The Real Housewives Of New Jersey Taglines Have Been Revealed!

Even though Real Housewives of New Jersey doesn’t return until October 4, the taglines are finally here!

Unfortunately, Danielle Staub did not receive full time status so the fandom isn’t blessed with a tagline from the returning cast member.   Aside from the blatant absence of tagline from Danielle, the rest serve as a preview of what to expect from the rest of the ladies this season.

E! News shared the Season 8 tag lines for the five New Jersey Housewives.

After creating an iconic reality TV moment when she flipped that table, Teresa Giudice became known for her hot temper. That’s why it was surprising when she discovered a passion for yoga while she was serving her prison sentence. Fittingly enough, her tagline combines the fiery Teresa the viewers have watched over the years with her newfound zen: “If you’re not about the namaste, get the hell out of my way.” Very Dina Manzo Season 6 of her. Just as reminder, Dina’s tagline for her return was “I’m back to bring the zen. Namaste, bitches!”

Say what you want about Melissa Gorga, but no one can disagree that she is very persistent about her personal branding when it comes to her fashion boutique Envy by Melissa Gorga. So of course she managed to slip the word “envy” into her tagline: “The only life I envy is my own.” There’s only room for one clothing store on this show. Sorry, Posche.

Dolores Catania’s tagline is “Look loyalty up in the dictionary and you’ll find my face,” which immediately made me flash back to the moment in the Season 8 trailer when Teresa said “you should have fucking stood up for me” and Dolores screamed, “I did stand up for you? When is it enough?”

Siggy Flicker has always been very open about her cosmetic enhancements. She even filmed her first scene on the show post face lift, struggling to sip lobster bisque with a straw, so it’s only logical that her tag line is “My motto is: Know your worth. Leave the rest to your plastic surgeon.”

Then there’s the newest cast member Margaret Josephs  who has set herself up to market some pigtail-related message shirts with : “I bring the power, the pigtails, and the party.” After some somber seasons, New Jersey can definitely use some party- that’s for sure.

Kim Zolciak Says Kenya Moore Doesn’t Have A “Real” Husband

Kim Zolciak

Kim Zolciak

It felt so random and honestly contrived when Kim Zolciak and Kenya Moore started throwing shade and screaming at each other during Sheree Whitfield’s housewarming party last season on Real Housewives of Atlanta. I had no idea they knew each other, let alone had beef. They were only on one season of RHOA together and they barely interacted.

Kim didn’t even finish out the whole season. She stormed out from a group lunch and off of the show. Nevertheless, they are pushing this feud for a story line and no one can get over the moment in the Season 10 trailer where Kenya tells Kim, “Worry about pimping your daughter out, bitch!” Damn.

Kim spoke about that slam from Kenya in an interview with toofab. The trailer shows Kim going in on Kenya for her very sudden marriage and she asked, “Have you guys ever met her husband?” And that’s when Kenya went for the jugular by referencing Kim’s daughter Brielle Biermann. As expected, Kim went off on her.

Now Kim is saying, “She is not a good person.” And she warned, “Don’t mess with my man, my money, or my kids. At the end of the day, that’s it. You don’t do it, and she crossed that line.” It’s understandable that Kim feels that way, but she didn’t stop there. She had to throw some major shade in Kenya’s direction- obviously.

Kim said, “I don’t expect her to ever understand because she doesn’t have a real husband or children.” Not exactly the best thing to say if she wants to squash this feud, but obviously that’s not what she wants to do and she should just prepare herself for the next dig Kenya has for her.

Kim also said, “I haven’t really met anybody like Kenya, and I hope to never meet anybody like her ever again.” Then returning to Real Housewives of Atlanta wasn’t the best move. These shows are full of cast members who will stop at nothing to insult each other for screen time. Did Kenya cross the line? Yes, but that’s how this show works.

Big Brother Rumors: Victor Arroyo to Compete on MTV’s The Challenge

Big Brother 18’s America’s Favorite Houseguest Victor Arroyo has had a very eventful year. First he turned his flirtmance with Big Brother 18 winner Nicole Franzel into a real romance. Then he watched his form Big Brother bestie, Paul Abrahamian, lose Big Brother 19. He also appeared in Men’s Health magazine.

Big Brother-Victor Arroyo

Now it looks like Victor is rejoining the reality television world. A few weeks ago on his Instagram Live, Victor announced that he had a big announcement but couldn’t talk about it yet. Well Vevmo user PinkRose thinks she knows that secret: he will appear in the upcoming season of The Challenge.

This news comes as a shock because The Challenge usually only involves MTV stars. The show has former Real World, Road Rules, and Are You The One? former houseguests compete for prizes and glory. Last year, The Challenge had an athlete edition that involved former Challenge winners competing against professional athletes. Coming soon, the Challenge has a celebrity edition in the works with Challenge vets going against celebrities for bragging rights and money for charity.

Victor is rumored to be competing in a regular season of the series, which makes it even more weird that he’s the only non-MTV person. Reddit seems to believe that CBS worked out a deal with MTV, so that it would allow them to use MTV people in Celebrity Big Brother. This could mean our hopes for Celebrity Big Brother could come true. It could also mean more MTV people will appear on Celebrity Big Brother.

What do you think of Victor possibly appearing on The Challenge season 31?

No More Cancer Investigations For Meghan Edmonds

Meghan and Kelly make amends

Meghan and Kelly make amends

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Meghan Edmonds is hanging up her investigative hat and leaving the medical record digging to someone else for once. In this week’s episode reflection, Meghan touched on her desire for a drama-free season, her communication issues with Peggy Sulahian and more.

Don’t call Meghan shit stirrer, as she claims to be trying really hard to avoid drama at all costs. Pinky swear. “I’ve seen all of your tweets and comments over the last couple weeks and I know a lot of you think I’ve been trying to stir the pot, especially when it came to my fight with Kelly. But remember earlier in the season when I said I wasn’t looking for any drama and didn’t want to stir anything up? I meant it! And I think this week’s episode clearly shows that. I’m all for taking the high road to avoid drama and put an end to petty fights.”

Meghan blogs about her desire to maintain the peace with RHOC co-star Kelly Dodd. “I literally had no intention of ever hurting Kelly and I didn’t want to allow this fight to go on and turn into us continually hurting one another. It was time to put it behind us before it snowballed out of control. Surgery is much bigger than a petty fight and it puts things into perspective. Kelly was there for me after my surgery and I want to be there for her. At the end of the day that’s what really matters.”

Meghan is not a big fan of newbie Peggy and is irked over her constant dismissive attitude.”I think it’s almost comical that Peggy thought we were testing her and poking her at dinner…nobody’s poking you Peggy, we’re trying to communicate with you! Kelly joked about her going to UCLA, but it truly is confusing to me how it’s so difficult to have a conversation with someone who was an English major at UCLA. Then when I tried to help Peggy understand what Kelly was talking about, she was so quick to shut me down – why is she always so dismissive of me?!”

Don’t expect Meghan to pull out her sleuthing skills when it comes to Peggy Sulahian and the unclear cancer situation. She shared, “And yes, I am also still confused about Peggy’s breast cancer (are abnormal cells actually cancer?), but in the big picture, that doesn’t matter and all that matters is that she’s healthy. I’ve officially thrown in the towel on my P.I. days and I’m not touching this one!”

Flipping Out Recap: Oh My, Versailles

Flipping Out Recap: Oh My, Versailles

Jeff-Lewis-Hand-Up-Flipping-Out

Last night on Flipping Out, Jeff Lewis explains why hiring seven nannies does not make him insane, then flies down to Orlando to tour the palace of an actual insane person, Jackie Siegel. The Queen of Versailles hopes Jeff will design her 90,000 square foot monstrosity home that she and her hubby have been attempting to build for over a decade, but Jeff’s not so sure. Neither is David Siegel, who is not a big fan of Jeff’s humor – nor of his barrage of insults about the Siegal’s disgusting taste. (I’d like to pause here to personally invite Jeff to my home to insult literally everything I own. Because it would be 100% worth it to get a Jeff Lewis design out of the deal. By all means, insult away!!!)

But David Siegel’s ego is no small hurdle to overcome, and Jeff knows this. He and Gage Edward do not know a whole lot about babies, though, as has become starkly apparent these past weeks. At least baby Monroe has lived through the move to New Hollywood, so there’s that. She has not had a decent nanny stay for more than a hot minute, however. And Jeff has all kindsa excuses about why. Or maybe just one…

While Gage inspects video footage of Monroe from 3am the previous night, Jeff reflects on the three night nurses and four nannies they’ve gone through in five months. He is not liking producers call him out on this in his talking head, either. He’s like, “Before you make me out to be crazy, let me explain!” Then he proceeds to give exactly ONE excuse for ONE nanny who needed to go (she had a death in the family and Jeff did not like hearing her cry). So…what’s the story with the other 6?!?

Jeff-Lewis-Nanny-Question-Flipping-Out

No matter, for supernanny Gema has come to save the day! She’s kind, competent, and affectionate. So she’s hired – like, forever. And Monroe seems smitten with her. I, personally, am currently smitten with Monroe, who is possibly the cutest child on the planet. BONUS: She’s not screaming, people! For reals! She’s actually laughing and cooing in Gema’s arms, which means job security for this magical lady. “We found the perfect nanny,” says Jeff. Oh yeah, you did – especially because she’s hot for Gage to boot. Thus, Gage and Monroe are given the affection they both desperately crave. #TeamGema

Since New Hollywood is done, it’s time to get Old Hollywood up to speed. As in: not a pile of rubble and timber. Jeff loves living on the job site, but not IN the job site. He can micromanage via windows rather than holes in the office drywall. Although the plan is to move into Old Hollywood once it’s renovated, Jeff knows himself, and he’ll probably sell it before that move ever materializes.

Gage-Edward-Computer-Smiling-Flipping-Out

Back at the office, Jeff calls Lea Black up to discuss orders. He also arranges flights to see Jackie (Lea’s friend) in Orlando. Gage’s eyes register what is happening, and it’s a look that says, “Please, God, no.” But Jeff wants to meet the Siegals and tour their Versailles property before committing to the job. He even agrees to consult for free, troubling Gage, and probably heading nowhere in the end. The very pregnant Jenni Pulos will also head to FL with the gang, even though she’s about to get Zika virus on this crazy Versailles chick’s mosquito-infested island! Nope. Not good, Jenni. No bueno.

Jenni-Pulos-Jean-Jacket-Flipping-Out

Before their trip, Jeff and Gage take Monroe to her 5-month checkup. She is all smiles and peace and happy gurgles now, which is a welcome change from the baby-pterodactyl-being-poked-with-pitchforks phase. The daddies are in a better place now that Monroe isn’t terrorizing everyone with her wails, and they tentatively hope that they’re out of the woods. But leaving her behind when they travel to FL will be tough. Even Jeff has to tear himself away, despite his intense commitment to work. Zoila Chavez promises to hold down the fort while they’re gone, though, so between her and Gema, she’s in good hands.

Good thing Monroe is sleeping peacefully at home, because Jeff, Jenni, Gage, and Megan Weaver barely get the car parked in the airport ramp without a triple murder/suicide incident. Once in FL, they’ve calmed down a bit. Except for the fact that Jenni is more than a little freaked out about Zika, as well as the Siegel residence. No totally bizarre stuff going on here, folks! Just a few stuffed dogs, enormous political banners, disco balls perched tastefully next to Tang Dynasty vases. Sex rooms with curtained dancing stages and tables of gold-plated dildos. You know – the usual!

Before continuing with this recap, I would hereby like to request a 6-hour extended version of this tour, complete with alligator hunt footage. Because I could watch this Jackie Siegal house tour sh*t FOREVER. I think Bravo owes us this much.

Alas, we must leave Jackie’s current house of horrors to embark on a tour of Versailles itself, which looks like the Disney version of a trip to France…on acid and broken dreams. Jeff isn’t sure what to make of this incredibly enormous, half-done palace. Jackie’s tastes run along the lines of using real gemstones in the walls and hanging hideous chandeliers two feet apart for the entire length of the estate, whereas Jeff’s are more about ripping out the gold gaudiness, root and stem. Jackie’s like, “I want it to be gaudy!” No trace of irony is found in her tone, I kid you not. And I weirdly love watching this cuckoo woman fan the flames of her own delusions, even if that makes me part of the problem. #NoShame

Jackie should be ashamed of her bathrooms, though, which say “Welcome to Motel 6!” rather than “Bow down, lowly peasants, to our conspicuous consumption!” Jeff doesn’t plan to hold back on his assessment of these underwhelming bathrooms when he meets David later, but this turns out to be a risky decision. Especially because David chose the finishes for these bathrooms. Yikes!

Even Lea, who usually loves flash, gives everything here a thumbs down. All of the finishes must go – even the ones not installed yet. “This is a cross between Liberace and Versace,” says Lea. “You gotta go classy, not trashy.” Though Jackie’s eyes barely register a minimal level of understanding, she nods in agreement anyway. She’s out of her depth (and she lives in very shallow waters).

At dinner later, Lea gushes over Monroe’s baby pictures, then greets Jackie and David with hugs. Jeff gears up for the truth bombs he’s about to drop, wasting no time in getting to his assessment of the Siegel’s estate. After delivering the recap (it’s ugly, it’s dated, and it’s doomed to land at the top of the world’s greatest disasters), David scowls. “You’re wearing out your welcome,” he warns after Jeff compares his bathrooms to a Best Western.

Undaunted, Jeff pushes forward, knowing he’s only got one shot at making a real impression. He wants David and Jackie to build a masterpiece, not a cheesy Vegas replica. David seems to appreciate the honest advice, agreeing that he does need guidance in design choices. Although no deal is exactly struck yet, the Siegels seem eager to get more of this Jeff Lewis juju. Good meeting! Sort of.

On their way to Jackie’s warehouse the next day, Jeff and Gage find out that Monroe has finally slept through the night – woohoo! Oh, the bitter irony that she chose their first trip away to give everyone a full night’s rest. This is definitely Jeff’s biological child! Jackie shows the group around her airplane hanger sized storage unit, filled with “millions of dollars of antiques” and, oh, about forty thousand patio loungers. (WTF was up with that patio furniture, yo?!? We need answers.)

“Oh. My. God.” is the only appropriate response. And Jeff can barely contain his nearly physical angst over being plopped smack down in the middle of this psychotic clutter. Gage even sees the naked terror in Jeff’s eyes, knowing he’ll pay for this triggering episode later.

Ultimately, Jeff doesn’t want the Siegels to be jokes, but he doesn’t know if this project is beyond his capabilities. He’d love to help them out in theory, but in reality, these peeps are CRAY-CRAY. And this house ain’t never getting finished. So Jeff decides not to go down with the ship, rejecting the job in the end. Wacky Jackie is sad, but she’s probably got another dog to stuff back home so…she’ll be okay. Also, Jeff and the gang get to go to Sea World! And Jenni didn’t get Zika! And most importantly, we got to see a brief glimpse this lunatic property before it sinks into deeper ruin. Thus, the trip was worth it.

TELL US: WAS JEFF RIGHT TO REJECT THE SIEGAL JOB? WILL VERSAILLES EVER GET FINISHED? IS MONROE PAST HER COLICKY STAGE?
