The stars of Bravo's Real Housewives franchises are no strangers to plastic surgery. Whether they're getting their lips plumped, faces lifted or breasts done, there have been women on the shows willing to go under the knife on camera.
But on this season of The Real Housewives of Orange County, veteran Housewife Tamra Barney had her breast implants removed. And now she's appearing on The Dr. Oz Show to discuss why.
"I have a long list of reasons why I had them removed," Barney says in a clip of the episode airing Thursday. "Starting with they always felt too big for my body."

Who are these blond women and what have they done with Tamra Barney and Gretchen Rossi?
The Real Housewives of Orange County returned to Bravo Tuesday with the most unexpected of twists: Tamra and Gretchen kiss and make up. Okay, that's a joke – they don't kiss.
"We're trying to bury the hatchet," Gretchen tells her boyfriend Slade, who's totally against any form of reconciliation between the two women, whose hateful feud has fueled the series' recent seasons. "I just want to try and get all the negativity out of my life."
"Things with Gretchen have gotten so bad that it's basically me talking about her, her talking about me and just investing this time to dig up crap on each other's lives and for what?" Tamra explains, as the pair head out to make peace over mojitos, shrimp cocktail and meatballs.

Andy Cohen Receives Seven Figures for Memoir
Originally posted 08/09/2011 09:20AM
Bravo host and behind-the-scenes executive Andy Cohen has signed a "low seven-figure" deal for his forthcoming memoir, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Cohen, 43, the network's executive vice president and host of Watch What Happens: Live says of the book: "It'll be a memoir, of sorts, about my intersections with pop culture over the years, from growing up in front of the TV as a kid in St. Louis to my years at CBS News, all the way up to today. The stories I've been saving up are funny and improbable and really define who I am today."
The book, due next summer from the New York publisher Henry Holt, so far has no title, and Cohen is asking for suggestions.
