Cindy Barshop Might Be Leaving ‘Real Housewives of New York City.’ I mean… seriously?

It’s that time again! That time when rumors swirl over possible cast changes on a Real Housewives franchise. Gossip spread over the Internets today that Cindy Barshop will be leaving the Real Housewives of New York City after having nary saying a word during most of the reunion taping (which occurred last week) or speaking …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NYC PHOTOCAP: Party Time, Excellent!

Not a lot of drama (or ANY, for that matter) on the latest episode of Real Housewives of New York City, but that’s okay because the hour served as an amusing trifle of sorts. It all centered on parties: Sweet Sixteens for Avery and Victoria and a surprise bash for Jill. In the midst of …

HOUSEWIFE HOEDOWN, Episode 25: All About LuAnn

Video streaming by Ustream We taped a special Friday episode of Housewife Hoedown this week, and of course we just had to spend the bulk of our time talking about LuAnn and Alex from The Real Housewives of New York City. Of course, we covered much more, including New Jersey and a smidgen of O.C. …

Meet The Next Food Network Stars!

It’s summer time, which means we’re already three episodes deep into one of my favorite reality shows ever, Food Network Star (née The Next Food Network Star). So far this seventh (!) season has been pretty excellent, but could we really expect anything less from something involving the inimitable Susie Fogelson? The cast is wide …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTOCAP: Teresa Talks with Gorgas, No Brawls Ensue

After several weeks of build-up, Teresa Giudice finally came face to face with her estranged brother Joe on this week’s episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey, and the results were… well… not explosive, but… emotional? It was actually a rather intense discussion, with both sides airing out grievances. They went tit for tat, with …

Raphael in Studio City Reminds Us That There Really Is Sophistication in The Valley

There’s a general rule of thumb when it comes to Los Angeles: this side of the hills is good, and that side is bad. And by “that side,” I mean the San Fernando Valley, home of strip malls, the porn industry, and the iconic “Valley girl.” Of course, strip malls, porn, and Valley girls all …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NYC PHOTOCAP: Taking ‘Alex Class’ with the Countess

This week’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York City was ostensibly about Sonja Morgan’s dwindling empire (much like Teresa Giudice, she faces a multi-million dollar debt), but let’s be real: all that mattered was the wonderful fight between Alex and LuAnn at the end of the show. The rest of the stuff was …

My First Ever Manicure, Courtesy of ‘The Nail Files’

As some of you may know, my friend Katie has landed herself a full-on reality show called The Nail Files on the TV Guide Channel, and guess what? It premieres tomorrow night! The series revolves around Katie and her nail salon, The Painted Nail, and in an attempt to get the word out, TV Guide …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ PHOTOCAP: Melissa Sings, Gia Tumbles

There was a definitely lack of drama on this week’s Real Housewives of New Jersey episode, but I still found the show immensely watchable, thanks to the tension brimming in the Gorga family. Unlike previous installments of this season, this week was less “crazy/funny” and more “sad/depressing.” It was all about family, and we got …

HOUSEWIFE HOEDOWN, Episode 24: OC Reunion, Morocco, and The Gorgas

Video streaming by Ustream We had yet another super fun episode of Housewife Hoedown today, thanks mainly to the wonderful material provided by the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion. We spent the bulk of the time talking about that, but we also tended to our ladies of the Tri-State Area, specifically New York City …
