A recent episode of Bravo\u2019s Real Housewives of Orange County featured one real-life househusband bragging not about fancy cars or expensive houses but Billboard chart positions, of all things.\u00a0 Terry Dubrow, whose wife Heather stars in the season 8 edition, is the brother of Quiet Riot singer Kevin Dubrow, who died of an overdose in 2007. Now a plastic surgeon with his own jaw-dropping reality show, E!\u2019s Botched (moving to the post-Kardashian 10 p.m. slot<\/a> on June 29), co-starring Paul Nassif, a househusband formerly of the Beverly Hills edition, Dubrow keeps his late siblings\u2019s memory alive by displaying rows of platinum albums in his tony Newport Beach home and speaking of him as often as he can. \u201cI will never forget the day I came home from med school at UCLA and there was a message from my mom [saying], \u201cYour brother\u2019s album is No. 1,\u201d Dubrow recalls. \u201cNo. 2 was Thriller and No. 3 was Lionel Richie. It was huge.\u201d <\/p>\n

Growing up, the two siblings were close. As Terry Dubrow recalls: \u201cWe lived in a two bedroom apartment and I shared a room with Kevin, who was three years older than me. I had a little desk where I would be studying my mathematics and there were pictures of Roger Daltrey, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. \u2026 He had a drum set in there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upon Dubrow\u2019s death \u2014 he was found dead in his Las Vegas<\/a> Home on Nov. 25, 2007 at the age of 52 \u2014 his brother and mother gathered his possessions and that was when Terry Dubrow decided to bring the platinum records home. \u201cWe thought we would display them prominently in our house in his memory and his honor,\u201d says Dubrow. \u201cIt is something we hold in high regard. It\u2019s great that they know that my four children know their uncle was a big time rock star.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even after decades of chanting \u201cBang Your Head,\u201d Dubrow insists his older bro \u201cdidn\u2019t need plastic surgery\u201d \u2014 as for the unfortunate ones who come to Botched asking to look like Justin Bieber? \u201cIt\u2019s a cautionary tale,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Curiously, Dubrow isn\u2019t the only Real Housewives\u00a0alum with a music business connection: Lisa Vanderpump, of Beverly Hills fame, starred in the video for ABC\u2019s 1985 hit, \u201cPoison Arrow,\u201d while David Foster\u2019s wife, Yolonda, is also featured on the Beverly Hills edition. But Atlanta\u2019s Kandi Burruss, a Grammy winning songwriter with credits<\/a> on TLC\u2019s hit \u201cNo Scubs\u201d and Destiny\u2019s Child\u2019s \u201cBills, Bills, Bills,\u201d takes top prize: her wedding special drew 2.6 million viewers to Bravo on June 22.<\/p>\n
