Heather Dubrow's 'Not Bothered' By Actress Digs

It's not an act: When Alexis Bellino and Gretchen Rossi poked fun at Heather Dubrow's "I'm-an-actress" job description, the newest addition to The Real Housewives of Orange County didn't blink an eye.

"Oh, it didn't bother me," RHOC's new arrival tells to Ology.com. "I've never gone by Heather Dubrow in my professional life, so I wouldn't expect [Gretchen] or anyone to know." But the mom of four did have these choice words for Alexis in her Bravo blog, "So Alexis. . . just because I'm not Angelina Jolie doesn't mean I'm not an actress! Jeez! Check imdb.com if you'd like my credits (which I need to update, but at least you get an idea)."

However, there was at least one thing that took this Syracuse University graduate by surprise -- her headfirst dive into a sea of blondes. "When I agreed to do the show, we started filming two days later so I was completely unprepared for it. Having never done a reality show before I was surprised by how many hours it requires. It's a huge time commitment; probably more than I've had with a scripted show."
