Just Rename the Whole Show “Real Defaulters of Orange County” and Be Done With It

Damn if Alexis Bellino isn’t a lucky sonofabitch. Every time I go a’lookin’ for an update on her shenanigans, another OC lady steps into the line of fire to take a bullet for her. This time, it’s Peggy Tanous who distracted me from my mission.

Over at the OC Register is this servicey post –

Peggy Tanous, who will make her debut on the Real Housewives of Orange County when the new season airs on March 6, has something in common with a few of the other housewives, in addition to her looks:

Real estate woes.

Tanous has received a notice of default on her Irvine house, public records show.

The house, below, was purchased in 2006 for $1,379,000 from Lennar Homes of California. The default notice is dated Nov. 16, 2010. Records show the amount  in default at $190,713. The loan was for $1 million.

Tanous could not be reached for comment, but we’re seeing if someone from Bravo TV might want to give us an update.

The 41-year-old former bikini model and stay-at-home mom is “an odd mix between a holistic, new age woman and a wealthy Orange County party girl,” according to a Bravo news release.

As our TV bloggers have reported,Peggy is married to Micah Tanous, an Internet marketing entrepreneur. The couple are friends with Jim and Alexis Bellino, current cast members of the show.

The Bellinos are facing foreclosure on their 6,400-square foot Newport Beach house, which is on the market as a short sale for $3,395,000.

Several  ’Real Housewives of Orange County‘ have had real estate headaches:

Lynne Curtin:

• O.C. Housewife Lynne avoids eviction
• O.C. Housewife Lynne to bankruptcy court?

Jeana Keough:

• ‘Real Housewives’ Coto home in default
• Real Housewife saves Coto home from foreclosure
• ‘Housewives’ Coto home listed for $5.5 million
• ‘Housewife’ gets loan modification for Coto home

Tamra Barney:

• Real Housewife takes O.C. house off market
• ‘O.C. Housewives’ Ladera short sale in escrow
• ‘Housewife’s’ short sale has bank’s approval
• ‘Housewife’ foreclosure postponed to March
• Housewife sells Ladera home as short sale

At least they still have the Hummer, right? That’s equivalent to what, a two bedroom ranch? A two bedroom ranch WITH EXTRA CHROME!!!
