Never count Bethenny out! Does anything she tries, fail? Rarely! If Ellen DeGeneres is involved, how can it not happen? Following reports just a few weeks ago that Bethenny’s attempts at getting her own daytime talk show had failed, news of her new show is released today! Congratulations Bethenny! Here’s what she said on her blog:
I have exciting news for you guys! The queen of too much information is coming to DAYTIME!
It is going to be an exciting journey and I can’t wait for you to join me.
Thanks for being so loyal and supportive, without you, this wouldn’t be happening.
See you all this summer on Fox!
Xo,
Bethenny

She’s not playing, she gave the story to Forbes: (who else?)
I have exciting news for you guys,” reality star and millionaire Bethenny Frankel wrote on her blog today. “The queen of too much information is coming to DAYTIME!”
On the heels of the word this month that Frankel’s Bravo reality showBethenny Ever After would make its third season its last, Fox announced today that a six-week run of Telepictures-produced Bethennywould begin airing this summer.
“A year ago, we determined there was a need in the marketplace for a show that
According to the announcement, made at the annual National Association of Television Programming Executives conference, which kicked off yesterday, Bethenny will run on select Fox Television Stationsincluding WNYW New York and KTTV Los Angelesin a six week test.
Ellen DeGeneres, who stars in her own talk show produced by Telepictures, will serve as executive producers alongside Frankel.
While a test-run is no sure thing, Frankel is, as always, in rose-colored glasses. And she’s rallying the troops: with an average weekly audience of 1.5 million built into Team Bethenny on TV and a quarter million fans on both Facebook and Twitter, she’s one star who understands the power of a loyal fan base.
Here’s hoping it translates to eyeballs this summer.
Best of luck to Bethenny, I hope it is everything she wants and more! She deserves it! Lynn~

Tabatha Takes Over by BB
Tabatha goes back to her roots (no pun intended) tonight and takes over a struggling hair salon. In the previews, I heard the word “boughetto,” and wondered if I knew the meaning of the word or if I just thought I knew it. So I went online to look up the definition.
It wasn’t listed in the Meriam Webster dictionary and I didn’t think it would be. However, it was listed in the Urban Dictionary. Here is the definition of Boughetto: “Someone, usually a female, who wants to be bougie, but who is in reality ghetto.” So what does “bougie” mean? Well, it means “Aspiring to be a higher class than one is. Derived from bourgeois – meaning middle upper class, traditionally despised by communists.”
I think we all know what ghetto means, but I’ll include that definition from the Urban Dictionary while I’m at it: 1. (n) an impoverished, neglected or otherwise disadvantaged residential area of a city, usually troubled by a disproportionately large amount of crime; 2. (adj.) urban; of or relating to (inner) city life. Now that we’ve had our English class for the evening, let’s get to the Takeover.
The Salon is called Beyond Hair Salon and Spa located in Cherry Hill, NJ. It has been in business for 7 years. The owner, Aisha McKenzie, tells Tabatha her vision for her salon is to have an upscale, multi-cultural salon. She wants to be known internationally, but she said her staff are maniacs who don’t follow the rules. She describes her staff as lazy and complainers. She’s $90,000 in debt. She has a husband and three kids. She’s stressed and exhausted. She starts crying and tells Tabatha she just lost her mom to breast cancer and she just doesn’t even have the energy to deal with things. Tabatha tells her she knows she’s been through a lot of life and death things and asks her if she’s prepared to be present in her business again. She says yes.
They look at the footage that Tabatha has gotten that day. First, the receptionist, Valerie, talks on the phone all day and calls her boss a bitch to the person she’s talking. She is also very loud. Monica, a stylist, screams across the salon at Aisha. They are both yelling at each other across the salon. Her newly promoted salon manager, Diona, is not managing the appointments and people are waiting over 2 hours for their stylists. Nikeyra, the assistant is over emotional and Aisha grabs her face to try to calm her down. Not 
professional according to Tabatha. One of the clients gets burned by Nikeyra by the curling iron. Tabatha tells Aisha she’s really in trouble and she is nowhere near being a high-end salon. Tabatha takes the keys.
The staff is goofing around booty-dancing when Tabatha walks in and she tells everyone to stop the BS and come to the front. Valerie is chewing gum and wearing flip flops and Tabatha calls her on it. Nothing is in the sitting area except a hard metal bench for the clients. Aisha’s work station is messy because Nikeyra was suspended for two weeks and had not been there. There is a VIP area that they only use once or twice a week, so that’s pretty much wasted space. It has one chair, a tripod without a camera and looks like a hospital room. Tabatha says Aisha has a long way to go and she doesn’t think Aisha can do it.
The next morning, Tabatha meets with the staff only to get their point of view. They are very quiet. Valerie says she’s nervous because she’s wearing open toe shoes. Tabatha asks her if she owns a pair that aren’t open toed and she says she went out the night before and bought a pair, but they were killing her feet. Tabatha says rules are rules and Valerie tells Tabatha she will put them on.
Tabatha asks the staff what they think the Beyond experience should be. Tabatha tells them she shouldn’t have to listen to them yell across the room, she shouldn’t have to wait because they are triple-booked. Monica speaks up and says Aisha is the definition of Boughetto and in her TH calls her a bitch. Some of the other things said about Aisha are that she PMSes 30 days out of the month, she’s Ms. DeVille, and she has multiple personalities. The staff thinks she hasn’t taken the time to grieve the loss of her mother. Diona says she hasn’t been given the authority to implement changes needed.
Tabatha brings in models so that she can assess the stylists’ work. Monica confers with her client in a very mellow and professional manner and Tabatha asks why she’s so different from the day before. Monica explains that it’s a new client and Tabatha tells her she should be treating ALL her clients that way. Monica agrees. Aisha confers with her client and Tabatha reminds her to ask her client if she’s ever had her hair that short since the picture is of short hair. She tells her if she’s is going to refer to herself as the Hair Doctor, she needs to act like one. Aisha says she does.
Tabatha pulls Monica aside and asks her if she knows what Aisha means by getting ethnic clients in and being able to service the hair with the “Beyond” system that she has, but nobody seems to know what this system is. Monica tells her that beyond a blow dry and flat ironing, they aren’t sure what she means by the system. So Tabatha meets with the assistants and gives them a model to shampoo and do a blow dry.
Valerie goes to Tabatha complaining about her feet hurting. Tabatha tells her she wears shoes every day and works in them and for her to suck it up. Valerie just rolls her eyes. Meanwhile, Monica accidentally spills scalp protector all over her client’s face because the top isn’t on tight. The Beyond experience is a total disaster.
Tabatha tries to give some flat ironing tips to Nikeyra and the other assistant, but Nikeyra is giving attitude and doesn’t seem to want to learn and that’s a problem. Tabatha catches Valerie using her cell phone on the floor and takes her phone away and tells Aisha she has to have consequences to people breaking the rules.
Monica finishes her client with some suggestions from Tabatha and seems open to Tabatha’s critique. Aisha has problems with her hair cut and doesn’t seem open to Tabatha’s assistance, so Tabatha says forget it and leaves. The assistants seem happy at the end of the day, even Nikeyra is smiling.
Time for a one on one between Aisha and Tabatha. She tells Aisha what the staff has told her, including the Boughetto remarks. Tabatha tells Aisha she has alienated her staff so much that they don’t want to help her make things better. Tabatha also tells her both she and the staff thinks Aisha needs to take time to grieve over her mom’s death and not take it out on them. Aisha says she needs time to marinate over what she has just heard. Tabatha tells her to take the rest of the day, take it all in, marinate it, and if she wants to save her business, be there the next morning at 9:00 a.m.
The next day, Tabatha brings in actual clients to talk to Aisha. The first hasn’t been there for two years and used to feel beautiful every time Aisha did her hair. The appointments were on time and she felt important, but towards the end she would be there for hours. The last time she came it was for a very important event. She came in early and had people waiting for her because she was there all day. The second client said the first thing that surprised her was the way she mistreated her employees terribly and nobody should take that kind of abuse. The third client said it was very noisy with people yelling and phones ringing constantly. The last client says that’s an everyday event and she was burnt the last time she was there and that was not acceptable. One client says it started going downhill when her mom was first diagnosed with breast cancer and Aisha could not handle being an owner, a wife, a mother and a daughter. Aisha knows if they all are saying it, it must be true.
Tabatha wanted Aisha to hear it from others because she was not hearing it from Tabatha. She tells Aisha she needs to lead by example and Aisha says she gets it. Tabatha feels like she’s finally getting through to her. The next step is to get the team in shape.
Tabatha takes Aisha and her staff to a cancer support group so they can coordinate an 
event for those going through cancer treatment. They write messages of hope, wishes, prayers on pink balloons and talk to other cancer patients, relatives, and survivors. One particular woman tells Aisha her own mother died from breast cancer and she now has lung cancer. After talking to everyone, the staff realizes their issues are so small compared to what these women are going through. It was a team building experience.
Aisha tells her staff she’s ready to make a change and her staff says it makes them feel like a team. The blue VIP room has gotta go. The staff is glad to see those blue curtains come down. They will be back on re-opening day ready to show what they have learned and what they can do as a team.
On re-opening day, the staff comes back to a gorgeous salon with a new front desk, new sign, new waiting area with seating, new chairs and mats, and re-finished stations. They are now Bougie. The old VIP area is now a processing area. The walls are Aisha’s mom’s favorite color. Val is wearing a pair of heels. She still thinks the shoe rule will go down the tubes right after Tabatha leaves and she will be wearing her flip flops soon.
Tabatha tells them to act professionally, especially the assistants. She asks Diona to develop a community event for the team. It’s time for them to get their stations ready for the clients. Right away Tabatha sees a group standing around the front desk. Nikeyra is asking for her birthday off. Tabatha asks her if she’s kidding since she just had a couple of days off and it’s a brand new start. Why isn’t she getting the stations ready and not asking for a day off until the end of the day. Nikeyra in her TH says she doesn’t care if she gets fired. Monica is changing her shoes in the front and Tabatha asks her to please change her shoes in the back and not the front.
Monica calls the day a success and says Aisha has gone from Cruella DeVille to Glenda the Good Witch. Diona has come up with an event idea and thinks Aisha is going to be capable of change. Diona seems to be managing the salon very calmly. A new client comes in who has just moved to town. Valerie tells her without even checking with someone, that they are booked and cannot take her. When Diona approaches, Valerie finds someone in the book who will be able to take her the new client.
Tabatha finds the two assistants cleaning up. One assistant is telling Nikeyra not to use dirty towels to clean out the sinks. Nikeyra is laughing about it and Tabatha tells her she either wants to work there or not and it’s not funny.
Time for the recommendation talk with Aisha. Tabatha says Aisha was a different woman today by being so calm and focused. They talk about the Beyond brand and what it means. Tabatha would put Nikeyra on probation and Aisha agrees. Tabatha thinks Diona will work out fine and Aisha agrees. Tabatha asks Aisha if Valerie is the Beyond Brand.
Tabatha and Aisha meet with the staff. Aisha tells them they are going to the next level and hopes everyone wants to come. She tells Diona she will have the power she needs to manage. Tabatha asks Valerie if she’s going to follow the rules and she says she will. If not, Aisha will let her go. Tabatha hopes Valerie is not there when she comes back to check on their progress. As for Nikeyra, Aisha wants her to rise up to the Beyond standard and her probation will continue. She wants her to succeed. Aisha gets her keys back.
Six weeks later, Tabatha is back at Beyond. Monica tells her it’s gotten a lot better and the clients love being there. Diona says Aisha is doing great and her job has become a lot easier. Nikeyra and Valeria are no longer employed there. Another success story.
BB! Outstanding job as always! Thank you! xo Lynn~

Dance Moms by Kara
Hey all! It’s time for Dance Moms Week 3!!
Last week, we saw Cathy try to cheat and enter her girls in the wrong age division to beat Abby. Christy then called Cathy the “Geriatric mean girl”!! hahaha. Ready? Set? GOOO
Abby starts out by congratulating the girls. She announces that their next competition is Starbound in New Jersey.
Nia is at the bottom of the pyramid, because she messed up the choreography. Kendall is next, because she was off of the music. Paige is next because she blends. Mackenzie is next, and she is doing a solo! OMG! MADDIE IS NEXT!!! Wow. What a surprise… Abby wants her to stop resting on being the best, and she wants her to constantly improve. Melissa said that Abby probably wanted to give the other girls a chance. Chloe is next, and everyone is happy that she is ahead of Maddie. Brooke is on top! That’s so exciting for Brooke. She did a great job last week with her solo. Abby says that she wants Brooke to be a role model, but Brooke says that she doesn’t want to be a role model. Maddie and Chloe are going head to head… this is very interesting.
The group dance is called “born to dance”, and it’s about a little girl being born…sounds pretty creepy. Abby tells Brooke that she should take the lead, and that she shouldn’t let her down…foreshadowing anyone? Abby wants it to be about a girl being born…and the girls are put into the fetal position… the moms are mad that the girls are being exposed to these subjects so early on.
Melissa says that the pyramid sucks because she hates that Maddie wasn’t on the top…the mothers are reveling in the moment. She doesn’t think that it’s fair that even though Maddie was the highest scorer, she was still on the bottom. Brooke says that she loved being on the top, but Abby is being way too hard on her, and she wants to try cheerleading.
The next scene, Brooke is at her school’s football game, and a cheerleader is trying to get 
her to try out. Brooke reveals that she wants to cheer instead, and not get yelled at as much. At her house, Kelly goes into Brooke’s room and they talk about Brooke skipping the competition to try out for cheerleading. Kelly says that Abby is going to kill them if she tries to miss the competition, but she wants to support Brooke and she doesn’t want Brooke to resent her when she’s older. Poor Brooke is at a really strange stage in her life, and she wants to be more independent. I feel bad for her, but it would make me sad if she didn’t keep pursuing dance. She’s an extremely talented dancer.
The next scene is Mackenzie’s solo rehearsal, and she looks adorable! I love Mackenzie…Abby says that Mackenzie proved herself, and that her solo is adorable. Then Mackenzie says that she loves dancing with the girls…I love her.
The moms are drinking at a bar, and Kelly tells them that Brooke wants to try out for cheerleading. Melissa says that she wouldn’t let Maddie try something in the middle of a season…which actually makes sense.
Maddie says that she’s nervous to go against Chloe, but she’s not scared because she’s not intimidated by anyone. Melissa says that Maddie has a good chance because she is dancing at a higher level. Chloe’s rehearsal is next, and she says that she thinks that she has a great chance of winning. Christi says that she’ll give Maddie a run for her money.
The group is practicing, and Abby stops them and asks where Brooke is. Maddie says that she doesn’t know what’s happening with Brooke, because Brooke always says that she hates dance, and her mood varies day by day. She says that she knows that’s what being a teenager is all about…once again, Maddie is a genius.
Abby is already berating the girls, and Kelly is scared to tell Abby that Brooke isn’t coming. Abby confronts Kelly, and Kelly says that Brooke probably isn’t coming this weekend because of cheerleading. Abby says that Kelly is letting her 13-year-old dictate the entire group’s future. She says that Brooke should’ve spoken up and let someone else be at the top. As a result, Abby cuts the entire group routine. The moms are angry that the girls are all being cut. Christi says that she’s supporting Kelly and Brooke, and Abby calls her an asshole… so uncalled for. This woman is so out of control it’s ridiculous. I understand her being angry, but the way she handles things is completely outlandish.
The moms say that they are a team, and Abby says they can go be a team somewhere else, and it’s her way or the highway. Abby says that either the group goes and her name is removed from the dance, or they don’t go at all. Abby tells Kelly that Brooke shouldn’t have quit in the middle of the season, which I totally agree with. Abby says that the assistant choreographer will help them rehearse, because she won’t. Nia says that Miss Abby should have faith in them, because they will win. The girls look happy on the bus, and then Abby shows up to ruin the fun. She didn’t want to throw her assistant under the bus, so to speak. She decides to go with them.
Cathy calls Melissa and wants to meet. Melissa is being too nice, and Abby is telling Melissa to stop being so nice. Cathy reveals that they’re going to New Jersey too. Abby tells them not to reveal that Brooke isn’t in the group, because Cathy would have a field day. She tells them that they better win, or else.
Abby says that starbound is looking for more, and that they have to win. She tells them to remember that Brooke doesn’t exist. Christi says the girls are under a ton of pressure.
Cathy says that their “Nemis” is there…woman is an idiot. She instructs her girls not to let 
Abby psych them out. Christi says she won’t start anything with Cathy, unless she starts first. It’s Mackenzie’s solo time, and Abby tells her if she forgets, she’ll chop off her head. So sweet.
Mackenzie does her solo, and she looks so adorable! I love her. She does everything perfectly. Even Abby says that she nailed it.
Cathy picks some sort of idiotic fights about the seating. Chloe is practicing her solo, and says that she thinks that she can beat Maddie. Chloe doesn’t look nervous at all. She does her solo, and she looks amazing! The solo is great, but it’s actually a little boring and slow… Abby says Chloe looks beautiful, but she saw mistakes that Chloe made.
Maddie is next, and she says that she feels confident. She thinks she can win even though it’s a jazz routine. I love way this girl dances. It just looks so natural and strong. But for some reason, like Chloe’s dance, it’s a little boring. Abby says that Maddie looks like she’s a paid entertainer.
Cathy notices that Brooke’s not there, and that she’s probably trying out for cheerleader…
pan over to Brooke’s school, and Brooke is trying out. She’s having trouble calling out the chants. Brooke makes the squad, and she’s super excited. Kelly’s happy for Brooke, but she’s also disappointed that Brooke is turning her back on something she’s been doing her entire life.
Results time! Mackenzie wins her division! That’s so great. Love her. She says she wants to win a lot, just like Maddie. Maddie gets third in her division. Melissa says that Maddie was jipped. Chloe wins! That is so great for Chloe…she beat Maddie! Christi looks so proud. I’m happy for Chloe. Abby told Melissa that Maddie didn’t win because Maddie looked to professional for the judges, and since Chloe messed up some turns, she won because she didn’t look professional. That’s a crock of crap, and she knows it. You can really tell who her favorites are!
It’s group number time! Cathy’s girls say good luck, but, once again, they look really…old. Of course Vivi’s randomly thrown into it. I have no idea why she’s always in there. It’s odd. Cathy’s girls look great, but the dance was meh… Abby says that Vivi was used as a human prop to bring the age group down to her girls’ level. She hopes the judges notice this attempt at cheating.
The girls do their group number, and they look absolutely perfect. Even Kendall is right on the music with the other girls. They really look beautiful. Abby is so proud that they succeeded without her. Nia says that they’re taking Candy Apples down…and they do! The apples get 8th. Christi says “how do you like them apples?” haha love her. Abby’s girls win! Abby doesn’t deserve this win. She didn’t even want her name attached the day before.
Cathy looks humiliated…Abby wants to go tell Cathy’s girls congrats. Also, Abby wants the 
bee costume that Vivi wore last season. Cathy says that she gave it to the Goodwill. Melissa is in disbelief, and Christi speaks up. Cathy calls her a disco ball and then makes fun of Christi’s nose again. For someone who has been made fun of for having a big nose my entire life, I want to go in and slap Cathy personally. Cathy keeps putting her hands on Christi, and I commend her for not beating the shit out of Cathy. I would’ve.
Next week, Payton is invited into the group, so that means her crazy mom is back. That woman is insane!!
Well, I hope you all enjoyed this week’s dance moms! If you love me, follow me on Twitter @kqs5041
Love you all!
Thanks Kara! Great job with Dance Moms! Lovin it! Lynn~
Preview of Bravo’s new show, Shahs of Sunset:
This show seems to be right up Bravo’s alley, a group of spoiled and big-headed people who don’t appreciate what they have. It reminds me of that Miami show they aired not too long ago. What do you all think?

Check out Andy Cohen’s latest Video Blog:
Andy talks about Twitter and how difficult it is to respond to all viewer questions and comments. He mentions that he doesn’t want to delegate someone else to Tweet for him and I totally agree! If people continue to complain that he doesn’t respond to everything the only way to fix that is to have an assistant do his Tweeting for him, no one wants that! I believe that they truly do read them all or at least as many as possible, Andy and other Bravo cast members respond to what they choose to, leave them alone! This trend of allowing someone else to Tweet for you is disturbing!
Andy reveals his book title, “Most Talkative”
Andy’s most recent written blog (from Tuesday):
Wait, did last night happen? Sometimes I ask myself that the morning after an especially wacky show. The answer is always YES.
First of all, I’m so glad RHOBH ended on a high, happy note with Pandora’s wedding. It was fun to go inside of it, and when Lisa showed up at WWHL she was in tears, having just watched it for the second time.
Not only did she let me feel her butt on live TV to prove to the world that there aren’t implants in the badonk (I didn’t feel any), Brandi revealed during Plead the Fifth that she had a weeklong fling with Gerard Butler. And Uggie, the dog from The Artist, appeared to collect his Mazel of the Day in person and I got a good face lickin’!
After the show I went to the party for Madonna’s new movie W.E. at the top of the Standard and chatted with the icon. She gave me a fantastic preview of the MadonnaBowl, but I promised her I wouldn’t share what she said. It’s safe to say it’s going to be a lot of epic packed into twelve minutes. I cannot wait.
Speaking of music legends, tonight Mary J. Blige is on WWHL! That’s going to be exciting.
I turned in my book yesterday for the final time. I feel light as a feather. So I can happily tell you to look for Most Talkative in stores May 8th and know it will actually be there!
________________________________________________________________
Danawilkey I’ll blog about Brandi and I on danawilkey.com in a week under BS Alert. I need time to digest it. xx
What a joke! She’s going to blog about Brandi and “I” (by the way Dana, it’s Brandi and ME) Who really needs her to re-hash the whole thing? Keep it Dana! We’re over it!
Brandi has let it go, but Dana is going to re-open it all right around the time that the 
reunion airs because she won’t be getting any attention. This woman is the ultimate fame whore and will do ANYTHING to get back on the show next season, she’s trying to stay relevant and even negative attention is feeding her craving. Sickening!
I am so over Dana Wilkey, she needs to go the way of “she who must not be named” and disappear!

MissKittyPerils @LynnNChicago Lynn, what a pleasure to meet. Thanks for taking the time. You’re intriguing and I enjoyed our convo. Talk soon xo
Until Next Time…
Morning all. Have a good day.
Morning, Powell! Hope you are having a great day!
I like Bethenney, but I just can’t see her has a talk show host. At all.
How many people do you think under-estimates Bethenny.
Most of them.
I don’t think I’m underestimating. I guess it depends on the format of the show, but I can’t picture her being Ellen without putting her foot way in her mouth somewhere along the line.
I think she’d do better at a format somewhat like Rachael Rae’s… she usually does a somewhat short interview with celebrity but she has a lot of different interesting and usually informative segments. Bethenny’s a chef, so she could even do cooking segments. I think she’d do good at something like that. Not so sure about a format like Ellen’s where it’s mostly interviewing. We’ll see. Of course I’m rooting for her and wishing her great success. I know I’ll watch.
I like Bethenny too, but in limited doses. I do like that she says what she wants, but that could be a detriment on a talk show.
Bethenney’s voice kind of does my head in and my husband can’t stand her. I don’t see me watching it, especially if DH is in the room/
Good morning everyone. I am really happy that Ellen in on board for Bethenny’s new show. I think it will be the perfect fit. Ellen really knows how to keep the show moving without making her guests feel rushed. She brings out the best in everyone that is one no matter who they are. Bethenny will do well if she learns from Ellen.
Ok i don’t know what I just posted and I am off to find my reading glasses.
I agree AZGirl, what better mentor than Ellen!
Bethenny is a lucky lady!
I think she’s got a reasonable chance of it being successful. She can think on her feet and will ask good questions. She hasn’t grown up being an entertainer like some of the more successful talk show hosts – so they’ll have to figure out a format that works for her – certainly not the Ellen/Rosie format.
This is the big leagues and it’s great that she’s getting a shot. She’s definitely got a little something something.
I bet it will be like a Rachel Ray show, cooking and having stars on with semi scripted ?’s that the stars will answer.
lol… I always respond as I read… I said the same thing above. Guess we’re on the same wavelength and can figure out what’s best for Bethenny. LOL
Good morning kids. Great job on the recaps BB and Kara. I fell asleep at 8:30 last night so I watched nothing. Your recaps make me feel like I am right there! I truly cannot watch Dance Moms. Those women make me embarrassed to be a mom! I’ve had to heal with some crazy parents when my kids were in various sports, etc. but these women take the cake. Thanks for taking one for the team Kara so I don’t have to watch.
Jules, did you have to heal with crazy parents or deal with them. If heal, what did you mean by that?
Oops, I meant DEAL with crazy parents. Sorry!
I suspected that. Though heal sounded a lot more intrigueing.
What is this Dance Moms show? I’ve never seen it, I don’t even know what channel it’s on, but so far from these recaps these women sound unbearable.
Lin42, Dance Moms comes on the Lifetime network. They show lots of reruns. Check the schedule in your area.
Lin42 beware. You’ll want to pull your hair out if you watch that show. I’ll watch a lot of crazy shows but can’t watch it.
guess i’ll have to watch the talk show.
i can’t imagine bethenny in a typical talk show format doing interviews, etc.
but i can see her doing food demos ala rachel ray.
rachel ray seems like a bitch in sheep’s clothing whereas bethenny does seem like a pal.
it’ll be interesting if nothing else.
I can’t stand Rachel Ray. Her voice makes me want to scream.
yep
Ditto
Oh I am so glad you said that. I thought I was the only one. I’d really rather listen to nails on a chalkboard. She works my last nerve and I don’t even know her.
I like Rachael and she does some really great segments. Not too fond of her cooking though… she makes some really weird stuff if you ask me and uses too much mustard… yuck.
Oh thank God I’m not the only one. She gets on my nerves. I’m proud of Bethenny. I will love it if she has Lynn on!!!
February Birthdays are coming soon! Post your birthday if you haven’t already!
Birthstone: Amethyst
Flower: Violet or Primrose
Traits: Peace, balance, courage, & sincerity
Thanks for the Dance Moms recap Kara. I love love love that show. I was in the bleachers with those moms for years and years (not literally of course) – and the only thing that seems fake to me is the yelling -the ones I was with were much more passive aggressive – or snippy behind the coaches backs. We only had a few yellers – and they were usually encouraged to leave.
My only issue is I’m getting kind of bored of Chloe, Maddie, and Brooke’s dancing. While the routines are sort of new each week, they seem recycled – or the moves are. I think it would be a little more interesting if they showed more routines from other dancers – but kept the same set of moms and girls for the storylines. Have we even seen Paige dance yet?
no, we haven’t. Abby claims that Paige is always blending and doesn’t stand out…the one time that she was given a solo she forgot and choked on stage.
I read an interesting interview with Abby (I think she mentioned Paige forgetting her routine in it) that talked about how the last 6 episodes of last year were different because they had already finished their season -and presumable if they filmed during the regular competition season there would be other girls – ie the rest of her team – competing as well – so they are probably there at some competitions but we don’t see them.
I can’t figure out how dance works – are there a whole set of talent competitions – each with their own nationals? In gymnastics there are only 2 – and only that counts for anything. It seems like dance is more like pageants.
only ONE (sorry)
If it’s anything like competitive baton was in the 80′s, you earned points for the “big one” by going to all the little ones. The Pittsburgh comp last year was in warm weather so my radar is on. I’m gonna be looking, and try to go watch and scoop it out. Lol. I suspect there are older girls who compete as well since she called for the older girls last night; however, the show is based on the lil ones. I think I just convinced mom for another trip to the studio during business hours this time. Gotta let the foot heal some then I’m paparazzi’ing. Also checking out Oliver’s Twist bar. Lol
There are dozens and dozens of competitions out there. All of which are completely separate entities. Some are smaller and tend to be more local and some are bigger names that tend to draw the higher level studios. Each competition has its own nationals where the top winners are invited to compete against the other top winners from around the country.
Ages for group/line/production numbers are determined by the median age of the dancers by a certain date ( for instance Jan 15). So if you have 3 15 year olds and a 9 year old they would compete in the 14 year old age group. that is why Cathy keeps putting in Vivvie because it brings the age of the group down. This has always been a common practice, but in solos it is very rare, at least in the vein that people rarely get caught since people don’t generally ask for birth certificates or challenge anyone ages. You keep them on file at the studio just in case, but I never had to produce one or have seen anyone else have to. That was stupid of Cathy and it didn’t look like Abby was the one who challenged it.
I think a lot of this show is staged. Noone learns a new dance every week, or changes the solo music the night before a comp. The competition forms have to be in the hands of the competition 30-45 days in advance so they are aware of what has been entered or at least who is doing it well in advance. You can enter a piece as “untitled” which means they can kind of pick which solo to do that day, but it was already entered into the category ( jazz/ballet/open) on the entry forms. It is also highly unusual for a PA group to travel to Nashville or NC just for a regional.
Interesting – thank you!
Good Morning!!!
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/01/taylor-armstrong-abuse-real-housewives-didn-t-believe
Interesting – they basically say over and over again that because her stories were inconsistent, ever changing, and there was never any evidence, no one believed her. They never say if any of them now believe her – heh.
It looks like they are trying to keep their options open in case she does have some sort of proof – but at the same time aren’t willing to say they believe her.
Zackly!
Zackly tabloid press. There may be a grain of truth to the article, but unless I hear it from the cast member own mouths in living color, maybe at the reunion, then this is just more trash press with a tacky bone to pick. There seems to be a entire press industry being built around Reality TV, which we all know, is not real to begin with.
Mmm hmm.
I wonder when and if it’s proven she lied about Domestic abuse, will the ladies continue to support her. Reports are that they will all be at her book signing. Will there be hecklers? How this relationship is going to affect how the public views the other ladies?
I can’t wait for her Amazon reviews to hit the internet. Lol.
you and me both! Has anyone here preordered it? I promise not to judge (too harshly, lol)
You know she’s taking a page out of “she who shall not be named” book.
Let me give you an update on my dentist appointment. I arrived about 15 minutes early. (cold and no heater in car) I was sitting waiting and I started vomiting. Over and Over again – all over me – the carpet and everything. Needless to say we decided this was not the day to do this. The dentist gave me something for pain and we got it filled and came home. I took it and slept for about 20 hours. Feel better this morning. So I’ll make another appointment latter this week and we will go again.
Oh, no! I hope your second trip goes much smoother and I’m glad you’re feeling better.
Oh dear… Sounds like a bad stomach bug you had, zanne.
Happy to hear you’re feeling better now.
oh so sorry zanne… that sounds awful. Glad you’re feeling better now. Good luck next time.
You poor thing. Glad you are feeling better.
OMG Zanne. So sorry you went through that & still have to go back. On the bright side it’s good you had a nice long sleep. Feel better.
Oh dear, feel better soon .
Zanne, that sound miserable. You poor dear.
Thanks for all the delicious blogs! Tabitha should visit Abbey Lee Studios….that would be epic!
My money would be on Tabatha.
I’ll have to back Abby Lee.
What I’d like to see is Brad style Abby and the moms.
Great idea Windy! I would pay money to watch that battle! I know Tabatha would win too.
Just wanted to say to Michelle that I loved your Fashion blog on the Housewives. Great job and I totally agree with your assessments. Hope it opens some doors for you!!
Ditto! Michelle you are very good at what you do. Love your fashion blog!
Mazel,
I don’t know if you saw several days ago that I thanked you for getting me addicted to Downton Abbey! If you didn’t see it, I’m saying it now! THANK YOU!! ***just bought the dvd series off pbs***
I did see it DeeDee and I’m glad that you love it too. Such an antidote to what we’ve been watching. I am really busy these days so my time here is precious and sometimes it’s too late to comment or I forget!!
Isn’t it good DeeDee? Love PBS.
Good morning!!
Yay! For Betyenny!!! Glad she she getting her day time talk show
and glad Ellen is helping or has something to do with it.
Yay! Andy is done with his book!! Hope it is a good one
I hope Brandi DOES come back to BH!!
I agree about twitter (and FB) the stars can’t read and answer every question. I am sure they try, but it would be too difficult. Unless they are me who have only a handful of “friends”
I see some people make some kind of comment some times, saying how dum for others to think that they will get an answer. I think that offends the twitter or FB owner and the followers. I do think Thayer they will probably not read my comments, so I don’t, but sometimes I can’t help myself than to write something. ThEre is a reason why we are following, we care, but I don’t get “hurt” if there is no answer. All I really want is to follow to see what is going on, and to show my support.
Yay!! On the Chicago get together
I am sure you guys will have a lot of fun AND Better tell us all about it 
I hope we all have a nice day
MichelleNY — I finally read your fashion blog about BH. I like it and totally agree. May I say thoug, that I don’t know about Kyle. Maybe on the picture you posted, she is fine, but she seems to have made bad decisions on most of the events. Before I read your blog, I had just seen a picture of the BH ladies and was thinking that she was the one who didn’t really pick a nice dress. She is pretty and must have a nice body, but the dresses dont flatter her much and then she isconstantly moving it or touching it. That proves to me she is not comfortable in it, and so maybe even she knows it doesn’t look good. I hope its ok I mentioned that, but LOVED the blog and what you said about her in regards to what she is wearing in that picture comparing it to Kim’s.
Talking about fashion and bad dresses, I got to find something to wear. See you guys later
I agree completely! I think I mentioned how Kyle doesn’t usually have a good sense of style. Her problem I think is that she feels like she is too fat. She is definitely not the skinniest housewife, but her body is pretty good. Her insecurity doesn’t let her choose flattering clothing that work for her body. She’s always wearing billowy clothes to mask her midsection, but those clothes are often not only unflattering but also not very fashion forward. The only reason one should think about wearing oversized clothes is to make a fashion statement, not to hide your body. That attitude makes a difference in how oversized and billowy clothes look on the person
I agree. I do think Kyle is uncomfortable with her weight. I think it was Kyle that mentioned that a size two is big in Beverly Hills. It’s hard to tell her size because of the clothing she wears but I don’t think she does herself any favors by wearing what she does. Even at the beach or by the pool she’s entirely covered up. It’s a shame because I don’t think she looks as bad as she thinks she does. And it’s true, oversized clothing makes one look bigger than they are no matter the size. I enjoyed your blog too Michelle… hope you do it for the other franchises as well.
I do not think that Kyle is fat. I think she is slightly out of shape. Because she judges others so harshly she feels insecure about being out of shape. I get the impression that she and Kim are very undisciplined when it comes to self improvement. They expect people and things to change around them with no desire to change themselves.
She does love her hair but it is too long for her age and it is willfully not styled. She hides behind it, plays with it, wields it like a weapon. You can tell when she is about to go to war with someone by the way she positions her hair.
Fox picked up Bethenny’s show. Oh no…………………what about the Beverly Jillbillies???????
JZ must be making Bawby’s life miserable right now!!!!!!!!
Sue that’s what I said.
I have a question about Bethenny show…is it only going to air in LA and NYC? Did I read that correctly?
I think it’s great that she is getting this opportunity and I will be pulling for her. I love that she is self-made, grateful for her success, and keenly self-aware. I love success stories and hers is pretty darned impressive.
It’ll air in select markets including those two. I had to read that twice.
Thanks Pchck – I just want to make sure I don’t miss it.
How are you feeling?
Boobah, I think the producers want to make sure that Jill Z. and Illana A. get to see the show. LOL!!!
CaP –
Lol!
Wouldn’t it be great to catch a glimpse of either of their faces as they watch the first few mintues of Bethenny’s show (you *know* they will watch)!?
I don’t agree that Brooke should have been forced to dance the remainder of the season. As a dance mom myself – I can tell you that there is no dance “season” – Dance is a year long committment. There are competitions in all seasons and we have spent thousands traveling to tournaments. There is no convenient time to drop out. I applaud Brooke’s mom for allowing her to have some fun as a teenager. Dance has this ability to isolate kids. While I would not condone this for a regular season sport – such as basketball or baseball where there is a clearly defined start and finish – you can’t place the same logic on dance. What 13 year old wants to spend 365 days a year with 7-10 year olds and not be with friends – traveling to competition every weekend – not having sleepovers – no time for friends. You have to have an extremely committed child driven to succeed to keep that up for any period of time. As a 13 year old – Brooke was probably a freshman. It is unlikely that she could have tried out and made the squad as a sophmore – without competing her freshman year. You can’t control your kids life in that way – it just breeds resentment – towards you the parent. There is no reason Brooke can’t cheer during cheer season and dance in a studio for fun.
These girls are Abbey’s elite group- they are supposed to be ‘extremely committed and driven to succeed.’ While I don’t care for Melissa, I do agree with her, she should not have quit in the middle of the competition season. And I agree with Abbey that Brooke did let the other girls down- this is part of being on a team. If Brooke isn’t committed to the team, she should quit, or dance for fun. This level is not for everyone and it takes more than talent.
I can’t stand Melissa in her talking heads- when Maddie didn’t get the lead in the music video, when she wasn’t the top of the pyramid, and again when she came in third, she continues to make excuses and let us know that Maddie is the best. Maddie is good, but it takes a complete package (not just talent), the right look and attitude. From what I saw, Chloe deserved her win and not because Maddie looked ‘too professional’ that is a ridiculous claim.
MLS…..ITA about Melissa. She’s very cutthroat and the worst kind of stage mother. I imagine her sole purpose for working at Abby’s studio is to give her girls a leg-up. A prime example of that is what she did to give Maddie an edge with the guy who was casting for the role in the video, which she didn’t get in the end. But it was not for lack of trying as she took the guy out for drinks unbeknownst to the other mothers who were not at all happy when they found out.
Both of her girls are adorable and Maddie is very talented but she is very much her mother’s daughter in attitude and I’m sure that as she grows physically so will her need to always win. I’ve noticed that a couple of times when she and Chloe have danced a duet and won Maddie always grabs the trophy or plaque from the emcee. That is not very gracious and many times I’ve felt so bad for Chloe who is also adorable, very sweet and a wonderfully elegant l little dancer
Thanks for explaining. I wouldn’t let my child quit in the niddle of a season but what you described is different. But I would have made my child tell the coach/instructor face to face the minute a decision was made.
I think each studio ( at least all of the ones I have worked at)has a well defined “season” even if it is Sept-May and then nationals in the summer. Brooke put a huge burden on the other girls by stopping mid-week. She could easily have quit before they started their new dance and not force the other girls into extra hours of rehearsals and stress.
We would do two – three comps a year plus festivals and recitals and community performances, if someone quit two weeks before the competition, the other girls would have to come in for hours and hours of respacing, restaging, especially if the one who quit was a main feature in the work. The dance would already have been done and completed and cleaned by then and it would basically be starting from scratch. I have been through a time or two due to injuries, but never from someone to try out for cheerleading. Finish your commitment or get out of it before you hurt the other people you committed to.
We could operate differently in MN too – I’m willing to admit that
….and I agree – it was a crummy thing to do to drop out the day before the show. I would not have allowed my child to drop out at the late date. I guess I would have put the ownership back on the child for not planning better – and your right – letting the coach know in person. My daughters coach, however, was not Abbey Lee. She made the kids work hard but she was approachable. I would have been honesly afraid to expose my child to the rath of Abbey Lee. I wouldn’t have put it past that woman to become physically abusive! I would honestly fear for Brooke’s safety.
I wouldn’t have allowed my child to drop out at the last minute either. She knew try outs where coming before she was chosen to be the lead. That said, I was appalled at the way Abbey spoke about Brooke after she dropped out: calling her worthless in front of the girls and then saying to her younger sister something along the lines of: “Well, we know who is the loved child in your family” when her mother didn’t come to the competition. Abbey is beyond abusive.
Abbey is a child abuser, so I do not watch the show. A very easy choice for me not to be involved in such overt oppressive games by a grown women. Bully too!
Thank you ladies for the blogs! I’m happy Bethenny got her show picked up. Now she can satisfy her tv urge (and continue to get her brand out there), while Bryn and Jason wait in the wings. I don’t mean anything negative by that, but I think any tension will start to go away as there won’t be cameras in the house 24/7. I know I’ll give her a view or two.
I love Tabatha! Mom was having flashbacks since she had to goto the hospital once for her chemical burns from a perm. I’m glad the flip flop wearer got the “vacation”. She could have gotten crocs to wear, so her complaining was over the top.
We’re rewatching Dance moms right now. I feel crazy cause I agree 100% with Abby and Maddie’s mom. You start a season, you finish it and you don’t screw your team. Odd nephew wanted to quit baseball (although after getting kicked by a coach which bro and I took care of). He wasn’t allowed, and now wants to play this year. I dunno I think if my hypothetical kid wanted to cheer she’d have to do it the next year. I agree with Abby why quit something she’s good at to shake a pom pom so a boy can get a scholarship? When she could get one for dancing? Seems nuts to me.
Off to watch extreme couponers- turns out the guy last night lives in the city next to my bro, gotta check it out lol.
There’s cheerleading scholarships, too.
For as much as any of that stuff costs, if my daughter commits , I’m sorry, she’s in it til it’s over. My friend’s 4 year old cheers for fun and the prices for that stuff is insane, I can only imagine in a truly competitive environment.
Well Ty I did not know that. Guess I’ve never heard of a full ride based on it, and don’t see many pro cheerleaders as its competitive as heck. I agree on the pricing. I can’t find the link with price, but I remember it was close to what I pay for baseball. One 30- minute private baseball is $40, I wanna say Abby was $35/40 a lesson.
Yes, in VA, Cheerleading has been considered a high school “sport” for some time now. They have district, regional and state championships just like the other sports. At least they did when my youngest was in high school. She, being the tough softball jock, used to laugh about it a little.
Still do. “Bring it On” isn’t just a fabulous movie, it’s true. There’s cheerleading competitions, scholarships, and it’s like a religion in some areas.
Best case scenario– a cheerleading scholarship isn’t going to cover tuition. Brooke has a much better chance with dance if she is considering scholarship.
I don’t know what most schools offer, but I know UCLA offered an out of state waiver which ended up being a ton of money. Still had to pay tuition and books and all that though.
I’m just going by what my daughter’s gymnsastics coach told me. She used to train at Chow’s (the same gym as Shawn Johnson) from the age of 4 to about 11- she was good, competed a bit, and even won. I specifically asked about scholarships as many cheerleaders would come to work on their tumbling skills. I was told that very few girls and guys get any substantial scholarships, mostly just a break on room and board.
You all remenber that Shanna Hughes aka Taylor Armstrong was a member of a cheer leading squad that won nationals.
Mornin’ Folks. Hope yours is a great one.
I watched Dance Moms the first season and decided not to give it a second go. I always found myself wanting to beat Abby and the ‘Moms’ about the head with a baseball bat. At the very least, line them all up and give them a 3 Stooges line slap. I would never really do it but it’s fun to think about while watching the show. It didn’t really surprise me last season, that the 8-12 year old girls were more mature and professional acting than the ‘adults’ on the show. Not when it involved TV cameras anyway. I have to wonder if that is what these people are really like. I know there are some horrific stage (and sports) parents out there but this seems completely ridiculous to me. It also doesn’t surprise me that Brooke wants to do something else. I kind of got that vibe from her last season and she probably told her mom as much, Then.
Good luck to B on her daytime show. I can’t say I’ll be paying a lot of attention to it, daytime talk shows aren’t my thing.
My advice to my girl Brandi (or anyone else) would be this. It’s old advice that I’ve plagiarized but it fits regarding she who also shall not be named *SWASNBN*. Never argue with an idiot. They’ll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience (at being an idiot). You’ll never win an argument with one because they are just too dense to ‘get it’. If anything, feel pity for them and just smile and nod as you think of something more worthwhile (I actually think this is the tact that Lisa took with Taylor at the TNT party). I would suggest that Big Ang step in and broker a peace deal between these two but SWASNBN isn’t worth the effort IMO. When she and Taylor read her blog about whatever is going on, they can share a chuckle and not move on. I ask our host, Lynn, however, Not to subject us To her blog unless there is Absolutely nothing else to talk about. Somehow in the world of reality (there’s a laugh) television, I doubt that would be the case.
I’m sure that Brandi has her flaws just like anyone else. She probably has a few skeletons as well. It would be insulting to her (or anyone else) to imply that she doesn’t. One flaw she does not have however, is stupidity. That is, continuing the same behavior expecting different results. We saw that with her and Kim at the White Party.
Oh well, I’m rambling again. Peace Ladies. Have a great day.

Hi Jeff……your reaction whenever you see Abby is that you envision yourself beating her with a bat is reminiscent of my reaction whenever I see the shady shyster, Traylor. The minute I see her face I find myself envisioning kicking her in that gaping pie hole of hers. It’s amazing what these folks inspire in us.
I know you’re a big fan of Brandi and I agree that she’s been a great addition to the cast. The other one, the blowhard braggart, not so very much. I’m wondering though if you could please translate: SWASNBN. Can’t even imagine what it is.
she who also shall not be named *SWASNBN*.
Since I prefer not to give her any real mentions by name for now, Brandi’s counterpart on the show as a ‘friend’ of the HWs. The one who hosted Game night earlier in the season.
Thank you for that Jeff.
Watching the clips that Bravo has released of the BH reunion, it seems that Taylor’s wish is going to come true, and the ladies are going to gang up on Lisa. I’m sure that this has probably already been discussed (I don’t always get to read everything that’s posted), but I wonder how much of Kyle’s obvious jealousy has to do with the simple fact that Lisa is the FIRST housewife in the opening credits. It was supposed to be Kyle’s show, but Lisa was the star. Kyle is the Jill of BH, and Lisa is the Bethenny.
Of they all ganged up on Lisa, expect backlash.
From us!!
I bet Kyle peed her pants coming in 3rd after Lisa (by a landslide) and Brandi haha she barely eeked out Camille…I definitely wonder what the status of her and Lisa’s relationship is though…if some conniving newcomer came in and my dumb friend fell for her tricks and bad mouthed me there wouldn’t be much she could say to fix things…I don’t hold grudges, but actions speak volumes to me
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/01/demi-moore-seizure-anorexia-collapse-rushed-hospital
I was thinking yesterday what oh what is Leann going to come up with now to try to one up Brandi……I mean come on Brandi hooks up with and A-lister while Leann is stuck with Brandi’s sloppy seconds (d lister) …..LUV IT!!!!
A new nancy? I’m digging the pink quilt! Welcome number 722!
Well if Kyle and Adrienne go after Lisa on the reunion show, it is sure thing it will backfire. So far, all polls done and after that will confirm the fans are squarely in Lisa corner. Dont worry Lisa these so called “friends” are not friends, but we got your back!!
Backfire for sure, at least from my end I wouldn’t buy anything they are selling.
Last night I was able to watch the Beverly Hills wedding episode. There was one moment in there that was over the top sexy. When Kyle was in the kitchen getting ready for the ladies to come over and have their talk, Mauricio wanders into the kitchen and very quietly asks – is there anything you need for me to do to help you. If I was his wife I would have stopped everything and jumped his bones at that very moment. Well, after I swooned of course. I adore that man. Just because of those kinds of things he does for his wife and family.
isn’t he the best, love himm
Pghemtchick,
Regarding yesterday’s question about whether any of us have made homemade baby wipes….I HAVE!! It was a long time ago (18 years), but my son was having an allergic reaction to the store bought ones, so I started making them myself, and it literally saved his skin!!
I think now it would be easier to make as the paper towels are already cut for us into a decent size towelette.
Anyway, highly recommended!!
I didn’t make my own really, I just used wet bounty when my daughter had, what I like to refer to as, ass of fury. She actually had a chemical burn from the Huggies Sensitive Wipes (sensitive my ass!) and it took about two months to finally go away, but I think she’ll have scars there forever. Not sure what your query was based on, but avoiding wipes alltogether is the best for their bottoms, especially when they have a diaper rash or burn, and my Peditrician told me to use a dry paper towel after the last booty wipe to make sure there’s no moisture left.
“sensitive my ass”….hehe punny.
Now that you mention it, my son’s looked an awful lot like a chemical burn too (and the scars DID go away, if I remember correctly—ain’t double checking a hairy ass for that, not even for YOU, e-riz!). I assumed that it was an allergic reaction, but it was more chemical burnish now that I think about it. I’ll never forget it, as I felt HUGE guilt about it for ages! Poor kid!
Years ago, my oldest had the same thing and it was from ….. Ivory soap. As soon as I started using dove soap, it went away. And the dermatologist said I was bathing too much. I remember thinking even having a spanking clean baby can be harmful! Ahhh the good old days.
Oh I felt horrible! She was miserable for such a long time! I suppose I’ll let you not checking hairy ass for scars slide. I mean, there are worse places to have scars, right?!
Thanks, Deedee! I think I’m gonna do it. Just gotta get containers. I’m gonna split the first batch between baby nephew and g-neice2. I’m willing to try anything to save the neice money since they are living on her McD’s paycheck. I keep telling her time for baby daddy aka nephew inlaw to get a job, but no hope yet.
AHH! You can make re-usable ones. My friend cuts up old receiving blankets and flannel shirts etc and sprays them with a solution of water, baby oil, and a little baby wash from a squirt bottle as needed. She sewed them into squares and stores them in a wet bag, then launders them as needed. She said it’s saved her about $600 over a year.
No problem, Pghemtchick! Go with the non-quilted stuff–it’s VERY soft after soaking up the solution. Although, I’m reading e-riz’s statement below (great idea!) about reusable ones too, and it seems for messy pants, you could use the disposable and the wet bottom the reusable. Real money saver no matter what way you go.
Money saving tip from my pediatrician–girls don’t need to be wiped after a pee so long as they are wearing a diaper. I assume resuable homemade baby butt wipes you just rinse the poo off and launder normally, kind of like clothe diapers. No idea. I’m too lazy for both those things and do enough laundry.
Makes sense about the no wiping after peeing for girls. After all, they use urea in almost all beauty products, which is…..urine. So letting a girl air dry after peeing would probably be very healing for her skin.
I don’t use wipes unless I’m out and about. I only use toilet paper at home. But what’s best is no diaper. I’ve been working with my almost 17 MO DS on Elimination communication. A work in progress! Unless we are out and about or at night he doesn’t wear a diaper all day. The downside is the TIMING! It’s driving me crazy but it’s all worth it.
“Elimination Communication” Sounds like the name of a potty training book. Better get to work on that!!
I thought about starting that, but she’s so damn stealthy in her poopage!
LOL! see the poop is predictable but peeing is a whole other matter!!! I think my DS enjoys spraying walls etc….. Oh the joy!
DeeDee will be a best seller!!
I don’t feel like filming today @ShunMelson do you?
I know ur bringing some fly shit so I suppose ill start getting ready!! Xxoo
I saw that tweet by Kim are they filming already at #RHOA and who’s Shun Melson? A new castmember?
Maybe they are filming Don’t Be Tardy ForThe Party still?
She’s a stylist….
http://talkingwithtami.com/tag/shun-melson
I googled Shun Melson and found a website for a celebrity stylist by that name and I do believe she’s based in GA. So that may be the connection.
Ain’t google great?
BB love your detective skills! Yes google rocks!
I wonder who is being axed? Since RHONY firings we know that no brand is safe aside from RHOBH.
Sorry to say I don’t have “soothsayer” skills and wouldn’t venture to try to guess what Bravo will do.
I’m not so sure RHoBH is safe. God I hope not. A few have to go. Time will tell I suppose.
KansasGirl,
Some gallbladder hints… Get some fruit and veggies for snacking on because nothing tastes good. Don’t think you will feel better in a couple of days, at least I don’t. I really thought being off work a week was overkill, but it isn’t.
(get some Milk of Magnesia, just in case)
City
When is/was Kansas Girl’s surgery? I must have missed something.
She was going to the Dr and getting it scheduled. I did not have that luxury, I know way more than I ever wanted to about gallbladders, liver and pancreas! Still feel like crap after emergency surgery Saturday. yuck.
Surgery is trauma to your body. Just because it’s mini incisions and all that doesn’t mean that your body isn’t going to react.
Take it one day at a time girlfriend and don’t be impatient…..
Hi Mazel,
How right you are. There have been many studies done on post surgical patients and depression.
Did you happen to see a program on tv last night called
The World’s Greatest Musical Prodigies? This 16 yr old wrote an entire symphony for piano and orchestra. He had a competition in China to find the pianist. It was amazing.
I’m sorry I didn’t ask you how are you feeling?
I am 7 weeks post surgery for my gall bladder. Everyone said “oh (Insert relative name here) had their gall bladder removed and they were up and about 2 days later”. Bullshit! (Sorry for the cursing) You are going to be sore for a while. I was lucky and didn’t have any issues with food (taste or otherwise) but I did avoid fatty stuff. The second week was better. I was just sore. Take your pain med.s before you are in agony. If I had to sneeze of cough I put my hand on my belly. Seemed to help for some reason. I couldn’t wear jeans for a little while. For several weeks afterwards I put a band aid on my incision just to protect the scar from rubbing on my jeans. It may have been overkill but I wasn’t given any instructions other than don’t drive while on pain medication. (You don’t say!)
Cityside, mine was considered emergency as well, even though they waited until early the next morning. They wanted me pumped full of antibiotics before hand. Probably also wanted to get some of the cardiac med.s out of my system. You will feel better soon. Just don’t push yourself. One side benefit everybody says my skin looks really good! I had noticed that my skin was not looking good at all and couldn’t figure out what was going on. Hope you heal quickly!
Thanks, I totally agree that “people” don’t know $hit when telling you about someone else’ surgery! Thanks for the info because I really thought I should be feeling better by now, but I’m not. I had Mr. City get me a tray of veggies and that at least gave me something to eat that tasted normal.
I don’t see jeans in my immediate future! I am having a friend take me shopping tonight to get some gym pants so I can get out of these PJ’s!
Mazel, are you going to ChiTown for the get together?
Youse guys are the BEST!
oh- I wouldn’t be saying that to you. My friend had her gall bladder removed and was in the hospital for about a week and needed to take 6 weeks off of work.
Also 15+years ago, a few weeks before him and my sister were going to go to Ireland to visit family my dad had to get his gallbladder removed. As fate would have it, it was one one time they didn’t purchase travel insurgence, my sister ask the doctor if he would still be able to take the trip- and the doctor said..”not unless you want him to die” (fortunately the ticket was just listed as Mr. C XXXXXX(last name )- and my brother also has a C for an initial so he got to go in his place.) but I disgress, my point is…I know it’s a big deal
I hope you are feeling better soon.
Bethenny is getting her talkshow. Wow! I wish her luck but why would she want to do this to herself & her family. She thinks she’s busy now but she has no idea.
Did JZ send out a 411 that she’s had heart palpatations after Bs big news. Bobby bet get his checkbook out big time for this one.
I think a talkshow is better than reality TV. Her private life could then be private as this would not have to include Jason and Bryn.
Cityside,
Hope you are taking it easy. Sorry that you are going thru this. Prays for healing coming your way!
*Prayers*
Thanks sweetheart.
I think it’s B’s personality to work work work, it kind of defines her, but I agree the talk show format seems easy, she won’t have to do much of the research (unless she wants to) and it’s only a few hours…I think she’s striking while the iron is hot, but good to know (for her I’m sure) she doesn’t have to work much if she doesn’t want to
Just read story in Miami Herald about Housewives to be filmed probably beginning with the Lea Black Fountainblue fundraiser. Will not include the basketball wife Larsa and exwife/ skank Cristi. Was never meant to be a housewives franchise but due to NY delay was converted quickly.
So it’s coming back ? I thought Miami was so boring.
I’m not sure if I’m nitpicking, but I don’t understand why Adrienne had ppl over before Pandora’s wedding, like she lives across the way did she really need to have ppl stop by her place first for a drink and they all go together?
Bravo cameras were not at the wedding so it logical to film the cast before they went to Lisa’s house.
oOo didn’t realize that, I guess thats why the filming of the wedding looked different…thx
PamDana is an asshat – congrats to Bethennay I’m hoping that it is indeed the kind of daytime show with a bit of cooking and conversation – that type of thing is something that she would be very good at – love Tabatha – even when I read the recap – great job by the way – I can hear her voice in my head – I do wish though that the bar owners would use John Taffer- he does a show called Bar Rescue – he is very much like Tabatha in approach but he has a world of experience in bar management -good show by the way – a bit like Kitchen Nightmares too –
I watched a show called Face Off last night on Sy-Fy – sosososososo good -
I enjoy Bar Rescue also. It’s a show my hubby also enjoys…..he won’t watch housewives at all! I also saw the last part of Face Off and thought it looked great! I will watch for it again while I wait for the new season on Warehouse 13 (SyFy).
Love Face Off! So glad they brought it back for a second season!
Well my gravatar today is in honor of how I know “she” is feeling today about B’s new show.
I watched Mob Wives last night and Karen is nuts. My daughter and I were looking at each other after her “fight” with Carla, like what just happened? Karen runs hot and cold.
I still love Big Ange.
AND I hope, against all hope, and I’m going to hell for hoping this….but I HOPE they got Rene’s reaction when she found out that Jr. sold out her father!
You thought “crumbs” pissed her off!!!!
Nancy,
How is your sister doing?
Hi PP,
She’s doing ok. It still hurts and she’s having a problem extending to 0%.
I’ve assisted with hundred of total knee’s so I know why she is hurting.
How is your daughter feeling?
She has good days and then bad. She is still coughing but not everyday. I know now why it is called the 100 day cough!
BH Reunion! Ok, I just watched the previews and have to get something off my chest.
First–the Donkey Butt thing. Where in the world did that start? Lisa in no way has a donkey butt and i do not get why Andy was telling her she had one on WWHL and why the other ladies were encouraging that on the reunion. I mean Taylor was loving it and even Camille was in on it. Even though Lisa was being an exceptionally good sport about it. I think it is just plain mean and ridiculous because it is so off-base. I don’t know what these people’s warped perspective is but no wonder most of them are anorexic. This just makes me mad.
Second–What is up with Adrienne and her shoes? Sensitive much? I don’t get why the “hoof” thing was so bad. I agree with Lisa, I thought I was cute and funny. Isn’t that Lisa’ s m.o. in the commentaries to bring some humor to the show. Plus Adrienne can “tease” paul mercilessly but she surely can’t take a joke herself. Is she blaming potential less that stellar sales of her over-priced shoes on Lisa’s funny comment? If they don’t do well it won’t be because of Lisa. And why was Camille jumping on the bandwagon. The whole thing was “much ado about nothing” if you ask me.
Next, What did Taylor do to her lips again? They seem to be jutting out more than ever. She must see something totally different that we do when she looks in the mirror.
Fourth–Why is Kyle calling Lisa calculating? Did Lisa figure out how to play the game before everyone else? Is she referring to Lisa’s turnaround in regards to Taylor? Is she mad because she used to be Taylor’s bestie, thought she had one up on Lisa because Lisa started to look like she wary of Taylor and felt Taylor was lying . Then when Lisa decided not to catch Taylor in her lies on screen and instead show compassion realizing Taylor had some big time issues and Lisa’s normal reaction to a head case such as Taylor was just going to make Lisa look bad, Kyle was surprised and felt a little usurped? Remember at the dinner party when Lisa when form questioning Taylor to smoothing over the situation, Kyle just had these looks of disbelief and said some like “so now you are just going to be friends, just like that?”
Do you think the ladies call each other before the reunion and plan the topics the are going to bring up and whose back they are going to have that day? It sure seems like it to me. Anyone else?
I meant Kyle’s expressions at Lisa’s tea party , not dinner party.
Donkey booty started with Phaedra in ATL
You already have your answer of where ‘donkey’ came from when referring to Lisa’s backside. You also mentioned some of these ‘famous’ type people being anorexic. That’s really a shame that people, particularly women and young girls, feel the need to shove themselves into that mold. The fact is, from a Man’s perspective, at least This man, something extra is appreciated. I don’t want to put my arms around a woman and be able to measure the distance between her ribs, on her back. If she happens to be wired that way through DNA, Ok but otherwise, I just want to give her a sandwich.
http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2012/01/25/taylor-armstrong-tell-all-hiding-from-reality-memoir-abuse/
Just read this and it made me sick!!!
Taylor is pure evil. All the things she says in this article are ridiculous, I mean c’mon do ya really think Russell would have said get rid of it if its not a girl. Men like Russell are type to me that would love to have a bunch of boys….This is too much, someone really needs to call her out!!!
Case in point–he has sons!
If you’re being abused at home why would you have your staff sign releases, wouldn’t that hurt you in a custody case where it’ll be your word against his
I sure hope his family sues her for slander.
She’s crazy. There is no blood test on the mother that can determine the sex of the child. You would have to do an ultrasound to get cord blood.
Yup! And they won’t touch you with a 20 foot pole at 5 weeks. I don’t think there is even a finite gender, other than at the genetic level then. Is there?
I don’t think so. She is so pathological it’s scary.
Where is CSP?
CPS? that’s why she’s diddling with Dr. Sophy
He should have his license revoked.
I’m thinking about writing to the boards.
Nancy….Quit thinking about it and do it..As a medical professional yourself you should take your concerns to your Medical Lic.Board .
I know that if this Dr had pulled this stunt in Fl his ass would have been let go the first day they got wind of it… At best , it’s a conflict.. If he had knowledge that a child COULD be in danger it is his duty to address it.. Not been shown on a Reality TV show ….
You really should Nancy.

I stand corrected. I didn’t know this test could be done.
I’m not sure the states are going to jump on board though.
I hope China doesn’t follow suit or there won’t be any girls left.
Well we know this testing was not available to taylor back in 2005 right ???
Good point Diva.
thank you-
i just commented on that below….glad to see that what I thought I knew is also still medically valid….
I can’t beleive the lies that pile out of this pigs mouth….it’s so sick.
Well all I can say is SHE BETTER HAVE PROOF TO BACK UP THESE CLAIMS…… Without PROOF it’s her words against WHO ?? A dead person who cant defend himself. She had many chances at “outing” him if she so desired BUT…NOPE..waits till he dies to do it..
Her little game started back in Ft Lauderdale with someone who shall not be outed right now..Then when she left him ,she set her sights on Russell…Everything she had done or plotted has been done with a SPECIFIC purpose in mind.. From Kansas to Oklahoma to Tenn to Dallas to Florida then to Beverly Hills…..
I cant wait for the forensic audit of her financials…..
BTW…..
You can still be sued for slander or libel against a DEAD PERSON…
I have been reading and researching this very topic the past few days…
I think the Armstrong Family in Texas is waiting for the release of the book to make their next move. And then watch and sees what happens.
California and Texas have laws on their books regarding this very topic.
Well, someone needs to call her out on all her lies and I don’t care who does it.
interesting too since Russell’s mother is listed on the Armstrong Family Trust, right? So she would know how much Russell may have hidden offshore and can sue Taylor for damages…that’s why I think she went to set this whole ‘victim’ thing in order to help that protects her…
Manuel E Glaze…is the name listed on the Trust for Cook Islands
Diva, if a person can be sued for libel and slander against a dead person, who would the plaintiff be. And what would be the damages.
Racine…as I understand this and NO I am not an attorney… and IF I was in this situation… the first legal heir ( Russells son ) could bring a suit against taylor for libel /slander. Even though a person is no longer living they should have the right not to have their name tarnished… Well at least in this instance having ones father being referred to as a WIFE BEATER…
Setting aside my personal feelings about taylor…If I sat on a jury and heard that there was NO supporting evidence that a man was a WIFE BEATER and his reputation was being slandered…I would rule in favor of the children and award damages…accordingly…. How much value is a good name worth ??? I dont know.. I would feel that it would be priceless…JMHO as always…
Diva
Thats very interesting.
I tried to sue a dead person once. In Texas. I didn’t get very far.
Did you sue the PERSON or the ESTATE ??
Racine.. I try to always look at all sides of a box…
Diva – I sued the estate. It was supposed to be receiving money but it never did so there was nothing to go after. I was hoping to at least get before a judge long enough to find out if it was a legitimate lawsuit. But that never happened.
Racine…Sorry to hear that….
Thank you. Those things happen.
As if I needed another reason to hate the woman. At least as much as I can hate someone I don’t actually know. There it is. I’ll tell ya gang, I love to snark on the HWs I don’t like and cheer for the ones I Do like. Taylor however is a Major piece of work and it’s not a modern art masterpiece, that work. It isn’t even fun to snark on her anymore. Even the one who brought most people here, Jill, Once in awhile, has at least A or Some redeeming qualities (I think she got lost in her own celebrity though). Taylor has None.
The fact that she writes this garbage After Russell is dead only proves that to me. If he were alive and could actually defend himself, I Might, I say Might, let it go to some extent and let him deal with it. I find it impossible to believe that he Demanded a gender specific child from her (that’s basically what she’s saying). Any Bets on WHO actually Said that, IF it was ever said? Mine would be Lips McGee herself, Not Russell.
I’ll take the word of the medical experts here that gender cannot be seen in a 5 week old group of cells.
That woman is absolutely disgusting. She has truly phucked herself with the public. If she had laid low and played the grieving widow (Which I still wouldn’t have believed) for a reasonable amount of time, she may have garnered some sympathy from folks. She is not even a good mother and I doubt she was ever a good wife.. One of these days, Kennedy is going to read her mommy’s book. Anybody else wonder how Lips is going to ‘splain her way out of That one?
Did anyone read the two comments from” Nada” on that article? If this person is legit, then I hope they expose her.
Wow….wonder who that is?? Perhaps Diva can tell from the info given in Nada’s comments.
Viki… I believe that NADA is the ex gf of Russell…They remained close friends after the break up…
Taylor met Russell in WPB/Boca area and in within MONTHS she was pregnant..Part of the plan..Then off to Mexico to get married then back to BH….
taylors BIO dad lives in Texas with his wife that he married in 1981….
I posted THREE LINKS in the taylor page..but my comment is awaiting moderation… Watch to see if it posts…
I have also been reading some off the wall posts where some of her school chums are talking about her and that she was not raised poor..In fact she never wanted for anything….hhhmmmmm
I also found her AUNTS here in Florida….LOL
Guess the coocoo birds here didnt like the bread crumb trail…so my job was easier….
Thanks Design “Sherlock” Diva:)
There’s always WordPress and other blog hosting sites. I’m betting this ‘Nada’ person wants to be paid for his/her story.
She says she took a blood test- and mailed in the sample to determine the gender of her baby? lol- yeah okay lady. And that mail in test was going to dictate if she had the kid or not….shakes head…why not ask the magic 8 ball.
liar-pig-bitch
Rabble…did you see my post to you about cruising?
no- I must have missed it. I will try to find it
Is it in this blog? I cant find it
It was yesterday or the day before.
Totally OT, but can someone please explain to me how I’m dumb enough to take in ANOTHER dog?! Vey iz mir! Guess I’m going to be the proud mom of a 4 month old Wiemeraner, on top of the border collie, zuchon, and mastiff.
That’s how we ended up having 6 cats. What are the details on your new one?
SILs germaphobe boss bought a puppy for his sons and apparently at 4 months he’s not trained yet so they’re getting rid of him, and how can I say no?
Children, dogs and cats, once you pop you can’t stop!
Wiemeraners are great dogs. You are a braver woman than I. I have two and sometimes it’s one or two too many!
Well it sounds like the new puppy has won the lottery.
Let us know how it goes when you bring him home.
I just read Cesar Milans book about how to raise puppies.
My dog is almost 18 yrs old so I needed the know how.
Congratulations.
aww did he/she steal your heart? I could totally see myself being that person, but my doggie isn’t much of a dog person, lol
I haven’t even seen a picture. He’s in Cleveland, Ohio so my SIL will have to drive him up which means I’ll have to spend time with her I guess (blaaaaahh).
BB, we have a 9 month old mastiff and a 1.5 year old Zuchon, and the border collie is almost 8 but acts like she’s a puppy too. It’s a mad house already! I’m definately not sane.
I hear ya!
glad that you can bring another one in, I hope he/she fits right in…I was watching Pitbulls + Parolees earlier so I’m feeling very sympathetic to unwanted doggies right now, lol
I wish Tea would lighten up every now and then. She’s alway so grumpy. That aside
I think she walks on water.
Tia
That’s a hell of a crew you’re going to have there. I don’t know that I would call it dumb unless you don’t have the cash or the space to support them. Myself, I can only handle one at a time.

I have had 2 Weinys in my life. The first was in the 80s and he was the most loving dog ever. I still miss him. The kids in the neighborhood use to come over and ask if he could come out and play. He died way too young. The second was brought home against my wishes and was adorable as a puppy….then he grew into THEE most hyper dog ever!
Hope you have a lot of room for him/her!!
I guess each dog has their own personality despite the breed. The only one I knew was Greta, the gentle giant. Belonged to the neighbors behind me when I was little and I still remember her. And I was afraid of dogs back then because I had been bitten by one. She was a sweetie.
Honey, I have 6 dogs. Get back to me when you have a few more.
I have two dogs and three cats and would have more if I could. They’re all rescues… my one dog and three cats were adults when I got them and I think I’ll continue rescuing adults since they’re the most unlikely to find homes. My one cat I rescued at 12 and she’s the sweetest thing. The shelter was so happy when I took her. I am too.
Good for you. I enjoy the older cats when I volunteer at the animal shelter.
That’s so great that you volunteer at an animal shelter! I’d love to do that but at the same time, I’d want to take all the animals home with me… lol
Hopefully this lady is RIGHT!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mari-fagel/lawsuit-against-taylor-ar_b_1224078.html
Me too.
It’s all fun and games til someone gets sued!
Can you imagine the looks on their faces (Andy or any of the BH wives or husbands, Dave Blah Blah Blah, the producer) if they were actually served with subpoenas to tetstify in the civil suit? If it ever happens, I hope the BRAVO cameras are there to catch it on film. Priceless.
Now I would watch that show!
That’s the first article I’ve read that actually gives me hope that we’ve seen the last of her sorry ass.
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/09/prweb4449204.htm
Well this does not match up to what we were shown for the past two seasons….
That article was a joke… I never even knew what Taylor did. The first season she referred to “her company” but it didn’t even seemed like she worked. They wrote this in reference to including Taylor in the cast… “It’s very exciting, and we’re confident it’s going to be a tremendous success.” Didn’t turn out that way now did it?
clearly she wrote this and submitted it herself
And the hits just keep coming…. It was all part of her plan…Get on show…then get rid of russell…on to bigger things or persons…..
Remember when Russell was asked why would he agree to appear on a Reality Show and he said something along the lines of wanting to help taylor out to be the best actress out there……It was her goal…..Um. Sure..Yea…
I googled “SAP what is it” and I found the following which leads me to ask, is it nebulous or is it me?
(1) Short for Session Announcement Protocol, an announcement protocol used to communicate the relevant session setup information to prospective participants during multicast sessions. SAPs typically use the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP).
(2) Short for Service Advertising Protocol, a NetWare protocol used to identify the services and addresses of servers attached to the network. The responses are used to update a table in the router known as the Server Information Table.

Test to determine baby’s gender, it was on The Today Show in 2005, so it was available.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Gender_Mentor
PP.. I seriously doubt taylor took this test….LOL LOL LOL LOL
She just throwing chit out there to see what will stick and who will fall for her pack of lies…..’
Ever wonder why NO ONE from her FAMILY has come to her defense ????
She’s getting slammed and hammered in the press and yet NO ONE has taken up her cause to defend her…..Makes you wonder….well not me..cause I can prob figure out why they keep to themselves ..They have enough skeletons of their own……
It will be interesting to see what happens at the trial!
She barely knew Russell at that time. No woman would have taken that test under those circumstances. Not if she really wanted the child. Are we to believe that when Russell said that to her Taylor just said… “Oh okay dear.” They weren’t married… she could have told him to take a hike. And if it did happen and she didn’t tell him to take a hike then she has no one to blame but herself. She’s disgusting!!!!
According to Russell’s best friend she said that having a child was the worst mistake she’s ever done.
Charming, eh?
Ugh… even worse. No wonder Kennedy always looks so miserable. OMG that poor child. I really feel horrible for her. I wonder if Russell’s family even gets to see her. So so sad.
I wish they could raise Kennedy.
It sounds so hokey to me, especially if this do it yourself at home kit is the basis of eugenics and elective abortion.
I still don’t beleive Taylor and never will.
Nancy, I am feeling great, thank you for asking!! Now it’s just back to my crazy life, lots of demands….no excuses.
No we didn’t see that performance yesterday, sounds interesting.
How are you and George?
Too bad. Maybe YouTube would have it. I was thinking of your son while I was watching it. What unbelievable talent. Yo Yo Ma wasn’t that good at that age.
I’m glad you are finally feeling better. It’s been too long wouldn’t you say?
George and I are ok thanks. He’s going to a medical conference for a week starting this Friday. I’m staying home this time to take care of Emily and the cats.

YEA….my three links have been released up in the taylor page….happy reading…
Well I just got an email from DECO… she sent me a link to a story about Demi Moore and why she was rushed to the hospital… WHIP ITS…. She should go shopping with me..I’d introduce her to the dairy aisle and REDDI WHIP…..
http://gaw.kr/yTJ8oJ
Demi is supposedly stressed. Really…..worth about 15 million and I can’t pay my bills and she is the one stressed. Talk about needy. I saw the articles where she is quoted (which we don’t know if she did say this) “I don’t know if I am capable of being loved” or some such BS.
If I had her body and looks and cash I would enjoy life by giving to others and caring for my family. This is what normal people do on a day to day basis. I personally would not care to lose that punk kid (no pun intended).
AZGirl,
You don’t want her body. She looks like a skeleton.
I wouldn’t mind having her hair though.
Agree.
NOT attractive, and definitely not healthy…
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2091387/Demi-Moore-hospital-substance-abuse-anorexia.html
I feel sorry for her.
I agree with her being to thin but why is she so miserable? Three lovely girls and a great career. Give me a break. I am so tired of “exhausted” celebrities.
I once had a lot of money but I was miserable.
A rich and sophisticated 49-year old with a history of drug addiction was sent to the hospital after doing WHIP ITS?
She’s now gone to rehab after an exhausting night of inhaling nitrous oxide like a crazy teenager partying down in the rec room?
She’s dropped all that weight because she’s been inhaling gas for months?
Does she send her assistants out for canisters and balloons?
Nope, I don’t believe it.
RM..I just heard that. OMG, too sad.
Apparently “whip its” is code for “cocaine”…
A female CNN journalist in Jerusalem heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time.
So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site.
She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview.
“Pardon me, sir, I’m Rebecca Smith from CNN. What’s your name?
“Morris Feinberg,” he replied.
“Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?”
“For about 60 years.”
“60 years! That’s amazing! What do you pray for?”
“I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims.”
“I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop.”
“I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults and to love their fellow man.”
“I pray that politicians tell us the truth and put the interests of the people ahead of their own interests.”
“How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?”
“Like I’m talking to a fucking wall.”

Google maps has the C blocked out on the building and I forgot that zero is an EVEN #! Math is hard!!!
I just looked up on google maps and put the little man down on the street and I can see 6425 and 6433 but no 6430, I will look again!
Wow, the Feb. 7th date is about 15 mins. from me. The same place I saw Bethenny. Maybe I’ll go and report back.
Oh do! And take pictures of the “crowd”.
Lavalady.. you just have to take one for the TEAM…..
Hi Diva…….I sure hope she comes to a bookstore near you. She wouldn’t know what the hell hit her.
That would be awesome
PG… If she plans ANY place in Fla..from Pensacola to the Keys..I will go…bet your sweet cheeks…cause I LOVE TO DRIVE….
Yes!!
I know you’ll be there and I have a feeling that because she has history in FL she will do a book signing there. However, it just occurred to me that if she is met with protests, which is quite possible, in the first few appearances, she might just pull the plug on any future book signings. Would she be able to get away with that? Or will she have signed a contract obliging her to make those appearances? Although, she apparently has signed contracts in the past and failed to fulfill her contractual obligations so it’s conceivable that she could do it again.
PG,,, I am not real sure that FL will really be on her FANTASY TOUR…..LOL
I really think she may have burned some bridges here with people….. wink
I found it, it is CNN. It is a huge building…. I don’t understand why she would go there, unless it is an appearance and not a book signing.
It’s prob for her to SOB and BOOHOO about how IT”S NOT FAIR all to sell more books..
Too bad I dont have disposable income… I’d bring my date LEGOMAN and stand outside and heckle her…..
S & S gonna be taking a big hit in their wallets for this one….. EPIC FAIL….
They are the same idiots that kept having Bawby’s wife on after her 15 mins was up!
The S&S website says local appearances, so she will most likely be on their Entertainment show.
A couple of times recently you’ve made comments that lead me to believe your wish to take custody of LegoMan came true. I know that when he first turned up on the beach, which I believe was right around the same time the piano appeared on a sandbar near you, you had expressed an interest in becoming Legoman’s legal guardian. But I seem to have missed the day that it came to pass. Wowzers lady. That’s pretty exciting. When did it happen and how did I miss it?
No I dont have custody of LEGOMAN…I figure if I keep thinking and wishing it might come true…..He still is on lockdown till the second week of FEB….
I should go check on his release date….
Interesting email I got. It was from Amazon. The interesting thing is that Anazon things that because I bought Inbox Full I will be interested to buy Taylor’s book.
Just wondering how ppl were able to review Kristen johnsons book-I wonder if I/we can get in touch w shanas ppl to get an advanced copy-I’m sure they know they need all the positive spin they can get
Hey Cityside, I’m planning on going unless the weather punks or a million dollar sale comes in! I’m such a last minute person….I haven’t decided the details yet. Yah know it’s Super Bowl here in our little burg. It’s kind of fun watching the city go into a tizzy over this.
Nancy, I think based on our conversations re surgery I’ve recovered on schedule. The surgery was Sept. 19. I was physically feeling better w/in 6 weeks but getting all of my hormones to settle down took a bit longer. Then I switched off of my anti-depressant which wasn’t working….but now it’s ALL back in balance. Yes!!!
REVENGE IS A REPEAT TONITE…… BOOOOOOOO
pg- i cant find the post you left me

BB.. did Lynn send you that Article about Linsay from Top Chef >>>
No, I didn’t ask her cause I know she’s been busy.
Diva is it about a certain chef’s prior place of employment and speculation about who may have won?
BB..um kinda sorta…. LOL and her BOSS
I read several articles about that and the boss bailing too. Thanks!
I just need to ask,, was it about West Palm beach from 2 days ago ??
I’ll have to check. I didn’t save it.
I can’t find it now, but there is one today about them both in Forbes.com Check it out.
Ugh why is dr sophy on Nancy grace right now speaking on his experience with dept of children and family services how ironic
I’m watching it and just heard Nancy go ballistic on that idiot as he defended CPS’s decision to return the poor child to his mother when even the 3 yr. old child said he didn’t want to go back. Bravo Nancy! Nancy Grace, that is.
Yeah I almost turned when she announced him but glad to hear her lay into him-if only she knew about Taylor and her shenanigans ESP since Nancy is a victims rights advocate (not dv but still)
OT: Governor of Arizona Jan Brewer started a fight about immigration with President Obama on the tarmac after landing at Gateway in Mesa. She shook her finger at him!
I am so embarrassed. But I am not as embarrassed as the Mayor of Mesa and Mayor of Phoenix that accompanied her. They are Republicans and they were mortified. Poor guys.
I missed that. Do you mean illegal immigration? There is a big difference and it’s important to make the distinction. Who said what? And why are you embarrassed? Please do tell because I missed the whole thing and this is a subject that concerns me greatly.
PG,,here ya go
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/44/post/obama-tangles-with-arizona-gov-jan-brewer-over-immigration-book/2012/01/25/gIQAxTcRRQ_blog.html
Jan Brewer wrote a book. She wrote disparaging things about the president and his policies toward illegal immigration. I have lived in AZ for 35 years. It is a serious problem. But racial profiling is not the answer. There are other options. A tarmac is not the venue to bring this discussion up.
Racial profiling is never the answer however I lived in California for 20 yrs. and I volunteered weekly at San Quentin for a couple of years and discovered that with the illegal alien population from south of us comes an influx of gangs who wreak havoc in society. Here’s a classic example of this:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2012/01/25/BAL41MUBIL.DTL&tsp=1
OMG. What was she thinking.
Sorry, but no matter what your party and what your beef is, he’s the POTUS. You do NOT shake the finger at OUR President.
What the hell has happened to the concept of basic respect in this country?
I saw the photo on our headline here in AZ and was flabbergasted that this woman (and I use the term loosely)publicly shook her finger the Presidents face. I was so mortified I wrote her an email about respect. She may not agree with his policies or her perception of how she was treated by him during a conversation, but to do this publicly was horrendous. I do not like her at all and never have – it’s not a party line thing, I just find her irritating and laughing all the way to the bank with her book written while she is in office, of course she’ll get more money and publicity that way. I was so po’d in my email. I’ll
probably get investigated – LOL. However we as a country are losing the value of respect for people, institutions and so many other things. To stand on a tarmac and wave your finger in POTUS face was disparaging. She is a big POS. As a government official she should know better and also at her age.
I guess she was raised with coyotes in the desert.
I was under the impression that this site was politics free, I would appreciate it remaining so. Thanks!
Dr. Sophony is being excoriated by Nancy Grace as we speak. A child’s body has been found buried under his mother’s trailer home and Nancy is pissed because CPS gave the boy back to his mother even after her family begged them not to do that. The little boy even said he didn’t want to go back to his mother; he was only 3 yrs. old. This idiot, Dr. Sophony is defending CPS and making excuses for them and Nancy is having none of that bull. You’ve got to watch and listen to her tear into this moron. Sorry morons, I don’t mean to offend you.
PG,,, I am watching now….Dr Sophy needs to be brought up before the MB in California…
Damn right he does! ITA PG and Diva – what he hell is going on w/this “doctor”???
Hey Revenge Fans
http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/revenges-emily-vancamp-dating-costar-josh-bowman-2012251
That’s sweet. I was a little surprised by their age. I thought they would be a bit older.
FYI…Demi Moore didn’t have a No2 induced seizure. It’s called myoclonic jerks.
All the neurons are firing off at once so the brian gets overloaded.
It obviously looked like a seizure to her “friends”.
Well I hope she enjoyed her “high”
Good evening, I have no idea what’s new. I’m so far behind. Did you know when you take steroids for a sinus infection or bronchitis it weakens your immune system? Yeah, so guess what…I have bronchitis again! Hope you all are well.
That’s why you can’t stop cold turkey. You poor thing. Do you want me to fly out there so I can take care of you? I’ll have to bring Emily though.
I would love it! Emily can play with Jackson & Lily. What can’t I stop cold turkey?
Because that’s the way your immune system works.
The interesting thing thing is you often treat bronchitis with steroids. It’s complicated I know.
that’s what I was wondering
Oh no Dame! (((((((((((((((Dame))))))))))))))) * wipes off with lysol* lol I hope you feel better soon! Time to try chicken broth/chicken soup and good old fashioned relaxation. Get better:)
IT’S NOT FAIR! I haven’t been out if the house. How are you doing? Pain manageable?
Not good on not getting out. Has the son in law made you dinner yet? I’m sad you’re still dealing with this
. I’m living got enough meds to prolly drop an elephant and a script for more lol. Pain is ehhh good and bad. If i dont move off the bed its great. That and pop pills every 5-6 hours. Got about 30ish (gave up counting at 26) staples in it still, and at this point not sure on the other counts. There’s a pic of it (X-ray) on my twitter from yesterday @pghemtchick. My brothers calling it the robotic foot. Lol
I really hope you start feeling better soon!
Oh, you poor thing! You’ve had your share of crappy stuff lately. I’m sorry and hope you’ll get rid of it once and for all this time. Please take care of yourself.
Hi Baroness, and it all started cause if my future son-in-law! Are you recapping TC tonite? Face Off is on syfy @ the same time. It’s cool.
Yes, getting ready to watch TC right now.
Oh Dame, I’m sorry you don’t feel well. I hope you are quick on the mend.
Hey Boobah! It’s getting better; at least I don’t sound like a Canadian goose in heat when I cough now
Don’t you pick on my geese.
Well they’re hanging around…they must have heard my mating call
Omg – I can’t help but laugh at that. I’m picturing a huge gaggle of geese in your yard right now.
Just don’t eat them ok?
Do you have a humidifier?
Yep, it goes non-stop in the bedroom
Does it help?
Evidently not…I have bronchitis!
Dame—I’m so sorry you feel bad too—my youngest sparkle child sounds like Princess Pindy’s daughter—whooping cough ( he doesn’t really have it but he should get points as if) bronchitis will hurt you. You have overdone— sounds like to me. Nancy will probably agree. You have been sick too long. Mr. Dame has to change all of your filters. You have to sit in the sun a little everyday. No dust. No overdoing. germ-free kisses and hugs—
sparklemuffy… we must be on the same wavelength..I sent dame an email this morning telling her to get her ductwork cleaned and some super duper filters installed….What good moms we are….LOL
I think you’re both right! I told Sure what diva said & he agreed. I also need to just sit on the deck. I was able to do that today. 60 & sunny. Another thing, something’s always blooming here & when I get allergies it leads to ears, throat, chest congestion. So it’s the state’s fault…maybe I can sue!
Ugh, that is like here. Something is always in bloom, the down side to paradise!! I’m so sorry you’re not better. The same thing is happening with my daughter and it is so frustrating. She finally cried tonight. She has been so strong. I wish I had a magic wand and I would wave it over you, my daughter and sparkleson!!
Great advise.
Dame, I’m so sorry to hear that you can’t seem to get rid of this monkey on your back. What are you supposed to do? I hope you are able to get some good advice and that you’ll be healed very soon.
Ken & Lisa are on Dr Drew right now.
Their ready to hit the TMZ guy.
They’re
Harvey Levin is TMZ. That guy was not TMZ although I recognize him but I know for sure that he is not from TMZ.
If anyone wants to see necked people, go to syfy. Face Off is on. It’s like Top Chef, but they do make-up, costume, & prosthesis effects. Pretty cool.
And you know what? You can show nipples on TV if they’re painted.
Alrighty then, lol!
Dame,
You can go to work with George if you want. He see’s naked people all day long.
But these are model men!
You have a point. He used to be the doctor for the
Oakland A’s in the 80′s. Too bad I didn’t know him then. Darn!
Lisa’s and Kyle’s Blogs are up.
Heh – Lisa explains why Brandi wasn’t invited to the wedding (she had never really met Pandora) but doesn’t mention Pamdana at all. Subtle – but skillful burn.
Completely off topic…
Has anyone used the Wen shampoo. I have to admit that I want to try it.
I do too. You go first! ha ha
Lol! I just might. Everytime I see that damn infomerical I am tempted.
Me three! Someone try it and report! (Please)
My friend tried it, I will message her and see if she is still using it. It has been a few months.
Oh great! Please let us know!
I’ve used and liked it. The only problem that I had was that it seemed to get a bit weighed down after a few months of use. I used it because I had SEVERELY damaged my hair and it really saved it! I don’t think you’ll regret buying it if you decide to do so! =)
Lynn, you say you are supplying transportation…..from how far away? Lol. What’s the mile limit?
Don’t worry, she is sending a G6 to pick me up. I’ll just have them swing by and get you before or after they get me. Where are you.
Fabulous! I’m in New Orleans. Look for the big park, you should see it from the air. I’ll be waiting near there. Can I bring wine on the G6? Do we have to chip in for gas/fuel?
And I quote:
We have arranged transportation for those who need it, email me for details! LynnAHudson@gmail.com
Sounds free to me!!
LOL!!
It’s been short but sweet. I’m off to a,hopefully,cough free nite – no Canadian geese mating calls from me tonite!
Why am I watching “1,000 ways to die”?
Because you didn’t take your Prozac today?
I wish I had Prozac!! I find it fascinating, but can only watch about 4 or 5 and then it’s too much.
You can have some of mine. It’s not working too well. Thinking about dipping it in chocolate to see if it helps.
Al Sharpton, Al sharpton.
What are you talking about?
Le Prozac she was wishing for.
PP… cause some of those ways to do die are kinda funny….LOL LOL and sometimes when I watch I am like…WTF…REALLY !!!!
I do laugh at some of them. I wonder if they make them up sometimes but people are so stupid, I doubt they have to make it up!
PP..I busted a gut on the dwarf swallowing the harmonica…Like REALLY !!!!!
This guy is in a bar, causes a fight, not involved in the fight, beer mug gets smashed against the bar, shard of glass flies through the air and cuts his carotid artery…
Have you seen the one where the woman’s implants exploded? That one cracks me up every time.
pchick…dang I missed that one… I just saw the one with the guy who sat on the jet plane seat and pulled the deploy button and shot thru the roof…LOL LOL LOL LOL…Now that was funny…
Hope this links. Anyways it’s “graphic”, but I lol so much at it. It’s backwards with text etc, but it’s the video that was on tv.
No, but I’m laughing thinking about it. Some woman welder just blew herself up!
PP..oh yea..the one in the van…HAHAHAHA
I just read a story on the Huffington Post that was about a woman’s implant saving her from being stabbed to death.
Princess Pindy – I grew up in La Mesa so I am somewhat familiar with where you live. Did you grow up there?
No, I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, in Granada Hills. We moved down here about 11 years ago. My friend that grew up across the street lives in La Mesa! I’m in Vista, but no one ever knows where that is. I had never heard of it before I moved down here. I like it because I’m just inland enough that if it’s foggy at the beach it’s still sunny here but not as hot as San Marcos or Escondido.
I envy you. I miss it.
Where are you now?
I am in Mississippi. If you are from Southern California, it requires a passport to get into the state. They don’t hanker much to furners around here. But once you are allowed in, then you are never allowed to leave. I am being held captive.
Is anybody watching WWHL? Andy looks upset. He’s not his bubbly self. IMO.
I can’t take him anymore.
Just turned it on.
Something’s bothering him, I agree.
Rm.. maybe they told him BH was not being renewed..Or Bravo got SERVED…..LOL
Darnit Diva. I was going to say the same thing. He just got served!
BB..great minds and all that stuff…LOL
I will watch tonight and see. Maybe working 5 days a week doesn’t agree with him.
I didn’t notice any difference but it’s possible he’s behaving himself a little in front of Gail. I was thinking that Gail and Fabio made good guests – but why exactly is Fabio there? Not that I mind – but is he getting a show or something?
So I am solely responsible for it being 8:23pm and 68 degrees out. I went and bought a heater at Costco and today, no more rain and sunny and warm.
I think you should return it and see what happens.
LOL!
Where’s Diva?
Just wanted to tell her I made a point of visiting the dairy aisle today, and stocked up on Reddi Whip.
BTW, I know not to shake first.
Rm.. sorry..had to run to the frig and HUFF my reddi whip …LOL
RM..BUT seriously…If you do plan on buying Reddi Whip…ALWAYS check to make sure the cap seal has not been compromised…They are huffing down here in fl and putting in back on the shelf…I always check NOW….
They already make me buy my Sudafed from behind the counter are they going to lock up my Reddi Whip next?? Where will it end?
PP..you should have heard me the first time I went to buy Advil cold and sinus and had to show ID..I went NUTZO..arms a flying …… and I can only buy THREE BOXES A YEAR here in fl…and they scanned my DL so it shows where ever I go to purchase…. UNREAL…What Country do I live in …?? Someone remind me please…..
I guess I will have to have my son, daughter and hubby buy my drugs for me! I don’t know what the limit here is. I am going to go look it up. I have to show my DL and fill out a form and sign it. Damn meth heads!!
PP…I was reading an article where now they have a way to make meth in 2 liter soda bottles w.o. the cold medicine..Of course these idiots are blowing them selves up or setting themselves on fire.. #good4them
I saw that yesterday and how it is costing taxpayer so much money for ER visits! I just looked it up and it is a Federal law. I can get 9 grams of Sudafed a month. More than that and they send the cops to your door! LOL I think I’m safe.
Diva, how timely, this guy just died from falling from a tree due to allergy induced vertigo. He was up in a tree so he could shoot his boss. Should have taken his sudafed!!
PP…hahahahahahahaaaaa….LOL LOL…. Now mr ford is yelling..whats so funny….
#GO TO SLEEP mr ford…
PP..SUCH BULLSHIT…
I concur!!
I just want to breathe damnit!
Now I know why the dairy dept manager in my grocery store always looks confused!
I tried to huff cool whip once but it wasn’t the same.
BB…thats because Cool whip is OIL not cream..hahahahaha
Oh, that ‘splains it. Lol.
BB,
Everybody knows you can’t get high on oil, unless it’s hash oil
I wouldn’t know anything about that PP. :-0
PP…yea …those were the good old days… HO…
You guys should put on Frontline
right now. They are showing how one can make meth
from Sudafed.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/meth/
Thanks PP. I have seen this before but it’s a good one.
So many lives destroyed from that drug.

BARF…Will not watch ……
So, I need to know what to wear to the upcoming soiree in Chicago. I don’t want to be underdressed or overdressed. Any suggestions?
One shouldered dress to start!
With long feathered earrings?
But of course!
And a hubcap necklace. And fur, gotta have fur. Oh, will I need a Merkin? It’s pretty cold in Chitown this time of year. I’m gonna have to sleep on it. Decisions, Decisions. Good nite PP and Diva and anyone else out there.
Maybe Sheree’ will lend you her “gold rope” necklace. I have the exact same one, except it was my daughter’s “golden lasso” when she was Wonder Girl at Comic Con!
BB… instead of a merkin… use the classic MUFF…. So shi shi shi….
Off to watch Golden Girls….
Add some left over tinsel from the Christmas tree to your hair! Ala Maloof! Check under the couch if you can’t find any, I swear that stuff gets everywhere! Lol
Off to watch Face Off and Top Chef. Had the neice down here since we babysat gneice2 for a few hours. Oh gosh that kid can clear a room at almost 2 months. Her new nickname is “(s)tinkerbell”. Those kids are full of surprises. A few weeks ago, they asked me to be a godmother and tonight they asked mom and I to be their witnesses as they get married on Valentine’s day. So excited now to take all my pintrest knowledge and get a reception planned for the weekend after! Lol. Good nights!
Goodnight everyone……..I’ve had to get up too early for that last 3 days and now I’m pooped and it isn’t even 10pm. See y’all tomorrow. Pleasant dreams everyone.
pg- i cant find the post you left me….:(
I left you a message yesterday because of the bombings going on.
I saw that one and replied to you.
I didn’t hear anything but I was in Telega which is a bit further than my house when I usually hear them.
OMGoodness. Dr. Sophy (sp?) was on Inside Edition talking as an Addition Expert regarding Demi Moore. I had to rewind to be sure that was Taylors date at the Sur opening.
City
he he he he
OK ADDICTION Expert….
He had a busy night, he was getting his a$$ kicked earlier by Nancy Grace!
I just watched the reunion video previews of BH and Kyle really disgusts me. The calculating remark was to Lisa and then Andy jumped in and I believe asked Kyle if she meant manipulative. Either way Lisa always had Kyle’s back in season 1 and also during this season. Kyle has been nasty and is a very nasty person. I didn’t fall for the suffering sister of an addict routine. She should have known better than to get her sister a gig on TV with all of her problems. She only did it so Kim would have income coming in and I believe Kim thought it would be her big breakthrough. I also think Kyle, Kim and Adrienne need to get a stylist. Kyle wears all kinds of baglike clothing, Kim is stuck in the 70′s and probably is wearing her mothers blouse. Adrienne dresses like her version of a what she thinks a high class hooker would wear. I think perhaps Camille should give those three style lessons. Better yet let’s have Michelle go at them! Getting back to Kyle she really is a pos, she just turns on anyone. Maybe Lisa is getting a spin-off and Kyle is like she says “jelly”.
OMG, Countess, at the final scene at Kyle’s house my thought was, “Kyle’s wearing her mother’s clothes!”
Princess, I think the Richards sisters kept their mother’s clothes and take them out every so often to wear LOL. I have to go take a peek now to see what Kyle was wearing.
It was the jacket that reminded me of something my mom would wear.
Anyone watch Touch? With the dude from 24, I think. Looks pretty cool.
Missed it!!! It started already? I just saw a commercial about it yesterday for the first time…and it started tonight?
Did you like it? I will set it to record for next week.
Ok, I just finished watching Tabatha
great episode, sad start, but happy ending 
Thanks for the blog about it BB
Now, going to sleep – see you all tomorrow.
OH!! DC housewives reruns tomorrow. If anyone is interested
Someone watched “The Exes”? Pretty funny
poor Holly finally had some, but is asked not to. “I broke Keving”
I was flipping channels and Lisa V was on Chelsea Handler, Ross was subbing for Chelsea. She said at the reunion that “a lot of shit was thrown my way”….
Good Morning!
Good morning Viki. No matter how much I try to “sleep in”, the dogs will not allow it. One gets up every morning at around 5:15. I let them both out and then we all go back to bed untul about 7:15 when the other one wants to get up and play. You can set your clocks by them. Lol
LOL My last dog was an early riser. Our current two like to sleep late! We crate them together at night and they sleep like babies till 8am. I get up very early for work & get ready and they sleep right through my noise:)
