Hey y’all! We made it! Before we get to the recrap, a little bit of housekeeping. If you are interested in my take on other fine reality television programming, hop on over to my blog at thislittlemama.com. I’m posting about RHONY right now, and open to requests for other shows you want to hear about (Project Runway? Top Chef?). And of course talking about lots of other mama stuff. Also, I have been hearing from a lot of people that they can’t register to comment here on the RS site – I too have never been able to register here which is why I don’t comment either! Feel free to leave comments on my site or on This Little Mama’s Facebook or Twitter pages and I promise to respond.
And now, the news:
* It’s safe to come out from behind your couch, because Bravo has issued a statement to People magazine that Jill ZAAAAAAARIN will never be returning to RHONY. Never, ever, ever, no matter how much she hints that it could happen if her four fans whine loud enough. Can I get an AMEN?
* Rudy Huxtable continues to insist she is not joining the cast of RHOA for next season. Straight from the A continues to report that she is filming, so only time will tell.
* Meanwhile, RealityTea.com came upon a casting call “from the producers of RHOC and RHOBH” for what sounds suspiciously like a Real Housewives of Nashville. Since Kandi Burruss is now becoming a country singer this seems like a very natural next franchise step to me. You know who I think should be on it? Wynonna Judd. How train wreck would that be?
* RadarOnline reports that the Beverly Hills Housewives made a recent group trip to Las Vegas, during which Camille stirred things up over how mean everyone was to her two years ago, and on the flight home Lisa burst into tears over the problems in her relationship with Kyle. Meanwhile, new housewife Yolanda is turning out to be a bore.
* Some regional magazine called “Boardwalk Journal” (doesn’t that just sound like “Street Corner Diary”?) has Melissa Gorga on the cover, calling her “Lady Gorga”. You so clever! Also, one of those Manzo boys told someone (Us? I can’t remember where I read it) that his mom Caroline and Dina saw each other at their mother’s house on Mother’s Day and their relationship is on the mend.
* Gretchen Rossi has released a song called “Unbreakable” which is dedicated to the Magical Penis’ ill son Grayson. I am sure Grayson’s mother is just thrilled.
* Simon Van Kempen tweeted something about RHONY ratings being down and the powers-that-be at Bravo regretting having heaved so many of the veterans overboard en masse. Mr. Andy immediately tweeted back that Simon had no idea what he was talking about. I’m wondering whether letting all the loonies out of the bin hasn’t created more mayhem for Mr. Andy to manage than when he was actually responsible for keeping them all rounded up.
* And finally, apparently PETA got to Vicki Gunvalson, because she has officially given up her NEW FUR COAT and pledged to never wear fur again. She’s keeping the card Donn2 included with the NEW FUR COAT, though, because it’s the thought that counts.
I think it is strange that you thought it was okay for Heather to join Terry and Jim’s conversation and for Tamara to come over to stir the pot was totally out of line. It was none of her business. You may not like Alexis and Jim, but the way these people have been treated is pretty disgusting. Heather and Terry’s true colors will come out. They are already pretty petty to talk so much smack about their guests. Plain tacky and no class.
