Chile that damn Teresa showed her whole ass last night with that book. And Lawd that damn Ashley keeps giving me NEW reasons to wanna shank her in an alley. I sure hate that Jaq chickened out of the reunion. Wassup with that???

And tune in to Wendy on Wednesday cuz the whole cast is gonna be on the show.

Last week, on WWHL Caroline mentioned that they are currently taping the next season already WHILE the current one airs. Damn, Bravo really wanted to capitalize on the tensions rather than letting it unfold over the next 6 months. I wonder if that means NJ is coming back sooner?

From Jay's blog http://www.bravotv.com/th...s?page=0,0

Over at Jacqueline's house, Chris' brother Jaime comes over from out of town for a visit. Jaime looks like Chris if Chris got put in a blender with Jessie James. Jaime decides on this visit that he is going to have a talk with Ashley. Ashley surprises Chris and her mother by unveiling a new tattoo. I know I am supposed to be angry at the way Ashley is behaving, but I really don't care at all. Somehow Ashley has jumped her own shark. While watching the show, I didn't care about Ashley's tattoo. I didn't care about Ashley's potential move to Los Angeles (I thought she already left). Sadly, I didn't even care about Chris and Jacqueline as long as Ashley was on the screen. Ashley has become a giant black hole of, "Who Cares?" The Real Housewives of New Jersey is one of my favorite television shows, but when Ashley is on the screen, it all just becomes white noise. In a medium that is based on controversy and excitement, Ashley has committed the cardinal sin. Whenever she is on screen, I feel complete indifference.

In the final act of our beloved show, the recipes hit the fan. Teresa's cookbook comes out, and it causes a ton of trouble. You would have thought Kitty Kelly put out a book about the Scientologists. How bad could it be? What could Teresa have written that is so bad? It's a cookbook. Is she naming ingredientzes and putting poison in the cumin? As I kept watching, I got quite a surprise. Leave it to Teresa to somehow insult people in a freaking cookbook. Last time I checked, cookbooks are filled with recipes, right? Usually when you write a cookbook, there isn't a lot of room left over to take pot shots at friends and loved ones. I don't recall Sandra Lee ever printing the recipe for pumpkin scones and then putting an extra part about how Andrew Cuomo farts when he pees. But Teresa thought ahead. She knew that there wouldn't be room for insults in between all of those Fabulicious recipes. That's why she put the insults in the introduction. Yeah!

On a side note, what recipe would require her to mention Christopher? Was she making stripper carwash flambé? This is very disturbing behavior from Teresa. Go back and read my blogs from a couple of months ago. I wrote that I thought Teresa was coming undone. It turns out I was right. Not only has Teresa come undone, but it looks like entering Season 4 she has become unwanted. By taking shots at people in her cookbook, she has alienated herself from Caroline, Albert, Albie, Christopher, Lauren, (Greg?), Jacqueline, Chris, Melissa, and eventually her brother. That's ten people that just turned against you on a show with a cast of twelve. That's tough sledding.

It was for a season finale. But the last 5 minutes with everyone finding out what Teresa said was funny. That chick is CRAZY if she thought anyone would find those comments funny. And why say that stuff in a COOKBOOK???

I didn't even know they aired the finale last night! When I checked the Bravo site and all my bootleg hook-ups this morning, they hadn't posted any new Housewife news, so I thought they didn't want to split viewership with the Kardashian wedding special- which- btw- I was about to pop Wendy in her mouth last week for referring to that as America's Royal Wedding over and over again.

I just want to say that there is nothing wrong with Teresa calling out Caroline for being non-full blood/one sixteenth Italian. I mean its true isn't it? Personally I thought she was one fourth Italian with the rest being Irish. Its like Leonardo DiCaprio. He's only 1/4 Italian and the last time his grandma pointed that out in the press it was some omg moment. Who cares? Why should Caroline feel insulted?

I think Teresa is right in that there is some professional jealousy going on between her and Caroline and their once competing book deals.

Is it my imagination or does Andy Cohen have a big crush on Joey Gorga? He seemed to be giving him the eyes and really pushing that drag thing on WWHL. Why does Joey look like one of those flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz? I keep thinking Melissa will yell at any moment "fly my pretty....flyyyyy!!!"

Jaqueline is a better woman than me. I would have barred Ashley from the neighborhood.

WTF! All those Laurita's look alike. I mean "clones"!

C'mon now, saying that she's as Italian as The Olive Garden is a MAJOR dig to any Italian. But why is her heritage the least bit relevant in the Intro to a cookbook??? It seems totally random and outta place to make a comment like that IMO and I'd be pissed too. And since when has Caroline's Italianicity been in question? I thought both her parents were Italian, regardless they do got some SKRONG genes.

If Teresa's going solely on looks she need to sit her ignant ass down somewhere cuz even Robert Deniro's half Irish. But I've met several red-haired, blue-eyed Italians whose people go back for generations on both sides but they still came out looking like Howdy Doody.

I agree tho, Andy was foaming at the mouf over Joey

I think its relevant because at one time Caroline was trying to pen an italian cookbook. Supposedly Caroline was trying to discourage Teresa from doing her book. Also, Caroline always seems to be digging at Teresa for her behavior and outbursts when in fact, Teresa is being an authentic hot-blooded New Jersey Italian girl. It seems Teresa has retaliated the best way she knows how....attack the gene pool.

Andy is a hot mess. I swear he will flirt with anybody's husband right in front of their ass!

But Caroline was trynna do that cookbook when Teresa did her FIRST one so why she publically asking for her birth certificate NOW after all this time? She KNEW when she wrote that shit Caroline wasn't gonna think it was funny. Shit if that's your goal be about it but she can keep this backpedalling "oh, it was just a joke I'm funny like that" boolshit

I know Leo DiCaprio's dad is Italian (his momma is a German immigrant and dude speaks German) As for Caroline, I do know Laurita is a skrait-up Italian name, and she's always said in the past that her peeps were Italian immigrants to America. She always said they came humbly from Italy and made honest money, which was why she was so upset when the show first started & folks kept saying the Jersey wives were all mob princesses.

Also when you look at Caroline's other sisters, those faces just scream Italian (to me), even if there is a little bit of some other blood in there. But you know what? I'm also not sure that I'm really buying the whole professional jealousy thing from Teresa ; Caroline is used to rolling with chicks who have dough and know how to make it. I think what she might not be feeling though is how crazy Teresa is always acting- and having to rep for her on hte show, in her blog, and to the media; Teresa has a sweet side, but she has the intellect of plank of wood, she's violent, is ridiculously petty and can be very draining to be around. Caroline met Tre through Dina, and now that she's had to spend more time with Tre (without Dina there as a buffer during filming and whathaveyou), I could see how the girl would wear on her nerves so much that it would spark some comments to pop out of her mouth after all this time.

There's a crappy video online of Caroline introducing her family tree from a couple seasons back, but it's on Hulu, and I can't access it from outside the damned country

Agreed. Caroline BEEN making REAL dough for awhile despite her humble beginnings. So I don't see her being mad about a cookbook at least not mad enuff to say some shit publically. And that Dina always been on her hustle. I didn't realize how many reality shows Dina has been on even before RHONJ. Apparently her wedding was featured on VH1 in a show called My Big Fat Italian Wedding. And I think she was on another show too. Dina is a HUSTLA for real!!!

I saw that wedding special! Her husband spent a million bucks on that wedding (although I know he was prolly able to write alot of that off in some shape, form or fashion). I was mad at her for spending $50,000 on those butterflies though, because I didn't think they were cute. Though she made up for it by having The Stylistics as her wedding band kicking out all those old school jams, though

It's all so funny how Season 3 of RHONJ has changed so many damn tides these past few months. First we start off with the most violent baby christening in history. Then it appears that Melissa's fam just straight hated on her. As the season goes on, we see her family try to make amends with her and she constantly rehashes shit from the past and blows up on the most petty statements. Now with the season finale last night, we see Teresa manage to turn WHOLE families as well close friends against her....all because of a damn cookbook. WTF??? A cookbook??? How in the hell do you offend and bash people in a damn cookbook? And I used the to think the show was a hot annoying mess with Danielle Staub on there...lawd they have, somehow, topped her delusional ass.

As for Teresa giving the excuse of "it's just a joke" just as Caroline's daughter said that Teresa would give that excuse...Teresa knows good and well you don't attack a fellow Italian's heritage. That's the ultimate no-no and she being Italian KNOWS that. And how do you attack your "baby sister-in-law" in a cookbook? So this all just comes to show that Teresa knew exactly what she was doing when she was writing that book. So now when we see the reunion she's going to deny deny deny any fault on her part, AS ALWAYS, its everybody else's fault when they misunderstand her, but when the shoe is on the other foot she's ready to hold grudges. Joey Gorga was right, she really has let the fame go to her head. I wanted to laugh when she told Jacqueline last night that if you keep nitpicking everything then eventually you have no friends...really? Cuz she sure has managed to push away all of hers including her family.

I don't know why, but now I'm starting to like Melissa and Kathy. Call me silly.

But what is Jacqueline's reasoning for not participating in the reunion? I see she posted a blog on the Bravo website today.

How the hell did Teresa become Danielle in one fell swoop

And even tho Melissa is ALMOST as dumb as Tre's dumb ass I like her too. Mel's still over the top and self-absorbed like Tre but she doesn't strike me as being mean on purpose like Tre. I always liked Kathy and Richie cuz I just knew Tre's irrational ass was the root cause of the beef moreso than anything Kathy actually DID to her. Plus I just love their family dynamic.

I think Jaq dropped out after the twitter war with Tre broke out. Still doesn't make sense tho, you calling her scum on Twitter but shrinking from meeting face to face???

Hell you couldn't KEEP my ass from that reunion so I could get in and wallow all up in that ass in real time.

Yeah I love how Kathy's family is really tight knit and how her children are respectful. That's such a breath of fresh air for real. Especially seeing how on many of these Housewife series that the children are so disrespectful and out of control. Kathy's children give people hope. I never really cared for Richie because I think his sense of humor is dry though he finds it to be hilarious, but I love how he has Kathy's back whenever she feels attacked or hurt. Couples like that give me hope that someday I'd find a man that special to love me and have my back too.

Well one thing Jacqueline needs to learn is that, if you going to dish it out and call people out, you need to face them as well. That's why I don't care for twitter nor FB for that matter because people get to hide behind those sites. I don't really see a valid reason for her not being on the reunion, even if it hurts her to see how outraegous her former friend has become. IMO.

What was the last ep of Basketball Jumpoffs? Was it the one where they confront Draya, yet again, about her leaving her child home alone?

These bimbs are beyond predictable. Jackie is especially transparent. Could she at least try to fake some sincerity?

Last week, on WWHL Caroline mentioned that they are currently taping the next season already WHILE the current one airs. Damn, Bravo really wanted to capitalize on the tensions rather than letting it unfold over the next 6 months. I wonder if that means NJ is coming back sooner?

It's all so funny how Season 3 of RHONJ has changed so many damn tides these past few months. First we start off with the most violent baby christening in history. Then it appears that Melissa's fam just straight hated on her. As the season goes on, we see her family try to make amends with her and she constantly rehashes shit from the past and blows up on the most petty statements. Now with the season finale last night, we see Teresa manage to turn WHOLE families as well close friends against her....all because of a damn cookbook. WTF??? A cookbook??? How in the hell do you offend and bash people in a damn cookbook? And I used the to think the show was a hot annoying mess with Danielle Staub on there...lawd they have, somehow, topped her delusional ass.

As for Teresa giving the excuse of "it's just a joke" just as Caroline's daughter said that Teresa would give that excuse...Teresa knows good and well you don't attack a fellow Italian's heritage. That's the ultimate no-no and she being Italian KNOWS that. And how do you attack your "baby sister-in-law" in a cookbook? So this all just comes to show that Teresa knew exactly what she was doing when she was writing that book. So now when we see the reunion she's going to deny deny deny any fault on her part, AS ALWAYS, its everybody else's fault when they misunderstand her, but when the shoe is on the other foot she's ready to hold grudges. Joey Gorga was right, she really has let the fame go to her head. I wanted to laugh when she told Jacqueline last night that if you keep nitpicking everything then eventually you have no friends...really? Cuz she sure has managed to push away all of hers including her family.

I don't know why, but now I'm starting to like Melissa and Kathy. Call me silly.

But what is Jacqueline's reasoning for not participating in the reunion? I see she posted a blog on the Bravo website today.

ALL OF THAT!

I just watched the finale Teresa done lost her damned mind.

I understand tat she's dancing as fast as she can cause she's the major breadwinner, and has to hustle to keep them in the lifestyle to which they've become accustomed, and the family stress and . I had sympathy for her being caught between a rock and a hard place like that, but---what's up with her dogging her friends when they stuck by her crazy ass while she was flipping tables, starting fights at country clubs, in court for farudulent finance dealings and whipping Andy Cohen around at the last reunion like a rag doll? Girl, please. You need to go sit down somewhere by using negativity (towards OTHERS who are the CLOSEST to you) to sell a damned cookbook
