New Inductee On 5th Season Of "The Real Housewives Of Orange County"

Season five of Bravo's tintillating profile of Southern Californian bling-encrusted, botox-filled cadre of cougars, "The Real Housewives of Orange County," is well into production. News is already coming down the wire that rookie Alexis Bellino is adding her own brand of drama to O.C. spectacle.

When not embracing her sun-drenched life with entrepreneurial husband Jim and their three young tots, Alexis busies herself with the up market diversions of Newport and the surrounding Southern California coast.

The plucky 32-year-old blonde is the newest recruit to the popular diva vehicle driven by veterans Tamra Barney, Lynne Curtin, Vicki Gunvalson, Jeana Keough and Gretchen Rossi.

All the cattiness that sure to be Season 5 of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" will air this fall on Bravo.
