Update - RHONJ Drama

"Naughty Nice Rob", a famous celebrity blogger who was the first to break very popular celebrity news stories in the past, has just published a story about the RHONJ drama that has been going on.

The story says that Bravo allegedly was the one who set Melissa up at the Posche Fashion Show. When Melissa allefedly refused to speak to the "male stripper" that had showed up at the show, Bravo producers allegedly had Teresa talk to the man himself. But when Teresa allegedly caught onto what the man was trying to do, she allegedly stopped him and told him not to talk about her family and allegedly went right to Melissa to try and warn her. Melissa allegedly was very distraught by this and allegedly went right to Caroline and Jacqueline, saying that Teresa was the one who set her up. Jacqueline and Caroline allegedly believed her right away and were angered by Teresa's alleged actions, which would explain Jacqueline's tweets and the apparent feud that is going on between Jacqueline and Teresa.

Further, this story says that when Teresa allegedly called Jacqueline to explain what went on at the Posche Fashion show, Jacqueline allegedly hung up on her and threatened to leak photos of Joe Giudice with another girl out to dinner to the press.

This story seems SO much more believable. It's definitely plausible that Bravo set Melissa up and isn't willing to admit it. The story references the set up with Danielle Staub and her "set up" in the past - Bravo started it, but never took the blame for it because they wanted ratings.

Though Melissa retweeted this and said that it was "so not true", I think she is referring to the part about the "stripper past" and the part where she lied to Caroline and Jacqueline, saying that Teresa was the one who set her up. This story explains a lot more of the tweets that have been going on.

FINALLY, a story that makes sense, and isn't too one-sided. Nicely done, Rob!

PS: Kim G tweeted this today:

Glad to be spending quality normal time with Jacqueline... She finally sees the light!

Say it isn't so, Jacqueline!

Kelly Killoren Bensimon

These pictures were almost too funny not to blog about. Kelly Killoren Bensimon. The woman who became famous for telling Bethenny Frankel that she was Al Sharpton on Scary island. The woman who eats jellybeans and tweets crazy things that make no sense. Also, the woman who blocked me on Twitter, but that's beside the point. Finally, the woman who justified a nervous breakdown as a nervous "breakthrough." The woman who creates Twitter hashtags about herself. For example, if she were tweeting this right now, she would use the hashtag "#kkbblog". She's insane. If you didn't know who she was before reading this, do you have any idea of how crazy she is now?

Anyway, these are some pictures of her this morning volunteering as a crossing guard at her kids' school. That's great that she's volunteering and giving back to the community, but again, these pictures were too great and had to be shared.

Looking good, Kel. Whats the umbrella for?

Still trapped on Scary Island?

"You tell the kids when it is safe to cross the street. You don't tell the kids to cross when there are cars coming. When you see the walk sign, then it is safe for them to cross." "When do I use this umbrella?"

Ladies and gentlemen, the wonderful antics of Kelly Killoren Bensimon.

Update - RHONJ Drama

Lots of updates! A LOT has gone down in the past 17 hours since I last blogged. It is evident that a feud is present between Jacqueline and Teresa. Teresa tweeted this blurb this morning:

Long weekend with my girls. They have the next 2 days off school! Going to cuddle them all day. #nothingbetterthanmybabies xx. It's Kathy & Rich Wakile's 20th anniversary today. Wish them lots of love! xx.

Ashlee Holmes, Jacqueline's daughter, has also been on a bit of a tweeting spree, evidently against Teresa. Looks like despite Ashlee finally growing up and moving on her own in California, she still has A LOT of growing up to do. Some people never learn! A little view of her timeline:

some people are sooooo sad with their own lives that they feel the need to cause drama in other peoples lives to make themselves feel better. UGH..i'm sorry..i'm done now..some people just make me so angry..i don't put up with fake people &their petty bullshit... #whatgoesaround

She also tweeted this, but later deleted it (There are people watching your every move honey!):

oh & if i were Teresa..i wouldn't be bashing any "strippers" considering when her husband goes to jail she'll probably have to become one lol

We have a little more of an idea of what is going on. Avid Housewives blogger LynnNChicago (of the famous I Hate Jill Zarin Blog) published a story spilling all the details about the drama that allegedly went down at the Posche Fashion show earlier this week. Though Lynn is a good blogger and her stories are often helpful, she is also known to be a vowed Teresa hater and is 100% Team Melissa. Melissa has done an interview with her in the past, and Lynn will not release the names of her sources for this particular article. PERSONALLY, I believe that Lynn's source for her article was Melissa Gorga herself. The story seems way too pro-Melissa. PERSONALLY, I would find the story more believable if it was neutral towards both Teams Gorga and Guidice.

Anyway, Lynn's blog posted on Rumorfix: http://rumorfix.com/2011/09/exclusive-teresa-giudice-causes-explosive-fight-at-fashion-show/

Basically, she says that Teresa and Kim D (Posche owner) hired a male stripper to attend the Fashion Show and confront Melissa and reveal to everyone that Melissa was a stripper in the past. She also says that Teresa and Melissa got into it in the bathroom when Teresa allegedly pretended to be concerned about the information this male stripper was leaking. Melissa allegedly saw right through Teresa's "lies" and the two allegedly got into a heated argument. Teresa also allegedly told Melissa that Danielle Staub was on her way to the Fashion Show to confront Melissa. (Um.. what?) Melissa then allegedly called her husband and Teresa allegedly freaked out. The story escalates from there, saying that Joe Gorga arrived, was flippant with Kim D, got into an argument with Teresa, and now they are back to square one with their fighting business (all allegedly). CONTINUED... Lynn's story also "confirms" that Jacqueline skipped out on the reunion of Season 3, which was filmed on Wednesday.

Personally, I have a few problems with this story. Again, Lynn, I respect you and your blog totally but I just think it is way too transparent that your blog is coming right from Melissa's mouth. The whole stripper thing seems SO stupid and untrue. Teresa isn't the smartest person in the world, but she's not that dumb. Melissa has been with Joe Gorga for a long time now.. Since she was 22 I believe.. When exactly did she have time to be a stripper? Second, why would Teresa say that Danielle Staub is on the way? That is the stupidest idea ever. Everyone knows that Teresa hates Danielle and Danielle hates Teresa. Kim D is cordial with Danielle, but Danielle has made it perfectly clear that she would NOT be attending, or going anywhere near, the Posche Fashion Show this year. Bad call. Also, on a more personal note, I interact with Kim D on Facebook and know that she would not do anything to incite drama on the night of her Fashion Show. It's her business, c'mon! Kim is a classy lady and I don't believe that she would stoop that low. I don't even believe that Teresa would stoop that low. It all doesn't seem to be put together for me. It makes sense for me to think that BRAVO hired this person. WHO KNOWS? No one.

Lastly, I'm not sure how you can confirm that Jacqueline was not at the reunion without talking to a cast member or Bravo employee. Since Bravo employees wouldn't leak this info because it would cost them their job, this information further supports my belief that your source is Melissa Gorga herself. Plus, that would be a HUGE deal if Jacqueline decided to skip out on the reunion. Isn't it in her contract or something? Wow.

Like I said, this is JUST my opinion and I do not have any confirmed sources, but I am just using common sense here. Lynn's story is great, but it just seems like it came straight from Melissa's mouth. Let's be honest, this season neither Teresa nor Melissa have been angels. They've both done things to each other. This whole thing is just so weird to me.

After this story leaked, Teresa tweeted the following:

You know Bravo loves it when bloggers make up crazy stories to get people excited about the show. Aren't we exciting enough w/o the lies? Remember when I was supposedly punched in the face? Now supposedly Jacq slapped me. And I hired a male stripper to expose Melissa... LMAO. Sorry, it's NOT true. But you'll all have to turn in to Season 4 of RHONJ to see what really happens (the truth is actually way scarier...)

Lynn then tweeted back:

thanks for reading and confirming! :) Sorry, not "made up" Source confirmed it all Tre, Never said Jac slapped you so you're confirming the rest is true, right?

Melissa also tweeted at Lynn, saying:

Thank you.

Again, SORRY, but all sources point to Melissa being your source, Lynn. It just doesn't add up for me. Why would you press Teresa to confirm your story if it is supposedly "confirmed" already? And refusing to give up the names of your sources "like a true professional" just further support my point. I dunno....

Jacqueline, Caroline, and Kathy have basically been MIA from Twitter over the past couple hours regarding this subject. It seems to me as if the other four cast members (Jacqueline, Caroline, Kathy, Melissa) have joined forces and are now against Teresa. Uhoh.

It is Kathy and Rich Wakile's 20th Anniversary today, though! Happy Anniversary! (I LOVE Kathy btw) Teresa sent out a generic tweet wishing them a Happy Anniversary and Kathy replied:

Oh HEY THANX !!! @Teresa_Giudice BTW...these are our twitter names @Kathywakile & @richardwakile Can U believe that it's been 20 years !!!

Sounds a little sarcastic to me! Ouch.

Kim G has also had something to say on this topic, but then again, I take everything that the Housewives say with a grain of salt. With Kim G, I take a whole container of salt. We all know what kind of person Kim G is..... Anyway, she tweeted this:

I feel sorry for my friend Jacqueline...she told me I was right all along about Teresa and her lies and phony BS!! Proud of u!!

Someone tweeted this to her: @Kimgranatell ok you were on a mission and I missed it all?..sounds like your neighbor JL is now where you were a year ago!

To which she replied: @MTCPhotography I agree. Her and I had lengthy conversations about getting set up all the time!! She had enough too...just like I did!

I dunno what that's about. You were never really a part of the cast, Kim G.. You stuck your nose in everyone's business and tried to act like you were attacked. As Teresa and pretty much everyone at the Gorga Christmas Party said, "Get outta here Kim G." Puh-leeze.

She also tweeted this: U go Tom Murro for putting out that photo and story for Radar about Joe Guidice!! Great to have friends in the right places.

Not sure what she is talking about. Radar Online has nothing posted about Joe G. Again, nice try Kim G. Buh bye.

HOWEVER, I have read that the Posche Fashion Show was filmed as the finale for Season 4 of RHONJ. If that is the case, then we can expect to see this within a year or so. Guess we will just have to wait to find out the TRUTH! Well, even then we'll get the Bravo-edited truth. Hopefully my blog will still be around by then.

By the way, I got an AMAZING number of viewers in the past 24 hours.. THANK YOU EVERYONE.. Can everyone do me a favor and tweet a link to my blog and encourage your followers to read it? the link is www.tyler-mills.blogspot.com THANKS!

Also, follow me on Twitter! @tylmills

PS: I'd like to make an addition to yesterday's blog. A fellow blogger, I forget who (sorry!), mentioned that Jacqueline's tweets could be referring to what happened at the Fashion Show (about someone getting set up) and Joe Gorga's tweets (about blood being thicker than water) could be about what was going on at the reunion. I find this believable, too.. but then again.. we can never know the full story. As I always like to say, there are three sides to every story - One person's side, the other person's side, and the truth. PEACE

RHONJ Drama

The annual Posche fashion show NEVER fails to disappoint. Just like every other year, this year's was allegedly filled with drama. Of course, no one can officially say anything because the 'wives are in the middle of taping Season 4. Of course, info leaks and rumors are started. Here's a compilation of all of the drama from the past 48 hours and my take on it....

The Posche fashion show was set to take place last night at Son Cubano Restaurant in Edgewater, NJ. It was confirmed that Teresa would be there and it was confirmed that Melissa would NOT be there. Turns out Melissa really was there. She tweeted this picture of Jacqueline..

Look at @JacLaurita right now....

The drama then continued when Jacqueline got home and posted a series of tweets.. See below (tweets are in order from oldest to newest):

I feel nauseous and feverish. No reunion for me.Sorry guys.XOXO!

Someone( not me) got set up tonight. There are some sneaky people trying to make someone look bad & then play innocent on camera. Sad.

2b honest.I'm tired of the BS &shitty low life people.I didn't know this was what I signed up 4.I have 2rise above&move on.

This leaves us with a couple of questions: Who set up who? Is it someone from the cast? ("play innocent on camera") or a wannabe like Kim G? Did Jacqueline quit the cast mid-season 4 a la Dina Manzo? Did she not go to the reunion? Is that even allowed by Bravo?? Uhoh.

Then, the next morning, a series of tweets ensued from both Jacqueline and Joe Gorga. Joe Gorga's tweet was followed by a bunch of other retweets bashing his sister. He also got into a fight with a fellow blogger (shout out to @AllAboutTRHONJ) menacing her to admit that she is hired by Teresa. (For the record, she isn't).

@JacLaurita: I can't be part of the Charade anymore.It's unsettling. It's disturbing & against what I stand for. I'm a REAL housewife

@joegorga: I thought the saying was blood is thicker than water. #BULLSHIT

Joe also tweeted @ Melissa's sisters calling them "the best sisters ever."

The Manzo boys and Greg then got into a series of replies with Joe giving him encouragement and offering up "group hugs". Aw. Who cares? Just tell us the drama!!

Then, this story leaked to the press saying that a fight ensued between my beloved Teresa and the evil Monica Chacon in the bathroom at the Posche Fashion Show. This was confirmed by guests at the show (Tickets were available at the very high price of $135 to the general public and were sold out back in July). The story cites that the set up was inviting Monica Chacon to the party to get in a fight with Teresa. I believe that and it explain's Jacqueline's tweets (kind of), but it doesn't explain Joe Gorga's tweets at all. Here's a link to the story:

http://www.realitytea.com/2011/09/28/jacqueline-laurita-skipping-rhonj-reunion-ready-to-move-on-plus-teresa-giudice-drama-at-posche-fashion-show/

Here's another twist: the reunion for Season 3 was filmed today. Yes, while they were taping Season 4. Yes, the morning after the Posche fashion show when all of this drama ensued and the 'wives were probably all hungover. No bueno.

Another twist to the story: A rumor was started that Melissa Gorga was a stripper in her twenties. Excuse me while I laugh. HAHAHAHA. I always got that vibe from her, but didn't really believe it because she met Joe at such a young age. However, Melissa put the rumors to rest and tweeted this:

Fact: I was never a stripper... But have nothing against them.

Aww man. That would've made for a great story line. I can just imagine Teresa now: "A STRIPPER?!? AND THE MOTHER OF MY NIECE AND NEPHEWS?!?! YOU F*@#NG WHORE!!"

Anyway, finally we get some tweets from Teresa on her way home from the reunion taping. Teresa isn't one to tweet all day long, she tweets in spurts which is kind of annoying. Here's her series of tweets, jumbled together into one long paragraph:

On my way home... Loooong day. Wow has Twitter gone crazy. Wow have some people gone crazy... #sadforthem. I don’t even wanna go there b/c I don't fight on twitter not w/ fans, not haters, not w/ mean RTs & def not w/ a friend (ahem) or my family! But the rumors are getting ridiculous. Let’s get this straight: I LOVE my WHOLE family. Would never do anything to hurt them. xx. THIS is exactly why I didn't want my family on the show--people come out of nowhere to try & hurt you. I don’t want my family hurt. Ever. Breaks my heart that anyone would believe I would be part of something to hurt my family. Fame can mess with your mind. Family is forever.xx. And for the record: I don’t believe MG was a stripper but I wouldn’t care anyway. (I have lots of ex-stripper friends... ahem...). She’s the mother of my niece & nephews & part of my family. You’ll see how I defend her in S4. xx #lovemybrother #lovemyfamily

Despite the ridiculous amount of "xx"s she put in that series of tweets, this was actually really big of her to tweet this. It doesn't really give us info, but it shows us what kind of person Teresa is. The "(ahem)" part after friend in the beginning makes me question if something went down with her and Jacqueline. It further confirms that we will see more of this drama unfold in Season 4.. Which could be a long wait.

For the record, no tweets have come in from Kathy Wakile and the only tweet from Caroline Manzo was one totally unrelated. Caroline really isn't one to feed into the rumor mill or the drama at all.

THIS JUST IN... A tweet from Jacqueline...

I love the blame shifting when someone is caught in lies. Unbelievable. There is no real love there. Things aren't always what they seem. SOME people live a different life OFF camera then they do on. ( ahem) You'll all see through the bullshit if you look closely enough. I think you all are pretty smart

OOOOOMMMMMMMGGGGG. This further suggests a feud between her and Teresa. I'm dying to know and I'm determined to find out... WHAT IS GOING ON!!!! Thanks for reading. I'll keep you updated.

Real Housewives of Atlanta are back!

I am so excited that the Real Housewives of Atlanta is coming back on the air! I absolutely love all of the Housewife shows, and each of them for their own special reason. For example, I love the Beverly Hills Housewives because of how much money they have. I love the Atlanta Housewives because of how "ghetto fabulous" they are. I'm not at all racist, but this is the only housewife show with African Americans and you can tell the 'difference'. But I love it just the same. I just started watching the Atlanta wives this past season so I don't really know much, but like any other fan I have my opinions on the wives.

Kim is hysterical. I love the faces that she makes and her antics. I also love her relationship with Sweetie. I think that she plays into the whole joke that Sweetie is her "slave". I can see a good relationship between her and Sweetie and I don't think she takes advantage of Sweetie at all. I think she makes light of the fact that people make jokes about it. I think the whole "Big Poppa" thing is totally gross, as is the fact that she now has three kids from three different fathers. But, hey, she makes a good life for herself and she loves it, right?

Nene is pretty funny too. I think that the conflict between her and Kim is simply because they are both so similar. Nene's faces and antics are hysterical just like Kim. I feel bad for her and the divorce that she is going through with Gregg and the trouble that she goes through with her son. I LOVE when Nene gets mad. She is hysterical. The fight on the bus between Nene and Kim is one of my favorite scenes in Housewife history. I also love the fight between Nene and Dwight. She is too funny!

I don't really have an opinion on Cynthia, Kandi, or Sheree. They weren't featured too largely last season. I do agree with Kim and think that Cynthia and Peter's marriage will not last at all. I think Sheree is one of the more sophisticated wives of this series. But, she doesn't let that sophistication hide her anger! Her fight with her party planner was also one of my favorite moments in housewife history... "And who gon' check me boo?" I think Kandi is also one of the more sophisticated, but she is definitely all business. She's a great singer and I love her music, but she doesn't really feed into the drama. Sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes it's a bad thing... Every fan loves some housewives drama, right?

Phaedra is one of the funniest Housewives on this series. She truly is a Southern belle like she states. I love the Phaedra-isms... the sip and see, "everybody knows", the funeral home, the due date drama.. What else? The things that come out of her mouth are too funny.

I've posted the preview that was on Bravotv.com for season 4.. November 6th at 10pm.. I can't wait! It's almost a bittersweet premiere - it marks the end of my favorites, the Real Housewives of New Jersey, but the start of an equally great series!

Teen Mom

I don't normally blog about Teen Mom and I haven't really been keeping up with it like I do with my other shows, but I thought that I'd do a short blog just to express my opinions on this show.

The only person that I really like on this show is Maci. I think that she is the best mom on both Teen Mom shows. She truly understands what it's like to be a mother. She has balanced work, school, and parenting and still has time for a relationship. Unlike other teen moms on the show, she doesn't let her relationship affect her parenting skills or any other aspect of her life. She knows what she's doing and she is independent of her parents entirely, but still has them in her life. Not to mention Bentley is the cutest kid!!

Farrah is a spoiled brat. You can tell that she came from money because unlike any of the other moms, she has no concern about money or work. Her relationship with her mom is extremely weird. If she argues with her mom so much, I don't understand why she rents a house directly across the street from her. And her mom is ALWAYS there! It's insane. Farrah is a good mom, but I just don't think she has her head on right. Moving to Florida may be a good thing for Farrah to do, but it's not a good thing for her as a parent nor is it a good thing for her child. She can't take Sophia so far away from her only family. Also, she is going to have to start working to pay rent and pay for child care now that she will be so far away from her mom. I know she went through with the move, so maybe we will see more in a Teen Mom Season 3?

Amber is completely insane. Her and Gary's relationship reminds me of Ronnie and Sam from Jersey Shore. They're always getting back together and they're always fighting! Amber really isn't a good mom and Gary really isn't a good dad. I feel bad for Leah that she has to live through all of that craziness. Amber doesn't have her head on straight at all. Living for her is so cheap (her rent for her house is less than $700 a month!), yet she doesn't own a car to take herself to court dates or to drop her daughter off at her father's house. I understand that these girls get paid A LOT of money to be on this show, but they definitely don't show it.

Last, but certainly not least, is Catelynn. I don't even see her and Tyler as teen parents. I don't really even understand why they're on the show. To be honest, when I'm watching this show on DVR, I normally skip over their parts. To me, they are so much more immature than the other parents and they come off as so much younger than they really are. They have some serious growing up to do. They should probably get rid of their baby faces while they're at it! haha!

I like Teen Mom 2 a lot better. I LOVE the drama that goes on legitimately every single week with Janelle, Kieffa, and Barb. I don't really care for Kailynn but she has her fair share of drama too. I love Chelsea and Aubree, even though Chelsea is a spoiled brat like Farrah. I like Leah too and I feel so bad for her with what she's going through with her daughter's medical problems. Hopefully that will come back on the air soon!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

I'm watching this episode with my bff's Gio Ronnie and Bridget. This whole experience solidifies my obsession with reality tv - I'm demanding that they be quiet, sit in a certain position, and only talk and move during commercials. I really am obsessed. Maybe I should go to rehab.

Taylor is drunk out of her mind! Lisa always says it like it is; there is no beating around the bush with her. I like to see Kim as the voice of reason as well! Finally, like Kyle said, someone is looking to Kim for advice. I think its good for Kim's self esteem as well. Is Taylor really hiding out in the closet in Kyle's suitcase? WOW! I didn't think that anyone could take the cake over Kim for level of intoxication, but here we are.. Season 2 Episode 3 and Taylor takes it! I think it was a mixture of the alcohol and Taylor's life problems. There were a lot of rumors in the tabloids about Taylor getting drunk a lot over the course of her relationship struggles with Russell, so now I kind of see some truth in the stories. I agree with Kyle - this is NOT a normal reaction to someone losing their makeup bag! She is really going insane. I don't know why Taylor is staying with Russell, but then again I ask that of so many relationships (both Hollywood and non-Hollywood). I agree with Kyle - when you're in love with someone, you try your best to make it work, but when someone treats you the way that Russell has treated Taylor, that's an entirely different story.

I love dinner parties in Beverly Hills. They're always so classy - full of nice food, personal chefs, and good wine. I thought the episode with Allyson DuBois was one of the best episodes in Housewives history. I could quote that episode for days (along with many other Housewives episodes). I hate how Adrienne always acts so concerned for other people. She's nice and she's one of my favorites, but the drama never involves her. I can see her getting cut a la Cindy Barshop next season. This dinner party wasn't as exciting as the previews cracked it up to be. All the drama was about Taylor.

I think that the name of the show should be changed to Taylor's Divorce from Russell. Over the past couple episodes, it has been all about Taylor! Finally we are getting a break and switching to some drama with Kim and Adrienne (well, mostly Kim.. Adrienne is playing Mother Goose again). Paul does seem to get too involved in Adrienne's business affairs, but I can see that he is just trying to wear the pants in the relationship. Adrienne doesn't let him at all. But that's their relationship and somehow it works for them. Kim was definitely drunk on the phone. I wonder if she will make it to the airport on time? Till next week...

Real Housewives of New Jersey

I have been waiting for this episode for so long and it is finally here! There are so many rumors out there about the trip to Punta Cana and I'm excited to finally see it on camera and see what really happened. (FYI - I'm referring to the rumors about the fight on the beach between Kathy and Teresa, and the fight at the bar which results in more legal woes for Joe and Teresa as well as Albie Chris and Greg, I believe.) I'm writing this blog as I watch the show, so these are my immediate thoughts on the show!

Seeing the Jersey crew in a new setting is always so funny. You can tell that they don't belong - it's like watching a fish out of water. You can see that everyone is going on this trip to have fun and has good intentions. However, once you're with the same people for five days, you get sick of them. One wrong breath will set you off sometimes! We'll see how the drama folds out...

I wonder if they all know that they should be saying that they lost "one suitcase" NOT "one luggage." Maybe it's another one of those Jersey-isms. At least its not just Teresa this time! I'm SO GLAD that Teresa finally admitted that she has done things to hurt her brother, sister-in-law, and cousin too. FINALLY it came and I can consider her my favorite again without having any remorse! Teresa is always so funny too. I can't help laughing whatever scene she's in!

The Gorgas have two things on their mind: sex and hats. They're either talking about one or wearing the other! Sometimes their sex talks are nasty. Who wants to hear about that? They never disappoint with the hats either. Winter in Jersey = robbers hat. Summer in Punta Cana = bandanas. Too funny!

Punta Cana looks so gorgeous. If it weren't so expensive, I'd be there for spring break. The sky and sunset is to DIE for!! Teresa definitely wins the competition over the nicest bathing suit. She rocked it with the gold and the heels. Melissa had flip flops and a one piece on! haha!

Aaaand here it is.. the scene that we've all been waiting for! Oh, the suspense.. We see everyone in the same outfits that we saw in the preview, the same seats, everything! Teresa does seem to think that everything is about her. She must have a problem processing things. Kathy means well in the things that she says. Teresa takes things and interprets them and responds accordingly. I don't blame her for the way she responds because it's based on what she interpreted from the conversation. The same thing happened at the Posche fashion show. Teresa misunderstood Kathy. You can see Kathy's frustration when Teresa doesn't understand where she's coming from or what she's trying to say. I'm glad that Joe Giudice decided to be the bigger person this time and put an end to the drama. I think what Greg said about Joe and Teresa using "third grade words" was very rude and uncalled for. Greg always says that he isn't on anyone's team, but he definitely doesn't act that way. He is in NO position to be saying things about people like that. You also have to wonder how much everyone had to drink before this show. Greg Bennett tweeted "Omg we're all so drunk." So, you can't really take what everyone is saying very seriously. Then again, drunken words are sober thoughts...

We see the preview of next week. It's a semi cliffhanger and of course we can't see what exactly is going on. Hopefully the online previews will be a bit clearer. Melissa looks like a crazy person when she is performing. Can't wait for that! Watch out for pictures from Fashion Night Out! I'm waiting to get my Macbook back to post them - this PC is too slow! Until then...

Jersey Shore

I really missed watching Jersey Shore! Tonight I watched both this week and last weeks episode, so I thought I would blog about both of them. I still have pictures coming from Fashion Night Out when I met Ramona, Kelly and Luann from Real Housewives of New York City, so watch out for those too!

I am SO over the Ronnie and Sam drama. I've lost count of how many fights they've had or caused. Why does Ronnie give her roses without saying anything to Sam? Then he gets mad when she wonders if the roses are for her? Those two are crazy. Then he goes up to her and tells her he loves her, no matter what. Did he love her when he was cheating on her, looking for another girl to take home, paying for another girl to come to Italy, or arguing with her? I don't know why Sam keeps going back to him and keeps trusting him. He's "done her dirty" so many times that she should be used to it! We've seen so many Ron and Sam apology scenes that I don't even feel the need to comment on this one.

Looking at Mike with his neckbrace on just makes me laugh. The fight was so anticlimatic. Mike essentially threw himself into the wall. Ronnie did nothing. I don't really like Mike - he causes too much drama. When Snooki gave him the chance to apologize, he still ruined it by trying to cause drama. He is so pathetic!

Snooki always makes me laugh. It was so funny when she walked past the church and flipped out because the priest asked her to cover up. You can tell that she really likes Jionni, but he is really mean to her! He can't try and change her or expect her to be someone different just because he doesn't like it. I felt so bad for her when Jionni was yelling at her over the phone and she was telling him how much he loves and misses her. If I were her, I'd either tell him that she's not changing or kick him to the curb. She must really love him though because she is so quick to defend him even after he treats her like that. Things must really have turned around for them, or at least I hope so. I know that they are still together today.

Pauly and Vinny dressing up and dancing like guidos was hysterical. I've never seen anyone like that, but maybe it's popular down at the Jersey Shore? Who knows! Apparently they were dressed like every girl that Jenni has ever dated. I also loved how close Deena and Snooki were when they were fighting that girl in the club. Snooki didn't even know what happened but she went right to fight the girl. They have a tight bond! Deena was so funny when she kicked out the boy that she called over to hook up with! It was a little weird that he had a "bite" on his neck, but I didnt think she was going to kick him out! haha!

I absolutely love when Snooki and Deena get drunk together. They are a hilarious duo. Who cares if they wanted to have a little lesbian action? They were having fun and loved every minute of it. Does anyone else notice that Snooki likes to sleep until like 5PM?! She must party hard! I love when Deena says that she "does sex." Example: "Usually when I do sex, I remember that I did sex... I dont know..." She makes no sense when she talks and I love it! Lastly, the car accident. The moment that I have been waiting for all season. I have to say it wasn't all that it cracked up to be. It was really funny, but when I saw Snooki crying I felt bad! Of course they left us on a cliffhanger, so more to come next week....

Real Housewives of New Jersey!

After a two week wait, my favorite show is finally back... Real Housewives of New Jersey!

Background on this show  I love everyone on this show in their own seperate way, but when it comes down to it I am totally Team Teresa. I love Jacqueline, she truly is her own person and she doesn't judge anyone. Same with Caroline, but she also has that motherly figure that is sort of her signature in the group. Teresa is so funny - how can you not love her? People might hate her because she says some mean things, but she says what's on her mind. There is no fake with Teresa, and she admits that. I like Kathy, and I don't really take sides with her and Teresa's fight. I see both sides in their little tit-for-tat. I can see how Teresa was hurt by Kathy's comments, but I can see Kathy struggling to get the family together. Last but not least, Melissa. Melissa and I have a love-hate relationship. I don't like how fake she is. She says one thing to Teresa's face, and then goes behind her back to her sisters and says another. OH and her sisters are extremely trashy wannabes. Every scene that they are in it is like they are begging for camera time. PLEASE! I like Melissa's fake side, but then I remember that it's her fake side. Does that make sense? I guess I like what I see, but I can see through her. Last but certainly not least, I HATE Kim Granny-tell. HATE HATE HATE. That is all.

This episode is fun. I like how everyone comes together for the race and there is not really any drama. I thought it was hilarious that Joe Giudice brought sausage and wine to the race at 8:00AM. I love the trio of Chris, Albie and Greg. I love how accepting Chris and Albie are. It's not every day that you see two brothers looking for a girlfriend sharing a "bachelor pad" with their gay best friend.

I got the chance to do a step and repeat at Fashion Night Out with my friend Veronica, and I must say it is as fun as Melissa makes it look! haha! I have to say, I like Melissa's song. It's not a song that I would listen to when I'm in a bad mood or a good sing-along song, but it's perfect for a club on a Saturday night when all you want to do is dance. I'm anxious to see what the rest of Melissa's album sounds like. Melissa and Joe are definitely the young ones of the group. Can you imagine Teresa and Joe going out with the Manzo boys and Greg? Nope, neither can I. Joe Gorga, we don't care if your penis is named Tarzan nor do we care if it's groomed. Unnecessary scene, Bravo.

Lauren and Vito are so cute together! I'm so happy that despite Lauren's bad self-image, she can be happy with someone and be together for a couple of years (two and a half seasons of Housewives time). He makes her really happy and supports her no matter what.

Milania is my favorite Housewife kid ever. She's a five year old terror and I love it! She's so funny. Teresa's right, she knows how to get what she wants, but Teresa really has to draw the line sometimes and tell her that she's the boss. Teresa quote of the week: "Princess Milania, at your servant." That quote is up there with "ingredientses" and "cum-in." That is all. I like that she's finally realizing that everything doesn't have to be over the top. Bravo, was it really needed to show that the plates were 99 cents like three times? I see this scene in the show, then at the same time inTouch is printing a story of her vow renewal in which she wore a $25,000 dress. Maybe things have really turned around for her? Lets hope! I loved Milania telling her friends "Don't eat this cake, because you will hurt my feelings!" She is so funny!!

I'm glad that Teresa admits that both her husband and brother are at fault in this situation. I didn't like how Rich makes the comments to Joey Gorga about knocking another one of Joe Giudice's teeth out. He always does that. He's like another Simon van Kempen - a wannabe Housewife starting drama! If you follow both of them on twitter you know what I mean. G to the IA - the songs were cute, but please don't try and pursue singing like Zia Melissa! She can definitely see that her mom and uncle are fighting. I hope this is a wake up call for all of them - Teresa, Joe, Melissa, Joe - that they need to stop the feuds now. Gia has to write a song about her worrying about them fighting while she is at school? Pathetic. Nothing that they can say will make her believe that everything is normal. She knows.

I cannot WAIT for the Punta Cana episode. If I were Caroline, I'd be terrified of going on vacation with these people too. A Housewives trip can NEVER be a good thing. But it's good for the viewers!! Drama drama drama!!!!

PS - I love how I can now consider watching Housewives part of my homework. It makes me feel a  bit better about myself than if I were just sitting here watching the show like a pathetic addict. Now, off to start that reading that I have to have done for 7:30AM............

Kim Kardashian's Twitter Stupidity

I saw this tweet from Kim Kardashian yesterday and pretty much spit out my food from laughing so hard. This woman cannot get any stupider. Quote:

"@KimKardashian: Ate a bite of a salad & an olive was in it.I liked it but scares me bc I hate olives! Hope my taste isn't changing,I don't wanna like olives"

 

Is she kidding?!? "I don't wanna like olives." REALLY? Is there a Twitter Hall of Fame for stupid tweets? This would definitely be inducted within five minutes. I don't even know how to explain my reaction to this tweet other than the fact that it showed me how stupid Kim really is. It doesn't get any funnier than this!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

I have been so excited for the season premiere of the RHOBH since the end of season one. How amazing was last season? And how bad of a cliffhanger was the season finale? So annoying! Of course this season is a lot more "taboo" because of the drama that has been going on with Russell and Taylor over the past couple weeks. I'm not really sure how I feel about them airing footage with Russell in it as of right now, but I will have to see what kind of light he is portrayed in. I would assume that Bravo wouldn't do anything to disrespect him or Taylor. But, they wouldn't run away from the astronomical ratings they're probably going to get, either.

I thought that the little bit on Russell's suicide at the beginning of the episode was really sweet. It was a nice tribute to Russell, but there's always the rest of the season to see it play out. Holy lip fillers on Kyle Richards! She comes in a close second to Taylor Armstrong with the lip fillers.

A bit of background on my history with the RHOBH - I love everyone on this show except for Taylor, who I can't stand, and Camille, who I hate almost as much as I hate Danielle Staub. Oh, and just for the record, I hate Allyson DuBois too.. but who doesn't? Something that I love about all of the Housewives shows is that we know what happens at the end. For instance, we know that Pandora, Lisa's daughter, just got married recently. It is very exciting to see throughout the season what leads up to these things. I have a favorite thing about all of the Housewives shows. For Beverly Hills, I love how freakin' rich they all are. They can spend money like its water and not have to worry about it running out one day, because they have stable businesses and careers (cough, cough Kim Kardashian).

I feel so bad for Kim. Kyle was so mean to her last season. No matter how she was acting, if you knew that she was having a problem with anything - you should have gotten her help. Kyle repeatedly put her down and exposed her on camera. That's not what sisters do! In this case, it seems like the big fight was exactly what Kyle and Kim needed, and now they are in a good place and all is good. I love them both!

As much as I said I hated Camille, I feel like this divorce was just what she needed. Don't get me wrong, I would never wish that on anybody, but I feel like it just brought her back into reality from that friggin' lala delusional land that she was living in. We sort of saw her coming back into it towards the end of season one, but in this episode of season two, we see an entirely different Camille.

Adrienne and Paul are so funny! They really are the Bickersons! Did Adrienne seriously get a dog that looks just like Giggy? The small dog is definitely Lisa's thing, and I don't think anyone could rock the dog with the poise, confidence and affection that Lisa has! Sorry, Adrienne! I'm also really skeptical about the gold tinsel in Adrienne's hair. It's really trashy in my opinion, but it kind of looks good with her hair color. I'm sure that she could afford to pay for real gold tinsel for her hair, but I just don't think it reflects her personality. WHO PAYS $2,200 FOR A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE? This is why I love the Beverly Hills housewives. They buy this stuff and think NOTHING of it. They don't even have to worry about saving that money... it's pocket change for them.

A Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Dinner Party? This HAS to end badly... I was really happy to see Taylor on this episode. It made me sad to see her this happy knowing that something so tragic would happen months later. Ken's response when Taylor was talking about going to therapy with Russell was completely uncalled for. You can see how it immediately upset Taylor. I thought that it was nice of Kyle to go to her rescue and calm her down. Kyle may not be the best sister, but she is a great friend. I was really surprised that Lisa and Ken actually walked across the street to Adrienne's house! Knowing them, they would probably have hired a driver! It was so funny when the chef had his assistants close the door when he heard Lisa was there. She must really bug him! Paul was SO funny when he alluded to seeing Camille's previous "performances" (a.k.a. her porn that she denied time and time again last season).

What did I say? This dinner party couldn't have ended without a fight. Ken did hurt Taylor when he made the comment about her going to therapy with Russell. It may have been his opinion, but the way that he worded it made it seem stuck up and it really hurt her feelings. Yes, she did feel offended. Offended is not a bad word. If your words offended someone, you have to own up to it! It was also really disrespectful that Ken let Giggy drink out of the champagne glass. I can't stand when people treat dogs as people. There is no need for a dog to be drinking champagne that costs over $2,000 a bottle or out of a glass that costs just as much. That's what dog bowls are for! What happened to Ken and Lisa this season? They seem really stuck up!

Once again, I freaking hate cliffhangers! The first episode is always the worst, because we see the best moments of the season and we have no idea what episode these moments are going to be on! UGH! This season looks really great though. More dinner parties from hell? Adrienne washing a turkey with hand soap? Kyle actually standing up for Kim and Kim cursing someone out? DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA! I love it!!!

KUWTK Finale!

I know this aired as a two part finale, but I'm just blogging about it once...

How funny were Kendall and Kylie stealing Rob's beers and pretending that they were drinking them? Everyone seemed to be picking on Rob this episode! I love the sibling bond that all of them have. They laugh crazy big, they fight crazy big, and they make up crazy big (anyone catch the Caroline Manzo reference?). Rob was so disrespectful to Kim. I would never cross that line with my sister and disrespect her like that in front of her boyfriend. I don't know why Rob is so upset that he doesn't have a job. It seems to me like he hasn't really done much to get himself a job. He says that he is jealous of the life that his sisters have made for themselves. I'm sure that if he got off his a** and tried to do the same thing, he could be just as successful as his sisters, if not more. He has the Kardashian name, the biggest name in Hollywood right now. I just don't see why he doesn't get himself a job!

Everyone is so mean to Scott, and I sort of understand why. I see his efforts to move forward from his past and make everything better, but like Kris J said, he takes four steps forward and twelve steps back. He really should have listened to her when she suggested that he go to a rehab facility to deal with his problem. At this point, I think that it is the only thing that can help him. (Speaking of Kris J, as I mentioned in my last blog, I am so tired of hearing her cry! That is all.) I don't get why Kourtney keeps going back to Scott. So many people these days are dealing with single parenthood and

I really like Kim and Kris together. They are really cute together. I can't wait for their wedding episode! Also, how cute is Bruce with Mason? He is so good with kids and you can see that he really loves spending time with Mason. He's also so funny! I love how excited he got when Kris came to him and asked him if he could marry Kim. So funny! He's in the running for my favorite Kardashian.

Aaaaaand there goes Kris Jenner, the control freak. First comes the tears. Then she wants to help him plan the most romantic moment of HIS and KIM'S life. Kris Jenner doesn't come into the picture. At all. "When are you going to ask her to marry us?" REALLY?! She is possibly the most controlling person I have ever seen. Then, she comes out with a line like "Operation Pumpkin." So funny. Mouse? Carriage? I can't!

Kim spends money like it's water. I personally cannot wait for the day that it catches up with her and she goes bankrupt a la Teresa Giudice. Her comment towards Kris about his apartment in New York was disgusting. She isn't in touch with reality - at all. I would rather live in a low rent house and have 10 million dollars in the bank than have a 10 million dollar house and no money in the bank. It's not worth it!

I thought it was really cute that Kris was getting cold feet. I would be too after that fight/reality check with Kim! It was also really cute that Kris went to his sister for advice on what he should do. She knew what was best for him, so he decided to go along with it. I think that the way that Kris ACTUALLY proposed was so much more romantic than the way that he had planned to. If there's anything I hate more than Danielle Staub, it's cliffhangers on reality television. SO annoying! We hear the clanking of Kim's heels coming up the stairs, then just as Kim is about to open the door - commercial!

Everyone's reaction to her engagement was so funny. The Kardashians never fail to miss an opportunity to make money! Remember the week after they got engaged and all of these pictures were posted in a magazine? Haha! The season finale of KUWTK is never that exciting. There's always something more (more money for them!). This was a really great season, though, and I'm so excited for the wedding special! Now, I'm off to watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (Housewives are my personal specialty, so this promises to be a good blog)!

Keeping Up With The Kardashians

So I finally decided to get caught up on Keeping Up With The Kardashians tonight. I watched the one hour Bora Bora episode. The Kardashian/Jenner clan never ceases to amaze me. I love all of them and still am addicted to their show like I am addicted to every other reality TV show, but they are all out of their mind crazy.

Kim is possibly the most materialistic person I have ever met. Who brings $75,000 earrings on a trip to a tropical island? I'm so happy to see her with someone who can put her in her place and show her that the materialistic things are not that important at all. I really like Kris. He wants to bring Kim back to reality and help her to realize what is truly important in life. The funniest part of the episode was when Kris told her that if he jumped in the water and broke his leg, she wouldn't have even shed a tear for him and she started bawling over losing an earring which they found five minutes later. Of course she denies it, but we all know that it's true. Another funny moment is when Kim says that she works hard. Granted, the girl does a lot - photoshoots, perfumes, clothing lines, etc., but what does she do that requires her to think? She does a great job at signing her name on the dotted line to pay other people to do basic things. It sickens me that there are people with college degrees that are unemployed and Kim Kardashian makes over $17 million dollars for smiling for the cameras on her wedding day.

Kris Jenner is getting on my last nerve. She is one of the most dramatic people I have ever met! She is also the queen of the smoky eye. I'm not sure how Olivia Blois Sharpe from Jerseylicious hasn't approached her yet to be her makeup artist. Olivia loves a smoky eye! Granted, Kris J is a very hard worker. She works tirelessly to make sure her kids make the most money possible. She would be a lot less annoying if she would stop acting like her children. She is fifty-five years old and married. She does not need to be worried about having a hot beach body. Her baby voice and her dramatic ways are above her youngest kids. When Bruce introduces the idea of renewing their vows on the beach, she gets upset because she does not want to draw attention to herself because she is insecure. When Kim shows her some dresses/sarongs that she could wear to the vow renewal ceremony, she is brought to tears over the fact that her body might be exposed. She sounds like an insecure thirteen year old girl who is trying to impress all the boys at school. Again, she is fifty-five and is celebrating her twentieth wedding anniversary! She does not need to be acting that way!!

Lastly, I'd like to comment briefly on the drama that went down between Scott and Rob. I understand both sides of Kourtney's situation with Scott. He has done a lot of bad in their relationship, and while most people would be done with him, she chooses to stay with him because he is the father of her child and she wants the best life as possible for Mason (who is completely adorable, by the way!). Scott is a good father to Mason, don't get me wrong. However, I always flash back to the scenes in Vegas or Miami in which he was belligerently drunk and think of these scenes as the "true Scott." I think that Rob is being the classic over-protective brother towards Scott and he cannot see past these scenes either. The apology was vulgar and quick, but I think that an apology was just what Rob needed to move forward with his relationship with Scott. I'm glad they started to patch things up... until Scott started drinking again (He needs to drink to "fit in"? Really Scott?).

WOW. Blogging about these episodes really makes me think a lot more about them! I kind of like it. This week, I'll most likely be doing two more - one for the Keeping Up With The Kardashians Two-Part Finale (airs Sunday and Monday) and another for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (which I am so excited about!). OH, and I'll be posting some pictures from Fashion Night Out when I (hopefully) meet Ramona, Kelly, and C(o)untess Luann. This is exhausting! LOL

Fashion Night Out

So excited for Fashion Night Out next week with @vernnnb and some friends from school. We're going to the New York & Company show, and the Real Housewives of New York City will be there!! Hopefully we'll get to meet Ramona, Kelly, and Luann! I got the chance to meet Ramona when she came to Norwalk back in June, but she was late and I had to leave. Now I'm so much more excited about this event. I can meet all three of my favorite crazy New York housewives in one place! Hmmm.. what to say to them....

First Post

This is my very first blog post! I'm excited about this blog. I've always wanted to start one, but never really had the guts and/or time to do so. When my Professor told me that we needed to create a blog, I immediately thought of making mine about reality television. I watch so much reality TV that it is insane. I mainly stick to Bravo (Real Housewives fans, anyone?) but I watch Jersey Shore (who doesn't?), Big Brother, Keeping Up With The Kardashians (and whatever city they are taking over next), and try and catch all of the new shows that are on. I do go to the "other side" and watch Desperate Housewives when it is on, but that is so similar to reality TV that it doesn't even matter.

I'd like to dedicate my first blog post to the Jersey Shore. I'm hoping to blog a couple times a week, particularly the day after I watch a show. I finally got caught up on Jersey Shore last night. Can we be done with the Ronnie & Sam drama? Famous quote: "Our relationship is toxic." Ronnie, you said that in Miami, you said it every night in Jersey, and now when you get to Italy, you say it as if you never knew it before! Do you need me to translate it into Italian for you? Maybe then you will finally understand. GET AWAY FROM SAMMI!

Lots of emotions on the last two episodes. The fight was extremely anti-climatic. Ronnie barely even did anything to Mike before security came in and broke it up. Mike bashed his own head against the wall (which was extremely hysterical, by the way). Sammi and Jenni were crying. Of course Sammi had to go and talk to Ronnie, which only got him more mad (maybe she needs a smack too). Jenni was scared by the situation that was going on, and was frustrated as she was trying to break it up. Does anyone else wonder where Deena, Snooki, Pauly, and Vinny were during this whole fight? Maybe they were in the smush room gettin' it on.

Snooki always makes me laugh, especially on her phone call with Jionni. I can tell that she really likes him, but I'm not really sure how I feel about the whole Snooki cheating on Jionni with Mike situation. I don't really see Mike making something like that up. I am more inclined to believe that Snooki got angry just to cover up her story. Oh well, the world will never know (or will we?). The fight with Pauly and the guy in the club was hysterical. I'm not really sure what the guy was trying to say, because it didn't really make sense. But Pauly got right up in his face and started yelling at him - in ENGLISH! You're in Italy!!

Personally, I cannot wait for the episode when Snooki gets in the car accident and goes to the Italian jail. Leave it to Snooki to screw everything up!
