Real Housewives of Orange County – The Blogs
Even when the world had labeled Camille Grammer the most hated Housewife ever, she hadn’t done anything nearly as bad as Tamra Barney! This one truly rivals “she who must not be named” without a doubt! The way that she hurts people and tries to destroy lives it’s like she’s a character on a TV Show and not a real person. It is difficult to believe that there are truly people like Tamra Barney walking on this earth with us. It’s scary!
Tamra Barney
The most horrible housewife has posted a blog! I can’t wait to hear her excuses for her horrendous behavior. It’ll be a wonder if she even realizes that she’s acted like classless trash… She calls her blog “The Reals vs The Fakes”. This should be good.
Please let’s address the weave in the room. . .Austin Powers Fembot, Barbarella, Stepford Wife, Dolly Parton, bird’s nest, I have heard all the jokes. Hell, I had a great time on Twitter laughing at some of them! Okay I get it, it wasn’t my best hair day. I had a new hair person that put about 10 clip-in hair pieces and by the end of the day I had a headache from holding up that weave. Live and learn. . .right?
WOW, she is even blaming the horrible hair on her stylist, what no mirror? The headache was likely from yelling at everyone all day. Yuck!
The Reunion is a time for all of use to reflect on the past season and to throw daggers at each other’s character. No, it is never nice and it is not exactly the most mature thing to do. . .But damn it’s entertaining! I thought everyone looked beautiful and definitely held their own. It was interesting to see everyone’s spot on the couch. Boy have things changed. I was very happy to be on that side of the couch with my true friends, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I break it down like this: The Reals vs. The Fakes. Now before you jump down my throat I am talking boobs people. . .or am I?
Entertaining? For whom? Beautiful? Well, that’s questionable and our fashion expert, Michelle already confirmed that we were right to be unimpressed. Who told Tamra it’s time to throw daggers at one another’s character? Is that what it says in her Bravo contract? Plenty of Housewives are able to participate in a reunion without becoming vile and cruel the way Tamra seems to do every season. This woman knows no boundaries and goes for the jugular.
Yes “things” have changed but Tamra hasn’t changed, she is the same trash we saw during her first season calling herself a “truck driver with tits”. The only thing Tamra changed is her target. Tamra is right about one thing, Bravo set up the ladies on the couch properly with the head mean girl in charge sitting in the #1 mean girl spot next to Andy!
Friends have definitely changed this season, and I am happy to say I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. Gretchen has tuned out to the best friend any girl could ask for. We talk all the time and text almost every day. Heather is amazing in every sense of the word. I am lucky to have both of them in my life.
It’ll be interesting to see the way both Tamra and Gretchen, who have both screwed over their ex-friends handle it when this new friendship ends. Now that they can see the way that each treat their ex-friends, that should give them both pause while building this friendship. Don’t reveal too much to each other unless you want it revealed at the next reunion or in the tabloids. What better way to judge a person than to see how they treat their ex-friends, ex-husbands and ex-boyfriends/girlfriends? Tamra is a huge failure as a person!
Now on to the other side of the couch. I would like to start off with Alexis. You have heard all of our arguments first hand, so I don’t feel that I really need to go there. What I would like to say is, I feel bad about the snarky comments I made all season to Alexis. I am a bit of a smart ass, and, let’s face it, she gives me good material. But the bottom line is Alexis is not a mean hearted person and it hurts me that my comments hurt her. However, we all signed up for this show that brings out the strongest part of our personalities for the others to judge. No one is being a bully because they are telling you what they think, this is what we ALL signed up for. Everybody has had a lot to say about everyone. No one is a innocent.
Is this a joke? True, Alexis is not a mean hearted person and it’s nice to see Tamra can admit that but Tamra is a vile hearted person! This is not what everyone signed up for 
Tamra, Jill Zarin made the same excuse. I cannot imagine that the Bravo contract requires these women to rip each other apart and it certainly doesn’t say you could be the victim of a cruel bitch like Tamra Barney.
I’m sure it is hard for some of us to hear the negative things others have to say, but it is also a great time to take note and work on those things.
It is interesting that Tamra keeps saying that this is a good opportunity for Alexis to work on herself and stop bragging about money and being pretentious, when is Tamra going to work on being a better, nice person? Alexis bragging is a whole lot easier to take than a vicious horrible woman like Tamra. Lucky for Alexis, hers is an easy fix, Tamra is trash and it’s embedded deep within her, good luck with that one Tamra.
After the reunion show wrapped, I went up to Alexis gave her a hug and apologized for hurting her feelings. I told her that I would like to go lunch to see if we can clear up some of this nonsense between us. I even invited her to go out to dinner with the other girls that night, but she declined. I meant every word and still hope that one day we can be okay with each other.
I hope Alexis continues to decline any invitation that Tamra extends, there is no way Tamra is sincere about wanting to make things right with Alexis. Why would anyone want to spend time with Tamra Barney? Tamra owes Alexis that apology and more, Alexis did absolutely nothing to Tamra and even refrains from speaking negatively about Tamra or anyone. Still Tamra continued to attack Alexis, screaming at her and enjoying every minute of it. Tamra is sick and twisted to have even approached Alexis after the way she treated her.
Vicki on the other hand has taking things to a whole other level. I don’t ever think I can go back to being her friend. I sat there on that couch and watched her deflect every question that came her way. . .It’s always someone else’s fault in her eyes. She takes responsibility for nothing and finds someone else to blame. From her passive aggressive comments to her downright lies. Her comments about how I “turned” on her is a mystery to me. I have never turned on her for one second. I have been nothing but a good friend to her for five years. I sat there many times when she went off on my ex-husband and I sat there like a child and let them both fight over what was best for me. I never challenged her for getting in between my marriage and definitely NEVER screamed at her for the nasty things she said to Simon. . .like I should have.
The fact that Tamra thinks that she should have screamed at Vicki basically tells us that she knows no other way to resolve conflict other than screaming profanity and lies at people. When it comes to Vicki, Tamra may have at one time had Vicki’s best interest at heart and may have been concerned but Tamra doesn’t have the smarts or the class to handle something like this properly.
Tamra brought up the “attack” on Vicki from two seasons ago as another attack on Alexis and Alexis reminded everyone that Vicki said, “Bring it on” – Alexis forgot to remind Tamra that she attacked Vicki that day too! She didn’t have Vicki’s back at all.
By the way, Vicki really needs to stop saying, “Bring it on”, she said the same thing to her daughter this season and it got her into more trouble again.
I heard about Brooks from Vicki four years ago, she claimed he was a “good friend,” 
someone she talked about all the time and often visited in Mississippi. It wasn’t until last year that I met him. I thought he was charming and made Vicki happy. About six months into getting to know him, I noticed that something was off. I could not put my finger on it but something with this guy Brooks (or should I say David, his real name) just didn’t make sense. Her friends, family, and office staff started calling me with the same feelings. Then an overwhelming amount of emails where coming through my fan page from people that have had “bad dealings” with Brooks. So of course I was concerned, who wouldn’t be? The bottom line: friends don’t let friends date losers!
Tamra is determined to justify her actions by pointing at how bad Brooks is and I don’t think anyone disagrees that Brooks is a loser but there are ways of going about handling this type of situation and clearly Tamra is clueless.
On to better things. I am excited to be going on a family vacation next week to NYC with all the kids and my god-daughter Kacey. It will be our first family vacation with Eddie as a family. . .I hope he survives! We are spending a few days in the city. The kids are very excited to go see The Lion King and the Statue of Liberty. Then we are going to spend a few days in the Hamptons with my WinesbyWives.com business partner Chris and his lovely family. Wines by Wives is sponsoring VH1 Save the Music charity event on July 21. If you’re in the Hamptons I hope you will attend, love to see you there. Enjoy your summer.
Apparently there was more to Tamra’s blog but Bravo cut it and asked her to save it for next week after the reunion finale, Tamra decided she knew better and posted this on Facebook:
My blog is up! Bravo removed my comments about Vicki’s nasty comments about me in her blog this week. They asked me to save it for next week. … as you know I do not have patients so here is what I have to add:
here are a couple comments from Vicki’s Blog I would like to address:” We went to Mexico together to celebrate my birthday and Eddie’s birthday months prior to the media exposing Brooks, and we told them our fears of introducing Brooks to the world. They both encouraged us and said we would show everyone our new boyfriends and to show how happy we both were”
This is a straight up LIE and Eddie has the text messages to prove it. Eddie went to lunch with Brooks before we started filming and told him that with all the recent stuff in the press about his child support issues that it would NOT be a good idea for him to film. Truth is Brooks did not like that comment and said that vicki could not be authentic if he was not thee to
film with her. Eddie told him he thought it was a bad idea considering his past, but he wanted too, to film very little and to keep out of the drama like he did.
“I would question Tamra, if Eddie didn’t have any money would you still be with him? I doubt it. Furthermore, Tamra does not work and it would be very difficult for her to support her three young children with no child support, Eddie. To say money doesn’t matter to Tamra, is being a “hypocrite.” Oops. . .did I say that?
First off, the love me and eddie share is magical. We both feel like the luckiest people in the world to have found each other. Eddie is the most loyal, loving, caring, compassionate, understanding, patient and motivating man I know, that is what makes him successful in my eyes and that Is why I love him so deeply. I am not a person that can be bought, I have worked hard my whole life to keep my self afloat, I am a survivor! I declined to ever receive alimony becuase I am capable of making my own money and don’t beleive that any ex should have to pay for their ex’s “life style”.
I have several contracts and endorsement deals,(one that I just signed today and cant wait to share) I am opening a fitness studio with my OWN money, Im raising 3 kids, I work for Bravo and NEWS ALERT…. We launched a very successful company called WWW.winesbywives.com….rememb
Overconfidence on Tamra’s part apparently leads her to believe that she can ignore a direction from Bravo. Possibly she thinks that since Bravo spent so much time and money on her engagement storyline, they won’t fire her ass but I’m hoping that she is dead wrong!
My response to Tamra that I am sure she will delete soon:
Lynn Nchicago Maybe Bravo was trying to save you from looking like an idiot. You should have listened to them, maybe they would have corrected your bad grammar, misspellings and just plain nastiness. There is not one redeeming quality in you. I hope Bravo fires you! HASTA
It is amazing to me that Tamra’s behavior has actually turned people to defend Vicki and her ridiculously obnoxious boyfriend Brooks but the truth is Tamra has successfully taken the focus away from just how bad Brooks really is and has put the focus on how horrible she is. Quite the task but Tamra managed to do it.
Regardless of what Andy Cohen says, Simon Barney is entitled to say whatever he wants to and when so many lies come out of his ex-wife’s vile mouth, he has the right to set the record straight, particularly when it comes to him and his children.
Simon Barney:
“When is enough, enough? After being bombarded w emails this week about things said and/or implied on the recent reunion show regarding me and my kids. I felt I should respond.
1st: It upsets me that my ex would bring up a personal private and confidential matter involving therapy with my kids, and then alter the facts of its purpose. The session she attended was set up weeks before she went to Bora Bora, and had nothing to do with her engagement.
2nd: She had already moved the kids into eddie’s house way before getting engaged. Not after as incorrectly stated.
3rd: I didn’t react badly or care about my ex getting engaged as stated on the show, I do however care what my kids feel and how things effect them. I put their well being as my first priority in life, and always will…..
I’m glad that Simon got his say and while he kept it short and sweet, I’m sure he would have liked to say a whole lot more. When Tamra appeared on Watch What Happens Live a viewer asked Tamra a question about a comment that Simon made and Andy Cohen ripped him apart saying, “shut the f*** up Simon!” Really Andy? Tamra should be 
allowed to lie and say anything she wants to say and Simon should remain silent? Why shouldn’t he have his say? Who is Andy to get involved anyway?
Why isn’t Andy seeing the negative comments about Tamra Barney? Viewers will likely tell him all that he needs to know by the ratings for part two of this vicious reunion. Just like the New York Housewives last season, we don’t want to see such a vile bitch on our TV on a show that is supposed to entertain us rather than spike our blood pressure.
Real Housewives of New Jersey
Caroline and Lauren Manzo appeared on Bethenny yesterday to talk about Lauren’s weight struggles and eventual lap band surgery. Bethenny was clearly concerned about sending the wrong message to viewers about an “easy way out” particularly since Bethenny is all about eating right and portion control.
Is it just me or does it look as if Caroline has gained a little bit of weight herself? Maybe her lap band needs adjusting?
Teresa Giudice
Last weekend the New York Post revealed:
Teresa Giudice wants back in the house. We hear the pushy “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star plans to meet with Bravo exec and host of “Watch What Happens Live” Andy Cohen this month to negotiate a return to the show, even though Bravo hasn’t yet confirmed a fifth season. “Teresa doesn’t want to wait till the last minute to negotiate her contract,” says a source close to the “Housewives” franchise. “She wants the job, and she’s nervous about waiting.” Last year, Bravo dramatically axed Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Kelly Bensimon and Cindy Barshop from “Real Housewives of New York City” before it started its fifth season to bring in new blood. Zarin told the Hollywood Reporter about the experience of playing the waiting game: “In June, it wasn’t even a question if they were inviting me back. By August, conversations started to change. They were hesitant to commit.” Giudice, following her successful appearance on “The Celebrity Apprentice,” wants to nip the wait in the bud. A Bravo rep said, “There’s been no official announcement about season five yet.” A rep for Giudice didn’t get back to us.

Teresa is traveling a lot, I don’t know how she does it all! Last weekend Teresa spent her weekend at the beach in the Jersey Shore with her kids. After a positive meeting with Andy Cohen on Tuesday, she’s off to Orlando this weekend, today (Saturday) she will be making an appearance at Barnes and Noble, if you’re in the area stop by and see her:
Teresa Giudice At 1, I will be at Barnes & Noble, Orlando/Colonial Plaza Market Ctr. Who’s coming?
I knew when I was coming to Orlando that I wanted to meet friends of the show! Today is going to be great!
Tomorrow come out and see me at Barnes & Noble, Orlando/Colonial Plaza Market Ctr, 2418 East Colonial Drive

NeNe Leakes
Yesterday reports of NeNe Leakes being fired spread like wildfire across the internet, so much so that NeNe felt she needed to address those reports on Twitter:
NeNe Leakes Defaming a persons character is what some people do best! I hav never had a physical altercation on our show
The rumors of me being involved n a physical altercation or possibly being fired from the housewives is NOT TRUE
I hav so many positive things 2 look forward 2 & i’am n such a great place right now business & personal

Real Housewives of New York
I just love WetPaint, they not only have the latest scoop but their editor now sends me an email with the articles directly which saves me a whole lot of time… Thanks to WetPaint!
From WetPaint:
Jill Zarin took a nasty swipe at her former Real Housewives of New York co-star Ramona Singer Wednesday during her first appearance on ABC’s Good Afternoon America. Claiming Ramona’s recent speaking event at the Learning Annex had been a bust, Zarin said she heard from a “source” that the event had been expecting 500 people, but that less than 100 had actually shown up.
Speaking exclusively with Wetpaint Entertainment, Ramona gave us her thoughts on Jill’s latest round of zingers.
“First of all, I was honored to be asked to speak at the Learning Annex,” Ramona told us. “Successful, notable business people like Donald Trump and Russell Simmons have spoken there. Jill has never been asked, so I think it’s definitely a case of sour grapes.”
“But I do want to clarify a few things. The size of the average Learning Annex class is 20 to 40 people. When you bring in a celebrity, the numbers start at about 50. I had about 150 people attend and they all pre-registered. So we KNEW who was coming. We didn’t expect more! And what Jill said about moving seats around is ridiculous.”
“I wish Jill only the best,” Ramona concluded. “But it’s sad she’s still using me to stay in 
the limelight. She needs to let go of the past and move on with her life.”
BRAVA Ramona! Well said and so true! It is interesting to me how the New York Housewives who were fired can’t seem to let go of the past, we see it here with “she who must not be named” and Simon VanKempen who actually created a web site that reports ONLY on Bravo ratings. The site is clearly meant to show a drop in ratings for Real Housewives of New York since his wife was fired, why else do this? It’s time-consuming and really sort of useless. How pathetic is that? It reeks of desperation.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Every season the Housewives have to take a trip together. While I don’t think Bravo (or the production company) forced any of these women to go on these trips (no Kelly, they don’t) I think it is strongly encouraged. The destinations have to keep getting better and better, how many times can you send them to the Caribbean? (a few more if you look at RHONY)
To that end the Beverly Hills Housewives are traveling to Paris, France to film their upcoming season. It’s nice to see that Kim Richards made it to the airport on time for their flight. 
From Daily Mail:
They looked like bosom buddies at the airport today, but who knows how long the feuding cast of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills can keep smiling at one another.
Some cast members met today at Los Angeles airport for their flight to Paris, France.
It will be their first international trip as a group and it promises to be tres dramatique!
The Daily Mail reports that Taylor arrived at the airport alone and dressed down but still had an expensive handbag and shoes.
Taylor, who was recently photographed drinking with her daughter on her lap at a 
Malibu park, arrived to the airport separately.
Unlike the other Housewives, the thin bottled blonde was dressed down in jeans and a T-shirt. Naturally, she accessorized wore high heels and an expensive hang bag.
Where are Lisa, Adrienne and Camille? Hopefully taking another flight. Why is Mauricio going along? hmm
Just three days ago Camille tweeted that she was in Hawaii, possibly she is skipping the trip to Paris. I’m surprised Bravo didn’t force her, huh Kelly?
Brandi Glanville kids are going on vaca with dad, so I am going on vaca with pals!! 
packing now
Thank you to all of you wonderful, amazing readers who send me links to the Housewives news. Love it! Lynn~

Our deepest sympathies to Sylvester Stallone and his family for the loss of his son Sage 
Stallone (36)
From The New York Post:
The son of Sylvester Stallone has been found dead in his Hollwood home.
Sage Moonblood Stallone, 36, was found dead this afternoon at an apartment, his attorney confirmed to The New York Post. And sources tell Page Six Sage Stallone is believed to have died following an overdose of pills.
The source said pills were found at his home, but it was unclear if his death was a suicide or accidental. The LAPD said the case has been referred to the coroner.
Sage’s attorney George Braunstein said Sage was found a couple hours ago in his home. He told The Post: “I have just gotten a report that he was found dead at his home.”

I think I almost pee-ed my pants when I read Tamra describing her and Eddie’s love as ‘magical’. Not only does it make her sound like a teenage girl who scribbles Justin Beiber’ name in her journal…the irony of it makes me laugh. Magic is NOT real. It is an illusion.
RR^^^^^^^^^^^^
so funny, I thought exactly the same thing!!

Wait, I’m confused, isn’t Camille NOT coming back?
I believe Camille is coming back as a limited time Housewife!
I think Camille agreed to film, but she’s not a full-time HW anymore.
The Daily Mail needs to correct itself. Traylor doesn’t buy expensive bags. The two Birkins that she gave to MMR as part of the settlement did not have certificates of authenticity. They were knockoffs kinda like Fish Lips, herself.
Camille IS coming back!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/21/camille-grammer-real-housewives-beverly-hills-season-3_n_1534564.html
I wonder if she is sticking to her no kids no boyfriend filming rule. If so, it would be kind of limited. I also wonder if she and Kelsey sold that beautiful estate she lived in; wasn’t it up for sale? I don’t remember. I know the Hamptons house was listed because she probably spends no time here anymore.
I am not sure what the difference is between, strongly encourage and force, when you are talking about an unstable crazy women (Kelly) negotiating with a production company run by a powerful network (Bravo/NBC). Since Andy was raised in a newsroom, he is not incapable of lying or shading the truth to keep his shine. They wanted Kelly to go to Scary Island and this sinister element did what they needed to do, to get her there. There is no shame in baiting the mentally unstable, in this day and age. I am just glad that Bethenny and the baby were not harmed. Andy and his crew of misfits did not even think about that for one minute. IMO.
omg does Shrill ever stop i mean really doesnt she realize her 15 minutes were up teh second she got fired
as for Tamzilla well at least she admited that Alexis wasnt a mean spirited person,now if she would only admit the only reason she was mean to her all season was to actually have something to do on the show
Bravo Ax that bitch pronto
From the DizziestQueen’s keyboard to the SilliestQueen’s EARS! Wake up and smell the matza AndyC! The viewers are talking!
Like I tweeted to you, girl where do you find the time to do all of this????
As for Tamra, I love how she says she’s doing more work than Vicki for their wine on line company. On facebook people are cancelling their subscription because of the disgusting Jesus Juggs comments & mugs she is now hawking.
Norstram has been asked and there is no anti Alexis page. I read on some blog somewhere that Gretchen is very friendly with one of the saleswomen so I am sure they are in cohoots.
Yeah, Tamra those are your REAL friends. I don’t think she’ll ever cross Heather, cos Heather is who she wishes she was. Besides, having a plastic surgeon husband, Tamra is gonna need him for all of her future work.
It is true. While I never hated Vicki (I didn’t like the things she did or said), I cannot help but feel for her. Maybe cos she’s an original HW when the show was truly about women and their families, their struggles and their friendships. I remember Vicki giving Laurie a job, and crazy as Vick is, I still find her good television.
This is a woman that has no self-esteem. We all agree that Brooks is a con man, and hopefully Vicki will dump him (I read he changed his facebook status to single, so there is hope!). What Tamra does to Vicki in part 2 of the reunion is unforgivable.
Stay away.
I still believe Tamra’s main issues w/Alexis is because Alexis & Jim stayed friends with Simon.
It will be interesting to see season 8………….I think the three witches will definitely be back. Terry, the 6th housewife, already offered their house for Tam’s wedding. Gretchen will prob be maid of honor. They need to add someone who will truly take on Tamra. Cut her down to size.
You are right about the reason Tampra turned on Alexis. Apparently, the Bellino’s took Simon to their church and offered support. It’s certainly not a justifiable reason for Tampra to attack Alexis the way she has, but it is the only thing that makes sense. It’s one thing to think that you are strong enough to take out Alexis, but let’s just say that Tampra is in for a rude ‘awakening’ when she decided to go after the Big Guy, himself.
Tamra’s also jealous that Bellinos did that deceptive but legal house deal to get out from under an upside down mortgage and Tramptits is jealous that she didn’t do that with her own upsidedownlivingbeyondhermeans house.
It didn’t work out though. Alexis said that they were paying cash for a new home but the home that they currently live in is a rental. Maybe, the Bellino’s had an aha! moment during the reunion. If they proceeded to buy as Alexis told the world on camera, the lienholder of the home that they sold short could have gone after them (not that they would… it’s not the norm but also not uncommon for peeps to sell short and subsequently buy).
Yes, and Tamra being a real estate agent, should’ve known how to slip through the cracks herself, but she didn’t. Just another reason for her to be jealous and want to try to put the Bellinos down.
Ooh love. That might trend on twitter. #upsidedownlivingbeyondhermeanshouse
haha Sue, sleep is overrated
Out the rest of the day, my son has a baseball tournament so you all have a GREAT weekend! xoxo See you all for RHONJ tomorrow night! xoxo
Love your comment Sue, and I agree completely! Tamra is T H E worst. An incredibly horrible person!
Yes sue. They need a new HW that’ll takt Tamra down but in a way that we can all respect.
lol I’d love that too if they don’t fire Tamra. Publically firing Tam would be the best imo.
lol at your trending idea. Do you have to be on twitter for hash tags to work? (still learning)
Yes. You don’t have to follow them though. I only follow Heather from OC & I did that the beginning of the season. I do have Tamra on Facebook and I did that 2 seasons ago to see her nastiness up close.
I agree on that reason and said it on here before. Tamra even mention to Alexis that she was mad that she and Jim were still friends with Simon. Both Jim and Simon believe in the man is the he’d of the house and…
Tamra had to stay in check with Simon to afford her life style. As long as Simon had money she was good . But when financial issues came up she say a way out with Eddie. As Simon posted the pictures of Eddie, Tamra and him in Vegas, she was sliding with Eddie then. she then could act and do as she really wanted because she had a man who would afford and allow it.
I do think there is a benefit that Eddie is getting out of it.That’s to be seen.
Can a woman receive alimony if there’s adultery? Tameras lawyer had the strangest look on his face during that convo! It was play acting.
I really don’t think that hussy could of gotten alimony if she tried?
Who knows maybe Simon is evil? But I saw good in him and he loves his family. His main issue seemed to be that Tamera wanted to spend everything and whore around. Remember the taking the kids somewhere she didn’t show up comment in that Limo? When trashy Tamera said she wanted a divorce.
I think Simon was struggling to keep his family together and stop his wife from ruining them and I felt bad for him!
In his shoes I’d sue for slander! Tamera needs to get attention on her own and stop using the father of her children as the reason for all her failures. The kids will hate her for it later. Parents should remember the children love them both! They are half of each of them and when you slam your X, you telling your babies you hate half of what they are. Shame on Tamera! She is true trash!
“The bottom line: friends don’t let friends date losers!”
^^^^^
I’m still reading but did Simon’s friend warn him about Tamra when they were dating?
That should say “Simon’s Friends” plural.
Great blog Lynn.
Wait, she’s complaining she let Vicki yell and interfere in her relaionship to Simon. But now, it’s her obligation to stick her nose into the Brooks affiare. Oh, and she’ll never go back to being Vicki’s friend! Now that’s she used her for venture WBW gain, and is busy sucking up to someone of her true ilk…Heather.
Thanks for putting us straight Ms.Waddles, Barney, Judge!
Well said B Hive. Ms Waddles. Love it.
I love your response to Tamera, it was perfection!!
I tweeted that to GAA and I sincerely hope they see that Jill is just going to spew lies about her former castmates as opposed to being sincere.
Have a great Saturday!!
Happy Birthday Pantry Viewer and Girly Squirlly(a day late)
Here’s a kicker. The US Olympic team will wear Ralph Lauren uniforms made in China.
Wearing Chinese made uniforms waiving flags that also likely say made in China (smh).
Worst is the Ralph Lauren Logo is larger than the US flag!
People, the Olympic’s is a large international corporation funded business. Is any one here really surprised that some of our uniforms are made in China. Why wouldn’t it different then most of the manufacturing in the world today. What is interesting to me is that the news corporations waited until it was too late to really do much about it, except bitch. I think they could have broke the news before the garment’s had been made, and the problem corrected, but the media does not provide information that works in that way. The media just seems to like to create unsolvable conflict that leaves the public feeling powerless. IMO.
This is cute. Sad but sweet story.

No CAP. I got that off of twitter. I have an acquaintance in Bellingham though.
Are you in Seattle?
Yes!
Real Housewives, Really Ugly Houses?
http://www.nj.com/morris/index.ssf/2012/07/real_housewives_really_ugly_ho.html
Although, it’s a tad garrish for my taste, the Gorga’s house is an architectural masterpiece compared to Teresa’s. Ugly is an understatement. The Guidice property has absolutely no curb appeal, and the interior finishes leave me wondering WT_ were you thinking? The green marble trimmed in fake gold bathroom is (to quote Teresa) ‘disgusting.’ …. lol!
I said that to myself the season T moved in. Remember when she was paying for the furniture in the store w/$100 bills? I was like, that is some guady furniture.
N.9 and N. 10 on the list. Interesting…I wonder if this is a competitor trying to sell a house that made up the list… Don’t know much about that website.
I agree that Melissa’s House has great curb appeal -while teresa’s has none! As for the comment about an Arquitect liking any of them is so common in their world… no arquitect I know recognize what another arquitect did as good… unless it is Frank Lloyd Wright or Le Corbusier…
Who is the blonde woman in the blue jacket next to Mauricio in the picture above?
Also, Tamra says” “We launched a very successful company called http://WWW.winesbywives.com….remember that company? the one that I am working my ass off while you sit on yours! The one that I am marking the hell out of and bringing 10 times more money then you are! ”
She is “marking” the hell out of the company. Does that mean she is peeing in the corners of the office to mark her territory?
Lol… nothing like arguing with someone on-line. I guess it beats talking to yourself.
Could it be Yolanda (in the picture)?
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/04/david-foster-wife-yolanda-hadid-real-housewives-beverly-hills-season-three
I suspect the blonde by Mauricio is the new BH housewife.
How do I detest TrampaBarney aka OldBitterBarney? More than a Jillzilla/JodyClaman/VileKyle/CatO transformer that turns into a monstrous ROTO-ROOTER Vacuum which sucks the beauty and life of their victims to feed their jealousy. She is truly a menace to decent society and a stupidhead. This ancient Liver-SpottedTitHick has got to GO!
I’m so glad that karma is hitting this evil whore where she can feel it… her malnourished wallet. Wines by Wives is getting canceled by the butt load due to her ugly religious slurs and attempts to capitalize on them. Her selling those ridiculously overpriced wineglasses with the vulgar catchphrase on it has backfired! #Don’t mess with Jesus
To believe she has fans willing to pay 25bucks for a $2 craft project from the dollar store is astounding! Someone needs to call ChildProtectionServices as my 3rdEye is seeing poor Sophia and the other BarneyKids with burned fingers tips making these glasses while EddieMunster cracks the whip and TurnstyleTammy tries drumming up orders. #CPS/ChildLaborLaws save TamraBarneyKids and their fingerprints.
I predict that “Wines by Wives” will be coming to a Dollar Store near you, soon.
Turnstyle Tuna Taco Tammy
Hey Fannie it’s been awhile I think. Welcome back.
Thank you SO much lovemama! You’re a sweetie!!
Aww thanks and same to you. Please don’t be such a stranger. •._.·°¯))؟•
I love the cancellation notices she’s getting! And I also agree with other opinions that the main reason she dislikes Alexis is because of the Bellinos’ friendship with Simon.
Hi Everyone, I read the blog every day but don’t always have time to post. Besides you all always so eloquently say what I am thinking and I thank you for that. Today, however, I just have to say something about Tamra. I don’t think I’ve ever really felt offended by anything any of the housewives have said until but I have to say my peace. I hope this isn’t inappropriate for me to post either…
The “Jesus Jugs” remark is so unbelievably offensive to me I am writing to Bravo to express my distaste. I am not a big fan of organized religion or plastic surgery, but I find nothing hypocritical about a married, religious, Jesus-loving woman (Alexis) presenting herself as a sexy, beautiful woman. It is the Tamras of the world who put religious people in sack cloth and ashes and hold them to some weird standard of dress and comportment and not the folks who actually attend church and try to be good people. It seems to me that people who attend church and are enthusiastic about it are just trying to be good people just as the Tamra’s of the world are enthusiastic and vocal about their life choices like not attending church and flaunting their sex lives on national television. Some religious people can be annoying in their evangelism and Alexis has said some things that are admittedly ignorant, but I don’t see the difference between Tamra and Alexis except that Tamra takes it to a whole new, disgusting level. Throwing out the verbal assault of “Jesus Jugs” really takes it beyond any normal verbal sparring. Alexis has done exactly what again to be deserving of such vitriol??? Getting a boob job, nose job and dressing like they all do? Is that her crime? As long as Alexis is not dancing on a pole in a strip club or having sex in a bathtub on tv claiming to be a church follower or loving mother (which would be hypocritical now wouldn’t it), how she chooses to treat her God-given body is her business and not Tamra’s. As far as I can tell in the edited world of “reality” TV, Alexis is a genuinely nice person who doesn’t attack others, tries to find the good in others and is trying to be a devout Christian (as she interprets that) along with being human and stumbling at times. She is not my cup of tea, but I really defend her righ to her choices just as I defend Tamra’s right to hers. How dare anyone who claims to be “tolerant” (Tamra) be so intolerant as to attack and imply that someone is being nonreligious or religiously hypocritical for having plastic surgery?
Bravo keeps pounding us with the “Jesus Jugs” thing and I have turned it off and may never turn it on again. I really can’t stand it. I hope they get rid of this whole group it’s hopelessly down the tubes. Thanks for listening…:)
IMO you’re pretty eloquent. Hope you post more often.
thanks! I love this blog…keeps me sane when I watch the shows…:)
I can relate.
{◡}
FATB Bravo!! Great letter.
Both Christians ans non-Christians have become downright snarky when opening their mouths, no matter what the subject these days. If you were to wait after service to mingle with the church-goers at a social gathering you would see the true gentle “Christian” behavior. These are not the people spouting judgement on the news or blogs. Yes, there are those who like to grandstand to hear their own voices, but they are not the average “Christian.”
Unfortunately, there are those so sensitive about religion that they won’t stand to hear theological discussion from the calm, rational Christians. Since it is not “Christian-like” to argue about it, the true Christian beliefs are never heard.
Society as a whole is judgemental today. Religion is a huge scapegoat to spread intolerance and ignorance. I believe Alexis is a true Christian and is very brave to put it all out there. She isn’t using it to judge others.
Yup, if you don’t like what you hear, turn the channel.
None of us know these women. We only know what we hear on TV, read in the rags (both in print and online). They are always denying one rumor or another. Alexis is no saint and Tamra is not the devil. I personally did not find the Jesus Jugs comment offensive. I remember when Jesus Barbie was first said….seems like a lot of posters here thought it was hilarious. I do hope they replace some of the cast. Vicky because her storyline has run it’s course…Alexis, because she really is rather boring and (excuse me) dumb as dirt. I have a lot less tolerance for the ignorant “housewives” than I do the mean ones.
BTW, I have a close relative who is in upper management for Fox5 in San Diego. Gretchen’s take on the story is true, they did want Gretchen but she wouldn’t think of it with Alexis in the job. And Alexis was unceremoniously dismissed from the Fox5. She was somewhat of a joke in the station.
It is sad to me that it took a faith issue for the majority to take offense at Tamra. She has always treated others with reckless disregard after her first season. She seemed to always want to go after the new wife each season. I never had much time for her regardless of how she might feel about her god. And one more thing, a lot of religious people want to have the freedom to worship but do not believe in the freedom for other to do the same. We are a Christen nation governed by laws that dictate separation of church and state. This is one of the biggest lies that this nation may not survive because of. Actions base on faith rather then law are fundamentally flawed and will lead us down a road to ruin. It leads our societal group think to be susceptible to fairy tales and brain washing, which is dangerous to our survival, and unevolved. IMHO.
It wasn’t that faith issue for me CAP. It was the whole season of fakery and meanness.
Yes I know lovemama.
That being said, Gretchen should have originally said to Lex, “I hope you do well on you new job. (period end of sentence). Or “Is there anything that I can do to help you?” Why was it necessary to tell Lex that she was asked to be on the show? What Lex didn’t know, wouldn’t hurt her. If Gretchen turned it down because of her friend, then stay a friend and keep it moving.
I have a friend who introduce me to a very good contact. He is a nice man but is a flirt. She is a married woman who would never cheat on her husband, but when this guy flirts she just eats it up. She tells me, when he invites her to lunch (business Lunches) or events. He has also invited me. She will text her something and has also texted me something similar. He even invited me to a luncheon to honor her. I declined and didn’t even tell her of his communications with me, because it will send a strive to her ego. It’s not necessary.
Just as with Gretchen, what was the purpose of telling?
One more thing to add…Gretchen says things to her friends because she wants to be honest with them. She says that she isn’t try to hurt them, just help them.
So Gretchen can be honest to everyone except herself. Why lie about the hair extensions and the lips? Lex, at least she admits to the fake jewels, nose and breast. (BTW, that will be the next thing that Gretchen will confess to being augmented , her breast) Who’s the fake here?
Gretchen’s boobs aren’t that big….I don’t think she’s had them done. She picks a bra that pushes them up and in so she gets cleavage.
Good Afternoon All,
Coming out of Reader Only, to ask if anyone else gets an add from Walmart asking to take a survey when you refresh the page?
If this is legit and will help support Lynn, I will most certainly take it, just checking to make sure it is not a virus.
Many thanks to any and all who answer…now back to reading, have a great weekend,
Kat
I get it too…wasn’t sure whether it was legit either
I also got it and a warning from my antivirus software. I wouldn’t enter any info unless Lynn says it is legit.
Welcome. I don’t do the ads. Sorry I can’t help.
Not on my cell. Welcome to the ride!
I got it and started doing it and then realized that it’s a scam – not legit, just ignore it – close it and you’ll return to Lynn’s page.
Wasn’t Lynn accepting advertising now? That’s the only reason I can come up with? I got the ad myself a couple of times so far.
I use Mozilla and it has ad block so I don’t ads on any websites.
I totally agree with what you had to say. I think it is strange the way people hold Christians to some impossibly high standard when believers are the one who truely understand they can never be good enough, can never be perfect, and are in need of a Savior. We can try are best and we will fail but we know it is by the grace of God that we are saved, not by anything we do.
I would just like to add that I think it is time to stop saying & typing Tamra’s nasty saying. It only gives her more attention and I get offended all over again!
Opps….In response to Formerly Addicted to Bravo above.
I promise to never type it again…good point.
I haven’t typed it and won’t.
V55,
I agree, every day I ask for grace and mercy, enough for my self and enough to give to others.
I am saved by His Amazing Grace and so not worthy, this I know from my own attitude and judegment of others,(mostly on reality shows).
Ramona was pretty nice in her reply to Our Lady of Woodmere. Ramona could have pointed out that Mrs. Bawby’s GAA gig is only temporary at this time. She could have shortened her reply to four words if she really wanted to be mean: Jewish Federation, Dallas, Texas.
Ramona is good about clearing up mis-information but not giving ill any more attention.
LOL FLG. Great points.
To Vikki above I think that letting Tamra’s nasty comment die is like sweeping it under the rug and letting her off the hook. I’m not religious and I’m outraged at their hypocrisy.
And re the religion thing compare it to being in a Muslim country where there isn’t freedom of and from religion and all bells and whistles they put on the public vs being here where there is freedom of and from religion yet we get the one religion pushed on us quite often. And then that one religion claims persecution if some ask that the religion not be pushed on everyone.
I said before when accused of being an atheist and I’m not. If someone here is smart enough to explain where superstition ends and religion starts I’d love to hear it. I do think there’s more to life than just what we see here and now. But after seeing all the harm caused by religion and the business it’s become I just can’t go any of those paths. Along the lines of the propaganda posted a few days ago and I’m sorry for the biased source below I got from a friend but this is abominable hate speech from a “Christian”. It’s more than just not measuring up to what is preached. Too many Christians use the title as a shield to just be inhumane uncaring and dishonest. Reminds me of the movie The Help all those Christians and blacks were treated so poorly.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/06/08/1098552/-Obama-is-Killing-America
I didn’t say to just let her comment die it just doesn’t need to be repeated over and over. If it is offensive when she says it and Andy repeats it and Bravo uses the sound bite over and over, it is still offensive when it’s typed here over and over. You can refer to her nasty comment, because everyone here knows what it was, without repeating it. All the rest is really none of my business.
Fair enough.
The rest is your business if you have answers that I’m searching for and care to share. If there’s any group out there who can provide a good discussion it’s this one. And back to your comment above Christians themselves put themselves on that pedestal imo.
Christopher Hitchens was super smart (although not likeable to the gen public) and he couldn’t come up with answers about religion. I look forward to the evolved days where people will live their faith and we’ll know them by their fruits as the Bible says. What a great world that would be.
lovemamaearth,
What is he the president of the KKK?
BTW I feel the same way about religion. I’ve seen so many horrific things in my life to believe that there is something out there watching over us. I wish I felt differently.
He does sound like the KKK doesn’t he. Ugh.
I do believe there’s something but we sow what we reap and it’s often not pleasant so what some call G-d wouldn’t seem like a loving entity– sometimes we act out of ignorance and sometimes out of arrogant selfishness like Tamra is doing now. But I’ve seen enough fruit from the business of religion to know it’s not for me.
I find my spirituality through classical music.
I have little doubt that Beethoven didn’t write those symphony’s by himself. Sounds silly but not to me.
Oh I agree with you on music. And in nature.
Yes.
Agree with you. Jillzy needs to realize one had to buy a ticket ($20) to attend Ramona’s learning annex event therefore they knew how many people were attending. And those attending also got a gift of Ramona Pinot (generous and also good marketing).
I would rather a bottle of Ramona’s Pinot than the book jillzy was giving at the Jewish Federation in Dallas.
I always expect Ramona’s response to be outrageous as her behavior on the show and I’m surprised that her response was quite tame.
FLG I like that little touch.
Tamra is such an idiot. She doesn’t have “patients”??? And she calls Alexis dumb??
Don’t you just love it?
Powell that’s sweet of you about JC Dugard. Seeing the light after that dark period. Poor kid(s).
Im watching ID Diane Sawyer interviewin JC Dugard. When she speaks of the good Timesas a kid w/her mom, something as simple as sitting on the porch looking at the moon and when she came home at 29 her mom teaching her how to drive, it just makes me smile.
That was the best news that day when she was found. I’ll never forget it.
What kills me is the fact that social services were on the property many times.
Why didn’t they go outside to examine the backyard?
That book killed me. Could not put it down. What a story. That guy is not getting of prison ever, right? I remember his sentence was many years. Was it as absolute as Sandusky’s or Madoff’s sentences?
I have a feeling he will be there for life. I know he had skin cancer but I don’t know if it was melanoma or not.
He might not have all that long to live if it was melanoma.
I can’t believe how Jaycee has been able to not let her anger bring down her happiness. She is an inspiration that’s for sure. I wonder how her children are doing?
Do you know?
Just like Elizabeth Smart. That shows you the love, respect, values and faith they learned from their families.
I would hope they’re all doing well, back with her mother and doing that equine therapy, riding alot. It is unreal that her kids are HIS kids. I don’t believe photos have ever been shown of the girls.
Yeah I just watched the part where they show the ankle monitor movements in the backyard. They should’ve thought what his fascination w/the backyard, let’s check it out.
That man should be put in front of a firing squad for what he did to Jaycee.
That might be too easy on him.
Hm, looks like Trampy took the Jesus Juggs wine glass post down. HA!!
About her blog…I’m noticing a pattern… friends of Vicki’s started calling Tamra about their concerns about Brooks. Hmm, sort of like Slade’s baby mama calling Tamra last season and like Gretchen’ ex bf called her the season before that. That she actually expects us to believe her BS is amazing.
Good. Let’s see if she removes her tweet about getting that phrase to trend on twitter!
That would be good. That ticked me off too and i told her saw there also.
I’m glad she took it down.. I commented and told her she should be ashamed of herself, that it’s not funny & what if her daughters peers treated them the same way.
She’s obviously so well known, everyone has her cell number.
Heather should read the blog comments on Bravo. They are not in her favor. Bravo must not have any nice ones and they are forced to print what they have – which are, for the most part, not in Heather’s favor. I love it.
NY Heather? OC Heather hasn’t posted a recent one this week.
People are posting comments about the reunion on OC Heather’s last blog.
Oh, yeah her last blog-comments are brutal.
I tried to leave a comment and it did not take. It said waiting approval and then just disappeared. I guess not everyone is getting to leave one. that’s the pits as I left a good one for tamara
I meant to say earlier that feel sorry for the Stallone family and RIP Sage Stallone.
Me too. But his middle name- what were the parents thinking??
So sad. I couldn’t imagine loosing a child.
I wonder if Vicki could bring legal action against Tamra for their soon to be failed business thanks to her disgusting mouth?
I think she should look into it. She can get proof of how much sales dropped. I think that could be a valid lawsuit. She would have to prove it has nothing to do w/her relationship w/Brooks cause Tamra could counter sue w/that.
Did you see how Tamara Trash on allabouttrh.com decided it was her responsibility to spill the beans about Briana pregnant?
(I removed links because my comment is in moderation and Lynn may not be around right now.
Look here, (I would beat the living H-E- Double hockey stick out of her if I were the Vickster that is not Tamara Trash’s place to tell !
So rumor is that your daughter Briana is expecting!
Vicki denied the pregnancy claims and seemed a bit upset when I asked the question. Tamra confirmed to AllAboutTRH that Briana is in fact pregnant. I don’t think Tamra knew Vicki was keeping quiet about it. I also don’t know why Vicki is denying it but to each their own.
And Briana’s pregnant!
Yeah Briana’s pregnant and the she’s still dealing with the divorce, traveling, Brooks and I don’t think she has much time for me but we come together because we have a business now. It’s kind of like having a sister. You fight but she’s never going to go anywhere. She’s a good person and has a good heart but does have a lot in her plate right now.
Reply
Minkey is that you??
True but I would still look into it. I usually “hate” people that sue but not this time.
I don’t like frivolous lawsuits. Sometimes during people have to sue to right wrongs or so it doesn’t happen again.

Obviously I am taking this oost with a “grain of salt”. Not a fan of Pam/Dana/whateverhernameis. But, why would any man give this woman such a ridiculous amount of money on a monthly basis?????? Yes, she gave birth to his son but this is the most common trap that women use to get a rich guy to support them. Wear a condom. Stop being hypnotized by your penis.
If Katie Holmes can beat out Cruise and Scientology then Pam/Dana/Whathername should not be such a huge deal.
Oops “post” not oost.
You said it AZGirl.
Hmmmm
Yeah that 100K figure cannot be true. Maybe he meant in total for a year? I do believe the other things he says about Dana not letting him see their son when she is supposed to. He needs a better custody agreement, but since they never married does he even have one?
If John Flynn isn’t seeing his son as per the custody agreement (that is if there’s an actual court order), he can file a Contempt Charge against her. Courts do not look well upon parents who violate court orders involving children. If she is frustrating visitation, the court may give full physical custody to him. Also, marriage is not a requirement in order for him to see his son. The court has recognized his rights when they ordered child support. I’m no fan of either of them. But, I get pretty touchy about parents who use their children for monetary or any other purpose
What furniture?
LOL! And what food?
Exactly. She is one strange woman. She’s not mean though.
Thank you! I hardly saw any furniture when she was clomping around that big empty mansion the night of her pitiful “Games Night” party.
Minkey….is that you?!?!
So can we say John Flynn got john-flynnflamed?
Lol
Dame,
Did you see my post to you 2 days ago? If not I need to know
if you are just going to have classical music just during the church service or for the reception as well.
Great english Nancy! Hopefully you understood that.
LOL @ #angrysunglasses!
That is so funny! I didn’t really watch BH, but I’ve gathered enough from the blog to know that is FUNNY!
Dickens you know I just got it! Duh.
Okay so I am not on fb or twitter and I rarely ever watch OC on time or in order so I might not be accurate, but….
In the beginning of the season Tamra was all about her independence and making her own money, opening her fitness studio for HER accomplishment and making a point to say she’s not using Eddie’s money.
And from what I’ve gathered recently it seems like Eddie is very much involved with her fitness studio. And I know he’s very into fitness and could just be helping her with ideas, but I feel like I’ve seen a lot of examples where Eddie is always involved with the studio.
Does anyone know? Are they now investing together? Or is this still Tamra’s project only?
I guess it doesn’t matter and it makes sense that they would do it together because Eddie is very active, BUT if they are now doing it together that is so annoying after her big girl speech in the beginning of the season. I feel like Tamra can’t do anything or at least do anything on her own that isn’t easy and handed to her. She gave up on real estate and that’s the only thing I recall. It’s fine if she wants to be a stay at home mom, but it seemed like she always was saying she has to have her own career so Simon couldn’t control her. But, I have to ask What Career? I’m sure the WBW deal was basically handed to her and she’s probably just doing promotion at best. Well, and selling homemade (read Custom Order), cheap wine glasses that her six year old could make!
Okay, I was just wondering because despite her “I am Woman, Hear me Roar” speech, she seems attached to Eddie at every turn. I can’t stand Tamra, but I could maybe respect her hustle, if she had one, but she seems to put on a front of wanting independence until someone comes along to take care of her. And THAT I can’t respect.
She said that all the money put down was hers. Eddie helps but not financially.
Lark I don’t know and she’s made a point in her blog about no alimony & standing on her own 2 feet. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a monetary interest.
If Bravo dropped Tamra I wonder how on her own would she be.
I so agree with your comment about Tamara. I had to laugh watching the enterview with Caroline and Laureen about weight loss, because I was eating a little debbie cake:/
At least it was a Little Debbie
Are there big Debbies??

I think I almost pee-ed my pants when I read Tamra describing her and Eddie’s love as ‘magical’. Not only does it make her sound like a teenage girl who scribbles Justin Beiber’ name in her journal…the irony of it makes me laugh. Magic is NOT real. It is an illusion.
Reply
I’ll be surprised if that wedding actually takes place.
He can’t be that stupid.
If she’s gonna be on next season they’re getting married. Tamra has to keep eyes on her. She’s hoping for Bethenny and Kim’s ratings for a wedding. As far as the marriage lasting, thats anothrr story. Ryan’s father, Simon & Eddie can start a support group.
It surprised me when she said at the reunion that she doesn’t want a big wedding. She just wants to get married on the beach sort of thing. I can’t see Bravo giving her a spinoff for that. Eddie is an idiot if he goes through with it. His father is an educated man why isn’t he talking to him about all of this.
He just might be but Eddie wants the Bravo wedding like he got the Bravo engagement trip & ring. He’s in it for all the wrong reasons.
Eddie seems nice enough, but my instincts tell me that there is more of a story there with him. I don’t know if it is a good story or a bad story. I just feel like there is definitely more going on there than meets the eye when it comes to him.
I think he is terribly naive and impressed with the cameras as well.
Bev,
I want to hear you Ambien story.

oh sorry, girls-

He’s not a nice guy. Apparently, Eddie was a friend of Simon’s and spent time around the Barney family. Tampron tried to make it seem like Simon was upset over losing her, lol. Yeah, right! He was ticked because his friend was shacking up with his wife and who knows how long it was going on. We may not know a lot about Eddie Judge but he is certainly not a man of character. They deserve each other.

Vegas- Lol! How magical their union is! Thanks for that.
I think that there is something more too. I just can’t put my finger on what it is just yet.
Just read on E! Online that Once Upon. a Time would like Aladdin and Little Mermaid as characters.
I thought Simon was a stand up guy. Why was he allegedly drunk posting on FB about his estranged evil wife. He trusted the wrong two people, he should have just taken the high road and kept it on the QT. Instead he wants the pity of the general public? I do not like Tamra, but Simon is no better. He wanted a Stepford Wife and instead married a Super Bitch. Too bad so sad now get over it, Simon! As long as she preformed for him, he seemed to have very little concern for how she treated others. Not a very nice guy! IMO.
He drunk posted? He didn’t sound drunk to me. I love that he corrected Tamra’s lies. Gosh those kids deserve better than she’s giving.
The children have a mother and it is not the fathers place to trash her if he loves his kids so much. I think that both Simon and Tamra are very immature and clueless about how to treat other adults in their world. I also do not think that either of them see themselves realistically and are somewhat dependent on the outside world for validation. JMHO.
If Simon was going out there to trash talk I’d agree. But I’ve only seen him correct the lies Tamra puts out about her kids’ father. I think he has a right and maybe an obligation to do that. If the kids get older and want to see what’s out there about Simon it should be the truth. JMHO.
LME- I think the Simon FB post (the one Lynn blogged about above) is not drunken one.
The druken post is in the attached article that Vegas chick posted. It talks Simon learning about Trashra and Eddy boy…
Btw, you are one of the kindest people. You’re always looking out for people who post. It’s nice. …as a new person here, (I don’t know the rules, etiquette etc.) it’s welcoming… Thanks.
Well thanks for the kind words. I’m glad you joined us.
Thanks for explaining the drunken post that CAP referred to.
?((¯°·._.• тнαηкs •._.·°¯))؟•
I did say alleged drunken post. I do not trust reality press very much. Since part of what Simon seemed to be doing is talking about Tamra’s dating habits, after they separated, I think he is out of line and seeking attention. I do not think that Simon was ever a very popular character on the show. He should except his losses and be quiet. Tamra should not talk about him on the show, but when do two wrongs really not make something right? I guess the battle of the sexes, in the press. IMO.
PS I don’t know the rules either B Hive. If you find out let me know ok?
I don’t know if Lynn has any rules. Doubt she would need any. We have a lovely group! Everyone has always been so kind & respectful to each other. We do occasionally get the odd troll, but they don’t last. We just don’t feed them. IMO, being less than polite here would be disrespectful to Lynn! Especially since she puts in so many hours & effort into her blog
He definitely drunk posted the night he saw Eddie and Tamra out together in Vegas for the first time. It was basically literally right after the two of them seperated, so I definitely believe Tamra was interested in Eddie before her breakup, and that was probably the reason why she made sure to make Simon look bad that season before she left him. Eddie was roommates of Tamera’s real estate boss, Marcos, who was very good friends with Simon. Simon felt totally betrayed and let Marcos know (Marcos also replied to him a few times). Simon also posted pictures of all of them together, with Eddie, at several functions. He also said Eddie had been to his house for dinner on several occasions.
I was on Facebook at the time, and he basically went bonkers. And Jay Photoglou (Gretchen’s ex that she was cheating on Jeff with!) was also posting at the time that he was with Simon when they saw Tamra and said a few bad things about Tamra. Funny how Tamra went to defending Jay, then suddenly on Team Gretchen? Not a coincidence.
It was not a good look for Simon. I think he ended up deleting a lot of the stuff after he took a pretty good look at his bad behavior that day. That was around the time that he got in touch with Jim and Alexis and went to Church with them. Since then, he’s done his best to not appear too bitter. He’s corrected stuff she’s said, and I think he has every right to do that, but there was a short period of time where he was just as nasty as her.
Thanks for the explanation RHWVA. Divorce is hard.
I know. I thought it was corny when I heard her say “magical” too. I’m a big believer in love, but, once you get to a certain age, you stop doing things like giving each other hickeys on body parts that are visible to most of the world (that should stop at the age of 15, if it ever starts AT ALL) and using words like “magical” to describe your romantic relationships.
Grow up, Tamra!
So, Tamra was in this controlled marriage with Simon and was suffocated for years. Then she gets immediately engaged to her rebound man.
If she was truly stifled by Simon, would she really jump into a third marriage so quickly?
Hey if it gets her another season, a free wedding on tv and hopes of her own show she doesn’t care that it’s too soon to get married.
To get a spin off
Who the hell would watch Trampra on her own show? She is such a vulgar piece of trash. Uneducated, nasty, vulgar fame whore. It is so obvious to me what she is all about she will say and do ANYTHING to stay on TV. She is a pathetic POS. I am so glad Simon has the kids most of the time. If I lived in the OC I would sign up just to put her ass in her place. She’s trailer trash all the way. I will not watch next year if she is allowed to stay. It is time BRAVO pays attention to the viewers and cleans house. She is mean hearted, bully, vulgar and nasty, bitter and ugly inside and out. Not to mention she is a broke ass bitch and trashy. She has no place on the show, it is not enjoyable to watch anymore, soo sick of her. And bravo can post all the nice stupid comments on her blog all they want, I see they are still trying to manipulate the viewers. Well if she stays for another season I will not watch and hope they lose ratings, she has to go. They also need to get rid of the rest as well, there is not one likable person on the OCHW, not a one.
I wonder if they would give a spin off if her kids are not allowed to be filmed. Part of the fun of Kim’s show was the whole family dynamic of it all.
Kim has always had her children around, Tamra not so much. Andy likes her so much, maybe they are long lost twins. Not! I think he see her as an alpha female. To me an alpha female has mostly great positive qualities. Tamra does not! She and Patti Stanger probably get alone real well. Yes Andy loves Patti too. See a pattern, anyone?JMHO.
TA-her ‘freedom story’ is suspect altogether. Eddy’s already patrolling Tamra. Notice the last party, his cues by guiding hand, rolling eyes, long loud exhales, and verbal coaching of Tamera telling her, “let it go” as Jenna walked in. Started to sound a little like another dynamic shes described before. He can’t be so wanting as to walk right into the so called Simon dynamic can he? That’s a losers bet. It wasn’t just Brooks whispering in ears that night.
There’s truth in what you say. Also, Tramra has a way of manipulating men. The little helpless girl whine fake tear thing. She did it a lot with Simon, like last season when he left the roof top party after the argument with Vicki. She went after him, talking like a 3 year old, sucking up to him. She did the same thing with Eddie when he got mad that Tamra put Brookes hand on her boob. If Tamra hated brooks so badly, why did she want his hand on her anyway? She also did the same acting with Vicki when she made up with her. She is just disgusting
True. She adapts! Now shes on to new targets. The charm bracelet seduction scene was so ridiculous it was embarrassing to watch. And Gretchen obliged so desperate for approval. Eddie is as ill willed as Tamra apparently. Trashy trys restraining her vitriol when filming WITH Heather. (But the gleam of spite is sharp in her eyes. As Lynn has pointed out many times.)
Is Heather so blind thats she’s a willing accomplice this bs? Her (Heather’s) ‘schadenfreude’ comment in her blog is laughable. No one enjoys the ‘troubles of others’ more than Tamra. And Heather, Eddy, and Gretchy just bought a front row ticket!
I think her mind is stunted to a teenage mind. I think she stopped maturing at the age she had her oldest child
yes.
absolutely.
Tamra’s daughters shirt was misprinted. The Ro was suppose to be an Su.

LuAnn de Lesseps: A Friendship with Ramona Singer is Like Making a Pact With The Devil:
http://www.okmagazine.com/news/luann-de-lesseps-friendship-ramona-singer-making-pact-devil
Maintaining a friendship with LooAnn CSBHH would be a bit like walking into an Appalachian Church on Snake handling Sunday. You have the choice of copperheads or rattlesnakes, but either way, you’re likely to be bitten. Not to mention the constant need to carry a barf bag as LooAnn describes ping-pong table escapades, yet still pushes her self deluded sense of superiority. If LooAnn pushes that tale of the de Lesseps GIVING the Statue of Liberty to the USA one more time, someone needs to drop the REAL dirt about the business practices of Ferdinand de Lesseps on her head and on camera.
The title of Countess might buy her way onto/into men’s ping-pong tables/beds, but it will never get her into the NY Social Register. Did anyone happen to read the article that said she is coming out with a costume JEWELRY line? Prepare yourselves to be blinded.
I imagine she probably will use whatever manufacturer that her former cast mate is using….and it wouldn’t surprise me if said former cast mate gets a cut of the business.
She still blames her association with her cast mates for lowering her social standing……bwa-ha-ha-ha!
I wonder if Ramona ever figured how to get down to the Social Register Office .
She knows that, but she doesn’t think others know that.
Toxic Tamra’s b/f Eddie Judge’s real name is Eduardo Torres?
Does anyone know about this?
https://twitter.com/mrvpalma
Didn’t mean to leave that twitter name there. May as well read it and try and put 2 & 2 together.
I saw that Vicki RT’d mrvpalma this a.m. It’s not the same Eddie Judge. StoopidH has the story over on her site today complete with copyright stamp, lol. It was floating around awhile ago. The guy who was disbarred is 50 something. Besides, Tampron’s Eddie isn’t bright enough to get into law school never mind pass the bar.
I think you might be thinking about another disbarred lawyer who was called Edward Judge. Or at least that name came up a while ago.
I don’t understand SH. She even puts water marks on screenshots of Bravo shows.
I know! So annoying! And on tweets that anyone can see. Geez.
Isn’t Judge his adopted name?
Not going to touch that one with a 10 foot pole.
Last time I mentioned that persons name, people _I don’t even know_ were emailing me to “Correct” me. (Even though I had corrected the post myself within an hour).
How the he ll did they get your email? that’s cray cray
I made *one* comment -totaly unrelated- on the blog of the (one of the) person(s) reprimanding me. SERIOUSLY pissed me off that she obviously looked me up to email me (twice) about a post I made HERE.
ATTN: If you have a problem with something I write HERE, address it HERE. If you’re monitoring the comments HERE then put your Big Girl Panties on and comment HERE.
Right on! I support you JD. Who in the he££ would do this? And how in heck somone get your e mail?

That particular person got my email when I made *one* comment on their blog.
Note to self – never use *real* email.

Hey all you Walking Dead fans, there’s a good preview video on this link:
http://theclicker.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/07/13/12728085-amc-announces-walking-deads-season-3-premiere-date?lite
Hey BB. How’s the beach?
Thks for the link but this Walking Dead fan force once wants to be surprised. If anyone wants to talk about it it’s ok. I just don’t want to see it.
I was put on Ambien in 2003. After about 3 or 4 months, I discovered I was walking, talking, cooking and posting on the computer with absolutely no recollection of it the next day. I told the dr. and he said, “hmmmm, I never heard of that.” I stopped them under his guidance.
A few months later, my friend was put on them. I warned her! One night her teenage daughter came home late one night and my friend asked her, “Can I make you a sandwich?” Her daughter said, “Great!”
My friend made her daughter the sandwich then proceeded to sit down and eat it herself. She had no memory of this. She, too, said, enough of the Ambien.
(oops) This ended up in the wrong place. I swear I’m not taking Ambien anymore.
Took it ‘once’ and could barely walk from my desk to the bedroom. #xanaxisyourfriend
Kidsrfunny several of you have said Ambien made you cook. Thk goodness you all stop taking it but it seems to me that this is something that doctors have to be made aware of. It’s dangerous.
From what I now have learned, it seems that under the influence of Ambien, some people perform every day, normal activities without any knowledge or recollection of it. Some people drive! Thank God, my normal activities included posting on the computer and cooking!
When I began on Ambien, I did take the drug only as prescribed; however, the warnings stated that it should be used for short-term use only. My Dr. kept me on it for over 3 months and that is when the problems for me began.
I loved Ambien! I took one, went to bed and within 30 minutes I was out like a light. I woke up 8 hours later feeling great. Until……
So if that’s what happened with Kerry Kennedy it’s a little more understandable.
Ambien worked fine for me too but as you said I didn’t take it very long.
Tiger Woods was on it when he crashed into that tree.
I think the drug is dangerous.
Hadn’t Tiger also been whacked in the head with a golf club that night?
Yes after his crash and for good reasons!
Dirtbag!
Yep. I can totally relate. I did the same things. And I took it as directed. I guess it just has a different effect on some people.
It’s interesting that in 2006, Patrick Kennedy had the same problem with driving under the influence of Ambien. Deduce what you will. Here’s the link:
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=1927026&page=1#.UAIeyq6Oj_k
At the time I took it, my Dad was dying and I needed sleep. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad drug, but I would say, that I will never take it again unless I have a babysitter (meaning someone to keep me from cooking or driving).
I would also tell my Dr., if I ever needed a sleep aid again, my experience with Ambien. I’m sure, for me, there might be a better alternative.
Yeah, I was under an extreme amount of stress and had been suffering with either insomnia or being able to only sleep for 2 or 3 hours before waking up. So, my doctor put me on the time-released version of the Ambien in the hopes that, at the time I would awake, the time release effect would prevent that and allow me to keep sleeping.
Nope. I was awake (but NOT really) and doing all kinds of things that I had no recollection of the next day.
It’s not one size fits all when it comes to medication. No more Ambien for me.
scary
Thank-you for posting that. ITA! The drug is dangerous.
hi everyone. Just got caught up on the blog.
I have a super sick cat on my hands- her kidneys are failing and I’m basically on kittie death watch right now.
She’s alert but not doing well. As soon as she starts suffering too much I’m going to have to bring her in to be euthanized. Probably tomorrow morning or Monday.
I’m sad. I love this little cat.
So sorry Boston! Nothing worse than having a furbaby failing and there’s nothing you can do.
(((((((Boston))))))))
((((OMIB)))) so sorry.
OMIB,
I’m so sorry. I wish I could give you a real hug.
There are vets that will come to your house to put your kitty to sleep
if you would prefer. Remember they have 9 lives.
(((((((((((((OMIB)))))))))))))))
there is no greater love than the love from our pets.
They love us unconditionally, and because of that we feel
guilty when things happen and we can’t “explain” it to
them.
You know what you have to do- she can’t suffer any more-
but good God in Heaven, you gave this lovely little “joy”
more happiness in one life than she ever thought possible
in all 9 lives.
I am SO sorry for your pain, I know this is hurting you-
but just as you love your little one, you are so loved and have SO
many who would do whatever they could to take away
your tears. it is what it is and for that I could just cry.
We all feel your pain, OMIB. We love you. ((((omib)))))
I was at the animal hospital last night from 7-12, and the up at 5:00 today- so tired and wrung out from this. Just gut wrenching to hear her whimper when they took the blood etc.
But she was a rescue- she had been so abused, and malnourished they didn’t think she’d make it. I’ve had her almost 10 years now- 10 of the most pampering and spoiling years I could give her to make up for all of the pain and neglect she suffered.
You never feel like it’s enough though. Never enough.
You are so sweet. I’m glad you and kitty found each other.
OMIB,
I think they tell us when it’s time. I really do. She will never forget you and you’ll never forget her. The love continues.
I wish there was something I could do.
Don’t beat yourself up about this. You have her many years of love and she knows it and loves you for it. Nothing takes away the heartache when the time comes. My heart goes out to both of you.
I so so so sorry. But remember Spirit never dies. And the love you’ve given is as good as this life gets..and she had this.
(((OMIB)))
Awwwww, soooo soooo sorry OMIB.
Oh so sorry to hear it. You are a good kitty mom. Hang in there.
{{{{{OMIB}}}}} My heart breaks for you. Thinking of you.
Oh! Poor baby… I’m so sorry.
((( One More ))) I’m sorry.
(((((Boston)))))
OMIB, I love “you” so I am sorry that you are sad. You did give your kitty a beautiful life and because she wasn’t pampered early on you made such a difference the last 10 years. Just be with her…..
I’m so sorry. That is the toughest decision to make.
So sorry OMiB – I lost my Louie to kidney failure not too long ago. Know you gave your little one the best and that love is never wasted. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.
Welcome back WCW. I have missed you. I hope you had fun.
Oh I’m sorry. ;(
(((OMIB))) So, so sorry. Thinking of you.
Oh that is too bad. Hope she is not suffering too much. She’s had a nice long life with you!
(I’m on doggie watch myself. My doxie may have ruptured a spinal disc and I have to wait 2 more weeks to see if it is going to heal on its own. Her back legs have been like noodles. I have to carry her everywhere, up and down steps, outside, etc. There is no way I would be able to afford the surgery that would be necessary to prolong her life so it will be a sad day for us.)
((( Vil ))) Poor pup. I hope it’s not in pain. Keep us posted.
vilzvet,
I’m so sorry to hear that. Vet bills have gotten so out of hand it’s like only the rich can afford to have a pet these days. It really angers me. My uncle is a vet up in Canada and he doesn’t charge like the vets down here do. Or at least the ones that I have heard about.
I’m so sorry to hear that.
Thanks all and I agree with the incredible surgical costs going on with animals. The vet told me it would be “thousands” of dollars at a NY hospital specializing in that kind of surgery. I can only hope it wont come to that…but with no x-rays taken yet we don’t know for sure.
Praying your pup has a positive outcome. So sad to see our furbabies hurting
(((((((vilzvet))))))) hang in there
(((vilzvet)))
So sorry. Sounds like she had a good life with you taking care of her.
I am so terribly sorry to hear that.
(((OMIB))). So sorry about your cat.
OMIB, I’m so sorry. It’s so hard… thinking of you & kitty.
Sorry about kitty
(hug)
((((((omib)))))))) so sorry to hear about your baby.
My heart goes to you OneMorecito! It is a loss… a real one. Hang in there, mi amor!
From Tamara’s blog:”The Reunion is a time for all of use to reflect on the past season and to throw daggers at each other’s character. No, it is never nice and it is not exactly the most mature thing to do. . .But damn it’s entertaining!” Um, I think it’s safe to say that a lot of us didn’t find it entertaining but rather disgusting. I think Tamara needs to take a long look in the mirror, not to mention some serious therapy before she throws any more daggers at someone else’s character. Maybe a therapist could help her understand why she gets so much satisfaction from ripping someone else apart.
It’s so not entertaining that I didn’t watch and won’t watch OC again if Tamra is on.
No self-esteem?
I think Tamara does tear other people apart partially to make herself feel like she is better than the other person. And partially because she seems to really enjoy it. Both are things I would think therapy would help her with. Her poor kids are going to see all of this one day and wonder what the hell is wrong with their mother. Hope she has a fund set up for their future therapy bills. (I know that they are doing family therapy now but I’m guessing that the kids haven’t seen the show yet.)
She can’t be happy so it’s pretty sad. She is hurting a lot of people including her own children. I think she sold have stayed single for a year to iron these things out.
Eddie will not bring her happiness as that is an inside job so she’s in for a rude awakening. I hope she will continue the therapy.
should
If he has ANY sense at all, he’s gonna realize that sooner or later all of that vitriol will be coming his way.
No doubt his time will come.
None.
And weaponize her even more? LOL! Not good.
How would therapy weaponize her more?
I was thinking the same thing.
Eddie Judge @eddiejudge
yes, I was adopted at the age of 18.

Why would someone be adopted at 18 years old? I don’t understand that. Not looking to stir up trouble. I just don’t understand.
It’s usually for legal reasons. If you have a step parents you don’t always legally
adopt each others children because it really doesn’t matter if the marriage works out.
I don’t understand it either. I wonder if there is some sort of estate/financial planning reason behind it.
I get the legal reasons. But he could just change his name. If it’s estate/financial planning you wouldn’t have to change your name. I’m not trying to be argumentative I swear. LOL Just trying to wrap my head around it and not doing a very good job at it.
Don’t believe her RR. She’s always causing trouble.
Ask her, she’ll spill the beans.
Yep. That’s me. But it’s Mrs. Trouble Maker to you! If we are going to get all technical about it. LOL
I thought I read somewhere that his mother brought him here from Mexico as a baby and this Judge person in OC mentored him, so he took the guy’s last name.
OK. Kind of weird but hey whatever floats his boat I guess. I still just think it’s weird to wait until he was 18. My whole point was I would find it easier to understand if he had done it when he was younger. Honestly not even sure that I care all that much. I just have to let it go because I’ll drive myself nuts. Believe Mookie’s dad tells me that it’s a very short drive. LOL
Tamara tweeted Eddie was in and out of foster homes until adopted as a teen (iirc) and he then took the guys name. Before that he was Eddie Navarro (not 100% on last name spelling).
Teens usually don’t get adopted so good for him. Glad he found a family. The name change makes a bit more sense now.
Maybe the mother wouldn’t sign over parental rights so they waited until he was 18.
That’s a good point. Makes sense.
Saudi Arabia is sending two female athletes to the olympics for the very first time.
It’s a start.
Well that is a good start alright seeing that women are viewed as 2nd class citizens. I hope nothing negative happens to them if they don’t bring home medals.
You mean like Iraq did? Of course these two women will be covered from heat to toe but it is a start.
I knew some women from Saudi Arabia in college and they didn’t cover their faces. They did have to call their dad quite often though and if he decided one day that they had to come home they had to be ready. Iraqi women didn’t cover their faces when Saddam ruled either. And many were drs.
I meant to say everything but their faces.
Sorry about that.
What’s the problem if a woman chooses to cover herself from head to toe? Nuns do. Do they get insulted for it?
Or it better to dress barely covered. Just curious.
I hope the same thing. Could you imagine the amount of pressure they must feel?
That’s wonderful.
Good points above by several who talked about the uniforms made in China (along with the flags lol @ MTH). Way too many keep wanting to get the cheapest even when it’s not the best and then complain that Americans didn’t get the job while no American wants to work for 25 cents an hour.
I saw an reporter asking people shopping at Wal-Mart if they would pay just a bit more for the same items (less than .50) and they said no. (I couldn’t believe what I was hearing!) It was a piece about trying to get Walmart to bring jobs back to the US.
Call me!
I’m trying to stay up to watch BBAD but 11 is really late for me!
And that’s only the beginning, ends at 2am. Eeek!
Boston,
My heart and love is with you and your precious furbaby…I’ve lost three of my cats in the last ten years and it is so heartbreaking when they are hurting and you have to make that decision for them go over the rainbow bridge. Please know I am thinking of you, as is everyone else on board tonight. Please keep us posted and if you need anything just post. XXOO
Goodnight.
Goodnight Nancy. I’m heading off too.
Did Lynn ever answer about the Walmart pop-up?
I don’t think so. I get it two or three times a day. I’d put an ad blocker in but then it screws with everything else. Quite annoying.
Hey Cityside, How are you? I know Lynn was working on the ads that played sound but I don’t know about the Wal-mart ads.
Back at work and doing pretty good. Still tired about 2 pm. Thinking of retirement. Thing is, I just bought a new car the Friday before the cancer diagnosis. I planned on a two year loan and working until 60, now I am not so sure. I fell very lucky that I get that choice!
You are Lucky. Quite a decision.

Good morning.
OMIB–I’m so sorry about your cat ((((OMIB))))) I’m sorry you’re hurting.
Morning. How you doin? Are you resting?
I’m ok, thanks. I can’t shake the nausea but other than that I feel ok. I went back to work on Saturday
and I also think eating is helping.
Boston, when my daughter was nauseous because of medication, sucking on peppermint candy helped her.
Mornin’ Y’all
If my new Gravatar ever shows up, it’s a picture I took from my living room window yesterday. It’s good to be HOME!
Mornin!!
Cute lil gal. She looks like she needs to wander through a few corn fields tho
good mornings! Glad your home and enjoying it!
I know! There were 4 of them and they were all skinny. We’re in severe drought and I haven’t been here to feed them. The feeder is full now though
Aww, is that a baby? A fawn? I luv that you feed them.
It’s a yearling. The little fawns usually show up about now too, they’re so cute.
Aw
you are so sweet and kind to feed them. 
Morning, where do you live??? How nice to have them near your home and how NICE of you to feed them
I live in the woods in Arkansas. Love it

Cute! I LOVE being home!!! Glad you made it safely!
Hey! It’s my birthday today! It’s all about me, me, me! I plan on doing whatever I want to do and not doing anything I don’t want to do. I have my hubs to wait on me and my dogs to adore me. My mom’s here and the oldest daughter came down and we’ll probably just chillax out by the pool. The youngest daughter just called to wish her old mom a happy day. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Hope you all have as good a day as I plan on having. See y’all later!
HAPPY BB-Day
Happy Birthday BB!!! If I were there I’d fan you with a big palm branch and peel some grapes for your breakfest

QUOTE FOR THE DAY:
“He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.” – Saint Basil
I think this quote pretty much sums you up!
Happy Birthday BB! It’s a right on your birthday to do what you want and not do what you do want.
That last do should be don’t.
Happy Birthday BB, sounds like all is well in your world
No better present than that! Thanks for all you do, Lisa
Happy Bday, BB! Hope you’re having the best day ever.
I’m watching Four Weddings. One of the weddings is being celebrated with Indian wedding traditions. It’s very pretty. The traditional ceremony is 3 hours long. The bride got carried down the aisle. I got major eye roll from my b/f. LOL
Lol – of course you would, aren’t they nice? (boyfriends)
I hope you rest and get better very soon
Oh! I meant to tell you, thanks for your coment about the “four houses” a few days ago. I recorded it and watched with my boyfriend, we both liked it and will continue to watch. There are very few shows for the TWO of US to watch and enjoy, so it was nice to find one.
The other one we BOTH enjoy is the Dogs in the City
I have to remember to watch Dogs in the City.
(((OMIB)))
I did ot read allthe post yet, but I read your post OMIB ..
hang in there, we are here for you when you need to talk…
Looks like Vicki already has new bff’s. Her tweet~~~
Best friends in Palm Springs for Girls Weekend Fun! #TeamWooHoo http://fb.me/2aZr6rSl4
Well good for Vicki. Leave Tamra in the dust. I bet Tamra will have something negative to say about it.
Jill found a hobby! She’s posting on Pinterest.
http://pinterest.com/jillzarin/
Oh gawd!
I luv when she tweets something like this where anyone can leave comments. I leave snarky comments and she has no clue and leaves it up on her twitter.
oh Boston. you are too much. I read your comments and you made me laugh out loud. you are so subtle that you have to look and read twice to realize there’s an actual
diss there. I shouldn’t be encouraging you, but when you’re good you’re good…………
boston,
Will you please tell Jill to clip her dogs nails?
That should be her new hobby.
941 followers boston. Hmm. Can you have egg followers on pinterest?
Looked at the family pics. Ally looks like she’s lost weight. On the fashion pics she has a pic of ginger,huh? & is showing off her Birkin bag or a Birkin bag.
Also, did you notice that under “family” she only has 3 pic’s. Then look at how many she has of of Ginger. Poor Ginger, stuck hanging out with her.
Ally may have been abe to get off steroids for her RA. She looks wonderful.
Jill’s ex must be handsome. Ally is very pretty.
Yeah. Jill isn’t bad looking but Ally looks nothing like her.
That would be good for her.
Apparently her “Hobby” is pictures of HERSELF!
nothing has much changed it’s all about her and that crapping dog
OMG, I’m dying laughing!! You’re horrrrrible!!! Sooo funny!!!
Happy Birthday Baroness Beachcomber(formerly VAGirl)! In honor of your birthday, this is what I wrote for you last year:
The following are events that share your special day:
1799 –The Rosetta Stone is found in the Egyptian village of Rosetta by French Captain Pierre-François Bouchard during Napoleon’s Egyptian Campaign.
The code of the stone has been found easier to break than the code of Bensimon.
1737 –Princess Louise-Marie of France, daughter of King Louis XV of France, was born.
This, somehow, means that you are related by the stars to Countless Luman de LaSchlep. Our regrets.
Happy Birthday My beautiful friend BB! Have a great day and Thank you for all your Blogs!
Happy Birthday Baroness!!!! Have a wonderful day.
HappyBirthday Baroness Beachcomber. Enjoy your day in the sun.
Good Dame!
Happy birthday, BB! Hoping you have a fun relaxing day!
Happy Birthday BB!
happy sparkle birthday BB
you are so fun.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday BB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday to BB. Thinking of OMIB today. On day 3 of no gym and nursing this stupid broken toe. Suicide watch (JK):) Really I am such a baby.
We had a huge monsoon storm come through yesterday afternoon. It was a major downpour for about 30 minutes. Flagstaff and Prescott also got a good amount of rain. They really need it.
Aw AZGirl. Can you do some upper body work, hand weights?
You are right Powell I could easily get in some upper body lifting but I am hobbling around and its embarrassing. I would be limping from bench to bench. I am going in tomorrow come hell or highwater.
It would’nt be the 1st time someone was wobbling around the gym.
lol, Powell!!
AZ ~ I still can’t get over the irony of you breaking a toe on your first day off in forever~~
I just got back from church and you are too funny! If anyone does ask what happened I can tell them that some meathead dropped a dumbell on my foot.
AZGirl,
I right behind you. I can almost put full weight on it today.
I want to skate!
The reason Taylor was so relaxed/dressed down? She DID NOT fly to Paris!! *insert happy dsnce* Now if she meets up with them later, who knows… But she flew to Miami. For Vitality/Visalus: the white party. Here’s a link with date and people appearing: http://www.bloomberg.com/article/2012-07-13/auEngo16quy0.html
to help celebrate the kickoff of my personal challenge! http://t.co/ywTUQnxb
And here’s Taylor’s tweet about it: @TaylorArmstrong: Here’s @HolliWalker w me tonight at the white par-Tay!
I’m on my seat to know what her personal challenge is *insert sarcastic eyeroll*
Sorry I have to link this pic. It’s scary funny and I know someone here will have a great caption: http://t.co/l2vZjVn9 it’s the pic she tweeted with: @TaylorArmstrong: Today I told 20,000 of my new BFFs abt the personal challenge that I’m doing which will help a lot of women!
Pchick I still have mixed feelings about that. In some ways I believe her that Russell abused her but she claims to be involved w/that DV charity she highlighted she had the tools available so it makes no sense.
I hear you there. I think if there was any abuse in that household it was mutual. Not being there, there is no way to know. I think her actions have spoken for themselves tho. I can’t buy the grieving widow act still when she was actively dating when he died. Oh, I’m sure there was grieving, but the whole ‘love of my life gone even tho I was beat and banging wasshisname’ doesn’t make sense to me. I’m just happy it means at least one day of filming sans Taylor.
Make her go away.
20k new BFF’s… ookiedookie.
Still watching Four Weddings. It seems that a lot of girls have some type of theme at their weddings. Isn’t the wedding itself a theme?
I’ve been watching too-
I knew the girl from long Island would win(Lara)
it seems whoever can spend the most money will get
the expensive trip- doesn’t make much sense does it??
OMIB and vilzvet – I’m thinking of both of you and your critters today. It’s tough…
Me too.
“Her friends, family, and office staff started calling me with the same feelings. Then an overwhelming amount of emails where coming through my fan page from people that have had “bad dealings” with Brooks.” quote from Trampra’s blog.
sooooo……. here’s my thing.
Why in the hell do these people who want to spill things always call Trampra?
We had the bombshell with Gretchen’s boy on the side making the 3am phone call to announce his exsistance to the world made to ……Trampra! (2 seasons ago)
We had the whole Slade child support issue and the lawyers called……Trampra! The ex wife called……Trampra! (last season)
Nose job gate with Alexis was supposedly blown wide open by information given to…..Trampra (this season, even though lex wasn’t hiding anything, it was still presented that way at first)
And now we have BrooksGate 2012. All being sent to Trampra. The mysterious emails, phone calls and secret DeepThroat style information drops.
Unless she works for the CIA, it almost seems like someone is going out of their way to dig dirt up on a different cast person (or their families, men, etc) each season so they have a good bombshell to keep themselves relevant. hmmmmm…….
Duchess I can’t answer that question. I want the answer too & the only way I can figure we’ll get it is if Tamra will be truthful and tell us. I don’t think that’s gonna happen.
Hi Duchess, so nice to see you!
I don’t know if this answers your question but I remember early in the season
Trampa was in her talking head and was saying that she was tired of spending
hours and hours on the internet trying to dig up crap on Gretchen. So i think she does this with all the “ladies” on the show-
my theory would be that she found out about Jay on the web and she tried to
contact him first- just like she called Slades ex-
I wouldnt be surprised if T. dragged up the info on Brooks and then initiated
contact with his exs’ she is that sleazy~~~
Wouldn’t surprise me either.
A Bravo insider on Lipstick Alley stated that Bravo hires detective types to dig up dirt on the main characters and parse the info out to to keep the story line interesting. Also they use the information to keep the talent in line, as much as possible.
Excellent point when you put it all together that way. It does indeed support the theory that Tamra has taken the time to research and find dirt on her castmates and their associates, which is not cool.
The ONLY situation where I do possibly believe her research was not initiated by her was in the situation with Brookes. I do think that she only started doing more investigating after being tipped off about some things and noticing changes in Vicki that concerned her. I know, in many ways, Tamra can be awful, but I do think she did care for Vicki as a friend at one time.
With regard to all of her OTHER castmates and their associates, though, I do think she went above and beyond looking for dirt on them without any urging from anyone else.
She’s using the dirt on Brooks to attack Vicky though. This woman is a real piece of work.
Oh, I agree.
And the thing is this: as a friend, you pull a friend’s coat and tell them when you are concerned that they may be going down the wrong path.
THEN….you let it go. I mean, even God gives his children free will.
Either decide to remain a friend and support them when things fall apart (if they do)…or, if your friend is constantly coming to you to complain about being hurt by this person or situation about which you have already warned them, either tell your friend you can no longer listen to it because it is draining your psychic energy OR distance yourself and make the friendship more of a casual, less draining one OR end the friendship amicably.
Tamra has let her feelings about Brookes be known. So have other people, including Vicki’s daughter. At that point, it was time for Tamra to shut up and mind her own business about what Vicki chose to do with Brookes and ONLY decide how she was going to handle HER particular relationship with Vicki in the future.
People that do that are pathetic. Get a life already.
They probably contact TamTam because they know she will use it against the person they are calling out. And if they have the dirt, they obviously want it to be used. Who better than TemperTantrumTamara?
happy birthday bb and all that i have missed in the last week. i had cataract surgery and haven’t been able to stay on computer long enough to post. i’ve been trying to read on a hit and quit but time on has been very limited.
i’ve got candles going for OMIB and vilzvet. i know the pain. after losing 4 cats in one month i had said no more but hubby came home with 2 kittens and it was just what i needed. bbl have to do somemore eyedrops love to all, debi
How are you feeling? My mother had hers done in January, left/right.
did the rt 2weeks ago and the lf this week. tylenol takes care of pain but the feeling like i have a hair or finger in my eye doesn’t go away until about bedtime. it will be great when it’s all over. i can really tell a difference in site accuity.
that’s great Deb-I’m sure it must be very uncomfortable, but I’m really glad it all worked out for you.
That’s good!
Hi debi,
I hope your eye heals quickly. I want to hear about your new “babies.”
Are they driving you crazy yet? I remember the kitten stage. Very challenging
at times. Like in the middle of the night when they chase each other. lol
Deb,
My MIL just had both eyes done, and she had the same complaint about feeling like something was in her eye. It went away eventually. Feel better.
Sunday morning funny pages…
“it’s incredibly concerning for me….that people actually think that something for television is real.”
All Bethenny did was wish her the best, lol.
http://www.wetpaint.com/real-housewives-of-new-york/articles/kelly-bensimon-says-the-feud-between-her-and-bethenny-frankel-on-rhony-wasnt-real?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=pipes-RealHousewivesofBeverlyHills&utm_campaign=COMBO-EM-LP-CSV-TAGS-AddPosts&utm_content=YIKES+RHNY&utm_term=Sunday+05
wasn’t Kelly at one point accusing Bethenny of using the fight with her to get column space for herself….what-a-maroon!!
that chick is nuts-
I mean she is NUTS-
Yep. She is absolutely NOT in her right mind.
Mental illness is nothing to play with; nor is it something of which to be ashamed. So, I hope I make that clear and refrain from offending anybody with my statements about Kelly’s mental state.
What I cannot understand is those around her who refuse to get her any kind of help. Then again, what do I know? Maybe there are those around her that have tried that route, but they can only get so far with her. I mean, she is a grown adult. You can lead a horse to water….but…
That being said, I have a feeling the color of Kelly’s sky is very different from mine….
I think they have tried. Her ex even lives in the same building as she does to keep an eye on her and the girls.
I agree though the DSM4 has her picture written all over it.
She is certifiable. To which illness I’m not completely sure. But girlfriend needs some serious medication. I don’t think she spends all that much time with her children. They aren’t photographed together very often but when they are you get shots of Teddy riding her bike in the street, without a helmet, in New York. Maybe she was on a day pass from Bellvue (sp?).
So she was acting at the reunion also then? Her kids have a tutor right cause mommy doesn’t know real from her own fantasy?
I think I read that Lulu is tutoring them.
From Wetpaint “Then again, “real” is one of Kelly’s favorite words. She often uses it to just mean something that she finds authentic or of any real value. She would often slam Alex McCord during Season 4 of RHONY for not being “real,” when what she really meant was that Alex was acting overdramatic or silly”
I disagree. I think that when Kelly did not like or understand what was happening, she would go on the attack. Half the time, it seemed, that she did not even understand her own children. But Bethenny and Alex were far too intelligent for Kelly to keep up with, so when she felt left behind she would get very condescending and nasty. That was real TV! That was real embarrassing! To be so dumb and protected and still be on TV. JMHO.
One more….. can’t believe that Heather made the top 5 over Traylor, lol.

i found their choices interesting. I wasn’t aware of Jada until they pointed it out-
I was flipping thru the channels and found one called “Antenna TV”
it runs all the really old sitcoms from way back- “Burns and Allen”
etc. right now it’s running”McHales Navy” remember that one?
I loved that show. when I was really little the re-runs ran everyday-
it just cracked me up. oh boy, have I dated myself. lol
I’ll have to see if I have that. I love watching those types of shows.
Oh, remember” the mother-in-laws” with kaye ballard?
yes, I do remember that show!!
Alright, I’m going on the beach. Hubs getting annoyed, I’m in here on laptop watching TV and everyone’s outside. It’s too hot and humid.
oh well, gotta go-it’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it.
BBL
Have fun!
For OMIB and VILZVET
Also for those of us who love our animals.
“UNTIL ONE HAS LOVED AN ANIMAL A PART OF ONE’S SOUL REMAIN UNAWAKENED” – Anatole France
So true.
That is so sweet and in my case true
I never meant animals harm, in fact I always like them and felt for them being…but since I got my dog, it is so much strong. Also, I never thought I would feel so strong feelings for her. I am so attached to her and I want to make sure she is ok.
I LOVE COFFEE—-I luv that saying. Thx.
I am looking forward to the reunion Part 2 of OC…I hope Vicki and Alexis have some serious give back to the 3 witches of OC. I’ve been giving some thought to Vicki and Brooks, yes he is slimey (from what we know-but the only that slammed him is the gf with 5 baby daddys and has custody of only one child). Where are the ex wives in all of this? Where are the business partners or clients? Nothing has come up on the web??? Someone upthread brought up a great point. Notice how everyone calls Tamra; Jay Photo…, Vicki’s staff…Vicki’s family…Briana…Slades Ex. I say baloney – she called all of these people and did a lot of research on the web. Anyone that looks for ammunition about someone else is SICK. She is deflecting as there is so much about her that is evil. I would say she charged like a demon when married to Simon, she didn’t work like she claimed, she cost Simon his job, she screwed around on Simon with an ex bf, and she screwed around on Simon with Eddie (it’s all over the web) and I believe it. Tamra would not leave a marriage unless she had another man to go to, as she is not the type of woman to take care of herself. Vicki certainly has a lot of ammunition to take Tamra down, however I give her credit as she has not done this…she knows that Tamra moved into Eddie’s house way before the engagement. With regard to Vicki and Brooks/Crooks – who cares if she spends some money on him.
It’s her money and I doubt that she is giving him free reign with anything. She maybe desperate for some real male attention/love (after being with a man who cheated for 20 years), but she is not stupid in the long run and her money/earnings are very important to her. She is the only OC housewife that had a business before OC. With regard to Heather, she is the most pretentious POS out there. Those eyebrows are because of a browlift and not just botox. She pushes chanel all over the place. She looks down on all the housewives and I hate her referring to champagne as champs – what a joke. To call Alexis out for being pretentious is ridic…I would say Heather is much more pretentious. Who entertains someone in their bathroom-dressing room – does she think she is channeling 11940′s movies? I also loved the shot she gave Trampra when Tramps asked about doing shots – both Heather and plastic told her they never do shots and shut Tramps down. She is only friends with Tramps to get into top position, as next season she will look to destroy her. Can you imagine Tramps out with Heather at dinner parties, with that truckers mouth? Hey Heather where is the Nordstrom page about Alexis? Why hasn’t any of the crew anonymously posted about Alexis being a beyotch (that would have happened big time and Andy would have known for certain). Next seaon will be interesting as the groups will change again, my guess is it will be Vicki and Heather against Tramps and Gretched. I also think Vicki is taking a very long look at Tramps and seeing what a despicable little bleached gnome she is. I also believe she now realizes how much drama she created and make Vicki a part of. I think Vicki has finally seen how badly she acted over the years (at least I hope so). I hope Alexis is back and she joins the Heather/Vicki alliance if it goes that way next year. However I think she is very hurt and I am doubtful about her return. By the way I read somewhere else that to buy into the chain that Alexis and Jim bought into for their trampoline business takes a lot of money and a lot of background checks…they passed and he also has locations that he purchased the agreements for the future. This is not an easy thing to do, so their finances are not quite as bad as people seem to think.
Hey I don’t care if Brooks spends every last dime Vicki has but i do have a prob w/Vicki thinking people are stupid and that Brooks is just like Slade, almost exactly the same situation & if she let Donn cheat on her for that long she has no one to blame but herself. Her little speech at the reunion about she feels when people divorce they need to stand on their own two feet, she knows what it’s like not to get support for your children. She doesn’t want to pay Donn alimony yet she stayed w/him throughout those yrs of him having affairs & she prefered not to go home so she worked til 2 and made all that money. Again, it’s on her for staying & he’s entitled to support.
Tamra is just miserable in her life yet claims to be so happy.Yeah she called of those people. It’s just sad. I feel sorry for her kids.
Alexis needs to say goodbye to OC & live her life w/her family. Living good is the best revenge.
We don’t know the entire background of Donn’s cheating. We also don’t know his earning power. There was a period where he wasn’t working and Vicki was supporting the household. I am holding out on alimony until all the stuff comes out. I believe the settlement should be equal. I have some issues as I was left with a mortgage and a home equity loan that was larger than my mortgage by a cheating ex. He told everyone he gave me everything – yeah right everything that was mortgaged to the hilt, and a business he nearly destroyed. So I look at things a bit differently, but still feel things should be equal if the assets are real and not mortgaged. Donn was not a house husband and did have a job, so that is an issue I have.
Tamra is horrible, she will never be happy as I think she is pure evil incarnate. There is not one nice thing I can see about her.
One final thing – Brooks was behind in his child support, but he was paying at one time and apparently (because it is not on the web) he is current. That is the big difference between him and Slade. I am happy that Slade has a job on radio, so maybe now he can pay some of his back support.
I’m pretty sure Alexis is leaving.
I agree.
Just because I disagree with the way that Tamra has handled certain aspects of her friendship with Vicki does not give Vicki a pass.
I still can’t stand Vicki. Like I said before, she is the epitome of so many things I cannot stand. One of those things is her extreme hypocrisy and her use of double standards all the time. Like you, I’m insulted by her trying to present Brookes as this prize when he is nothing more than an ego-boost for her and a source of supply for her narcissism and extreme neediness and co-dependency.
In all honesty, I don’t care if he takes all of her money. In a way, she’d kinda deserve it. If she LIKES it, I LOVE it (Like I’ve told some of my girlfriends in the past, “Enjoy the lowlife while you can, Girlfriend! Have fun! Just don’t come to me crying about him or talking about how wonderful he is! Do YOU! I still love you. Just leave me out of that particular situation!” That’s how I feel about Vicki and Brookes: Enjoy the lowlife while you can. Just STOP trying to tell everybody he’s this prize when we all know he is FAR from it).
I’m sure glad you never met any of my ex boyfriends! lol
I’m just kidding. I think. I’ll have to reflect a bit today.
Let me get back to you.
Oh no. I’ve had shady and bad ex-boyfriends myself (more so in my 20′s, than my 30′s). Many of my good girlfriends took the same tough love approach with me (Love YOU. Can’t stand HIM. It is what it is. Let’s just work around that obstacle the best way we can. We’ll be here for you when he just acts on his nature), and we were able to maintain the friendship while I went “through” it.
I also had some girlfriends that told me whatever I wanted to hear. Not surprisingly, those girlfriends turned out to be flaky and fairweather in the end (shrug).
I think I had only one that kept my father up at nights. He was really cute though
You can’t do a lot of dating as a figure skater as you never know where you are going to be from week to week.
I think Vicky has been humbled this season because of the Brooks situation. You can’t keep throwing boulders at people without something hitting you back. I thought Tamra and Vicki’s attack on Slade was out of line…sure bring it up since it was on the web, but they went out of their way to make it very personal from themselves. Tamra calling his ex was the extreme. Vicky was stupid to align herself with Tamra, but I think because of the marriage issues for both of them they found a commonality in griping about their H’s. Viicky has very low self-esteem and is good at making money, but when it comes to friends and being thoughtful she way behind. Hopefully she learned her lesson. I had a friend like Trampra, and we lived on opposite sides of the country for many years, once she moved to AZ I found her to be judgmental, cheap and an alcoholic to boot. She lied about her accomplisments and lived in a fantasy world for others. I saw glimpses of same over the years, but figured it was important for her to say she went to Stanford (barely got out of high school). Anyway a small thing happened and I just blew up and a lot of the stuff came out, now it’s over and I don’t miss her one bit. I hope Vicky feels the same way abut Tamra. However Vicky needs to own up to her own mistakes over the years.
Sad if Alexis leaves, but I understand it would be almost impossible for her to return.
I think Vicki has low self-esteem also. She walks around in a cloud of fake confidence cause she’s a successfull businesswoman. It’s not the same thing. Every since the show premiered Vicki said ti whoever was around, “I work, I’m tge only one of these girls that works, I can’t do lunch or go on trips during the day cause I work, Go to work”. Well that got her divorced and in a position to have to pay her ex support. Like she says all the time she’s a good businesswoman and any support or lump sum money that Donn gets she’ll earn a lot of it back cause she “works”. No matter what she says she’s not happy and hasn’t been happy for a very long time and prefers making money to being w/her family.
Interesting that Alexis’ Twitter page does not mention that she’s on RHOOC. It does mention that she is the owner of the trampoline park so it’s a recent update.
Gotta watch Peyton Place 1:45 on TCM. Seen it so many times i can’t count but i love Lana Turner.
BB,
I’m glad you are going to be pampered all day as you deserve it.
Happy Birthday to one of my favorites.
Xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Some good news for a change. That Pug mixed dog that was tortured in Texas last week has a new home and a new name. They named her Hope and she will be living on a ranch as soon as she gets released from the hospital. So far they have a few suspects but no arrests have been made yet!
I’m glad Hope is going to have a good home. I think once they catch the person(s) that did this before sending them to jail that person needs to have the same thing done to them that they did to Hope. Just ticks me off beyond belief that people hurt animals like that.
I’ll help you do it. With pleasure. Psychos.
That is good news! I couldn’t watch it on the news when it was reported. I hope guy gets the max. He should get the treatment he put on the pup. Hopefully this will put a stop to that before he branches out to other animals and people.
Hi All, Let’s all go and give him the same treatment. What a pos ba$tard psycho this person is. I could not bring myself to read the entire story until today. I cried, as I cannot handle people hurting animals or children. This was so deliberate and I think people who injure animals to this degree are psychos in training for murder and rape. Hope this person is caught very quickly and put away for a long time. Maybe he will try to escape and the sheriffs will have to “handle” the escape before he is brought in.
Contessa,
There is this organization up in San Fran that’s called
“Voices for Pets”. I just found out about it when we were moving to LA so I don’t know all the details but what they do is to show up to their court dates because the Judge tends to be more strict with his/her sentencing when there is support in the court room.
Oh I want them to go to prison wearing a t-shirt that says what this person did. Say what you want about people in prison but even they have standards when it comes to kids and animals.
Vicky got the house that she can’t sell. It doesn’t say what Donn got because they don’t know.
http://www.tmz.com/2012/07/15/real-housewives-of-orange-county-vicki-gunvalson-mansion-divorce/
Yeah.
Anyone see this one yet?
I hadn’t and the ending was freaking funny!
Hahahahaha that is so funny!
Rofl! I’ve never seen that! Hilarious, esp. Luann’s godawful necklaces. The linked vid of Kyle and Bethenny was interesting, too.
Like!
Hey! Thanks for all the birthday well wishes. So far it’s been great. Thanks Trudie and Dame (daahling, in the voice of LuLu) for your research! OMIB and Vivzlet, I’m sorry for what you are both experiencing. Boston, hope you get to feeling better.
AZ and Nancy, hope your tootsies heal soon. Hope that covers everyone. I’ll be back later on tonight for the chat (probably.)
Happy Birthday BB!! You are a wonderful part of this blog. I hope your day is what you want it to be. <3
Happy Birthday BB hope you have a wonderful day!!!!!!
Hope you are having the Happiest of Birthdays, BB!! Thank you for all you do on the blog for us!
Hope you have an awesome day BB! Many thanks for all the blog posts you do. I swear I don’t know how you do it!
I need to call my FIL and wish him a Happy B-day as well. Be back in a while.
Housewife Tamra Barney Blasts Vicki Gunvalson, Accuses Her Of ‘Straight Up Lie’Housewife Tamra Barney Blasts Vicki Gunvalson, Accuses Her Of ‘Straight Up Lie’
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/07/housewife-tamra-barney-blasts-vicki-gunvalson-accuses-her-lies
It’s funny we’ve been asking why Tamra called all those people and dug up all that info. How is it that everyone else is always lying and Tamra’s not?
Cuz Tamra is a big fat liar. And… if she was a cookie, she would be a whoreo.
lol
Tamra has worked hard all her life to keep herself afloat. I guess being married to Simon all those years was a “job.”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BB!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS PINDY !!!!!!!!!!
Happy B’day BB (and all the others I may have missed during my cancer bout)
City
Thank you Cityside. I think about you often.
Thank you to everyone with the great ideas about potty training a boy, I especially loved the fruit loops idea (although knowing my son he’ll eat them :/ ) Things are better since now he actually aims into the potty! It’s a start. lol
Sorry to hear about your kitty OMIB, we don’t always see eye to eye, but my heart goes out to you.
Happy Birthday BB!
Tamra is GARBAGE – always looking for the next sucker to support her. Let’s talk about posers – she mentioned when Andy was looking at all the shoes, that she ordered loubitans or jimmy choos but they hadn’t arrived on time (she does not buy high end and she carries imitation designer bags), so she had to wear something old.
Once again she is a destination whore, doesn’t leave the present guy, until she lines up the new one. She was not going to find herself and live her life – that was bs until Eddie proposed. Love the part of her moving the children into Eddies house way before the engagement – pot calling Kettle. Also the issue of support/maintenance is she didn’t want anyone going through her records, as she probably makes more money than Simon and that is also the reason for shared custody. No child support on either side. If she could have gotten away with support, she would have done so in a NY minute.
I want to point something out about Vicky, do you all remember her saying she was very hurt that Donn did not adopt her children? It was kind of weird to me, as her ex was/is kind of slimey and her kids were very small when they married. I think I figured this out – Donn never wanted to have the financial responsibility if they got divorced. If you love your spouses kids and want to be a real dad and they are small, why not go all the way. I think it was a huge barrier for them. I also think the 20 years of cheating was on/off kind of thing and he would be good and than start again.
From what I’ve read Don got their house in Lake Havasu and she got the big house, that leaves the condo (time share) in Mexico and the other smaller house in Coto.
Tamara will get hers…karma will catch up to her.
Yeppers! It’s going to hurt too. She’s acting like all is right in her world on FB and Twitter and, most likely, attributes the backlash to haters (that’s us). Pshaw! She’s the new JillZ of HW’s, and will soon be reduced to posting pics of herself and quoting her horrorscope.
If the kids father is alive, why would Donn adopt them? I never really understood why she’d want that anyway.
Also, I don’t know how true it is, but Vicki allegedly got pregnant for Donn while she was still married to her 1st husband. She allegedly aborted the baby to prevent the ensuing scandal.
Once she supposedly left her 1st husband for Donn, she later had her tubes tied, which supposedly deeply hurt Donn because he wanted to have at least 1 biological child. I think Vicki may have discussed having her tubes tied and Donn’s disappointment with that on the show.
I think Donn and Vicki had a very complicated relationship with LOTS of resentment and unhappiness. Maybe Donn refused to adopt Vicki’s children after she had her tubes tied without consulting him.
I’m sure there is A LOT to that whole story.

Thanks Lynn!
Well I am home alone and bored, and spirits a bit low. I just found that OC is having a maratonm and the last episode is about to start. I will sit and watch it, I’m sure it will take my mind completely away from my thoughts. Funny that is how I started watching RHwives originally…
(((((((((((California))))))))))) Hang in there my dear.
Aw! Wish that I could cheer you up.
According to Ms. Piggy (no, not Vicki) “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.”
Does that help?
This wasn’t about beauty, but it sure make me giggle
thanks. I like miss Piggy, I sure could use her influence 
Take a look at this link:

Any ways, either way I like I don’t have to deal with real housewives types – and I know anything going on with me right now won’t get worst by adding drama or having cameras around me
(((C35)))
I feel ya. I’ve been having the blues for the past few days myself. Keep the faith.
We need a detox
We sure do.
Happy B-Day BB!! We are exactly one week apart! I hope you are having your best yet
I’m not sure if I am ready for another round of NJ. It’s 3:10 in the west coast. Is it too early for a glass of wine? Be kind. After all, it’s the weekend, right?
Heck no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have one for me please.
If I’m going to watch NJ I will be joining you. They stress me out! We can take turns on who gets Nancy’s glass.
Story of my life Mookies1mom! I don’t miss the calories.
Do have one, no judging here. I am not having any because I rather not add substance to my state of mind right now lol
Aww, Cali! How about I send you a big bottle of hugs instead. lol Hang in there!
Vegas chick mentioned up thread about Alexis changing her twitter info. Here’s a tweet she replied to 17 hours ago that I think says bye bye officially to Alexis:
@: @did you read that @AlexisBellino won’t be coming back to #RHOC if its up to her hubby Jim, he doesn’t want her being #bullied
@AlexisBellino: @ @ Yes, he does care about me, but as my own person, it’s up to me and I don’t necessarily think this is for me https://twitter.com/alexisbellino/status/224367652439732224
That is a really strange picture of her. I think it means that she does want to come back. What do you think?
I think it means she doesn’t – but she’s keeping her options open. I suspect in three of four months when it’s time to decide she’d have forgotten about how awful it was.
In a few months Tamra and Gretchen will stop pretending that they are friends, and Alexis and Vicki will have solidified their alliance. Vicki may be awful – but she is loyal and she knows she needs a friend to do another season of the show – so Alexis could trust her if Vicki promised to have her back.
Good points. For selfish reasons I hope she does come back but I don’t think this show is healthy for her.
I wonder if Vicki will come back if Alexis isn’t?
To me it sounds like she is saying that she may not come back. I wouldn’t blame her. If it was me being attacked like that (at the reunion) I would have walked off the stage and right out of the building. In Costa Rica I would have left the restaurant, packed my bags and left for the airport before Gretchen had a chance to get up from the table.
I’m not that huge of a fan of Alexis but having everyone gang up on one person is not my idea of fair or helpful either. Not that I think that is what you are saying. Just putting that out there.
I would have walked out of the reunion in a heartbeat.
You teach people how to treat you.
i was amazed during the RHONY reunions that
Alex never got up and walked out.
the way she sat there and took all that BS pissed me off, and I lost respect for her b/c of that-
There were at least 3x she would have been justified to get up and leave……….
Jimbo said something on his two sentence blog illuding to the fact so I won’t be suprised if Alexis exits stage right.
I agree with you on points. I’m definitely no fan of hers so I kinda have the ‘don’t let the door hit you’ attitude. If I were in her shoes (which would never happen as her feet are too small, Nene and Marlo tho- that’s a whole ‘mother story lol), I agree I would have left. The whole flight or fight. I honestly (IMO) think Alexis is too dumb/slow witted to fight with the other couch. Even one on one I think those three are just quicker witted. Alexis reminds me of the person who waits a day after the arguement to text/call with her comebacks.
I think the draw of the paycheck is a big deal to her. I mean seriously let’s think about it: last season Jim wouldn’t film with Vicki, Tamara, Peggy,etc. this season, he’s filming with them and husbands. What changed minus Peggy? So was it Jim’s attempt to get Peggy off the show? Or did bravo wave the signed contract in his face? I can’t get over Lex’s views on women last season. I can’t have sympathy/empathy for her due to them, but I do think there was a better way to handle the gang up.
I should clarify, ‘to handle the gang up’ referring to not having it- bringing the issues to light minus the gang.
nomoredrama (formerly housewifeaddict) and Pghemtchick You both made some really good points. They probably are only thinking about the money and forget about all the bad stuff when the contract is put in front of them.
I’d be right there with you Mookies1Mom. I would’ve cut those shrews off so fast, they wouldn’t have known what happened!!!!!
Right? I just have a low tolerance for bullshit and negative people. Been there, done that and I’m done with it.
They would have just yelled louder. You fight with stupid you knock yourself down to their level. I don’t think being sharp tongued makes Tamra smarter. She just has more practice at being mean and nasty.
I think Alex stayed on the stage because she’s the kind to fulfill a contract and she has to get a paycheck.
nancy, the kittens are soooo sweet but full of energy or dead asleep. i named the apricot one louis 2 after my grandson. he reminds me of louis the way he wants to snuggle and is scared of my bypap machine. it’s ok after i coverup the hose i guess he thinks it’s a snake. hubby named the black one cuddlies because that all he wants to do. except at 3am when it is run the house and bite the toes. lol we left them in the family room to play but nothing doing. they sat at the door and cried to come in. of course we let them but just as soon as i was asleep my toes got bitten. it’s amazing how loud they can be while still being so small and they purr with their entire bodies the second they are touched. kittens are a trip and i’m loving it.,debi
debi,
Thank-you for our update. Keep us informed.
That made me very happy so thank-you. Don’t worry the toe biting will be over in 6 months! lol. They do brighten up ones lives. Hopefully Louis and cuddlies
will get alone and become great friends. Our little “darlings” have been in
WWlll from the gate. I have no idea why but I’ve given up on them liking each other. I didn’t know you were on a bypap machine. I hope you are feeling better with it.
along
Want any more? Smudge had 3 kittens. She got knocked up before I could get her fixed. They must be triplets because they all have the exact same markings. She turned out to be a great little mommy. I was worried about that because this was her first (and last) litter.
Debs, they sound soo cute!!
Aw, geez! Now, you have me wanting one. My Gizmo (who is now 15) used to kiss my eyes in the middle of the night. Kittens are the best… sweetest energy in the universe. Have fun!
Was that really a diamond?? Why would Heather give out diamond? I might have missed the reason behind it.
Nope. There was no reason for the diamond except for Heather to feel better about herself. But remember it’s Alexis that’s “phony”!

OT I finally got a hold of my FIL to wish him a happy birthday. I talked to my MIL also. I’m seriously lucky to have them. They love me like I’m their own and they are so supportive. Wish I could clone them for people whose IL’s treat them badly.
