Was anyone surprised that KIm Kardashian's wedding lasted this long? I saw a divorce coming since day one.
TMZ was the first to report that Kim Kardashian was to file for divorce this morning, citing "irreconcilable differences." Not long after, this news was confirmed by Ryan Seacrest, Giuliana Rancic and E! News. E! News will publish a statement from Kim very soon. Can't wait *sarcastic voice*
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries were married for 72 days. Their wedding cost an approximate $10 million. That's over $130,000 for each day that they were married. They made $17.9 million dollars of of their wedding. If I were a guest at the wedding and bought one of those ridiculously expensive wedding gifts, I would be pissed right now. I'd probably demand to have the gift back. Let's be honest, they probably didn't even open it.
The thing that bothers me about Kim is that she has made millions over the past couple years of fame and has yet to donate ANY of her own money - from her OWN pocket - to any kind of charity. I know this because if she did, it would be on the cover of every magazine and newspaper known to man.
Kim plays the charity card by doing auctions for charity in which people buy something (for example, an invite to her birthday party for $5k) and an undisclosed portion is donated to a charity. Or she gives her endorsement for a charity (which I'm sure she gets something of value out of it). Or even worse, she releases a terrible song which barely sells any copies and donates some of the proceeds to charity. Anyone see a pattern here? Kim doesn't donate ANYTHING. She takes other people's money and puts her name on it. She takes the money that she makes and buys earrings worth $75,000.
Kim Kardashian is the epitome of selfishness, greed, and a fame whore. I wouldn't be surprised if this whole marriage was a scam. I believe it 100%.
Sorry if I'm ranting a bit here, but Kim gets me so mad. Don't even get me started on the rest of her family. I could go on for DAYS about Kris Jenner. Sorry Kim, I don't feel bad for you. I hope the media tears you to shreds and exposes you for the selfish bitch that you really are.
Anyone else boycotting Kourtney and Kim Take New York with me? Anyone?

Reunion Part Two...
The second part of the reunion really was no different from the first. It still made me sick and made me want to jump through the television screen and slap the facial expressions right off of Caroline Manzo. My comments from the Reunion Part 1 still hold the same. I just wanted to comment on a couple of things brought up in Part 2...
1. Did Melissa really bring a LIST of things that Teresa said about her to the reunion? I'm sure that if I really wanted to, I could make a list of things she's said about Teresa. The list was a bit much. So much for wanting to move on! You can see Melissa is really caught up on the past.
2. Teresa-isms of the night: un-ducated and distant. She is too funny!
3. Caroline really hit below the belt when she insulted Gia by saying that the song was disgusting and it was a disgrace. I thought it was sweet. Not only did Caroline hit below the belt with Teresa's kids, she also insulted her own kid! She said that she can't tell Lauren that she is pretty if she has to lose weight. That was harsh! Lauren claimed on Twitter that it was edited and what she actually said wasn't as harsh. In the words of Kyle Richards, editing will not put words in your mouth or put sentences together.
4. Caroline once again made herself look terrible with the way that she treated Teresa. Teresa even told her, "Practice what you preach." She is in no place to be judging Teresa and her family situation. When you live in a glass house, you shouldn't throw stones. In the words of a Facebook friend of mine, Caroline was throwing those BROWNSTONES. Haha!
5. Caroline v. Dina v. Teresa. I do not believe for one second that Dina would stop talking to Caroline based on something that Teresa told her. Dina posted a blog on her website explaining her side of the story. She didn't reveal anything about her feud with Caroline, but from what she wrote, it is evident that there was a fight between her and Caroline and possibly Jacqueline. Jacqueline claims that her and Dina spoke the other day and they were fine.
We have to keep in mind that watching an hour a week, keeping up with the lives of the Housewives on Twitter, and attempting to dig up dirt about them online and writing blogs with biased sources about the Housewives does not make us an expert on their lives. In fact, it doesn't even tell us ANYTHING about their lives. We might be able to figure out what kind of person they are, but there is so much behind the scenes.. We can't judge. Perfect example: On RHONY, I hated Kelly and Luann and loved Ramona. When I met them in person, Ramona was nasty, Luann was somewhat nice and surprisingly Kelly was the nicest. We can't tell who they are based on what we see on TV.
I guess that's it for the season.. Bring on the Real Bitches of Atlanta!! Ha!

Reunion Part One
My idea to live tweet/blog the first part of the reunion failed. There were too many thoughts going through my head. I instead decided I'm going to group my comments based on each character. I'll keep it short, I promise!
I honestly don't think that I can combine my comments for this episode into one blog. These women are all pretty disgusting if you ask me. Kathy is passive agressive. Melissa is fake. Caroline has this holier than thou attitude that she can't get over. Teresa is too unintelligent to even remember what she said. Jacqueline is giving mixed signals, as if she is going crazy a la Kelly Bensimon.
I'll give four comments on this reunion, and that's it!
1) I was disgusted with Caroline's attitude on this episode. What is this holier than thou attitude that she seems to have? I honestly think that she needs someone to control to fulfill this motherly figure that she has. In Season 1 and 2, she thought that she could control Teresa. When she found out she couldn't, she jumped ship because she saw that she could control Melissa. And she shows it in this episode. What are those faces she makes? And why does she think that she can answer on other people's behalf? Like Teresa said, "Who cares what Caroline thinks?" I never thought that Caroline would change like this.
2) I honestly think that we cannot blame Teresa's actions on her personality. I think she does care about her family and wants the best for her family. But I really do think that her intelligence gets in the way. She doesn't really make sense when she talks! I still like her because she is opinionated and truly doesn't allow anyone to alter her opinion or change her mind. Caroline and Jacqueline say that they have these same qualities, but we see that this isn't true. Teresa needs time to think about thinks before she forms a cohesive answer and I think that some people take this as her being a bad person.
3) I believe Teresa when she says that she is hurt by Kathy and Melissa's motives to get on the show. Sure, maybe Melissa wanted to promote her song or maybe Kathy wanted to get into the dessert business, but they could have done that on their own or Bravo could have found other housewives that would have done the same thing. The thing that brought Melissa and Kathy to the NJ Housewives was the promise that they could stir up the drama with Teresa. At the time, Melissa and Teresa supposedly were not talking, and I'm sure Bravo caught on (Danielle did, at least!) and wanted to cast them on the show to stir up the drama. I think they bit a little bit more than they can chew with this one. Too much drama on this season. It's become disgusting and pathetic.
4) Lastly, I want to talk about Jacqueline. She wasn't at the reunion, but she sure was present on Twitter. She really showed her true colors tonight. Is she going crazy like Kelly Bensimon? She has tweeted at least four times that she is above the drama and preaches positivity and doesn't want the negativity that the show brings. I think that she should practice what she preaches and STOP tweeting. If she wasn't emotionally stable enough to attend the reunion, then she shouldn't be emotionally stable enough to tweet about it. It doesn't make sense to me!
So many thoughts on this reunion and I just don't think that these comments are worth my time or space on my blog. I'll do the same thing next week, and then that's it for RHONJ for this season. Sorry if I'm disappointing anyone, lol. Leave comments if you want, follow me on Twitter (@tylmills) and add me on Facebook (www.facebook.com/tylermills93)

RHONJ Reunion - It's Almost Here!
I cannot contain my excitement for tonight's reunion. I think for my blog for the reunion I will post my raw thoughts as the show airs (kind of like live tweeting) then post it immediately after.
The previews of the reunion are amazing! The crew really gangs up on Teresa, but she doesn't back down at all. If she's thrown something, she throws it right back. You can tell that tensions were high tonight. You can view some of the reunion previews here.
Some tweets from the cast:
@JacLaurita: Saw the reunion show part 1! WOW!!! Wear your sunglasses because colors are very bright!!!
@Laurenmanzo: The reunion was CRAZY... in more ways than 1
@melissagorga: Reunion tonight... I'm nervous... It was tense... I'll be tweeting tonight...
@Teresa_giudice: Not gonna lie, I'm sick nervous about tomorrow's reunion show. I haven't seen it. I lived it and it was not pretty...
It looks like we're in for a good night! Four more hours!!!

Kim Zolciak Getting Married!
Real Housewife of Atlanta Kim Zolciak took to her Twitter yesterday to announce that she was engaged to her boyfriend and baby daddy, Atlanta Falcon Kroy Biermann. Life and Style also did an exclusive story on the engagement.
Kim and Kroy met at a charity event in Atlanta in June of 2010 and immediately began dating. The couple announced that Kim was pregnant that fall and gave birth to a baby boy, Kroy Jagger Biermann, in May of 2011. It is evident from Kim's Twitter page that the two are madly in love. Kim rants about how good Kroy is with the kids, especially her two older girls. Kim has two children, Brielle and Arianna, from a previous marriage.
This announcement comes amidst rumors of Kim getting her own spinoff show on Bravo separate from the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Within 24 hours, pictures of her wedding invitation leaked online (see below). The invitation informed guests that they would not be allowed to bring cell phones or cameras to the event, and that they would have to sign a release form because their wedding would be taped by Bravo. Security will also be very tight. Is Kim Zolciak channeling Kim Kardashian?
The two plan to marry within the next month! Their wedding date is set for November 11th (11/11/11). Looks like Kim won't need anything from Big Poppa anymore! Where's that ring at, Kim? Best of luck to the couple and we can't wait to see the wedding craziness!

RHONJ EVENT!
I attended a Real Housewives of New Jersey event this past Friday in New York! Teresa is coming out with a Fabellini drink, a premixed Bellini that is all natural. For those of you who don't know what a Bellini is, it's Prosecco or any Italian sparkling wine mixed with peach and raspberry flavor or, sometimes, puree.
The event was amazing. Free food. Free wine. The Fabellini was really good. It comes in two seperate flavors - peach and raspberry. I liked the raspberry better but the peach was good also! I'm so happy for Teresa that she has so much success coming for her.
I felt so special at the event. The Bravo cameras were there. Teresa sat at my table and was SO nice! She also filmed a scene literally five feet from me. I was dancing with Teresa while the Bravo cameras were running. Is it possible that I could appear on Season 4? OMG...
I also got to meet a couple of Bravolebrities! First off, Antonia Gorga and Filomena Giudice (Teresa and Joe's mothers). They were so cute! I spoke with them for a few minutes in Italian and they were really sweet. True Italian women! Next, Joe Giudice. He is so short! But he was really nice and you could tell he was playing on the "cheating" rumors - he was dancing with all of the girls there and kept yelling Teresa's name! haha! I also saw Joe's brother and sister-in-law. There's a rumor out there that they may appear on Season 5. Who knows.
Finally, I got to meet the official love of my life, Dina Manzo (see picture). I have been waiting forever to meet her. Unfortunately, she isn't featured on the show anymore so she doesn't really do any appearances. When I saw her, I flipped out. When I introduced myself and asked to take a picture, she recognized me from Twitter. It was a bit embarrassing, but she told me that she loved me, so I felt a bit better! haha! I also met Dina's assistants Luke McKibben and Danielle Ambrosio. I would give an arm and a leg to work for Dina Manzo's event planning company, Designer Affair. That would be amazing. Who knows? Maybe that will be in the near future :)
Lastly, I wanted to comment on the filming. The show is really staged. Dina and Teresa had a conversation and, from what I could tell, they repeated the same conversation three times for the cameras. There were bodyguards blocking them, so no one could get within 25 feet of them to even hear anything. I was kind of disappointed with Bravo. But, I still love my housewives!
Teresa and Dina were both SO nice. I wish you guys could have seen me - I was really freaking out. It was about an hour away from my house, but it was so worth the drive. So happy I went! I will be buying Fabellini by the case when it comes out in November!

Real Housewives of New Jersey Finale
Oh my God. I just got done watching the RHONJ Finale and I am sick to my stomach.
I was SO happy to see the family reunite and take the family picture. It almost brought tears to my eyes, so cute! I had the pleasure of meeting Teresa's mom and Joe Giudice's mom this past weekend (more to come in a separate blog) and they are so sweet. I asked Teresa's mom about the family and you can tell she is hurting that they are fighting like this. It's so sad to think that after seeing them spend what looks like 7 months trying to fix this family relationship on Season 3, it will all be torn apart again in Season 4. Such is the storyline of reality television.
Caroline, Caroline, Caroline. I don't know what to say about the end of this episode. It was so sad. I can say that in the episode, the way that Lauren was reading the cookbook, she made it out to be offensive. Personally, I own the book and have read it cover-to-cover. Teresa makes it clear that she was joking. I didn't find it offensive towards Caroline or her kids then, and I still don't find it offensive now. Teresa's right - they need to lighten up!
Melissa and Kathy also had their comments about what was written in the cookbook. Melissa took the high road and decided not to mention anything to Joe Gorga about it in an effort to stop drama. Kathy took the same road too. Rich had a somewhat funny joke when he pretended to throw the book in the garbage.
I liked how Melissa and Kathy kind of took the high road with regard to the comments in the book, but NO ONE made an effort to approach Teresa about it except for Jacqueline. It's evident from recent news that Jacqueline's attempt to salvage a friendship with Teresa is over. However, she made an attempt and I applaud her for that.
The reunion next week looks INSANE. Reunions are my favorite thing. EVER. Jacqueline definitely did not attend. We saw Teresa saying "She started something, she should have finished it." TRUE. We also saw Caroline yelling at Teresa as if she were Danielle from last season. Really, Caroline? You hate Teresa that much? What did she do to you besides this nonsense you call bashing in her cookbook?
I honestly think that Caroline is looking for a reason to hate Teresa because she likes Melissa so much. I just don't get it. No one has a sense of loyalty in New Jersey. Everyone is so quick to jump ship.
The reunion looks amazing, but the drama makes me sick to my stomach... can't it end? OMG...

Real Housewives Of Orange County News
With the seventh season of the Real Housewives of Orange County currently being filmed, rumors about the cast are pouring out. While it has been confirmed via Twitter that Vicky Gunvalson and Tamra Barney will be returning for another season, no other wives have been confirmed. The cast of Season 6 included Vicki, Tamra, Alexis Bellino, Gretchen Rossi, and Peggy Tanous, and had recurring appearances from Jeana Keough, Lynne Curtin, and Fernanda Rocha.
Today, Peggy Tanous released a statement via her Facebook page saying that she will NOT be returning for another season. Though she received an offer, she decided to decline to focus on spending time with her family and working on other endeavors. Another one season wonder? See the statement below:
Hello Everyone, Many of you have been asking about season 7 and if I am returning. After months of negotiation and soul searching, I have declined their offer to return to the show. I just felt in my heart that being around the negative energy of certain cast members, being forced to have "dramatic" confrontations and the time it would take me away from my family was just not a healthy path for me. I loved being a part of the Bravo family and do look forward to any new endeavors this may bring. I already have several opportunities to host upcoming TV shows that will empower woman, as well as my husband and I are about to launch our own wine. Who knows, perhaps if many of you want to continue to follow me and my family's lives, then a new show can be created! One of "real" family fun, natural life drama, holistic living, life lessons and experiences. thank you all so much for your love and support!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
I haven't blogged about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in a while, and since I love them so much I thought I would blog about this week's episode.
I am really liking this season. I can see Brandi and Dana starting a LOT of drama! Brandi seems like she is really offensive and says whatever comes to her mind. Everyone knows that in Beverly Hills, these ladies do not like being offended at all. Dana is really stuck up and just weird. Why does she brag so much about having $25,000 sunglasses? Like Camille said, those who have money tend not to brag about it (multiple times) like she did.
I like how Brandi pointed out that Taylor is on the "divorce diet." When Taylor said that she was working on her marriage for the sake of her child, you can tell that a divorce is coming. If Taylor doesn't have a personal reason to work on her marriage (intrinsic motivation.. Psychology 101, anyone?) then her efforts are going to be meaningless.
Kim is really trying to work on herself, but she seems so weird. Who spends what seems like an hour talking to her housekeeper about her kids when they were younger? Her housekeeper looked like she could care less. Also, why does she keep forgetting everyone's name in phone conversations? It just seems so weird to me. Maybe she is still an alcoholic or on drugs.
Lisa is being really judgmental towards Taylor. Like Kyle said, Lisa is not being supportive of Taylor in a time of need and she is not being a true friend. Ken needs to learn to keep his mouth shut too! He offends Taylor way too much. I also thought it was really rude of Lisa to let Jiggy drink out of the expensive champagne glasses. Let the leash loose, literally! haha! Lastly, I thought Lisa was perfect for the coverage of the royal wedding, though! She looked like she did a great job.
I love the feud that is brewing between Adrienne's chef and Lisa! He is so funny. I am really growing to like Camille this season, like I mentioned in previous blogs. She is much more level headed and she seems like she is much more pleasant to be around. I think Kyle is trying way too hard to be the Caroline Manzo of the Beverly Hills group. Lisa and Adrienne portray much more of a motherly figure than she does and she just looks stupid when she tries (i.e. with Kim, in her interviews when she talks about Brandi, etc.)
I thought I would finish this blog off with a tweet from Greg Bennett from Real Housewives of New Jersey. He is so funny!
@GreggyBennett: I want to sit on Adrienne's lap behind her giant oak desk and make executive decisions with her. #RHOBH @bravotv pls facilitate this.

I like how Brandi pointed out that Taylor is on the "divorce diet." When Taylor said that she was working on her marriage for the sake of her child, you can tell that a divorce is coming. If Taylor doesn't have a personal reason to work on her marriage (intrinsic motivation.. Psychology 101, anyone?) then her efforts are going to be meaningless.
Kim is really trying to work on herself, but she seems so weird. Who spends what seems like an hour talking to her housekeeper about her kids when they were younger? Her housekeeper looked like she could care less. Also, why does she keep forgetting everyone's name in phone conversations? It just seems so weird to me. Maybe she is still an alcoholic or on drugs.
Lisa is being really judgmental towards Taylor. Like Kyle said, Lisa is not being supportive of Taylor in a time of need and she is not being a true friend. Ken needs to learn to keep his mouth shut too! He offends Taylor way too much. I also thought it was really rude of Lisa to let Jiggy drink out of the expensive champagne glasses. Let the leash loose, literally! haha! Lastly, I thought Lisa was perfect for the coverage of the royal wedding, though! She looked like she did a great job.
I love the feud that is brewing between Adrienne's chef and Lisa! He is so funny. I am really growing to like Camille this season, like I mentioned in previous blogs. She is much more level headed and she seems like she is much more pleasant to be around. I think Kyle is trying way too hard to be the Caroline Manzo of the Beverly Hills group. Lisa and Adrienne portray much more of a motherly figure than she does and she just looks stupid when she tries (i.e. with Kim, in her interviews when she talks about Brandi, etc.)
I thought I would finish this blog off with a tweet from Greg Bennett from Real Housewives of New Jersey. He is so funny!
@GreggyBennett: I want to sit on Adrienne's lap behind her giant oak desk and make executive decisions with her. #RHOBH @bravotv pls facilitate this.
RHONJ New Episode
As if the world of RHONJ wasn't confusing enough, the new episode that aired last night gives us even more mixed messages. This episode was all about finally ENDING the drama between the Gorga/Giudice/Wakile families. Joe Giudice and Joe Gorga finally make up, and at the end of the episode Kathy and Teresa finally make up as well. Everything seems great until we see the preview for next week's episode (the finale) and we see more feuds ahead between Teresa and the Manzo/Laurita clan, and Teresa and her sister-in-law (yes, AGAIN).
In this episode, we also saw Melissa perform her song "On Display" for the first time. On the show, it sounded and looked as if the entire thing were lip synched. However, we have heard Melissa sing raw in the studio on the show before, and we know that she can sing. Maybe Bravo edited her voice over the actual audio in an effort to make the clip shorter (instead of airing the whole song). Still, Melissa had the guts to get up there in front of everyone and do her thing - and I applaud her for that.
Teresa finally won my heart back by apologizing to Kathy. She initiated the entire thing. When she made an apology to her brother and sister-in-law, it was sort of forced and it seemed fake. However, when she apologized to Kathy she seemed really genuine and it made me smile. Maybe Teresa isn't really the evil person she has been all season? Drama as of late would prove otherwise...
Speaking of, Jacqueline seems as if she is back to normal and is tweeting like a sane human being once again. She answered some fan questions last night mostly about where she bought her clothes, but she released the information that she WILL be on Season 4 of RHONJ. This sort of dispels rumors that she quit mid-season. Still, it is seeming more and more true that she did not attend the reunion for Season 3. Melissa Gorga and Kathy Wakile's makeup artist tweeted that he missed Jacqueline the other day at the reunion. Woops, maybe he didn't want that one to slip out? Still, it is evident that Teresa and Jacqueline are in a feud, though Teresa is rising above the drama and staying away from Twitter for the most part.
This episode was really great, but next week looks even better. The Real Housewives finales always stir up all of this drama, then leave us hanging. The RHONJ Season 3 finale seems like it will be very important for all of us to watch. On Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Caroline Manzo hinted that the finale will show the future of her relationship with Teresa. If so, the finale and reunion episodes promise to be great ones!

RHONJ Drama Update - Once Again
As always, theres more drama in New Jersey. Last night, Melissa posted a blog on her website. Don't waste your time reading it! I can sum it up in three sentences:
I was not a stripper and New Jersey State Law does not allow stripping in a place where alcohol is served. I was a bartender who wore a sexy outfit. I only worked there for a few weeks until I met Joe. I cannot confirm any more because we are currently filming season 4.
Just this morning, Jacqueline went on yet ANOTHER tweeting rampage and started tweeting pictures of her text message conversation with Teresa. WOW. Though she only included what Jacqueline had typed to Teresa, that is still VERY low, especially for someone who is preaching "positivity" and "rising above the drama." You can read a slideshow of the images here...

Jacqueline wanted to clear up the rumor out there that Jacqueline was the one that had released the pictures of Joe Giudice out with another girl to the press. Just to be clear, Teresa never said that Jacqueline was the one that had released the pictures, though it was referenced in Huffington Post's story about the NJ drama. She also tweeted an image of what seems like an email, saying that Teresa knew about the "stripping" rumor long before the Posche Fashion Show was taped. Teresa allegedly told Jacqueline that she wanted to "out her" then. Jacqueline even went on to say that Teresa has done things to her personally. See image below:
Jacqueline also tweeted this:
Teresa put out an article that I text her and threatened to release those pictures and I didn’t! I wanted to prove that. Teresa is scum! What until u hear the rest.There is much more but I’m letting it all unravel little by little all on it’s own.No more talk about it! Ok,so I’m losing it.This is what all this negativity I’m surrounded w/does 2me.I’m taking deepbreaths&gettingcontrolofmyself
JACQUELINE, YOU ARE LOSING IT! Why are you going on these tweeting sprees, then trying to preach positivity. Are you Danielle Staub now? This is just getting WEIRD.
There have also been stories out there from the managers of the bar that Melissa worked at (as a bartender) confirming that Melissa was never a stripper. Enough already, we know you weren't a stripper. Tell us what happened at the fashion show!
Bravo has released a statement about the drama. They said that they had put out a call to all the Housewives saying that they MUST attend the Posche Fashion show as it was going to be the finale for season 4. They also said this:
A Bravo spokesperson strictly denies that producers had any involvement with orchestrating the encounter: “Bravo was not involved in any set up. Ours cameras document the lives of these ladies."
I personally think it is so sad to see what is going down in NJ. I like to see that Caroline and Kathy are rising above the drama and staying OUT. Shows that they are the mature ones of the group. Teresa also isn't really getting involved in the Twitter feud. She announced the release of her THIRD cookbook yesterday. It's called "Fabulicious - Fast and Fit" and its due out in Spring 2012. I think Teresa is really trying to focus on making money outside of the Housewives a la Bethenny Frankel. However, the stories that are surfacing are pointing more and more towards her starting this drama, which makes me sad. Still, most of the stories are coming from Team Gorga/Laurita in this feud, so you never know. Melissa is mainly trying to deal with the stripper rumors and her husband is dealing with the bashing Teresa via Twitter. Like I said, I'm really shocked to see Jacqueline going on these tweeting sprees. Fame does wonders to people.
