Kathy Griffin has a new show on Bravo, Thursday nights at 10, and it is wicked funny. She had regular people guests on rather than celebrities and the girl from Mississippi, Tiffany's roommate, was adorable. (Side note: we're typing this on an iPhone and the autocorrect is bananas.) Kathy discussed all the usual pop culture fun and turned us on to a great new guilty pleasure on vh1: Couples Therapy. If you haven't seen it yet, dvr that shit now. It's totally an amazeballs train pulling into dysfunction junction.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion continued tonight with a whole lot of back and forth about nothing. Everyone continued to scream on and on about the african baby saga and no one brought up what broke these girls up in the first place - the damn song! Andy asked about it but didn't press for an answer. Ever since season whatever, in which Kim was going to sing the song with Nene, and then she decided to sing it on her own....shit. was. on. Nene acted like she didn't care that she wasn't on the song, and then Kandi acted like she didn't care all that much that Kim didn't pay her for producing the song, and Kim has never been held responsible for her behavior. She can't sing to save her life and would never have had a hit if Kandi had not produced it. The song was successful because Kandi's track is beyond catchy and that woman is a brilliant producer, yet Kim kept all the proceeds. That is some bullshit, to quote the ladies of the ATL. To add insult to injury, the song is now the theme song to Kim's spin-off show, Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding. Not that we're keeping score (we are) but Kim has now wronged Nene, who got her on the show, and Kandi, who made her wealthy. Careful, honey, karma is a bitch.
One of our favorite actresses, Loretta Devine, was on Andy Cohen's show, Watch What Happens Live, and he asked her what advice she had for Nene Leakes now that Nene is in the acting world. Loretta said, "Oh God, stop talkin' about money because real actresses know how much you make." Loved it! Loretta was awesome in 'Waiting To Exhale' and she's perfect on 'The Client List' and is a highly respected actress and we hope Miss Nene will take her advice. A role on 'Glee' does not a fortune make, Boo.
The Real Housewives of Orange County is better than ever with the addition of Heather Dubrow into the mix. Heather is a nice Jewish girl from New York turned Hollywood Actress/Stay At Home Mom. Despite being married to a plastic surgeon, she is the most natural of all the OC ladies. Speaking of plastic surgery, Tamra Barney had her big, giant trailer park breast implants removed and her BFF, Vicki, was such a bitch about it. And what is up with Vicki's new boyfriend, Brooks?! He is total ugh and a big downgrade from Don Gunvalson, not to mention he is a little too interested in Vicki and Don's divorce settlement. Dude! It's none of your business! Back to plastic surgery - Alexis! She is a mess. After her nose job, she is one step closer to being an actual barbie doll. She had a gorgeous face, but now it's just generic and whatever. After their house was foreclosed on, one would think Alexis and her creepy husband would think twice about spending a fortune on plastic surgery, but they both went out and had extensive and very expensive work done. Brilliant.
It has been a crazy-ass long time since we've visited and we sure have missed y'all. It has been 7 years since we started this little family in a high-rise in Miami and Dear Lord, so much has changed. Miami is now Connecticut. Our evenings of cocktails and cigarettes have been replaced with Diet Coke and nicotine gum. Hours on the phone with my friends have been replaced with texts and facebook. Blogging is now cool again in a retro way, like neon and scrunchies (neither of which we condone, btw), and we have the itch, bitch. Becoming a mother has made us a gentler and kinder blogger but somewhere inside we still have the snark. Let's bring it out.
