Bethenny Ever After Recap: Butt Shapers, Bumpy Rides, and Broken Buses

by Mary on May 3rd, 2011

On last night’s episode of Bethenny Ever After, Christmas was celebrated, Skating With the Stars finally came to an end, and Skinnygirl reached the first stop on its big bus tour.

Bethenny starts out the day doing something millions of moms wish they could do: have their “Coordinator of Chaos”, Julie deal with the baby while they sleep in. Aaaahhh… lifestyles of the Bravo funded reality stars: Malibu lives on Downtown LA budgets. Immediately after hopping out of bed Bethenny pimps her new Skinnygirl Shapewear line by showing off her fake Kim Kardashian butt and prancing around the living room bending over and sticking out her prosthetic booty in front of her sexually harassed skating partner Ethan Burgess and poor, abused Julie and Dawa. Bethenny decides she’s to going hide how much weight she lost skating by pretending she earned her juicy booty the hard way by, you know, eating something instead of pulling on a pair of padded panties. When husband Jason Hoppy arrives, he’s not sure which is more exciting: the beach house or her new butt (which he totally believed appeared overnight??), until Bethenny burst his bubble by letting him know it was just another product placement for a Skinnygirl line she’s hawking and that sadly he’s stuck with her real butt. Oh well, better luck next time J!

Dancing With The Stars Recap: Ralph Macchio Shines, Kirstie Alley Breaks

by Reality Tea on May 3rd, 2011

It was a busy Monday night on Dancing With The Stars as the stars not only had to do their regular dances, but also a group number. Add in an extra guest judge in the form of undefeated world professional Latin dance champion Donnie Burns, and it was a night of suspense!

Following weeks of being in the middle of the pack, actor Ralph Macchio broke away last night. Ralph found his dancing mojo and tied for first place with a score of 36 for his sharp quickstep with partner Karina Smirnoff. The pair received major praises from the judges. “Once you are in the zone, you sell it like no one else can,” said judge Bruno Tonioli. With a score of 30 for their group number, Ralph and Karina finished the night with a total score of 66.

Also tying for first place with a score of 36 is NFL player Hines Ward, who continues to show he is a front runner in the competition. With the group number factored in, Hines also scored a total of 66 for the night.

Tying for last place were Kirstie Alley and Romeo, both receiving a total score of 60 for the night. Kirstie continues to struggle and even had a minor breakdown during one of her rehearsals with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Kirstie 60, broke down in tears when Maksim told her to “stop talking” during a practice. “I need a break!” snapped Kirstie. “You scream and jump around and I’m frustrated.”

The duo however quickly made up and even ended their lively jive dance with a spontaneous kiss.

Below is the leaderboard. In parentheses are the total scores from last night including the group number -

Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff: 36 (66)
Hines Ward & Kym Johnson: 36 (66)
Chelsea Kane & Mark Ballas: 34 (64)
Kendra Wilkinson & Louis van Amstel: 31 (61)
Kirstie Alley & Maks Chmerkovskiy: 30 (60)
Romeo & Chelsie Hightower: 30 (60)

And tonight, another star will be sent packing. So the question is…

Real Housewives of OC Recap: Dinner Party from Hell, Orange County Style (Less Clairvoyance, More Tears)

by Lauren on May 2nd, 2011

Sunday night’s Real Housewives of the O.C. focused on Peggy and Micah’s dinner party and w(h)ine pairings. Tamra and Vicki added a new “mean girl” to their clique in the form of Donn, Gretchen dodged digs aimed at an absent Slade, Alexis spent the evening crying (and lying!), while Peggy sat back and wondered why her dinner party was so full of drama. (Peggy, here’s a hint– check out your guest list).

The episode begins with delicious looking food preparation. Oh look! It’s Mary Sue Milliken of this season’s Top Chef Masters! Subtle, Bravo. Peggy Tanous and her husband Micah are diligently watching over the people who are actually setting up and decorating for their dinner party. The two spend a lot of time name-dropping high end clothing, watches, and cars while getting ready together.

Slade Smiley’s child support woes have just become headlines in the O.C. (I had to remind myself that it was filmed several months ago), and Gretchen has given up her usual grating laugh for near tears as she explains the “real story” to her hairdresser. Not surprisingly we discover that Slade won’t be attending the dinner because he’ll be at home ~~painting naked~~ spending time with his children.

PHOTOS – Kelly Bensimon Shows Off Bikini Body! Plus Bethenny Frankel Talks Former Nanny Gina

by Reality Tea on May 2nd, 2011

Real Housewives of New York City ~~attention whore~~ star Kelly Bensimon celebrated her 43rd birthday twice in recent days!

First Kelly celebrated with a party at the TAO Nightclub at the Venetian on Thursday and then with a pool party the next day at the Tao Beach in Las Vegas, Nevada. The mom of two, who posed for Playboy over a year ago, showed off her crazy toned bikini body while sporting a purple print two-piece! More bikini photos of Kelly below.

In other news, Bethenny Frankel took to her Bravo blog last week and made some comments about her former nanny Gina, who quit on the most recent episode to focus on her health. In her blog post, Bethenny also talks new nanny Dawa and gives an update on Gina’s health. Excerpts from Bethenny’s blog is below -

“There’s a new nanny in town, and she brings peace to my home. Dawa, as we both identically pronounced, is the opposite of Gina. She is quiet, shy, respectful, a light eater, and she never talks on the phone nor does she watch TV.

I love me some Gina, and her health is good now by the way, but we needed to transition into a mellow nanny. Most importantly, Dawa, like Gina, loves my baby Bryn and everything is going smoothly. Feeling comfortable with child care is peace of mind.

I’m very organized, or try to be. In the home, and with a baby, that is next to impossible. Nevertheless, I keep trying. Dawa being able to blow dry my hair is an extra added bonus. Truthfully, I’ve only had her do it twice. My hair is usually in a ponytail or a clip. It’s good to know she’s there in a pinch.”

A new episode of Bethenny Ever After airs tonight on Bravo at 10/9c.

Mob Wives Recap: A Mob Bust and the Realest B*tch You Know

by Mary on May 2nd, 2011

Last night’s episode of Mob Wives was, again, about how life when you are part of the “the underworld” isn’t just about the glitz and the glamor, as Renee Graziano’s ex-husband (who is also her son AJ’s father) was arrested in a major FBI bust. Drita D’avanzo had more concerns about her husband’s sentence, and Karen Gravano began coming to terms with and exploring her feelings about her upbringing. Carla Faccilo was, as Nene Leakes likes to say: “Casper the Ghost” this episode because, yeah she was practically invisible. What an emotional episode this was – highs and lows galore, a total emotional roller coaster. As my mother said: “I feel like I need an anti-depressant after watching these broads.” Snark obviously runs in our family.

There was a lot of build up in the first part of the show until we finally got to the part all the previews were throwing in our faces: the FBI arrests! I waited on the edge of my seat for the juicy part and, yeah… it was pretty much a let down. The most we got to see of any FBI action was Renee crying in her kitchen about the arrests and the ladies showing CNN news footage. Foiled again by the infamous preview hype! It was nice that there was a significantly fewer number of bleeps so we could actually understand what they were saying to each other, though.

Preview The Bad Girls Club Reunion: Everybody Hates Char!

by Reality Tea on May 2nd, 2011

Just like that, the sixth season of the Bad Girls Club is over with the first part of the reunion airing tonight.

Perez Hilton returns as host of the “Bad Girls Club Reunion Special,” to once again take the reigns as the feisty females return to Los Angeles to dish on the drama and gossip from their season. The first part of the two-part reunion special airs on Oxygen at 9/8c with the second part airing next Monday, May 9 at 9/8c.

CLICK HERE TO READ ALL ABOUT CHAR’S SCANDALOUS PAST!

“I’m back! I may be nicer, but the girls are just as bad as ever! And it takes a real lady, like me, to keep them all in check at the reunion special! You won’t wanna miss it!” said Perez Hilton. “Oh, and tune in to see what I did that makes Tanisha wanna hurt me – badly – for real!”

Throughout this season, the house had been divided between Char’s minions and Nikki & Lauren. However, towards the end of the season, those alliances started to crumble. Have tensions eased since the girls have been away? Is anyone still speaking to Nikki? And what did Perez do to make Tanisha Thomas so mad? All those questions will be answered in the special two-part reunion.

Meanwhile, casting for season eight of “Bad Girls Club” is currently underway while Oxygen will give viewers a sneak peak of season seven — “Bad Girls Club: New Orleans” during the second part of reunion on May 9. Bad Girls Club: New Orleans is set to debut this summer on Oxygen.

A preview clip of tonight’s reunion is below!

Celebrity Apprentice Recap: The Wrath of Nene Leakes, Hope Gets Fired

by Reality Tea on May 2nd, 2011

On last night’s episode of the Celebrity Apprentice, it was Nene vs Star take, oh who’s keeping count! The two ladies butted heads once again, well actually it was more of the Nene verbally attacking yet another person on national television, while Star just attempted to keep her ~~distance~~ cool.

The episode begins with Nene Leakes still reeling over the elimination of her new BFF La Toya Jackson. You know, the same person she verbally attacked a few weeks ago and the same person she helped send packing. Nene is upset at Star Jones as she feels Star is manipulative aka playing the game, something the Nene clearly doesn’t know how to do.

The task is to produce a live hair show using Biosilk and Chi products, with the winning project manager getting $40,000 for their charity of choice. Donald Trump wants to know who will be PM for the women’s team and Nene immediately volunteers. Okay, all is well. Not! Almost immediately, the Nene loses her cool as she reveals the only reason she’s PM is because Star told her to be. Evidently, she has to do whatever Star says, and even more interesting, asking someone to be a PM in the game of the Apprentice equals fighting words!

UPDATE – Preview the Real Housewives of OC, Plus Why Jim Left The Show!

by Reality Tea on May 1st, 2011

When it comes to Bravo Housewives, a dinner party only means one thing: drama!

Tonight’s all new episode of the Real Housewives of Orange County is filled with nothing but drama during the OC version of the ‘dinner from hell.’

On the 9th episode this season titled “Whine Pairings,” Peggy and Micah throwing their annual dinner party and hire celebrity chef Susan Feniger to cater the event. Tamra’s new boyfriend, Eddie, meets the ladies for the first time. During the party, Alexis causes a scene and flees the table, leaving Peggy livid and Donn is shocked by Vicki’s comment to the group about wishing they had started their own family together.

The episode airs at 10/9c on Bravo and a preview clip is below.

Watch What Happens Live – Tonight’s guests are Alexis Bellino and news personality Willie Geist.

TELL US – THOUGHTS ON THE PREVIEW & TONIGHT’S NEW EPISODE OF THE OC HOUSEWIVES?

UPDATE - It seems Jim’s absence from Peggy’s dinner from hell is not an accident. If you recall, Alexis told E! News right before the premiere of season 6 that her hubby Jim Bellino had quit the show. And while Jim appeared on the first couple of episodes this season, he has barely been shown in the recent episodes. Back then Alexis cited Jim wasn’t happy with the “jerk” edit Bravo gave him, and in one of her recent Bravo blogs, Alexis reveals Jim decided to film much less following their trip to San Diego.

“Many of you are inquiring why I’m not on the show much the past two episodes. I think I know why. It might be because of the fact that my husband decided to film less after the San Diego trip,” blogged Alexis last month. It’s safe to assume Jim caught wind that he would be getting the “jerk edit” once again based on the questions Bravo asked Alexis during her interview about the trip, hence his reason to film less. But hey, if the title of a controlling douchey husband fits…
