Greetings! And happy birthday to my oldest child, who turned 8 yesterday. Holla! Did you know May 22 is the rarest birthday of them all? So I am told. In other news:
· Camille is back on RHOBH! Yay! They seem to have found some sort of happy medium between full H and FOH, called “limited capacity”, which she will be occupying. I just like to see what the best dressed housewife is wearing so this makes me happy.
· Tamara Tattles, who I stumbled upon strictly because she posts an awesome photo of a teapot bearing Lionel Richie’s image and the phrase “Is it TEA You’re Looking For?” on her blog (also “MR. TEA” pots and mugs – available on Etsy; look for LennyMud), is reporting that Taylor is going to be edited OUT of this season of RHOBH after putting on some sort of horrific show at Mr. Andy’s book party at SUR a week or so ago. Can we be so lucky?
· TT also reports that Sheree Whitfield’s big plan to make a whole lotta dough somehow involves pimping herself out to a company called Xooma for a 5 million pound weight loss challenge (because Ms. Whitfield is apparently a professional trainer and nutritional counselor, who knew?). Xooma is some sort of multi-level marketing racket that sells sea minerals. If this appeals to you please let us all know how it turns out.
· Aviva Drescher, one of the new Housewives of New York, shares that she joined the show to spread a positive message about amputees (she is missing part of one leg after a childhood accident) and dispel the “embarrassing” image of New Yorkers created by some of the past Housewives on the show. Seeing as some of the most embarrassing Housewives remain I am not sure how interacting with them is going to improve the situation, but we can’t fault Aviva for aiming high.
· This morning Star magazine is reporting that former RHONY Bethenny Frankel and her longsuffering husband Jason Hoppy are divorcing. I really don’t buy this from the Star (according to them Jennifer Aniston should have fifteen kids by now) but that’s what they are saying.
· And finally: taping of Real Housewives of Dallas has just gotten underway, and already crap about the cast is leaking out. The disgruntled former personal assistant of one “Deziree Ramirez” has sent a really skanky looking Maxim-type photo of her former boss to RealFauxHousewives along with a claim that Ms. Ramirez was having an affair with a married Hall of Fame football player. Texas Forever!
That’s all I’ve got for now. I’ve got 30+ kids coming to my house on Friday for a blowout last-day-of-school fracas (swimming, waterslide, tie-dyeing, excessive sugar consumption), so let’s get on with it so I can bake some cupcakes.
