After years of bragging about all of the checks she’s earned on Real Housewives of Atlanta, NeNe Leakes has revealed a favorite of hers that is very off-brand from her public persona.
Apparently NeNe has a strong love for the Dollar Store, which a lot of people do, but no one expected the woman who constantly brags about being “very rich” to adore the Dollar Store so much. Then again, maybe shopping at the Dollar Store is part of why she has so much money saved up.
In an interview with InStyle, NeNe revealed, “When it comes to money, I’m actually a really big saver”- which makes perfect sense. Real Housewives of Atlanta can’t go on forever- although I sincerely hope it does.
NeNe shared, “I’m not into Target. I go to the Dollar Store. I love it there.”
She even has an idea for her next business venture. NeNe admitted, “I really wish I could open one up.”Not that NeNe cares about my opinion, but I one hundred percent support this idea.
Why does NeNe love the Dollar Store much? The Atlanta Housewife explained, “If you want some good-ass wine glasses, you go to the Dollar Store. Most wine glasses are very thin and break when you put them in the dishwasher. Well honey, the Dollar Store has got some thick ones, same with martini glasses. Whenever I have a party at my house, I go buy boxes of plain white plates there too.”
NeNe continued, “The sales person always looks at me and goes, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s NeNe Leakes at the Dollar Store!’ I’m like, don’t worry about me. You can have all of this expensive stuff at your party, but your guests will be eating off of Dollar Store plates and they don’t even know it.” Hopefully she doesn’t run into a certain wig-wearing blonde shopping for red plastic cups.

The Dance Moms viewers are well-aware that Abby Lee Miller has never been shy when it comes to sharing her complaints. Unfortunately it seems like her larger than life reputation might have played against her during her prison stint.
Abby insisted that there was something seriously wrong with her while she was behind the bars, but no one took her complaints seriously. Now that she is out of jail she has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
According to a report from RadarOnline, Abby wants to sue FCI Victorville for ignoring her complaints and denying her medical treatments.
Abby An “inside source” revealed, “She complained for months in prison about the pain.” Apparently, “the staff and teams there wouldn’t allow her medical treatment.” Apparently they accused her of “being a drama queen” who “just wanted to get out of prison.” Why wouldn’t they just have a doctor check her out at least once?
That same source shared, “She is devastated because she has just been released, and now this. She feels cursed.”

No, it's not 2011 again. It may be 2018, but the success of revived shows like American Idol and Jersey Shore Family Vacation prove that what's old really is new again. GTL FTW!...Just like most of the other Housewives, Ramona Singer loves a good vacation and tries to take one as often as she can. During the Real Housewives of New York cast trips, Ramona has become infamous for her vacation behavior. She always has a strong opinion about the location selected-she compared going to Miami to brushing her teeth Season 8 and claimed that she “only skis Aspen” before the Season 9 trip to Vermont. She always does the most to secure the best room in the mansion. She never unpacks her own clothes and somehow manages to persuade hotel employees to help her out.
The woman is an aggressive vacationer- at least among her Real Housewives of New York costars. It’s unclear if Ramona went on her latest trip to St. Lucia as a solo vacation (guaranteeing that she scores her top choice room) or if she went with a friend who wasn’t in any of her photos, but the New York Housewife shared plenty of photos from her vacation. I just want to know who helped her unpack her outfits and accessories.
Ramona continued to age backwards, as evidenced by the bikini photos she shared. The New York Housewife also enjoyed paddle boarding, boating on the water, and the St. Lucia sunsets.

At long last, ABC finally has a singing competition that's earned itself a second season. After a string of one-and-done competition reality shows graced its airwaves in a quest to...
Real Housewives of Atlanta cast members Porsha Williams and NeNe Leakes took their talents and high energy up north to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to participate in Philly Pride this past weekend.
Of course, they both documented the celebration with photos and videos on social media, but did they hang out with each other? Just based on the social media evidence, it looks like they did not, but it is also likely that they were just hosting different events for the occasion.
In addition to the photos that NeNe posted on Instagram, she also shared a video with the caption “PHILADELPHIA PRIDE! The house was packed, drinks were flowing and the music was poppin I’m honored for all the love I received!”

Like all good things, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt must come to an end. The Netflix comedy series starring Ellie Kemper, Tituss Burgess, Carol Kane and Jane Krakowski, which hails from...Carole Radziwill is scrambling for allies now that Bethenny Frankel has thrown her to the wolves. Or maybe it’s the other way around, because Bethenny has cozied up to to Sonja Morgan – who’s desperate (re: ostracized) enough to do her bidding, if you will. Essentially we’re four episodes in to this season of Real Housewives Of New York and the crazy clusterf–kery is already off the skids! Yay.
In her blog Carole breaks down Tinsley Mortimer‘s fall into a death trance upon sighting Scott, Bethenny’s two-faced antics, and why she finally decided to put her big girl panties on and invite Luann de Lesseps for a sobering tea.
First up, Carole has no sympathy for Sonja T. Morgan. “…Sonja doesn’t make sense in 140 characters or 140 paragraphs,” says Carole. “Sonja has been badmouthing Tinsley from the jump, she called Dorinda fat and was disrespectful of her late husband, she called Ramona a piece of sh–…Perhaps this is a source of some of Sonja’s pain. But is it really that confusing as to why she’s a leper and no one wants to sit near her at the lunch table?”
As Carole also learned, you can lead a Tinsley to Scott, but you can’t make her ‘keep it cute‘: And for the record, according to Carole, “Keep it cute” means:
1. Don’t fall to the floor when the boyfriend you haven’t seen in 2 months arrives at your door, Officer and a Gentleman style, to sweep you off to Chicago.
2. Don’t start to sob. Maintain cool composure.
3. Don’t put him on the spot by asking him if he’s now your boyfriend.
4. Don’t then smash dead flowers into the garbage. Definitely don’t tell him you saved the flowers because I brought them to cheer you up after your break-up.
5. Don’t call your crazy mom before wheels are up on the plane, and you’re safely en route to Chicago.
Tinsley did all of the above, but she and Scott still managed to “their relationship back on track.” As for Adam and Carole, “Well…let’s say we were never friends with benefits unless the benefit was monogamy.”
Thankfully, another relationship that got back on track was Carole’s ‘friendship-ish’ with Luann! Finally. Kinda? “This may appear like one of those contractually-obligated sit downs, the ‘fall out’ brunch where we discuss what was discussed at the last brunch. But it actually isn’t,” insists Carole. “I asked Luann if she’d come to tea because I wanted to make it nice. Honestly, our friendship is too superficial to be this complicated.”
But gain one friend, lose another! As is the sad case of Carolenny. Bethole? Whatever – they’re broken up, so it doesn’t matter. Anyway! “One friendship I didn’t think was superficial was mine with Bethenny. Although I recently read she said it sort of was…so my bad,” Carole admits. “I barely recognize the girl on TV making silly passive aggressive comments—one after another.
“So far this season it appears that Bethenny has decided I’m not such a great friend,” Carole laments. “She can’t reach me on my phone, I don’t reply to her texts in a timeframe she considers appropriate, I didn’t pony up charity money early enough to make her cut, and I’m generally not interested in what’s going on in her life. None of that is true. But why let the truth get in the way of a good storyline?”
“In real life we were both busy, but things seemed cool, or so I thought,” explains Carole. “Spoiler Alert: It takes me a few weeks to catch on to what she is saying about me—I’d say by the Berkshires I begin to see the whole picture. Fun times!!!” Carole also takes issue with Bethenny “worrying if I have the constitution for devastation” in her decision to invite Dorinda Medley to Puerto Rico.
As Carole reminds us she spent the early part of her career in journalism working in war-torn countries. “I thought her experience in Puerto Rico would have been something that brought us closer. We’d both now seen the aftermath of destruction—natural and man-made. But that didn’t happen. And I’m beginning to understand why. I guess it didn’t fit into her Carole and Tinsley are thick as thieves and all they care about are clothes and lashes storyline. Is anyone buying this crap? Stay tuned next week its gets better! Gotta run…getting a spray tan and a new set of lashes! ”

Our lovely recapper, Lauren, is temporarily unavailable, so I’ll be your pinch hitter this week for Southern Charm – or as it’s come to be known in some circles: Men In White Pants Behaving Badly. This season seems like it’s all about turning the tables on the good ole’ boys club, what with Naomie Olindo facing off with JD Madison, and Kathryn Dennis finally getting her very own #GirlSquad. While some of the “boys” are learning their lessons – or hiring their Uber driver as a life coach – others are shacking up with perpetually DEHYDRATED people like Ashley Jacobs.
We begin at Craig Conover’s home, where he’s calling up a life coach he found on the Google Machine. He’s ready to stop eating chicken fingers for breakfast (wtf was that on his counter!?) and get his newly coached arse in gear. Cameran Eubanks is getting ready for her baby girl by shopping with her mom – and accusing her of dropping her on her head when she was a baby. Um. Well, it all worked out in the end, so no worries.
Cameran hopes to be the same sort of strong mother she is grateful to have, despite any bumps along the way. Breaking news: Cameran has also become a germaphobe in her final months of pregnancy…which is interesting to no one. Yeah, I said it. Moving on!
At the bar, Shep Rose and Austen Kroll are staring into each other’s eyes, picturing their bleak futures. Naomi and Chelsea Meissner join them to hear all the dirt about boys night. But it’s Peyton – Shep’s ex, Austen’s (maybe) current, and Craig’s future fling – who becomes the main topic of conversation. Peyton is essentially the goddamned Slade Smiley of Southern Charm, and she’s wasting no time making the messy rounds.
Naomi is less than thrilled to hear that Craig may have a little crush on Peyton. After she demands to see a photo of this newest thirsty vixen, she just rolls her eyes and channels her inner PEG (Psycho Ex Girlfriend), mentally planning to slash tires and carve initials into seats. “I’m not crazy,” she says with totally dead eyes.
OMG! Below Deck Med is coming back soon. Squeeeee! Alright, back from commercial break…
Craig is in his happy place: The sewing shop. His new guru is apparently my 2nd grade teacher or her identical twin, who guides Craig in his search for new patterns, technique, and machinery. She is indeed the ambassador of Craig’s fabric “Quan.” Kathryn stops by to request special pillows for her kiddos, and to listen to Craig’s latest grievances. Naomie doesn’t think he follows through on anything, but he’s going to prove he can, doggone it! Kathryn believes in Craig and wants him to believe in himself. I want these two to get together. Are they not the PERFECT match? Why is this not happening, STAT? C’mon, universe. Get on this sh*t.
Austen goes home to have dinner with his family (who are just the cutest, right?) and to propose his newest venture. It’s called “I want to be an entrepreneur but have no idea how to do that.” Austen has dreams, yo! He doesn’t want to work for the man! He wants to drink beer, think about beer, and brew beer out of his garage! Does he have a plan? No. Recipes? Nope. A brewer? Nah. Austen’s mom is all, Get real, dude. She doesn’t want to hear anymore about this delusional crap until Austen has some big boy plans to back it up.
Back at Craig’s house, the camera crew are having a field day capturing the external filth that represents Craig’s internal turmoil. Even with a life coach coming over, Craig couldn’t be bothered to make the bed, sweep the floors, shove boxes out of the hallway, or throw dead mouse carcasses in the garbage. It’s called low expectations. Genius. Life Coach Lady shows up to ascertain what Craig’s damage is. Instead of looking around for 3 seconds and calling Craig an obvious hot mess, she proceeds to shower Craig with compliments. “You’re smart! You have great eye contact! You’re cute!” Um…is this broad looking for a new client or a second date? Doesn’t matter because Craig is thrilled to hear some positive affirmations after being criticized for so long. Whether he deserved that criticism doesn’t seem to cross his mind, however.
Out at dinner, Patricia Altshul, Whitney Smith, and Thomas Ravenel are discussing marriage. “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?” bawls Thomas, supreme dragon master of cliched misogynistic phrases. Whitney laughs heartily at T-Rav’s pathetic attempt at humor, while Pat keeps it moving. She wants to know more about this Ashley person. As in: Is she of good breeding and healthy uterus? Thomas says he likes her, but finds her “lacking in couth.” Funny, because I find Thomas lacking in faces I’d like to NOT punch. (That made sense in my head, I swear.)
But anyway, Ashley is a thirsty, trifling so-and-so who everyone knows is just here for the cameras and dolla bills. Even T-Rav knows this. But he likes a woman who doesn’t have any power or choices, so she’ll fit the bill for now. At least Patricia realizes that Thomas is in no position to demand perfection from a partner, considering he is pond scum imperfect himself.
After a quick moment of Chelsea and Austen golfing, we’re transported to the spa. Ahhhh. Cameran and Naomie are getting pedicures and talking about relationships. Naomie fills Cameran in on the Peyton situation, which is making the Craig situation even more stressful. She doesn’t want to be with Craig, but still has feelings for him. Even though she wants to be the “cool girl” about Craig moving on, she’s not. Especially because it involves Peyton. But Peyton will be at Shep’s upcoming Halloween party, so she’ll have to face her at least once. In an unfortunate wig.
Fast forward to the night of Shep’s party, and who do we have here dressed up as a sexy green unicorn? It’s Peyton! And she’s with Austen…for now. As Thomas shaves his eyebrows <dry heave> and Craig affixes his Long John Silver hat to his head, Naomi, Kathryn, and Chelsea are discussing their game plan. Naomie plans to confront Peyton. She cares not about being labeled a psychopath! She shall scream at people in unicorn makeup! Mad respect for that, I guess.
Even Kathryn has enough sense to talk Naomie off the psycho ledge, suggesting she not go CRAY within 4 minutes of getting to the party. Take your time girl. Take your tiiiiiiiime. Then Kathryn even maintains her cool after Thomas tells her he’s taking their children trick or treating WITH ASHLEY.
“You can come,” Thomas chuckle/slurs, donning a skull and crossbones bandana on his ridiculous head. Kathryn just rolls her eyes and manages not to throat punch the father of her child – an effort in restraint for which she deserves a trophy.
Naomie finally makes her way over to Craig. Dressed as Uma Thurman from Pulp Fiction, Naomie isn’t channeling her inner badass yet – she’s starting out soft. But as soon as Peyton comes on the scene, it’s straight past early Tarantino and right into Kill Bill territory. And of course, Peyton is Bill – she just doesn’t know it yet.
“So Peyton, why are you here?” snarks Naomie, who wonders what intentions Peyton has in Charleston, home of the world’s finest dog grooming establishments.
After being accused of dating Shep, Austen, and Craig, Peyton defends that she doesn’t even know who the eff Craig is! She met him for fifteen minutes one time. Naomie’s PEG mode is in full effect though, so she’s not hearing any of this. She pops off about Peyton being a “thirsty b*tch and everyone knows it!” adding that she knows what Peyton’s up to. Peyton is dumbfounded, not realizing that Craig (one of many random pirates at this gathering) expressed interest in her at some point.
After Peyton runs away in tears, Austen chases after her to calm her down. He doesn’t like to see a unicorn cry. He’s also shocked at Naomie’s viciousness, wondering just what Craig actually had to put up with for the past three years? (Is it three? It seems like three.) Back at the party, Naomie continues to call Peyton every name in the book while her friends silently back away from the crazy. She is out for blood. Dang!
Austen comes back to talk Naomie off the ledge, but quickly he realizes there’s no point. When Craig approaches the clusterf**k, he sees that Naomie is clearly losing her sh*t in public. Somehow, this soothes his weary soul. At least it’s not behind closed doors, for once. Although he admits he was maybe-kinda-sorta a bit interested in Peyton, it’s nothing serious. And Naomie doesn’t want him anyway, so what gives?! Naomie can barely keep her wig on at this point, the rage is rising out of her head with such venomous force. So she just shouts at Craig and walks away, leaving him there with his single earring to contemplate his next move.
TELL US: HAS NAOMIE DONE LOST HER MARBLES? IS PEYTON AN OPPORTUNIST? CAN CRAIG TURN EVERYTHING AROUND WITH A LIFE COACH? IS KATHRYN THE MOST MATURE PERSON ON THIS SHOW NOW? WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?

If anyone should welcome the arrival of Candiace Dillard to Real Housewives of Potomac, it’s Karen Huger. Now that Candiace is on the scene talking about the color of her fiancé Chris Bassett’s penis, the women have stopped gossiping about Karen’s man Ray Huger’s financial issues.
Candiace has been telling anyone who will listen that her white boyfriend has a “brown dick,” which is a very…. interesting move to make as the new girl in the cast.
Candiace met Gizelle Bryant during the last RHOP episode. As per usual, Gizelle did not warm up to the new girl in the group. Based on her Bravo blog post, Candiace is not Gizelle’s biggest fan. Candiace wrote, “Gizelle is cute! She reminds me of a character from Mean Girls. Like she tried to be one of The Plastics but was told they didn’t need any more applications, so she just did her own thang. She’s nice… but not warm. Cordial, but not exactly pleasant.”
Candiace recalled, “The first thing she said when Ashley [Darby] introduced us was ‘Yes, I’ve heard about you…’ What does that mean, girl? She’s spunky though, and has a dry sense of humor which I can get with.” So I guess she does (somewhat) like Gizelle?
Or maybe not, since Candiace shared, “Gizelle doesn’t quite strike me as someone who admires anything past her own reflection, so I wasn’t all the way surprised at her delivery.”
Gizelle wasn’t the only one to give Candiace an icy reception. She admitted, “I certainly wasn’t anticipating being hazed quite so soon. I didn’t sign up to cross the burning sands to nowhere — I want no parts of this sorority foolishness! The only place I’m fighting to get into is heaven, and this ain’t it, so I need them to chill!”
And then she discussed her man’s penis… again. Candiace wrote, “My poor Chris and his (awesome) brown d— though…it’s getting a lot of attention in this moment! As proud as I am of my man’s meat, I’m not walking around spreading brown penile awareness to perfect strangers. When I first started dating Chris, and my friends and family found out that he was white, surprisingly, the first questions they would ask (EVERY time) were, ‘What color is it? Is it pink? Does it look like raw chicken?’ I was floored! Where are y’all finding raw chicken penis? Let me know so I don’t go over there.”
Candiace continued, “I just started preempting my conversations (with my friends) about Chris with ‘yes, he’s white; no his d— isn’t pink. Next question.’ It became second nature, lol. So when I was sitting at the table at the sip with socialites event with my girl Ashley and Monique [Samuels], with whom I immediately felt comfortable, I gave the standard spiel. News travels fast in a group of girls (lol), so here I am at the picnic table ‘splaining my susband’s brown d— again. All in a day’s work!”
TELL US- WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT CANDIACE’S COMMENTS ABOUT HER MAN’S PENIS? IS CANDIACE A GOOD ADDITION TO REAL HOUSEWIVES OF POTOMAC? IS GIZELLE A MEAN GIRL?
