Recap: Real Housewives of New York, The Diet Pills and Vodka Edition

Tonight’s “Real Housewives of New York” episode starts with the end of the big fight between Aviva and Carol that we saw start last week at Aviva’s housewarming party. Aviva is “deranged” and Carol is professionally offended. The phrase “character defamation” gets used tonight. Um hmm… that’s what I was thinking too. Reality check for

Recap: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Liar And Hypocrite Edition

What the hell was tonight’s reunion all about? I agree with hundreds of Tweets suggesting this “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion should have been an hour and a half tops. I was bored before they got through the whole eat-healthy-and-exercise segment they opened with. And what was that anyway? Was it the only way

Recap: WEtv’s ‘Marriage Boot Camp,’ The Flat-Out Hater Edition

Sometimes I’m not sure exactly where to start my blogs about show likes WEtv’s “Marriage Boot Camp.” As both a happily married woman (almost 10 years now) and a reality television survivor (it’s not the first rodeo for any of these couples either, “Bridezillas” got them on here), I find myself both horrified and appalled

Divergent Review

Shailene Woodley is woman of the hour about now. She stars in Divergent one of the most anticipated youth market film franchises since The Hunger Games which is resembles and she’s in all three films of the trilogy. Woodley is the charismatic lead in this book based tween sci-fi extravaganza, so she’s sitting in cream.

The Muppets Most Wanted Review

The Muppets are irresistible, no matter if you’re a film snob, part of the young male demographic, a grandparent or a genre fan. The films are that good. The talented people behind the films, the guest stars and scripts and Muppet touches are magical, consistently and fulsomely. But there is another thing that keeps them

Nymphomaniac, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 Review

Inflammatory subject matter, big Hollywood stars and a controversial director collide to create Nymphomaniac, a detailed character study of a sex addict from birth to age 50 that will challenge movie goers as few films have in recent years. It screened at Cannes and word on unsimulated sex and violence precedes it. Do not take

Recap: ‘The Real Housewives of New York,’ Pick Her Brain Edition

I am fascinated. BravoTV just managed to make an entire episode of Real Housewives of New York about one topic: #BookGate. And it worked. Thousands (maybe millions?) of viewers were tweeting about it. Including me. Excellent social media marketing BravoTV!

Handicapping the RealityWanted 2014 Awards, Some Deep Thoughts

So I got this press release about the RealityWanted 2014 Awards and my curiosity was piqued. For about 11 seconds, til I realized my show wasn’t nominated. Boohiss! That’s okay, I rose above it because I couldn’t resist the urge to go through the list of nominees and tell you who I think should win

Recap: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, 100 Percent Chemical-Free Edition

“I say stupid things a lot” could have been the title of tonight’s “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” Reunion Part 1 because Brandi was right, half of what comes out of her mouth makes me want to smack her. Even funnier was her admission “I tell everyone everything unless they tell me not to.” Duh.

Recap: ‘Marriage Boot Camp’ over-beveraged and divorce court

There wasn’t very much funny on “Marriage Boot Camp” Friday night. However, Julian taught me a new word. He wasn’t drunk. He’d been “over-beveraged.” Bahahaha… I’ve heard of over-served, but that’s a new one. And that’s where the humor stopped. So every episode of WEtv’s “Marriage Boot Camp” they do a couple of exercises led
