HollywoodNews.com: The ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ are back in action for Season 7, and it seems that fans should start preparing themselves now for a major fight that will take place between Gretchen Rossi and Vicki Gunvalson.

Rossi recently revealed that the two women have a huge fight as she feels that Gunvalson says some uncalled for stuff later in the season, states UsMagazine.com.

“She kind of crossed the line with me this time. She said that I didn’t know what it was like to have a sick child, and I think that she was way out of line because obviously I’m dating a man [Slade Smiley] whose child has brain cancer. It created a lot of tension, and a lot of emotions flared up in me, and I just lost it,” Rossi revealed.

Will you tune in this season?

HollywoodNews.com: Halle Berry is in an ongoing child custody battle with Gabriel Aubry in regard to their daughter, and now it seems she wants to move their daughter out of the country.

Berry is allegedly asking a judge to give her approval to move to Europe with their daughter, something that Aubry is reportedly not too happy about, states TMZ. While a hearing is reportedly coming up, Aubry is allegedly upset for a few reasons.

He is reportedly bothered by this being a move to strip him of contact with his daughter, but also by the fact that it is rumored Berry’s new beau, Olivier Martinez, would be living with her.

Now, she may have a fight to deal with, but might have a good case as she was recently stalked by a man who broke into her property a few times.

What do you think will happen?

But the great Billy Connolly has landed a key role, according to a press release, and should finalize the casting on what’s without question one of the most anticipated one-two punch for 2012 and ’13.

Connolly will play Dain Ironfoot, a great dwarf warrior and cousin of Thorin Oakenshield, in Jackson’s two-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit.”

“We could not think of a more fitting actor to play Dain Ironfoot, the staunchest and toughest of Dwarves, than Billy Connelly, the Big Yin himself,” Jackson said in a statement to THR. “With Billy stepping into this role, the cast of ‘The Hobbit’ is now complete. We can’t wait to see him on the Battlefield!”

Connolly joins Sir Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Cate Blanchett, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom and Andy Serkis, who will return as Gollum in the films.

We’ll see the first part, “An Unexpected Journey,” on December 14, but then will have to wait a full year for the conclusion, “The Hobbit: There and Back Again,” which reaches theaters on December 13, 2013.

HollywoodNews.com: Gwyneth Paltrow made quite the fashion statement when she showed up in a light pink dress for the 1999 Oscars, but not everyone approved.

Fashionista Stacy London is looking back at Oscar fashion and revealing that she was definitely not a fan of the girly dress, states UsMagazine.com. “Her boobs barely even fit in it! It was so stupid, but she won the Oscar, so I guess I’m bitter,” London commented.

But one dress she did like was Halle Berry’s revealing Elie Saab gown from 2002: “It was stunning. She was stunning. That dress was appropriate for winning the Oscar.”
