Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

Last night was weird. Yeah-I'm pretty sure that's the best word I can use to describe it. Maybe super weird would be a better choice? Okay-here goes my attempt to strategically describe the RHONJ reunion show part deux.

Let's break it all down from strange to stranger to strangest moments:

Strange:

Danielle's outfit

Andy Cohen's socks

Caroline acting like a genie

Stranger:

Danielle talking about her sex life [is she into men or women??]

Kim G showing up

Danielle pulling out a head with hair extensions

Andy Cohen pulling said head of hair

Strangest:

Danielle hugging Teresa

Danielle hugging Jacqueline and whispering sweet nothings into her ear

Danielle shaking Caroline's hand

So that pretty much summed up the reunion show part dos. I think we can see what the common denominator is: Danielle. Now divide 3 housewives, add an Andy Cohen, and subtract a Danielle Staub because she's gone. Yeah-you heard [ahem-read] right, the reunion was Danielle's last Bravo appearance. Cue music.

So what's next for the Jersey housewives? We haven't heard much of anything yet, but when we find out more information, you can bet that you will find it here. I have some investigating to do...maybe I should call up Danielle's PI?

In case you missed out on the awkward hugger, feel free to see for yourself:

O-kiM-G

Monday is here again and it comes bringing our favorite NJ ladies. RHONJ Reunion Part 2 is tonight! Be sure to tune in and see what the infamous Kim G has to say and if Andy Cohen can survive this.

So get your Jersey on and watch

tonight @ 9/8c

Bravo: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

The Good:

-Lea Michelle stated in the October issue of Glamour magazine that she loves Bravo, especially Top Chef and RHONJ. So she get's a mazel from us!

[side note: can't wait for the new season of Glee! hootie hoo!]

-I made meatballs using Caroline Manzo's recipe, and they were delicious. Check it out here

-Top Chef won an Emmy

-Albie Manzo is still reportedly single

The Bad:

-Tiffany Derry had to pack her knives and go on Top Chef this week [another loss for the South. At least we have sweet tea and NASCAR]

-Bethenny Frankel will not be returning to the RH of New York [before you go all Ramotional on us, Andy Cohen wants her back for a second season of Bethenny Getting Married? They should change it to "Bethenny Staying Clothed?"] Check out the article for her reasons for leaving [ahem-Kelly]
-Lynn Curtin was not asked back for season 6 of the RH of Orange County [I'm going to miss her cuffs, drunkeness, expressionless face and bratty kids]. If you want to read the article, click here
-Real Housewives of DC is still lame

And The Ugly:

My Big Gay Italian Wedding

Our favorite Jersey wives have another hit show-but on Broadway this time! We mentioned this in an earlier post, but now that it has premiered and it's all I've been hearing about from Twitter to the Today Show, I just wanted to say that I'm real bummed that I can't see it. It's not fair. So to everyone who can see it, I'm super jealous. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

For those like ourselves who can't see the show, this picture will have to suffice for now.

This sucks.

Top Chef Takes a Turn for the Worst

Alright so last night's Top Chef episode was all about astronauts and freeze-dried food. Yum...uh more like yuck! I'm going to give you the good news first and then announce the bad news :(

Good News
The judges agreed that the last five chefs performed fantastically!
I think this was the most intense episode so far. Also, this episode's guest judge is one of my favorite chefs/world traveler, Anthony Bourdain.


Bad News
After a tough deliberation, the judges had to eliminate my favorite cheftestant, Tiffany Derry. She was my fellow Texas native from Beaumont. She has such a great attitude and joyful spirit. Confession: when she was eliminatedfrom the competition last night I cried. I've never cried watching Top Chef so that was definitely a first time experience. I wish her the best and much continued success.
I love you Tiff! Happy newlywed life!

Beverly Hills, That's Where I Don't Want To Be

We've been putting off this post, probably because we aren't too excited about it. But here it goes: RHOBH. Yep-Beverly Hills is getting Real. Another California RH. Isn't OC enough?? It's the original and one of my favorite RH and I just don't feel like BH was needed. I guess we'll be seeing some more over-tan, blonde, big bubbied, Botoxed women. But hey-we might be surprised and love this one. On the positive, it won't take much for it to be better than DC.

We still think that there should be a Texas one because who doesn't love Southern women? Everything's bigger in Texas, from the hair to the heart [and let's not forget the food]. So we're waiting Andy Cohen, we're waiting.

Kate + Rachel = Mah-jor.

How perfect is this timing: It's Rachel Zoe's birthday today! Send her a happy birthday tweet!

Who else watched the RZP marathon yesterday?? Love it when Bravo does that. It's like they know I want to watch RZP all day and get zero accomplished. It also reminded me of how different the show is now without Taylor. Geez-Rachel put up with a lot from her. Glad she peaced out of there.

Onto last night's episode-Kate Hudson showed up! And she can sing! Mind blown. I adore her-she is too cute. She brought out a Rachel that we don't see often. She was so upbeat and as carefree as RZ can be I guess. Kate even pressured Rachel with the whole baby situation. Poor Rodger-he just couldn't win. Are tensions rising in the Berman Home? It really should be the Zoe home, but I felt bad for Rodger, so I gave it his name. I'm nice like that. Ain't I nice? Oh wait-wrong show. So I LOVE Rachel's hair/makeup guy, Joey Maalouf. Can he be a regular? And can I be friends with him? And more importantly, can he do my hair/makeup? So after Rachel's sidetrip to see Kate and the Burberry show [which was killer-the military look is fierce], she headed to Milan for some more fashion shows and to meet Donatella Versace, the Madonna of fashion, as Brad refers to her as. She's a fashion goddess and has paved the way for trends for years. No one can touch her. So I probably shouldn't say this, but I mean this is the nicest way possible, but she kind of looks like Voldemort. But she can design the heck out of clothes, so that makes her beautiful.

Favorite moment of the episode: Brad calling the Zoe crew a 'gaggle of gays'. Genius.

The Zoe Camp is still on the hunt for Oscar dresses. I'm interested to see how it goes down. I already ruined the Marchesa dress story for you guys, but I'll hold out on telling you what they end up getting.

Love the Zoe-isms.
