Danielle Staub Brags About “Perfect” Friendship With Former Nemesis Teresa Giudice

Boy some things have changed on Real Housewives Of New Jersey! Once upon a time, Danielle Staub was Teresa Giudice‘s mortal enemy, and Teresa was BFF with Jacqueline Laurita. Now, Jacqueline is completely out of the picture, and the woman Teresa once labeled a “prostitution whore” has become her bestie.

“Everything aligned perfectly,” Danielle gushed of her decision to return to RHONJ after a lengthy absence. Danielle’s decision was impacted after she bonded with Teresa over yoga and realized there would be no more table flips or country club shake downs. I am sure it did not hurt that Teresa and Danielle were also able to bond over running Jacqueline off.

Of course learning to trust Teresa wasn’t easy. “We had a hard time. We had a long road back to each other,” Danielle admitted. “So it’s really amazing to have this side of her again in my life and the rest of the cast, too.”  A softer side of Danielle? No more home-made pornos or hookups in the bathroom? No more stripper-robics with Kim G?! Yes, please!

“We’re really good,” Danielle continued. “I just don’t think there’s going to be any problems between she and I. I don’t think that anyone would want to do that to us again.”

Danielle is also on good terms with Melissa Gorga. There’s long been rumors that when Melissa joined RHONJ in season 3 she enlisted Danielle to conspire against Teresa. Melissa has always denied it and Danielle has never presented any proof – apparently she doesn’t plan to. (For now.)

Well Danielle and Teresa getting along doesn’t mean RHONJ is drama-free. Far from it! Danielle bragged of “so much [drama] that you guys are going to be sitting at the edges of your seats.”

“Get the popcorn ready,” she joked to Us Weekly.

Apparently, Danielle will get into a mess with Dolores Catania over the Manzos, and there will be issues with Siggy Flicker as well. I guess we’ll find out soon right?!

Lydia McLaughlin Says Meghan Edmonds Needs To Take Responsibility For Her Part In The Drama With Kelly Dodd

Someone had to call Meghan Edmonds out on her hypocrisy and messiness on The Real Housewives Of Orange County. And this week, little rainbows-and-butterflies Lydia McLaughlin stepped right up to the plate! On their hike together, Lydia pointed out that Meghan is no innocent victim when it comes to her drama with Kelly Dodd – but Meghan sure doesn’t see it that way.

Lydia explains why she felt the need to speak up: “I want to start off by saying I really like Meghan. I enjoy her friendship and she is always sweet to me. When we went on the hike, I felt like she was going on and on about Kelly, yet she wasn’t taking any responsibility for her part. Meghan was the one that accused Kelly of an affair FIRST. Then, once they had made up, months later, Meghan goes and tells Vicki [Gunvalson] about the fight. Kelly definitely attacked Meghan, but I didn’t feel comfortable walking with Meghan without saying that she had a part in it as well.”

While some of us were appreciative of Lydia’s straight talk, Meghan was certainly not! Lydia says she was shocked at Meghan’s pathetic attempt to cry overreaction as well. “I feel like Meghan overreacted and didn’t let me explain myself, and when I even tell her I’m scared to tell her what I meant, she cuts me off and cusses at me saying she doesn’t give an F. Yikes.”

When it came to her feelings about drag queen bingo, Lydia has a little more explaining to do. Her constant “discomfort” is wearing mighty thin, to say the least.

RELATED: Tamra Judge Says Vicki Gunvalson Is “Addicted To Putting Others Down To Make Herself Feel Good”

She defends, “I want to be very clear that drag queens don’t make me feel uncomfortable. I went into the evening knowing it was a drag queen event and although I didn’t know what to expect, I happily agreed to go and was trying to support a new friend. Some of my closest friends, coworkers, and family members are part of the LGBT community and I love them to death. Quite frankly, I am frustrated I have to even qualify that. I was uncomfortable because I didn’t know I would be dressed up as a man, where no one else in the bar was dressed up. I didn’t like all the sexual jokes, the psychic readings, and then once the fighting began with the woman about their marriages, I was over it. I like to lift people up and have fun, and I wasn’t into the all the fighting.”

Maybe Lydia was just uncomfortable because she was dressed up as THE MOST ABSURD drag king to ever walk the planet? I don’t know if I’d be chill sitting there looking like a psychotic Charlie Chaplin marionette doll while everyone else is sporting mullets and pleather vests either…? Just a thought!

But Lydia claims total innocence when it comes to the absolute mess that went down at Vicki’s birthday party. She was nowhere near the conversation that busted out among ghosts of housewives past, Tamra Judge’s old “friend” Ricky, Vicki, and Kelly. She comments, “I had no idea they were all talking about Eddie and Tamra. Vicki told me she missed Tamra and that was all I knew. Watching Ricki say those accusations about Eddie is hard to watch. I love Eddie and Tamra and from my experiences with them, they are a solid couple. I don’t believe these rumors about Eddie and this is very hurtful. He is Tamra’s husband and an amazing man.”

Finally, Lyda defends herself for choosing Vicki’s party over Shannon Beador’s by explaining that the times changed and Shannon’s (earlier) party conflicted with her son’s. Then she brings her blog full circle back to Meghan by throwing in one final dig! Lydia snarks, “Notice how when Peggy [Sulahian] didn’t agree with me, I listened to her point of view and moved on because that’s what friends do. (Hint hint Meghan).”

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Invade NYC For Fashion Week – Photos

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, past and present, have invaded NYC over the last week to attend New York Fashion Week.

Lisa Rinna was there with model daughters Delilah and Amelia, both of whom walked in various runway shows. Camille Grammer, who I believe is finally returning as a full-time Housewife next season, was also there to promote her daughter Mason‘s runway appearance. Obviously, Yolanda Hadid, mother of Mastercleanse supermodels Gigi and Bella, flexed her new and improved health and brain functioning to promote her book and support her children.

It doesn’t appear Yolanda caught up with any of her old cast mates. But, alas, it doesn’t matter because, according to Yo, they don’t care about her health – and never did – and were only Hollywood friends. I wonder if this means Yo, without her Lymes, will be making a cameo this season?

'Big Brother' recap: Kevin Schlehuber evicted, leaving Paul Abrahamian, Christmas Abbott and Josh Martinez as jury members clash over Paul

Big Brother evicted Kevin Schlehuber from the house and determined Season 19's final three houseguests during Thursday night's live eviction broadcast on CBS.

from Reality TV World latest news stories http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/big-brother-recap-kevin-schlehuber-evicted-leaving-paul-abrahamian-christmas-abbott-and-josh-martinez-as-jury-members-clash-over-paul-22733.php

Peggy Sulahian Takes Kelly Dodd’s Side In Her Drama With Meghan Edmonds

Casting Peggy Sulahian for Real Housewives of Orange County seems like the most random choice. She didn’t know any of the women before joining the show and she doesn’t seem to have any grasp on what is going on between the women. It doesn’t make a lot of sense for her to be on this show.

Plus her “story line” for the last episode was going to the post office with her husband Diko Sulahian to mail an envelope for their daughter’s college applications. Why couldn’t she just put the envelope in her own mailbox at home? Isn’t her daughter applying online anyway? Is this really the best story line she could come up with?

Peggy shared her commentary on the last episode in her Bravo blog post. She said, “My heart was so happy seeing Vicki [Gunvalson] give Tamra [Judge] a call to meet up! There’s hope for their friendship! Even though Tamra had high hopes for their reunion, I felt Shannon [Beador] was discouraging Tamra to grab coffee.” Did she watch the same episode as the rest of us? Tamra did not have “high hopes” for meeting with Vicki. It just seemed like she agreed to meet with her for the sake of the show. She did not seem into the idea at all.

Peggy said, “I think Shannon should be supportive of the situation and guide Tamra to a better path with Vicki, rather than hold her back.”

Instead of commenting on the obviously orchestrated Eddie Judge bash session that took center stage at Vicki’s birthday, Peggy glossed over the biggest point of the episode and wrote, “Speaking of the two, Vicki’s birthday celebration was a blast. Her and Steve [Lodge] are great hosts, and the two make a beautiful pair. They are both such fun people, and it makes me happy seeing Vicki so happy.”

And then she touched on her “major” moment of the episode: her trek to the post office: “I love spending quality time with my hubby even if its just mailing envelopes at the post office. Having silly conversations with Diko is 100% real. I had no idea where I was going with the lipstick conversation? Or how the bear pooping in the woods tied in…this is our life, with or without cameras.”

The one point of the blog that is actually on point is Peggy’s commentary on the argument with Kelly Dodd that Meghan Edmonds continues to drag out. Peggy wrote, “The allegations started with Meghan, but she doesn’t see it that way considering Kelly also made accusations during Meghan’s pregnancy. It might just be too hard for her to balance an infant, and still maintain a social life. Although I understand where she’s coming from, I have to take Kelly’s side in this situation.” Exactly! Meghan is the one who started the conversation with affair allegations while she was pregnant. If she didn’t want to be stressed during the pregnancy, then maybe she should have said that. Plus the conversation happened months before the season started filming so it doesn’t even need to be a part of this season, yet Meghan continues to reference it.

Flipping Out Recap: Baby Brain

Jeff Lewis and Gage Edward are new parents, thus they are a little insane at the moment. And this week’s Flipping Out highlights how each father’s insanity manifests differently. For Gage, it’s all about micro-managing the baby, and for Jeff, it’s more about micro-managing his business – and his imaginary divorce from Gage. Yikes. Good times at Valley Vista!

Jeff doesn’t plan on being at Valley Vista much longer though, because he’s New Hollywood bound, come hell or high water damage. Since no one apparently predicted a baby would be uncomfortable living in a construction zone, everyone is scrambling to get the hell out of VV before little Monroe levels the place with her screams. But Jeff doesn’t see himself as the center of all of this chaos – no, no. He’s the glue that holds this family together! At least that’s what his pediatrician told him. Gage now wants to murder this pediatrician.

Monroe is five months old and is seriously the MOST ADORABLE little doll baby ever! But her cuteness only lasts for a nanosecond before we hear her piercing screams ripping through the house again. Poor baby has reflux and colic, so life has been no picnic lately for Jeff, Gage, the office staff – and even the animals.

Gage is still trying to find the balance between being Monroe’s main caretaker and Jeff’s right hand business man. Jeff knows Gage is caught between the roles, wondering what he’ll choose in the end – and what he’s willing to support. I’m just gonna go ahead and throw my two cents in here: Someone (Gage) needs extended paternity leave, or Jeff Lewis Design needs to move to a non-home office location. Of course Gage reacts when his daughter screams! He’s the primary caretaker. It’s just too much.

In the car later, Jeff admits to Jenni Pulos that this baby stuff is exhausting. Jenni is not surprised that Monroe is a difficult baby who’s loud and throws tantrums “just like her father.” She’s enjoying every minute of it, in fact. On the way to see Lea Black to consult on her new Franklin property, Jeff and Jenni stop off to shop for some New Hollywood furniture. Jeff wants to go clean and modern, but not cold. Gray will, of course, abound.

At New Hollywood, Gage meets up with them to half listen to renovation plans while he checks the baby monitor on his iPhone. Since Jeff now owns two properties side by side, he jokes that it’ll be perfect when he and Gage get divorced! They can co-parent in adjoining homes. Gage guffaws a little too heartily at this prospect.

Back home, Jeff shows Megan Weaver the plans for his New Hollywood office. It includes actual desks with individual drawers! Except we all know Jenni will still sit in the naughty student chair right smack next to Jeff, so she can dream on about that desk and drawer of her own. She can also keep hoping Gage will stop “Shhhhhhhhhhhh!”-ing her because he’s all about that move right now. He’s also obsessed with the baby, and is only partially present when Jeff asks him business related questions. This does not make Jeff a happy boy.

On other unhappy fronts, Chaz Dean’s endless bungalow project has new setbacks after water damage and fire destroyed a sh*t ton of the property. Instead of blaming Chaz’s bad juju for the disaster, Jeff offers his sympathy, but can hardly stomach the thought of doing YEARS of work all over again. Building the same damn thing twice in a row is demoralizing, to say the least. Also, demoralizing is the penny fountain Chaz wants Jeff to make for good karma – a fountain literally made of pennies in “only good years.” Chaz is insane, and Jeff knows this. But for some reason he likes The Chaz, so The Chaz will get his crazy a$$ fountain.

As Jeff, Megan, Jenni, and Gage check out their new office digs at Hollywood, Jeff takes a moment to scold the painters for nearly killing themselves on a 3-story ladder. Where’s the scaffolding?! Not cool, dudes. Jeff does not have the time nor the inclination to be sued at this juncture. He also thinks Gage isn’t paying enough attention to the contractors or the project itself, and that’s why all hell is breaking loose. Gage thinks Jeff is an a$$hole. And if Jeff thinks he’s such a terrible employee, Gage sighs, “then replace me.”

At Lea Black’s new house, Jenni and Megan are regaled with stories of Lea giving her poodle mouth to mouth resuscitation. Megan looks for the exit from crazy town, while Jenni just smiles her “I’m used to psychos!” smile. Jeff loves Lea, though, and wants to keep her and her precious dog happy because she has oodles of money and referrals at her fingertips. Outside, Jeff continues to berate Gage, who is totally over Jeff’s tantrum and not about to proffer the apology Jeff expects. More to come on that later.

Luckily, Jeff is distracted by Lea’s nonstop chatter in the car on the way to shop, so his bad mood will need to be put on pause. Shopping with Lea makes everything better! Even though she’s all about the Miami glitz and glamour, while Jeff is more into minimalist decor. What Lea is good at is spending money, so that works for everyone.

And when Jenni, Megan, and Jeff move it all into Lea’s fab home, it ends up looking very hip, very posh, yet still classic. Lea is thrilled, and Jeff is certain that there will be more business to follow. He also likes the fact that he can spy on Gage in the Hollywood properties just down below. Better to harass him from near and far!

In the car later, Jeff gets a text from Gage that I’ve sent to my own husband at least five times a day when I was home with a baby: “Dog downstairs barking, baby won’t sleep. Wtf?” Jeff somehow thinks this is abnormal behavior. Um, earth to Jeff: THIS IS EVERY MOM’S SOS TEXT. (Can I get a witness?) And it will pass, as every stage of child-rearing does. It’s tough when you’re new at it though, and Jeff and Gage will just have to duke it out in this sh*t-tastic arena for a while longer until they’ll emerge into the light. But Jeff is in a very dark place currently, actually ruminating on having to be a single parent at some point.

Jenni tells him to cut out the jokes about this! But Jeff’s only half joking. He doesn’t like this new arrangement, and his control issues are raging. The divorce he’s planning in his head, for instance, is going really well! He hopes Gage’s imaginary divorce is going the same.

Back at Valley Vista, Gage loads up the car for a trip to Hollywood. They’re moving in! But when Monroe screams from inside, he looks like he can barely pull out of the driveway. It’s the push-pull of work versus parenting that never ends. But Jeff more easily compartmentalizes it all, focusing intently on getting the new house and office perfect. He does have enough time to poke Gage into a fight, which Gage finally responds to by poking back. Instead of devolving into an all-out brawl in front of the movers, they keep the war cold…for now. Jenni senses a blow up later. And even Gage admits in his confessional that he would “love to leave right now” if he could. Leave his life, that is.

With those warm and fuzzy sentiments in mind, it’s time to celebrate Valentine’s Day! After Jeff deadpans “Happy Valentine’s Day” to the love of his life, he and Gage bicker over why the dog’s barking. Which transfers to bickering over their relationship. At the end of his rope, Gage finally just walks away, pondering fifty ways to leave his lover.

At therapy later, Jeff ponders this also. He’s at a breaking point, admitting that he’s nearly ready to call the lawyers and draw up separation papers. “I can see why people stay together for the kids,” he admits, but he doesn’t want to be one of those people. Although he understands that this is a tough time, Jeff thinks Gage is depressed and unappreciative of his contribution to the relationship. He also thinks Gage is fence-sitting on the work vs. parent role and just needs to pick one. He’d let him stay home if that’s what Gage wants, but Gage claims he still wants to work. “If this gets worse and I don’t want to do this anymore, what does that look like?” wonders Jeff.

But in the end, Jeff doesn’t really want to break up his family. He just feels lonely in this new threesome they’ve built, and wonders how he ultimately fits into the strange scheme. He also wants to feel close to Gage again, who’s been more of an irritating roommate (in Jeff’s eyes) than a partner in love and parenting. Finally admitting that he is part of the problem, Jeff vows to make more of an effort to heal their relationship. So he buys Gage flowers on the way home and confesses all of his feelings over dinner that night. Although it might have felt a little like explosive diarrhea, Jeff is glad he let his emotions out. And Gage is too, despite the mess.

TELL US: CAN YOU RELATE TO WHAT GAGE AND JEFF ARE GOING THROUGH? WILL THIS TOUGH TIME PASS, OR IS THEIR RELATIONSHIP NOT BUILT TO LAST?

Big Brother 19 Spoilers: Live Feeds Day 76 Highlights: Kevin Instructs Paul on How to Win the Game

Yesterday in the Big Brother 19 house was all about Kevin Schlehuber preparing for his fate. Up until his eviction, he still seemed unsure of how it would ultimately play out for him. He told Paul Abrahamian, or at least pretended to believe, that he thought Josh Martinez would leave the game yesterday night. Kevin believed he had a final three deal with Paul and Christmas Abbott. This proved to be just another Big Brother lie.

The feeds were down for a good chunk of the day. Even after the live broadcast, Big Brother 19 Live Feeds didn’t return until 5 hours later (way into midnight BBT). This means that we don’t have much to report, but you probably already know that not much will happen these last five days of feeds.

Kevin gamed a little by asking Paul about Christmas’s vote. Paul reassured him not to worry about it too much, and he told him that Kevin was fine with Christmas.

Kevin and Paul had a conversation about what Paul should do if Kevin leaves the game. Like Alex Ow, Kevin told Paul to bring Josh to the end because he would not have any votes. Kevin even listed off all the people who thought would vote for Paul over Josh in the final two.

He confirmed Paul’s fears by saying that Christmas might get the sympathy votes in the end and win the game. She needed to leave the house next. Later, Paul told Josh that they need to study to ensure that Christmas doesn’t beat them in any part of the final Head of Household competition.

Big Brother 19-914/17-Recap: Final Three Revealed

With less than a week to go inside the Big Brother 19 house, the second eviction of the week is in the record books, and the final three houseguests have been decided. Paul Abrahamian secured his final three spot earlier in the week when he won the Head of Household competition. Now that his spot is secure, the last two Big Brother finale spots are between Kevin Schlehuber, Christmas Abbott, and Josh Martinez. Who will join Paul in the final three?

We pick up with Paul making his nominations for the week: Josh and Kevin. Paul explained to Josh, over a game of chess, the reason he chose Josh for the block alongside Kevin.  He said this way Josh would not have to get any blood on his hands with being the sole vote in the eviction.

Being that there are only four houseguests remaining, this week’s eviction we will be left to the person that is NOT the current HOH (Paul) or the two nominees (Kevin and Josh). That leaves Christmas.  Behind closed doors, Paul and Christmas reveal they planned the vote this way so that they have complete control of the vote. They did not want to leave Josh in charge of making sure things went as planned.

Next, we are granted a peek inside the jury house, and what a fun peek inside that was!  The highlight of the jury house check-in was Raven Walton telling all of the other jury members that she and Matt were Paul’s closest allies. She went on to say that she was actually puppet master (not Paul), and she was calling all of the shots inside the Big Brother house. Elena Davies could barely contain herself: she  did not hold back her laughter…at all. Who knew Raven was really the one controlling all of the houseguests this season? At least I’m glad we finally know the truth.

The Veto competition is titled “Back to the Veto.” This comp has a steam punk feel with a time machine designed set. Each player was given a description of a certain event that occurred during the season. The player must set their dials to the appropriate day that event occurred the fastest. Once a player has finished last in three rounds, they are eliminated from the competition.

As to no surprise, Kevin was the first player eliminated from this competition. The other three Big Brother 19 houseguests were ecstatic knowing that their final three plans had come to fruition.  This left Christmas, Paul, and Josh to battle it out for the Power of Veto crown. Christmas was eliminated next followed by Josh. Paul won POV again. This was his fourth POV win in the same week of winning an HOH, a Big Brother record.

Although Paul had promised Kevin that he would be taking him to the final three, Paul did not use the POV to take Josh or Kevin off the block. With the final nominations remaining the same, Christmas would cast the sole vote to evict this week’s houseguest from the Big Brother 19 game. According to plan, Christmas voted to evict Kevin.

During Kevin’s exit interview with Julie Chen, Kevin shared that he had no hard feelings for Paul. He understood this was part of the game. Interestingly, Paul lied during his goodbye message and claimed Christmas went rogue if he was seeing this message.  However, Josh spilled the beans and shared that Kevin was the target all along.

The final three houseguests in Big Brother 19 are:

Paul Abrahamian

Christmas Abbott

Josh Martinez

Tune in tonight for a trip down memory lane reviewing all of this season and hopefully a sneak peek at the first of the three Big Brother 19 final HOH comps.

We can’t say it’s been a bumpy ride, because they have all only been in danger against Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson.

But they have hard to overcome vet status, a broken foot, and a heap of emotions. Despite what others may say, these three deserve to be in the finals. And it will be interesting to see how it ultimately plays out, and which two end up in the final two chairs.

Before we can get there, these three have to play in a 3-part Head of Household competition. The first part plays out tonight, the second over the weekend, and the final on the live Big Brother 2017 finale. Each player has their own agenda.

Christmas doesn’t want to have to pick between ‘her boys,’ so she would rather they take each other, or pick her on their own. Paul wants to take Josh because he believes he can win against him without much opposition. Josh wants to take Christmas because he knows he can beat her.

So who won the first part of the final Big Brother 19 Head of Household competition?

MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION
