These ladies were officially invited -- they didn’t have to gatecrash or upset security. They are way past the auditioning stage of the reality TV show business and making headlines in their own right without having to wreck White House and Secret Service protocol!

Alexis Bellino and Gretchen Rossi of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Orange County walked the red carpet last night at Lavo in the Palazzo, and the blonde bombshells were still partying there this morning.

Alexis and Gretchen were captured with their significant others, Jim Bellino and Slade Smiley, respectively, by leadings lens lady Denise Truscello, enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday weekend at the Palazzo hot spot.
