SIDEBAR: Trial Talk

sidebar2Hey trial watchers, I try to start a new thread whenever the old one falls off the link list on the left, and the last one has.  I love the discussion here about any and all trials you guys are interested in. I know new stuff keeps happening with Jodi Arias, and now there is this missing baby case which may turn out to be another Casey Anthony trial. Also, I think we could probably talk about jury selection here for the Zimmerman case, I think we are all reasonable people here. One of the things I love about the crowd I have drawn is that it is very eclectic. Just like me. I have readers from so many countries, ethnicities, religions, races, and sexual preferences. On of my commenters said to me a while back “as the only lesbian here….” and I laughed. I should not have, it’s just that I actually know people to comment here (some of them) in real life. I assure you that you are probably not the only….anything. Not the only Jew or Muslim, or gay or bisexual, or Italian or Hispanic. Continue reading »

WWHL WIth Lydia McLaughlin and Kristen Johnston

WWHLLydia’s mother is the bartender. I can only guess the amount of restocking that will require when she leaves. She brought fairy dust. Lydia’s mom was BFF’s with Stevie Nicks in High School.

New week after the finale, all the couples will be on WWHL to update us. YAY!

Andy plays three little clips from Lydia’s childhood career as a Canadian new reporter. Cute. Lydia is really cute on this show. She is totally growing on me. I think she was just nervous when she started on the OC. Continue reading »

Newlyweds the First Year Recap

newtinatarzThe Newlyweds start off with sad news. Tina was briefly pregnant and had a miscarriage. Tina is incredibly depressed and nervous that she can’t have a baby. Tarz is trying to supportive and Tina continues to say that their baby died. Tina is pissed at Tarz because he isn’t emotional enough over the miscarriage. Tina’s Dad has a girlfriend. Tarzina is meeting the dad and his girlfriend, Heather for dinner. She’s blond and white and younger than him. Tina’s dad is smiling!!! And kissing her bare shoulders. And making out at the table. Like full on making out. Heather is a nurse with four children. I  cannot stress enough how full on these two are hardcore making out. They announce they are talking about getting married and maybe having a child. Heather is sort of a twat. She says she has more life experience and says “how many children have you raised” to a couple that just had a miscarriage. Nice.

Alaska is mad a Kim because she took $700 out of their joint account without asking him. Kim puts here money in her business account and still spends out of the joint account that she doesn’t contribute to. Alaska goes to meet with his father who was somewhat abusive and very strict when he was growing up. He is more mellow now. While Kim and Alaska make dinner. Alaska creates a lovely floral arrangement. I think Alaska’s family is Haitian and Kim is trying to learn to cook Alaska’s favorite foods that his mother would make. Family dinner goes very well. Alaska is headed back to the west coast again with no defined return date. No wait, it is a surprise honeymoon trip to Mexico. Kim is so excited.

Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Let’s Dance

RHOOCallTonight on the Real Housewives of Orange County, Lydia is having a salsa dance party and Heather really doesn’t want to go if Alexis is going (she is). Lydia has gotten the two to agree to sit down and talk things out. Meanwhile, Tamra and Vicki are talking about Heather. How things have changed in just a few episodes.

Heather and Alexis meet at a tea shop. I would think these two talking alone could do so without drama. I would be wrong. Heather is very defensive. Alexis says that Heather talks down to people. Heather says she always wants to talk about who has wronged her. They each agree to be civil in the future and then both openly doubt the other will follow through. So. um. Yay? Continue reading »

WWHL With Melissa Gorga And Tabitha Takes Over!

WWHLI am sooo tired. If this WWHL episode gets good I may save my recap until tomorrow but here we go. Andy throws some shade at Kanye West to begin the father’s day show so it is live. And Tabatha Coffee is there.

Joe Gorga shaved his head and posted a “sexy pic” on Instagram. Melissa wants to clear something up right away. She did let her kids stay for cake. However, can I just say that Melissa does not look her best? Is the hair stylist still on vacay? She practically has the top of her head pulled back in a scrunchie! And she has normal people makeup on. Not TV makeup. Oh I forgot to tell you there was a pig at Caroline’s house. Her sister is one of those random animal rescuerers. It was cute.

Andy is falling in love with Milania over Gia… It has to happen as the little monsters age. And Tabatha is appalled. She says, “We all know that I don’t like children, and all I kept thinking is those poor bloody hairdressers.” I agree Tabitha. But monster children on TV are fun to watch.

Andy turns to the “Princesses” and admits his favorite “princess” is Jeff. SHOCKER!  The clip is from last week when Jeff went with his “girlfriend” to try on bathing suits with her mother. This is because IT WAS SO FUCKING GAY THAT EVEN THOUGH HE WAS OFF LAST WEEK HE STILL WANTS TO POINT IT OUT IN CASE WE MISSED THAT JEFF IS THE  GAYEST GAY THAT EVER GAYED! Then he plays that little 40 minute mark bite that Bravo does of Jeff doing a PERFECT John Travolta moment just to drive Jeff’s gayness home for anyone who may have missed it. SHADE by Bravo. AND JEFF IS THE BARTENDER OMG!  Andy has no shame in the shade throwing. Later he calls him “Isaac Washington from Love Boat” Continue reading »

Princesses of Long Island Recap

princessYeah, I know, I make fun of this Long Island Princess show, but I am sort of addicted. And a little tipsy. So since most of you don’t watch. I am going to do a slap dash recap because WWHL is going to be good tonight.  It’s Shabbacalypse part two.  Casey  I think goes out to Erica to call her out for being a whore in high school make amends. Erica is wasted and Casey probably is too. This priceless. Grown women fighting over high school shit. Erica swears she is not a whore anymore. Erica apologizes. Casey just tells her to go fuck herself. She is not letting her off the hook. Casey is traumatized and now she can’thave relationships with men… and her parents are divorced…and Casey is annoying me with her sob story. Casey essentially tell Erica to go fuck herself. I mean Erica has fucked everyone else, so why not herself?

Erica  goes back in and apologizes at the table for being a “dickheard in high school.” No Erica, you were clearly a whore in highschool. Own it and tell Casey to move on with her life or just go home. This is ridiculous.

Speaking of ridiculous, Amanda has arrived extremely late to dinner with her gay fiancé . I myself have a gay fiancé (wordpress will not allow me to remove the accent) but I do not ACTUALLY think we are getting married. It’s sort of a fag hag/ fruit fly dream. AND THAT IS WHAT WE DO WITH GOOD LOOKING RICH GUYS. Not this little gay closeted scumbucket you keep dragging around. No man or woman in their right mind would want to be his “girlfriend” pretend or otherwise. He’s an annoying glory hole gay (look it up ladies) who didn’t even pay for your swimwear. Sigh.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Children’s Party?

housewivesjerseyTime for the Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap and I am already pausing and backing up to make sure I just heard what I heard. Teresa is talking about Gia’s 12th birthday party. She invited 65 kids and it’s her first co-ed party. But that is not the issue. Tre just said to her in her talking head, “When she gets old enough I am taking her to the doctor and if she is not a virgin I am disowning her.” So already we are off and running with Teresa saying inappropriate things. I guess that is why she get paid the big bucks. She has invited her brother and Melissa and the kids.

Time for a Jacqueline scene. The new plan is to drop the kid into a hyperbaric chamber. And, I’m out. Check out the “research” on hyperbaric chambes here. It’s mostly used for autistic kids that have major seizure disorder as a last resort.  Essentially more “fad” treatments by Jacqueline who doesn’t have the literary comprehension to understand autism research.

Jacqueline and Chris Manzo Save Home From Foreclosure

Jac is very good at pointing fingers...

Jac is very good at pointing fingers…

At least for now it looks like old Jac and Chris Manzo will not have to live in a van down by the river. According to TMZ a settlement has been reached that will stop the foreclosure proceedings on their house, at least for now. The couple’s loan agreement with the bank including a stipulation that if even one payment was missed the entire balance could be called due immediately. They missed a payment in April and the bank did exactly that. It would seem that these sort of clauses are included in contracts for those with poor credit ratings. Somehow, they have coughed up enough money to stop the bank from foreclosing. But that is not the end to their problems. Continue reading »

Dance Moms: Maddie and Chloe Go Toe to Toe

DancemomschloemaddieNot only is it time for my favorite show, Dance Moms, but something I have ALWAYS wanted to happen is about to happen this episode. Chloe and Maddie are going to compete head to head in competition with the exact same solo! I have long said that Chloe is as good if not better than Maddie and Abby favors Maddie and gives her better choreography to insure that Maddie always wins. I bet Abby will still spend more time with Maddie this week, but I am praying for a Chloe win. I love Maddie and Abby but I just think Chloe is undervalued on the team and somewhat mistreated.

Abby is in an unusually good mood. That means she is up to something. Or getting laid. Asia is back. YAY! Annnnnd Nia is on the bottom again. Boo. Did Mackenzie even dance last week? How is she up so high on the pyramid. This is ridiculous.  At least Brooke got recognized and is on top this week. Continue reading »
