I'm Still Alive, I Promise!!

Hi, everyone!

It's Lexi. I know I've been MIA lately, but I've been working really hard on several things. That's the life of a young blogger these days, right??

So, just wanted to touch base with you all and QUICKLY update you with some thoughts and what to expect next from RFR!

First, I'm Team Teresa, y'all! Melissa and Kathy got on my nerves during last week's reunion (part 1). Plus, Caroline is a miserable geriatric, and Jacqueline needs to spend more time worrying about her family instead of Teresa. Why is it that she knows everything about Teresa's life?? Bored much, J?! Plus, Lauren is still fat. LAP-BAND was never something I thought highly off anyway because my mother had it and is still overweight....4 years later. So, expect Lauren to stay fat, people!

Also, I will be returning to blog about various reality news and RHOA, and expect to see an RFR Twitter account soon! Christina and I live far apart, but we love TV and you guys too much to not find another way to stay busy keeping you informed and entertained!

Oh! RFR has been around for a year as of this past July! Thanks for the love, guys! We appreciate it, and we hope to be around for many more years!

xoxoxoxo,

Lexi : )

Strippergate

Ola, Blovers!! Hope all is well in your world. Things are rosey in my neck of the woods. As you can tell by the title, I came to give you guys the tea on the Real Housewives of New Jersey finale. Its been a long time coming, but it finally came. What is "it"? Teresa Guidice's evil likeness on the screen. I will talk more definitively about that in a minute...Let's get started shall we?

Over the past seasons of RHONJ, my preferences for characters has changed dramatically. I used to be a huge Teresa fan, only tolerating Caroline Manzo, hating Kathy Wakile, and kind of liking regular fence rider, Jacqueline Laurita. Since the progression of the show, I CANNOT stand Teresa. If you are Tre fan, I suggest you stop reading now, or swallow your pride as I warm up the fire for her roasting session. I rather like Kathy Wakile now due largely to her sister, Rosie. And, I think the Gorgas are hilarious.

Jacqueline had a little less drama this season because she sent her daughter, Ashlee, away. That girl is one big ball of crazy. I'm sure both Jacq and her hubby, Chris, were appreciative of that break. She planned a trip for the entire cast to enjoy one another in hilly San Diego. It was a successful trip until Caroline and Teresa had their big falling out. We recently found out that Jacq's son, Nick, has autism. She had been trying the entire 1st season attempting to get pregnant and did. Our hearts go out to her family as they transition to caring for a child with issues like his.

Caroline's family is known for their Brownstone and other business ventures. This season, we saw her sons and brother, Chris (Jacq's hubby), begin selling their BLK water and wine projects. Lauren has been whining all season about losing weight and being seen in the same spotlight as her brothers. Well, her daddy bought her the LapBand and has lost 35 pounds. Congratulations, girl. Will you just marry Vito now, get pregs, and gain that weight back? The whining is not attractive. Thanks.  Caroline has demonstrated her disdain for Teresa all season. So, it was no surprise that they were at each other's throats on the trip. Caroline turned 50 and has been spreading her wisdom all over the radio waves. Looks like its was somewhat successful....*sideeye*. She and past castmate/sister, Dina, are still well into it....which she blames squarely on Teresa. I don't know how much of that I believe. But, that's what she's saying.

Kathy's family is always up to funny antics. They are the light part of the show. This season, we saw her develop her culinary treats and sell them to a company. She is now a bonafide pastry chef now. Her hubby, Rich, has been the usual quick-witted perv we all have grown to love/loathe. The kids aren't up to much. Victoria looked for colleges outside of NJ just to end up going somewhere locally anyway. My guess is the dorm rooms were a big discourager. Rosie came out to her niece and nephew during the show. That was a heart warming moment....despite the fact that the WHOLE rest of the world knew this already. Shout out to Rosie for using Bravo to hunt for honeys!

Teresa has spent this whole season plugging her time on The Apprentice and her Fabulicious cookbooks. I should point out that these cookbooks are filled with recipes developed on the backs of sweaty, old Italian mamas and papas....none of which are Teresa Guidice. She admits that the recipes are her mothers, friends, and whoever else. So, kudos to all you do do birds buying this book knowing full well she ain't make up not a one of these recipes. You light up my life! Her girls have provided me with all kinds of entertainment this year...especially that Milania. I call her "Milaniac". That gal is 3 feet of honesty. She called her parents out every chance she got including blowing the whistle on Tre's hubby sleeping in his own room. She also said that her daddy never wants to see his kids. iDied!!!! Did you catch Joe in the vineyard talking to his "employee" and calling his wife a "F***ing C***"?? Oh yeah, me neither. *looks other way like Teresa*


Melissa has been soaring to the top ever since her debut on the show. She has taken advantage of the spotlight by jump starting her music career. She's released "On Display" and "I Just Wanna Party" and they've done fairly well on iTunes. I, personally, do not care for Melissa's music, but I do like laughing at her and her frisky hubby, Joey Gorga. There kids are adorable, and according to Meliss, her house is paid for. All things that probably frustrates her sis-in-law, Tre. They haven't gotten along since Melissa and Joe were married. You can read past blogs for more detail on just how deep this bad blood goes. But, this finale show is probably the biggest indicator.

Teresa hooked up with NJ mess maker, Kim D. You've seen her. She looks like the Pelican Brief by the face and is now wearing blonde weave....very becoming. The twosome visited a salon to get prepped for Kim D's annual fashion show. You remember....the one that has dreadful fashions, no name models, and terrible decor. These women fight at this fashion show every year. I don't even know why they keep going to this Dollar Tree production. Anywho, Kim D's friend, Bald Guy, showed up at the salon to tell Teresa that her sister in law is a former stripper. Teresa played dumb and asked him to please stop. Yet, BG showed up at the fashion show and greeted Melissa right out the gate. Melissa claimed that she knew him, but she didn't know him. The whole situation blew up with BG going around saying he set out to embarrass Melissa. Tre confronted Melissa on her past. This ignited a HUGE fight among family.

 Joey G. was called. Text messages were being sent the entire time to Jacqueline, who informed Caroline, who talked bad about Teresa for the rest of the night. You see the pattern here?? My only comment for this whole thing is to wonder, "what does it matter anyway?". I really don't care if Melissa dropped it or not. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Tre did too. This is just disgusting and it shows just how immature Teresa is. She is guilty in my court of law. Point blank.

Next week begins the saga of reunion shows that I'm sure will entertain. I'm tuning in. How about you??
'Til next time....

Out With The Old, In With The Shrewd

Hey there, Blovies!!! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods....It's groove theory, my way! As you know, many of our shows have concluded or are in the process of doing so. I'll give you some of my final thoughts on those including Love & Hip Hop ATL, Real Housewives of New Jersey, and Teen Mom....Meanwhile, vH1 is gearing up for a new season of Basketball Wives LA. Oh, the places we'll go!!! Shall we...

The Look on Buckeey's Face when Scrappy Proposed....to Ericka.

I'll start with LHHATL since it ended a few weeks ago. My final thoughts on that reunion are simple. RACHET!!! We all know Mimi and Stevie J will never be over....as will Joseline (Joseph) Hernandez and Stevie J. So, I will not even waste my breath talking about how stupid Mimi is or how incomprehensible JoJo is. I've roasted them all year. The evidence speaks for itself. Karlie Redd is a groupie and I won't be surprised next season when she is using what she got to get what she wants. This girl's thirst is so boundless I wouldn't be surprised if she began twerking for YouTube sensations. Anything to "Get That Hit"....at 47 years old, with a 30 year old daughter, and a deflated butt cheek. Chile, please!?! I have been torn about K. Michelle's domestic violence situation. I will say I laughed when Rasheeda's "No Story" arse tried to nut up on her. I get that people don't necessarily believe K., but I will choose to believe her because it takes a pretty low person to make up the allegations she's claimed about her ex-boo, Memphitz. If she made it up, God has a special place in hell for that ample keister. Other than that, Rasheeda has absolutely no business on this show. She and her hubby are boring. Her career is in the same graveyard as Olivia (LHHNYC) and Karlie. RIP "Boss Bytch" records. R-I-Frickin'-P. I have already mentioned my disdain for that whole scene with Lil' Scrappy and his band of BICTHES. Looks to me like everywhere but in the industry, Scrap is winning. He has no job or money to speak of, yet, he can cheat on each woman with each other, propose and get a "YES". Are you kidding me?? We should all sign up for classes. All in all, I was completely and utterly entertained by the trainwreck that is LHHATL. The original show pales in comparison. But, that didn't stop Mona Scott-Young from giving Chrissy Lampkin and Jim Jones their own spin-off. *happy dance into black hole*

The Real Housewives of New Jersey saga continues with all the Mob queens doing the usual....choosing a villain for everyone to hate and run off. Teresa Guidice seems to be the one this season who is a "pig" as Caroline Manzo describes her. I can't say that I disagree. Teresa is very calculated. She and her husband will do anything for a dollar including sell their own marriage woes to the tabloids. She has been involved in bankruptcy, money laundering, you name it!!! The way they see it, they're just paying bills, but to everyone else they have no regard for anyone. Melissa Gorga (Tre's sister in law) and Kathy Wakile (Tre's cousin) have made a truce and agreed to be "nicey nicey" with their family members. It's worked out so far because nobody calls Teresa out on her crap anymore. The only one who truly will step up to the plate (besides Caroline Manzo) is her husband. Joe blatantly called Teresa "my bitch wife" and an "effing c**t" on TV. I suspect he was talking to a fling, but Teresa played it off as him just being cranky. Girl, BYE!!! Next week is the long awaited season finale of this neverending show. We get to see the true scum Teresa really is. Can't wait!!

Teen Mom has concluded for good and the reunion show has taken place. I just want to briefly say that Dr. Drew is messy and that these girls's lives are not changed. They should be, but mostly they aren't. Amber is in JAIL for God's sake. The only one that I am truly counting on to make is Catelynn and that's because she & Brother Husband gave their kid up. Smartest decision EVER. The end.

I'm going to be picking up Basketball Wives LA for its new season. Looks like Jackie Christie is already going for the gold when it comes to CRAZY this season. We have some familiar faces to work with including Gloria, Laura, Draya, and Malaysia. But, we also have at least one new face....Brooke Bailey will be joining us. She is dating some baller (who I don't know and don't care about) and that's what gave Shaunie O'Neal the room to add her to the roster. Does anybody else think about the rodent king on Madagascar when you see her? "I like to move it, move it!!" Ok, only me then. Carry on. Jackie has tried to apologize and snake her way back into the loving arms of her "girls". But, she is up to her old antics by referring to herself as the "queen" and saying these girls could learn everything from her. Meanwhile, her own flesh and blood daughter REFUSES to talk to her. She moved across country to escape this lady's grips. I'm putting on my seatbelt. I know this will be a bumpy ride.

Got other shows you're sure I should be watching....refer me!! Lexi and I are open to suggestions...Thanks a bunch for reading and giving us feedback from time to time. 'Til next time...

Splish, Splash, Mish Mash!!

Hey Blovies!! The last few weeks are like a blur, so I'm trying something a lil' different. Let's briefly discuss all the shows so far...

Basketball Wives is FINALLY over. I regret to inform you that they have been renewed for yet another season. What's worse? They've fired Jen, Royce, & Kesha from this ratchet show. The reunion show spent a lot of time trying to save Evelyn's and Tami's reputation. Tami insists that she's not a bully. Honey Boo Boo Chile, that is all we've seen of you since you got on this show. Face it. You've embarrassed yourself, your kids, and others. Acceptance is the first step. Evelyn spouted on about setting an example for her stepdaughters. I don't understand. No, really. Don't you have to be married to have stepchildren? Chad ain't married and ain't gonna marry this midriffed skank. Done and done. Oh, and I wept when Jen and Evelyn were reunited after that Maury-esque polygraph test they were both subjected to. And by wept, I mean regurgitated.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey are up to their old tricks. Badly behaved children, comparing riches, and keeping up with the Guidices. I will admit that last year I thought Melissa and Joe Gorga were just thirsty check chasing after sister/brother in law made it big on TV. Now I know, Teresa is a crazy, spastic, brainless skeezer. It's lucky for her that she flipped that table and keeps going broke. I think America cares about her evil cupcake coiffed spawn. People don't like to see kids struggle. Milk it girl! My co-blogger, Lexi, is likely cringing at this. LOL! I can't though. I can't listen to Tre lie anymore about her personal life and situation. If you don't want us in your biz, don't record your life (scripted or not) for reality tv. I also cannot with Lauren and this diet foolishness she's on. Just let your dad get you the lap band so we don't have to discuss your weight anymore. Thanks in advance.


On Teen Mom, the girls are back at it! Teenage parenting at its finest. We started this season off right. All the babies are 2 years old now. It seems like they should be older because I feel like I've been watching Amber's train wreck of a life for much longer. She and Gary are still wasting everybody's hard earned tax dollars with their crap. As reported in earlier blogs, Amber is on her way to the big house (doesn't she look fetching in Creamsicle?). Her best efforts to avoid serving time were to no avail. She got carted off to rehab in Cali and even attempted to kill herself. I'll believe that last line as soon as I see the hospital documentation. Attention is hard to come by these days I assure you. And who's caught in the crossfire?! Leah, that's who. Meanwhile, Carly is thriving with her adoptive parents. Thank you to the good Lord. Bentley seems to be fairing well with Maci and Kyle. I can't criticize Maci in the mom department. However, I know Ryan is a douche, but its not fair that he can't have a girlfriend if Maci can have a boyfriend. She needs to layoff. Farrah is STILL crying. I know she lost her baby daddy, but I maintain that the last time we heard his voice he was calling Farrah all kinds of bitches and telling her to lose his number. PS anybody note how bad Sophia is now?? She is about like Milania on RHONJ or "Millaniac" as I call her.  Somebody save this child.

Feel free to chime in if you have anything you'd like to share or any shows you'd like to suggest I get into...your feedback is important to me. Hit me up @ christinarealityforreal@gmail.com or comment below. You can even comment anonymously if you don't want nobody checking up on ya. 'Til next time....

Jersey Jabs

Hey Blovies!! How goes it?! Welp, last week Lexi kicked it off with the ladies of Dirty Jersey! That's right, the Real Housewives of New Jersey are back. They are just the right amount of rich mixed with a little rachet! Without further ado...

Jacqueline has been having problems with Ashlee since the beginning of time. However, up until recently, Chris Laurita (Jacqie's hubby) has been unmoved by Ashlee's antics. He's bought her car after car and dealt with her bull-ish. But, this season, even HE's sick of her. Finally!! They decided last week to cart her off to boot camp with her aunt and uncle in Las Vegas.  I, personally, think Vegas is the exact wrong place to send a wild-child, Kesha-like creature like Ashlee. Thankfully, she isn't my kid. This week Albie attempted dropping Kesha's twin off at the airport, but not without hearing 1001 excuses of anxiety and depression to keep her from making the journey. The complaints fell on deaf ears.....Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Jacqie threw a family/friend gathering. No shock Ashlee missed her flight and showed up at the house expecting to be welcomed. FAIL. Chris carted dat ass back the airport and made certain she hopped her butt on that plane.

At the party, the gang was all there including Melissa & Joe Gorga, Rich and Kathy Wakile, Caroline Manzo and gang (minus Albert), and Teresa and Joe Guidice. The party seemed to be going well until Teresa brought up that damned cookbook! I have never seen a cookbook cause so much raucous. Apparently, nobody told Teresa that writing a cookbook doth not equal writing a real book. There was a big blow up about the book at last year's reunion show. Teresa slammed just about everybody mentioned earlier and tried to call it a joke. Safe to say no one laughed. That fiasco ended and the guys went downstairs for a game. Juicy Joe Guidice bragged about how awesome he is for the -enth time until he attempted to compare height with Rich Wakile. You know Rich. The greasy guy Kathy's married to. Joe took the argument too far when he reached for Rich's balls (literally) and Rich put a nice shiner right on Joe's eye. That's the moment Rich gained a lil' respect from me. He is still greasy but a tiny bit less skeazy.

In other news, Housewives gone Popstars is still in full effect over at Bravo!. Melissa is not the first and won't be the last. She has recruited some top name producers to help her with her long-awaited sure to be platinum album. I can't! Her latest single is called "How Many Times" which is aptly named because I found myself thinking, "how many times are they gonna make us listen to this crap?". I know you guys watch and have opinions too. I'd love to hear what you think of her song. We got to see where Joey G. (Gorga) works and all the buildings he owns (each one named for his children). Blah blah blah.

Anybody surprised Teresa & Joe's pizza shop is closed? Who's the top business closer, Peter (RHOA) or Joe (RHONJ)?? You be the judge.

Next week, Teresa will face off with everybody for what I'm sure is more foolishness with the raciest cookbook ever written.

'Til next time....

We're Going Back to DOOOITY JOOOOOOIIISSSEEEYYY!!

Welcome back to Jersey, everyone!!  The land of denial, garbage, suspected mafia activity, and the ugliest red hair dye ever!  <---Caroline, stand up!!!  LOL

Back in Jersey, it seems that Teresa's cookbook is still the topic of discussion.  I almost said "This conversation is lasting longer than Christmas did last season!" But I realize they were filming virtually non-stop last year.

When this episode began, I also realized that I don't like Caroline AND Lauren.  Lauren is turning into a carbon copy of her mom.  Why the hell is Lauren always preaching to Jacqueline about how to raise someone who is only 2-3 years younger than her?  Bitch, shut up!!  You can't possibly think you're the go-to person when it comes to raising children just because you now have a boyfriend who is your equal in doughiness. Ugh!  I wish Lauren would be a little more like Ashley in terms of having a unique personality from her mother.  We don't want or need two Caroline Manzos on TV.  NEXT!  Teresa definitely tried to mend things with Caroline, but something is really weird to me about that friendship.  I believe it has always been different since season 1 on Caroline's end.  In the beginning, Caroline loved Teresa.  She was her source of entertainment.  She thought Teresa and Joe were so cute and funny.  However, that disappeared somewhere around season two, and Teresa was still assuming it was there.  I don't know.  I think that friendship should just bite the dust.  It never was meant to be.  Move on and pass the pasta!

Personally, I'm Team Teresa all the way!!  I definitely believe that Melissa is with her brother for money.  I know that Kathy is jealous of Teresa.  Hell, even Kathy's husband talks about Teresa all the time like he's obsessed with her. Teresa may not have money at the moment, but she does have her fame.  And we all know that at the end of the day, most people just want to be relevant.  THAT'S why Melissa is on this show, right?  I mean, if she really was so much better than Teresa, she could go do anything and outshine her.  Yet, she chose to do so right next to her on this show.  That's why those idiots will never cash in on this show: they're too occupied with trying to play Teresa's game next to her.  Teresa is a beast!  She's gonna get you out of her yard at any cost. From what the previews have shown, the ladies will learn that I'm right about them and Teresa, as well. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

What's up with Joe Gorga not knowing his wife would leave him if she met a richer guy?  She would peace out so fast that you would think someone set fire to a Louis Vuitton store.  That is the woman who hugged the Rolex he gave her for Christmas more than she hugged him!  She was so busy playing dress-up and "model-model" that the kids barely got camera time!  Melissa is so annoying that it hurts.  I hope she pisses glitter and it hurts her like passing kidney stones.

Also, Joe Giudice is clearly cheating on Teresa and not caring if she or the kids know.  I have never seen a man be so calm on TV when his wife tells him that his oldest daughter thinks he's unfaithful to her mother!!  I hope he goes to jail.  Teresa, don't flip tables there!  We don't want you getting tazed!  LMAO!

The shore scenes and houses were all blah and nothing important, EXCEPT the scene when Teresa's aunt told them all to shut up and act like family.  She took the words out of my mouth!  That's what they should do: stop cooking and talking shit all the time!  GO ACT LIKE A FAMILY THEN MAYBE WE'LL BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAY AND DO.  Just a thought. NEXT!

Finally, I thought it was interesting that Ashley now has blonde hair.  Hmm.....that's not a cry for help, Chris.  That's a nervous breakdown!  WTF?!?!?!?!  Anyway, this episode was kinda boring, and I expected more.  But mark my words, at the end of the day, *queue Scottish battle music* Teresa will rise again and seize your hearts and loyalty!  And she will be SCANDALOUS as she does it....mwahahahahahahaha!

Can't wait for this ride you guys!

P.S. I was happy to see Rosie.  She's always the comic relief of the show!  I hope they are paying her.  I don't want Rosie to be living with her mom forever!  LOL

Real Drama for the Real Housewives, Again!!!

Hey Bleeples, welp, guess who's at it again?! You guessed it. Teresa and Joe Guidice just can't stay out of the spotlight...even if it is from the coppers!!! According to MSN's WonderWall, Joe has been indicted on fraud charges. See below...

 

 

 

"Joe Giudice, the husband of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice, was indicted by a New Jersey grand jury on Tuesday on charges of fraudulently obtaining a driver's license, authorities told NorthJersey.com."

 

 

Apparently, Joe impersonated his own brother, Pietro. No surprise that Tre's little boo is in trouble again. I mean, how else does he pay for his very expensive wife and those damn flowers she puts on their little cupcakes, Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana. I know we're sure to see this on next season's already action packed RHONJ. Can't wait!! More updates as it happens.....Wanna read more about the Guidices' legal troubles click the link below.

 

 

'Til next time....

"Celebrity Apprentice" Might Be Getting GANGSTA!

This new season of "Celebrity Apprentice" is going to be nothing short of entertaining! The show has added two no-nonsense, Italian spitfires: Teresa Giudice and Victoria Gotti! OH, WAIT! It gets better! The two are rumored to have gotten into some sort of altercation while filming. On Wendy Williams' show last week, Victoria Gotti was very cryptic and refused to say if the cast member she had issues with was Teresa Giudice, but she didn't deny it either. In fact, she said that the person she had problems with was someone she thought she would have gotten along with. Wonder who that could be! *eye roll* She didn't stop there. Gotti went on to say that the altercation/argument/conflict that she had with a certain fellow cast member would put the Star Jones-NeNe Leakes argument to shame.

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS!! If it is Teresa that Gotti is beefing with on the show, I wonder what Teresa told Juicy Joe..."Honey, I'm so nice! I just said hello and she flipped!" *Teresa voice* Hahahaha!

Caroline, I Know You're Still Scratching!

Well....our time with the ladies of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" has come to an end. : (

But if this second part of the reunion taught me anything it's that Bravo better be prepared to pay Teresa more money because she is BRINGING THEM VIEWERS LIKE MAD!!! Actually, Teresa has been the star all along. I still believe her table-flip is the main reason all of them are still relevant! Teresa just BROUGHT IT! She was calling everyone out, making herself look dumbER, and making us laugh in the process. AMAZING!!

First, Caroline needs to stop thinking Teresa is the reason for her losing a relationship with Dina. Dina denied it on her own blog (which can be found on her website), and if someone can break into Caroline's "made of steel" family then they need to check their locks! Seems to me that if someone can break a relationship you have with a sibling, your family isn't "thick as thieves" like she claimed during season one. And what's up with Caroline talking about Teresa's behavior?! Last I checked, Emily Post wouldn't find it too classy to throw someone out of another person's house regardless of whether it was warranted! LMAO! Caroline is a huge joke. And bish, that "apartment" upstairs sounds like somewhere Albert would hold the meetings of the five families. ROTFLMAO!!! Who is so tired they can't drive 8 miles home to their WIFE and CHILDREN?!

AND SCREW ASHLEY AND JACQUELINE! I liked Jacqueline before, but she can kick rocks now! Why are they still talking about her on the reunion when she refused to come?? And why is Jacqueline all over Twitter commenting on the reunion show?? If you didn't wanna be there, don't discuss it at all!!

And Melissa needs to stop acting like her face is a pool of calm! "Teresa, you're turning evil. Look at me. I'm your family." BITCH! You're family, but only when you wanna be! Melissa didn't give a damn about being family when she signed up to do this show. All she saw was another way to compete with Teresa and showcase her SHITEOUS singing (if that's what you wanna call it) abilities. Frankly, looking at Melissa makes me sick, so I know it was hard for Teresa. And by the way, Melissa's forehead is hella big! HOLY CRAP! LMFAO!!! I was like "Why would she let that thing get shiny?" ROTFLMAO!

But Teresa needed to stop lying and yelling for attention when they were talking about Victoria. Whether or not you were at the hospital is irrelevant, Tre. LOL! That really looked like one of those uncomfy beauty pageant moments when the girl says she wants world peace or to end world hunger. I just wanted her to stop trying to make that her moment. The whole show was already hers. LOL!

Now, as for the men, I will admit that I find something suspicious about the fact that Joe Gorga is saying Joe Giudice has been ABUSING him for 9 nine years. WHAT?! How is a grown man letting another grown man abuse him?? LMAO! That is the wimpiest statement of the century! And Melissa is proud to have a husband who is gladly pronouncing that he's getting abused by another man! LMAO! GTFOH! They better fight and buy each other a beer! Yes, I condone caveman behavior over that abuse/victim shit Gorga is pulling! : D

Oh, and didn't you just love how Teresa called everyone "bad" every 5 minutes?? LMFAO! I mean, they were just sitting taking all of these insults. Also, I believe Melissa only gets guts when she's near Caroline. I dare anyone to tell me that if she were next to Kathy she wouldn't have been thinking about how Teresa charged at Danielle last season! LMAO! Melissa, it's okay to be scurrrred! HAHAHAHA!

THE PRICELESS MOMENT OF THE NIGHT THOUGH: TERESA SAYING JOE WASN'T CALLING MELISSA A RACCOON FACE...HE WAS REALLY TALKING ABOUT KATHY!!!! ROTFLMAO!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!! REALLLY?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!? I saw her standing there looking like a damn raccoon, so I know Joe did too! He said what I was thinking as I was watching my TV! Kathy was nowhere in sight! ROTFLMAO!!!! Oh, Tre, we love you and your lies! : D

And when did Melissa get so mature?? SHE'S NOT! This is the same woman who instigated the christening fight! If she had not said "Why are you saying it now?" Her abuse victim of a husband would not have started banging on tables to start that brawl! And I'm just shocked Melissa pays someone to style her, but she still looks like Gianni Versace's vomit! UGH!

Plus, Joe being engaged two times before Melissa is suspicious. His family can't run off that many women. Those women were just tired of Joe playing with their dresses and bras! ROTFLMAO!!

The Gia discussion: I feel bad about that because truthfully, Teresa should have said "No, Gia" when she heard the song was dedicated to her and her brother. What else could it have been about?! But I feel that if they don't want Teresa talking about their kids, they shouldn't mention hers. That Gia song should have been something that was glazed over. You know, kinda like Albert's apartment. LMAO!

Bottom line: I believe these women are jealous of Teresa. I saw on Wendy Williams that Teresa is supposed to be coming out with a makeup line, an alcoholic beverage (like Bethenny's SkinnyGirl Margarita) called a Fabulini, and she's going to be on "Celebrity Apprentice". Now, I ask you, would we wanna see any of the other women do those things? And could they?? I don't want to see what Caroline's makeup line would look like because she can't even do her hair. I don't want Kathy's desserts because she doesn't know how to keep her foods at the correct temperature. That goddess party food was cold as ice by the time the women got there! I would have taken my ass home! Get it together, Kathy! LMAO!!

Anyway, I'm out! I've enjoyed blogging about RHONJ with you guys! I'll still be here for Real Housewives of HOTlanta!! Those are my girls!!

See you in the South, peaches!!

"JOEEE....WHY AM I LOSING FRIENDS???!!?!" *Teresa voice*

JACQUELINE LAURITA HAS HAD IT!!

As of last night, a Twitter revelation shocked many "Real Housewives of New Jersey" fans. Jacqueline Laurita, my favorite, revealed that she would not be at the reunion. She also insinuated that she might be leaving the show altogether! : (

From the rumors, it seems that Teresa caused quite a stir at the reunion (or prior to it) that rubbed Jacqueline the wrong way. However, neither of them mentioned the other in their tweets. Instead, they seem to have been replying to each other passive aggressively without the @reply feature. Jacqueline stated that she can't believe how someone could live a different life off-camera and that the fakeness of a cast member would be revealed. Later today, Teresa "replied" by saying she would never call her sister-in-law Melissa a stripper. Then, of course, Melissa replied by denying that she's ever touched the pole! LOL! OH! It gets better! It seems that in one of Teresa's tweets, she was hinting that Jacqueline had been a stripper. I believe she was referring to Jacqueline because the other housewife who is so holier-than-though Carmela Soprano style (a.k.a. Caroline Manzo) has not commented, so it couldn't have been her that Teresa was referring to! Jacqueline was the only person tweeting in-depthly about why she was moving on from the drama of it all. Teresa, learn to be more sneaky! We see right through you! Teresa probably called Melissa a former stripper, and then probably went after Jacqueline (with the same stripper accusation) for being a voice of reason.

PLUS, the real reason I feel there is beef between Teresa and Jacqueline is because Ashley tweeted Teresa saying, "You make me sick. WOW." As we all know, Ashley usually reveals the drama in all situations and has her mother's back no matter what. She went on to tweet (and later delete) that Teresa shouldn't talk about strippers because she may have to be one when her husband goes to jail! ROTFLMAO!

Oh, Ashley, or Ashlee as she is known now, thanks for always revealing things to us even when your mother is trying to be classy. We appreciate you being the antithesis of class. LMFAO!!

Can't wait for Sunday!!

Revenge of the Cupcakes!!!

Hi, Bleeps! This week's episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey brought us the usual Guidice shenanigans, Manzo wisecracks, and Gorga foolery. The kids stole the show this week, so we'll talk about that later. Let's get to it.....

The show began with all the families preparing to run a charity 5K event. Of course the obnoxiously greasy Wakiles show up ready to kick some ass, Teresa and Joe were late, and the Manzos find a way to make fun of the event and cheat all at the same time. Other than a few side comments on how lame Tre and Joe are, I could've done without seeing it at all.

We got to sit in on an awkward family feud conversation among Jacqueline, Caroline, and Teresa about last week's foolishness between Joe Guidice and Joey G. (Teresa's bro). Caroline made a chilling comment: "Real men don't fight over texts". I couldn't agree with her more!! I don't know any men who take the time to call each other names and trash talk via text. This whole fight just goes to the evidence that both Joes go out of their way for attention. Neither is as manly as they'd like us to believe. Anyhow, that fight naturally leads to one between Teresa and Melissa (you know, On Display, On Display, On Display). This whole family is filled with childish and untalented people. Tre and Meliss were trying to figure out if the fight would hinder Uncle Joey G from coming to Milania's 5th birthday party. We'll come back to that...

Meanwhile, at the Manzo mansion, Lauren is still down on herself for being fat. I kind of feel like we've had this discussion. Frankly, I can't feel sorry for someone complaining about being fat and not liking how she looks as she stuffs a frickin' meatball & marinara down the shaft. In this world, we have many options. One being--gastric bypass. Another being--exercise. Another? Plastic surgery. Your parents are ballers. Pay the money and shut up awready!! PS your fat boyfriend thinks your hot, ergo, live long and prosper.

Back to Milania's birthday party....she, along with her 3 sisters, and Antonia Gorga are members of the elite group called the Cupcake Brigade. The Cupcakes can be spotted throwing fits, acting spoiled, and rocking fantastically fluffy frocks. I usually don't comment too much on the kids cuz their kids, but this week they brought it upon themselves. In true Guidica fashion, Tre went all out for her favorite baby. We're talking pizza, 99 cent decor, and a homemade birthday cake. Budget free, baby! As Tre and Milania prepared for the fabulous birthday bash, Milania didn't care for the dress her toad mother chose for her. My guess is it wasn't fluffy enough. She cried and moaned until she could wear the perfect dress--pink with many, many layers--matches the pizza sauce swagg! The party went on with all Milania's obnoxious, spoiled lil' bastard friends. They demanded pizza and ran around like monsters. At cake time, things got serious. Gia, Milania's fab older sister, wanted to share something special with the group in honor of her baby sis. **Skkkkkuuuurrrrt* Does everyone in this family have some sort of talent complex?? I mean first with Gia's modeling, Teresa's cookbooks, and Melissa's singing...SPARE ME. Even though Gia's a kid and I'll likely go to hell over this....the not 1 but 2 songs she shared with us brought me to tears....the kind you cry when you're in captivity or facing uncertain pain. The lyrics included telling her parents and uncle how stupid and immature they are for this family feud. While the lyrics were, um, poignant, I think the delivery could use some work. I'll stop there. Anyhow, the episode ended with some temporary mature behavior as a result, but next week we'll be right back. Til then.....

Excuse Me, I'm Tawkin' To You!

Hi Bleepers, it's time once again to discuss the tragedy that is The Real Housewives of New Jersey! Don't get me wrong, I heart the show, but I hate the Ashleys, Kathys, and Melissas of the world....Let's dive in, shall we?!

Last week's episode left off with Ashley and Jacqueline arguing about the usual--Ashley's sorryassness. I've never seen someone so lazy act so professional at it. She really does make a career out of doing nothing and whining about it. Apparently, Ashley got the bright idea to move to LA for school, get her own house, and live it up. There are only 3 problems with this plan. Numero Uno? Don't you have to apply to school to move away and go to school?? Numero Dos? She ain't got no monies...yes, monies. Thus, purchasing a home is a no. Numero Tres? To live you must do something else besides breathe. I predict a failure in her midst, but what the hell do I know, right?! Then, she takes it a step further and lightweight calls her mama a dummy for getting married and having a baby young. Um, Ashley, you were the baby, so are you saying you'd rather not exist?? Whatever. Jacqueline swears she's tired of Ashley's disrespect and bullies her hubby into kicking Ashley out of the house. Score 1 for Jackie!! Finally, she does what is needed. I just wish she had've thrown a punch in there somewhere and it would've been perfect. Alas...Last but not least, Ashley went a'cryin to Lauren (Carolyn's no nonsense daughter) about her mom. But, if you remember correctly, Lauren has a makeup store opening soon and asked Ashley to design the t-shirt logo/design. Think she did it? You'd be right...she didn't. Lauren politely told Ashley if she can't get this design done in the week she has left, that her services would no longer be needed. She also told her that if she weren't her cousin, she'd have been fired weeks ago. Ugh...

Kathy and the Wakile clan are up to their usual...cooking food and making people eat it. She decided to throw a Middle Eastern dinner party to try out some of her catering skills on friends and family. All the ladies were invited including Teresa. But before the party started, Melissa came in running her mouth. From now on her name will be "RunTelDat" because that's exactly what she is always doing where Teresa is concerned. I can see clearly why Teresa doesn't care for her. No trust. Anyway, Melissa made sure to let Kathy know that Teresa called her hubby, Rich, a weirdo and said he might be obsessed with her. Kathy didn't take it as hard as I expected....likely because she agrees...Luckily, Melissa running her mouth didn't stop the party. Caroline, Jackie, Tre, Meliss, and Kathy ate and laughed...until Kathy pulled out the "goddess" bracelets she had for everyone. Of course, rather than just accept the gift for what it is Teresa chose to take offense the the goddess-like quality Kathy gave her. The quality was that no matter how tough times get Teresa can always put on a smile. Kathy was likely referring to Tre's money problems...more on that later. This sent Tre over the edge and got her, Meliss, and Kathy in a bit of an argument. Kathy prepared for that though...enter the belly dancers. Kathy is a character. This is the most I've ever really cared about her other than her entertaining sister, Rosie. I need more Rosie....

Now, back to Tre's money issues...we found out some intimate details on the Guidice money woes. Apparently Joe's business partner was suing both Joe and Teresa respectively. He thought he was owed by them both! I love that. A deal had taken place in which this biz partner was not present but Joe decided he would be ok with. The deal involved about $260,ooo worth suing over. Joe admitted in open court that he signed the partner's name even though he was not present. During the show commentary, Joe and Teresa were complaining about how you can't be truthful nowadays because you'll get into trouble. Uh, when you're honest about doing something illegal you will...DUH! I mean really, did they learn nothing from Casey Anthony or Bill Clinton? Never tell the truth LOL! The suit against Tre was dropped because legally she really didn't have anything to do with Joe's stupidity. But, Joe was found culpable for the money. As for their personal property? It was settled in a private sale....the buyer? Teresa Guidice. She paid the money for the suit and bought all their stuff back. Bravo must pay very, very well. Sign me up...

Next week, we can expect more family foolery and sorry Ashley sightings... Til then....

Same Ol' Sh**, Just a Different Year!

Hey Bleeps! Jesus' birthday is finally over, but New Year's Eve is still in effect! This week, no holiday is safe from the Jersey foolishness!

We started out this episode with a play date with the Guidice kids at the Gorgas' house. In true Teresa fashion, they were 3 hours late. I wouldn't even invite her to anything. She doesn't respect other people's time. It's hard to be TeamTre when she does rude things like this. Milania stole the show all over the place. First, she tossed her clothes everywhere and gave Teresa hell. Then, we found out from little Gino that Milania chokes him out regularly on their play dates. That kid is BAD!! She's cute. But, she's bad. Teresa calls it the "Horrible Fours". You made that up boo. The only 4 year olds I know that horrible is yours. She needs an old-fashioned butt whooping--Krispy Kreme style--best served HOT and fresh. Melissa tried to be cordial with Teresa as the kids played. By that, I mean talk nice to her, then hit her with a request to be in her next cookbook. Teresa's response: "Everybody knows that bish don't cook!" Talmbout she makes a good pork dish. Sweetheart, we don't wanna hear about your trysts with Joey Gorga. Ick. Melissa tried to bring up the Kathy thing again. That didn't go well. Teresa turns herself off to stuff and refuses to listen to anything about it. I don't really care for Melissa or her studio for her horrible voice, but I do appreciate her trying with the stubborn ass that is Teresa. SN: the Ursula comment slayed me....nobody wants to box your voice boo love!

Meanwhile, at the Laurita house, Jacqueline tries to recruit people to help her wrangle her monstrous daughter. Her dad tried to go have a chat with Ashley and talk about her interests in art....wait, Ashley has interests?? Who knew. Although, I don't forsee that going well just because Ashley never commits to anything. Artists are usually committed to their craft. The only thing this chick does regularly is fail. Later in the show, we see Lauren (Caroline's daughter) preparing for her makeup store opening. She enlisted Ashley's artistic expertise to design a company t-shirt/logo. Needless to say, Ashley failed. She drew the sketches in the car on the way there. See where I'm going with this?? It's going to take being cut off for her to finally see that life will leave your dumbass behind depending on other people to keep you clothed, fed, and so on. Lost cause!!

The pre-NYE party conversations were interesting. Melissa pulled a BBW Suzie move by running and telling Kathy what was said between her and Teresa at the play date. Kathy, Richie, Melissa, and Joe G. spent more time doing what they swear they hate doing--talking about Teresa. Stop it! It's getting pathetic. They all tried to say by the end of it that they would try to get along for the new year and all the crap you're supposed to say but you really don't mean.

It was finally time to celebrate NYE! The party got underway...we saw some ugly outfits...bad dancing...and DRAMA! Caroline revealed to Teresa that she did invite the Greasy Wakiles to the event! Ol' Tre was none too pleased with that. What I love is that her slick mouth was locked tight then...Nobody says anything to Caroline. I swear she's Carmela Soprano! Ashley tried to take shots (hello, you're only 20!!) Albie and Chris traded wisecracks....they're like the 3 stooges but with 2. Joe Guidice and Richie threatened each other openly the whole night. It was tre Italiano. In the end, everyone had a great time and Caroline gave us the Don Carmela speech on the new year!

Next week, we get to see Ashley catch the cursing out she's been begging for all season. Can't wait. Til next week...

JOOOOOEEEEE!!!!!!

Teresa Giudice is not a happy camper! About 6 hours ago via her Twitter account, she expressed her anger at Bravo for editing the blog she wrote for the site.

She provided a link (http://www.celebuzz.com/2011-07-25/teresa-giudice-clearing-up-drama-caused-by-fame-whore-family-members/) to the blog that she feels gives an unedited, accurate account of the events on Sunday night's episode.

I have not read the Bravo blog, but I did read the one from the above link. It seems that Teresa is saying Lysa, Melissa's sister, is lying when she claims she was punched in the face by Joe Giudice's mother. I have to say that I believe Teresa is telling the truth on this one. Melissa's sisters seem grubby and ridiculous. After all, they do feed Melissa's massive ego to an unhealthy extent.

The rest of the blog discusses the importance of family, how much she wants to work things out with her brother, blah, blah, blah, blah! I swear, I have never in my life seen a group of people more hell-bent on defending their definition of "family." Frankly, if being a family is this difficult for them, they need to break up because I'm starting to feel like I'm watching the Ronnie/Sam "Jersey Shore" drama.

Man, that state knows how to amp up the trash!!
