Carole Radziwill Slams Jules Wainstein After Mean Girl Accusations
Aside from the beginning of this season with the continued fall out from Carole Radziwill dating Luann de Lesseps former chef Adam Kenworthy, Carole hasn’t had too much drama. The only thing that really came her way were accusations that she lived in Bethenny Frankel’s shadow and that the two of them are too cliquey. Jules Wainstein even said that Carole is a different person depending on whether or not she is around Bethenny.
Carole didn’t really pop off at the reunion, but she let her thoughts loose in a Twitter rant aimed against Jules and those mean girl accusations. Although I do think that Carole and Bethenny are clingy, I don’t think that means they are mean girls. It is only natural for two people in a large “friend” group to be closer than they are to the rest of them. It really seemed like Jules was reaching for a story line and now Carole has decided to thrown down.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
Carole is definitely the calm, cool, and collected one in the Real Housewives of New York cast, but she also seems like the smartest one. Or at the very least she has the most articulate and cutting insults which makes perfect sense to me since she is a writer.
Although Carole was pretty quiet during the three reunion episodes, she went in on Jules’s mean girl accusations on Twitter after they all aired. A viewer tweeted Carole with a reference from the movie Mean Girls: “Uhhh @CaroleRadziwill, you’re 100% a different person without Bethenny. I mean Gretchen was pretty nice without Regina too. #RHONY” and Carole actually quoted the remark and wrote, “Oh this is the most moronic thing people can say…I’m 100 on the show….not like some others who fake friendships.” I wonder who Carole is alluding to that has a fake friendship. Sure, I have some ideas, but I would love it if Carole got a little petty and dropped some names.
Another Twitter user wrote a tweet to support Carole: “Everyone’s so mad at @CaroleRadziwill for being a loyal friend like, can we let homegirl live? #RHONY” and once again Carole alluded to her fellow cast members only having alliances instead of genuine relationships since she quoted the fan and replied with, “Dumb women making dumb comments…they don’t understand friendship only alliances….” I have to assume that this is aimed at some combination of Jules, Luann, and Dorinda Medley-especially since they were sitting on the opposing couch during the reunion episodes.
Of course that tweet got many replies which Carole ended up addressing as well since yet another person accused her of changing once Bethenny returned to the show. Carole tried her best to shut that down by tweeting, “I haven’t changed I just can’t deal with emotional unstable women who lie abt everything-getting on my nerves :)”
As a viewer I was honestly a little bored with Carole this season. I like her as a person (not that I actually know her), but she really stayed out of the fray and avoided controversy. There was really nothing to pick at Carole for other than her allegiance to Bethenny. It makes me wonder if it was a genuine issue or if the ladies were just grasping for straws since Carole didn’t really do anything offensive the entire season. Carole seems to think it’s the latter since she tweeted, “Because the women have nothing else mean to say so they make up dumb shit” in response to another fan who defended her best friendship with Bethenny. Honestly though, there really was nothing else to call out Carole for- other than giving way too much screen time to her dog Baby, which isn’t exactly horrible.
A Carole and Bethenny supporter wrote, “@Bethenny @CaroleRadziwill are like The New Yorker trying to speak to the NY Post. It’s actually funny & sad. @Bravotv @BravoWWHL @andy” and Carole seemed to agree with the sentiment, but also took the opportunity to shade both her cast mates and certain media outlets further since she replied with, “So true…..Though I was thinking @NewYorker and Radaronline. #RHONYReunion.” Talk about killing two birds with one stone with that diss. So I’m sure that RadarOnline will come out with some unflattering “news” about Carole ASAP- just wait for it.
Since Jules was the one who brought the cliquey, mean girl story line to the reunion, it only makes sense for Carole to talk about her in the Twitter rant. One point that I found really odd while I was watching the show was when Dorinda said that Jules and Carole were from different generations because of their age difference. They are were both cast members so that puts them on pretty equal footing in my eyes.
A “fan” echoed Dorinda’s comments and Carole responded with a dig at Jules: “Sure I could have a kid at 16….what’s your point? I’m not jule’s mom, she’s not a child tho she acts like one.” I definitely don’t think that playing the age card was the way to go, Jules/Dorinda and neither does Carole.
When another fan insisted that Carole and Jules were a part of different generations, Carole got technical with this correction: “Actually we are…a generation is considered 20 years. We’re 17 years apart. Is it hard to admit u are wrong? #rhony.” I don’t really think that was necessary, but I get the point. It doesn’t make any sense to say that anyone in the cast was singled out because of generational differences. That just does not apply here- at all.

Bethenny Frankel Opens Up About Boyfriend Dennis Shields; Admits Divorce From Jason Hoppy Still Hard
Bethenny Frankel’s four-year divorce may be behind her, but controversy still follows her everywhere. In the wake of the Real Housewives of New York Reunion allegations that Bethenny was dating her current boyfriend Dennis Shields prior to his split with his wife, Bethenny has taken a step back from the housewives. But she is not taking a step back from romance, despite what others may think of her relationship!
Bethenny gushes about Shields, “He’s exceptionally brilliant and funny, and a very major family person.” Bethenny has known Shields as “a friend” for 27 years, and shares that her daughter Bryn met him when she was a baby. She says Bryn thinks “he’s very silly and fun and nice.”
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
In an interview with US Weekly, Bethenny explains that she’s dated a total of two people since her split with ex-husband Jason Hoppy. Since that time – and maybe because of it – she says that integrity and kindness are the primary character traits she now looks for in a partner. “It’s so simple, really. Integrity and kindness now are so much more important than I ever even realized, because I didn’t realize how many people don’t have it. I think I’ve been pretty sheltered in my emotional estimation of people. I think I’ve gotten pretty surprised.”
Bethenny and Hoppy’s four-year divorce from hell is something she still isn’t able to share details about, for legal reasons. Suffice to say: The divorce looked about as bad as it gets in terms of contentious parties, financial war, and parenting strife.
She shares that the most painful part of the divorce revolved around protecting her daughter, Bryn. “Anything that’s unnecessarily negative for my daughter is really challenging for me,” admits Bethenny. “You kind of just have to look inside and find your strength, and this has been no different. It’s just been way more personal. It’s hard. It’s definitely hard.”
As for now, Bethenny claims “I’m happy, but I’m most happy that I don’t have to depend on anyone else.”
And while she’s not publicly decrying marriage anymore, Bethenny says she’s got no plans to walk down the aisle anytime soon. “I really don’t know. I don’t feel ready for that right now. There’s no rush for anything.”
In a possible reference to costar Luann de Lesseps, who literally could not stop uttering the words I’M GETTING MARRIED! for one second this season, Bethenny asserts, “I’m not looking to have helicopters flying over my house in some big white poofy dress, showing everybody how ‘great’ my life is or anything like that.”
Indeed, Bethenny has even been hinting that she may not want to share any of her life on future seasons of RHONY, claiming she’s not sure if she’s coming back!
Post-reunion, Bethenny was feeling pretty bitter about her integrity being questioned. In August, she shared with ET that “You have 50 percent of the cast that has a whole taboo, police line, ‘do not cross’ section of their life that is not discussed on camera and never has been. For legal issues and liability issues, Bravo does not need to bring it up and it’s a difficult line to ride, and that may be why I don’t come back.”
“I finally just got to the place where everything is settled,” concludes Bethenny. “Why start to throw it up in the air again?”

Kelly Dodd Embarrassed To Call Meghan Edmonds A Friend After Her Reaction To Vicki Gunvalson’s Injuries
I have always thought that Meghan King Edmonds was way too nice to be on Real Housewives of Orange County, but I am starting to rethink that after I witnessed (what I perceived to be) a lack of compassion for Vicki Gunvalson in the hospital after the dune buggy accident in Glamis. Kelly Dodd (who came on the show as a friend of Meghan’s) is also very put off by her reaction.
When Kelly (who is no stranger to social scandals) is calling you out, then you know you messed up. But at least Meghan has a story line of her own this season! Maybe that’s not an actual bright side since she has been getting a lot of negative attention for this, but I’m just trying to look for something positive in this whole thing.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
As erratic as Kelly seems in the episodes, she really is very articulate in her Bravo blog entries. She knows how to assess a situation and throw shade with such precise expertise. Since she is besties with Vicki, it makes perfect sense that she was going to come for Meghan in her latest blog. Plus, Shannon Beador was in on this behavior and we all know that Kelly would never miss a chance to diss Shannon.
Kelly wrote, “The calls that we made to Meghan and later to Shannon were shocking to us. Wow, we were surprised how little empathy they had for Vicki. Heather [Dubrow] and I knew Vicki didn’t have a purse or a change of clothes. I was expecting them to go over there to see if she perhaps needed anything.” I mean, damn. They literally left Vicki without clothes. I did not think that it was possible to get most of the fans on Vicki’s side about anything, but Shannon and Meghan’s response to the dune buggy incident is disheartening.
As for Meghan saying she didn’t understand the gravity of the situation, Kelly isn’t buying it: “Meghan understood that we wanted her and/or Shannon to visit Vicki and be there in her time of need. They were close by. It would have been easy for them. While she professed later to not understand the severity of the accident, in my view anytime someone has to be life-flighted from an accident it tells you all you need to know.”
I actually agree with Kelly on this one. Meghan definitely made the wrong call as a human being. Aside from that, it makes her look bad since she was being filmed for a reality show.

Plus, I’m so confused since Meghan went to Vicki’s birthday party. I guess it was easier to go to a party than to disrupt a game of golf to go to the hospital?
Kelly thought that was weird as well since she wrote, “At the time we placed the first call to Meghan, to ask her to make the relatively short trip over to the hospital to support Vicki, I thought that Meghan and Vicki’s relationship was in a better place since she attended Vicki’s birthday party. They got along well there and left the party on good terms. So, why the reluctance to go see Vicki during her time of need?”
Kelly really hit Meghan with a major insult, then, “I hate to say it, but in that moment, I was embarrassed to call Meghan my friend based upon how she reacted to Vicki being injured in the crash.”
I’m so shocked that I’m Team Kelly for once.
Kelly brought up another good point when she discussed Meghan’s inconsistencies: “Then, and I don’t understand this…when Meghan meets with Heather at Surf and Sand, she seemingly reverts back to the stance she had prior to apologizing to Vicki. Huh? Meghan was shooting the messenger by saying that, in those first few calls from us, Heather was patronizing, animated and theatrical. I don’t understand why she felt she had to offend Heather before apologizing?”
I have no idea if Meghan was just caught in a messy situation she couldn’t get out of or if she was upping the dramatics to stay on the show, but it made her look so bad. I’ve always liked Meghan a lot (as a person, not a reality star), but her reaction to Vicki’s serious injuries was sad to see. I don’t blame her co-stars or the fans for looking at her differently after that.

Big Brother 18: America’s Favorite Houseguest – Who Will You Choose?
Who will you choose for Big Brother America’s Favorite houseguest for season 18? Do you think, like many fans seem to, that Victor Arroyo deserves the $25,000 for making a new record on the series by battling his way back onto the show twice? Or maybe you’re in the camp that feels veteran James Huling deserves the prize, especially since he seems possibly the most unlikely of the Final Three players to win Big Brother 18? We want to know who you want to win America’s Favorite Houseguest this season!
The voting is now open on CBS.com for fans to cast up to 20 votes per day for their favorite to win America’s Favorite Houseguest for Big Brother 18. You can vote for any of the 16 players from the season, all the way back even to dog walker and retired police officer Glenn Garcia if you so choose!
Of course, it’s far more likely that the houseguests who made it to the Final Five at least are going to be the favorites to win AFP. Victor Arroyo in particular seems to have a very strong follower base pushing people on social media to vote for him. Makes sense really. If Victor had made it to the Final Two, he would have been very hard to beat in the Jury vote!
While it seems like Victor, James, and Nicole Franzel are the most often named houseguests by people voting for America’s Favorite Player this season, we want to know who YOU think should win that sweet $25,000. Let us know who you are voting for to be AFP for Big Brother 18 in our poll below!

If we’ve learned anything from Vicki Gunvalson and Yolanda Hadid this past year, it’s that there is never a bad time for a selfie (or a snapshot to instantly be uploaded to social media). IV hanging out of your arm? No problem! <snap> Just rolled an ATV? No worries!! <smile> All dressed up for a filmed party which will air at a later date? Here’s a sneak peek! <snap>
Okay, obviously, the last example isn’t quite as extreme as the first two so very thirsty examples, but you get the idea. There’s never a shortage of pics of the reality stars to share.
About that aforementioned party, Kyle Richards threw Camille Grammer a Great Gatsby themed birthday party, which was filmed for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. A nearly unrecognizable Erika Girardi shared the pic above on Instagram.

Little Women: Atlanta Recap: Misfortune Teller
After yet another food fight on last week’s episode of Little Women: Atlanta, this time at a party for Bri Barlup’s three year old son (yes, you are reading this right), Bri is trying to recover with some much needed family time. Amanda Salinas and Monie Cashette (one of the offenders) show up to see how Bri is doing. Monie sort of dances around accepting some responsibility for what happened but takes the easy road out when she sees that Bri is more upset with Ms. Juicy for bringing the Other Twins, who had beef with Monie.
Andrea Salinas is home and recovering from her recent C-section and getting as much help as possible from her parents while they are in town. Her parents have to head back to Texas and bring up the subject of Andrea coming back to live with both of her kids when Aubrey is out of the hospital. Andrea isn’t ready to deal with that big of a decision, so just leaves it on the table and says goodbye to her parents and son, which she hates doing.
CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR MORE!
Ms. Juicy needs to have a serious talk with the Other Twins since she brought them into the group and all they have done is caused trouble. While Ms. Juicy outlines all their wrongdoings, the Other Twins don’t seem to have any remorse and admit that they might have agreed to come to the kid’s birthday party just to get back at Monie, instead of to make amends like they originally said. But faced with the prospect of not being invited to anything else, the Other Twins decide they will figure out a way to make it right with a dinner party and squeeze out some fake tears.
Monie and Juicy show up for their pre-scheduled date to attend a twerk class with Amanda and Bri. Not sure why any of these ladies need a class since they seem pretty skilled to me (as witnessed by the last two seasons of footage) but I guess we need Ms. Juicy and Bri to hash out their issues and this is the place to do it. Juicy gives a sincere apology to Bri but Bri is still skeptical of the dinner the Other Twins want to throw as an apology to the group. Bri thinks it’s a bad idea since food and drink will be involved and I’m with her on that one. Maybe the solution is a kid’s tea party where everything is plastic and only air is served.
Andrea invites Minnie Ross over to catch up and drop the bomb that her good-for-nothing baby daddy, Chris has packed up his stuff and left. Already, while their daughter is still in the hospital and just like last time with their son. Andrea is still with Chris because he’s a “good dad” when he wants to be which is almost never. Not sure her standards could get any lower but Minnie isn’t exactly the best person to talk to her about standards. Regardless, Minnie tries and it falls on deaf ears. Andrea only told Minnie what happened because she thought Minnie would feed into her delusions that Chris is still worth her time but she miscalculated – Minnie says he won’t change.
Ms. Juicy meets with her boss, Rickey Smiley, for lunch. Ricky might not know what sparkling water is, but he knows entertainment, so he’s happy to hear Juicy’s ideas about how to build her brand. Juicy wants to do a sex show and he thinks it’s a good idea. By the end of lunch, he’s had too much sparkling water and suggests calling the show “Squeeze the Juice with Ms. Juicy”.
Monie drags takes Morlin to meet with a wedding planner that Ms. Juicy has set her up with. Despite the fact that this guy has been featured on all kinds of TV and magazine for luxury brides, Monie quickly suggests bubbles. Morlin forgets that he’s sitting next to a fiancé in a blue wig and suggests she tone it down a bit. Uh, good luck with that. He tries to chime in about dinner options and when he offers up chicken wings as a possibility, it goes over like a fart in an elevator. Monie is appalled, as if chicken wings have no place at a wedding that also counts bubbles as décor. Monie plows on with her “sky’s the limit” budget, right up until the wedding planner mentions they are looking at is $75K (damn, that’s a lot bubbles). Morlin won’t be put on the spot in committing to that number and as he visibly sweats, tells Monie she is acting like a bridezilla. I don’t know what planet Monie is on, but $75K is pretty steep for a 100 person wedding. And last time I checked, she doesn’t work and they live in an apartment that looks like a temporary arrangement. Soooo……
Emily Fernandez is feeling lonely with her son’s health complications and video chats with Little Women: LA’s Terra Jole. Terra understands what it’s like to have a child with medical issues and seems to be very helpful to Emily emotionally. Emily reveals that baby JJ hasn’t made significant improvements since his tracheotomy and the doctors have told her he won’t have any real progress from here on out. The prognosis is bad but Emily doesn’t want to give up hope. Terra is able to give her the name of a specialist that really helped her and Emily is going to push ahead for the sake of her son. My heart goes out to her on this.
Ms. Juicy is about to record the demo for her new sex show and Monie and Bri show up to help out. Ms. Juicy gets introduce and did anyone else catch that the producer who introduced her is named Beyonce? Poor gal must never hear the end of that. Ms. Juicy starts fielding questions and the crowd jumps right in, asking all kinds of things that they haven’t bothered to Google. Juicy seems to enjoy the attention and nails all of her answers, like the true Queen of Sex Talk in the Basement of a Run Down Atlanta Comedy Club.
The ladies show up for dinner the Other Twins have set up, which just so happens to be on the old set of American Horror Story: Coven. The bad energy is set aside for a minute (and not a second more) when the Other Twins apologize to Bri, who sort of accepts it. The Other Twins then reveal the dinner is a psychic dinner party. Well, now I’ve heard it all. What’s the psychic going to do, predict what the next course is?
The ladies don’t seem down for this but Minnie agrees to hang around for the free booze. She’s about to regret that because the psychic reads her and I mean, reads her. She ends up telling Minnie that she has a disconnect with a child. More specifically, that Minnie wanted to believe she had a child but it wasn’t real. Minnie won’t hear any more of it and the psychic sees she did enough damage and thanks them for the honor of airing out all their dirty laundry.
The ladies immediately start griping about how fake it was and I have to admit, it looks like the Other Twins just gave the psychic the dirt on everyone’s lives and let her take it from there. But Juicy doesn’t see it that way and tells Minnie that the psychic called her out on not really having a miscarriage. Minnie storms out and let’s just say, I didn’t need a psychic to predict that.

Real Housewives Of New York Reunion Part 3 Recap: And The Gloves Are Back On!
Well this show has certainly come full circle this season, hasn’t it? We started this Real Housewives of New York reunion with Bethenny Frankel using her Botox jaw to rip the surgically tucked skin off these women, and we ended things with a hapless Bethenny Frankel sniffling while everyone sang kumbaya. I am perplexed.
The bulk of the episode, like the bulk of the reunion, and pretty much the majority of the season, centered around the scintillating personal life of Luann de Lesseps. What happens in Luann’s bedroom is a national attraction at this point. People don’t go to NYC to visit the Statue of Liberty any longer, they to study the newest de Lesseps donation – the Penthouse bedroom of the ex Mrs. Countess.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
But first we begin with the dramatic transformation of one Sonja Morgan. Reformed party girl with a penchant for the victory lap down frat row, has transformed into a dignified witty woman of a certain age. No one is complaining: not Andy, not the ladies, not the viewers – NOT even Bethenny!
Sonja insists that anyone who knows her – from Phuket to San Tropez – knows that every holiday season she gives up the intoxifiers for a colonic of homebrewed sobriety to cleanse her overwrought spirit. Booze is not the gift that keeps on giving – especially when its name is Tipsy Girl. Speaking of – Bethenny does semi-regret going off on Sonja over her fledgling alcohol line, like perhaps she was too harsh in her criticism but you know Bethenny was angry and when Bethenny gets angry portions of the Upper East Side come crumbling down!
While Ramona Singer is demurely batting her eyelashes at Sonja, praising her progress and coquettishly suggesting she had something to do with her friend’s TrueRenewal, Sonja is armed with a deadly tale of that one time Ramona signed a contract and primed HERSELF to be the elected Housewives representative of Tipsy Girl. Bethenny’s mouth is open, the poisonous snake that is her tongue is poised to strike, when Ramona insists she backed out of the deal because SHE recognize that Tipsy Girl and Skinnygirl were too similar. Then she gently closes Bethenny’s mouth with a snap, and smiles beatifically at Sonja, hoping her nervous trembles don’t show. Ramona’s excuse for even getting involved in the first place was that she was reeling from her divorce. Ramona would have never suffered from lapse of judgement otherwise!
Well, there is no Tipsy Girl without Sonja’s fury at Dorinda Medley for excluding her from the Berkshires overnight. Sonja gives Bethenny all kinds of passes to do as she will, yet is furious at Dorinda?! Seems a little disingenuously transferring, no?
Dorinda stands by her decision to not invite Sonja due to her then-fragile state and given what went on – Bethenny overdosing on bitchy pills – she feels justified. This is not acceptable to Sonja. She starts stomping out, because she can’t be around people who don’t care about her or care for her. Andy begs her to return, so Sonja flounces back to continue bickering with Dorinda about how Sonja defines the VERB that is friendship. I am so tired of these staged phony walk-offs. These headaches of narcissism aren’t going anywhere until Bravo hires a bulldozer to move them out!
And personally, Dorinda’s reason seems hollow, but it’s Dorinda’s house – if she wants to leave Sonja in NYC to wallow in her American Horror Story: Marriage & Divorce basement of denial, she’s allowed to. Dorinda should just be aware that next time Sonja is yachting with P. Diddy, she won’t be included… cause Sonja is really concerned about Dorinda’s drug use and all! And also because Bethenny doesn’t get along with people who are blonde. Or like sequins. Or date men whose names start with the letter “J”. Oh, and dry cleaning – she hates dry cleaning too!
On a nicer note, Sonja feels really embarrassed and foolish that she insulted the size of Luann’s yacht and called her diamond murky. She promises she sincerely is happy for “my friend Lu” and wants the best for them. Sonja hugs Luann who stonily accepts without really embracing her in return.
Since Bethenny has been silent for all of 15 seconds, Andy has to wake the beast with a probing question about her behavior in Miami. Dorinda is officially over Bethenny, and notes that she’s an angry, aggressive sycophant-demanding bitch, who makes her ‘friends’ feel badly about themselves and calls it ‘being honest’. Bethenny’s defense is that opinions are like assholes – everyone has one. “That’s an asshole opinion,” Dorinda retorts. ZIIIIING!
When it comes to Bethenny calling Dorinda the “village idiot,” she refuses to cop to it being a rude, dismissive comment only intended to insult. Instead uses some cobbled (botched) “LITERATURE” metaphor playing off The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Bethenny’s knowledge of which I’m pretty sure came from the Disney movie, just like her knowledge of relationships did. Of course Dorinda does herself no favors when she tries to describe why she’s not the village idiot by acting, well, really idiotic.
Dorinda’s not the village idiot anymore than Bethenny is the honesty police. Dorinda is a kind person who tries to give others the benefit of the doubt, which in Bethenny’s world is pretty much akin to being a drooling fool. (Do any of them realize the Village Idiot refers to someone who seems hapless, but is secretly the most aware?!).
And yes, Bethenny does “browbeat” her friends – and everyone else she comes into contact with, which is why I am relieved to have the safe and hygienic buffer of my TV between us. She may cut my tongue out with the broken edge of Skinnygirl bottle if I dare defy her commands and were Andy not playing roughshod referee I am sure Dorinda’s own tongue would have been at stake!
When Dorinda tries to defend herself, Bethenny calls her “defensive” and “angry”. Um… what?! Who wouldn’t be angry that their so-called friend is calling them an ‘idiot’ for not being privy to gossip no one told her?! When Andy points out that Bethenny is also angry, she’s incredulous and reflexively blames the other women, while sulking that her feelings were hurt too at this reunion.
Bethenny has failed the Turing Test. You can’t go around hurting everyone else’s feelings and not expect that people will get fed up. Isn’t Bethenny supposed to be smart, or something? Dorinda rightfully called her out on mistreating the other women with her name-calling, cruelty, and meanness – especially with regards to how she handled Jules and Luann’s very personal matters. Dorinda is the only one (including Lu!) who openly admits she doesn’t actually enjoy being Bethenny’s friend. Who would?! Look what Carole has become – a quaking sister wife – the second wife who fears First Wife’s dominance, and has to do all the laundry, mow the lawn, and cook on weekends.
Let’s just call this BS argument over semantics a draw, and move on to Jules Wainstein basically telling Carole Radziwill that she’s a really great person away from her master. Carole insists she’s always the same person in every situation.
Yeah, Carole – just admit it you spent all season not just living in Bethenny’s shadow, but sucking up to Bethenny’s shadow, and it overshadowed you! You snooze you loose (friends and respect that is!).
Finally it’s time to discuss the mad hatter of the season: Aka the Luann’s Very Un-Wedding that almost never was courtesy of an intrepid little sleuth named Bethenny.
When pressed about the text situation and hearing Luann explain that she was really hurt by the WAY Bethenny handled it, especially seeing her gossiping with the other women, and telling them like it was a joke, Bethenny stands up and announces she’s not doing this.
I don’t get it – she was bellowing about heat and kitchens and getting out if you can’t take it all season. And… Oh right, Bethenny is in denial that she’s a hypocrite. Furthermore, I am so tired of these phony ‘staged’ walk-offs. Especially coming from Bethenny. Sit your ass down. You spent the ENTIRE season judiciously reveling in your ‘no f–ks’ and your ‘I may be a bitch, but I’m an honest bitch’ but when you know your ass is gonna be held to the fire, you want to run scampering like a spineless jellyfish.
At least all the women seemed remarkably calmed down in their emotional responses – even Bethenny; perhaps realizing that Luann does love Tom and it isn’t just a made-for-TV romance (at least from Luann’s perspective.) As for Tom, well, he’s buffed three Housewives and counting. The dude is like taking Viagra for famewhoring.
Luann has a justifiable reason to be angry for how Bethenny handled the information. First by discussing it on TV multiple occasions without ever mentioning it to Luann first, and also sharing with Ramona, Carole and Sonja – three women who either don’t like Luann, or have a dog in the fight over the shadiness of Tom. Luann rightfully believes she should have been told first and questions Bethenny’s motives.
She also, sadly, has decided to forgive Tom since it was, in Luann’s mind, an honest slip-up. Clueless With The Countess! Or rather Luann loves flashing murky yellow diamonds at everyone with eyes and is willing to turn a blind eye or several.
Bethenny claims she asked Luann all those monogamy questions because she hoped – and actually believed, as they all did – that her relationship and engagement were a sham. Basically a storyline, it seems, and there was some sort of arrangement between Luann and Tom. This is sort of disgustingly illuminating. When Bethenny realized Luann actually DOES see this as a real relationship, Bethenny decided she had to have a guilt-induced meltdown because it was real to her now too? Because everything is about Bethenny. But did Bethenny then change her approach in treating the matter? Nope!
Luann is, again, forced to explain her ‘open marriage’ and she clarifies Alex wanted it, she never did, but once they were separated – fair game. Bethenny keeps shouting over Luann, “SO YOU WERE LEGALLY MARRIED. LEGALLY MARRIED.” No one pays her any mind except Carole, who tries to make some snippy question until even Ramona is like SHUT UP.
And no, Bethenny being legally separated BEFORE you start dating others, is not the same thing as what you did no matter how many ways you want to insist that your lily white ass is clean in the Dennis Shields marriage situation. Since Bethenny likes literature so much here’s a quote from Shakespeare, “The lady doth protests too much…” You reap what you sow.
Back to Luann and Tom – the wedding is still on! Luann swears that if any of the girls know something, they better tell her. There’s this odd moment where it seems like Ramona is about to reveal some salacious detail with Bethenny and Andy practically salivating, but Ramona just quietly and eerily comments that no, she hasn’t heard anything and points out how happy and glowing Luann is. It was a very strange moment – like the women finally realized Luann is a real person, not some mechanical bull they can just torture endlessly while expecting it to continue spinning round and round on the same axis trying to throw them off.
Tom is still “great friends’ with everyone he used to date… which probably means they’re his friends with benefits for the last decade. And ex 1 gets holiday weekends that start with Y. And ex two shares his bed, intermittently, when he’s on the lower east side or the upper. And sometimes in the Hamptons. And ex three shares his bed when he’s visiting The Regency, The Carlisle, or Miami – but they’re all invited to the wedding to sit at the same table with Ramona and Sonja. I hope they have one of those boxes where everyone shares stories about the bride or groom. Won’t that be fun!
Yeah, Luann may love Tom’s sense of humor and his energy, and all of that. And she does, creepily enough, seem genuinely happy and in love, which is really and honestly the problem. Listening to Luann wax rhapsodic about the virtues of Tom (who is seldom virtuous), I think even Bethenny realized she wasn’t the only legitimately crazy person on that stage. As Carole mentioned, love looks different for everyone. Luckily for Ramona and Sonja, Luann wishes they find all the happiness she has with Tom.
At least Bethenny finally acknowledges she shouldn’t care what Luann does in her personal life, and at the end she sort of half-heartedly apologizes for calling Luann “all those names.”
Finally the ladies go around the circle saying one thing they regret, and something nice about the other women. Even Bethenny and Luann tepidly end on a nice note about possibly forgiving each other. Even Carole admitted she should have just sat Luann down and hashed things out over Adam instead of playing this endless game of cat and mouse apology. Yes, senior year summer camp came to Real Housewives Of New York, and everyone ended with a friendship circle and a promise to all Keep In Touch!
TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THIS REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW YORK REUNION? DO YOU THINK LUANN AND BETHENNY CAN MOVE FORWARD? IS SONJA OVERREACTING TO DORINDA? WHO SHOULD STAY AND GO NEXT SEASON?

American Horror Story's Season 6 Trailer Teases More of the Horrors to Come From My Roanoke Nightmare
The nightmare continues. After months of speculation and fakeout trailers, American Horror Story finally returned for its sixth season on Wednesday night, revealing the theme (We think?!)...from E! Online (US) - TV News http://www.eonline.com/news/794749/american-horror-story-s-season-6-trailer-teases-more-of-the-horrors-to-come-from-my-roanoke-nightmare?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-tvnews&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_tvnews
Big Brother 18: Final Two Deals with the Triad
And then there were three…That’s right Big Brother fans, we are down to the final three houseguests (HG) of the Big Brother 18 season, but there is plenty of scheming, planning, and game play left to watch play out. Two veterans, James Huling and Nicole Franzel are still standing along with newcomer Paul Abrahamian all trying to out play one other for the grand prize of $500,000 and the Big Brother title.
The Live Big Brother Feeds from last evening (Tues. 9/13) showed the “soon to be” final three HGs making final two deals all over the place. Interestingly, none of these deals included Corey Brooks which indicates that the HGs were very aware that Corey would not be making the final three with the other HGs. Consequently, Paul, Nicole, and James didn’t bother to waste any of their time working out a deal with Corey who was apparently a ‘dead man walking’. Those thoughts are validated with Corey’s eviction this evening on the live show.
Paul and James were the first two HGs to be seen talking about a final two deal last evening. They both agreed that once Corey was evicted from the house, they would target Nicole together to insure she did not win the final Head of Household (HOH) competition. As a reminder, the final HOH winner holds the final power in the Big Brother game. The winner of that competition will decide which of the remaining two HGs they will take with them to the final two.
Not long after that conversation in the HOH room between Paul and James, Paul and Nicole have a very similar conversation in the HOH room once James has gone back downstairs. Paul reiterates to Nicole that he is just ‘pretending’ to be in a final two deal with James so that James doesn’t catch-on to his deal with Nicole. So, who is Paul really planning on making a final two deal with in the house, Nicole or James?
Paul has not been shy this season with sharing his opinion about his thought’s on James’ game play. For the last few weeks, Paul has shared with members of his own alliances that he does not respect James and doesn’t like his style of playing the Big Brother game. Paul even went as far as to tell Nicole last night that he doesn’t want to see James int he final two and won’t let the happen. In addition, Paul did a formal hand-shake agreement with Nicole for their final two deal that he did not do, or at least we did not see, with James. Does this indicate that he is just playing James like a fiddle? This is Big Brother and anything is possible.
To complicate matters a bit more, right before Corey was evicted from the Big Brother house, he and Nicole had the conversation about who Nicole should select as her final two if the games comes down to that scenario. Corey was adamant that she select James as her final two over Paul. Corey told Nicole that the selection to chose James over Paul for the final two is so obvious, and he is shocked when Nicole even briefly considers taking Paul over James.
So now, we have Paul making a final two deal with James. Paul is also making a final two deal with Nicole. In addition, Corey has told Nicole she would be a fool not to make James her final two deal. That’s every possible final two deal available to these HGs. I guess we can say, they are certainly covering all of their bases. Who is the best HG for each of them to take to the final two if they win the final HOH? Let’s hear what you think would be the best choice for each HG.
