Luann de Lesseps Says Ramona Singer Is A Narcissist
I have been watching the Real Housewives of New York from the very beginning, but I still find it so difficult to figure out where the relationships stand between the ladies. It is so hard to tell who is on good terms at any given moment. That coupled with the fact that watching a show about your clique is bound to resurface old feelings and a pretty vicious cycle is created.
Luann de Lesseps and Ramona Singer are original cast members on RHONY so I naively assume that they will always stick together, but I’m usually wrong about this. With that said, Luann has some pretty damning comments for her sometimes friend Ramona and Dorinda Medley‘s boyfriend John after watching the latest episode.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
Luann did not go to the psychic reading (obviously since it was at Carole Radiziwill‘s home and they hate each other), but she had a pretty strong reaction to it, and a lot of it was against Ramona. Luann wrote about the experience in her latest Bravo blog entry: “The thing about the coins gave me the chills! I hate to admit this, but I wasn’t surprised when Kim said Dorinda would not marry John. Ramona’s outburst was totally uncalled for.” I have to agree with her on that one. Yelling “Thank God” when the psychic said Dorinda would not marry John was definitely not something a good friend should do – especially on a reality TV show.
Luann also used her blog to take a dig at her on-again-off-again friend Bethenny Frankel when she wrote, “Bethenny tried to hide her emotions behind her cell phone and a wall of sarcasm, yet you can see her reaction when Kim says she doesn’t see her getting remarried. Even in the afterlife, Bethenny’s father is incapable of having a good relationship with her. Sad.” Wow. I think it’s a little much to diss someone’s dead dad. I don’t really see why that was a necessary comment to make, but it’s clear that Lu is finally catching on to how Bethenny has been distancing herself from her this season and she is dissing her in response.
RELATED: Dorinda Medley Is Happy To Be Out Of The Crosshairs
Luann feels bad for Dorinda being caught in the middle with her boyfriend John and her longtime friend Ramona. She even referred to them both as narcissists: “Narcissists are difficult to communicate with because they bring every discussion back to themselves. Dorinda arrived to dinner with John angry, and she left angry. She was upset from her argument with Ramona about John during the psychic reading, and she needed John to listen to her and for him to consider how his relationship with Ramona affects her. Neither Ramona nor John considers Dorinda’s feelings. I hope they can come to some sort of agreement so that Dorinda can relax.” I really do feel bad for Dorinda. She is trying her best to please everyone in her life and it has to be exhausting.
Of course, Luann had to address the whole re-gifting issue with Ramona‘s birthday necklace: “I really shouldn’t have to explain to Ramona that to re-gift means to give a gift one has received to someone else. She said that she liked the sample of the necklace, so when it was produced, I gave her one. She is so ungrateful!” I honestly see both sides in this situation. I get that Luann was just getting Ramona the necklace that she promised to give her, but maybe she should have given it to her at another time?
And while Luann is already laying into Sonja, she has to talk about Ramona‘s attempt to get Luann to stop being a “bad influence” on Sonja: “As for her opinion on my staying with Sonja while I apartment hunting, it’s nobody’s business but Sonja’s and mine. How much we party and with whom we socialize is also not Ramona’s business.” I don’t think anyone can influence Sonja in any way shape or form. The woman does whatever she wants however she wants – no peer pressure necessary.

Craig Conover Believes He Was Poorly Portrayed At The Bourbon Tasting
I don’t know about you, but I felt very uncomfortable watching Craig Conover during that bourbon tasting on Southern Charm. In all honesty, it came off like Craig really had no idea what he was doing or what his role was in the bourbon company. I was just getting vicariously embarrassed as the event dragged on.
Well, Craig is saying that the footage shown on that episode was very misleading and that he actually is a lot more involved with the business than it appears. If you follow Craig on Twitter, or even if you tweeted at him, you would see that Craig is actively trying to defend himself.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
Watching the episode, it seemed like Craig just thought he should be handed ownership of the bourbon company. Craig was tweeting up a storm to prove that was not actually the case.
In response to a fan who asked, “Do you feel like you were portrayed correctly last night? Seems like you are made to be the kid who thinks he is owed everything,” Craig responded by saying, “haha no. But I guess u cant win them all. It’s middle of season they needed to bring me (down arrow emoji) a little.” There was more to it though. It seemed like Craig was responding to anyone who wanted clarification about what went down.
A different Southern Charm viewer tweeted, “We’re at “Craig’s warehouse”??? WTF! It’s a 3rd generation biz IN JOHN’s family! Hello?! #SouthernCharm.” Craig responded by saying, “We just started the company a year ago dude – where’d you get that?” I too was under the impression that it was JD‘s family business and he took on Craig to mentor him, but maybe I need to re-watch the episode? Or I just need to realize that it is impossible to show every aspect of anyone’s life in a reality TV show.
RELATED: Reality Tea’s Exclusive Interview with Landon Clements
Another Twitter user wrote, “I’m confused whether @C_Conover is an employee or a partner in this Gentry Group situation…” and Craig responded with something that I did not expect or really understand, “Both, it’s complicated. Especially when they don’t air everything. They said it would be too hard to follow.” I really wish they did show more though because I’m curious about how this arrangement worked out and I also feel bad if Craig is not being portrayed well if it is not accurate.
I just wish that JD Madison would step up to explain the deal that was made with Craig when he signed on to the bourbon company. On one hand, Craig really does not have much credibility based on the past. Then again, it really does seem like Craig has made some good steps forward and that he really is trying to take on an active role in the business. It is hard to figure out what to really believe.
TELL US – DO YOU THINK THAT CRAIG WAS POORLY PORTRAYED AT THE BOURBON TASTING? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT HE IS ACTUALLY MORE INVOLVED WITH THE COMPANY?

Bethenny Frankel Thinks Sonja Morgan “Creates Imaginary Businesses” To Stay Relevant
Last season on Real Housewives of New York, pretty much no one believed in Sonja Morgan or gave her the time of day except for Bethenny Frankel. Bethenny is arguably the busiest one in the bunch, but she still managed to make it to some of Sonja’s business meetings and attempt to serve as her mentor. She encouraged Sonja to be realistic while still being kind to her.
It looks like that’s all out the window. Even though Bethenny and Sonja were not in the same room at all during the most recent episode of RHONY, Sonja threw her name around a lot. She kept talking about how she wanted Bethenny to go to her birthday party/business launch and how she wanted Bethenny to be proud of her burgeoning Prosecco business. Well, it turns out that Bethenny is not at all supportive of Sonja’s latest attempt at entrepreneurship.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
First off, I think it’s a little much to tie in your business launch with a birthday party. The event should have focused on one aspect only, but that’s just my opinion. I also thought it was super weird how Sonja kept talking about how she wanted Bethenny to go to her party, yet she did not reach out to her.
RELATED: KIM ZOLCIAK LAUNCHES NEW PRODUCT AT BIRTHDAY PARTY
Apparently Bethenny also found that to be kind of odd since she addressed it in her Bravo blog: “Come on Sonja, it’s like you’re an actress now. ‘Bethenny didn’t RSVP, so I guess that means she’s coming.’ Since when is that what that means? You know I’m not coming because Ramona told you, and because you know we haven’t spoken in months.” Classic Bethenny: telling it like it is. And in all honesty, if Sonja really wanted Bethenny to show up, then she should have contacted her. A lack of RSVP does not guarantee attendance. In fact, it means the opposite.
Then Bethenny threw in this random barb: “And please stop deflecting onto Ramona your substance abuse issues. That’s just cowardly. Own your own stuff.” Oh shit. It’s getting real.
Bethenny then hit Sonja where it will really hurt her by attacking her “business sense.” She really went in when she wrote, “Sonja has had: an event company, a jewelry line, toaster, Nigerian football team, fashion line, and now a Prosecco – none of which have come to fruition. It is laughable but more sad.” I guess those days of trying to mentor Sonja are long gone – clearly.
Bethenny went in for another dig when she wrote, “Women, this is not how it works. This is the problem when being a reality star is your actual job versus having a career the show follows. People create imaginary businesses to stay relevant.” Oh wow. Bethenny is definitely not playing around. At all. The woman is absolutely fuming.
Bethenny touched on a comment that Dorinda Medley made, but then talked about how it doesn’t really apply since she created her own niche in the liquor industry, “Dorinda is right that there is room for everyone. I singlehandedly cracked the code and invented a category in the spirits industry, and it was next to impossible.” She really did build up a way bigger empire than anyone expected, so props to her.
Bethenny took the diss a step further and called out Housewives from other franchises who (tried to) sell their own alcohol: “Ramona, Teresa, Kathy Wakile, NeNe, Vicki and the OC girls and more have all followed suit. I know the numbers and believe me, it isn’t easy and almost all have discontinued or are currently a vanity play. I have begrudged none of them. There is room for everyone, and I hit it out of the park.” Nothing like an insult aimed at multiple people coupled with a humble brag about yourself to get the point across.
Bethenny addressed the thought that we all have about the similarity between Sonja’s Prosecco that she wants to call “Tipsy Girl” and Bethenny’s Skinnygirl empire: “I believe people are wondering how I will feel about Tipsy Girl because Sonja has a drinking problem. I have a brand called Skinnygirl, including a Prosecco, and I am supposedly her mentor who had no idea.” Bethenny is more than upset about this and I can see where she is coming from. It definitely is a little shady to create a product that your mentor has and to give it a similar name.
RELATED: SONJA MORGAN AND BETHENNY FRANKEL FEUD OVER BOOZE
Bethenny put the nail in the coffin when she wrote, “Please note, the product is not available for sale. This may just be another sideshow to stay on the main show.” To be honest with you, Sonja has plenty of antics that will keep her on the show I don’t think that anyone cares about her business attempts as much as people enjoy watching her dating and partying. She should just stop talking about all these businesses and start bringing the film crew out with her when she hits the bar.

Rob Kardashian Talks Baby He’s Expecting With Blac Chyna; First Interview In 2 Years
As longtime fan of Keeping Up With the Kardashians (judge me, it’s fine), I’ve really missed seeing Rob Kardashian on the show and even in the media these past few years. Rob and his new fiance Blac Chyna have been making up for the lost time that Rob spent being a super private person. Their whirlwind courtship has been extremely public, and now that they are engaged and have a baby on the way, I expect my Instagram feed to really be popping off in the next few months.
Instagram is cool and all, but Rob is slowly coming back into the limelight and he even had his first interview in years with E! (basically the Kardashian and Jenner channel at this point). It was a pretty brief interview, but it’s still nice to hear direct questions and answers instead of having to interpret subtweets and memes posted on social media.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
Rob was joined by his fiance for the brief E! interview, which is not super shocking. These two are definitely in the honeymoon phase of their relationship and seem to do pretty much everything together. Plus, E! is saying that it’s Rob‘s first on camera interview in over two years, so I’m sure he wanted some support from his lady.
During the interview, Rob was asked about his baby that’s on the way and Rob was cutely excited for what’s to come. Rob said, “I mean it’s my first time, so everything is exciting, literally.” Aaaww. In between all the gossip and scandal, it’s hard to remember that a new baby will be here soon, so it’s just nice to see the story come back to that instead of some of the other nonsense.
Rob also said something that caught me off guard, considering how public he and Blac Chyna have been about every single thing during the past few months, “I’m happy and I just like to keep it, you know, keep it private…as private as can be.” I think that is a good sentiment to have since it is most important to focus on the health and well-being of the baby instead of anything in the media, but these two are just creating their own press these days, so I’m shocked by the statement. I have always been a Rob fan though, so I support what he wants.
Then, I thought it was super weird when the interviewer asked Blac Chyna if Rob’s sister Kim Kardashian gave her any motherhood advice since Blac Chyna is already a mother and has a son with Tyga. But I guess maybe it’s possible that Kim had specific advice that had to do with having two kids or something like that? Anyway, Blac Chyna did not think the question was as odd as I did because she said, “She gives me a lot of tips, actually.”
It’s nice to see that Rob is in a much better place than he has been in the past few years. I don’t know if I believe anything about this couple striving for privacy, but I guess we will see.
I also have to be petty for a second and point out that E! spelled Blac Chyna wrong in the interview captions and it had me cracking up… so much for the Kardashians having the network in their back pocket.
TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE KARDASHIAN BABY THAT’S ON THE WAY? DO YOU THINK THE COUPLE WILL MAKE AN EFFORT TO BE PRIVATE?

NeNe Leakes Poses In A Bikini; Shares Diet And Weight Loss Tips; Talks RHOA Season 9
NeNe Leakes has taken Sheree Whitfield‘s advice to fix that body! After working hard to get in shape, NeNe posted some revealing bikini pics for us all to enjoy. NeNe also shared her weight loss journey. Cause on Bravo – you ain’t nobody if you ain’t got no journey!
NeNe credited her busy schedule and her lack of portion control for her weight gain, adding, “Well, you know, I’m a funny eater.”
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
“My biggest problem has always been and will always be that I work all day and forget to eat and then I eat late at night with some cocktails,” NeNe told E!.
The Real Housewives Of Atlanta star’s advice for weight loss is to know your weaknesses and watch that plate overload. “Having to deprive myself of anything is a no-no for a girl like me!” preached NeNe. “It’s all about being mindful about what we eat and PORTION CONTROL. That’s the key…because hunni, we like to eat!”
Also, according to NeNe the camera really does add 10 lbs, “A lot of people when I meet them, they say, ‘I thought you were this big woman.’ I’m, like, ‘I’m curvy, honey, but I am not real big.'”
“Smooth sailing on the boat yesterday in Miami with my hubby for Mother’s Day! Thanks to my girlie @charliesangelll for this hot number I’m wearing! I even caught an ole nasty tan.” [Credit: Instagram]
“Bye Beach! It’s always great to come relax, grab an ole nasty tan and get my entire life! Hello GREENVILLE SC. Let’s turn allllllllllll the way up TONIGHT.” [Credit: Instagram]
So, NeNe has shed the weight, but has she shed her Housewives title? Right… NeNe quitting RHOA is like Kenya Moore telling the truth, aka when wigs grow wings and fly.
Yet again, NeNe is pretending she “doesn’t know” if she’ll be back for the 9th season of Real Housewives Of Atlanta, which is supposed to start filming soon.
“I don’t know if I’m gonna be there full-time for season 9,” admitted NeNe, “but I always like to say to people that Bravo and the Housewives helped launch my career, so I will always be loyal to them and be there in some capacity.”
NeNe also spilled some insider info on the trauma that is a Real Housewives reunion.
“People don’t understand our call-time is like 7am and we’re there until, like, 2 in the morning. It’s a lot of pressure because you have to sit in front of the person that you actually talked about, OK, and they sit us real close to each other!” NeNe revealed that they bring each Housewife out on the stage “one-by-one” and sit them down “all dramatically” to help spur the drama, plus during the reunion they replay the confessionals. “So, it’s not like you can really lie, and like I didn’t really say that!” she laughed.
“All the drama is very real,” NeNe explained to FabLife. “Some of the girls when the cameras come on it’s like their wigs totally squeezed their brains because they change! They can just be sitting there talking to you normal, and then the cameras come on and it’s like, girl, did somebody put a battery in your back?!'”
“It’s very difficult,” NeNe continued. “I’ve always been there, I’ve never not been there.” Referring to Real Housewives Of Atlanta as “my baby,” NeNe admitted she was excited to be included in the reunion. “I was feeling some kinda way – like am I really watching my baby on the TV screen and I’m not there? Let me get my clothes on!”
“I had to go,” she insisted. “I have been doing this show since the day we ever rolled a camera and had one little van and one little camera. It’s my dysfunctional family.”
Oh, and just in case you can’t get enough of #LifeOfLeakes, NeNe’s one-woman comedy show is touring and her ABC gameshow To The The Truth hits airwaves this summer.
TELL US – DO YOU THINK NENE WILL RETURN TO RHOA?

Real Housewives Of New York Recap: Psychic Friends Or Psycho Friends
The ladies of Real Housewives Of New York are lucky where psychics are concerned. They generally get the nice sort who pass along good vibes and communications with loving husbands from the beyond. Unlike oh, say, Allison DuBois or that psychic popstar friend of Tamra’s who predicted Brooks was faking cancer! Anyway, last night Carole Radziwill hired a medium, who found her self mediating between Ramona Singer and Dorinda Medley‘s World War John.
“They needed that,” the woman remarked calmly as Ramona and Dorinda held each other and cried after their blow-up. This woman needs to be making more appearances on Bravo.
However, we begin with psycho facialists. Sonja Morgan is getting human skin cells spread on her face, since placenta is too expensive to buy on the black market! Sonja needs to hook Yolanda up with Satoko!
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Skin cells remind Sonja of semen, which Satoko hasn’t considered bottling. THAT might be a business venture Sexy Sonja and her Sexy J could find success in! Instead Sonja reveals her upcoming birthday party (which she forgot to send out most of the invites for), to will have reveal a new business venture she’s been keeping top-secret. Sonja has her intern sift through the RSVPs and is shocked that Bethnny Frankel hasn’t replied. Sonja assumes that means Bethenny will show up. Either way, no RSVP or showing up – it’s all bad manners. Like that’s ever stopped B!
Sonja hopes Bethenny will be there since she encouraged her business endeavors and served as a mentor in the past. Oof to famous last words…
Ramona will be attending. Despite her drama with Sonja, they’re still the worse-half of each other’s hearts. Naturally Dorinda with her +1, the very extra John will also be there, since he’d show up to the opening of an envelope. Or a bra party – gotta hoist those moobs! #TheBro
In the West Village, on a tiger-striped sofa from Lee Radziwill‘s past (seriously – this sofa has gotta be a useful metaphor somehow), Carole hosts a medium to channel her friends’ dysfunction. Dorinda is ecstatic. Bethenny is difficult and dragging the entire Skinnygirl retinue with her in party favors. Jules Wainstein is Jewish (didntya know?!), and therefore ineligible to be channeled, but she wants to impress her new friends.
Oh, and Ramona is very rudely late. Bustling in, interrupting the flow, plopping down while chattering. Incredibly, she was not the most obtrusive or unwanted guest. “These are my friends,” Carole sighs as Bethenny visibly and rudely snubs the very endearing medium by Facebook scrolling.
The medium tells Jules that something from her past will make her a role model to others. For Dorinda she sees a John on top of a John on top of a John – and no, it has nothing to do with brothels or Andy Cohen‘s fantasies, or even the present John in her life – it’s her father, her grandfather, and her brother who are all named John! Then the medium sees two Rs – one for Richard (Dorinda’s late-husband), and one for Robert (his brother).
“Richard” warns Dorinda that John does not provide emotional security, and that their relationship won’t last. Also, she won’t marry him. “Thank god!” interjects Ramona. Dorinda erupts like Mount Vituperous. She demands Ramona stop with the negative comments and acting like a bitch. As the two go at it, Dorinda snaps “Where’s Mario?! Oh, that’s right – he left you for another woman!” DAMN, DO! DAMN! Ramona may have started it, but Dorinda finished it.
Ramona immediately wants to change the subject, since focusing on anything unsavory about Ramona is not in Ramona’s wheelhouse, but Dorinda keeps pushing.
Meanwhile the medium just peacefully mediates between the ladies, encouraging them to get it out there. Then she tells Ramona she’ll get married again and communicates with Ramona’s father, whom Ramona despised, only making peace with him a week before he died. The medium mentions a photo they took – the only one an adult-Ramona has ever taken with her father.
She also meets up with Bethenny’s father, who warns B that she’s looking more and more like her mother (OUCH!) and that she won’t get married again. That’s it for Bethenny, she stomps out the door. Poor Carole got lost in the shuffle and didn’t even get a reading. Then ventured over to Jules‘ apartment to hear about the ghosts of her past.
Jules, Jules, Jules… you know, I like her. Obnoxious comments about money aside – which I think she makes as a defense mechanism, because she’s clearly a woman who is uncomfortable and slightly regressed – is so flustered by Carole’s presence she admits she can’t boil water. In a microwave. Is this an affect Jules has created – acting ditzy – or is she genuinely the overwhelmed sort?
I imagine ‘Cool Carole‘ with those watching eyes, warily observing, made Jules feel a little judged and edgy. Not that I think Carole was doing it on purpose, but Carole is “writer girl” and a writer is always watching. Except for me – I’m more the spastic-as-Jules sort, especially in the kitchen, where it’s The ADD Chef (Coming soon on Bravo! SAAAAARCASM).
Anyway, once Jules figures out the microwave is not the oven, nor the Sonja Morgan Toaster Oven with the clearance tag still attached, nor that tube sticking out of the the hole in the countertop, she and Carole retire to the mismatched sofas and consciously ignore the carb buffet spread before them. It was like some sort of mind game, each of them wiling the other to crack and eat a macaroon. F–k I was about to go through the 4th-dimesnon to break the tension by eating a breadstick.
With all that food literally staring them down, Jules admits to 12 years in remission from her eating disorder. She hopes to inspire others that you can get through this and live a normal life. Carole feigns support, but then comments in the confessional that Jules clearly has food issues – lots of them, which is why she’s always putting out so much food.
Yet to Jules‘ face Caorle, who has left Baby at home and Adam in Ethiopia, and therefore has no one to mother-smother-hover-over starts counseling Jules on develping an advocacy plan. Carole suggests writing a book – she knows a good ghostwriter!
Meanwhile Dorinda and the lump of turtitude she unconvinces herself she loves, takes her out to dinner and pisses her off by talking shit about Ramona. Dorinda keeps instructing John to move forward, but he just wants to prove he’s not to blame for everyone hating him. Except he is. So Dorinda tells John, and his glasses with strobe lights on them, to catch an Uber back to Queens. Then she storms out, tossing her wrap over her shoulder. Well that’s a way to make an exit!
Dorinda confounds me – it’s like she can’t admit to herself that she doesn’t like John either and all the things her friends say about him are true. Instead she digs in her heels and goes overboard defending him. Bethenny is right, she is always trying to sell John, but to herself! Seriously – the dude was wearing glasses with HAZARD LIGHTS on them – it is literally staring Dorinda in the face that he’s social destruction. She needs to BASTA that relationship and ask Luann de Lesseps to find her a UES-appropriate rebound fling.
Oh speaking of Lu, poor Lu – this season everyone is dumping on Lu like a pirate dumping her on the beach come sunset. She just wants to have fun, but everyone want to drag her down to their uncool levels.
As Sonja is prepping for her birthday blow-up, Bethenny is pretending thousands of people have lined up in the rain to sample her Skinnygirl schlock out of a rented food truck. Then she lectures her employees (and us, vicariously) about the amazingness of their own success, until their eyes glaze over and they mentally lie down in oncoming traffic.
Sonja’s secret business has been marinating in the toaster oven of her imagination, but now it’s ready to be served on a platter to an Astor or a Skinnygirl. Now that she can finally prove it’s real – unlike her 65 million other ventures, like the designer dinosaur fossil jewelry, and Nigerian perfumed soccer jerseys, or was that soccer teams for cats, or hats for headless horseman, and sanity charms for Kelly Bensimon… anyway, this one exists.
Sonja straps on a jumpsuit that makes her boobs look lopsided, and gleefully swans around her party mingling and mixing. Her business partner is a familiar face – he once attempted to open a restaurant with Ramona, but that sunk spectacularly. Now he’s glommed onto Sonja in her vulnerable state of Mary Tyle Moore-itis, aka, trying to prove to the world that she can make it with her smile.
Ramona being Ramona channels her jealousy that Sonja and Lu have grown quite close, by reigniting her constant bitching about Lu. She regales everyone with the tale of Luann and the re-gifted birthday necklace, adding to the story that the cheap Countess Collection jewelry gave her a rash, so she can’t wear it anyway. Speak of the devil because in the middle of Ramona’s story, in walks Luann. Sonja leaps up to greet her.
Luann is already pissy at Ramona for blaming her for Sonja’s escalated drinking and calling her a bad influence all over town, so Luann pulls Ramona aside for a friendly confrontation. Luann reminding her of the Pinot Singer years where she Turtle Timed and hauled a Birkin full of Pinot everywhere she went, but Ramona has conveniently blocked those things out – as she often does. Apparently that doesn’t count, but the brothel Luann is running from Sonja’s upstairs does, and also all the menz she’s dragging home. Didn’t Ramona hook up with a random during last season’s cast trip?! Ramona needs to check herself before she wrecks herself. Oh wait, Ramona is the Titanic of manners.
While all this going down, Jules pulls MichaelD2 over to act as an eavesdropping shield. Too funny, but miniMike being Jules’ cover for anything is not gonna pass.
Before the dust from that argument has even settled, Dorinda – smirkily – informs Lu that Ramona was complaining about her gift, or re-gift rather. Ramona is livid, yells at Dorinda, but then resumes telling the tale of the re-gifted necklace which was certainly was no monogrammed designer bag! Luann scoffs that Ramona is rude and ungrateful. Ramona – rude?! Ramona – ungrateful?! Never!
All this talk of presents has Sonja wondering where her birthday gifts are. In Ramona’s purse lies a re-re-gifted Countess Collection necklace, that may give you hives, and does little to curtail your bad manners despite the etiquette infused inside it’s crystals, but it will certainly leave you in friendship tangles!
Sonja interrupts all this Ramona–Luann bickering to focus the attention where it belongs: The many-evolving businesses of Sonja J Morgan – the businesses change as often as the men, and the party favors may be the false eyelash glue stuck on your face the next morning.
Sonja’s big announcement is the unveiling of her new Tipsy Girl prosecco. Sonja loves prosecco and has always wanted to launch one. Her partner chose and trademarked the name pre-Sonja, but she feels it’s a perfect fit for her and her brand of tipsy, life of the party, fun. Luann is thrilled for her friend and praises the cute name. Ramona is aghast that Sonja is now in the liquor business – as if she needs any impetus to drink!
If Dorinda is the lady doth protests too much, Ramona perhaps the lady doth project too much!
Only Jules realizes there’s a potential conflict of interest brewing – doesn’t Bethenny have a prosecco? Doesn’t Bethenny own the rights – legally, emotionally, and hubristically – to all things ending in “girl”? She’s also been trying to obtain control of “skinny,” but you know there’s a debate about whether she borrowed that – according to John, anyway.
Dorinda can’t imagine Bethenny will care since she’s “the ocean” while Sonja, with her bubbly, is “a little pond” – there’s room for everyone, so she is happy for Sonja. Sonja may be on a champagne buzz for now, but next week the Big Ole B is back to pop her bubbles!
Even if it is a slight infringement over Bethenny’s brand, there’s a ton of ‘Skinny’ products out there, yet Bethenny’s became uber-successful due to her handwork and dedication. I believe the real reason Bethenny is pissed is because she wants to prevent other liquors from being promoted on RHONY. Notice we haven’t seen much of Ramona Pinot this season or last. Notice how the vodka Luann planned to launch has never gotten any air time – and oh, what a coincidence, Bethenny now has severed ties with Lu as well…
TELL US – IS TIPSY GIRL A GOOD FIT FOR SONJA? WAS THE MEDIUM LEGIT? DOES RAMONA HAVE RIGHT TO BE PISSED OVER HER ‘REGIFTED’ NECKLACE?

Little Women: NY Recap: Three’s Company
Last week, the season premiere of Little Women: NY went from zero to drama and tonight’s episode was no exception. Lila Call has bigger issues than her beef with roomie Jason Perez while the forever judge-y Dawn Lang and sister-in-law Jazmin Lang continue to butt heads. Jessica “Jess” Capri takes time off from helping her pregnant friend, Katie Snyder, to deal with her Dawn issues as well.
Jazmin is on the hunt for a roommate now that her husband, David Lang, is moving to Florida for work. True to form, Dawn said “hell to the nah” about Jazmin moving in, so Jazmin decides to stop by Jessica’s apartment to see if she can crash there. Unfortunately for Jazmin, a pregnant Katie has already taken that slot. Katie mentions she knows David and Dawn from back in the day and Jazmin tells Katie how crappy of a sister-in-law she is. Jessica makes the obvious observation that Dawn is a hater.

Jason and his boyfriend, DJ, have a romantic rooftop breakfast of cereal, fruit salad, and some random scones while Jason laments how he hasn’t talked to Lila since their big blow up at the pajama jam. And he’s not ready to because he’s just enjoying spending time with his “boo.”
Jess decides she hasn’t taken enough flogging from Dawn and meets her for lunch to confront her about all the ish-talking Dawn did at the pajama jam. Judge Dawn gives Jessica some resume-worthy objective about how she wants to make sure she guides Jazmin to a “professional performance career.” Jessica isn’t going to be fooled by all these big words – she knows Dawn is a Paralegal and that only takes 10 weeks of an online class anyone can take if they pay for it.
Judge Dawn goes into full-on superior mode and calls case number “I want to show the little people community there are more respectable professions to have” into session while Jessica doesn’t back down, letting her know how condescending she’s being. Dawn is busy talking about how it’s her business what any little people decide to do and how she has “high standards” for people because she wants to make sure that her future children don’t have to face stigma. Wow, that is a tall order. This is going nowhere fast and Jess should know that trying to make a point in Judge Dawn’s court of opinion won’t go anywhere. Dawn brings up that two people have died from dwarf-tossing and Jess contributes that problem by her chosen profession of wrestling. I’m pretty sure I can see a few mussels from the platter in front of Dawn getting up and trying to crawl away in embarrassment from this conversation. Jess missed the memo that Dawn is the “Jesus of Little People” and wants her to get off her step stool. SNORT! But then who is going to be morally superior to everyone on the show??
Jason discovers that while he’s been busy boo-loving with DJ, Lila has been dealing with much bigger issues – her Dad just died from lung disease. How long has Jason been boo-loving? How sad that he didn’t even see this was going on in his own friend/roommate’s life. He tries to comfort Lila and they decide to leave their argument in the past after Jason apologizes.
Katie decides to meet up with Little Women: LA’s Terra Jole, while she is still in town. Katie would like some support from a new mom. So the first thing Terra asks is how much weight Katie has gained in her pregnancy and then proceeds to talk about her own weight gain and how much she has to lose. I would imagine that Katie was looking for something with a little more depth. Terra asks about Katie’s boyfriend, PJ, and Katie lets her know that PJ is back in Seattle and they are on a break. Katie gets emotional about the idea of her daughter growing up without a dad. Terra consoles Katie and assures her that she has plenty of support in family and friends and everything else will fall into place. Ok, Terra, your work in NY is done, please go back to LA now.
Jazmin is saying goodbye to David as he leaves for Florida and neither are sure when he will come back. She drops by to see Jason and vent a little. Jason is surprised to hear that Jazmin’s husband is gone (do these people talk at all outside of the show?) and tries to relate because his brand new boyfriend lives in Connecticut, which is totally the same as a long-distance MARRIAGE that has been together for many years. Jazmin tells Jason about how it went down with Dawn’s lecture and denial of her request to take her in. Jason magically remembers that they have an empty third bedroom that Jazmin can stay in. Not sure why Jazmin didn’t think of this first. Jason can’t wait to go from Will and Grace to Three’s Company. They call Lila, she agrees that it’s a great idea, and finally, Jazmin’s living situation is solved.
Katie and Jess go to see a doctor so Jess can get an ultrasound and check in on her growing baby. The doctor does a sonogram and discovers that the baby has an extra finger on each hand. It runs on PJ’s side of the family but it’s a somewhat easy surgery to correct. Katie has bigger concerns in that she would love to continue working with this doctor but it will cost $3K and she doesn’t have that kind of money.
Jason, Jazmin, and Dawn decide to plan a nice little welcome home for Lila. Of course, Dawn uses this as another opportunity to impart the wisdom of always knowing what’s best and suggests they give Lila space to feel her feelings, which apparently means Dawn mauling Lila the second she walks in the door. The poor girl can barely disentangle from the suitcase handle! Jason expertly points out that Dawn has two sets of rules – one for herself and one for everyone else. The topic quickly turns to Jazmin moving in, and AGAIN, Dawn can show no mercy or understanding and claims she’s happy for Jazmin but thinks she should have taken a more independent route. As in, live on her own. So anyone who lives with a roommate, even when their husband temporarily moves away for work, is not independent in the Book of Dawn.
It’s time to blow off some steam and Jazmin wants to introduce Katie to the group. Jess comes but doesn’t want to see Dawn like the rest of the group. Dawn has a problem with the fact that Katie and Jess are friends (because she has a problem with everything) and is surprised Katie isn’t “keeping better company.” As Dawn peppers an uncomfortable Katie about what her plan is, the group tries to jump in but cannot be matched by Judge Dawn’s expertise on all things little people. She even goes to great length talking about how hard it is to raise a little person and is completely forgetting the key component that she has never raised one herself. The conversation immediately goes to another thing Judge Dawn doesn’t approve of: little people wrestling and entertainment. Jess is starting to lose her cool and Dawn wants to make sure Jazmin knows that she doesn’t think Jazmin understands exploitation. Well that didn’t take long.
The performing belly dancer (thankfully) breaks up the heated conversation and I’m surprised Dawn doesn’t think this is exploitation too. Not because it actually is, but because anything that isn’t paralegal work is exploitation in Dawn’s mind. Jazmin decides she has had enough and confronts Dawn about it privately. Jazmin makes an impressive point that Dawn always talks about how worried she is for Jazmin but when the time comes to help, Dawn won’t step up to the plate. She accuses Dawn of being an in-law rather than a family member. Dawn listens with a blank face and I can feel her high horse just desperately waiting to make an appearance. Lila interrupts and Judge Dawn disengages by making a quick exit on that high horse. Jason knows we haven’t heard the end of this and I think we can all agree he’s right.
