Reality Speaks with Pretty Girl

RHOA: 'Nene, Nene- BOO BOO!'

2012-01-16T13:01:00.000-08:00

Well what on earth has gotten into NeNe Leakes or shall I say who is waiting to get into NeNe Leakes? Give big-bird a little opportunity and a couple of dollars and she done lost her damn mind! More after the jump...

So this episode starts with a lunch/make-up date between Peter, Cynthia, Phaedra and Apollo. And I must say that Phaedra is turning out to be my fave housewife. I mean Phaedra wants everyone to get along and most of all she just wants to have fun! Good food and a couple drinks on a hot day and all is forgiven. I don't see the couples being best friends but they can now at least be cordial with one another. But of course weak-willed Cynthia has to check in with her "boss" NeNe and tell her about the lunch date and Phaedra's plan for all the girls to go to South Africa. Negative NeNe tells Cynthia that she's not interested in going out of the country with the group. Well guess what NeNe- no one wants you to go anyway! And who turns down a trip out of the country because they don't get along with one person in the group? A fool does.

NeNe's new found fame and John the pizza guy have gone to her big head. Listen -I'm all for making the best of your 15 minutes and stacking your dollars but really NeNe knock it off! Like Sheree said- do you have any stamps on your passport? And just because you THINK that Trump is your bff- the minute you open that unlearned, uncultured mouth everyone sees that you're the same NeNe from season one with the bad weave, big nose and messed up teeth. I used to like NeNe. She used to be funny, crazy and REAL. Now she's beyond fake. She's turned into that fake and phony person that she used to hate. What's up with that?!? Come back to earth and reality NeNe.

And how painful was dinner with Ms. Joyce and her good intentions? Talk about beating a dead horse! Some people are in your life for a season and some bonds are made to be broken. I think the NeNe, Kim, Sheree friendship train has left the station and the destination is Nowheresville.

Until next week...

RHOA- "Kandi and her butt are turning 35"

2011-11-30T13:15:00.000-08:00

I have to start this post with a question. What is in the water in Atlanta?! Kandi's behind is HUGE and is becoming like another housewife on the show. I mean really! I'm sure that the fellas are loving it but she's got what Phaedra calls a "donkey booty" lol. More after the jump...
Ok- that's enough talk of Kandi's bottom. Anyway, I thought I liked Peter but I'm starting to see why Cynthia's sister and mother dislike him and tried to thwart the wedding. He just doesn't seem to have his financial and business situation together- with checks bouncing before a business even opens. It's not a good look Peter. But as upsetting as it is to watch someone you love drown on a sinking ship- Mel will just have to move on and mind her business because Cynthia is grown and if things don't work out between her and Peter - that's on her.

Kandi prepares for her 35th brithday par-tay and all the girls and guy/girls- Lawrence- are present. He looks like a blonde mess. Nene enters the room like she's the woman of the hour. And there's a clear division in the room with Nene and a group of women on one side and Phaedra and Sheree on the other side.

Things are going well and everybody is having a good time until Phaedra's "Ridiculous" gift- I mean literally- ridiculous gift comes out the box and things go from bad to worse when "Ridiculous" starts to pleasure himself in a way that I will not describe on this blog- but he didn't need a woman to help him- YUCK!. NeNe and her puppies, Cynthia and Peter leave the party/strip club and Kandi's mother is PISSED! I mean she's fighting mad and she decides to confront Kandi in front of everybody. Phaedra feels awful and Miss Joyce leaves in huff.

Maybe the stripper who pleasures himself should have been left for a private party or another day without men and without Kandi's mother.

Until next week!

RHOA- 'Girls Weekend Miami- Part Deux'

2011-11-13T19:20:00.000-08:00

I'm going to start this post with a comment about Sweetie. I don't believe that she's bleaching her skin- she just has the worst Fashion Fair/Posner old school make-up and someone and anyone who does hair and make-up needs to PLEASE help her!!! I'm just sayin'. More after the jump...
Phaedra goes to see Willie Watkins- say it like this- (Will-ehh) to get more background info on the funeral business. And ole' Willie has decided to mentor Phaedra as she tries her hand at buring dead people.
Phaedra tells her hubby about her passion for the dead and how quiet they are- Phaedra is crazy! Apollo is not at all interested in 'Funeral's by Phaedra'- lol!

Over in Miami girls weekend turns out to LITERALLY be girls weekend- lol! NeNe and Kandi won't be getting any action unless it's with a stud and NeNe makes it clear that she's strictly ------ (fill in the blank).
Over lunch, where Kandi is chewing her food like a cow, NeNe tells the girls - again - that she is Rich- capital R, exclamation point, exclamation point!! And with that news the ladies go check out some properties in Miami because NeNe is thinking about relocating. And I'm with Kandi- NeNe knock it off because I can't believe that you can afford a 9 million dollar estate. At the beach we meet Kandi's thighs- yikes - and the ladies meet some not attractive AT ALL European guys.

Kroy's surprise party for Kim is a success. The whole gang is at the party minus- NeNe and her shadow Cynthia. How Kim, who claims to be 34- yea right, landed such a good man is beyond me. He's a genuinely nice guy and seems to really love her and they were married on 11-11-11. I guess it's a case of do wonders never cease?

Until next week...

RHOA & I'm Back!

2011-11-07T18:26:00.000-08:00

It's been a long time but I'm glad to make my return with new postings from my favorite franchise and the ladies of the ATL! I caught up this afternoon with a refresher of a few episodes from last season and honestly it was awesome and I see why Atlanta is the highest rated 'Real Housewives' of the franchise. From the Sweetie slave debacle, to Nene and Kim fighting, to Cynthia almost being a runaway bride- remember her mom and sister tried to hide the marriage license? WTH!!!!. And let's not forget Phaedra's awesome one-liners and Kandi and Sheree adding to the mix. Oh and I can't forget the honorary Queens/Housewives Dwight aka 'Madame' the puppet from the Muppets and Lawrence! These ladies make for awesome- I can't stop watching- TV! I love it and any real reality tv lover feels the same way! More after the jump...

Besides- I am SO SICK of Kim Kardashian and the rest of the fake, money lovin' Kardashian clan- lest Khloe. But unfortunately because she shares the Kardashian name she is also part of my Kardashian rage. I'm sick of that family and their shenanigans and if they think for one minute that ANYBODY feels sorry for their $65 million dollar dollar a year making for doing nothing selves- they're sadly mistaken! Cheers to the end of the Kardashian takeover!

Now back to the ladies of Atlanta. Some things have certainly changed. Kim is pregnant, Sweetie changed her hair and Nene is FULL of herself- yikes! Kandi is starting her own sex toy line, Phaedra wants to take the funeral home world by storm, Cynthia opened a modeling agency and Sheree is- I'm not sure what Sheree is.

In the NOTHING has changed department we have Sweetie still being talked to like a dog by Kim. I really hope Sweetie is being paid nicely for the degrading and embarrassing abuse she takes.

Meanwhile Phaedra handles the burial of her great aunt like she's producing and directing a feature film. She plans on adding funeral home owner to her resume. Funeral homes are big business and Phaedra gets her hustle on and being the 'Boss' that she is let's give the girl a hand clap.

NeNe is as shady as a shade tree. Who says "I'm rich!"I'll tell you who doesn't say that- real rich people. I've never heard the Beverly Hills ladies talk about how many millions they have. NeNe no one is hating on you and I also don't believe your tears. And Cynthia you're so far up NeNe's behind it's ridiculous. When Sheree called the guy that told her that NeNe was making side deals behind her back NeNe didn't want to hear it. If she wasn't lying she would have let the guy have it but instead she double talks and starts yelling and screaming and acting like a foolish- fool! So much for black girls rockin- ugh!

Overall - no surprises so far but we have an entire season left with the lovely ladies of Atlanta so we'll see what happens.

Until next time...

Basketball Wives- "Break-up to make-up to break-up and fight"

2011-07-25T18:36:00.000-07:00

Jevelyn is back in full affect. Poor Jen, who cries the most pitifall cry I've ever seen, explains herself to Evelyn, they hug it out and all is good with the mean girls. But here's the thing Evelyn, your fiance changed his name to 'Ochocinco' and now he's tweeting Glen Beck?!! Really Chad Ochocinco? Glen Beck- ugghhhh and yuck! Evelyn- Chad is a media-whore! Period. Let's call a spade a spade. Whether you choose to admit what everybody else knows is a completely different story. More after the jump.
Apologies seem to be the theme with tonight's show. Tami haaaatttteeesss Meeka and just can't seem to let it go. Meeka even apologizes to Tami for judging her before getting to know her. Tami's not interested. Tami- why can't you just dislike the girl and let her live? You're in Rome for goodness sake! But then on the flip side Meeka- SHUT UP!

Just when Tami is ready to squash it and let the chick live Suzie- aka- don't tell me shit because I'm gonna run and tell it- tells Tami that Meeka was talking about her-yet again! Tami has had it and later that night at the club drinks come to an abrupt end when Tami arrives and basically slaps the crap out of Meeka. Weaves get pulled and Tami is pulled off yet another. So EMBARRASING! Now I like Tami for her truthfulness but the physical gets to be too much. Meeka gets gone and decides to write a letter to Shaunie and Shaunie reads the letter in front of Tami and all the girls. Meeka calls Tami a 'classless chick' among other things and so in a nutshell other then the fact that the two share taste in earrings - they'll never be friends. Am I the only one that noticed that they had the same earrings?

The rest of the trip goes without incident once Meek-Meek leaves.

Back in the states Meeka confronts Suzie and asks why she would throw her under the bus. Suzie plays innocent to Meeka's face but calls her all kind of big mouth bitches when she does her one-on-one with the camera. Suzie is the definition of weak sauce. But Meeka you're a dummy because when they told you that Suzie can't hold water you should've believed them!

Until next week...

Basketball Wives/Season 3- "Meeka shut up!"

2011-06-11T12:34:00.000-07:00

This season it's the fake ones vs. the real ones. The weak ones vs. the strong. Well we know who the fakers are; Evelyn, Meeka, Jennifer- who could be real if she gets off of Evelyn's tit- and lastly Shaunie. I get that Shaunie has to remain somewhat neutral because her interests in the show are mixed- she's the executive producer and also a player so she has to roll with all the women but it's annoying.

The weak ones are Suzie, Jennifer and Meeka. Suzie, Evelyn treated you like shit. Talked to you and about you like a dog and you want to be her friend again? Suzie- you're like an abused woman who can't let the man the beats her go. Knock it off girl and get a backbone! Meeka- why go to each women individually and talk about all of them to the next one? You're the new chick on the block so why not let things happen organically? Meeka- one word- YUCK!

So we're left with Tami and Royce who qualify as both real and strong. I think most would agree that Tami keeps it real. She's a straight shooter and if you cross her it's on. I think most don't want to agree that Royce keeps it real- not sure why but now three seasons into watching these ladies I have a different opinion of Royce. Her characterizations of Evelyn and Jenn are right on point. She may talk shit but she will also tell you how she feels to your face. I don't agree with her talking to Eric via twitter- I think it's weird unless behind the scenes of the show they were always friends. I'm kinda sure that Royce is doing it just to piss Jenn off.

Suzie's weakeness bugs me so much that I hope EVIL-LYN beats her up both mentally and maybe physically. But enough of the wack Suzie conversation.

Jennifer focus on yourself and please don't take the Evelyn's suggestion about smashing anyone, dating youngin's or any of that nonsense. This woman basically scammed you into divorcing Eric- even though you were a willing participant and then she turns around and gets engaged, starts planning on expanding her family with the narcissistic Ochocinco and leaves you high and dry to be single alone. I'm no Eric fan but he was right when he said that it's foolish to take advice on your marriage from a woman that has never been married.

Tami and Meeka won't work. Tami thinks that Meeka will play both sides of the fence. I think Meeka will side with Jevelyn and Shaunie. I'm not sure why anyone would want to be friends with Evelyn. I'm glad that Tami made Meeka cut the BS and fess up to her phony. Meeka you showed your true colors when confronted and you backtracked. You failed the test so all that "I keeps it real" talk is just that- talk!

And to end this review we see how things go full circle and Suzie goes right back to talking about Royce with Jevilyn and taking their side. Suzie- Royce was your only friend when the sharks were feeding off of your flesh. How dare you betray her and flip! But at the end of the day I'm not at all surprised by her lack of loyalty. Suzie is the runt of the litter and just trying to survive- *side-eye*.

Until next week...

Dancing w/Stars- "American Week"

2011-04-19T16:36:00.000-07:00

I can no longer watch this painfully long show live- so here is my DVR'd review. Enjoy. More after the jump...
Who's going home tonight? There are 8 couples left and we have a few more weeks left of really bad karaoke singing from that unfortunate band. Am I the only one that thinks that the singers in the band are horrible?! Anyway- now to the dancing.

Ralph/Karina- I would've never guessed that the Karate Kid was a great dancer. Len and Bruno didn't like his footwork but I like him. Carrie Ann enjoyed it and so did I. He will definitely be around for a while.
22

Chris/Cheryl- Chris can really dance. I think the assumption was that he would suck and he doesn't.
26- The score says it all. He's not going home tonight.

Petra/Dmitry- Petra is actually improving. I have kinda felt that throughout this competition she's gotten by on her good looks- but tonight I actually saw a glimmer of a dancer. The judges reviews were mixed but overall they liked it.
22- She'll be around for a couple more weeks at least.

Romeo/Chelsie- Romeo's start was a bit bumpy but he's trying really hard to prove that you can have "street swag" while at the same time being a ballroom dancer. Bruno and Carrie Ann really liked it.
26- He's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Hines/Kym-Hines is a great dancer. The judges liked it- Len thought it was his best dance.
27- Hines and Kym may take it all.

Kirstie/Maks- Maks loves being shirtless- all jokes aside I'm not sure why- but I'm sure Kirstie and more than a few viewers enjoy looking at him. Kirstie wants him sooooo badly-lol. Len didn't like it but he was in the minority. Maks didn't drop Kirstie so things are looking up for this couple.
23

Kendra/Louis dance the 1,000th dance- which in the grand scheme of things means nothing because Kendra may be going home. I hated absolutely everything about their dance- from the corny music, costume and robotic dancing. Here's to hoping that Kendra gets put out of her misery.
22- The judges liked this dance but I think she's a going home to her two Hanks

And finally my least favorite couple Chelsea/Mark. I know I have no really good reason for disliking Chelsea but I do- so there! LOL. Despite my disdain for Chelsea I actually liked their dance. It was fun and cute and Chelsea is a good dancer. The judges loved it.
26- This is the couple to beat.

All together now- Bye Kendra!

Until next week...

Dancing w/Stars (s.12)- "DJ Mike was the first to go- who's next?"

2011-04-04T19:39:00.000-07:00

So Mike was the first to hang up his dancing shoes. He's relieved and so are we! He couldn't dance and was painful to watch. BUT- and this is a big BUT- in his defense Wendy should consider herself lucky and she should thank her fans for saving her this time around. If she doesn't step up her dancing game tonight she may find herself on the chopping block next. More after the jump...

Tonight's dances will tell a personal/emotional story. Let's get started...

Wendy/Tony dance the Fox-Trot. Here's the good-Wendy's wig looked better than it has during the last two shows? The bad - her dance didn't tell a story and she just can't dance. The judges didn't like it.
15-Wendy your days are numbered!

Chelsea/Mark dance the Cha-cha. For some reason this girl annoys me. She just gets under my skin like Erin did last season. Unfortunately she will be around for a while because she's not a bad dancer. The judges liked it.
23-Whatever.

Chris/Cheryl dance a Rhumba in memory of his mother. It was nice. Carrie-Ann cried. Len appreciated the emotion of the dance. Bruno liked it.
21

Kendra/Louis dance the Rhumba. It started off kinda of bumpy with the smoke machine and Kendra lost her footing but her legs looked great. The judges thought it was hot and sexy.
23

Romeo/Chelsie dance the Rhumba. Well we learned that Romeo hates his dance shoes but despite that he got through his very emotional dance. It was okay. The judges had mixed feelings about the dance.
20

Hines/Kym dance the Samba and Hines can really dance. I think I like this guy! The judges loved it.
25

Petra/Dmitry dance a Waltz. It was nice. Petra is just so sweet you can't help but root for her. The judges loved her.
25

Sugar Ray and Anna. It was awkward Sugar Ray. The judges thought it was much improved.
20

Kirstie/Maks dance the Rhumba. It was nice after the fall which I thought was part of the act. The judges loved it.
21

Last but not least Ralph/Karina dance a Rhumba. It was good but the judges were overly critical.
21

So there you have it. If we're going by scores and worst dancers Wendy will definitely be hanging up her dance shoes. But Wendy has die hard fans so we'll see what happens.

Until the results show...

Dancing w/ the Stars (season 12)- "Step-up your game tonight or go home tomorrow"

2011-03-28T19:08:00.000-07:00

The stars have one more chance tonight to go big or go home. Let's get started...
More after the jump...
Sugar Ray and Anna-
These two start the night out with The Jive. Sugar Ray looked like he was having a lot of fun and he was much more relaxed tonight compared to the first performance last week. He still has room for improvement but overall I liked it. The judges gave mixed reviews and want him to be sharper with his footwork.
17

Kendra and Louis-
Kendra does the Quickstep. It's an elegant lady-like dance and Kendra is very much a tomboy. It started off a bit shaky but I think she pulled it off and it was nice to see her do something more than booty-shake. The judges thought it was improved and that overall she did an excellent job. I don't know that I would call that an excellent performance.
19

Chelsie and Mark dance a Jive and I think there is mjor chemistry between these two. It was a great performance and I think they will be the ones to beat. Carrie-Ann and Len thought there wasn't enough Jive in the Jive. Brunno differed in opinion from the other judges and liked it.
18

Chris and Cheryl dance the Quickstep. If you didn't know that this guy was a wrestler you would never guess it. He is so light on his feet and it was great performance. The judges loved it.
23

Petra and Dmitry dance the Jive. Petra is long and awkward but she's beautiful and wearing very few clothes so she'll be around for a while. It was okay. The judges like her because she's nice to look at and she seems like a really sweet girl.
18

Kirstie and Maks dance the Quickstep. Kirstie's goal is to lose 40 pounds and to do this she'll have to be around until at least the finals. I liked last weeks performance much better but I think she'll get enought votes to stick around for another week. The judges thought she lost some steam and energy in the end but liked her performance overall.
20

Mike and Lacey. Mike better work really, really hard tonight. He had the lowest scores last week and if he doesn't do this Jive perfectly he's going home- unless of course Wendy does an even worse job. And this week was so much better. Mike is stiff but his footwork was good while at the same time a bit off. He's cute so maybe he has some sort of fan base based on being handsome? I don't know- I got nothin else. Sorry Mike.
17

Romeo and Chelsie. Speaking of cutie-pie's Romeo is adorable! Don't call me a cougar- you know it's the truth. They dance the Quickstep and I think if Romeo stays around for a few more weeks he's going to be a real contender for the mirror ball. At the very least his time on this show will definitely up his celebrity. There will be many offers for this young man when it's all over. Len said it was the best dance of the night so far!
23

Wendy and Tony get another chance and she better WORK! Last week was a catastrophe and I don't want to see another horrific performance from her. They dance the Quickstep and it was a marked improvement from last weeks mess. The judges were happy to see her personality come through and they enjoyed it.
17

Ralph and Karina perform an energetic Jive. The Karate Kid is in it to win it! Great performance. The judges liked it.
21

Hines and Kym end the night with the Quickstep. It was good but Hines is forgettable. The judges loved it.
23

Find out who's going home tomorrow night and Chris Breezy performs!

Until tomorrow...

Dancing w/ the Stars (season 12)- "Let's go Dancing"

2011-03-21T19:07:00.000-07:00

Dancing with the Stars is back with a new group of A, B and some C/D list stars all vying for the coveted mirror ball. We have a talk show host, a wrestler, boxer, couple tv/movie stars, a reality star and rapper. Who is going to loose the most weight this season? I'm sure Kristie Alley is hoping that she wins that title. More after the jump...
Chelsea and Mark start off the show with the Foxtrot. I had no idea who this Disney girl was but she and Mark have great chemistry. They definitely have some work to do but it was good for the first time out. She looks alot like Kellie Pickler. Overall the judges liked what they saw.
21

Wendy and Tony dance the ChaCha. Now Wendy is a big woman. She's big in stature and personality and I would be surprised to see Tony do lifts with her but this is Dancing with the Stars so stranger things have happened. Wendy is definitely a crowd favorite so count on her being around until the end regardless of her dancing skills or lack thereof. And unfortunately Wendy's first dance was horrific and I'm being nice! She has alot of work to do. The judges want her to unleash the beast!
14 -The judges were generous so get it together Wendy!

Hines and Kym dance the ChaCha and Hines is one of the athletes that has rhythm. He's good and I can see him just getting better and better. He reminds me of Kyle from last season. The only thing that might work against him is that I don't really see the charm and personality that Kyle had in Hines. But it is the first night so we'll see. The judges liked it.
21

Petra and Dmitry dance the Foxtrot. She's stiff and has some limitations due to her injuries from the Tsunami that she was in back in 2004. It wasn't good and the judges went easy on her in my opinion.
18

Romeo and Chelsie are teamed up to dance the ChaCha and I think that unlike his father, Master P, who had the lowest scores of any season, Romeo will be ok. Romeo has swag and I think the 20 year-old fans will vote for him. It was good and the judges liked it and see his potential. His mom and sister were in the audience and the sister is his doppleganger- freaky how much she looks like him.
19

Sugar Ray Leonard and Anna are next. I'm a huge boxing fan and Sugar Ray is one of my all time favorite dancers. He was so light and fast on his feet as a boxer but surprisingly he's not such a great dancer. He had a few great moments during the Foxtrot but he has work to do. The judges gave him mixed reviews and Brunno called him Sugar-lol!
17

Kendra and Louis dance the ChaCha. Kendra is cute and goofy. She loves to booty-bounce but can she pull off the more elegant dances? It was okay. She was kinda sloppy. The judges liked it but she needs work.
18

Ralph and Karina. The original Karate kid is 49 years old- wow! He's aged pretty well but can he dance? Well actually he can dance and that was the best Foxtrot of the night! I thought it was great and so did the judges. I think he surprised everyone.
24

Chris and Cheryl dance the ChaCha. Wrestling meets dancing and he was pretty good. I think he'll only improve as the competition continues. The judges liked it.
19

Next we have Mike and Lacey. I love Lacey but Mike doesn't look like he has any dance in him at all. He's funny but this isn't a comedy show. He's cute but this isn't a modeling competition. It was the worst Foxtrot of the night. Unless Kirstie is worse than him he will go home first. The judges didn't have anything nice to say. It was just bad.
13

Finally we have Kirstie and Maks. Kirstie is really light on her feet and she looks like she has already dropped a few pounds. Kirstie did a good job. The judges liked it and said her placement was the best of the night. She's 60 and moved like a much younger woman. Great Chacha!
23

Who's going home first? Who surprised you with their fancy feet?

Until next week...

B-ball Wives reunion pt.2- WOW- and am I the only one that wants to know what happened in Vegas!?

2011-03-15T14:49:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the late re-cap but I generally don't review reunion shows and after watching pt. 1 of the B-Ball Wives reunion I wasn't going to even bother watching or writing about pt. 2- but WOW! More after the jump...

Let's talk about the bad stuff first. Jon Salley was the worst host ever! Just because you're a former baskeball player doesn't mean that you should be hosting a reunion show. It was clear to me that he really didn't watch the show and that the producers probably just gave him a tape of the highlights so he half-way knew who and what he was talking about. He was also really creepy when he opened the show with the conversation behind Jennifer's "leaked" nude pics- it was borderline inappropriate and uncomfortable- yuck! Note to VH-1- I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to host a reunion show with this group of women- where do I send an audition tape- lol!

Now that we've gotten the bad out of the way lets move on to the good stuff. I'll begin with Jenn's "leaked" nude pics. Ok-I have to say this- I am so sick of grown-ups going into their bathrooms and taking nude pictures of themselves with their i-phones (screaming)!!!! STOP IT! Why Jenn? And why people? If you take a nude photo of yourself, video of yourself engaging in sex or anything - quite frankly- it is bound to get into the wrong hands. And in this case I believe, just like Royce, that Jennifer leaked her own photos. If she didn't then she's dumber than I thought to think that she could send the pics to someone and that that someone wouldn't leak them to the press! That's just my opinion.

The tough gal of the night award goes to Royce Reed! She didn't give Evelyn or anybody else on the panel a chance to even try and make a fool of her. She called everybody on their mess and was more than unapologetic about it. Royce may be alot of things but I don't think you can call the chick phony. And Jenn, when Royce read the tweet that supposedly came from your friend that said yoou leaked the pic you really didn't act the least bit interested in seeing the tweet- I would've gotten off the couch and found out who the tweet was from.

Quick comment about Ashley- Rayford's "girlfriend". She sounded sick and something about doesn't seem right. The Ashley Walker foundation? Really?

Now onto Suzie. Suzie you have to grow a pair girl! This "circle" of women will continue to treat you like dirt until you stand up for yourself. The ice-queen- aka Evelyn- actually surprised me by not jumping on Suzie. And when she said that she felt bad for being so mean to the poor girl I was shocked. But here's the million dollar question that I want answered- what happened in Vegas Evelyn? What did you do Evelyn and what did Suzie say that you did that made you so mad? Tami talked to Suzie like she was a 5 year old. Regardless of the fact that the advice was appropriate- grown women talk to grown women like their grown women! At the end of the day Suzie just looks like the weak puppy in the liter.

Next we have Gloria. My opinion of Gloria can be summed up in one word- BOOOOOOOO! Granted, she stands up for herself but it's in such a defensive and corny way. Who says "I'm not gonna shoulder check her" Huh? And Gloria, why are you so mad at Shaunie? And Evelyn asked why does Gloria keep coming back? She's coming back for the CHECK! And I have a feeling that everyone will get a nice raise after this 2nd season. Not $20,000 mind you Evelyn- but a raise.

Evelyn and Royce's exchange at the end was quite- uhmm- the only word I can think of is Dirty! The mouth on Evelyn is just so nasty! In fairness, Royce definitely used her fair share of expletives, but Evelyn is the type of person that curses good. She gives a curse word life. When she says bitch you best believe that that's what you are. And when the f-word started getting thrown around I had to close my ears.

I guess it is what it is...

Until next season... Thanks for the laughs ladies!

Basketball Wives (season finale) - "Save the best for last"

2011-03-07T10:11:00.000-08:00

Evelyn is more than smitten with Chad "Ochocinco" and Jennifer is leery of the relationship. But there's also a bit of "I thought we were gonna be single bff's together"mixed in there I think. So much for that Jenny. Evelyn gives Mike the trainer the bad news about the fact that they their relationship will remain platonic because he's not going in the same direction that she's going. That direction being marriage, babies- blah, blah. But wait a minute, when did Ochocinco decide that he wants to be married and have more babies? Things that make you go hmmmm. More after the jump...
Shaunie and Evelyn have a come to Jesus convo with Royce about playing both sides of the fence. She's friends with Suzie and she's friends with "the inner circle". Apparently in the world according to Shaunie and Evelyn she can't have it both ways. What is this high-school? Royce stands her ground, no surprise, and just nods her head. Royce makes no apologies for what she does or who she is no matter what anyone thinks- gotta love that! She's a ballsy little lady!

Jennifer invites the ladies to her "Lucid" lip-gloss launch party and the girls, including her bff Evelyn, are completely surprised because they had no idea that Jenn was launching anything. All the girls are really supportive and it looks like Jennifer is trying really hard to just move forward with her life minus Eric. I'm rooting for you Jenn and if I can find your lip-gloss at a store near me I will definitely support! Nothing beats a great gloss.

Evelyn goes to Cincinnati to see Chad and she's happy to see that his shoes and belt match- that means a lot to her *side-eye*. Over dinner the two narcissists talk about their intentions with one another, they finish dinner go back to his loft and you know the rest- blah, blah, blah. Who cares.

Evelyn shares the details of her trip with Jennifer and she's less then impressed. I'm not sure if Jenn is jealous, concerned or annoyed. Again- who cares.

Ok, now for the piece de resistance of the entire season finale. The ladies get together for Jenn's birthday dinner and Tami gets a little emotional and tells Evelyn how inspired she is by her- huh? She thanks Jenn for being her friend during her surgery and is just overall thankful to the ladies for being her friend. Tami walks away from the table to get herself together and then Evelyn drops a bomb. Apparently Evelyn messed around with Kenny when he was married to Tami- ahhhhhhhhhh!!!! Shaunie encourages Evelyn to tell Tami the truth. Not a good idea. Evelyn tells Tami and Tami feels foolish because she just poured her heart out only to discover that the woman she's inspired by slept with her ex-husband?!? Ain't that a kick in the ass! Scandalous. Tami literally tries to rip Evelyn's head off and she's completely justified. I think it's safe to say that those two will never be friends.

A great ending to a wild season!

Until next time...

Basketball Wives- "Let's just get it all out in the open"

2011-02-22T15:00:00.000-08:00

This episode starts with the girls having drinks and Shaunie confronting Royce about her whining and complaining during the trip. Royce says that she genuinely didn't feel well and that she didn't feel like she was a complainer. Then, out of the blue, Tami then decides to ask who was talking "ish" about her when she first came on the scene. Royce says that Jenn said something about Tami being "messy" to which Jenn vehemently denies so then Royce throws Suzi under the bus and says that actually Suzi said Tami was messy. The conversation ends, for the moment, without anybody getting cussed out or fists flying.

This girls manage to break down some barriers as their trip in Spain winds down. Jennifer is forced to talk about her situation with Eric yet AGAIN and she finally lets it all out and cries that ugly cry. I think the tears actually cleansed her soul. It's good to let go! More after the jump...

The girls go see a well known flamenco dancer and Royce comes out her shell, out of her funk, is free and clear of her sickness and manages to have a good time. On their last day in Spain Shaunie and Royce talk about the complaining conversation, once again, and they agree to disagree and hug it out! Yay!

At the final dinner Evelyn wears what was her wedding dress and is now a "freak-um" dress. Recycling at it's best! All in all the girls had a great time and, believe it or not, genuinely formed a bond. Do wonders never cease?

Once back in the states "Jevelyn" talks about Royce being two-faced. Royce, ya talk ish about Suzi and then you talk to Suzi like she's your best friend. They also talk about Ashley and Royce's "friendship" and how Ashley is weird and shady.

Ashley and Royce meet for lunch and Ashley surprises Royce with Suzi. Royce and Suzi had a falling out but Royce comes clean to Suzi about throwing her under the bus to Tami in Spain. Suzi says she doesn't care what Tami or the other girls think but I believe she's more concerned then she puts on because Tami will whup that ass!

Royce invites her father and brother over to talk to Dwayne. She basically sets Dwayne up to have a "pre-engagement" talk with her dad. Dwayne tells her Dad that he plans to take things with Royce to the next level and Daddy is pleased. It was really nice to see Royce with her family. She has a great relationship with her Dad and brother- very sweet.

Ashley and her baby daddy , Rafer Alston, decide to dispel the myth and rumors about their relationship and stop by "Dulce" Evelyn's store. Jennifer actually knows Rafer because a friend of hers used to be engaged to him. It was a bit awkward but Evelyn actually played nicer than Jenn- go figure. Maybe the $1,500 dollar shoes that Rafer bought for Ashley softened Evelyn a bit. A customer is a customer and when said customer is spending over a thousand on shoes any issues seem to mysteriously go away. Hmmm.

Dwayne and Royce stroll through the mall and stop at the jewelry store to go ring shopping so they're definitely going to take that next step. Jennifer is also ready to take the next step by talking to a divorce lawyer. She's torn and sad but ready to move on.
One relationship ends and another begins. And the beat goes on...

Tami decides to meet with Suzi to clear up this "messy" comment. Come on Tami- you know Suzi is afraid of her own shadow- let it go! It's not even fun to see this confrontation because it's an unfair fight. Suzi does the smart thing and just walks away- whew!

See ya next week for the season ending fight that we've all been waiting for- Tami vs. Evelyn!

Basketball Wives- " I hate y'all"

2011-02-14T16:36:00.000-08:00

Damn- can a chick be sick!?! The girls go to Madrid for fashion week and things start off a bit shaky - for Royce. Her throat hurts, her skin hurts and she just feels awful. The girls weren't in the mood to show off their bed-side manner and this time it's Royce's turn to get teased/bullied by Jevelyn + 1 ( the 1 being Shaunie- she's gone to the dark side) - lol. Listen Suzi, the weakest link, is out of the circle now so someone has to be the new target. More after the jump...
After the first fashion show the crew walks around and a spanish talk-show host stops the group and asks if he can interview the girls- just three of the girls that is. And who does he pick? The three muskateers of course- Shaunie, Evelyn and Jennifer. Tami and Royce take a seat on the sidelines and Royce shares with Tami that she thinks the girls are just mean and she's basically over their shenanigans. When the group gets back together Tami, she says she wants everyone to have a good time and that Royce is just not feeling well- and to basically go easy on the chick. Shaunie could care less and says as much. Royce- they hate you- period.

After a two-hour timeout/nap the girls go to another show and Jennifer meets an "average" looking guy named Marcel and immediately wants to hang out with him later. I guess she's just being friendly because he was being friendly but - whatever. Evelyn hopes that Jennifer gets to use the condom that she gave her. I hope not.

Later on at a party Marcel shows up and Jennifer acts like she's ready to start a relationship with the man. Things come to a screeching halt on that non-romance though when Marcel discloses that he's currently married! I guess Jennifer is so rusty to the dating game that it never dawned on her to ask him any personal questions.

The next day, Royce, who so obviously has strep throat, sits out on the girls opportunity for a private fitting from one of the big designers showing at fashion week. Shaunie, Evelyn and Jennifer try on several outfits from the designer and Tami just sits on the sidelines and watches as the girls play dress-up. I guess while sitting, watching and drinking several glasses of strong wine she started to feel some kind of way and when they go outside Tami goes off on Evelyn and her fakeness. They exchange words but that's as far as it goes. Shaunie and Tami take a walk to discuss what happened and later on when the group gets back together Tami tells Evelyn that she's willing to let things go and all is peaceful again- for a moment.

The girls take in a bullfight, Royce included. The bullfight was Tami's idea and "Jevelyn" leaves right before the bull is killed because they didn't feel comfortable seeing a helpless animal die like that. Of course, as they were leaving the stadium they talked shit about Tami and how weird it was for someone to want to see a bull fight. Granted, I would not want to see a bull die either but if I'm in Spain I just might want to take in a bullfight- just because it's Spain and part of the culture- duh?!. What's so weird about that?

The girls go have drinks after the bullfight and Evelyn confronts Royce and asks why she called them mean girls. Royce totally owns up to it which is what I think is so great about her- she's doesn't run scared and back down! Shaunie has clearly converted to the Evelyn/Jennifer way of dealing with people and asks Royce why she came on the trip if all she was going to do was complain. I would agree with this statement if the girl wasn't actually sick! She seems to show the classic symptoms of strep-throat or flu but I'm no doctor so who knows?

I guess a change in country doesn't mean a change in attitudes!

Until next week...

RHOA (Season Finale)- "Is this a wedding or a funeral?"

2011-01-31T07:39:00.000-08:00

This season ending episode could have been easily titled "Crying Game". Between the tears surrounding Cynthia and Peter's wedding- more on that in a minute- and Phaedra showing her true maternal side by crying and being quite broken up about leaving baby Aydin as she goes back to work. There were more than enough tears to go around. It was sweet to see how close Phaedra has grown to her son. I mean, let's remember this is the same woman who upon first laying eyes on her healthy baby boy said "gross!". I think it's safe to say that Phaedra has come a long way. More after the jump...
Now onto the highlight of the show, Cynthia and Peter's nuptials. I've never seen more crying and saddness surrounding two people taking that next important step in their relationship. Cynthia looks like she has the weight of the world on her shoulders and the stress of it all has aged her like 10 years. It seems like the well has truly run dry for her and Peter and there is no money. Cynthia seems determined to go through with the wedding as planned much to the chagrin of her sister and mother. I just don't understand why she feels the need to pretend like they have money to do this big extravaganza. Why put yourself in a financial mess like this? I mean there is literally no money and her family is downright distraught! Her sister Mal can't stop crying and her mother is just worried that Cynthia is making a huge mistake. Cynthia explains that all her and Peter's money went into his now defunct club. Cynthia is resentful because she's never been cash strapped like this before and it seems as if Peter is no help. Peter was largely absent during most of the episode except at the end so it looked like Cynthia was spinning her wheels alone in trying to figure things out. But Peter doesn't strike me as the type of man to just do nothing. I hope that, off camera, he was hustling just as much as the bride but who knows. Barbara, Cynthia's mother and Mal are focused on trying to get Cynthia to change her mind, even going as far as trying to hide the marriage license! What is wrong with them!?! I mean really!

Despite all the drama the wedding goes off without a hitch. Cynthia looked beautiful in a very non-traditional dress. Peter teared up as soon as he laid eyes on her. So before a couple hundred guests and a huge dinosaur the two got hitched. It was quick ceremony, they read vows to each other and didn't exchange rings- huh!? - but they got through it. I really hope things work out but they started off the marriage with so much mess I'm not sure. Quick side-note, Kim's tacky ass has the audacity to bring a bottle of wine to the cocktail hour because she says that because Cynthia and Peter have no money she knows that they won't have good alcohol. What! Stop your shenanigan's Kim!

Now onto the funny! Sheree auditions for a play and the panel judging the auditions hates her! Terri Vaughn, the actress from "The Steve Harvey Show", can't contain her disgust for Sheree's acting abilities or lack thereof. Sheree's read wasn't so bad but if you read the facially expressions of the woman with the 5 chins and turned up lips to Terri Vaughn literally yelling at Sheree and losing her shit, you would've thought that she was the worst actress EVER! Pretty funny!

Greg tries to extend an olive branch with Nene and apologizes for their lack of communication and the way things have gone down between the two of them. Nene seems like she's pretty much done. I think it's safe to say divorce is probably in there future.

Nene and Kim still hate each other. There friendship is beyond repair. Kim got her boobs done and plans on debuting her new girls and new boyfriend, Kroy, at the wedding. The boob job is obviously a waste of money given that she's now pregnant but I guess she wasn't planning on getting knocked up when she had the surgery. At the reception Dwight approaches Nene and tells her how much he's missed her. At first Nene looks disgusted but Dwight softens her up and they end up kissing and making up. Maybe these two can let bygones be bygones.

Overall a great end to a fantastic season!

Until next time...

RHOA- "Mommy is not playing with you!"

2011-01-24T06:58:00.000-08:00

You know I used to be a big fan of NeNe Leakes but I'm starting to question her motives. Last week NeNe and Kim almost go to blows over NeNe making a comment about Kim treating Sweetie, her assistant, like a slave. Now granted Kim is a fool and she does talk to Sweetie crazy BUT if Sweetie is dumb enough to tolerate that behavior then so be it. And maybe Kim pays Sweetie well enough that being an indentured servant is worth it- at least for her bank account. More after the jump...
And Kim why would you think that the woman that choked you out last year would one day be a friend again? You should've cut your losses when she laid hands on you. I think it's safe to say that after this argument Kim and NeNe show is over for good.

Kandi and Kim's tour ends in Miami and Cynthia has a modeling gig there. So the girls decide to make a weekend of celebration for Cynthia and her upcoming wedding. When they arrive at the Miami mansion of Thomas Kramer, a creepy rich friend of Kim's, things don't seem to get any better between her and NeNe a but all the girls have decided to try to make the best of the weekend because they're all there to support Cynthia. Now the weekend is supposed to be just for the houswives- no outside friends, assistants or slaves. NeNe got upset when Kim wanted to include Sweetie and then when Lawrence shows up she really pitches a fit. NeNe grow-up and stop letting Kim push your buttons. And let's be real Lawrence is just a vagina short of being a girl.

I really get annoyed with Miss NeNe Leakes when she decides to invite her friend, Diana, to the girls weekend since "no one has followed the rules" and "everybody else has invited someone". What rules NeNe? Stop it! First of all you cannot invite your friend to someone else's house. It's rude. And this is Kim's friends house so it takes a lot of nerve to just take it upon yourself and invite someone without discussing it with the Kim or more importantly Thomas because it's his home. But that's NeNe.

When Diana arrives things get tense. When Kim tells Sweetie that she can stay because Diana is here Diana has the nerve to say that she was invited! Huh!?! Diana you know that you had no business accepting NeNe's invitation to a house that's not hers! Come on. And then NeNe pretends that she didn't make a big deal of outsiders being invited to the supposed "girls weekend". NeNe the weekend is not about you it's about Cynthia!

Cynthia feels like she has to do this runway show because with the closing of Peter's club they need the money to finish paying for their wedding. Why have a big wedding if you don't have the money Cynthia? You're not 20 so what is the point in the big hoopla that you and Peter cannot afford? Go to city hall and seal the deal. Just sayin.

During a group breakfast the conversation turns to Cynthia's wedding and she just breaks down crying. The only person that knows about the financial problems that Cynthia and Peter are having is NeNe so the girls don't know how to react when she looses it. Selfish NeNe tries her hardest to convince Cynthia to end the girls weekend early early. NeNe just because you don't want to stay don't try to convince Cynthia to leave her own bachelorette party! Who does that?!? When NeNe suggests that she and Cynthia are leaving early the girls are pissed and rightfully so. Everybody decides that even if Cynthia leaves they won't let the strippers go to waste. Sheree convinces Cynthia to stay and shuts NeNe's nonsense down. Grow up Cynthia and stop being NeNe's lap dog! And NeNe you should be ashamed of yourself.

Everybody loosens up at the party and has a good time with the greasy, nasty strippers. Lawrence's imitations of everybody was the best part of the night! Lawrence truly saved the day! And we also learned more about Kandi and Phaedra's admiration for certain sexual acts- TMI! Kandi and Phaedra are clearly the freak-a-leeks of the group!

Will Cynthia make it down the aisle? Will NeNe and Kim repair their broken friendship once again?

See ya next week for the season finale...

Basketball Wives- "Do you"

2011-01-24T05:11:00.000-08:00

Oh Royce- aren't we the bad ass. Give Suzie a break. I think Royce needs to understand that everybody isn't as strong as she is or pretends to be. Be a friend and a bit more supportive and understanding of the fact that Suzie is scared to go toe-to-toe with "Evileen" aka Evelyn. More after the jump...
Evelyn decides to start dating again and she's not just subjecting the black man to her wrath. No, no, no- she does not discriminate and wants to let the white man in on what they're missing as well- *side-eye*. Although we know she ends up with Mr. Dark Chocolate himself -Chad Ocho Cinco. I guess the saying "once you go black you never go back" rings true.

Meanwhile Tami decides that she's found a kindred spirit in Evelyn and decides to invite her out to lunch. She wants to make sure they remain allies and apparently she thinks that they have a lot in common. Oh Tami- just because you like to fight and she likes to fight doesn't make you too alike and do you really want to be like Evelyn? They bond over shared stories of abortions and teen pregnancies. Overall it was a great lunch- yikes!

Royce and Dwayne are definitely vibing and working towards their future which may one day include marriage. They've been dating for a short time but have known each other for 11 years so there is some history there. So to all the naysayers- Evelyn and Jennifer- there you have it. Royce's relationship is doing just fine and IF Dwayne is in fact "riding on her coat-tails"- well just maybe she likes it. Do you Royce girl! Do you!

Jennifer and Eric meet for dinner and the conversation of being friends comes up again. Eric is not having it and just wants to end things as quickly and drama free as possible. He's definitely taking the cold road but that's what dudes do. Jennifer it's an ego thing so don't expect Eric to start crying hysterically over the demise of your marriage. He's just not going to go there. Focus on your line of lip-glosses and moving forward with your life and new found freedom. Your time will be better spent "doing" Jennifer! And the glosses look pretty fab so I would even entertain supporting your line.

Evelyn's first dive into dating white guys starts with her trainer Mike. Mike is 25, about 10 years her junior, so Evelyn likes to date young dummies that she can control. Now I get it. They go to dinner and then ice-skating. Come on now Mike black girls don't like the cold- Lesson #1.

Jennifer and Eric go on a double date with a married couple and the shit hits the fan. When the conversation turns to the fact that Jennifer needs to forgive and let Eric's past indiscretions go the mood goes from bad to worse. And then when Eric tells Jennifer to just get a lawyer and make the split official Jennifer looses it while Eric leaves the building.

I don't think reconciliation is in Jennifer and Eric's future. Do you think Royce and Dwayne have a real chance of love? Only time will tell.

Until next week...

American Idol 10- "I didn't even miss Simon"

2011-01-19T19:53:00.000-08:00

This is going to be a short post because I don't really review the show before the final 12. But given the new cast I wanted to share my thoughts. More after the jump...
It's season 10 of American Idol and I'm happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised with our new panel of judges. When they announced that J-Lo and Steven Tyler would be the replacements for Simon, Ellen and Kara I was not impressed. I just didn't get it. I am not a fan of Jennifer Lopez and I didn't really have an opinion about Steven Tyler one way or another. But I am happy to report that they fit in really well.

I'm a huge fan of Simon Cowell and I thought for sure I would miss his acerbic demeanor and critique but I didn't think about him at all- not once. It was refreshing almost to have the two newbies because they're not yet jaded and equally as excited as the contestants to be part of American Idol. I think Simon really hated being on the show last season. He was like that co-worker that has been with the company for a gazillion years and brings down the rest of the department with his negativity. You all know who I'm talking about- lol. At least he admitted that he was over it and left the show before things got really ugly.

Tonight's auditions were held in NJ and it was the usual mix of cray-cray and some real talent. Jennifer didn't offer any silly or annoying advice to anybody. She was down to earth and kept whatever diva that she may possess in check. She had a hard time being mean and saying no but I'm sure Randy and Steven will help her with that. Steven Tyler was funny, entertaining and enthusiastic. He adds a nice bit of comic relief without being too over the top. Randy was his usual self. These three definently have good working chemistry and energy.

But it is only the first show and I'm sure that someone is bound to annoy me before it's all over. We'll just have to wait and see..

Do you like the new judges?

An Explosive Reunion

An Explosive Reunion

Basketball Wives- "Im'a Google a food stamp"

2011-01-16T19:20:00.000-08:00

This episode starts with Royce getting the girls together at the pool to talk about the charity event that she's having with her boyfriend Dwayne. Dwayne and Royce want the ladies to walk in the fashion show part of the program. And Royce's dance group, "Fantashique", will also be performing. Evelyn looks typically unimpressed and not really interested in participating. She thinks that Dwayne is riding off of Royce's success to promote himself. Really? Evelyn why do you have to be such a hater? This man seems to genuinely like Royce and just because he's not an athlete or a "Baller" doesn't mean that the man is useless! Ughhhh- stop it! More after the jump...
Meanwhile, when Tami arrives the infamous food-stamp argument starts up again. Jennifer decides that she will utilize google to see what a food stamp actually looks like. Tami decides that she just hates Jennifer- period! These two will never be friends. Moving on...

At the fitting for the fashion show Evelyn and Jennifer take one look at the clothes and literally bust out laughing. The clothes were horrific! Royce invites Suzie to walk in the show as well and gets pissed off when she doesn't show up to the fitting. Royce needs to realize that Suzie is going to do everything in her power to avoid any further altercations with Evelyn- and rightfully so. None of the ladies have Suzie's back and if there was a fight between Evelyn and Suzie who's going to jump in on Suzie's side? Uh- nobody! Royce plays both sides, Shaunie is neutral and Tami could be swayed given her disgust with Jennifer but she barely knows Suzie so why would she jump in a fight on her behalf?

Jennifer and Eric go to a useless therapy session. But what comes to light is that he cheated on her the day before their wedding! WTH! No wonder the girl never trusted him. And why the hell did you marry him Jennifer? Eric is ready to move forward but Jennifer doesn't understand why they can't just be friends. Jennifer you need to move on girl! And weren't you the catalyst for the pushing for the divorce? If he cheated on you the day before the wedding and several times after that why continue to try and fix things? My advice-Jennifer leave Eric and his teeth alone.

"Jevelyn" decides to bail on Royce and Dwayne's event at the very last minute. Royce is pissed! She breaks the news to Dwayne and they both decide that it was better that the drama was left out of this charity event. After the debacle at Ashley's I agree.

Royce meets "Jevelyn" to find out why they pulled out of the charity event an hour before it started. "Mean" and "Evil" aka Jennifer and Evelyn immediately try to go in on how they feel Dwayne is an opportunist- blah, blah, blah,- which is basically a bunch of BS. Royce tells them that she fought for them to participate because apparently none of the designers wanted to be bothered with their drama in the first place. With that Evelyn just blurts out that she didn't show up because she just didn't feel like it! Nasty, nasty Evelyn. Royce finally sees what the rest of the world already knows- "Jevelyn" is like a puss filled sore- disgusting!

I'll end this post with a surprising twist. Tami has a fat melting surgery and after the procedure has to heal all alone in her hotel room. Suddenly there's a knock at the door and in walks Jennifer with flowers and a card filled with none other than food stamps! Jenn explains that she wants to just call a truce and try to be friends. Tami appreciates the gesture and laughs at the food stamps.

It will be interesting to see if these two will actually keep the hatchet buried and become friends. I say no way. What do you think?

Until next week...

RHOA- "Let's toast to my baby"

2011-01-10T15:13:00.000-08:00

This episode starts with Phaedra preparing for the her sons "Sip-n-See" not Slip in Slide- "Sip-n-See". It's a southern tradition, ya know. She's hoping that the ladies attending will be on their best behavior. The last time the group got together Kim and Phaedra exchanged some heated words- something like "your husbands an ex-con" and "show me the papers that prove you're a nurse". More after the jump...
At the baby's coming out party Phaedra and Kim decide to chat one-on-one. Kim brings her LPN certificate- BAM- and Phaedra explains to Kim how she and Apollo met and that despite his criminal past everyone deserves a second chance. It looks like these two will play nice going forward. Miracles do exist.

Meanwhile, NeNe is forging ahead with her entertainment reporter career. Her first interview is with Jermaine Dupree. Things get off to a bumpy start and Jermaine doesn't seem interested or impressed with NeNe. She didn't do her research and asks him a bunch of silly questions. It's not looking good and then NeNe lightens the mood by asking Jermaine what he thinks of Kim's singing career. That's enough to make anyone laugh. He loosens up and the interview ends well but NeNe sees that being a real journalist isn't easy.

Kim and Kandi begin their three city tour and Kandi's manager/assistant Don Juan has set-up some ground rules that Kim is none to happy about. When Kim sees the tour bus the complaints start immediately and Kandi doesn't know how she's going to deal with Kim and her "assistant" Sweetie.

Cynthia and Peter try their hand at pre-marriage counseling with their actor/friend/author/relationship expert Hill Harper. Who knew he was a relationship expert? Peter's business is suffering with the economic downturn and money is tight and conflict occurs between the couple. The dream wedding that Cynthia has been dreaming of may not happen. Cynthia is also upset because she invested several thousand dollars in Peter's business which technically makes it her business as well. They're not even married yet and money is already a problem. I really had high hopes for this couple but unfortunately when the money is funny it causes even the strongest couples to loose sight of what's really important.

It's show time in Charlotte for Kandi and Kim. Despite smoking cigarettes and drinking Kim does well with the "hip-hop" crowd. Kandi won't kick her off the tour yet. We'll see what happens on their next stop.

Until next week...

Basketball Wives- "Are you my friend or frenemie?"

2011-01-10T08:26:00.000-08:00

Last nights episode starts with Suzie attempting to gain a friend/ally in Tami. Tami decides that it's not the smartest move for her to to cut her ties- yet- with Evelyn, Shaunie and Jennifer. I get her strategy. Why break ties and form alliances with the wrong side when you're not fully aware of the whole Evelyn vs. Suzie story. More after the jump...
Jennifer tells Evelyn and Shaunie that her marriage is over- maybe- she doesn't know. And Evelyn seems almost happy that she'll have a friend to play with and share her misery with. It's kinda messed up that your friends would celebrate the demise of your marriage. At least try to pretend that you're sad for the chick. It will be interesting to see how Evelyn behaves if and when she introduces Chad "Ocho-Cinco" to the group. I wonder if "Jevelyn" ( Jennifer/Evelyn) will break-up?

Over lunch Eve and Jenn find out that they're not invited to Ashley's charity event. Ashley is the new Basketball Wife- who is not a wife but a girlfriend of Rafer Alston aka "Skip to my Lou"- because she wants no drama between Suzie and "Jevelyn". The two bored /mean girls decide that they're going to crash the event. Come on ladies get a hobbie and stop the madness. Surely you girls have better things to do besides crashing events that you're not invited to- ugghhh.

Jennifer's talk with a therapist uncovers the obvious. She's not really done with Eric or her marriage. When the therapist suggests that that Eric come in to talk Jennifer seems open to it- we'll see what happens.

Tonight's episode also introduces Shaunie's new man Marlon. He's younger than her but Shaunie has good genes on her side and honestly they look like a "young couple". She seems happy and carefree with her new "Boo".

At Ashley's event, Tami, Royce and Suzie are the first to arrive and Tami immediately starts asking Ashley the hard questions like- Where's your supportive man? Has he cheated on you? Where's Evelyn and why wasn't she invited? Ashley kind of reminds me of Gloria with her "I don't give a ---- attitude". She explains that this event is for charity and not for drama. Oh- and that she doesn't worry about infidelity in her relationship. Shaunie arrives with Marlon and all is well at the event. Kind of like the quiet before the storm.

And then things take a really cray-cray turn to the left. "Jevelyn" arrives with guns blazing. Suzie disappears because she doesn't want to get verbally or physically assaulted. Tami has had way too much to drink and brings up Jennifer's comments about food stamps. Tami's hand is waving in Jenn's face and Evelyn is holding Tami back. Tami thinks she hears Jenn call her a bitch- I think what it was, was that she wanted Jenn to call her a bitch so that she could slap her. Shaunie steps in and pulls Tami out of the event and "Jevelyn" leaves the party together- of course.

This fight definitely isn't over and it will be interesting to see if Evelyn and Tami have words in the future. After all Tami attacked Jennifer and although Evelyn didn't have to jump in and save Jennifer from getting a whooping surely she didn't appreciate her bestie getting a verbal beat down by the new girl.

Until next week...

Basketball Wives- "The Ambush"

2011-01-03T13:23:00.000-08:00

This review is dedicated to Val- Lol!

Last night's episode starts off with Gloria getting ambushed by the "Fearsome Four". Shaunie throws around the word "Boo-Boo" about 15 times and when the ladies question Gloria as to why her wedding didn't happen she insists that it was her call and it will happen on her terms. Girl please!
More after the jump...
Suzie was at the restaurant with Gloria but jumps ship when things continue to escalate leaving Gloria to fend for herself. Although this fight seems to be primarily between Shaunie and Gloria, leaving the rest of the gang to sit back and enjoy the show, I for sure wouldn't want Suzi to be my "wing-girl" if I was in fight.

Eric and Jennifer finally have the talk about where there relationship is NOT going and it's pretty clear that Jennifer wants out. Eric doesn't seem to really care either way but he's certainly over being the bad guy. I don't really have an opinion either way about what happens with these two other than I'm over Jennifer's whining. Woman-up Jenn and bounce! You look miserable and he's not cute. Done.

Meanwhile in happy normal relationship world- Royce seems to have hit the jackpot with her new boo Dwayne. They make a cute couple and he's really attentive, sweet and normal. Interestingly enough all these girls should take a cue from Royce because she seems to be the most normal one of the bunch. Now maybe she wasn't always normal but whatever changes she's had to make in her life seem to be working for her. Unfortunately, she decides that it's time to introduce Dwayne to the "Bitter Betty's" and asks Suzie to join the group for dinner. Of course, Suzie has her reservations about coming because she's tired of being constantly attacked by Evil Evelyn at these outings.

Within minutes of meeting Dwayne the girls go in on the question of whether or not he's "spread Royce's hips". Their words not mine! Classy. Suzie shows up late and all hell breaks loose. Evelyn starts yelling and screaming and despite Suzie's plea's of missing Evelyn and their friendship nothing changes. I'm starting to think that Suzie is suffering from BFS- Battered Friend Syndrome. Why on earth would you want to be friends with a woman that has called you everything but your name humiliated you in front of others on several occasions and says with certainty that she wants nothing to do with you?
Dysfunctional much?!?

See ya next week for more fights...

Basketball Wives- "The Real World plays basketball"

2010-12-13T09:03:00.000-08:00

So the wives, girlfriends and others are back for another water throwing, cussing and fighting good time. Have things and alliances changes with these classy ladies? I use the term classy very loosely. Only time will tell.
More after the jump...
The new girl on the block is Tami Roman, ex-wife of Kenny Anderson. Apparently she's had a hard time of it because her pre-nup stated that she got nothing in the divorce and she got NOTHING! She's had to use food stamps to get food for her family for goodness sakes! Yikes. Kenny Anderson what's up with that?!! Anyway, I'm glad Tami is coming aboard because she's definitely gonna give Evelyn a run for her money. If this was the "Bad-Girls" house Evelyn would probably be the leader and it's time that someone new stepped in and handled this chick.

Tami introduction to the group is over dinner and drinks and as soon as she leaves the table to go to the bathroom they proceed to talk shit about her. Evelyn tell Shaunie that she doesn't like Tami's weave or nails- I have no comment on that. And Tami returns to the table and asks what was said in her absence Jennifer tells Tami that she was just saying how she's never seen a food stamp. Who says that even if they are thinking it? Tami is definitely not as outwardly polished as the other ladies- not including Royce who has her own style. And she probably don't shop at the same stores as the rest of the gang but so what. I can only see things going downhill with the new girl if silly comments like Jennifer's are going to continued to be made. Tami laughed it off but you know she was holding back. She gets an A for self control.

Jennifer is still going through her mess with Eric and if I could actually talk to her and give her a bit of advice it would be to SHUT UP! Stop talking to your newly single, constantly single, bitter Betty's about your relationship and marriage- period! What advice can an unmarried, never married or badly divorced women give you about making your marriage healthy? This isn't high-school Jennifer- grow up, woman up and deal with your mess with your husband.

Evelyn is on the outs with Suzie over some Vegas trip that the girls took. Suzie apparently talked to Al Reynolds (huh?) and some other folks outside the circle about the trip and Evelyn is pissed. Jennifer and Evelyn decide to confront Suzie about her loose lips, Evelyn fake cries and Suzie doesn't really get the chance to defend herself. We don't get a clear picture of what happened in Vegas but in a nutshell someone had sex and Suzie spilled the beans. Let's just assume that "someone" was Evelyn. Suzie you should've just kept your mouth closed. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

Shaunie has the girls over for cocktails and Evelyn starts that Vegas argument up again and despite Suzie's apology Evelyn is done. Evelyn is officially a "mean girl". Being betrayed by a friend sucks but for whatever reason I feel badly for Suzie.

Suzie is feeling sad and lonely knowing that she's now on the outs with the "Queen B" and decides to call an old friend. And just like that guess who's back- Gloria!

Until next week...

RHOA- "Good-by-E Dr. Tiy-E"

2010-11-23T08:38:00.000-08:00

Ok, let's start by announcing the happy news- Kim Zolziak is preggers by her football playing, much younger boyfriend. I guess this means she won't need "Big Poppa's" stacks anymore. Whateve.

Moving on...

Phaedra finally gives birth and is forced to admit the obvious- she was 40 weeks pregnant, full term- as everyone in America suspected. But you gotta love Phaedra- if only for her "real-ness" and I can't hate on a girl that keeps it real. Have you ever watched "A Baby Story"? Well on many of those shows the woman has the baby, the nurse hands the baby to the mother with all the blood and yuck on it and the mother smiles and declares her happiness with her new bundle of covered in blood- joy. Phaedra said EXACTLY what I would've said at the first sight of her sweet baby boy covered in yuck- "oh gross". Wow- I never thought I would agree with anything coming out of Phaedra's mouth. By the way, the baby is so cute!

NeNe is trying to build on her 15 minutes and lands a job as an entertainment reporter for one of the local news stations. Let's give the girl a hand clap for capitalizing on her time in the spotlight. After all, who knows how long she and Greg will remain happily married and she should definitely have her own bank- for sure!

Finally, Dr. - and I use that title loosely- Tiy-E gets exposed for the fraud that he is. Here's how it went down- Sheree decides to have a card party and invites all the ladies and their significant others to her house for a night of fun. When NeNe comes in the door she greets everyone with hollywood kisses and hugs but things get really chilly when the balding, fake Dr. approaches her with outstretched arms. NeNe immediately recognizes him and questions their association. Tiy-E pretends like he has no idea who NeNe is but it's too late because NeNe pulls Sheree to the side and tells her that there is something fishy about her Dr. and before the evening ends she's gonna get some answers. Within minutes the rest of the party is very aware of the whispers of the fraudulent Dr. and from there he basically sits in the hot-seat and gets questioned about where he went to school, how long he went to school, is he a doctor? Blah, blah, blah. In the end we find out that Tiy-E Muhammad got his "Dr" title from a school he attended ONLINE! Whatever. You're a creepy liar and I don't even believe that your real name is Tiy-E.

So there you have it. Next week, Sheree goes in on the good doctor. Looks like somebody's gonna get there feelings hurt.

Until next week...

RHOA- "Penis Ointment and Phaedra why are you so clueless?!?"

2010-11-16T05:36:00.000-08:00

This episode starts with Sheree sharing her new toy, an Aston Martin, with her daughters. Apparently that gift to herself was short lived because I read last week that the car was re-possesed for non-payment of attorney's fees. SMH.

Over at Cynthia and Peters' house NeNe, Cynthia's sister and some other close friends of the couple await their arrival so that Peter can surprise Cynthia with a marriage proposal. Peter gets on bended knee and asks his lovely lady for her hand in marriage and Cynthia seemed more interested in where the ring came from than anything. I hope things work out between these two but I'm not holding my breath and I hope Peter isn't either. Kudos to NeNe for showing up and helping Peter surprise his bride to be despite the personal drama that she and Greg are experiencing. Later on when Cynthia, her sister and mom go dress shopping it was the most depressing scene of bridal dress shopping I've ever witnessed. It was like she was shopping for a dress to wear to a funeral. And why does Cynthia's sister always look so sad? Get happy people- she's getting married!!!

Kandi is in the studio working with Lawrence, who surprisingly, sounds like a completely different person when he sings. Apparently Kim has shared her discontent with Lawrence about her unfinished new song, "The ring don't mean a thing". Kandi is pissed and ready to tell Kim to move on. Really Kim?!? Three words- YOU- CAN'T- SING! The fact that Kandi is even dealing with you makes her a saint so how dare you talk shit!

Sheree is participating in "Dancing with the Stars in Atlanta" for charity. Sheree can't dance AT ALL! Enough said on that.

Now let's talk about Phaedra, who is fast becoming my reason for watching the show because she is so damn ridiculous! She's preparing for the birth of her baby while I hope acting completely clueless about the idea of that human beings can actually do such a thing. When her friend explains to her how she's supposed to care for the baby after he gets circumcised she is overwhelmed by the prospect of having to buy and put the "penis ointment" on the baby. Really Phaedra? Penis Ointment? Then she shares that her baby is gonna be good and country. That baby is gonna get his first taste of his mama's southern charm by receiving a 50 cent piece and not for his piggy bank- but for his belly button. You heard me right- instead of alcohol she's going to put some money on the baby to make sure his belly button doesn't poke out. An old wives tale that she is happy to follow-ugghhh.

Next week we can finally put to rest the "how many months is Phaedra" mystery. Gotta give it to this girl for sticking to her lie about being 6-7 months. And we finally say good riddens to the fake Dr. Tiy-E!

Until next week...

RHOA- Pickles, Candy Yams and Sugar?

2010-11-02T09:31:00.000-07:00

Ok- so we're going to jump right in and start with Phaedra, Apollo and pickles. I'm all for taking pregnancy pics and documenting that special time but sucking on a pickle at the same time with your ex-con husband in a seductive way looks CRAZY!!!! Just sayin.
More after the jump...
Meanwhile, Sheree and Dr. Tiy-E continue their awkward romance. One word- YUCK!!!! For someone who says that he's a relationship expert and claims to know what it takes for a "woman to capture a man" he has zero swagger and he's just creepy! What exactly was he trying to prove by having Sheree lick cookie dough off his finger- IIILLLKKKK!! And then enticing her to unbutton his shirt so that he could show off his pasty, gross chest. Granted he doesn't have a pot belly and looks like he's in relatively decent shape but why are you undressing at the dinner table? Can we finish eating before you take your clothes off Dr. Tiy-E?! Ugghhh.

NeNe seems very pleased with her new nose, boobs and stomach. Unfortunately things with her and Greg are really shaky. I really want to know why Greg would borrow $500 dollars from Dwight. It is puzzling. I mean $500 isn't a great deal of money so why wouldn't he, at the very least, first ask NeNe if she had it and/or tell her that he was going to ask Dwight for the money? Hmmmm- somethings not right about that whole money borrowing thing so I totally understand NeNe feeling betrayed by him.

Cynthia has a Mother's Day brunch for the ladies and their kids. During the meal, the conversation turns to Phaedra's due date and she seems uncertain about how many months she is and when she'll be giving birth. Looking at her I thought for sure she was ready to pop but she said she was 5 or 6 months. What- with twins? And who the hell doesn't know when their baby is due?! Phaedra is such a cartoon character you can't help but shake your head at her foolishness.

Kandi added some touching moments during the episode while talking with Riley about her absentee Dad. She's such a sweet little girl and is very unapologetic and certain about not wanting to be bothered with her dad. Kandi understands but still wants Riley to have that father figure. She talks to her mom about it and Kandi's mother simply says "take care of your kids"! Enough said.

Kandi also has a racy sex based web show and she shared some tips with the ladies about how to keep things fun and exciting in the boudoir. Apparently pop-rocks and sugar can be helpful to couples when performing certain acts. Watch the episode for further instruction- lol.

Until next week...

Dancing with the Stars- "Rock Week"

2010-10-26T15:14:00.000-07:00

Last night our stars rocked-out on the dance floor. I'm growing tired of these 2-hour shows so all I can say is thank God for the creator of the DVR!

Let's get started. More after the jump...

First up is Audrina and Tony. I think we're finally seeing some semblance of a personality from little Audrina and I like it! Len and Brunno didn't see the intensity in her but I didn't agree. Carrie-Ann kept Audrina from crying and said the same thing as Brunno and Len but in a nicer way.
24

Kyle and Lacey dance the Tango. Kyle is just fun to watch. The judges liked it.
23

Jennifer and Derek. Jennifer is such a drama queen- it's just annoying. But drama aside these two are definitely the ones to beat. In the end Jennifer looked like she was ready to just fall on the floor but it was good. Carrie-Ann hated it. Len felt it was out of control. Brunno also felt like it was unbalanced and needed to be toned down. I clearly don't know anything about professional dancing.
20

Rick and Cheryl Tango. Rick Fox is really good. He's just so gigantic I'm impressed by the fact that he doesn't look like a big goof- ex. Chad Ochocinco. The judges loved it.
24

Bristol and Mark dance the Tango. Well I hate to admit this but I actually think Bristol gets the award for the most improved. Bristol and Mark have some sort of chemistry. She let loose and looked like she was having fun. The judges liked it.
23

Kurt and Anna dance a Paso Double. I just don't like Kurt. I can't put my finger on it but he's just dull and boring to me. It was an okay performance. Carrie-Ann hated it. Len hated it. Brunno hated it.
18

Brandy and Maks. Bobble-head, whiny Brandy is just too much. She just takes this way to seriously. It was okay and overly dramatic- no surprise there. Len said it was the dance of the night. Brunno loved it. Carrie-Ann had goose bumps. If this girl doesn't win this competition she may hurt herself.
26

The last two couples standing during the dance marathon are Brandy and Maks. It looks like these two are the ones to beat!

Look below for the next two that will dance all the way home...

Buh-bye stiff Kurt Warner.

RHOA- "Are you Boughetto?"

2010-10-26T13:31:00.000-07:00

This group of "Housewives" is so chock full of funny messes I don't even know where to begin.
But let's start with the facinating mess that is Phaedra.
More after the jump...
The queen of the southern belles and her bestie Dwight, the other queen of the southern belles go to the horse races with Cynthia and her fiance Peter. In the car ride Phaedra voices her extreme disdain for men with baggage and "baby-mama's". She explains that she picked Apollo, because he was "clean" and without children. Is she crazy?!? Hello fool! Apollo is an ex-con and I think that makes him just a tad bit dirty with his own set of baggage. Pullleeeaze! Cynthia has to practically hold Peter back from slapping the cowboy
-hit outta Miss Phaedra because he has five children, not sure how many baby-mama's, but I guess he qualifies as filthy dirty if you're going by the standards of a true southern belle- aka Phaedra- aka FOOL! GTFOH. Seriously- I mean it! Phaedra makes me cuss.

Then we're in for a real treat at her baby shower which Kandi very appropriately pens "Boughetto". That's honestly the best description for the over the top mess that was Phaedra's shower. From the make-up, to the dancers, to the guests getting escorted to their tables, to the pregnant lady's first dance with Dwight, to the hats- UGHHHHHH!!!! Kim finally made some sense when she said "just open your gifts, eat your cake and call it a day".

Meanwhile, Nene gets a plastic surgery makeover. She has her boobs reduced, her tummy tucked and her nose adjusted from the first nose job. It's funny how Nene talked about Dwight's pinched nose but her nose is about two seconds from looking like Dwight's. Let's just hope that she's done with the "improvements".

Kim thinks she's ready for another hit single. Kandi is working on her own album but is willing help Kim make her next hit for a price. Enough of the freebies Kimmy- you will pay for the next hit sweetie.

We also get to meet the people that created the monster that is Kim. And let's just say that they are an interesting couple. They're very proud of Kim and her choice of men- Big Poppa. Apparently, BP and Kim are back together because they just can't live without each other- *side-eye*.

And finally we have Sheree and Dr. Tiy-E. For someone like Sheree who claims to have these high standards and will only date men that look a certain way I just don't get her choice of Dr. Tiy-E- just sayin. But to each his own.We know that these two are NOT a match made in heaven and won't last so I'll say no more.

Until next week...

Dancing with the Stars- "Acoustic Week"

2010-10-12T09:39:00.000-07:00

The stars are dwindling and tonight our stars will be double scored and judged for both their technique and performance. The stage is round and raised and the audience will be closer. The highest score that can be received tonight is 60.

Let's get started...

More after the jump

Kurt and Anna dance a sexy Rhumba and once he gets the seal of approval from his wife to dance this intimate dance hopefully things will turn out well. Kurt did really well. He's definitely improving as time goes on. Overall the judges loved it.
Total- 34

Brandy and Maks. Brandy is beyond annoying! Maks took her out to channel her "inner-sexy" and Brandy had something to say about his effort. I really hope she goes home this week. The dance was good- just because of Maks- she was doing weird stuff with her hands and arms. The judges liked it overall. Brandy is taking this thing a little too seriously and starts to tear up when the judges tell her how much they liked it.
48

Rick and Cheryl. I just love Rick Fox. I thought it was fantastic. Carrie-Ann said that she felt that they were very aware of the small stage- I agree because he's so long he looked worried that he was going to throw Cheryl off into the audience. The judges felt like it was an okay performance overall.
39

Kyle and Lacey. Ok, let's start with the HORRIBLE acoustic version of "Beautiful Girls". The band is so bad! Horrific band performance aside- it was a very sexy dance performance. The judges felt like it was too staccato.
40

Situation and Karina. What has Karina done to her lips? She's looking very Lisa Rinna- not good! It starts off shaky with Mike picking up Karina like she's a barbell. His foot-work had me laughing- sorry Mike. Bruno said it was a terrible mess. Carrie-Ann said he has improved. Len said it was consistently bad. He just can't dance.
28- YIKES!

Florence and Corky. Florence is just so cute. The dance was kind of overly dramatic and the sexy stuff was more yucky than sexy. I hated it. The judges were overall confused by the performance.
35

Jennifer and Derek. Jennifer just annoys me. She has various ailments but she comes off whiny. But personality aside Jennifer is a really good dancer. She has great lines and you can tell that she has a dance background. It was fun to watch. The judges loved it!
56!

Bristol and Mark. Bristol keeps saying that she's not sexy so I'm not sure how this is gonna turn out. Well it's safe to say that she did find her inner diva and the sexy Bristol came out. Her hands looked awkward a few times but overall it was good. The judges want her to be more intense. I agree.
32

Audrina and Tony. Audrina is shrinking as the weeks go by. She must be a size triple zero at this point. The performance was okay. Audrina's needed to pay better attention to her hands and feet. The judges liked it overall.
46

I think Mike has danced his last dance.

Buh-bye Situation.

Who do you think should go home?

Dancing with the Stars- "It's story week"

2010-10-04T19:34:00.000-07:00

Tonight our stars are going to tell a story through dance. Last week Mr. Michael "cry-baby" Bolton was deservedly sent home. Who's next?

Let's get started. More after the jump...
Jennifer and Derek dance a really nice Samba. "Baby" can really dance. I think these two will be the ones to beat. The judges liked it.
24

Florence and Corky dance a waltz. It seemed like they were dancing in slow motion but it was nice. The judges described it as "sweet" several times.
20

Kurt and Anna dance the fox-trot. Kurt tries really hard but he's just soooo long. His arms are endless and he just looks big and goofy.
I have no idea how or why they got a 23.

Margaret and Louis dance a very colorful Samba. Awwww Margaret. She get an A for effort but she was all over the place and off beat many times throughout the dance. At least she had fun. The judges hated it.
18

Audrina and Tony dance the Waltz. The one reason why I think these two do so well each week is because they have great chemistry on the dance floor. Nice job. On a side-note I think Audrina got her lips done. It's amazing how different she looks from the original Laguna Beach.
26. The judges loved it.

Bristol and Mark dance the fox-trot. I just wish this girl wasn't related to Sarah Palin because she seems so sweet and innocent. I can't get past the fact that she's one of Sarah's litter- sorry. The judges didn't really like it. I agree.
19.

Brandy and Maks. Well someone spoke to Brandy about throwing Maks under the bus last week. She tries to redeem herself and promises to shut-up and let Maks teach her without all the lip-service. They dance the samba. It was really good. I'm not sure what story they told but it was good. The judges liked it.
24

Kyle and Lacey dance the Waltz. This is the first week that I wasn't really wowed by Kyle. The judges liked everything but his footwork.
23

Mike and Karina dance the foxtrot. Mike has consistently been at the bottom so they really need to improve or he may be going home. It was much better BUT he's just awful. He's stiff and awkward. Len said it was bizarre.
20

Rick and Cheryl damce a very sexy Samba. Rick is so sweet and tries so hard and tonight his efforts paid off.
24

So who is going home this week?

Buh-bye Margaret Cho.

Until next week...

Dancing with the Stars- "Put on your fast dancing shoes"

2010-09-27T19:17:00.000-07:00

So the Hoff is gone, thank God, and tonight we'll separate the real bad dancers from the really bad dancers.
More after the jump...

First up is Rick and Cheryl dancing the Jive. Despite Rick's injured foot they did a great job. I can definitely see potential in Rick. Len loved it. Carrie-Ann thought last week was better and Bruno liked it.
21

Florence and Corky dance the Quickstep. Florence is 76 years old and I think she looked really good. The younger contestants need to watch out. The judges were impressed by her performance. She did really well.
19

Brandy and Maks dance the Jive. Brandy is a whiny complainer. She's like this season's Kate Gosselin with the complaining. She can't straighten her legs and it was bad to me. The judges hated it and Brandy threw Maks under the bus. She may have danced her last dance and I think Maks hates her.
21

Michael and Chelsie dance the Jive. I think he's the sterotypical white guy with no rhythm. I feel bad for him because he really wants to do well and the performance was just painful. The judges were polite but they hated it. Awwww- Michael Bolton don't you cry..
12

Audrina and Tony do the Quickstep. Well it's nice to see the Audrina actually has a personality and she has Dancing with the Stars to thank for that. Nice job with the dance and she has the perfect body for the costumes. Congratulations to all you MTV "The Hills" lovers- Audrina is here to stay. The judges liked tonights performance.
23

Jennifer and Derek dance the Jive. So Dancing with the Stars saved her life- who knew. She had a routine physical to see if she could compete and they found cancer in her spine. She's cancer free and did a great Jive. The judges said she was fabulous. I predict that these two will win the entire thing.
24

Uggghhh- Tom decided to talk to Sarah Palin in between the performances. I CAN'T STAND THIS LADY!!!! I also think that it's unfair to take time and talk to her. The judges haven't talked to anyone else's family and this will definitely affect the voting and give Bristol unfair advantage in my opinion. We're now bringing politics onto the dance floor. ANNOYING!

Margaret and Louis dance the Jive. It was cute. Margaret really looked like she was having fun. The judges loved it.
18- The scoring should have been better.

Kyle and Lacey dance the Quickstep. Kyle is a really good dancer. He has great energy and is a natural. The judges liked it.
22

Kurt and Anna dance the Jive. He bores me but it was okay. The judges liked it.
21

Mike and Karina dance the Quickstep. I'm scared. Well he gets an A for effort. It was much better than last week. Len said it was better than last week. Carrie and Bruno didn't like it.

Bristol and Mark dance the Quickstep. Bristol was better last week. Mark is really touchy feely with her. Maybe there will be a romance with these two. I wouldn't be surprised. The judges are way to nice to her.
22

Goodbye Michael Bolton.

Who would you send home?

Dancing with the Stars- "Dancing with the Stars?"

2010-09-20T19:21:00.000-07:00

So we're back for season 11 and I think it's time for a name change because most of the people on this show are NOT stars. Audrina, Mike aka "The Situation, Bristol Palin? Pullleeeezzzeee!

This a two-hour show so let's get started. More after the jump...
First we have Audrina and Tony. Audrina has zero personality and doesn't look like she can dance but maybe Tony will bring out something special? They dance the Cha-Cha and it was okay. Audrina wasn't as bad as I thought she would be. A little stiff but okay. The judges liked it. I say they don't stand a chance.
19.

Kurt Warner and Anna. In rehearsal he looks horrible so my expectations are low. They dance the Waltz and it wasn't too bad for the first dance. He was stiff and looked very nervous. Bruno and Carrie-Ann liked it- Len hated it. I see potential.
Another 19.

Kyle Massey and Lacey. These two have a great connection and Lacey has blond hair and lip injections. Well Kyle is really light on his feet and has great energy. Energetic and surprising performance. Carrie-Ann loved it! Len liked it. Bruno loved it.
23.

Rick Fox and Cheryl. Well Rick is extremely handsome and for such a long person he didn't look goofy like I expected. His boo Eliza Dushka was in the audience watching her man closely and with good reason because I think Rick and Cheryl make a great couple. Carrie-Ann was gushing and the camera cut to Eliza who looked none too pleased. The judges liked the performance.
22.

Margaret Cho and Louis. They danced a really cute and funny Waltz. Bruno hated it. Carrie-Ann thought it was over the top. Len didn't like the comedy act. Get a sense of humor people.
Margaret may be in trouble.
15.

Brandy and Maksim. In rehearsal Brandy was a whiner. The performance was okay. The judges loved it. Brandy seems a bit desperate to be accepted. She's also annoyingly over dramatic. Brandy if you keep acting like this no-one is gonna like you.
23.

Bristol Palin and Mark. Bristol looks like she can't dance. She just may be the Kate Gosselin of season 11. They dance the Cha-cha. Okay- she's a lot better than dreaded Kate. Mark definitely pushed her along. The judges handled her with kid gloves and kinda fawned over her. It was a good first performance but let's not get ridiculous.
18.

Florence Henderson and Corky. She's very funny that's for sure. And she has a decent body for an older woman. She was good. The judges liked it for the most part.
18.

Michael Bolton and Chelsie. They dance the Waltz and Michael looks like a mannequin. I think I've said enough- ugghhh.
16.

Mike (The Situation) and Karina. He's a fool and kinda doofy. Rehearsals look horrific so I'm scared. Overall it wasn't bad. He'll be on for a minute just because people like him. His cockiness was off-putting to the judges.
15.

Jennifer Grey and Derek. "Nobody puts Baby in the corner" but Baby cries when she finds out that they are dancing to a song from Dirty Dancing. She was hysterical and overly dramatic with the emotion. I understand that she was thinking about Patrick Swazye but... Anyway, they dance the waltz and it was good- not outstanding- but good. Ugghhh- Carrie-Ann cries, Bruno and Len liked it.
24.

And they saved the best for last David Hasselhoff and Kim. What a complete train wreck that I'm expecting this to be. He talks about himsself in the 3rd person in the opening taped piece so I'm sure this is going to be horrific. One word- Frightened. Here are some additonal words that I'll use to describe the performance- old, creepy, weird, yucky and smelly. He looks like his breath stinks- haaaaa. The judges comments were funny. Horrible.
15.

My guess for the first dancing fool to go home is David Hasselhoff.

Until tomorrow...

La-La's Full Court Press- "When we get married"

2010-09-20T10:11:00.000-07:00

La-La Vasquez, former MTV DJ and Kim K's bestie is finally tying the knot with her long-time fiancee Carmelo Anthony. After seven years together, a five year engagement and a baby, many have wondered what has taken them so long but they are now finally going to make it official- on their own terms. More after the jump...
The planning begins with wedding planner to the stars Mindy Weiss. They're having a huge wedding with lots of celebrity guests and the more financial resources that you have to plan a wedding the more problems you can have. In the immortal words of Biggie Smalls, "more money, more problems".

La-La's mother comes to town to share this important time with her daughter and also go dress shopping. Although La-La already has a custom made Vera Wang gown ready to go she continues to try on more dresses just to share the experience with her mother. This is going to end in disaster because if you already have a dress why would you risk trying on more dresses and possibly liking another dress more then the one you've already purchased? Of course, she ends up falling in love with a pink gown and this is the beginning of the first of many wedding emergency's that she's bound to run into.

When talking with her mom about the pending nuptials La-La shares that she's concerned because she and Carmelo have been doing so well as a unmarried couple for this long why change things. But she also knows that she and Carmelo have built a great foundation and now is their time.

Later she has lunch with one of her best friends, Tyrese Gibson. Over lunch the conversation turns serious and Tyrese asks La-La if she's ready to be a wife and why is she not hanging out with more married women to learn from example. He brings up a good point but if most of your closest girlfriends are single then what are you supposed to do? And speaking of advice - what does Tyrese know about being married? But that's one of her best buds and he's entitled to his opinion. You know what they say about opinions...

La-La decides that she wants to have the "who's walking me down the isle" conversation with her mom. Her parents were divorced when she was young but she has a good relationship with her Dad. Her mom has been the primary parent for years and feels like La-La's dad now wants to get the glory and privilege of walking their daughter down the aisle despite the fact that he hasn't put in the same amount of parenting that she has. La-La loves her dad and wants him to walk her down the aisle but she doesn't want to hurt her mother's feelings.

So many decisions before the big day. What's a girl to do?

Until next week...

Fantasia for Real (Season 2)- "Starting Over"

2010-09-20T06:53:00.000-07:00

Fantasia Barrino is back for second season. Some of her recent dramas have been heavily covered and dissected by both the blogsphere and the mainstream media. The following is an equation of what happens when certain areas of your private life become public: Antwan Cook (married man)+Fantasia+media scrutiny= I'm going to attempt to kill myself. Attempt being the operative word here because overdosing on aspirin and sleeping pills won't kill you but it will make you really sleepy and also makes for great episode of your reality tv show. Sad but true. More after the jump...
This episode starts with Fantasia cleaning house quite literally. In an effort to gain control of her life and finances Fantasia starts by getting rid of the excess. Many of Fantasia's problems stem from her being the main breadwinner and the go to guy for everyone in her family. Mom and Teeny get their own addresses and Fantasia is now able to take charge of her life and her house- on her own terms.

Aunt Bunny comes for a visit to address the homewrecking issues that have been all over the internet and in the tabloids. Fantasia's mom and aunt decide that it's best to talk to her together and decide to stage an intervention of sorts to discuss all the rumors. Fantasia claims that Antwan is separated, that they are just friends and because she knows what home wrecking can to do to a family first hand, she would never get caught up in that type of situation. Of course they don't believe her and neither do I. We won't get anymore insight into the issue, on this episode, because Fanny isn't ready to talk about it. It's complicated. But Aunt Bunny makes it known, in no uncertain terms, that they do not condone her behavior.

Fantasia is preparing for the release of her new album and there are big expectations for this records success. With her sights set on becoming an icon, getting another Grammy and achieving her former superstar status- she has to attain a strong fan base overseas. London is her first stop in gaining international success. She's nervous about how she'll be received, but as soon as she hits the stage and does the "Fantasia thing", you know- jumping around, kicking her shoes off, sweating- a lot- she's in her element and London loves her.

Things are looking up for Fantasia, as far as her career is concerned. Will her personal affairs and personal drama derail the goals that she has set for herself?

Only time will tell.

Until next week...

Keeping up with the Kardashians- "Get outta my house"

2010-08-23T06:45:00.000-07:00

So the Kardashian clan is back and they are bigger, better and clearly on the come up. Kim has purchased a fabulous new home and she wants to keep the new pad clean, spotless and company free. Entertaining is not a priority for her because she would rather not have people dirty her new white carpet or spill red wine on her new pillows. Kris has other ideas for her daughters new place and throws a huge housewarming party where Kim spends the entire night obsessing over the mess that her guests create in her new pristine pad. Bruce encourages her to enjoy herself and get the cleaning crew to come over in the morning and clean the mess. More after the jump...

Meanwhile, Kourtney has temporarily moved in with Khloe and Lamar while Scott works out his issues. The arrangement doesn't last long because Khloe refuses to allow Scott anywhere near the house. Kourt still allows Scott to see Mason while he works on himself but Scott cannot pass the gates of "Casa de Odom" and despite her love for her sister Khloe is not budging on the Scott Disnick ban.

I agree with Khloe about Scott but I am surprised about how tough she's being with her sister. On the other hand Kourtney has been way too forgiving with Scott and his nonsense and everybody seems to have grown really tired of the situation. Sometimes tough love is the only way to go even if it means making your sister and her baby find a new place to live.

Don't worry though, Kourt and baby Mason won't be homeless for long. The single mom changes residence and goes to Kim's house. I predict that that arrangement will also be short-lived because Kim doesn't want adults in her space so babies, and the mess that comes with them, are definitely out of the question even if the baby is her nephew.

Good luck with that Kourtney.

Until next week...

Bad Girls Club Miami- "For real- LEAVE!"

2010-08-11T09:34:00.000-07:00

Morgan gets gone and the house breaks into the usual "Bad Girl" chaos. Screaming, yelling and overall "crazy" breaks out. Morgan actually stood a chance until she decides to do something really unnecessary and stupid. She goes into the production room, that's in the house, and decides to start breaking equipment and that's when she gets handled and told to leave.
More after the jump...
Of course Morgan and her now defunct team- Catya and Kristen- think that team "The Other Girls" wanted Morgan out because she's so "beautiful" and "pretty". Uh-NOOOO dummies, and NO Morgan- your stuff was packed up for you because you're beyond annoying, obnoxious, shallow, clueless and most importantly a shit disturber for no good reason. Morgan, you created what is now a divided house and team "The Other Girls" weren't having your shenanigans and good for them. There will be no further talk of Morgan in the post.

Moving on. It's birthday celebration time and Kristen, whose birthday was two days before moving into the house feels slighted because she didn't get a grand celebration- huh? Lea, who also has a born date to celebrate wanted to have a joint celebration but Kristen doesn't agree and has a few choice words- stupid and whore are a couple- for Lea. This of course doesn't go over well with Lea and the gloves come out- yet again.

I don't think Kristen meant to call Lea the "w" word. But what's a girl to do when she just wants to celebrate her special day with a special c--- cake and no-one wants to join her? Wouldn't you flip out too? Yikes.

The girls go to the club and things seem to be going well until a Bad-Girl hater decides to start a fight with Lea to prove that she's badder than the actual "Bad-Girls". Everyone except Danielle and Erica join in the brawl and this doesn't sit well with Brandi, aka Venus, aka the house drama queen. She expresses her disgust loudly!

Danielle is the first girl in the house to "hook up". The lucky guy is John and there special meeting place was on the street. Ahhh- young love. The twist to this story is that Danielle actually wants to be with John's friend Zach. Who says you can't hook up with two guys that are friends? Uh- no one, and she and makes good on her promise and hooks up lucky guy #2, Zach, the next night. Which leads to the next blow-up by Brandi and this time I'm on her side.

All the girls except Danielle and Erica, who are entertaining Zach and some of his friends at the house, are in relax mode which means make-up off, head-scarf/satin cap on! Now here's where I'll interject a little personal information. Anyone who knows me knows that I too, have a night-time uniform which includes, sweats, socks and head-scarf. In the winter, a hoodie is included in the mix and in the summer I have a couple LNA- v-neck tees, that round out said uniform. It may not be pretty but it's comfortable, warm and the scarf protects my hair from breakage- period. Well, Erica's friend Jeff sees Brandi, who looks a little different in her nighttime uniform and decides that he wants to make a rude, out of pocket comment on her appearance. NOOOOOOO Jeff! Stop judging, shut-up and be a polite quiet guest- dummy! Of course Brandi flips.

Sorry Erica, I'm siding with the Brandi the drama queen. Check your friend!

Later that night the girls hit another club and Brandi, aka Venus, the professional stripper shows her talent on the stripper pole and scoops up her dough. Erica decides to shake her yucky butt and collect her cash as well. In the limo ride home, Erica shares with the girls how she plans to use her new found fortune- groceries! And this is where we learn about Stripper rule #43: If two girls are sharing the stage during a performance the money that is collected gets shared and split in half. This is news to everybody except Brandi because she's got the inside scoop on stripper etiquette. Brandi/Venus looses it- YET AGAIN- and everybody is officially over it.

Brandi, stop it or you'll be the next one to have her stuff packed and waiting for you at door!

Until next week...

Bad Girls Miami- "I know it's our first day here but Imma whip your (bleep)..."

2010-08-05T12:09:00.000-07:00

A new group of Bad Girls is back and this time they're wreaking havoc all over Miami. Our new group of crazies are Morgan from Florida, Lea from Florida, Danielle from NY, Catya from Philadelphia, Brandi from Cali and Erica from Cali.

I immediately see problems brewing with Morgan. She exclaims immediately and very loudly, that she is the prettiest one in the house and that the others are just not up to her standards. She gets on the phone with friends and complains about not wanting to be in the house and hating the girls that she just met 5 minutes ago. Morgan, stop being ridiculous and why are you here?!! This obviously doesn't sit well with the other girls and she instantly becomes the most hated one in the house.
More after the jump...
Kristen from Boston who had the misfortune of being the last one to arrive at the house and the misfortune of also being the only blonde comes into the lion's den with an unusally positive attitude for a bad girl. But I, much like her roomates, grossly mis-judged blonde barbie Kristen. Upon first glance, she's extra bubbly, seems a bit air-headed and the perfect weak target to pick on- WRONG!!! Erica tests this theory and immediately goes in on Kristen and within 30 seconds of meeting the chick declares that she doesn't like her because her voice is annoying and she's blonde. Kristen, at first, entertains Erica's obvious bullying and foolishness and then POW- flips the script and throws champagne in her face and throws the empty glass to the floor. This leads me to positive lesson #1 from a "Bad Girl"- when confronted with an insecure bully pull out your best "crazy" and watch said bully make a complete about face and change her mind about messing you. Bravo Kristen! This act of aggression immediately gives her bad-girl credibility and the other roomies decide to focus on another target.

Separation and clicks immediately form in the house. On one side you have "Team Morgan" which consists of Morgan, Catya and Kristen. And on the opposite side you have Team- "We hate Morgan" which consists of everybody else.

When Team Morgan aka "the pretty girls" go out to club "BED" the other girls decide that it's time for Morgan to leave the house whether she wants to or not. They pack up her stuff and leave it outside on the steps.

Team Morgan gets back from the club and the when they approach the steps Morgan sees that it's her stuff that's been thrown outside. She's pissed!

Things are about to get ugly really quick and this group has only been together for 48hrs- yikes!

Does Morgan deserve to be taken down? Who's gonna throw the first punch?

Until next week..

The Rachel Zoe Project- "Tay it isn't so!"

2010-08-04T14:35:00.000-07:00

Fashion stylist to the stars, Rachel Zoe, is back for another season of red-carpet catastrophe's and drama filled breakdowns. The gang is all here minus the person that was once her backbone, right-hand woman and blessed jewel (the last description came straight from Rachel). More after the jump...
Taylor aka "Tay" gets the axe via Rodger, Rachel's husband, over stealing merchandise (or forgetting to return it) and possibly messing with the company's money. I'm actually feeling a bit conflicted over the demon's departure. Taylor's nasty attitude, constant complaining and daily verbal assaults of Brad made for fantastic tv! This is of course good news for Brad as he gets promoted to Style Director. And so the search begins for a new, happy and less drama filled member of Team Zoe.

This 2nd season premiere is spent mostlywith Rachel, Rodger and Brad bashing Taylor. Tay obviously didn't show up in the episode to defend herself so who actually knows what really went down. According to Rodger, Taylor had nothing to say about what she was accused of when confronted and "doesn't care about Rachel or her business". Rachel really wants closure but, unsurprisingly, Taylor has no desire to reach out to her.

Alas, life goes on and there are stars to dress which leaves little time to mourn Taylor's dismissal. Brad's first assignment is to pull outfits for a Bazaar magazine shoot with major Hollywood player, Demi Moore, who also happened to be Taylor's client. Brad and Rachel have to literally knock this one out of the park.

Nervous Nelly Brad and overly dramatic Rachel make it through the shoot successfully. The cover shot with Demi, a giraffe and a Alexander McQueen dress was a real "moment"! You gotta imagine Rachel saying that-lol!

Things have clearly changed around the Zoe camp now that the ice-princess (Taylor) is gone. I want closure just as bad as Rachel and hope that there's some sort of confrontation between these two frenimies before the end of the season! After all there are two sides to every story and I want to hear from Taylor. Don't you?

Until next week...

Kourtney & Khloe take Miami- "He'll never change"

2010-08-02T06:56:00.000-07:00

Scott is still on the trifling train and it's reached epic proportions tonight. When Kim and Kourtney come home with Mason after hanging out with a friend, they walk into a condo that smells of weed and beer. When Kourtney tries to wake him from his drunken stupor to ask him what went on while they were out, he grabs her, she slaps him and then he goes into the bathroom and punches a mirror. Kim, Kourtney and baby Mason immediately leave the apartment and go back to the safety of a friends place.
More after the jump...
The next day when they return to the condo it looks a mess. Kourtney, the sister that never cries or breaks, finally does. She sees that enough is enough and tells Scott that she loves Mason more than she loves him and unless he goes to rehab and stops drinking their relationship is over.

Her firm stance doesn't seem to last very long because in the next scene she calls Scott to ask him how is hand is doing. He tells her that he has to have surgery and the next day she's off and running to the hospital to be by his side. Kim insists on going with her to the hospital and while in the car tries to talk some sense into her. Kourtney tells Kim that Scott has no-one that she has to make sure that he survives the surgery- because he is Mason's father. Kim is the voice of reason and tells her older sister that she needs to let Scott go and stop continuing to go back because he will never change if she doesn't stand her ground.

Kourtney actually listens to Kim and turns around to go back home. Scott, the master manipulator that he is, calls Kourtney and has the audacity to try to make her feel guilty. Although she's feeling badly about the prospect of raising Mason alone, even though when you're a Kardashian you're never alone, she understands that this is something that she may have to do for herself and her son.

The good news part of this rather serious episode is that next week Khloe is returning to Miami. She has never been a fan of Scott's and although she may still harbor some anger with Kourtney about the way she left, blood is thicker than water and after this mess Scott doesn't stand a chance.

Do you think Kourt will go back to her baby's daddy?

Until next week...

Khloe & Kourtney take Miami- "Scott on the Rocks"

2010-07-25T19:56:00.000-07:00

This week we have another episode without our favorite Kardashian sister- Khloe. I guess she's still at home in LA with hubby Lamar. Alas, we're stuck again with sister Kimmy as sloppy seconds- lol! And on a side note Kim is looking more and more like her Madame Tussaud wax figure. She has definitely had way too much plastic surgery and it looks horrible- just sayin. Sorry Kimmy!
More after the jump...
Anyway, Scott is yet again up to his uncontrollable ways. He supposedly runs a club in Miami, which probably isn't the best occupation for a guy who drinks and parties way too much. Kourtney is in serious denial about his behavior and when Kim tries to tell her that he's a sorry excuse for a boyfriend and father Kourtney is furious and insists that everybody in the family just hates Scott for no reason.

Here's the reason Kourtney- Scott is a dirt-bag and a drunk! Take sweet baby Mason and run for your life. When two bottles of Kim's wine turn up missing she asks Kourtney to ask Scott if he knows anything about it. He firmly denies it and Kourtney stands by him. It's not until she finds the empty bottles on the roof top of their condo that reality sets in. Kourtney goes to Kim to tell her that she was right about the wine and also the fact that maybe Scott will never change and she may have to let him go for her own sanity but more importantly Mason's well being.

Do you find anything wrong with Scott's behavior or is okay for him to stay out until 6am every night and leave Kourtney to parent Mason alone?

Will Kourtney finally drop this loser?

Until next week...

Khloe and Kourtney take Miami- "Weighty Issues"

2010-07-12T04:42:00.000-07:00

In this episode, with my favorite Kardashian sister's, Khloe comes back from her visit with hubby Lamar with a renewed attitude and ready to commit to Dash and Miami.

Meanwhile Kourtney is feverishly working out to get bikini ready for "Life and Style" magazines after baby bikini cover shoot. She's put a huge amount of pressure on herself with the intentions of not having the cover photo shopped to give "real" pregnant women hope of being able to loose baby weight realistically. Khloe steps up to the plate and takes charge of the store and her nephew Mason.
More after the jump...
Kourtney is working out everyday and is taking the whole workout thing to another level and ends up passing out on the beach during a run. Here's the thing- Kourtney is the smallest Kardashian sister, not including the two teenagers Kendall and Kylie. Even after having the baby she looks amazing and is being ridiculous about being fat. But I get it - we all have a body image issues. Khloe comes to the rescue, again, and picks up her older sister from the back of an ambulance. Of the three sisters Khloe has the most sense and she's the youngest (between Kim and Kourtney). She tries to convince Kourtney to chill out and relax and embrace her new after baby body.

When Kourtney finds out the Khloe has taken the Dash girls out for a night on the town to reward herself and the girls for working so hard Kourtney lays into her really unnecessarily. You gotta give Khloe credit for interrupting her new cush life with her new husband to help her sister. We all know that Dash is Kourtney's baby and her main paycheck. Khloe could probably put her feet up, if she wanted, and live quite comfortably with her pro-ball playing husbands money. I applaud her for not doing that and standing by her sister. The sister's argue and Khloe packs her bags- rightfully so.

Kourtney needs to have a burger and fries and get off of Khloe's back. I get grumpy too when I'm hungry-lol! I'm totally on Khloe's side with this argument.

Do you think that Kourt has a little displaced anger and a case of hunger pains? Should Kourtney forgive her big sis and come back to Miami?

Until next week...

Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami- "Bedazzle and Bejazzle your lady parts"

2010-06-21T08:34:00.000-07:00

Khloe is excitedly anticipating the arrival of Lamar and in preparation the sisters do a little lingerie shopping. While trying on some sexy undergarments she discovers that it's time to do a little spring cleaning in the private area. Kourtney, who considers herself to be an expert "brazilian bikini" waxer, having waxed herself for years until going the laser route, happily volunteers to wax her baby sister's vaj. These girls take TMI and their sisterly bond to a whole other level!
More after the jump...
I personally appreciate the talented technicians that give "Brazilian bikini" waxes because the process is more evasive and personal than going to the gynecologist- yikes and shout out to Agnes at Bliss Soho- haaaa. The process is not for the faint of heart whether you're the waxee or waxer -let me tell you! That being said, NO WAY would I want to delve into my friends, cousins, sisters or otherwise- cat-trap and de-hair down there- NO WAY!

The waxing doesn't go very well and Khloe is left with a swollen "jina" and may make plans with Lamar kinda difficult. But what better way to heal then partying on a yacht- right? Kourtney's friends come for a visit and she's ready to let loose after a year of drying out. Champagne is popping and shots are flowing and Kourtney has a little too much fun. When she and Khloe get back home she pumps, Mason is still on breast milk, and finds that her milk has alcohol in it. Apparently they have test strips that nursing mother's can dip into their milk to see if it has any traces of alcohol- on those occasional nights out on the town- which by the way every mother deserves. I personally think the strips are a brilliant idea in helping to keep babies healthy when mom wants to indulge a little and let her hair down.

The next day Kourt, Scott and baby Mason take a family trip to the zoo which doesn't go well because she's feeling the effects of the prior nights partying. After seeing the photos that Scott took of her during the outing she decides that drinking and being a mommy don't mix- at least for her- so she's off the sauce for a minute. Whatever works for you Kourt.

Meanwhile Lamar arrives and Khloe is mortified to have to do a bit of show and tell of the burned jay-jay. Lamar doesn't care of course. Hairy, bald, burned- Lamar loves his Khloe no matter what! Ahhh- alas new love has no eyes and always remains full of hope and promise.

Let's toast to Lamar, Khloe and her burned va-jizil!

Until next time...

Kourtney and Khloe take Miami- "They're back.."

2010-06-21T04:27:00.000-07:00

The Kardashian's are back people and THEY'RE NEVER GOING AWAY- so get used to seeing their pretty little faces now until the end of time- lol.

Last we left Kourtney and Khloe they discussed returning to Miami to continue the growth of their clothing store "Dash" Miami. Life has obviously changed quite a bit for the sisters- Kourtney now has a baby and Khloe now has a husband. But this money making family won't let anything stop them from world domination so baby Mason and boyfriend Scott will join the sisters and Lamar will just have to settle with seeing his new bride when he can.

Khloe is not jazzed to be leaving Mr. Odom and when she arrives Scott gets right into her shyte about leaving all of the work of re-vamping Dash up to Kourtney. Scott shut up and get a real job! Why don't you help your baby mama with Dash since you have nothing better to do- I mean what does this guy really do for a living? He's like Tommy from "Martin" with the imaginary job! Of course when Khloe lays into him have it he all of a sudden has 6 jobs and plans to change the Miami club scene for the better- yeah right!

Kourtney takes Khloe out to cheer her up and Khloe gets wasted and has a hard time getting herself together for the photo shoot to promote the re-launch of Dash Miami. Dash is really Kourtney's bread and butter and her baby so she's more than annoyed that Khloe is hung over and not performing up to her standard during the shoot. Khloe is a damn newlywed and really has no business leaving her husband of 5 months and who she's only known for 4 months- (I'm exaggerating)- but really!

Khloe also has her own business venture to promote in Miami- her radio show, "Khloe After Dark". When she shows up late to her own radio show and gets scolded by her manager it's the wake-up call that she needs to get her head out her ass and focus. Khloe is not a slacker and pulls it together and surprises Kourtney by getting some flyers made to promote the re-launch of the store and goes out with some of the staff to hand them out on the beach. The beach promotion works and the store is packed with people and thus puts Khloe back in Kourtney's good graces.

This first ep of the second season was a little lack-luster but I'm sure the Kardashian sisters won't disappoint and will give the viewers the drama, the crazy and the shenanigans that we all look forward to when following this family.

Until next week...

RH of NY- Reunion pt. 1- "The first step to change is admitting that there is a problem"

2010-06-10T20:24:00.000-07:00

Let the games, tears and drama begin! I'm so excited for the this reunion and the fact that this is a three part performance.

Let's go...

The show starts with the clip of Alex being the new and improved Alex and I LOVE IT! Jill just sits there as Alex explains how everything came to a head between she and Jill. Jill and the followers, Kelly and Luann, roll their eyes and Jill just sits there looking smug but in reality she feels like a fool. I'm all for honesty and people speaking their minds and maybe that's why the women are split- the three fake, phony, weak women on one side - the three outspoken but honest, crazy but honest, will talk about you behind your back but will also own up to dishing to your face women- on the other side. The house is divided for sure.

One theme that ran throughout this reunion was Jill being jealous judgy (not a word) Jill! When confronted with who she really is Jill can't handle the truth. Now in her defense, as human beings none of us want to be confronted with the not so perfect things about ourselves but there comes a point in every one's life where, despite the embarrassment and disappointment that we may feel for our not so perfect behavior, we take a good hard look at what EVERYBODY is saying, and make the effort to change behavior's that can be changed. I'm not a psychologist, therapist or anything of the sort but what I'm suggesting is just commonsense stuff that certainly someone in their early 50's should understand and want to embrace. Jill is that old isn't she?

Ramona was questioned about her behavior and her many unfiltered comments throughout the season. When asked about the really mean and hurtful things she said when she and Bethenny crossed the Brooklyn Bridge together, she let us know that she apologized and if there was one thing she wished she could take back, that whole altercation was it. And she also admitted that everything else that she said to and behind the backs of the women were honestly things that she meant. I wish I could say that I disagree with her but I don't.

Kelly and Luann at various times, throughout part I of the reunion, tried to explain away Jill's bad behavior but to no avail. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck- guess what? It's a duck! Jill no amount of tears can change the public's perception of you. And more importantly, don't you want to truly be that changed person that you say you are?

Jill clearly wants to be in Bethenny's life because right now she's hot. Bethenny has the new husband, new baby, thriving career and her own show.

In a nutshell Jill's reason for having a problem with Bethenny boils down to one word - HATE!

How sad -because a true friend is happy for their friends successes and triumphs not envious or jealous.

Jill, you have a long way to go my friend.

Until next week...

RH of NY (season finale)- "It's a wrap" (Late post)

2010-06-10T17:59:00.000-07:00

Tonight is the final night of madness with the ladies of New York. We'll be tying up several loose ends and several loose friendships.

The episode starts with the friendship that is no more- Bethenny and Jill have broken up. Jill, of course, behaves like the wounded party and really believes that her evil, manipulative, self-centered and hateful behavior should just be forgiven. No Jill! That's no how life and the real world work. There's really nothing more to say on that subject.

Now let's talk about LuAnn's ridiculous singing debut. I don't know who's more of a fool LuAnn or her producer "Powder". That guy is gross and weird. LuAnn also debuts her new boyfriend Jacques. Jacques looks like a cross between Barry Manilow and Andy Garcia- ridiculous. I am glad to see that she got rid of creepy Cord.

Jill surprises Ramona in her hotel room before her wedding - but this time she wasn't sent packing. I'm happy to say that Ramona has really grown and I can really appreciate people getting things off their chest and then moving on. Take notes Jill Zarin! Holding a grudge is stupid and has subsequently caused you more harm and made you a loose a friend.

The ceremony is what you would expect from Ramona and Mario and Jill can't help herself and makes a snarky comment about the ladies being divided with Team Bethenny on one side and Team Jill on the other side of the room. Whatever Jill- guess what- you're right.

Bethenny shares a heartfelt moment with Ramona and Alex and thanks them for their friendship. It was nice to see that the three people that seemed the most unlikely to be friends ended up being the closest.

This season ended with few surprises. We know that Bethenny is moving on to her own show- where she's the star and Jennifer will be stepping in to join the drama when the ladies return next season.

So I bid farewell to the ladies of NY. It's been a fantastic drama filled season and I expect the reunion to be equally explosive!

RH of NY- "Surprise!!!"

2010-06-01T18:02:00.000-07:00

Well "Crazy Kelly" left the island but not without leaving the ladies feeling pretty damaged and disturbed. The sadness and melancholy doesn't last for long because say it loud- CRAZY HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!!!!
More after the jump...

The real purpose of the trip finally begins and the ladies are chillin, getting mani's and pedi's and sharing the love when in walks Crazy's bff Psycho aka Jill Zarin! WTF! Alex looks like she's seen a ghost, Ramona starts crying, Sonja is just like enough already and Bethanny has no words. I mean Jill why are you here really? She is the ultimate Shit-disturber. You just show up and expect people to lay out the red carpet? You self-centered, obnoxious moron! Go away!!!! Now you want to make amends because you're ready Jill Zarin? NOOOOO!

Jill leaves and when Ramona goes out to try to make Jill feel less like the idiot that she is Jill again crumbles into schlubby Bobby's arms and acts like was wronged. She's sick and twisted and I will forever LOVE Ramona for kicking PSYCHO to the curb. Here's my middle finger Jill! LOL!

So we're left with the four women and things are, for a change, refreshing and carefree as they should be when you're vacationing on a Caribbean island! Sonia and Alex throw a shared bridal shower for Bethanny and Ramona with plenty of saucy gifts- pearl handcuffs for example. Just lots of good old-fashioned fun with the girls.

Back in NY, Jill and her three losers have lunch and rehash with Kelly why she went crazy. Kelly lies about what happened to make herself look less crazy. I hate Kelly, Luann, Jill and new girl- Jennifer- you're on your way to joining Pam's hate train- haaaa. But just when I think I'm gonna burst with disgust over this ridiculous conversation something interesting happens. Jill, Countless and Jennifer slowly but surely see Crazy Kelly for the Crazy crazy that she is. She's talking circles and making absolutely no sense at all which leads the women to believe that Kelly may be problematic after-all.

Later that evening at Sonja's art party Countless and Jennifer get the real story about the St. John's trip and Kelly's story is slowly but surely falling apart.

Jill has her ice-skating soiree and she discusses the situation the Bethanny situation with her sister. She misses her- awwww. Whatever! I'll tell yoou what Jill misses- she misses being involved in Bethanny's new and exciting life of pending marriage and birth. Stop the BS Jill! She calls her and asks if she wants to meet and have lunch. And Bethanny being a normal human being actually accepts. Bethenny is clearly a better woman then me. Ramona shows up and Kelly confronts her and acts like she was attacked while on the island. Ramona calms her down and just refuses to jump on that Crazy train- kudos Ramona. Jill then confronts Ramona and I must say Ramona has really changed- she talked calmly and explained to Psycho Jill where she went wrong with just popping up in St. John- as if it needed explaining. They hug and kiss and peace abounds- until the next episode.

See you Thursday for the season finale...

Basketball Wives (season finale)- "Mending Fences"

2010-06-01T16:20:00.000-07:00

Shaunie plans a girls trip to LA sure to be filled with drama.

But before we get into the cat-fights it was nice to see a "tender" moment- lol- shared between Jennifer and Shaunie. Jennifer is still unsure about whether or not she should stay in her marriage and wants to get Shaunie take on things.
It was actually one of the few times on this show where you actually got to see that these women do have feelings and despite their shenanigans- I love that word- and ice-queen antics infidelity and divorce is scary even to the toughest Basketball wife. Jennifer is probably the least likely to buck up and fight someone so seeing a softer side of her isn't too far out of the realm of possibility.
Suzie and Gloria make peace which makes Suzie wants to play peacemaker. She takes Royce out for coffee and basically ambushes her and tells her that Gloria is coming, don't throw coffee- it's hot, I gotta run. "That's What's Up aka Gloria" comes around the corner and sits down. Things don't end well- obviously. These two are both settled and happy not being friends. I see nothing wrong with that. Everybody can't be friends- moving on. Nice try Suzie but next time leave well enough alone. Thanks.

All the girls get together for the dinner that Shaunie planned and Jennifer lets everyone know that she's gonna stick it out with Eric. Congrats? Royce and Gloria go at it again. Then the ball drops and Shaunie confronts Gloria about her sister and Shaq. Well I gotta give it to Gloria- the chick will not stand down and she is not going to talk shit about her sister no matter how much of a home-wrecker she is. If you need a ride or die chick Gloria is your girl. I don't agree with the blood is blood argument. So what she's your sister but when you're wrong, you're wrong! She's also a damn hypocrite because she dislikes Royce- or what everybody thinks Royce is- for being exactly what her sister is- go figure. Anyway, drinks flow, tears fall and the truth serum aka alcohol brings out some real talk.

Alas, you'll have to wait until the fall to see how things end up.

See ya in September...

Dancing w/Stars- American Idol finale (Double Post)

2010-05-26T19:08:00.000-07:00

It's finale time and these two shows couldn't end soon enough. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed them but it seems like we've been watching both of these shows FOREVER!

Well by now you all know that Derek and Nicole won the coveted mirrored ball - no surprises there. Nicole deserved it but next season

Tonight we will find out who will go home the next American Idol. Lee and Crystal are both great singers but if we're judging solely on last night performances Crystal should leave tonight victorious. More after the jump...
I really can't stand these two-hour saga's but tonight's show is special because it is also Simon Cowell's last time sitting at the judges table on the show that he helped create. The highlight of tonight for me was Barry and Maurice Gibb singing "How deep is your love"- so awesome! I couldn't stop laughing thinking about how dead on Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake imitate the Gibb brothers for the SNL skit "The Barry Gibb show". Michael McDonald performed "Taking it too the streets" and Christina Aguilera performed a single from her new album. Loved the Alanis Morrisette and Crystal duet! And I can't forget Bret Michaels, who has boldly cheated death by winning "The Apprentice" and then actually performing on American Idol. But the piece de resistance was Paula Abdul actually coming to the show tonight, looking amazing and actually making sense (the time released meds actually worked tonight).

Some of the goodbye's fell flat- Dane Cook wasn't funny AT ALL and Ricky Gervais is usually funny but his taped piece was awkward in my opinion. One of the lowest moments of the show was General Larry Platt and William Hung performing "Pants on the Ground" - so embarrassing. But this is what happens when you drag a show out for two hours.

Simon Cowell will be hugely missed and I honestly can't see the show going on too much longer without him but we'll see. All the idol winners came out and gave him a really touching tribute and one of my favorites, Kelly Clarkson even showed up.

No way! Janet Jackson is on freakin American Idol with her new hair (sans weave) -come on people she didn't cut anything but that weave out! She looks really good and sounds good. She sang a new song that I didn't recognize and then one of my favorites- Nasty Boys. Let me tell you something 40's are the new late 20's-30's- Rihanna who?

But now finally let's get to the winner of American Idol 2010- Lee Dewyze.

Crystal should have won but there you have it America.

RH of NY- "When Crazy met Kelly"

2010-05-21T16:38:00.000-07:00

"Why do I always get stuck with her?". Sorry Sonja!

The second half of Ramona's girls getaway was spectacular but some people can't just go to an island for free and chill out- they have to keep stirring the pot and starting ish. And thus begins the story of Crazy aka Kelly.

Let's just put this out there Kelly is f-in bat-shit crazy!!!! She is so lucky that Bethenny is pregnant otherwise she would've laid that sick beyotche out. What the hell is wrong with this woman. She immediately goes in on Bethenny during breakfast and says that she's a "cook" and not a "chef". Well okay, even if she is just a "cook" why do you care enough to tell her that? It's the stereotypical - I'm an insecure crazy woman so to build myself up I'm going to try to make you feel small in front of everybody. Basically, my name is Kelly and I'm pathetic.
I have to give Bethenny her props for being amazingly calm in the face of Crazy! At one point Kelly called Bethenny a "hoe-bag" completely out of nowhere and for no reason and Bethenny just laughed. This was awesome because Kelly was expecting a reaction and Bethenny laughing at her totally put the attention and sheer madness of the statement on Kelly. For me personally, this episode was a lesson in what to do when people push your buttons- do nothing or laugh. Reacting to crazy only makes you look as crazy as the crazy person.

Bethenny makes goodie bags for all the women for no reason other than she wanted to do something nice. Unless it's shit in a bag I really don't see the issue. But Kelly, the fool, literally lost it. She felt attacked by a bag of suntan lotion and a beach towel. She was so upset that she called Jill in the hopes of getting some sort of sympathy or at the very least understanding. Well that was a huge FAIL! Jill could barely make sense of Kelly's nonsense and left the phone call fairly certain that Kelly was going to have a nervous breakdown on a sandy beach.

The best part of the episode was at dinner where everyone was certain that Kelly needed help and not criticism. She's like your drunk Auntie at Christmas dinner- when she attacks you don't attack back because AWWWWWW she's pitiful and sick. Hell, by the end of the episode I even felt sad for the idiot because she was making NOOOOO sense. Sonja was her ally for most of the trip. Although this role was largely by default because no one else could deal with her BS. But even even-tempered Sonja, who's mind stays mostly on sex, couldn't stand by and condone the crazy. The straw was Kelly exclaiming that Bethenny was trying to kill her. I think at that point the show veered into uncharted, should we stand by and let this happen, territory.

In Kelly's words "she was just creepy"!

I'm bi-polar and just skipped my daily dose!

Until next week...

American Idol- Final 3- "It's the Lee show"

2010-05-18T18:06:00.000-07:00

So we're down to our final three contestants and the group that's left totally deserves to be here. The contestants will perform two songs, one that they choose and the second song that the judges choose for them. So let's get started.

Casey is the first to perform and the first song her performs is underwhelming for the judges. He sang well but it definitely wasn't a wow moment and right now is the time to have that moment.

Crystal sings "Come to my Window". I really like this song and I really like Crystal but this might be the first night that I really didn't like a Crystal performance. Ellen liked it. Kara said it was okay. Simon agreed with all the judges but he appreciated the fact that Crystal hasn't changed who she is at all during this competition. I agree.

Lee is up next with "Simple Man". It was good and he performed like a pro. The judges loved it and Simon said the first round goes to Lee.
More after the jump...

Second round Casey sings "Daughters" by John Mayer. I think it was a great song choice by the judges. Casey is just so stiff and lacks feeling when he performs for some reason. I think he's most comfortable playing his guitar and not singing. Everyone loved it except Simon. And again there was no Wow factor. Hey it really doesn't matter because this is Casey's end of the road performance anyway.

Crystal sings "Maybe I'm Amazed". I think it was a good pick although I think she looked a bit awkward without her guitar. It was great. Randy loved it. Ellen loved it. Kara liked it. Simon said it was terrific.

Lee sings 'Hallelujah". Silly Tim Urban sang this song and honestly it was the only song that he actually sung well during his unfortunate time on the show. It was beautiful and I kinda feel like when you have a back-up choir it gives you an unfair advantage. Lee looks like he is about to cry. Randy loved it. Ellen said it was stunning. Kara- blah, blah, blah- shut up Kara! Simon loved it.

I'm just gonna throw it out there that Lee is going to be our next American Idol.

Who will be the final two?

Find out on tomorrow's results show...

RH of NJ- "Caught in the middle"

2010-05-18T14:51:00.000-07:00

It's really sad when a grown woman constantly looks to her 11 year-old child for advice and even sadder when the child gives you sound advice. Danielle, Jacqueline sent the flowers to your daughter as a kind gesture- period! Stop being a fool and again get new friends. But of course you can't do that because if you did you wouldn't be on the show anymore. There's your pass Danielle. But please stop the shenanigans!

Jacqueline tries really hard with Danielle because she's a nice woman and doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. When talking about Danielle to Caroline, who probably isn't the best audience, Caroline brings up a good point that Danielle never sent Jacqueline a card, flowers or even acknowledged the birth of her son Nicholas who she had a really hard time conceiving. So Jacqueline you can now tell Danielle to go away without feeling guilty.

Teresa's girls are monsters! They're fresh and out of control and in need of an old fashioned beat down. At the store Melania behaves like an animal and during the dinner for Gia they act crazy. I can't believe that Teresa and Joe actually want more children- ugghhh. And what is wrong with Joe? Calling your daughter ugly and talking crazy before her first major fashion show is just plain mean. Of course the poor little girl is going cry. Maybe that's why Gia is such a jerk because her dad is a moron.

So it's fashion week and Teresa and Danielle are both there, in different tents, to see their daughters. Joe redeems himself after Gia's walk down the runway. He behaves as a proud father should and kisses her and tells her how beautiful she is.

Christine makes her way down the catwalk for her first, of what Danielle hopes, will be many Fashion Week shows. Unfortunately, after walking the runway the models had to stand still like mannequins and Christine almost passed out because she didn't eat before the show.

Welcome to the world of fashion- top models!

Until next week...

RH of NY- "Next time keep your crazy ass at home"

2010-05-18T12:29:00.000-07:00

This is an episode that has so much crazy in it I don't even know where to begin but I'll start with the Luann's lunacy.

Who is this fool that really thinks that Countless can sing?!? Stop it!!!!! This guy is a complete idiot and he looks like a cross between a chicken and the guy from the movie "Powder"- YUCK!!! "Money can't buy you class, elegance is learned- my friends"- what the hell are those ridiculous lyrics? Ugghhh- I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't!!!!
More after the jump...

On to a better topic- sun, fun and luxury in St. John's. Let's start with the fact that I want to be friends with Ramona! Amazing accommodations, amazing weather and almost amazing friends. The two buzz-kills, Jill and her shadow- the non-singing Countless Luann, have decided to stay home and they should have kept doofus Kelly with them.

Things start off relatively well but the madness starts at what's supposed to be a nice leisurely meal. Ok- so all the girls are at lunch on the yacht in their bathing suits and crazy Kelly decides to go in and change to put on a cover-up because she doesn't like to eat in a bathing suit- HUH? This is the same woman that poses nude for Playboy and wears dresses that barely cover her vag- but you can't eat lunch with your girlfriends, on a Caribbean island, on a private yacht with bathing suit on? Now all of a sudden you're miss modesty?! Kelly you are a complete idiot! During lunch Ramona brings up Jill's crazy behavior at Jennifer's party after finding out that Bethenny's father died. The minute that the conversation turns to her "master" the dumb-dumb looses her shit and leaves the lunch table. Gotta love Sonia who just watched in silence and couldn't wait for her pedicure- haaaa!

Back in NY Luann goes out on a date with the creepy Cord. She's so pathetically desperate that she actually likes this gross weirdo. The kisses between those two made me want to vomit- seriously!

Later that evening on the yacht Bethanny is sharing her experiences and memories of her dead father with Sonia and Kelly tries to tell Bethenny how she should remember her father. What Kelly? How are you going to tell the girl how to remember her father? Sonia breaks-up the conversation and talks about the thing she love most, sex and one night stands. Kelly tries to say that she's never had a one-night stand and never wants one. Then the crazy, jealous bi-polar, dumb Kelly FLIPPPPPSSSSSS out on Bethenny! When I say completely flips out crazy, I mean flips out crazy! Kudos to Bethenny for handling a psycho like a psycho should be handled.- ignore the crazy and maybe they'll disappear!

Meanwhile, Ramona and Alex are yacht hopping and end up on the Hooters yacht. To say that Ramona is having an awesome time is an understatement. Bethenny joins them to try to diffuse the psycho Kelly situation and when Kelly and Sonia join the rest of the group Ramona manages to say to Kelly, through her happy drunken slurs, that if she wants to mess up the good mood she needs to leave.

Please do us all a favor Kelly and get on a plane and go back to the psycho ward that released you prematurely.

This week we'll all be witnesses to what happens when someone has a nervous breakdown and doesn't take their medication. Not pretty!

Until Thursday...

CRAZY!!!!

RH of NJ- "My daughter is prettier than your daughter"

2010-05-18T08:06:00.000-07:00

So the Jersey girls are still "Anti-Danielle". Teresa, Jacqueline and Caroline go to lunch and just when you thought this was going to have a leisurely lunch Teresa brings up Danielle. Jacqueline just wants peace and Caroline just won't let up because you must remember "there family is thick (pronounced like tick) as thieves".

Lori is dating Vito, Albie's best friend, and Albie is having a difficult time thinking about the fact that his best friend is doing the nasty with his sister. I get it but Albie get over it!

Danielle's oldest daughter Christine wants to be a model and IMG wants to represent her. Danielle sees dollar signs and makes her promise that when she hits the big time she'll take care of her mother. But she's not the only model in town- Teresa is grooming Gia to be the next Naomi Campbell for sure.

Sorry Teresa, I think that Christine has the modeling thing in the bag. And guess who's taking her first photos - Giles Bensimon- crazy NY Housewife Kelly's ex-husband. And of course Danielle had to steal the spotlight from her daughter and get her photograph taken too. What's with these "momagers"? Danielle stop living your pipe dreams through your daughter.

Christine gets a cover and 5 page spread for her first shoot and she'll also be walking during Fashion week. And Danielle "bestie" Teresa will be at Fashion week also because little Gia is going to walk the runway too.
Oh joy!

Danielle is a sick woman. She decides to have a luncheon to celebrate Christine's cover. And here's the sick part- she invites Dina and Jacqueline- why? And the guest of honor, Christine, isn't even present at the luncheon. Come on Danielle you know that these ladies can't go against "family" and come to celebrate. Stop being crazy and inviting these women into your life when they clearly want nothing to do with you. It's hard to defend you when you behave so irrationally. But her "closest friends" do show up. One of those friends being Kim D who talked major ish about Danielle at Caroline's fundraiser.

With friends like that who needs enemies.

Basketball Wives- "Cougar's don't throw-up"

2010-05-17T14:22:00.000-07:00

Tonight we finally meet Gloria's sister- aka Gilbert Arena's fiancee aka one of Shaq's mistresses. Gloria looks up to her sister so there's no chance that she'll ever form any real friendships with the girls. Unfortunately, the real scoop of what happened between her sister and Shaq remain a mystery because that wasn't discussed.

Royce and Jenn go for a walk and she talks to Jenn about serving food at a homeless shelter. She wants the other girls to join her but is unsure about how Evelyn and Suzie will feel about it. Apparently Royce wrote some crazy nonsense on her blog despite being warned by Evelyn and Suzie about the dangers of social networking. I'm kind of glad that Royce does Royce. She's grown and can do what she wants and blog about what she wants. The girls show up to the shelter despite how they feel about Royce and focus on giving back.

I think Evelyn wants to be the boss of everyone and because she can't control Gloria or Royce it bothers her. Too bad Gloria didn't give Royce a chance at being friends because they both stand by what they believe no matter what the other women say and this makes them more alike then not.

Jennifer is hosting a a charity event to benefit Haiti and the talk of the night ends up being Evelyn and her 22 year-old date. Really Evelyn? Your boobs are hanging out, you're drinking like a fish, slurring your words and throwing up at a charity event- really? Pathetic and you need to check that little boy's identification because he looks about 17 to me. Take your drunk a-- home! Ugghhhh.

Eric actually shows up and supports Jennifer's event and she's feeling positive about their future as a married couple. I think her husband is a real tool but I'm glad she wasn't influenced by the bitter Betty's- Evelyn and Suzie. Sometimes you gotta learn lessons the hard way- Jenn will either figure it out or not.

See ya next week where it looks like instead of drinks flowin they'll be throwin...

Brandy & Ray J - A family business

2010-05-17T14:19:00.000-07:00

Brandy and Sonya are working on their relationship not only as mother and daughter but as friends. Brandy

is really serious about getting her career back on track and this rapping thing- which is really funny to me.

Ray J is also ready to get in the studio with Rodney Jerkins, he has a cologne deal coming up and he's just ready to "take things to the next level"- his words. Ray's career is really taking off where Brandy's has been on hold and she's starting from square one again. It's sibling rivalry at it's best or worst. They're sharing a manager, Ryan, who is focusing on the money making machine- Ray J. Brandy, of course feels left out, and gets so emotional! Brandy- get another manager- period.
More after the jump...
Ray J makes amends with big sis and puts the "T" back in teamwork and they're off and focused to make those green-backs.

Sonya almost passes out in a meeting and is forced to slow down so the kids definitely need to step it up. Ray and Brandy hit the studio - separately but they're both focused on making hit records. They both sound great in their sessions and I'm personally excited to see what the final projects will be.

So now that the family is on the same page Sonya can leave the office and Willie can get his wife back. He takes her out for lunch and surprises her with a serenade that brings her to tears. I guess this is where Ray J and Brandy get their vocal skills from. It was really sweet.

Until next week...

American Idol- Results show and Fantasia, BonJovi and Daughtry!

2010-05-12T19:03:00.000-07:00

So tonight we'll loose another one of our Idol hopefuls and we'll be down to three. But before we get to that we have some performances.

Fantasia performs and sounds great! I really like this new song and she's giving us a very reserved Fanny. There's no sweating, screaming, kicking off shoes or bouncing around on the stage. Someone must have told her to change it up a bit. I'm glad to see she's embraced her re-invention. Now time for the bad stuff -her hair looks like a hat and her legs look like sausages in those leggings - but I like Tay-tay so I'm gonna give her a pass tonight.
More after the jump...

So I think tonight will be Big Mike's turn to say good-bye. I think being in the bottom three for the last few weeks has beaten the big man down. The pressure was just too much for him.

But don't be sad Big Mike fans because as we all know from the success of Jennifer Hudson, many times not winning the Idol crown makes the biggest stars.

So farewell Mike aka Tiny Clothes. We'll miss you.

Until next week...

Dancing with the Stars- Results show

2010-05-11T18:02:00.000-07:00

In a nutshell- Niecy is gone...

See ya next week...

American Idol- Top 4 and Jaime Foxx, Movie night and Duets

2010-05-11T17:59:00.000-07:00

So we're down to the Final 4 and I think we're in for some fun tonight because Jamie Foxx is helping coach the idol hopefuls with movie theme night. No matter how serious Jaime tries to be I have a hard time taking him seriously.

Let's get started...

Lee is up first with "Kiss from a Rose". This is one of my favorite songs. Lee did a good job but nobody really compares to Seal's version of this song. The ending was swwweeettt. Randy said it was okay and pitchy. Ellen loved it. Kara said it was a tough song but he's still great. Simon didn't like the song choice. I agree with Randy and Simon because that's a hard song to sing- I still love you Lee.

Mike sings "Will you be there". It was okay. I think Mike is really worried about his place in this competition and there's a lot of pressure riding on this week. Randy did love the song choice. Ellen said it was predictable. Kara didn't feel goosebumps. Simon said the song choice was wrong. Mike's run may be over tonight.

Crystal and Lee sing "Falling Slowly". Perfection! These two should record this song. I thought it was beautiful. Randy loved it- amazing. Ellen said it was great! Kara said it was one of her favorite moments of the entire season. Simon said it was fantastic. Bravo!

I'm not sure how anybody is going to top that performance. We can end the show now.

Casey sings "Mrs. Robinson". It was good- but nothing surprising or new coming from Casey. I'm afraid of what the judges are going to say. Randy said it was cool. Ellen liked it. Kara said it was a good choice. Simon thought it was lazy - especially for this important night.

Crystal sings "I'm alright". I'm not sure why she chose this song but it was good. Crystal is always good- I just look forward to hearing her sing. Randy said it wasn't his favorite performance- nice job. Ellen said she made it better. Kara agreed with Ellen. Simon said Crystal is back in the game. I didn't know that she ever left.

Mike and Casey sing "Have you ever loved a Woman". It was okay but when you compare it to Crystal and Lee - well there is no comparison. Sorry guys. Randy liked it alot. Ellen said she loved a woman. Kara loved it. Simon loved it. What do I know.

My prediction of the final two are Lee and Crystal.

Who's going home?

Come back tomorrow for the results show.

Dancing with the Stars- Final 5- Race to the Semi-finals

2010-05-10T19:06:00.000-07:00

We're down to the final 5 and things are getting really serious. The pressure is on as the teams have to learn two dances and it's anyone's game.

Let's get started...

First round is the Ballroom round.

Chad and Cheryl are up first. Chad is serious about winning this thing. I thought it was great. The judges felt like Chad needs to work a liitle harder and the scores for the first dance weren't so great.
More after the jump...

Niecy and Louis dance a Waltz. It was good. Bruno and Len thought it was pretty good and Carrie-Ann is looking for everyone to step it up a bit at this point.

Erin and Maks dance the Tango. Erin is like a long giraffe and she scrunches her face up funny. When she jumped off the stage and landed with her crotch in Maks face it was quite the scene. Carrie-Ann loved it and thought it was beautiful. Len thought she was dirty (in a good way). He loved it. Brunno loved it.

Evan and Anna dance the Waltz. Evan looks like a Ken doll. The dance is beautiful. Len didn't like the dance overall for some reason. Bruno and Carrie-Ann liked Evan's lines but Evan is kind of cold and he needs to loosen up a bit.

Nicole and Derek dance the Foxtrot. Nicole cried during rehearsal- I think we need to remember that this is just "Dancing with the Stars" not the Olympics. Anyway, I enjoyed it. It's fun too watch these two. Bruno said it was pure dancing joy. Carrie-Ann loved it. Len thought it was a great dance.

Next up is the Latin round. But before that we got a taste of the "Dancing Robots" which really freaked me out.

Chad and Cheryl dance the Jive. It was the perfect dance for Chad. He smiled and looked like he was having a good time. The judges liked it.

Niecy and Louis dance the Paso Double. It was okay. Bruno said it wasn't good. Carrie-Ann said it was out of wack. Len said this dance didn't suit Niecy's personality. Niecy may be in trouble this week.

Erin and Maks dance the Rhumba. I'm not an Erin fan to be honest. The judges liked it.

Evan and Aaron dance the Cha-cha-cha. It was really good. In the beginning their timing was off but they immediately got it together. Len wasn't crazy about it. Bruno liked it. Carrie-Ann liked it.

Nicole and Derek finish the show out with a Paso Double. I love watching these two dance. Give the disco ball to this team right now! Bruno said a lot and in a nut shell he loved it. Carrie-Ann said it was brilliant. Len said there was nothing he could see to criticize. They got a perfect 30 score.

(The Winner's)

So there you have it. Come back tomorrow to see who's going home...

What Chilli Wants- "A little therapy never hurt nobody"

2010-05-10T15:43:00.000-07:00

Chilli is turning out to be a really difficult client for Tionna. After last weeks argument between the "matchmaker" and "matchmakee" Chilli is open to evaluating why she doesn't have a man. Dating is put on hold until Chilli works on Chilli and a therapy session is in order.

I don't think that's a bad idea at all.
More after the jump..

But first Tionna takes Chilli to meet Annie and Ralph. They've been married for over 40 years and they tell Chilli that compromise has been the key to longevity in their relationship. It was a productive meeting and Chilli feels like there may be hope for her yet in meeting Mr. Right and having her happily-ever-after.

Later that night Chilli takes her son out on a dinner date. She does this every so often to teach him how to treat a woman- when the time comes for him to start dating. After all, there's no better woman to learn from then your mother! Dallas Austin, his dad, happens to be at the same restaurant and comes over to say hello and it's a nice family moment.

During therapy Chilli reveals that she was hurt by Dallas (Tron's dad) and had an abortion before eventually having their son, 9 years later. She wanted to have the baby but didn't feel supported so she did what he wanted her to do and not having that baby still hurts her today. Past hurts and a closed heart is what's holding her back. Let's cue Erika Badu's "Bag Lady" for this one. The session goes well and Chilli sees that if anything is going to change with her love life she'll have to open her heart and be a bit more flexible with her list- without completely abandoning it.

I think it's a good compromise and that with these few changes she's bound to find her soul-mate.

What do you think?

I still think these two make a cute couple

Basketball Wives- "The Back stabbers, back stabbers"

2010-05-10T14:22:00.000-07:00

This week the cat fight isn't with "the groupies". It's with one of the wives.

Jennifer is still struggling with her hideous husband's infidelity and Suzie and Evelyn suggest that what's good for the goose is good for the gander and that Jennifer should go out and get her own- rhymes with stick on the side. I think Jennifer really wants to work things out with Eric but feels a little pressured by her friends to move on. Jennifer, don't let your friends influence your decision. If you want to stand by your man despite his infidelities and despite the fact that it's stupid- it's your decision- own it! More after the jump...

Suzie hooks Evelyn up on a blind date and Evelyn is as bad as Chili (What Chili Wants)- she's ready to dump the guy because he's not a big drinker- they start the date off downing a blue liquid in a martini glass and Michael-the blind date- starts to sweat immediately after taking the drink to the head. Evelyn would you prefer that the guy get drunk on the first date? After the drink the pair go take a Salsa dance lesson. Michael's two left feet seal his fate and Evelyn decides that Suzie is officially fired from setting her up on any future dates.

Jennifer, Royce, Evelyn and Suzie go out for drinks and ask Royce what she thinks about Gloria. Royce thinks that she and Gloria are cool and "the mean girls" decide to burst her bubble and tell Royce that Gloria has been talking behind her back and really can't stand her.

The next day the group joins Evelyn at a self-defense class. Some crazy stalker chick has been sending threatening e-mails to her so she decides it's best to brush up on her fighting skills. This alleged stalker also, according to Evelyn, recently hacked her account and leaked some nude photos that she took. At the class, Royce tells the girls what Gloria has been saying about all of them and when Gloria walks in the gloves are off- no pun intended. Gloria and Royce get paired up to fight and Royce really goes in on her. Gloria says to her, while they're fighting, that she doesn't want to hit her in the face. Royce is like do what you need to do and them asks her if she said that she didn't want to hang with her. Gloria basically admits to it and she and Royce agree that they won't be friends.

Suzie asks Gloria if she's talked about her to Royce. Again, Gloria admits to talking about Suzie without any hesitation.
Well at least Gloria didn't lie and I don't she's interested in being friends with this bunch anyway. There's no love lost on either side.

Until next week...

RH of New York- "The fallout and when did this become the Jill show"?

2010-05-07T17:38:00.000-07:00

Let's say this altogether now- "Team Alex"! I never thought in a million years that Alex would be my favorite housewife and now that I see her for who she really is- I'm not sure why I never respected her for her "truth" long ago. I love it! She had a beef with Jill and held onto it so long, but thanks to Jill and Bethenny's BS, she was able to get load of crap off her chest while making the "Queen of Mean" look like an idiot.

Good for you Alex!

Why Kelly and Luann feel the need to constantly play Jill's bodyguard is beyond me. It's none of their damn business where or why Alex chose to give Jill "the message"- period! And Bobby- I never had a gripe with you until now. Stop fighting your wife's battles. She's a grown woman and although I understand that she came to you because you are her husband- it's still none of your business.

Poor Alex had to have everyone in her ear about "what she said to Jill", "how she said it", "why she said it"- that she decided to attempt to explain herself to Jill, which I think was big of her. Jill being the passive aggressive control freak that she is, did what she always does and decides that she doesn't want to talk but gives Alex that weak smile and the cold shoulder. If it's not on Jill's terms then it just won't be. But I just love Alex and respect her for standing her ground despite "Jill's groupie's" coming to their leader's defense- ugghhhh!

Anyway- a quick word about Luann and the gross creepy guy, Cord, who's interested in getting to know the "Countless" better. What is with the throwing the head back with the mouth wide open laugh Cord? Yuck. Very astute of the new girl- Jennifer, aka-Jill's new Bitch and quite possibly the new Housewife- to notice that Cord has- and I quote- "bad hair and he's gay".

The queen "ish-disturber", "Countless", takes the girls to her place of solace where she gets centered. Luann, Sonja and Kelly all share there divorced, single mother horror stories and Jill just sits there with a look on her face that is just so condescending. I'm sure she was thinking "I can't relate because Bobby and I have a glorious marriage".

I was quite surprised that Ramona invited Jill to her weekend girls retreat but at least she's being a grown-up and not, not inviting Jill. But after Jill's outburst at Jennifer's party I hope Ramona changes her mind. Why is it Ramona's responsibility to tell Jill that Bethenny's father died? Jill- did you forget that Bethenny wasn't your friend anymore? What is wrong with this woman?!?

In the end, the good effort award goes to Alex McCord for even attempting to talk to or make amends with Jill. What is life like for a woman that can't even admit when she's wrong but can tell everyone else in the world how to eat, breathe, talk ("Kelly stop saying like") and live?

Did you find a new respect for Alex? When will Jill's reign of evil end?

See ya next week...

American Idol-" Results show and Lady Gaga performs"

2010-05-05T18:58:00.000-07:00

This is going to be a short post.

Last night the Idol's sang the tunes of Sinatra and things turned out exceptionally well. I'm not sure who's going home tonight but I would bet Casey, based on performance. But we all know that the American Idol voters are fickle and vote for people because "he's cute" or "she has pretty hair". Let's not forget "Smiling Tim". He lasted as long as he did because a bunch of 15 year-old girls thought he was cute with great hair- ugghhh.

All that being said, I think Mike might go home tonight because he's consistently been in the bottom and not because he can't sing. I think that the voters think he's cocky and too confident- which maybe he is- but he an certainly back it up.

Let's all say good-bye to ...

Young Aaron.

See ya next week!

American Idol- "Final 5 sing the tunes of Sinatra and Harry Connick Jr mentors"

2010-05-04T18:36:00.000-07:00

Why American Idol continues to do shows like tonight's songs of Sinatra is beyond me. I realize that Harry Connick Jr. is like a modern day Sinatra but if an artist doesn't sing the genre of songs that the winner will likely record then they can't be on the show. This is Harry Connick Jr.'s time to showcase himself- period. Nobody is going to record an album that sounds like Sinatra. My prediction for tonight's show is going to be a big fail!

Aaron is up first and sings "Fly me to the Moon". It was actually pretty good. I'm gonna go easy on everybody tonight given the material. Randy liked it. Ellen said the vocals were beautiful. Kara said it wasn't as strong as last week. Kara- shut up! Nobody is Frank Sinatra so give the guy a break- she's annoying. Simon said it didn't have conviction. Simon you shut up too!

Casey sings "Blue Skies". His voice is beautiful but no swagger but again I don't expect anybody to get up there and act like Frank Sinatra. Randy said it was his worst performance. Ellen didn't like it. Kara talked about - who knows. Simon said he wasn't fantastic and it was awkward. Well no duh! I'm so annoyed by this night- uggghhhh.

Crystal sings "Summer Wind". Crystal can do no wrong. Beautiful! Randy said it was sleepy- whatever. Ellen was impressed. Kara liked it. Simon was sure about the song choice. I thought it was good.
The judges are expecting too much tonight.

Mike sings "The way you look tonight". Last week I think Randy said Mike sounded like the great Luther Vandross and tonight I really heard that in his voice. Beautiful. Randy loved it! Ellen really liked it. Kara said she was taken on a journey? She liked it. Simon loved it and said he put himself back in the game- well done! Mike may end up winning this whole thing! Mike just remember to control the cocky and America will stand by you.

Lee sings "That's life". I liked it. Randy loved it. Ellen loved it. Kara liked it. Simon said it was the best performance of the night.

(Final five- minus Siobhan)

See ya tomorrow for the results show...

And say goodbye to Casey- I think he's sung his last song :(

Dancing with the stars (Double post)- "We're down to 6"

2010-05-04T18:03:00.000-07:00

So we're down to our final six couples. Things are getting really serious now. There was an individual dance and team dance. I'm gonna nix the individual scores and judges comments in this post and the following posts going forward for this show. Who will go home tonight?

Let's get started...

Erin and Maks danced the quickstep. It was okay. The judges liked it and they got some of their highest scores ever.

Cheryl and Chad danced the Viennese Waltz. Chad looked ridiculous with the white outfit but his dancing is improving. The judges loved it and said that that dance made him a contender.

Nicole and Derek danced the Waltz. Very nice. The judges gave them high praise and high scores. Great job.

Pamela and Damian danced the Waltz. Pam took the sexy down a bit and the judges liked it.

Niecy and Louis danced the Quick Step. I really liked it and think it was Niecy's best dance yet. The judges agree with me.

Evan and Anna dance the Tango. Evan is the best dancer of this season- even better than Nicole and I think it's his ice-skating background that has put him over the top. Standing O from the audience and the judges loved it. The first perfect score of the season.

The group dance was outstanding from both teams. The scores are close and really it's going to be up to who America likes and dislikes.

And Pam and Damian have danced their last dance. Good and Bye!

See ya next week.

Basketball Wives- "Now it's on!"

2010-05-04T08:03:00.000-07:00

Things are about to get really real- really quick. Jennifer's encounter last week with a groupie didn't go so well and that's not the last we'll see of that plastic mess aka Sandra.

Gloria and Matt discuss how the dinner with Jennifer and Evelyn went and Matt just doesn't want Gloria hanging we these chicks. Gloria wants to prove to the ladies that you can have a good and honest relationship with an athlete.

The girls go out to dinner and again the question is asked "who at this table has slept with Shaq" and Evelyn is all to happy to literally take her long arm and finger and point in Gloria's direction. Gloria's sister is the alleged "home-wrecker". Gloria's pissed and is gonna stand by her sister no matter what. Gloria shuts the conversation down. I guess no one expected her to stand up for herself but she handled the table of bullies like a pro and that was the end of it- BOOP!

Suzie takes Jennifer and Eric house hunting. WHY?!? Jennifer you're about to be on your own so why are you doing this? We know why- because you don't want to let that lifestyle go. Here's my thing, if that's your stance OWN IT and stop fronting! You'll deal with ugly Eric and his piggish ways cause you love that money girl. Period the end.

Gloria and Royce have dinner. They have a bond in a way because the other girls look at them as targets. Dinner is going well until Royce starts talking- very unapologetically- about how she broke the rules with her baby-daddy basketball player and had relations with him because how dare anyone tell her who she can and cannot date. Gloria , clearly, isn't a rule-breaker and doesn't appreciate those who are. In which case, your sister broke the rules with a married man so despite the fact that she's blood- you're not gonna check her? Oh, I forgot, that subject is not up for discussion- GTHOH!

The Royce/Gloria bond is dead before it even started.

Jennifer and Evelyn have dinner at Evelyn's house. Misery loves company people and Evelyn wants Jennifer to be happy but she also - clearly- wants to have someone to share war stories with. She had a bad relationship with her basketball playing fiancee so Jennifer's future is doomed in her eyes. Despite how disgusting Jennifer's husband is I'm not sure how I feel about Evelyn almost hating on Jenn. I think that if Jennifer had a great relationship with Eric, Evelyn would try to make her feel bad about it- just like she does to Gloria. If Matt is cheating on Gloria she'll figure it out. Remember, what's done in the dark will come to light- or something like that.

Royce, Jenn and Suzie go to dinner and meet up again with Sandra. Words like "gold-digger and groupie" get thrown around and this time Sandra is ready to fight. Then the "ish hits the fan"- Sandra tells Jennifer in no uncertain terms that her husband doesn't give a - blank- about her. Well those are fighting words and Suzie jumps to Jenn's defense and before you know it a chilled glass of Patron gets thrown in Barbie's face and then it's a all out - pretty ignorant- brawl outside at the restaurant.

The next day Jennifer and Suzie tell Evelyn about "fight-night" and they all agree that someone had to take one for the team and stand-up for the gold-diggers- oops - I mean wives. LOL!

So what do you think- is there a difference between a gold-digger and a groupie or are they one in the same?

Will Gloria give Royce a chance and be her friend?

Until next week...

Real Housewives of New Jersey- "Can't we all just get along?"

2010-05-04T06:56:00.000-07:00

We're back in the Garden State with the ladies from New Jersey. The tension between the group was at an all time high after the infamous table flipping at Teresa's dinner. Can Danielle get back in good graces with the rest of the ladies or is she better off finding new friends. After all, New Jersey is a big state and you're a grown woman so find NEW friends- but alas if you did that then where would the drama come from?

Jacqueline had another healthy baby boy and the family is complete. Caroline, the matriarch of the Manzo family, has reconnected with her sister-in-law. Don't forget the Manzo's are "thick as thieves". Christopher, Jacqueline's husband, has requested rather firmly, that Jacqueline break all ties with Danielle. And surprisingly, Jacqueline is equally firm and hasn't decided where their "friendship" stands.

Dina is focusing on positivity. Despite being harassed by Danielle or those people who associate with Danielle she's found forgiveness and a sense of "Zen" thanks to her weird looking cats. She's even reached out to Danielle via e-mail about leaving the past in the past. I'm quite surprised.

Meanwhile, Danielle is trying to find forgiveness and peace through Catholicism. She goes to speak with her priest who gives her some sound advice. Move on with your life lady!

Teresa, her parents and the girls are making enough red sauce to feed all of New Jersey- it's a tradition. But if you're on the rag no red sauce making for you. Teresa is raising some real winners too (side-eye). When the conversation turns to her oldest daughter, Gia, and who she's going to one day marry she's says "mommy told me that I should marry a Jewish guy". Teresa explains that Jewish men worship their women. Little Gia then exclaims "I don't want to marry a Jew"- yikes! Who says that? Teresa quickly corrects her. But the damage is already done "table flipper". So it's true people- kids really get all their racist ideas and thoughts from their parents. Scary.

Caroline prepares for the annual Sheriff's event at the Manzo house. They raise money every year with this dinner. The Manzo's need not worry about getting tickets huh? Danielle gets the scoop on the event from her manicurist and is annoyed that Caroline didn't invite her. Danielle why on earth would you think that you would get an invitation? After leaving the salon, with her daughters in the car, she decides to do a "drive-by". Her daughter's tell her not to do it but she's determined to make an ass out of herself. Danielle go home crazy! Thank God for kids! They get her to turn the car around and take the "crazy" home- whew. Disaster averted this time.

I think there is something really off with Danielle but it's hard to defend her when she continues the insanity.

Can these ladies find some common ground?

I think the crazy is going to hit an all time high this season!

See ya next week.

LisaRaye "The Real McCoy" ep 3- "The visit"

2010-04-29T15:41:00.000-07:00

LisaRaye is preparing to visit her sister, rapper Da'Brat. Brat's in jail for knocking a girl over the head with a bottle in an Atlanta club. For the assault, she got 3 years in the pen.

While in Atlanta, LisaRaye is going to hook up with her friend who owns a pole-dancing studio. She's going to host a pole-dancing contest where the contestants are not professionals but everyday women. Remember LisaRaye is "Diamond" and "Diamond" is LisaRaye. She's proud of that so who am I to judge? Hmmmm.

As soon as she lands she hits the club to see the rehearsal for the pole-dancing contest- for the everyday woman. Ms. Trina- who is actually a Mister- leads the class. LisaRaye explains that she sees pole-dancing as an empowering activity for women. I've heard that it has great exercise benefits- but so does running in the park. Whateve!

Next stop is the visit with "Da-Brat". This is the part of the show that I was most looking forward to. But unfortunately cameras weren't allowed in the jail. I don't get that because how many "Locked-up", "Locked-up abroad", Women Behind Bars shows are there? A gazillion! And we can't get a peak of Da-Brat in her orange jumpsuit- WTH?!?

Later that night it's time for the pole-dancing contest which is going to take place at the premiere strip club in Atlanta- "Magic City". Well these women - who supposedly aren't pro's- worked the poles like professionals. Somebody has been keeping major secrets- lol!

The contest is a success and the women feel great about themselves which was the goal. So I guess job well done?

Catch a new episode tonight at 9pm. Or save yourself the trouble and read my blog!

American Idol Results show- "Lady Antebellum and Rascal Flatts perform"

2010-04-28T18:58:00.000-07:00

Short post alert...

So last night was a great night overall for our final 6. I have no idea who America will choose to send home in a crumpled mess of tears. So let's not avoid the inevitable any longer...

Ryan sets the 6 in three groups of 2. Here there are:

Siobhan
Lee

Aaron
Crystal

Mike
Casey

Bottom 3-
Mike, Casey, Siobhan. My guess is that Mike will be going home tonight. He's been in the bottom 3 approximately 3 times and was saved one time by the judges. I thought he did a great job last night. If Mike is sent packing I think America got it wrong. Siobhan is my pick to leave tonight. I've had enough of her.

I was happily wrong. Mike is safe. I hope it's Siobhan but I have a feeling it's Casey.

Bye, bye Siobhan

American Idol Top 6- "Sing songs of Shania"

2010-04-27T18:56:00.000-07:00

It's coming down to the wire and the top 6 will not only be mentored by Shania Twain but they will also sing her songs. Let's go...

Lee sings "Looks like we made it". It starts off kinda shaky. Not my favorite Lee performance. Randy said it was pretty good and that he started out pitchy. Ellen liked that he made it his own. Kara liked it. Simon said that was the perfect song for him.

Mike sings "It only hurts when I'm breathing". It was beautiful and I haven't been a fan of his. Shania actually tears up. Randy liked it. Ellen thought it was beautiful. Kara thought it was great. Simon said the performance was wet and girlie. What Simon?

Casey sings "Don't". I think it was good. Casey has a really nice voice and the song showcased his vocal skills. Randy loved it. Ellen said it was his best performance. Kara liked it. Simon said it was his best performance.

Crystal sings "No one needs to know". I didn't love that song but I love Crystal. Randy agreed with me. Ellen said it wasn't her favorite performance. Kara said it wasn't her best performance but she's still great. Simon didn't like it. It's okay. Crystal is due for a bad night.

Aaron sings "You gotta way". His hand looks mangled holding the microphone- weird. I'm not a fan of Aaron's and I didn't like the performance. Boring. Randy liked it. Ellen liked it. Kara said that the emotion was good. Simon said he was really good and believable. Aaron is teary eyed because he sang the song to his mother- awwww.

Siobhan sings "Any man of mine". I don't know how I feel about Siobhan. I wasn't crazy about the performance but I don't like real down home country music. At the end of the song she screams- yet again. I think tonight will be her last performance. Randy liked it. Ellen liked it. Kara liked it. Simon liked the song but hated the screaming- he compared to giving birth.

See ya tomorrow for the results show. It's anybody's game now...

Dancing with the Stars- Results show and Melissa Etheridge performs

2010-04-27T18:03:00.000-07:00

This is going to be a short and to the point post. It's the results show.

Last nights show was full of great dancing from our couples so it will be interesting to see who goes home tonight.

My guess is that Pam and Niecy will be in the bottom two.

So I was wrong about Pam. The bottom two are Niecy and Jake.

And Jake and Chelsie are putting up their dancing shoes.

Jake stop crying- you'll dance again but not on this show.

Toodles...

Dancing with the Stars- "And then there were 7- Kate is back with her 8!"

2010-04-26T18:34:00.000-07:00

Ok- so now that Kate is gone who the heck am I gonna hate - lol!

This week is a special week with each couple doing two dances- Samba or Argentine Tango and the Swing Dance marathon which will be full of lifts and fun stuff. The last couple standing will get 10 points.

Jake and Chelsie are up first and do the Samba. Chelsie looks very Beyonce with her moves. Jake almost falls at one point- not sure why- maybe nerves. Len says there was no rhythm but it was better. Bruno said it didn't have enough wiggle. Carrie-Ann said Jake gets ahead of himself at times.
7,7,7 - 21

Evan and Anna dance the Samba. In rehearsal Anna drops Evan on his head and he ends up with a mild concussion- poor Evan. It looked like her broke his neck very scary. Evan dances an amazing Samba and you would never know what happened in rehearsal- awesome job! Bruno thought his lines were too straight for the Samba. Carrie-Ann agreed with Bruno about the lines. Len said the dance didn't suit Evan. Clearly I have no idea what a Samba is supposed to look like.
7,7,7- 21

Niecy and Damien dance the Argentine Tango. Niecy did a good job with her Miss Piggy muppet legs. And actually all the dancing is actually giving her legs definition- keep dancing Niecy! Carrie-Ann said it was nice too see Niecy dancing- she loved it. Len liked the comedy of the performance and thought it was good. Bruno appreciated the foot-work and said it was good.
7,7,7- 21

Erin and Maks dance the Samba. Erin has easily taken Kate's place. I can't stand this woman- she just bugs me but I know that she'll be around for a minute if people actually judge this show for dancing skills. Erin really looks awkward shaking it- which is what the Samba calls for. Len didn't like it- I agree. Bruno liked it. Carrie-Ann said she nailed it and she loved it.
9,7,9- 25

Chad and Cheryl dance the Argentine Tango. Wow- what a change in Chad. I thought his footwork was very good and he really controlled the dance. Good job! Bruno said it was great. Carrie-Ann said he nailed it. Len said Chad grew tonight- I agree.
8,8,8- 24

Nicole and Derek dance the Samba. It was fantastic! Carrie-Ann loved it. Len didn't really like it- huh? Bruno said the dance was superlative. Len is pretty hard to please.
9,7,10- 26

Pamela and Damian dance the Argentine Tango. It was okay although it looked like they were about to do the nasty right there on the dance floor. Len said it was good. Bruno loved it. Carrie-Ann said it was okay.
7,7,8- 22

Swing Dance Marathon
Jake and Chelsie sit first. Niecy and Damien are next. Evan and Anna are third. Chad and Cheryl are fourth. Pamela and Damian are fifth. Erin and Maks are sixth
.
And the winners are Nicole and Derek and they get an extra 10 points.

Check out the elimination post tomorrow night..

Jerseylicious- "The test"

2010-04-26T16:47:00.000-07:00

Yeah- I haven't blogged this show in a minute but I'm giving it another chance for a special reason- which you'll find out later in the post. Here we go- Tracy returns from NY inspired to be the next big thing in the world of hair. Meanwhile, Alexa has granted Olivia's life-long dream of doing a "glammy wedding" - lol! Her hopes of becoming a Glam Fairy are closer than she thinks.

Alexa talks to Gayle and Olivia about her upcoming blind date. She's nervous and hates Jersey guys. Somehow I'm sure Jersey guys hate her too! She asks Olivia to come out on the blind date with a friend of hers- so it will be a double blind date.

Fililipio, the new salon intern aka "the Italian Tom Cruise" is adjusting well to the being an assistant but he wants more responsibility. Anthony agrees to present the possibility to Gayle. Gayle doesn't think he's ready but is willing to test Filly. If he does a good job shampooing Gayle's big client there may be a chance for him.

Tracy hits the pavement, literally, to get started with working her portfolio and she lands a gig at "The Closet" in Englewood, NJ.

Back at Olivia's house Alexa and Olivia get ready for the blind date. Alexa has her "girls" on full display in a dress that is about two sizes too small and that I'm sure she got from "Rainbow Shop" - ilk! The doorbell rings and Len, Olivia's date comes in and he's not her type at all. He's slimy and calls her princess- yuck! Alexa's date, Ryan arrives soon after. Alexa thinks he's cute and is super excited. At dinner Alexa is practically drooling over him. Len is a tool and seems to be messing up Alexa's groove. She feels bad for Olivia but she's having a great time with Ryan. Sorry Liv.

Tracy prepares to go out and celebrate getting her first freelance gig with her boyfriend Lorenzo, Gigi and Frank. Tracy is growing in her career and life and maybe growing a little tired of Lorenzo's childish ways. At the club Lorenzo seems to be flirting with the waitress and she's getting pissed off.

Meanwhile, part two of Olivia and Alexa's double date is at the same club that Tracy is celebrating with her current boyfriend- Olivia's ex-boyfriend. Olivia looses Len on the dance floor and Lorenzo bumps into Olivia while grinding on Tracy and all hell breaks loose! Tracy leaves the club in a huff and Lorenzo runs after her.

The next morning Olivia and Alexa arrive to do the make-up on the wedding party. Alexa is still gushing about her date the night before. The fairy's are talking so much that they are gonna make the bride miss her own wedding. They kick it into high gear and manage to get everything done in time. Olivia may very well get her wings.

And now for the reason why I'm blogging this show- Tracy is at her big styling job where she's doing the hair for "B. Artise" vintage clothing- yeaaaaaa Bridgette aka B. Artise! Bridgette is a designer with her own line of clothing and a book- check her out at- http://www.bartise.com/ - shameless plug! B.- changes her mind about the hair styles at the last minute and Tracy is nervous because a lot is riding on the success of this job. In the end, she comes up with the perfect hair to go with the clothes- "B" is happy and Tracy get some great shots for her portfolio.

Back at the Gatsby, Philly's test shampoo day has arrived and Gayle's big client is no other than Gayle herself. Philly passes the test with flying colors and he's allowed to make baby-steps in getting more responsibility.

Olivia and Alexa have a moment to sit and talk while waiting to do touch-ups on the bride and the bridal party. Alexa opens up about having her heart broken and cries- she's been very unlucky in love and her self-esteem has been greatly affected. She does a snot/cry when talking about it. You know those ugly cries. I think if that Ryan guy doesn't take her out on a second date she may do something rash- yikes.

She gets a phone call from Ryan while at the wedding and he wants to go out on a second date. She is ecstatic! She is also very happy with Olivia's work so all is well in fairy land and in New Jersey!

Until next week...

Kimora Life in the Fab lane- ep 6- "Something's gotta give"

2010-04-26T12:30:00.000-07:00

Kimora is feeling more overwhelmed than usual now that she's added the bi-coastal living element to her list of things going on in her life. She goes to a meeting in NY with HMI, an school/organization that works with gay, lesbian and transgender teens. Kimora supports this organization because she can relate to being different. When she was younger she was teased a lot so this organization has a special place in her heart. She's also going to be hosting a fundraiser/reward show for the school.

Next she's off to a meeting with Ming, Aoki and the "Hello Kitty" company. The girls have been given the opportunity to design some charm bracelets. Aoki is in her element!

Then she goes to a meeting at Macy's to discuss the creation of a new line. Kimora takes juggling to another level but let's keep in mind that she's hardly doing all this by herself. They have 4 weeks to turn around a new line and have it in stores for customers to buy. Crazy!

The search on to find a design team to get the team together to make this impossible deadline. She meets with the company that her marketing team has hooked her up with. She gets a tour of the facility and then they start planning. In this economy it's smart to do an affordable line that looks expensive. The meeting goes well but time is of the essence.

Fast forward to another meeting with the design team and she sees the Red Cross blood donation trucks on the lot and she just has to give blood. If Kimora is really authentic with her giving spirit then I think that's awesome. The meeting is a blur because after giving blood she's feeling quite woozy. In the end, things go quite well and "Kouture by Kimora" is well on it's way!

Then she's off to NY to host the HMI fundraiser. She's nervous and when it's time for the auction Kimora has to rally the room for donations. The event was a huge success and raised $1.2 million for the foundation.

The girls go for cupcakes and bracelet designing with two of Kimora's VP's. Aoki is a ham and needs her own show- she has such a big personality.

Now she's back in LA to have her final meeting with the company developing the new line. The head designer looks like Sponge Bob Square Pants but seems very talented. She is blown away by the samples and then everything has to be boxed up and shipped for production.

Kimora and the girls go to the Hello Kitty b-day celebration. It's also the premiere of the bracelets that Ming and Aoki designed. It's all about girl power!

Finally, the "Kouture by Kimora" line makes it's debut and people love the outfits.

More impossible deadlines met with great success- now that's fabulous!

See ya in 2 weeks for the season finale.

What Chili wants- ep 3- "You blew it!"

2010-04-26T09:29:00.000-07:00

I almost don't care about what Chili wants- but I'm gonna remain patient with this chick and we'll see what happens. Chili has a 2nd date with Christian and this time it's lunch at Chili's house and Missy Elliot, Chili's close friend, comes over to grill the guy. Lunch goes well but there won't be a 3rd date. Christian is a good "friend" but what Chili really wants is "Pretty Boy Floyd".

Meanwhile, Chili and T-boz are preparing for their first major concert since the passing of Left-eye. The concert is in Vegas and so is Floyd and Tionna decides it's time for Chili and Floyd to figure out what the real deal is between them.

Tionna meets with an "oddologist" about Chili's odds of finding a man in Atlanta. After factoring in Chili's list it's like 2 million to 1 that Chili will find love. Floyd and Chili need to work.

The performance goes really well. 7 years later and the girls still have it. Chili is happy and Lisa's (Left-eye's) family is so supportive about her and T-boz performing- so job well done.

Now it's time for Chili to meet Floyd and Chili is really nervous because who wants their heart broken. Chili and Tionna sit and talk before Floyd arrives. The clock is ticking and something is wrong because Floyd still hasn't arrived. "Pretty-boy" finally calls and basically stands her up. Chili is heartbroken especially because they're friends so she really didn't expect to be treated that way by him. You blew it Floyd- what an ass! The girl even had a gift for you and then you diss her like that. Wow.

On to the next one Chili!

See ya next week.

Basketball Wives ep 3- "Don't make me over"

2010-04-26T07:42:00.000-07:00

Jenn and Evelyn take a road trip to Orlando to visit Gloria - the sister of the chick that's hooked up Shaquille-and her husband Matt for dinner. They don't really want to go but they're trying to be nice to this girl because Shaunie asked them too. Dinner starts out good and then Tiger Woods gets brought into the conversation and Matt doesn't want to have the discussion. Jenn and Evelyn can't get out of "all atheletes cheat and all men are dogs" mode so the rest of dinner is a bit uncomfortable- to say the least.

The next day on the way home they discuss the previous night's dinner and decide that that's the last olive branch that will be extended to Gloria.

In preparation for a party at a mansion in Miami, Jennifer takes Royce out to find a dress and get her hair done. She's a little rough around the edges and looks like a little pixie. I just can't see this chick being "a groupie" she's too tom-boyish. And didn't all these women start out as groupies? I mean really. Anyway, they find a dress and then it's off to the hair salon. She's reluctant to get her hair done but after looking in the mirror and seeing the finished product she sees herself as a woman and starts to cry- she's pleased with the results. I think there's a serious low self-esteem issue with Royce which makes me sad for her :(. Jennifer is happy and has done her good deed for the day. Hopefully this has opened up the communication between these two and maybe they can become friends.

The ladies arrive at the party and it's dead and then it starts to rain so everybody is ready to bounce. Then Sandra, a groupie that looks like what I imagine a groupie to look like, walks in. She's a plastic surgery mess- weaved up, overly made up, that sort of "groupie" look. Jennifer steps to Sandra because there's been rumors about her messing with Eric, Jennifer's husband. Of course Sandra says that it's not true what's been said about her- blah, blah- beyotche please! But really Jennifer - you need to step to your man and get in his shyte because a groupie is always gonna be a groupie- period. Handle your husband.

After the exchange the ladies decide the the party is horrible and leave. We have a fight free episode this week.

Come back next week for more groupie drama and someone gets a drink thrown in there face- GOOD STUFF!

Brandy and Ray-J- A Family Business ep 4- "It's business not personal"

2010-04-26T04:59:00.000-07:00

Sonja calls a family meeting to talk about the a reception that they're gonna have to open the new office space and also to discuss Brandy and Ray's individual projects. Ray-J mentions that producer Rodney Jerkins is going to produce his new album and Brandy is not pleased. She blames him for the failure of her most recent album- which is ridiculous to me. Ray-J also thinks that Brandy is being over the top with it and he doesn't understand what's going on. Brandy and Rodney have made multi-platinum albums together so there's definitely a personal issue there. Did Brandy like Rodney Jerkins at one time? Did they date before?

Brandy goes on a hike and vents with her bff Shea. Shea wants to be a manager so Brandy sets up a meeting between Shea and her mom. After talking with Shea, Brandy decides that she wants to talk to Rodney to get things out in the open.

Ray-J goes to meet with Rodney to discuss him producing Ray's new album. When Ray-J mentions that Sonja is going to be involved Rodney says that basically no one wants to work with his mother. Rodney gets Sonja's personality and appreciates her business sense but when the people cutting the checks say no Sonja has to go! Rodney can't risk business relationships that has. I'm sure her "go-hard" personality is no doubt a huge part of the problem.

Brandy and Shea meet with Sonja to discuss Shea working with the R&B side of the business. Sonja says Shea will have to start at the bottom - go get the coffee and donuts- cause your degrees mean nothing here sweetie.

Ray and Ryan meet to discuss how Ray-J is going to talk to Sonja about not being involved in this new project. So the big moment comes for the son to tell his mother that she's being too overbearing- hmmm. He can barely get the words out because he doesn't want to hurt his mother's feelings. He spits it out and she's obviously disgusted. But come on now Sonja- you know that you're probably too much. Step-off on this one and let Ray-J shine or not on his own. That's being a good mother and has nothing to do with being a manager. Sonja is a tough business woman and is proud of the fact that she's not a push-over. Good for her. She's gonna let Ray shine on this one and see if he's actually learned anything from her.

Brandy talks to Rodney and there's two sides to every story. Rodney felt like Brandy didn't want a commitment- with him as the only producer on the last album- and he acted accordingly. In the end, they talk and despite not coming too an agreement Brandy feels better about the situation. Brandy will be just fine when Rodney gives her another hot multi-platinum album.

The reception at the new office space goes great. A football player from the NO Saints comes in and Brandy gives him her number- I guess Flo-rida is out of the picture. Rodney shows up and he a Ray-J have a talk about Ray being committed and focused on this project and not so much on girls and other stuff. Ray promises his undivided attention- we'll see.

Until next week...

Real Housewives of New York- ep 7- "Now you wanna be my friend?"

2010-04-23T05:24:00.000-07:00

The episode starts with Jill's "bitch" Ginger taking a much needed poop all over her owner! Ginger is the dog people- lol!

Bethanny and Alex get together for lunch at Alex's place. They've become quite good friends because Alex is low-maintence and has no conditions on her friendship with Bethanny. Bethanny tells Alex that Jason popped the question and Alex is genuinely happy for her. Alex is the first person that she's told and that says a lot about their friendship.

Ramona and sassy Sonja have lunch. They are both a mess so I can see a good friendship coming from these too. There's something "off" about Sonja- can't put my finger on it yet. They talk about the Kodak event and what Sonja thought about all the girls. Sonja recalled meeting Kelly a gazillion times and Kelly being Kelly of course acted like she never met Sonja. Typical Kelly behavior and Sonja is not impressed but I don't think she really cares in the grand scheme of things. Sonja seems like she's very into "herself" so Kelly and her ditsy behavior is not remotely on her radar.

Ramona goes out to lunch with Avery who looks like she doesn't want anything to do with her mother. Ramona tells Avery how she wants to her to be her maid-of-honor. Avery is so unimpressed and not interested at all in being in the wedding. Avery knows how crazy her mom is and she handles her mom's craziness really well by giving her blank stares and a few smiles here and there- very funny indeed.

The two line-backers, Kelly and LuAnn run into each other during LuAnn's search for the perfect condo in Manhattan. Kelly joins the group and offers her opinion. LuAnn wouldn't think of living among people that wear baseball caps on the street and she must live in a doorman building. The first place is 7,500 a month and the 2nd is 14,000 a month- too much money for too little space. The search continues.

Jill sits with her sister and mother to discuss their book and go through pictures that they want included. Gloria, Jill's mother, is so annoying but would make great tv if she had her own show.

The three single cougars-Sonja, Kelly and LuAnn have dinner. They talk about Adderall- the ADD drug- and Kelly appropriately brings up Ramona. Sonja is a firm believer in that being divorced doesn't have anything to do with not having sex. She wants to have sex all day long and it's important. Sonja eludes that she's sure that LuAnn is "getting it in" shall we say- despite not having a "man-friend". Somewhere in the conversation Sonja says that she wants a man that doesn't cheat. Then Kelly asks "did your husband cheat on you" and then Sonja turns the question back to Kelly. Kelly gets offended because she thinks it's not appropriate to ask that sort of question. Why can't anyone have a fun and easy conversation with this woman? And Kelly, you asked the question of Sonja first, so what's the problem. LuAnn's husband cheating on her is too new so she definitely doesn't want to have this conversation. But everything is off limits with Kelly and it's annoying! I'm sure in real life she has no friends.

Kelly is hosting an event for Gotham magazine and she's nervous about the women embarrassing her. Kelly you're an embarrassment! Jill comes in and doesn't want any run-ins with Ramona or she may "bitch-slap" her. Jill you're not slapping anyone. And the most pretentious conversation of the evening was LuAnn having an argument with Mario in Italian.

Bethanny arrives and Jill and LuAnn leave the table. Jill grow-up you moron! Bethanny shares her happy engagement news and Ramona screams the good news for the room to hear. Kelly runs over to LuAnn and Jill to tell them the happy news and Jason comes over and Jill gives him a half "congratulations". Jill whines about how uncomfortable and awkward she feels- Jill is a freaking idiot and LuAnn is too. She's a sick, sick woman! Jill you created the divide with Bethanny and now you're upset because you're not gonna be invited to the wedding?

As Bethanny leaves Jill comes over with her fake, phoniness and Bethanny - finally- has her AHA-moment and the tables have turned because she wants nothing more to do with Jill. Thank god! Jill - all of a sudden- could it be because you want to be part of the wedding- that you want to be friends again with Bethanny and talk about what happened. Jill- Bethanny tried to reach out to you on several occasions and you wanted nothing to do with her and now you want to fix it?

Jill is disgusting and of all the Housewives on all the shows I find her to be the most revolting.

Do you think Jill is nuts? Should Bethanny just move on, happily ever after, without Jill?

What do you think?

Tiny and Toya- ep 2- "

2010-04-22T10:03:00.000-07:00

This weeks episode starts with Toya having family time with her mother Nita and brother Walter. The normalcy and routine of something as simple as her mother making breakfast for the family makes her happy. Toya has also come to an understanding with her brother Walter and he's opened up and their relationship seems to be on the right track.

Next stop is Tiny's house where she has happily given Toya the ok to have Walter come over and record a song called "Moonwalk". Walter is a lot like Fantasia's brother- everybody wants to be a rapper or singer (side-eye). Tiny thinks of Toya as a little sis and wants to do whatever she can to help her - they're family.

Walter records the song and it's actually not bad- at least the little chorus that he rapped. Tiny thinks the track is a hit and is really happy to see Toya so settled and just content with her family and helping her brother achieve his dreams. Everybody is dancing or "moonwalking" to the song. And no - it's not Michael Jackson's moonwalk- something completely different.

Meanwhile Tiny and Tamar, one of her closest friends and Toni Braxton's sister, go over to Tiny's parents house to see her dad. Tiny's mother talks about how she and her husband got into a car accident a few years back and after the accident Tiny's father wasn't the same. They think that the accident brought on his Alzheimer's. Tamar tells Tiny that maybe she can use some counseling to talk about how's she's feeling about all the stuff going on in her life: TI going to jail and now her dad being sick. Tiny seems like she internalizes things and to talk about everything would make it more real and painful so she is not really into the idea.

Toya and her mom go to the rehab facility to meet the director of the program. This is the same facility that Keisha Cole's mom Frankie spoke at. Toya is hopeful that her mother is gonna change for good this time around.

Toya, her mom and Tiny's mom go and get massages. Tiny sits and waits with her dad and they have some time alone. It's really sweet the relationship that Tiny has with her father. Music is their connection and they sing a little song quietly to each other while waiting for the ladies to finish getting pampered. It was really a special moment for Tiny because she doesn't have that closeness with her father very often.

These girls are almost "boring" they're so normal. Close your eyes and pretend that they don't have the crazy accents and you have two girls just dealing with family stuff.

If people aren't behaving badly or causing some sort of drama the reality is things can get a little dull.

See ya next week.

American Idol- Results show and Idol Gives Back with an all-star cast.

2010-04-21T21:26:00.000-07:00

Tonight's show was special for many reasons. President Obama and First Lady Michelle opened the show with a message about "Idol Gives Back" and Queen Latifah hosted live from LA. Tonight's show is about giving back to help children all around the globe.

If Ryan ever gives this gig up or scoffs over money, as if, Queen Latifah would be a great replacement!

Our final seven look angelic- literally- in all white.

Let's cut to the chase and find out who's going home tonight...

Mike looks like the Michelin Tire guy with all that white.

Here are our bottom three:
Casey, Aaron and Tim. I think these three are exactly where they belong.

And smiling Tim Urban is finally going home! Hallelujah! America is in sync with me this week.
First non-dancing Kate Gosseling gets the boot from "DWTS" and now non-singing but always freakin smiling- Tim Urban is going home.

I'm pleased.

See ya next week.

Tim say goodbye and stop smiling!

American Idol- Final 7 take a little inspiration from Alicia Keys

2010-04-20T19:23:00.000-07:00

Tonight our Idol 7 gets mentored by Alicia Keys and will sing songs of inspiration. I really hope that I don't hear "I believe I can fly". The competition is coming down to the wire and only the strong will survive. I have no idea what songs will be sung tonight but I do know that song choice will be especially important. Let's hope for the best and plan for the worst.

Casey sings "Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac. It was the usual Casey performance. He's so stiff it's funny. I think he's singing an octave too high for his range maybe? Randy felt like it was the same thing. Ellen said it was good but not great. Kara (get to the point) said he wasn't different. Simon said the song wasn't inspiring and there was no emotion or originality.
Uh-oh Casey.

Lee sings "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkle. I love Lee but I hated this performance and the song. Randy liked it. Ellen said it was a beautiful song choice- best performance. Kara said he had his moment tonight. Simon said that even though we're two in it was the best of the night. He's not a fan of the song but said it was Brilliant. Kudos Lee.
I guess I just don't know the song.

Tim sings "Better Days" by Goo-Goo Dolls. I can't stand smiling Tim and I didn't like it. Randy said it was okay Karoke. Ellen didn't like the soup. Kara- blah, blah- it wasn't his best performance. Simon said if it was the first time that we saw him it may have been believable but it was a let down.

Aaron freaking sings "I believe I can fly" by R. Kelly. This is what I was afraid of and I can't believe that someone actually sang this song. It was really bad and I think Aaron is going to be in trouble this week. Randy said he did a good job with a giant song. Ellen liked it. Kara loved it? Simon said it wasn't good.

Siobhan sings "Believe". She looks like she belongs in a garden. I liked it. Randy said it was okay. Ellen liked it. Kara said it was very dramatic and she doesn't know who she is. Simon said that the song arrangement was wrong and odd.

Tonight is not a good night.

Mike sings "Hero". Why does he perse his lips like that? It was okay. Randy said it worked out. Ellen said great job. Kara didn't like it. Simon said he sang it well but it wasn't inspirational.

Crystal sings "People get ready". This girl gives me chills. Randy gave her a standing O. Ellen said it was so beautiful. Kara liked it. And I'm gonna assume that Simon liked it but my DVR cut-off at the end.
Perfection.

Go Crystal!

So my pick for the bottom three- Siobhan, Casey and Tim/Aaron.

Find out who's going home tomorrow.

Dancing with the Stars- Results show and Maxwell performs!

2010-04-20T18:08:00.000-07:00

Short post alert people! We know who deserves to go home but sometimes dreams and wishes don't come true. Kate needs to go home. Will last nights dance be her last?

Happily Kate and Tony are in the bottom two and the smile is wiped right off the her face- HAAAA! Tony actually looks a bit relieved and hopeful that tonight he will be put out of his misery. I'm not going to celebrate yet though because as we know with America voting nobody is safe. Kate is a fool if she actually believes in her heart of hearts that it's a surprise that she's in the bottom. You STINK Kate! Do you hear me!?!

Chelsie and Jake perform and Chelsie's boob almost pops out. Pamela Anderson looks easily- one thousand years old people. OOOOLLLLDDDD!

So I'm glad Pam is in the bottom 2 with Kate. Both of these women make me sick but Kate needs to go!

Wooooohooooooo!!!!! Bye Kate- good riddance!!!!!

So there you have it- The mother of eight is done!

Bye Kate. Throw away your dancing shoes!

Until next week...

Dancing with the Stars- "Movie Night"

2010-04-19T17:18:00.000-07:00

Tonight the stars will dance to their favorite movies- it's movie night! And a little birdie tells me that one of our favorite, flirty dancing stars is about to get his own reality dating show. That's right Chad "Ochocinco" is going to get the chance to find the woman of his dreams by dating a series of women across the USA. That's all I know right now but will share more info as I get it.

Now on to the show...

Niecy and Louis dance the Jive to "La Bamba". Niecy has lost a few pounds and looks great. The Jive is a very fast dance and she kinda missteps throughout the dance. Let's see what the judges think. Len thought Niecy had a lot of personality- well done. Bruno said there was a lot of jiggling. Carrie-Ann liked it. Niecy is hysterical - so big girls and little girls vote for her!
6,6,6- 18.

Chad and Cheryl dance the Quickstep. Chad is really getting on Cheryl's nerves -he's like a 5 year-old. It was okay. Bruno didn't like it and said it was all over the place. Carrie-Ann said it was okay. Len thought his posture was better.
6,6,6- 18.

Erin and Maks dance the Jive. Really cute! They did a great job. Carrie-Ann really liked it but she thought Erin was ahead of the beat and she shouldn't wear black shoes. Maks enjoyed it. Bruno likes the Uma magic- they were dressed like "Pulp Fiction".
7,7,8- 22.

Jake and Chelsie dance the Cha-cha with homage to "Risky Business" - Jake really looks like Tom Cruise. Overall it was good. Len said it was great. Bruno called him a "cheeky bugger". He thought that was one of his best performances. Carrie-Ann loved it.
8,7,8- 23

Pamela and Damian dance the Quickstep to "9 to 5". It was boring. Bruno said she's doing a great job. Carrie-Ann said it was fun to watch. Len said it was too much acting and not enough dancing.
7,6,8- 21

Kate and Tony dance the "Fox-Trot". I'll say it again people Kate Gosselin needs to go home NOW!!!! She is the worst dancer ever! Carrie-Ann babbled - it was so bad. Len said it was a stroll and not a dance. Bruno said Kate was catatonic! Send Kate Gosselin Home- ASAP!!!! And Kate stop mouthing "I love you". Nice move begging America to vote for you because you have to dance for your kids- very clever you
non-dancing bimbo!
5,5,5- 15

Nicole and Derek dance the Tango. I thought it was amazing! Nicole can really dance and they get a well deserved standing ovation. Len said it was Nicole's best dance and the best dance of the season. Bruno said it was perfect. Carrie-Ann said they were superstars- beautiful. I'm expecting some 10's.
10,9,10- 29 ( almost perfect)

Evan and Anna dance The Rhumba. Evan looked awkward tonight. But it was still pretty good. Bruno said his lines were great. Carrie-Ann said it was beautiful. Len said it was great.
9,9,9- 27.

That's it my friends. As always Kate needs to go home- she was by far the worst tonight.

But the night belonged to Nicole and Derek!

Come back tomorrow for the results show.

Kimora Life in the Fab Lane- ep 5- "Ain't no mountain high enough"

2010-04-19T12:17:00.000-07:00

Now that Fashion Week is over it's time to work on the spring ad campaign and this year it's different because Kimora is going to be working from LA- her staff is none too thrilled. Kimora also has to be picture ready for the ad campaign and this means she has to loose the baby weight. She loves food so it's going to be tough.

Back in NY, the team is working on the concept for the ad campaign and they only have 2 weeks until the shoot. To go with the Moroccan theme, the ad agency thinks shooting in the desert would be the way to go. Her team is not too sure that she'll go for it because climbing rocks is not Kimora's thing.

In LA Kimora is prepping for her new workout regime and she shops for an stroller that she can workout with because being a mommy is always the priority.
Once back at home Kimora checks in with the NY office via video conference. Alma, the marketing coordinator shows her some of the concepts but she's not impressed by anything that she sees.

Kimora goes back to focusing on getting fit before the ad campaign. She works with a juicing expert who comes up with best juice to get Kimora in tip-top shape. The only problem is the Kimora doesn't like vegetables. When the guy tells her that she has drink a gallon of the "green juice" she is pretty much done! Next she goes for a walk/run- more walking with baby Kenzo in his new stroller and her make-up artist Christopher by her side. She hates working out- me too Kimora! But she knows that if she's going to be ready for the campaign she has to suck it up and do what needs to be done.

Always the multi-tasker, Kimora attends the JC Penny shoot for her Fabulosity brand and there is a table full of cupcakes, cookies and candy for the tiny models while Kimora is stuck drinking her green juice. Those cupcakes look like red-velvet with cream-cheese icing- that's just plain cruel- lol!

Alma, the marketing coordinator and the photographer climb the rocks that Kimora will have to climb for the shoot and after the climb Alma is more than sure that Kimora isn't going to go for it!

Kimora and the team meets in LA to discuss final location plans and the photographer tells her that he thinks that the desert will work much better for the campaign then the mansion. Kimora approves the location after seeing the photos.

The next day is the kids shoot and Kimora has the entire team multi-tasking and preparing for her shoot while conducting the kids shoot. The photographer wants her to try on the outfits she'll be modeling and Kimora is not having it. She's not sure that she's lost all the weight that she needs to loose from the "juice diet" .

After all the other kids leave Ming, Aoki and Kenzo take their photos and after refereeing a little tiff between sisters Ming and Aoki pull it together and the shoot turns out great.

The mountain shoot begins and it's pretty treacherous and challenging. Who can climb a hill in 4inch heels? Kimora finally arrives on set, without a moment to spare because the clock is ticking and they need daylight in order to finish the shoot. As soon as she sees where the shoot is taking place she looses her shyte. The woman hasn't eaten solid foods in 2 weeks so add that to everything concerning the location and she's not a happy camper.

After rushing through hair and make-up and happily fitting into her outfit it's time to climb the mountain with flip-flops. When she sees Richard, the photographer, she's ready to kill him but is too tired to do it. She looks beautiful and the clothes look great. She actually lost the weight and then some and they get the shot.

The final photos arrive and she loves it! Richard's idea was genius- another job well done!

Check back next week to see what's new and fabulous in Kimora's world!

What Chilli Wants- ep 2- "She's judging the book by its cover"

2010-04-18T20:21:00.000-07:00

Chilli and Tionna go to Turner Field where she's going to throw out the first pitch for a Braves baseball game. She's excited until Tionna tells her that they're going to announce her search for love is at the game. It's a brilliant idea because men go to sporting events. Tons of guys come up to get grilled by Tionna before they get through to Chilli. Things aren't going to well until "Dolevette" walks in. Dolevette is really handsome and had the 6-8 pack that's on Chilli's list. Chilli didn't like him but she really needs to compromise.

The next day Tionna and Chilli talk about why Chilli automatically X'd this guy out without so much as a first date. She concedes and says that she will go out with him.

Meanwhile, Floyd calls Chilli to take her out on a roller-skating date. Floyd comes out with his own custom Prada skates. They have a good time like they always do. They clearly like each other so they need to just give it a try and stop playing.

Chilli and Dolevette go out and she's turned off by the fact that he doesn't talk to his son who lives in another state "everyday". She starting to annoy me with her standards. She just doesn't like the guy. They go to some sort of obstacle course and she didn't like that he was pushing her to do this tightrope thing and then he got familiar and referred to her son as "T" and then tried to hold her hand. She thought he was egotistical and called Tionna and said that she got her one date and that's it. No more guys with egos! Chilli ALL men have egos- so good luck with that. What the hell do you think Floyd Mayweather has? The biggest ego! Ugghhhh.

Tionna meets with Dolevette to discuss his take on the date and he says that Chilli was guarded and defensive. I kinda agree- sorry Chilli.

Chili has a get together with her friends and invites Tionna to join the girls. Chilli invites a stripper- who tosses Tionna around- and Chilli says that the stripper is her type. The girls confront Chili about her and Floyd and she admits that she can see herself with Floyd. So why are we here Chili?

Will Floyd and Chili take there relationship to the next level or will she keep her options open?

Until next week...

Basketball Wives- ep 2- "Party and Dance the night away"

2010-04-18T20:10:00.000-07:00

The Basketball Wives are back and tonight Evelyn, Antonine Walker's ex, is celebrating her 34th birthday. She goes with her party planner to look at different venues for the party. She's ready to celebrate her special day and independence as a newly single woman! They go over the list and she has reservations about inviting Royce. She doesn't want any bootie shaking antics.

The next day Jennifer and Evelyn go to look for an outfit for her birthday. She's looking for her "freak-em" dress. Jennifer asks about the list and she says that if Royce gets out of line she'll handle it. No "twerking" the lady parts Royce! Keep it clean and classy- lol!

Jennifer goes to dinner with husband, b-ball player, Eric Williams. They're going through they're own relationship drama. Eric basically explains his infidelity with some ridiculous excuse. She's tired of the bs and he's a typical cheater- heard it all before!
Evelyn arrives at the party and all the guests are there- except Royce- and she turns into the topic of conversation. Evelyn's friend Rashidah and Jennifer get into it. They just don't like each other and words are exchanged. Rashidah hits below the belt and calls her fake and says that even her own husband know she's fake. Jennifer walks out for a minute to calm herself down and comes back to the table ready to turn the focus on Evelyn since it's her special day.

Royce was late because she had a surprise for Evelyn. A "special" dance. Evelyn thought the performance was just weird and not a good excuse for missing dinner. Oh Royce-smh- I think she's really trying but is just clueless about the fact that booty-shaking at a grown woman's dinner party is ridiculous. Evelyn had a great night despite the drama and is just having fun as newly single ex-nba wife!

Next week Jennifer confronts one of her husband's jump-offs- don't miss it!

Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business- ep 2

2010-04-18T19:23:00.000-07:00

The Norwood's are back and tonight we'll see what Brandy and her lace-fronts, and Ray-J with his zig-zag part, have in store for us. The two siblings hit a local radio station to promote their upcoming projects. I wonder if and when Brandy is going to address "the accident"? Anyway, they keep things light and talk about dating and of course they bring up Brandy and Flo-Rida and Ray-J and his dating show which he doesn't want to talk about. Ray-J who are you kidding? "For the love of Ray-J" and that sex tape with Kim K put you on the map so stop it!

After the radio show they go to lunch and discuss the fact that if Brandy goes to the Grammy's with Flo-rida her relationship will be out there for the world to scrutinize. Ray-J doesn't want to talk about his relationship with the most recent winner of his dating show, "Mz Berry", who he of course isn't ready to settle down with- duh!

On a completely different subject- has anyone seen the trailer for the new movie with Common and Queen Latifah- "Just Wright"? Common is looking "Right"!

Anyway- I digress. Flo-rida calls Brandy and tells her that the Grammy date is off. He's concerned about how appearing together on the red-carpet may affect their relationship. She understands but it makes her feel rejected because she got all excited to go. She discusses it with her mom and is really pissed even though it was the right decision on his part. Brandy's mom didn't want her to go either- from a mom-agers stand point.

Ray-J talks to his mom about the reunion show and Miz Berry being in love with him. He doesn't understand how someone can fall in love so fast and he doesn't know what to do. His mom tells him to just tell her the truth. He says to his mom playfully that he wants to give her some "baby mama's"-lol.

When Ray arrives on to the reunion show he tells the producers that he's not interested in pursuing his relationship with Miz Berry. She wants to give it a shot but he's not ready to settle down.

Brandy and her girls go bowling to take her mind off of the Grammy thing and they invite a bunch of guys and she's feeling much better.

Meanwhile, back at the reunion show Ray watches Miz Berry talk about how special he is and the connection they have- blah, blah. I hope the girls on these dating shows are really doing it for their "15 mins" of fame and not because they really love Ray-J- really? After watching her declare her love for him on national tv- he decides that he can't hurt her in front of an audience. Then "Cocktail" from the 1st Love of Ray-J comes out and talks ish about him. Mom tells Ray-J that he better let Cocktail have it. Sparks fly and then Sonia goes to the back and tells Cocktail that she needs to leave. When the dust settles Ray and Cocktail go to the back and she cries - like a fool- he apologizes and they kiss and make-up. You dumb broads feeding into Ray-J's ego. Miz Berry tells Ray-J that when he's ready to get his act together he can call her- good for you Miz Berry aka Connie.

Brandy goes to dinner with one of her besties, Kelly Rowland. Brandy talks about her relationship with Flo and Kelly gives her a different perspective on the situation and leaves Brandy questioning what she should do. They toast to happiness in 2010.

Ray Sr. talks to Ray Jr. about the situation with Cocktail and Miz Berry. His dad tells him that he used to be a player back in the day and he understands where his son is coming from. Willie (Ray Sr.) tells him when real love hits him he'll see it and understand it. Ray J- just focus on your career and enjoy being single.

Later that night he talks to his sister about the reunion show and he's belly-aching over Miz Berry beating him to the punch and telling him to get his act together before he had a chance to humiliate her. He calls her, not sure why because she already knew that you were full of shyte, to tell her that he's not ready for love- ugghhhh.

Will Brandy and Ray-J focus on finding love or focus on their music careers?

We'll see what happens next week.

LisaRaye The Real McCoy- ep2- "Ride 'em cowgirl"

2010-04-15T20:45:00.000-07:00

Quincy sits with LisaRaye and updates her on appointments that she has as she continues her quest to return to the spotlight. She starts by sharpening her hosting skills with a hosting coach. She goes into the class already feeling like she didn't need the extra training because she's basically been there done that. Markie, the teacher of the class doesn't help the situation because she's loud and obnoxious- but she actually knows her stuff. LisaRaye leaves the class happy that she's learned something.

Then it's off to the races. She's preparing for the black rodeo and her good friend Jamie Foxx is at the horse stable to support her as she practices. They met on the set of "Player's Club". She's an experienced rider but has never raced horses in a rodeo before.

Next up is a meeting with director Billie Woodruff about staring as a leading lady in his next film. Her goal is to take Hollywood by storm and make it back on top. I didn't know she ever really made it to the top- but you know what -if you don't think that you're the "shiz-nit" who will? She has no problem bigging herself up. Good for you LisaRaye.

Millions of Milkshakes wants LisaRaye to make her own shake. She takes Kai with her to help her come up with the perfect one. The first shake doesn't pass the taste test so they try again. LisaRaye and Kai take a sip of the second concoction and that's it! The name of the shake is- "LisaRaye's Love Thang" . She's called Kai her "love thing" for years and since the shake was a collaborative effort from both of them the name is fitting.

It's rodeo time and Lisa is fashionably late- or what I consider unfashionably late because showing up to an event that you're participating in two-hours late is just rude and unprofessional. But she planned to be that late. She watches the races before her and starts to get really nervous. The crowd cheers her on and that pumps up her up. It's a short ride because unfortunately their team gets disqualified.

No bells or whistles in this episode my friends but come back next week because LisaRaye is going back to her "Player's Club"/Diamond roots with some pole dancing in Atlanta. She'll also visit her sister "Da Brat" in jail.

See ya next time.

The Real Housewives of New York- ep 6- "All haters please stand-up"

2010-04-15T20:30:00.000-07:00

The episode starts with the introduction of the newest housewife - Sonja Morgan. She's a close friend of LuAnn's and a divorced single mother of one. She loves men and in her own words "goes well with men". Sex, yoga, good food and animals all go together in her book. I can see why her and "Countless" are friends. LuAnn talks to her about the event that she's planning to have and gets a bunch of her old clothes to donate to charity. LuAnn is such a phony baloney Beyotche!

Jill gives Bobby the letter that Bethenny gave her to give him. She uses the "toxicity" word again and basically feels like her friendship with Bethenny is over. We get it Jill- move on and stop talking about it!

Bethenny is at the South Street Seaport for a event and Alex comes to support her. She tells Alex that her father didn't forgive her and that Jill was also not interested in mending their friendship. Bethenny decides that she has too many other things going on in her life to focus on this non-forgiving stuff.

Jill and Countless meet in Central Park and LuAnn tells her about a guy that she has set her sights on. He's a Jewish man and Jill assures her that Jewish men make great husbands.

Ramona has a surprise for Mario and asks him if he wants to have a re-committment ceremony. Ramona is as bat-shyte crazy as they come and for whatever reason Mario loves her despite her manic behavior. He's no walk in the park either so I guess they deserve each other.

It's time for Brooklyn fashion week and Ramona gets some tips from the models about how she should walk the runway. The original plan was for Kelly and Alex to walk in the show but Ramona asked the designer if she could also play a model for a day.

Jill shows up to the event and immediately says how low rent she thinks the venue is. She makes a bee-line backstage and when Kelly sees her she aks her what was up with that e-mail she sent her about being friends with Bethenny. Jill said that Kelly was "ass-kissing" in a tweet to Bethenny. Kelly reminds Jill of "PR 101 and 102" which is basically a bunch of horse ca-ca. She's basically not being genuine with Bethenny so Jill doesn't have to worry about whose side she's on. For a woman that's way to close to 50 if not already in her 50's she is so immature.

During the actual show Jill sits next to Simon and slams the dresses and the models. When Ramona comes out with her eyes buldging out of her face Jill practically falls out of her chair she's laughing so hard. Ramona did look crazy but Jill couldn't wait for her and everybody else to fail. Jill leaves the show without saying goodbye or great job to any of the ladies because she's just mean and jealous.

Bethenny takes a pregnancy test and the test is positive. She calls Jason frantically and can't get him. She calls her best friend because she doesn't know what to do- as if you're supposed to actually "do" something. She's just overwhelmed with happiness.

Jill is doing a event for Kodak and LuAnn tells her that Sonja will be joining them. Jill gets Sonja's stats and wonders why she doesn't know her. Ramona arrives and asks Jill why she's teaming up with a company that's so antiquated. Ramona then asks her why she left the fashion show without saying anything nice to anybody. Jill asks her to leave and then sends over the giraffe goons- LuAnn and Kelly - to fight her battles. Disgusting! Sonja shows up and when LuAnn introduces her to Kelly she mentions that they have a friend in common- a guy named Max that they both dated and Kelly, of course, acts like she has no idea what Max she's talking about.

The event ends with Ramona confronting Kelly during Jill's speech which causes a scene. I'm sure Ramona did it purposely to upset Jill and get her back. Jill -you reap what you sow.

What kind of mess will the new housewife stir-up? Is Sonja a good replacement for Bethenny- who is getting her own show on Bravo?

We'll see what happens next week...

American Idol- "Say goodbye to two" and Adam Lambert performs

2010-04-14T19:16:00.000-07:00

Tonight two Idol hopefuls are going home thanks to last weeks save of Big Mike. Last night's homage to Elvis turned out much better than anticipated but two people in particular fell short - Andrew and Siobhan. But as we know this show is more about who's popular than who's more talented.

Before we get to the good-bye there's another lip-synced medley performance. Tonight it's a tribute to Elvis Presley and it's just painful! Is this what the "Idol Tour" looks like? Who wants to pay to see a bunch of kids sing songs that they obviously feel no connection to?

Anyway back to why we're here- the results. Andrew is the first to say good-bye just as I predicted. He takes the defeat like a real pro. He's a good kid and extremely gracious even though his dreams of being the next American Idol are no more.

Brooke and Justin perform and then have an awkward exchange with Ryan.

Next, Aaron and Casey find out that they're safe which leaves everybody else on the hot seat. Ryan calls the rest of the group to the stage and we'll soon learn the fate of another Idol hopeful.

Ryan really pisses me off with the tricks and fake-outs of who's going home and who gets to sit back down on the couch.
Crystal and Siobhan are the next to learn that they are safe and Ryan walks Lee to the couch after scaring the poor boy to death- he's safe.

So that leaves Mike, Katie and Aaron. I am surprised because I really think that Siobhan should have been 2nd Idol hopeful to go home tonight. It's anyone's game and I have no idea who's leaving.

Adam Lambert performs before we learn the fate of the final three.

Smiling Tim is the first sent back to the couch and now Mike and Katie are left.

And Katie is the one to leave the competition.

The camera cuts to Mike's wife celebrating her man's survival for another week, while all the other kids are crying on the couch. It's a little bit inappropriate but that's show business folks.

Remember there is a bright-side to this. Katie is only 17 so she can come back next year a little more seasoned and maybe even win it all.

Until next week...

Bye Katie.

Tiny and Toya (Season 2 premiere) ep 1- "Family is everything"

2010-04-13T19:46:00.000-07:00

Tiny and Toya are back for a second season of family drama. I need someone to explain to me what kind of accents these two chicks have. It's truly crazy to me. SNL has to do a skit on these two girls.

The two bff's go out to dinner and discuss TI getting out of jail and Lil' Wayne going in. Toya is concerned with how Reginae (REH-JAH-NAE) (pronounce it just like that) is going to take her daddy going away. Toya asks how Tiny's oldest daughter, Zonique (ZAH-KNEEK) (not by TI) took Tip going away. They share pain and joy just like sisters.

Toya's little brother is now living with her and going back to school. Toya sees her brother off as he boards the school bus. At 17, he's looks kind of old for her to see him off on the school bus but family is everything to her and it makes her feel responsible. Toya's mother is back with her also and Toya is going to look for rehab facilities for her. Toya goes to visit the facility and talks to the director of the program. She's hopeful and confident that her mom will finally beat her drug addiction.

Tiny and her parents go to see the doctor about her dads Alzheimers. I can appreciate Tiny's close relationship with her dad. The doctor tells them that her dad needs to continue to perform and sing because it's helpful for his memory. Tiny sits with her mom after the doctor visit and when she talks about her husband she gets really upset and starts to cry. Tiny holds on to whatever is left of her dad and just wants to spend as much time as she can with him.

Toya's estranged brother Walter comes to her house. He did ten years in jail. When Toya comes in the house she says hello to everybody and Walter doesn't speak. He and Toya go to the kitchen and start to go at it and Toya tells him that she has some things that she wants to tell him outside because it's gonna get ugly.
When they talk Toya expresses that she really just wants to have a good relationship with him. In the end they hug it out. Family is family.

Toya calls Tiny and asks if Walter can come to her house and use her studio to record some rap lyrics that he wrote in jail. Rudy, Toya's little brother, comes home from his first day of school and the whole family is waiting to here how things went. Toya said it felt like an episode of "The Brady Bunch" and it feels good.

Tiny and her partner Keisha are working in the studio with her girl group "Juice". She sees alot of the same problems that she experienced with "Xscape" with this girl group and thinks that she may have to put the group on hold for a bit.

These two have a lot going on in their lives and family is at the top of the list. You gotta give them some credit for trying- SMH.

Are you gonna watch this season? See ya next week...
