Real Housewives of Atlanta star has long criminal record  Clink to read more

The latest series of hit reality show ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ has not yet hit TV screens – but a new member is already causing controversy. For it has emerged that Marlo Hampton has a long criminal track record and was snapped for seven different mugshots between 1999 and 2003. – HSD / Splash News

It has emerged that Marlo Hampton has a long criminal record and had seven different mugshots taken between 1999 and 2003.

Hampton, who is engaged to NFL player Charles Grant, was booked on a string of different charges by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Department while living in Tampa, Florida.

She has been arrested for aggravated battery with great bodily harm, probation violations, buying items with a worthless cheque and possession of a firearm.

Hampton, 35, said: ‘I am not ashamed of my past as that has helped me become a better woman today.

‘We all have a past and my hard-knock childhood in and out of the foster care system is a reflection on a bigger issue we are faced with here in America, a broken foster care system.

‘My present charge in life is to live with God in my heart and help young women especially from the foster care system avoid the challenges I faced.’

‘Mob Wives’ Drita D’avanzo: I Don’t Want My Kids To Take After Me!   Clink to read more

And Drita’s kids are luckily adhering to their mother’s advice. “Aleeya had an incident when she first moved here — girls not wanting to be nice to her. She came home crying,” remembers Drita. But Aleeya didn’t raise her fist. “She actually said, ‘I was so mad that it was so hurtful, but I remember you said ignore them and I did.’ I was so proud of her because I was in kindergarten when I punched a kid in the face.”

“When people say mean things to you, you have to feel sorry for them and pray for them to be a better person at night,” Drita always reminds her kids.

But Drita still fears that Aleeya’s emotions could cause her problems down the road, because that’s exactly what happened to her father, Lee D’avanzo. “Why I want to get my daughter help in therapy is because my husband had anger issues with the fact that the feds killed his father,” explains Drita. “He immediately had a hatred towards the law. His mother said he became a totally different person when he woke up.”

“Not that that’s Aleeya’s case,” continues Drita. “She can get angry at the world because her father’s not around,” but she keeps it all inside.

Drita just doesn’t want to see her daughter ever react like Drita does under pressure. “The last incident that I had just went to show me that really I could just end up in jail,” says Drita referring to the season finale fight where blood is drawn. “These kids have no business not having both parents around”

Ramona Singer: I Don’t Have a Drinking Problem Clink to read more

    

“Do I overdrink? No. I drink with responsibility,” Ramona told In the Mixx at a recent event for Hamptons Magazine at the Southampton Social Club. “I drink with a beautiful dinner. I would rather have my one or two glasses of Pinot Grigio than dessert which is 700 calories.”

Though she admits her name has become synonymous with the white wine, she’s using that to her advantage with her own line, Ramona Pinot Grigio.

And besides, the 54-year-old explains, drinking comes with being a Real Housewife.

“All I can say is, we’re filmed in social events. If you look at anytime I have a drink in my hand, look what LuAnn [de Lesseps] is drinking. The other people are drinking,” Ramona said. “The only person who doesn’t drink is Jill [Zarin]. She only drinks Diet Coke – and you wonder why? But anyway, all the other Housewives shows – they’re all drinking.”

Does it bother her that her costars, like Jill, have said they worry about her drinking? Or that she’s portrayed on the show as always wanting a glass of her beloved wine?

“I actually said to Bravo, I called them up I said, ‘Wait, is the story line so bad you have to make [my drinking] a story line? Because you know I don’t have a drinking problem,’ ” she said.

She also noted: “I’ve been on the show for four years. How can I have five businesses, be married 19 years, have a daughter who’s a straight-A student? I cannot even be a … functioning alcoholic if I had all of this stuff going on. It would be impossible. Do you ever see me fall down on TV? Do you ever see me slur my speech? Absolutely not. Do I have a drink or two with dinner? Absolutely.”

And that, according to her husband Mario, is good for business.

“You know what? It promotes the Pinot Grigio,” he says of the frequency of Real Housewives footage of Ramona drinking. “So if they want to make a big deal about it … that’s [fine].”

Kim Zolciak to Kelly Bensimon: “Grow Up”  Damn I love me a twitter war.  Clink here to read more.

Kim Zolciak had some strong words for Real Housewives of New Yorkstar Kelly Bensimon on Twitter today — but then she apparently took them back.

The pregnant Real Housewives of Atlanta star tweeted: “How disgusting Kelly from RHONY to make comments about my unborn child and Kroy! Grow up and keep my name outta ur mouth!”

(Real Housewives gossiping about each other? Shocking!)

 

 Camille tones down her act  Is this possible that Camille Grammer is toning it down?  Well I guess if a court order demands it, its not from free will!  Click here to read more!

Has Kelsey Grammer‘s ex-wife Camille Grammer been ordered in their divorce settlement to shut up about their painful split and calm down on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”?

After hitting the jackpot in her recent divorce settlement with the “Frasier” star — and facing a custody battle for their kids — Camille has returned to the show’s second-season tapings “subdued.”

So much so that Bravo producers are finding her character — which provided a lot of the crazy entertainment in Season 1 — “really boring,” according to sources, one of whom added, “Producers have told Camille she has to start being more interesting and causing more drama.”

 

Melissa Gorga Considered Leaving Jersey ‘Housewives’.  And I don’t believe this for a moment!  Do you?  Other wise Angry Joe would of given her “the look”  Clink here to read more!

Melissa – sister-in-law to “Real Housewife” Teresa Giudice – told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Friday’s Access Hollywood Live that she considered leaving the series after a fight broke out at her son’s baptism reception.

“That was crazy!” she said of the fracas that started after her husband, Joe Gorga, called his sister Teresa “garbage,” which incensed Teresa’s husband, Joe Giudice, and led to the massive brawl featured on the show’s season premiere.

“It was sad,” Melissa continued. “It’s obviously not because Teresa came over and said hello. It’s deep, it’s deep and I think you’re going to see play out on the rest of the show.”

The new “Housewife” claimed she doesn’t want to be a wedge between her husband and his sister.

“I do not want Teresa and [my husband] Joe to be apart,” she told Billy and Kit. “I want them to be together and I’m kind of stuck between a brother and a sister who are having this quarrel… This happens in everyone’s families. How many people get along wonderfully with their sister-in-laws? I don’t know many!”

Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap – Melissa “Chante, you stay,” Teresa “sashay away.”

It’s Halloween folks at The ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey” and this is actually my favorite holiday.  I used to love dressing up the kids and apply award-winning ghoulish makeup to wee faces.  I had a rule, once you reached the age of 5 years, if you wanted to be Cinderella, you had to be a dead Cinderella.  If you wanted to be a Nija, you had to be a dead Ninja.  My house, my rules.

The Manzo’s/Laurita’s are carving pumpkins which is a seguay for the families to grill Teresa on what happened.   They have to practically pull it out of her and Caroline gets right to the matter at hand while the kids are present.   Teresa claims on her blog that the kids were removed from carving pumpkins and dishing dirt, but the camera don’t lie.   Also while she is telling the story, I can see a baby’s hand fondle her hair.   A prerequisite to being a Real Housewife is to be a big fat liar.  Ok to be fair, the baby was handed off for a diaper change an the other kids got bored and went in the yard to play.

But I Aint Dead Yet!!

Teresa’s side of the story is that when she became busy and getting a lot of attention for her book, that was the beginning to the strained relationship with Melissa driving home the nail on the coffin.  (Halloween theme) 😉

Teresa said she just walked away and then heard banging on the table.  Camera cut to Joe giving his version with the guys and said was just strolling up the stairs and the “little fidget” came after him.  I don’t remember it this way.  It’s great when you can tell a story to people who were not there so you can change the actual events.  But Joe isn’t smart enough to know that Bravo will be airing this, over and over again.

News, Rumors and Just Plain Ol Gossip

Bethenny Frankel is featured in ‘Time’ entailing her past years parlaying her reality show stints into a financial success rising above all reality stars.  Excerpt below and Click here to read full article.

Why there was ever a doubting question mark on Bethenny Getting Married? is up for debate, though one might blame those pesky, undermining Real Housewives castmates. One of the great hilarities of the show was watching Frankel — youngest, skinniest, arguably prettiest, her career advancing by the minute — bullied mercilessly by women who were forced to renew vows, restock closets and redecorate to garner equal camera time. Informed breezily by Ramona Singer that best friend Jill Zarin only liked her because she liked to root for the “underdog,” Frankel incredulously told the cameras, “I hadn’t realized I was this deformed, undateable human being.” When Frankel was chosen for the cover of Social Life magazine, former model Countess LuAnn de Lesseps’ well-placed dart — “Are they going to airbrush you?” — hit home. Visibly rattled, Frankel tried vainly to pry an apology out of this blithe Cruella over an excruciating lunch. The ingenue couldn’t see garden-variety jealousy when it smacked her with her own rising star. But viewers (and savvy producers) could.

Consumer Reports on how “The Real Housewives of New York City” are really irresponsible.  Something some of us had discussed already and confirmed by the experts.  Click here to read more.

Less than two weeks ago on Bravo television, The Real Housewives of New York City took a risky ride on a couple of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). In a scene that lasted for less than 45 seconds, the characters managed to misuse the vehicles in numerous ways. They—and worse, their children—were at a greater risk of injury and potentially death because they lacked helmets, rode tandem and allowed children to drive and ride two abreast as passengers behind the driver.

From 2004 through 2008, there was an estimated annual average of 864 ATV-related deaths in the United States and 141,080 emergency-room-treated injuries. This five-year period consisted of an annual average of 142 reported deaths of children under the age of sixteen. Of those injured in that time period, 40,420 were under the age of sixteen. For this reason, we recommend against the use of ATVs by children as either drivers or passengers.

 

“Mob Wives” Tough Talking Renee Graziano Dishes!

 

New York Post –  Renee Graziano finally can tell all.  Some excerpts below

The VH1 reality series, which premiered April 17, has freed Graziano, 41, to talk about her life as the daughter of Anthony “The Little Guy “ Graziano, the reputed consigliere in the Bonanno crime family, and ex-wife of mobster Hector Pagan Jr, who was convicted of running a huge marijuana distribution ring.

“I’m no longer living my own secret life,” she says. “The best part of “Mob Wives” for me is being able to say it out loud.”

The show is the brainchild of Renee’s sister Jenn, and follows four women whose husbands and fathers are “connected” mob men, including infamous Mafia turncoat Sammy “The Bull” Gravano’s daughter, Karen, who moved to Arizona with her family when her father entered the witness protection program in the mid-1990s.

BRAVO MAXINE is a freaking Racist!! Let me Splain..

 

Just to bring you readers up to date.. we had a twitter turd named Tweet Maxine, The “Bravo Mole” and she was outlandish and just plain ugly to Real Housewife peeps and just mean to unsuspecting housewife’s who had no clue of their celebrity and background to be unveiled.  Hey it happens to the best of us!  But you don’t want chit to be made up like Maxine did.  SHe was ugly and just plainly made chit up!!  When the good stuff wasnt available.  so.. now she is back and making more chit up and is now a true racist and is unabashed.  She is loud and proud and all Housewives who are not born here or born a Christian of some sort is suspect to Maxine.  

If you’re a Real Housewives fan on Twitter, you no doubt have run into a character who calls herself “Tweet Maxine.” Insisting she’s got all kinds of connections, Maxine could be found tweeting long rants and “scoops” on the housewives 24 hours a day.

Maxine’s other obsessions appeared to be the cast of Desperate Housewives, Victoria Rowell, and conservative politics. While I first found her amusing, several comments about Jill Zarin and Andy Cohen’s religion completely turned me off. Her claims got more and more bizarre as time went on: claiming that Kandi Burruss had more to do with the death of her fiancee A.J. Jewell; claiming that Caroline and Dina Manzo had been fired from Real Housewives of New Jersey and claiming that Gretchen Rossi had been scouting wedding locations for season 6 of Real Housewives of Orange County. All of Maxine’s stories were based on conjecture that anyone who follows the housewives could have come up with. However, I noticed that many people were repeating her stories on forums and a few other blogs, believing her to be a real Bravo “insider.”

Bethenny Ever After ♥♥♥ Recap – The Mile High Club – Tough Titties?

This weeks episode was fun and pretty much drama free.  This will be fun to recap for a change and who would have thought Jason could take over an episode?  He was really funny and charming this week and you see the pair become more of a couple as they grow their business and respect for each other.

 

At least last weeks episode ended on a sweet note with the entire family having a day at the pool, in the bathroom.  How funny was it with Cookie included in the birthday festivities sporting sunglasses? 

It’s 2 weeks until the premiere of “Skating With The Stars” and we get to watch a bit more of the practice.  Ethan and Bethenny really seem to gel as a skating couple and Bethenny really trust’s Ethan.  He encourages her to complete the ‘death spiral’ and Bethenny realizes it makes her dizzy.  Yep.. Bethenny decides to suck it up with..

“Tough Titties”

I had to laugh out loud since I haven’t heard that line since I was a kid.  I wasn’t sure if that phrase was used any more and apparently it will live on.   Remember the grade school song?   “tough titties said the kitty, when the milk ran dry.”  Thanks Bethenny for making this ring in my head and sending me back to grade school.. ugh

Watch What Happens Live with Peggy and Jay Recap AND After Show

Who besides me wants to see Jay Morh on WWHL more often?  Jay was hysterical Sunday night and I can’t believe a straight man knows as much about the housewives as I do!   I actually think Jay watches Housewives just to get material for his act because it’s a gift that keeps on giving!

Joy even points out how Alexis throws Peggy under the bus for saying that she went to the wrong doctor after viewing the results.  LMAOO  I WANT MORE JAY ON BRAVO!!!

Jay imitating Tracy Morgan acting in a scene of Real Housewives?  Now I want Tracy AND Jay on Bravo!!

The Vicky montage was funny.  How does Vicky not get how inappropriate she is?  Who actually has no clue on office interaction behavior and is even willing to film it?  Vicky that’s who.   Vicky actually scares Jay because of Vicky asking her kids if her friends are proud of her.  Vicky is totally creeping out Jay and thank you Jay for saying what Andy wont!

All the talk about Peggy’s boobs is really boring me and I want Peggy to shut up so it gives more time for Jay..  WHAT THE BOOB!!?!?!?!?

LynnNChicago Portrait of a Housewife    Taylor Armstrong – Real Housewives of Beverly Hills  

Taylor Armstrong, wife and mother, businesswoman and manipulator. Taylor first debuted and really didn’t make much of a splash. It appeared as though she was going to be one of those supporting housewives like Lisa from Atlanta or any number of ex-housewives from Orange County.

She seemed nice enough, the only thing that fans of the show could find to distinguish her from any other California blonde was perhaps the huge lips. Taylor was introduced as a mother from Oklahoma who likes to spend time with her daughter for fun. She runs a consulting firm and her husband Russell is a venture capitalist originally from Texas.
