REAL HOUSEWIVES OF OC PHOTOCAP: A Shot At Forgiveness

Hey, did you hear about Tamra? Apparently she owes Vicki an apology! This was the big lesson we learned on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. The two women headed down to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico to mend the wounds they had inflicted on each other last year. Actually, it was more like a chance for Tamra to grovel to Vicki because as you may or may not remember, Tamra said some pretty nasty things about Vicki behind her back last year. Of course, I’m sure Vicki said equally vile things, but I guess she didn’t really get caught, which is why she had the supposed moral high ground in the situation. And boy did she run with it. Vicki spent the entire Mexican vacation lording Tamra’s sins over her head. Whether they were doing shots or eating Caesar salad, Vicki found some way to remind Tamra of her backstabbing ways. It was actually obnoxious (what a surprise) and tacky, but these women are from Orange County. Can we expect anything less?

Ina Garten Does A GOOD Deed

LAME. Ina Garten caved into peer pressure. After having whipped up stiff peaks of controversy last week by not visiting a Make-A-Wish boy, Ina has now agreed to call little cancer-stricken Enzo. And here you all thought she was a heartless beast. Clearly she just wanted to vet out Enzo first, much as she does with eggs. You never know when you’ll get a BAD cancer child!

To read more about Ina’s change of heart, check out the story here.

COMMENT OF THE WEEK: 3/21/11 – 3/27/11

In an effort to promote further activity on the site and community building and all that fun stuff, Iâ€™ve decided to introduce a Comment of the Week feature that will highlight some of the best and funniest contributions by you, my dear readers. Whoever is selected will have his or her quote featured on the sidebar for a whole week (oooooh!!) and will thus be able to use those bragging rights in whatever manner seems appropriate.

This weekâ€™s choice:

“Vicki â€“ still hitting all the uggh notes â€“ No speakie the Spanish? Ok, bitch, how about just asking the foreman to translate. I do not speak Spanish very well at all, but you bet your truffle hunting face I would not be doing the pigeon spanish shit at them. Those bannisters can be â€œfixedâ€ to go while you duck walk your always working ass down the stairs, you heiffa.” — LAC on REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Time For A Hoâ€™ Bath

Congrats, LAC. You get bragging rights for the week!

“poor little Enzo will never know the true beauty of the stamens of crocuses now. Damn you Ina!” — Zoobabe on 10 Reasons Why INA GARTEN IS NOT A MONSTER

10 Reasons Why INA GARTEN IS NOT A MONSTER

The interwebs are abuzz over a story that beloved domestic goddess Ina Garten has refused adamantly to meet with a Make A Wish child named Enzo. The kid, who suffers from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, reportedly wanted to cook with Ina, but his request was denied two years in a row, the second time with a firm “definite no.” As a result, all the wags and rags are basically calling Ina a monster, but being the faithful fan that I am, I am here to defend the Barefoot Contessa’s honor.

Here are ten reasons why Ina is totally justified in her actions.

Martha Stewart Shows Off Her Ass on ‘The Fabulous Beekman Boys’

I seriously think I have to start watching The Fabulous Beekman Boys. I don’t know why I’m not already DVRing it. In this preview clip from next week’s show, the guys head to Martha Stewart’s Katonah estate to deliver some goats. Snarky observations about her barn ensue. They had me at “lemons.”

(If nothing else, enjoy watching the really cute goats and donkeys)

Inside the Nylon Magazine 12th Anniversary Party

Nylon Magazine celebrated its twelfth anniversary tonight with a big ol’ bash at Tru in Hollywood, a swanky new club that hasn’t even opened to the public. I headed on over to the event with my friend Julia (sadly, the lovely Phamtastic was out of town and couldn’t join us), and even though it was unseasonably cold out, I knew things would be ever so hot inside, mostly because Kyle Richards from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was just two feet behind me as I walked in the door. Yes, I had hit the pop culture sweet spot with this party, and by the end of the evening I had taken photos with stars of the holy trinity of TV shows: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The City, and Gossip Girl… Continue reading “Inside the Nylon Magazine 12th Anniversary Party”

Nene Leakes Has Not So Kind Words For Star Jones

Nene Leakes went on Ellen and happily tore apart her Celebrity Apprentice co-star, Star Jones. The funny thing is that this was Nene holding back. Can’t wait to see the women butt heads later this season…

Thanks for the heads up, Phamtastic!

Gucci Mane Discusses His Ice Cream Cone Tattoo

Skip to the 1:40 mark.

I don’t care much about Gucci Mane gossip, but ever since he got that ridiculous ice cream cone tattoo on his face, I’ve been wondering what the hell had inspired him to do such a thing. Well, now we have an answer. In the video above from FreddyO.com, Gucci Mane describes the motivation behind the tattoo to an Atlanta radio show. His reasoning makes sense I suppose, but I still want to know why an ice cream cone? Of all the things to express his message, was an ice cream cone really his best option?

What alternatives would you have proposed for Gucci Mane?

‘Real Housewives of DC’ Cancelled?

Rumors are swirling that the much maligned Real Housewives of DC has been cancelled by Bravo. The series underperformed ratings-wise, and many view it as the weakest of all the Housewives installments (although, I still contend that it wasn’t that bad, and the reunion was rather epic). A source close to the action told Radaronline.com that “The show just didn’t do well and it wasn’t worth airing another season… The D.C. housewives were meant to be starting shooting their second season now and they haven’t heard a peep from Bravo… No one from the cast has been contacted yet and told that the show is cancelled.”

Bravo has stated that no decision has been made, but as rumors go, this one isn’t too hard to believe. I always suspected the only reason the series made it to air was because Bravo just happened to have been documenting the Salahis during their infamous White House party-crashing. Still, while the show lacked the tackiness and feuds of every other city, there was plenty of non-Salahi-related silliness to keep up entertained. Lest we forget Cat and her propensity for uncomfortable encounters or Stacie and her love for Tyra Banks. And how about all those strange names: LOLLY? EBONG?? INBOX FULL???? I’m not saying D.C. was wonderful, but it certainly has a lot more going for it than Miami.

Don’t count the ladies out just yet, Andy Cohen. Give them one more shot!

(After all, if you’re going to bring back crap like Million Dollar Listing every year, why not roll the dice on these women?)
