What happens when society has collapsed, you're stuck as a cog in society's consumerism wheel, and you decide enough's enough? You turn to Janelle Monae, apparently. In this...Well if there’s any relationship that has come full circle it’s Bethenny Frankel and Luann de Lesseps. Bethenny blew up Luann’s life by outing Tom D’Agostino as a cheater, but in the wake of Luann’s drunken and disorderly arrest Bethenny is supporting her fellow Real Housewives Of New York star.
“We all have high points, low points, times we feel confident, times we feel less confident and so… ” Bethenny said in defense of Luann, who she’s “been texting” while Luann is in rehab. I’d say a failed hook-up in the wrong hotel room resulting in a mugshot is definitely a low point…
Bethenny reports that Luann is “taking care of herself. She said she’s in a good place, so you know like I said, we all have our flaws. Luann’s no different.”
The Real Housewives Of New York stars all came together for the launch of Bethenny’s new jean collection, and actually admitted to missing Luann. Even Bethenny, who admitted, “I’m sorry she’s not here.”
Bethenny emphasized that she has no plans to mock Luann’s situation or disclose further details either. Stating, “I don’t talk about anybody else’s stuff. I appreciate my privacy.”
Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley, and Sonja Morgan have also all been in contact with Luann, who announced her decision to check into treatment following a “Not Guilty” plea. According to reports the planned cast trip has been postponed while Luann seeks help and deals with her legal issues, but the cast may need to travel without Luann depending on how her court situation shakes out.
As for now the ladies reveal that Luann is focusing on her family and health, not on Housewives drama. “She’s doing the right thing,” Ramona emphasized to E! News. “She is taking care of herself for her children and for her family. Listen, it can happen to anyone. It happens to a lot of people just most people don’t get caught.”
Always focusing on the positive, Dorinda believes this is an opportunity for Luann to reevaluate her life after an “aha moment.” Maybe Dorinda should become an addictions counselor? “You know what they say, when something stops, something new begins. Every ending is a beginning. Luann’s a strong girl and I love her, I support her and I look forward to what’s going to happen going forward.”
“The great thing is it is a great opportunity to look backwards in four to five years and say, ‘Thank God that happened. Look who I am today if it was not for that,'” Dorinda adds.
Well best of luck to Lu in getting the help she needs. And ol’ girl needs it!

I guess Kieffer has graduated from the reefer! Jenelle Evans‘ notorious ex Kieffer Delp (who ironically was accused of being the secret father of Ensley) was just arrested for running a meth lab.
On Wednesday evening Kieffer was arrested near Pittsburgh, PA after authorities responded to a tip about a suspected meth lab in the basement apartment where Kieffer was living. There had been multiple complaints about the lab and police had been investigating for weeks before finally nabbing Kieffer!
Kieffer was charged with manufacturing and distribution of methamphetamine and improper disposal of chemicals. He is currently in custody because he was unable to make the $50,000 bail. I don’t know why he didn’t call Jenelle?
The smell emanating from the lab was so strong, police actually evacuated the entire building! Residents have since been allowed to return home after hazmat clean up.
According to the Pittsburgh-Gazette police were also aware of Kieffer’s connection with Teen Mom 2 before he was arrested. Which is hilarious.
Police believe Kieffer lived alone in the apartment and operated the lab on his own. Tons of chemicals and other components used to cook meth were also found at the scene. Dang – someone has NOT been watching enough Breaking Bad if they’re too stupid to operate a meth lab in an apartment building.
Obviously Kieffer has quite the rap sheet. Which we’ve covered extensively, but I don’t think he’ll be getting out of this one with a slap on the wrist!

All of those hot, mostly naked muscled guys dancing at bars around the world? They have feelings too. Yes, it's true. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is here with the gift of a song for all the go-go boys...Real Housewives of New Jersey cast members Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga appeared on Watch What Happens Live to address all of the RHONJ questions that the fandom needed answered.
What do they think about Siggy Flicker leaving the show? Did Teresa actually get an apologize from Joe Giudice when she visited him in prison? Why did it take so long for Teresa to visit him? What is going on with their restaurant closing less than a year after it opened.
After Teresa told Andy Cohen about how fun Margaret Josephs’ birthday party was, he couldn’t help asking her, “If the party was so fun, why did you leave with Siggy?” Teresa confessed, “I felt bad for Siggy. Listen, I’m good with everyone. I think Margaret’s great. I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to get my groove on, but I felt bad for Siggy so I wanted to leave.” If you look up loyalty in the dictionary, you’ll see Teresa’s face, not that dictionaries actually have photos, but the RHONJ fans get the tagline I’m referencing.
That episode was just so confusing. Teresa said she didn’t have the courage to demand an apology from Joe, but then she told her brother Joe Gorga and Melissa that he did say sorry. Andy asked her, “Did you or did you not get an apology from Joe when you visited him?” She confirmed, “I did.”
Andy asked, “Why did it take you eight months to see him?” Clearly it was a difficult question for her to answer. She was visibly nervous and stumbled on her words, but she did say, “I don’t know if it was eight months. My mom got sick, so I didn’t see him the whole time my mom was sick, those three months. The one day I was going to see him is when my dad got sick, so I had to turn around and go back. Then there was a chicken pox breakout in the prison so we weren’t allowed to go see him. Then they found contraband for other inmates, they locked down.” It sounds like there was a lot going on… but eight months is a long time.
Teresa told Andy, “I missed him, but I don’t really enjoy going there. Even when I was there, I was like ‘don’t come.'” Andy wondered if there were conjugal visits and Teresa told him, “No.”
On of the callers asked both ladies about their biggest regrets from the season. Melissa answered, “When Siggy embarrassed me like that at her party, I should have left. Why did I stay there and have a glass of wine and shop? Watching it back, I cannot believe the way she treated me in front of everybody and I am pissed I stayed.”
Teresa admitted, “I really don’t have a regret.” Melissa suggested a response for her sister-in-law: “Maybe just saying that injection thing?” Teresa caved and told her, “Yes, I do regret that, baby.”
Andy gave the fandom a bit of good news when he declared, “I love these two reunions. Oh my god.” Then again, I feel like he says that about pretty much every Bravo reunion before the episodes air. He did tease that Kim DePaola’s arrival, “really brings out the old Teresa, I’ve gotta tell you.” That is something I’m looking forward to. I can pass on pretty much anything else that they want to hash out for two hours of my life.
Teresa revealed that she had a chance to apologize to Danielle Staub’s other daughter Christine Staub. She said, We did it privately. It went well.”
One caller asked them both about their reaction to Siggy leaving the show and if either of them have spoken to her since. Teresa shared, “I mean I’m not surprised. I speak to her every day. She called me on Gia’s [Giudice] birthday which was Monday. She turned seventeen. She called me to wish Gia a happy birthday.”
Melissa chimed in with, “Yeah, I’m not surprised. I think Siggy was a great Housewife, but I think she got in her own way. She got herself more worked up than it was even worth a lot of the times. I think she’s great and I wish her luck. I think it’s too much for her. She can’t control it and she doesn’t like that.” She never answered the second part of the question, you know, the part about speaking to Siggy since she quit the show. Was that an innocent slip up or a graceful way to get out of answering?
A caller asked Teresa about that photo she posted with a divorce later that she originally captioned with “getting great advice.” This got very awkward. Teresa said, “It was my friend and she was there too” while she pointed at Melissa. Melissa stepped in as the second host of Watch What Happens Live and asked Teresa, “Did you write that caption or did she?” Teresa admitted, “I had help,” but she never said who wrote the caption.
Andy asked what we all wanted to know: “Were you getting advice about divorces?” Teresa attempted to explain the post: “No. I was helping her. Just in case if anyone is getting a divorce, she’s a great divorce attorney to call. Get it?” Melissa stepped in again and asked, “So you were publicizing her?” Teresa confirmed that. Once again, Andy spoke for all of us and he admitted, “No, I don’t understand at all.” He even told her, “You made it look like you were the one getting advice.” Teresa said, “Everybody makes it worse.” Well, yes, but BECAUSE OF YOUR CAPTION. Oh, Teresa.
Melissa came through for her sister-in-law again and asked her, “Bottom line you’re not getting a divorce?” As expected, Melissa said, “No.”
Andy tried to lighten up the mood with a game. He asked, “Who is Teresa’s least favorite Housewife?” Melissa guessed Caroline Manzo and Teresa declared, “See, she knows me.”
Andy said, “You told me at the reunion that Joe was catching up on old episodes of New Jersey Housewives and he wasn’t loving what he was seeing of himself.” Teresa shared, “He said sorry again. ‘I was such an ass.’ I’m like ‘You think? I’m glad you’re watching it now.’ Everything happens for a reason. Maybe that’s why he had to go away- to see what an ass he was being.” Sure, that’s why.
The confusion continued when a caller asked about the family restaurant closing down. Melissa said, “So we are moving to a new location. The Gorga’s that is right now, we just pulled the sign off the top yesterday. The line has been out the door honestly since we opened it to the point of we need new management. It’s not the food. The food is amazing and everyone is crazy over the food. We are relocating and making it bigger so we have closed down that location. Do not go to that location. It is not Gorga’s.”
Andy wondered, “Is it still open?” Melissa said, “You’re going to hear a lot more. I don’t want to have an issue where I say too much. Let’s just say that location is not ours and the line has been overwhelming to be honest. Keep watching.” That sounds super messy to me. It’s also pretty suspenseful. Don’t tell me to keep watching when the season finale just aired. I need more info. I cannot wait until Season 9.

Does a story count as “news” when we’ve already seen the same headline 983,526 times in the past? Apparently it does when the specific details differ slightly, but it’s not exactly shocking to hear NeNe Leakes is done with Kim Zolciak for what feels like the millionth time. Yes, I get it, there are some different circumstances coming into play this time, but it’s not “shocking” news anymore, or at least it’s not to me.
Plus, how can you be “done” with someone who is on the same show as you? Did they even film the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 10 reunion yet? Obviously, NeNe is going to be there and as a “Friend of the Housewives,” it’s safe to assume that Kim will show up to stand up for herself. Not only that, but Kim has not been shy about doing what she can for a paycheck, so if she’s asked to return to RHOA next season, she probably will. So is it actually possible for NeNe to remove Kim from her life? Nope, not if she still wants to be a Real Housewife.
In an interview with E! News, NeNe insisted, “No…there’s no possibility, none, it’s a never for me, OK?” At this point with all of their breakups and makeups, I find that hard to believe, but I guess we will see.
The constantly-proclaimed “rich bitch” added, “And people say to never say never, there’s nothing that I need to ever discuss with her, ever. It will never, ever, ever, work, ever. And I’ve been saying this to these people for a very long time.”
There’s nothing to discuss with her? They were feuding on social media over roaches with some racism accusations sprinkled in. It sounds like there is a lot to discuss.
NeNe theorized, “I really do think that Kim thinks that a feud with me is just gonna be great and it’s gonna be great news, but for me, I don’t want that. It could be great news for us to be great friends and they can be like, ‘Oh my Gosh, you guys are getting along this season, this is great news too.’ But I don’t think she sees it that way, I think she feels like she needs to battle with me.”
I wouldn’t be shocked by that. Kim knows exactly what she’s doing. After all, she has two reality TV shows on the same network

The Good Place, one of the best shows on television week in and week out, features an ensemble cast doing some of the best work of their careers--and that cast includes Kristen Bell and Ted...
John Cena, one of the busiest people in the entertainment industry, has added not one, not two, but three new Nickelodeon projects to his ever-growing portfolio of projects. Cena is...At this point in the season, watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills feels like Groundhog Day. The same thing happens every single episode: Dorit Kemsley acts like she wants to move forward, but in reality she is either talking about Lisa Rinna or looking for another excuse to mention her name. The viewers are ready for some new drama to occur instead of rehashing all of the nonsense from previous seasons.
The newest Housewife Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave doesn’t understand why Rinna’s name is always in Dorit’s mouth. Personally, I think it’s annoying and desperate to mention Rinna in every single scene. On the other hand, I’m impressed that Dorit has managed to talk shit about Rinna in all of the episodes this season in between showing off her glam squad, acting like she hasn’t seen her children in years every time they walk into the room, and trying to convince the audience that she can cook. That just sounds so tired to me.
And that’s exactly how I feel watching this show every Tuesday night: tired. Something actually needs to happen and it needs to go down as soon as possible. I’m not here for another season of Real Housewives of Boring Hills.
In a post on her Bravo blog, Teddi joked, “During lunch, we again talk about everybody’s favorite subject: horses.” I would be wasted if I took a sip of drink every time these women mentioned horses in an episode. I don’t watch the show for that. If I wanted to hear about horses, I would tune into Animal Planet.
Teddi continued, “Just kidding, it’s Lisa Rinna! I get the history here, but man, where is Idina Menzel when you need her. At this point I’m starting to get the niggling feeling that Dorit is never going to let it go.”
Thank you, Teddi. Dorit really does need to “let it go.” I’m all for her feuding with Lisa Rinna, but if she could just find something else to be mad about that would be great. I just need some new material to sustain me.
Teddi wrote, “I like her but damn if the smack talking doesn’t become exhausting. Apparently it’s boring that I’m okay with everybody at this point, but I think I’d rather be boring than talking just to hear myself talk.” If that’s the case, then she might be on the wrong show. These women love to hear themselves talk.
She teased, “In the end, am I foreshadowing when I declare that I’m sure one of these women will turn on me soon enough? I think I was kidding, but isn’t there always some truth to every joke.” Let’s hope so. We need something to liven up this season.
Dorit did her best to bring the excitement when she got shit faced at dinner, but instead I got vicarious embarrassment watching her pick on Camille Grammer in front of her man David C. Meyer.
Teddi wrote, “Camille is a brave one for bringing her boyfriend, David, to meet us all at once. He is very sweet—and patient as one can be when Dorit screams that Camille is a fucking c— (never thought I’d be typing those words). It’s a lot to digest when Dorit gets like this, and you can see me actually choke on my sea bass.”
It just made no sense. Did they cut out some pivotal moments in the editing room or was Dorit just shouting insults out of nowhere? Either way, it’s safe to assume that most people are on Camille’s side when it comes to this situation.
Teddi concluded with, “Until next week, I’ll be reading Rinnavation! You’re welcome, Edwin [Arroyave].” Seriously I bet the sales of that book have skyrocketed ever since Rinna’s own daughter said she “learned how to give head” by reading her mother’s book.

After a short season of Siggy Flicker unravelling, Teresa Giuidice namaste-ing, and Margaret Josephs pig-tailing, it’s the end of the road for The Real Housewives Of New Jersey. Despite the left turns and dead ends going on behind the scenes (and damn, is it a MESS!), the cast boldly pretends to finish out the season on a unified path. Well, except for Siggy and Margaret. And Danielle Staub and Dolores Catania. And Kim DePaola and…everyone else. Okay – never mind! All these b*tches still hate each other. But they did wear glittery eyeshadow and weird wigs!
Margaret and Marge Sr. are checking out the custom made dress commissioned for Margaret’s 50th birthday party. She’s forever 21 in her head, but in the dress, her boobage is still 49. As she yanks and tugs at her cleavage, Danielle saunters in to join the party. They all discuss Siggy’s rude behavior at the Gorga’s restaurant opening. Marge isn’t going to uninvite Siggy to her disco bash just because she acted crazy – I mean, everyone’s used to that sh*t by now, right?!
Speaking of crazy…Siggy is shopping for prom tuxes with JOSH-U-AAAAAA!!! She’s not looking forward to empty-nesting it, but is happy to hear Josh has made his decision to go to a college nearby. “I’m gonna be there every weekend!” cheers Siggy, to which Joshua mentally reminds himself to change his phone number and let the air out of mom’s tires in September.
Over at Teresa’s house, Nonno is cooking dinner while Tre meets with her book publisher. Joe and Melissa Gorga come over to set up a sweet little surprise birthday dinner for Teresa, even commissioning the girls to write cards. “Surprise! Have some sprinkle cookies!” they yell as Teresa walks through the door. She loves the girls’ cards, and they love hearing the news that they’ll be visiting their dad in prison soon. Teresa hasn’t visited him in 7-8 months, which even her brother side eyes. She’s angry, plain and simple. And she expects an apology from her husband, which makes me think maybe she’s never met her husband before.
Dolores, Frank Sr. and Frank Jr. go bowling. It’s about as fun as…bowling. Frank Sr. and Dolores have struck some kind of deal wherein they love being a couple, but don’t want to couple. Dolores is sick of everyone putting her relationship in a box. Frank Jr. wonders if his divorced parents will still be living together when he leaves for college? Magic 8 Ball reads: Outlook Good.
At Margaret’s house, she’s getting excited for her disco party. But before that can go down, interior decorator Joyce is coming over to talk renovation. Joe The Contractor, bless his heart, is even willing to consider black leopard couches and green velour EVERYWHERE to get Marge off his back. Plus, it’s her world (and Willy Wonka’s) – he’s just living in it.
Meanwhile, cue the depressing music for Teresa’s trip to Fort Dix Penitentiary. As she drives Audriana and Milania to prison, she thinks about whether things will be different when Joe comes home. Like him not living in America. The girls are naturally excited to see their father, but Tre is hoping for some straight talk about responsibility. Because responsibility is Teresa’a middle name, people! Oh lordy.
After the visit, Teresa admits she couldn’t face off with Joe. She choked up once she saw him, and all of her former courage went out the window. She drives home in silence thinking about her future.
As Melissa and Joe shop for home goods, they wonder if Teresa is going to walk away from her marriage if her Joe doesn’t apologize. “She sounds like she’s gonna walk,” says Melissa, who likely knows exactly where and when Tre plans to file those divorce papers.
When Teresa joins them at the store, she confesses that she couldn’t bring herself to confront Joe. But apparently she did ask him to say sorry – and HE COMPLIED!!! They cried and hugged it out afterward. Allegedly. Teresa, now in tears, seems like she’s slightly forgiving…but not convinced that things will be any different between them when he’s released. Keep your eyes on Page Six, guys! #WinterIsHere #TheNorthRemembers
As Siggy sends Joshua off to prom with Demi, his super cute girlfriend, Siggy does her best to tone it down so as not to frighten the poor girl off. It’s actually a sweet moment seeing these crazy kids take prom pics with the mamas tearing up in the background. Siggy – why couldn’t we have more of THIS from you? Where did it all go wrong, girl?!?
It’s the day of Margaret’s birthday bash and there are disco balls and horse statues galore. Because, why the hell not? As Dolores gets her hair did at home, she tries to call mystery man David, who doesn’t pick up. Again. She’s taking Frank Sr. to Marge’s party anyway because he’s actually real available. Mmmkay.
Over at Margaret’s Studio 54-meets-acid trip party, guests are assembling and Marge has successfully wrestled her girls into her gown. Everyone shows up and resists acting like animals, perhaps because there is a scary animal in the form of a giant horse-beast in their midst. In possibly the strangest moment ever, Margaret is hoisted atop the plywood horse to make her grand entrance – or exit? Or just a prance across the porch? Whatever the f**k is going on, it’s over quickly! Then Margaret joins her hubby to thank everyone for coming. She’s bummed about her stepkids not being there, but hopes it changes one day. Even Dolores is touched by Margaret’s speech, believing Marge has a heart after all.
But hearts almost stop when texts start pouring in from Camp Siggy – she’s in the hospital! No one is sure what the truth of this news is. Did Siggy give herself food poisoning to avoid the party? Did she throw herself down the steps, Dynasty style? Margaret is equal parts suspicious and concerned. She asks the ladies what the hell is happening? Dolores has the intel: Siggy fell and she can’t get up. She might even have a broken ankle.
Danielle doesn’t buy the story, which immediately pisses Dolores off. “You’re such a slob!” she barks at Danielle, pointing out that if Siggy didn’t want to come, she would have simply said so. As Siggy updates everyone via text from her hospital bed, Margaret wonders why she – the host – never received a single text? Well, probably because the two of you hate each other, ma’am! Melissa doesn’t think that Siggy is creating fake drama, but Joe thinks the Sigster is juuuuuuust about crazy enough to scam them all. “She always has a way out,” Melissa admits.
Cut to Siggy leaving the ER, where she’s been released with a sprained ankle and an “arm contusion.” She’s pissed at Danielle for saying she’s faking it (courtesy of Dolores sending word), so she plans to drive straight to Margaret’s house to defend herself. Jeesh. First this broad falls down 18 steps, now she’s going to voluntarily get Staub’ed? On a bum ankle?! Not a great plan for someone who wants to keep her extensions firmly woven into her head all night.
Siggy busts into the party to the surprise and delight of a few, and the shock and awe of most. Danielle is especially surprised to see Siggy, who Dolores has already tee’d up for a good ole’ fashioned throwdown right here in Marge’s garden. Melissa jokes that they thought she might have thrown herself down the steps rather than come, but Siggy surprisingly laughs it off. Margaret wonders why Siggy wouldn’t want to come to her party in the first place though? Didn’t they lay down their swords in Milan? At least for the sake of appearances?
No, apparently they did not. Siggy is not over it! Because – of course she isn’t. “I never said I want to be friends!” she snarks at Margaret. “I don’t want to be friends! I came here to be with Teresa and Melissa.” This is what a party guest says to the party host, people. The host who’s BIRTHDAY is being celebrated. Marge is sick of extending the olive branch to this crazy mo-fo, so she tells her to just leave if she doesn’t want to be there. Although Siggy tries to recruit and army to go with her, it’s only Dolores who marches out beside her.
But wait! As Teresa tries to talk Siggy off the ledge outside, she has a change of heart. She wants Siggy to know that her loyalty ultimately lies with her, so she leaves too. Inside, Margaret is like, “Are you f**king kidding me?” when she hears Tre has run off with the enemy. Thus, this is where we leave all the players before entering into the two-part RHONJ Reunion. Sources have been spilling ALL KINDSA TEA about the mess we’re about to see there. If they air it, that is.

The post The Real Housewives Of New Jersey Finale Recap: Prisons And Parties appeared first on Reality Tea.
Joe and Melissa Gorga‘s storyline for this season of Real Housewives Of New Jersey was the opening of their restaurant. Unfortunately before the season even ended, the restaurant closed! Well, kinda.
As with everything on RHONJ there are 13 sides to the story, and the truth is obscured at the bottom of a fake Chanel bag underneath leopard print, glitter, and salami. So of course that’s also the situation surrounding the sudden closure of Gorga’s Homemade Pasta & Pizza.
According to a source although the Gorgas (and one Giudice) are no longer part of ‘Gorga’s’ the restaurant remains open, in the same location, but is being run by Joe’s now ex-partners, who are still using the name Gorga’s.
Joe was reportedly scammed by these shady business partners, and was forced to pull poison out. He’s now working to re-commandeer is family name and reputation for a new Gorga’s. “Joe is furious. He feels duped,” says the source. “They never made good on their end of the deal so Joe was done … This isn’t a good look and people don’t understand why they didn’t give Joe the money he promised him.”
Per the insider, “Aside from anger, Joe isn’t worried — his name is not on the lease or legally tied to the restaurant. If they are in a pickle financially or otherwise, Joe isn’t tied to it. He just wants nothing to do with them or the restaurant after being burned.”
However a different insider reveals, “They are still using Joe’s name and likeness even though he’s no longer part of the restaurant.” That insider promises, “Things are going to get ugly.” In fact they already did! In true RHONJ fashion there was an incident when “someone came in to remove pictures and things relating to the Gorgas and there was an argument.”
In her version of events, Melissa is all positivity about the future of the family restaurant, although she does admit to a business deal gone wrong.
Melissa actually blames the closure on the business being TOO successful for the current location. This combined with shady managers (not partners), who possibly defrauded them, led to the temporary closure.
Without giving too many details because “it’s a major situation unfortunately,” Melissa revealed they were “overwhelmed with the amount of people,” because, “We had no idea it was going to be as busy as it is…” Well, you did put it on national TV…
Melissa goes on to confirm that their partners – partners beside sister-in-law Teresa Giudice – caused operational problems. “We were having issues with the management and the way they were running it,” Melissa claimed. “There were a couple shady things going on.”
And yes, Melissa assured People there is a future for the restaurant. “The food’s amazing, the concept’s amazing, we need to regroup and make it bigger and go down the street and do it solely on our own.”
Melissa and Joe always have some ridiculous excuses for why things flopped. Like Melissa’s drama with Envy last year when her former partner Jackie cleaned out the store in the middle of the night!
