, we have been able to coordinate with the state and it’s being shown to kids that get into trouble and many times offering them a second chance.” She added “We are also working on expanding the distribution of it so that at risk kids will see it and hopefully it will help prevent juvenile crime. The video is also available for anyone to view on the charity website, theblacksannualgala.com.”

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Real Housewives of Miami 2013 still remains uncertain, claims Lisa Hochstein. Real Housewives of Miami purportedly has not yet even started filming for a new season, claims one of the stars from last season.

In recent weeks, LALATE has detailed how far in advance Bravo films Housewives shows. For example, the current 2013 season of RHOBH was filmed back in early 2012. The new season of RHOC debuting in April 2013 was filmed beginning last summer 2012, Tamra Barney tells LALATE. Now Lisa Hochstein tells news that filming hasn’t even begun for a new Real Housewives of Miami season.

When asked by OK Magazine “Are you willing to do another season of the show?”, Lisa replies “As you know we don’t have any 100 percent confirmation yay or nay yet, but I had a really good time doing it so if I was asked back I would definitely consider doing it.” Lisa, in fact, indicated that Joanna Krupa has been filming elsewhere. “With Karent I adore her. Joanna is super busy. She’s filming in Poland but we are in contact and I really like her a lot. “

And what does she think of Leah Black? Lisa tells OK Magazine “And Leah, surprisingly we’ve become pretty close. She’s actually one of my favorites. Leah is a great lady. As Ana might say, no, I’m not drinking the Leah Kool-Aid. I just really like Leah. She’s tough on the exterior but she’s soft on the inside and I think that she means well.”

CORAL GABLES (LALATE) – Joanna Krupa (Playboy photos below) and dentist / model Karent Sierra are among the changes to an updated Real Housewives of Miami debuting tonight. Added to the cast for season two are also Lisa Hochstein and lawyer and chef Ana Quincoces.

News reports last July claimed that behind the scenes production concerns during season one led to purported troubles for Bravo. For months, news analysts wondered if the show was canceled or return in a new format. But tonight’s show should reportedly bare a dramatic departure since season one.

But this time, the network is hoping for smoother results and higher ratings. Purveyors of Pop will produce Miami season two. They previously have done Bethenny Ever After, Atlanta, New Jersey, and New York Real Housewives. And in news statements this week, Pop claims the show will bare a “telenovela” like style. “Get ready for the first reality #telenovela #RHOM tonight at 9pm/8pmcst on #Bravo”, they told news moments ago.

Rodolfo Jiménez will make appearances during the season, producers reveal to news. Rodolfo Jiménez is a telenovela actor who hosted five seasons of Escándalo TV de Noche. He previously appeared on the shows La Viuda de Blanco, Decisiones, and ¡Anita, no Te Rajes.

For years, Bravo fans have wondered why no housewives have ever been invited to join Dancing with the Stars. Tonight, Bravo does the reverse, casting former DWTS season seven cast member, Joanna Krupa, as a new housewife.

In 2009, Joanna made news appearing Playboy. That same year she appeared in the TV series, Superstars, opposite Terrell Owens.

Krupa is believed to be still engaged to Romain Zago, owner of Mynt nightclub. The couple purportedly became engaged in 2009. Hochstein’s husband is a plastic surgeon.
