The rest of RHONJ....

Okay is it me or are they over this cookbook business? Urgh. Let it go already. Yes she made inappropriate comments, yes she gave apologies, but dang are they really going to keep talking about this the whole season? If so, I bow out now.

That whole scene at Jacqueline's house was unsettling. It's like they all came to make sure to give Teresa the side eye whenever she showed up. Then for Teresa to go into that whole spill about how she was sorry if anyone felt offended by what she put in the cookbook and then was like "okay feel better now"...homegirl would had done better not saying anything at all. I was with Joe on this one when he was trying to tell Teresa to just leave it alone already.

Richie makes my skin crawl. He's annoying.

I used to really like Caroline but lately she's become so preachy.

Now as far as Ashley goes, why did they have Albie's dumbass take her to the airport only for him to drop her off at the door? Judging from Jacqueline's comment to him, asking him to "call her once she gets past security" meant that he was supposed to park his car and WALK WITH HER through her baggage check, to security and then to her terminal. Why this lazy ass fool just drop Ashley's dumbass at the door KNOWING how dumb she is, is beyond me. Then he's going to have the nerve to have this dumbfounded look on his face when Chris was like "it was partially your fault". UMM YES because them having you take Ashley to the airport was the whole point in getting her on that plane. Instead Albie's like "well she is 20, how doesn't she know how to get on a plane". Dummy, they know she's 20 but she's a dumb 20, that's why they ASKED YOU, someone they thought had sense enough to put her dumbass on the plane.

So I saw Jacqueline on WWHL, and I'm sorry but I still don't have a clear understanding of why she didn't do the reunion for last season. She said she explained in her long ass blog on the Bravo site, I read it, guess what, still confused.

Ashley.

Lord. This child.

and all this new hypochondriacal BS I'm not buying for a New York minute. Now you scared of heights, spiders, plains trains& automobiles? Girl, please. Anything to try and to freeloading off of her parents

Girl I'm with you on this one. I thought all of that was straight up BS. But do you know that Jacqueline has the nerve to go on her blog on the Bravo site explaining how all of these "reactions" from Ashley were true? Even going as far as explaining bit by bit what actually happened when she was leaving? Girl shut up! Kicking her ass out was the best thing for that brat and it should had been done as soon as she turned 18. Hell let's make that 16. In all fairness, I will say that Ashley's bratty behavior wasn't 100% her fault though, Jacqueline and Chris both contributed to it as well, so they have no one but themselves to blame for her "bad behavior".

Basketball Wives:

Royce's daddy is right; she needs to slow her ass down and think about her baby son first and foremost and quit chasing after all these young boys trying to land a husband.

And Lawd, these broads actually are trying to blame Jen as the troublemaker because she's pressing charges against someone assaulting her How stupid are you people? She told you, literally told you fools by written letter that if someone hit her durimng the filming of this show (as you banshees are so easily apt to do) she was dealing with the person not with hands, but with the law. Jeezus. Other than that, it was good to see Eveyln act like a normal person (in her scene with Chad), and can someone please explain why Kenya's make-up look like something from the set of Thriller Oh, and there shouldn't be a snowball's chance in hell that Jennifer would truly consider going on the annual "Girls Trip", that is just a disaster waiting to happen. Shoot, she better concentrate on making her money and going to Tahiti by her damned self .

EP. 11

Basketball Wives

In the meantime, Star Jones is not feeling the idea being perpetuated on the show that chicks can just run around hauling off and smacking the hell out of each other, and that there are no repercussions for these actions:

Star Jones Declares War on Basketball Wives: Calls Sisters to Stand Up Against the Show

by Staff, YourBlackWorld.net

Star Jones has had enough with Basketball Wives and is launching a campaign against it. After seeing recent episodes where women such as Evelyn Lozada have been fighting (with Evelyn climbing across the table to attack a woman), Jones says that it’s time to turn the corner on the destructive nature of the show.

Jones has this to say about the matter:

“...And the thought that the woman from #BBW who was smacked doesn’t have the RIGHT to file assault charges is LUDICROUS! You NEVER give up your right not to have your ‘person’ intentionally assaulted unless you are participating in an agreed physical activity,” Star went on to write.

Star Jones Declares War o...lack World

[Edited 5/2/12 2:52am]

Yeah I read this article about Star Jones and damn she is right though...although I wonder if the only reason why she's speaking out and targeting "Basketball Wives" in particular is because her ex-hubby has been on it? Ulterior motives anyone?

Yeah I felt it was assbackwards for Nia, Tami and Evelyn to be talking about how Jen should had "fought" Nia instead of fighting her in the courts. They all looked so ignorant. And for Evelyn to say what she said about how she's 36 and instead of acting like how a normal person would think a 36 year old woman would act, she's going FIGHT instead. Wow, you just dumbed yourself down a few notches.

And yes, I totally got what Royce's daddy was saying, why she didn't is beyond me. That whole act wasn't appealing either, she just made a total ass out of herself out in public. I wonder how she feels now with her watching herself on these episodes acting a fool over a dude who really wasn't even worth it. That's why you don't put dick ahead of your kids.

Then next week we see Tami reeling it in again with Keisha because apparently Keisha will be running her mouth again, lawd knows what about. Urgh. I find it baffling how busted Tami used to look when she was a "newbie" on the show and now she acting like she hot shit. I really need to stop watching this shit because it's sad to see a bunch of dumbass women on the tube acting like they don't have no sense just to get some dollars in their bank account.

Glad its not just me. I can't keep up with what's happening. I thought she had a good husband.

Teresa is clearly in a very very dark and lonely place right now.

Her husband's a fucking jerk.

She's going to have to find another coping mechanism for watching things fall around her than just picking imaginary fights with people that's she's taken imaginary offense to.

Ashley needs to have her porn star looking behind shipped to one of those islands where they make bad kids chop wood, eat gruel for nourishment and sleep in houses made of cow dung. I don't know hopw shipping a spoiled ass party girl brat to LAS VEGAS is going to reign her ass in, but i guess it's the best they could do. I'm curious where that storyline will go because around the time this was filming, Ashley had dyed her hair back to Brunette, moved to LA and got an apartment, and started her own website proudly posting pics of her new apartment (including the actual blueprint layout of the place which my nosy ass pointed out to both her and her mom online that that was a security risk and to remove it), and of course it had the standard internet pics of her paryting around LA with her new friends. That chile is a mess and the only reason why I see them not cutting her off completely is because her dumb ass seems like the type that would end up doing porn or hitting the drug scene if they couldn't find a way (money) to keep her close to home.

Caroline: you gettin' old, heffa.

So let her stupid ass do it! That's probably what her selfish, self-absorbed, moronic ass needs, to hit rock bottom so she can finally look the fuck up. Like I've said before, Jacqueline has had some hand in this bitch's behavior and is why I don't feel one bit sorry for none they asses.

I have to get caught up on the Beverly Johnson show. All I know about her is that she was the first black supermodel and she used to be engaged to Chris Noth of SATC and Law&Order fame.

I find it strange that his current baby momma/fiance looks like a young Beverly Johnson.

RHONJ

Poor Teresa. It isn't a good look to have a low forehead/hairline AND be stupid.

is her 1st cousin once removed. Although he might be a bit smarter that Teresa. Lawd, that is one stupid broad but she tries not to look it but just ends up confirming it. It's sad.

I have to agree with Starkitty...I was watching Bethenny's show but I've missed the past few weeks on purpose because I get sick of them arguing over minor shit. It's almost like two good people got together and next thing you know she was knocked up, engaged, married, a mommy then a millionaire all within a 2 year time span. So I guess now what is happening is that they are finally learning and truly getting to know each other for who they both are. From what I read online, the issue now is that Jason doesn't feel "manly" since his wife makes more than him, which seems like a normal theme with men, but I mean what do you do? Either you find a way to deal or you shut down.

If I remember correctly, he's in Finance...one of those corporate Wall Street Wizard kind of dudes. When they met he was definitely making more money than her and owned his own condo, which, with prices being as they are in Manhattan is no small feat by any stretch of the imagination. Jason is the classic "catch" of a man. But Fee is so right that these 2 basically went through 10 years worth of life milestones within less than 24 months. Plus they've had 3 house residence sales/moves between them (Jason selling his place/or at least vacating it to move into the Tribeca place, Bethenny selling the current Tribeca apartment, and now buying/demolishing/rennovating the new multi-million dollar pad). All this is a lot ...then on top these two were barely 6 months into the relationship when all this snowballed. These kids didn't know anything about each other except that they were in lub . Without taking the time to get to know each other beforehand it was a recipe for disaster from the start.

Still when you look at everything they have? Career, check. Financial security needs met. Home and creature comforts, check. Physical security needs met. Family, check. A a happy, healthy baby growing up nicely, so "some" emotional security needs met. But what's missing from their pyramid of needs is in the emotional and psychological department. Since they did all of this kinda out of order it seems like it's making it that much harder for them to go back and do all this remedial study of each other and figure each other out. What's also missing is a common spiritual core or purpose. That's always helpful in getting a couple on the same page in terms cracking down on selfishness and strengthening teamwork skills. It also helps you develop an action plan for combating stress and crisis, and knowing how to use words for each other and not against each other. The one consistent problem I see all the time with these two (after everybody screaming "I, I, I, ME, ME, ME" all the time) is that they are always talkin' reckless and greazy to each other. Just because the words are wrapped in dry wit or psycho-babble doesn't make them any less painful, impure or damaging. Both Bethenny and Jason really need to work on their mouths, for real

the hairline keeps getting lower because they have to make sure they cover allll the grey at the root and so they paint it down more and it stains.
