Real Housewives of OC: Lucky Seven Begins

2012-02-10T01:05:00.000-08:00

Hello Beloved Readers! I am thrilled and honored to take on the seventh season of the Real Housewives of Orange County!How did another brunette make it onto the show?I’m going to start off honestly with full disclosure: I’ve never watched this show. I’m a devoted RHONY viewer, but the closest I got to RHOC was recapping the epic failure Date My Ex, featuring Jo de la Rosa and Slade Smiley.

Bachelor Pad 2: Anyone Get Any Love or Money?

2011-09-16T09:22:00.001-07:00

Well, this is it! It's the final episode of this crazy freak show called Bachelor Pad 2! We come back to Holly whining, whining about how hard it was to send Blake home, but how she hopes so bad that now Michael knows she’s loyal to him. Chris comes in to announce the final challenge that will take place tomorrow. It’s the hardest challenge EVAH, and it won’t take place here at the mansion,

Bachelor Pad 2: Coupledom

2011-09-10T16:36:00.000-07:00

So everyone is regrouping after the last ousting that sent William (who?) and Melissa home. Blake is totally relieved because he thinks now the coast is clear for him to pursue Holly at full throttle. I guess he’s conveniently leaving Michael out of the equation. Wait, he does mention that Michael doesn’t own Holly, so I guess that takes care of that. Just as everyone is ready to call it a

Bachelor Pad 2: Pinky Swearing is a Slippery Slope

2011-09-01T09:11:00.000-07:00

We return to our Bachelor Pad having backed up a minute or two to Chris Harrison telling the guys that whoever doesn’t hear their name has to get in the limo and get lost. Then he calls Kasey’s name, Vienna says thank you to all the girls, Michelle heaves a sigh of relief and tells Kasey she loves him as she hands him the rose. Gross. "And as Miss America, I promise to stop interrupting."

Bachelor Pad 2: Synchronized Madness

2011-08-25T11:39:00.000-07:00

We come back to our monkey habitat with the girls still all swooning over Fetal Alcohol running after the short bus to be with his eternal love, Jackie. It’s truly the most romantic thing they’ve ever seen. The guys are all still looking from side to side and blinking - wondering if they will ever be able to get a girl in the sack again without going to such great lengths. (Hint guys - you

Bachelor Pad 2: Crappa Nostra

2011-08-19T09:54:00.000-07:00

So we’re back with our gang of misfits and losers and Kasey is still going on and on about how he is the one controlling this game. This is probably the most power this douche has had in his entire life. "This totally makes up for when no one would go to prom with me!" His next goal is to get rid of Jake, of course. I thought that was his first goal - what was that about all of your control,

Bachelor Pad 2: Protecting a Terrified Heart

2011-08-12T20:52:00.000-07:00

Bethenny Ever After: SOLD!

2011-05-13T11:19:00.000-07:00

Well here we are at the season finale of Bethenny Ever After. I have mixed emotions about our gal after watching these 11 episodes. She’s really quite a mess, but at least she knows that and (mostly) keeps a sense of humor - at least in hindsight. Let’s see how she wraps things up!"So I ruined my own birthday party. It happens."So we’re back on the Skinny Girl tour at our first sold out show.

Let’s see what she’s up to, shall we?Bryn's like, "Who's this lady?"Bethenny and Julie are checking into the Presidential Suite of the Hilton in Short Hills, New Jersey. This hotel is having a Grand Opening of their spa and

Bethenny Ever After: Turkey Tantrum

2011-04-21T12:45:00.001-07:00

Hello beloved readers! Glad you could join me for another hour of celebrating Bethenny’s glory while she complains about everything. This recap made even more impressive by the fact that I am, of course, a newlywed."What? I'm not the only newlywed doing stuff?"This episode is a series of vignettes, each of which is bookended with snippets from a session with Dr. Amador. Great, what pearls of

Bethenny Ever After: Bottling Plant of Slackers

2011-04-14T13:56:00.000-07:00

It looks like Bethenny is getting her mind off the extreme trauma that was her birthday party by giving 100% to her brand new ice skating career. "No more presents."We join her with her trainer Napoleon Dynamite at the Union Sports Arena in Union, NJ. She tells us this is no joke. She’s skating two to three hours a day and it’s been going on for four weeks. It’s actually quite impressive. She

She and Buster are stopping by the venue, Villa Pacri, to lunch and chat. Bethenny keeps yawning and saying how exhausted she is and Buster suggests that she have a glass of wine. HA!

Jersey Shore: One Last STD

2011-03-28T08:57:00.001-07:00

So here we are in our final hour of this Jersey Shore nonsense. I hope I can get all the way through it, cause I’m telling you guys... this season has draaaaaaaaaaagggged. I miss the episodes where I was cracking up over two thirds of the scenes and one-liners and things happened I could get behind. The last few episodes have pretty much been incoherent torture.Exhibit AMid-action: Ronnie

Well, she’s part of the family, right? Bethenny keeps calling her a wolf and then they yell at

Jersey Shore: Your Mom's Drunk Dialing

Bethenny Ever After: Tyrannical Empire

2011-03-17T13:42:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone! Who's ready for another glassful of Bethenny?"What can you do for ME today? Huh?"I’m a little concerned this week because the public image of our little protagonist, Bethenny, seems to be taking a bit of a hit. I’ve been reading things on the interwebs and even just reading your comments it’s clear that Bethenny is grating some nerves. What I found so endearing about her last

2011-03-09T23:25:00.000-08:00

Welcome back to Bethenny! I’m so glad you guys are still here and still watching Bethenny’s life change with me! I’m always amused by our sassy heroine, even when I don’t agree with her."How could you not agree with me? That's crazy."Holla, kdognatl! So sweet of you to ask about my own newlywed happenings.

"Is my bronzer smeared?"We come back to the shore house to find Snooki attempting to cuddle with Gianni, her latest one night smoosh. She asks if he’ll spoon her, but he doesn’t know what that means so Snooki decides he’s served his purpose and sends him on home.

The tears stream and Ronnie laments this hole he’s dug himself into."How could that heartless whore just leave me like this?"Sitch comes to offer him some comfort. This should be good. He just says that Ronnie has a lot of good things in his life. Ronnie sniffles that Sammi was a

Jersey Shore: All Time Low

2011-02-13T22:54:00.001-08:00

Welcome to another (and hopefully the last) Rammi-centric episode. Of course, I would prefer not to recap any Rammi fights because they are all identical, nonsensical and lead nowhere. Plus we’ve seen their fight so many times that really, what’s the point anymore? But that’s all they’ve given me to go on tonight, so I have no choice.We've reached a new low.We wake up the next morning after
