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 … Continue reading →

Hey dere, ho dere! Can you believe the end is nigh? How far we’ve come this season, and yet how little we’ve grown. In the news since last week:

* Guess who is supposedly joining the cast of RHOA for next season? Rudy Huxtable! This is not a joke – Straight From the A reports that she has been regularly shooting, although Rudy denies it all on Twitter. This cannot make Bill Cosby happy.

* In other ATL news, Nene is supposedly starting a fashion line – for the big and tall? – and when the Biermann’s were evicted last week they moved back into the condo Big Poopa gave Kim. Let’s all sing it: awkward!

* Lauren Manzo had lap-band surgery and has lost 30 lbs. There is supposedly an article in US Weekly but I haven’t had a chance to read it yet. From the photo I saw, she looks terrific, like a prettier and not-skanky Snooki.

* In other NJ news, Jackie and Tree apparently got in another stupid argument … Continue reading →

How you doing? I’m on summer vacation #1 with my three kids escaping the desert heat for the midwest, and tonight my kids are totally going loco bananas. My dad was once a hard-hat deep-sea diver in the Navy (think 10,000 Leagues Under The Sea) and had his helmet made into a floor lamp, in which he installed a red light bulb. Needless to say while my mother and I watched this tawdry mess there have been many threats to make X child sleep in “the helmet room” so I can put an end to the interruptions. What will I do when I don’t have a helmet room? I’m sure I’ll come up with something. I do it for you, people. In other news:

* Kim Zolciak Biermann and family have officially been evicted from the home where they were filmed for “Tardy for the Wedding”. The landlord claims they were squatters after the lease expired, Kim says they are moving on to bigger and better digs whose price tag matches the inspection. Potato, potato.
