mobwiveslogoOkay Mobwives people, can any of you explain why DR. DREW is the moderator for the foul language fest known as the Mobwives reunion? Didn’t Joy Behar try her hand at this once? I think she was better. I suppose someone thought they all needed a mental health professional to referee, but this is beyond odd.

I love how when Big Ang speaks, no one interrupts. Big Ang says that Love was wrong. Renee seems to think that Love was fine, but it was not the right time. Karen said basically that Love had to do what she had to do. Continue reading »

mobwivesKarenCandyBefore we get to the lead story, here is a very quick recap of Mob Wives.  Love goes to get her head examined. Love says that she was hit by an 18 wheeler and it cracked her skull. The doctor asks her if she has noticed a short temper. She starts listing all her violent episodes. Doctor writes furiously! The doctor basically tells her she has brain damage and to try not to beat people up. Karen and Ramona head back to Staten Island from Arizona. Drita goes to tell Carla that Love wants to kill her but Carla misses the point. Back at home, Ramona Rizzo plans her jailhouse wedding to Joe as if that is a perfectly normal thing to do. Renee spends time with AJ and tries to change her life. Love accuses Carla of stealing her angel logo. That’s about it.

On to the big news. It’s ironic that one of the storylines is about brand stealing. As it turns out, it’s Renee that may be in hot water for ripping off someone’s brand. Click through for the tea! Continue reading »

Mobwives Recap: Things Get Heated in Arizona

mobwiveslogoKaren and Ramona are still in Arizona to deal with her ex and his girlfriend and also to play private detective and try to prove that her father is innocent and get him out of jail. Last week Karen said it was her and her brother who were the Ecstasy drug dealers, not her Dad. So if she gets him out, doesn’t that mean she and her brother go in? Also, they are just now opening his storage unit? Did they have someone check it for bodies before the cameras rolled? I’m thinking yes. Karen and Ramona are watching tapes for clues to help her father. The tapes are news reels and Karen is sitting right there in the courtroom. How is this new and helpful information? It’s not. So she decides to listen to taped calls between her father and his attorney. Wait, I thought she was looking for evidence to give his attorney. Is this making sense to anyone else? I need a Big Ang cooking scene about now. Karen finally gets it and has a meltdown. Ramona screams at her to get over herself.

Renee has safety issues. She is still thinking getting a $20,000 attack dog is a good idea. Clearly, she has never had a dog at all. Perhaps a poodle would give her some clarity. She also thinks she can take a couple of Krav Maga classes and defend herself.  Unless she already knows boxing, wrestling, muay thai, and  jiu-jitsu that is unlikely to happen. Gotta love “reality TV.” Perhaps afterward she can grab a bit to eat on the Georgia Tech campus and leave with an engineering degree. Continue reading »

Mob Wives Recap: Casket Sex and Prison Weddings

mobwiveslogoI’m a week behind on Mob Wives. I have no idea why EVERYTHING has to be on Sunday nights. Anyway, Renee is back in town and catching up on the gossip. It seems that Drita is back with Lee (Shocker!) and she is happy. For now. I love that the mob wives actually eat on the show. On the Real Housewives of Everywhere, you will notice that they very rarely eat anything at the dramatic dinners because they have to reshoot the scenes so many times. If you want to read about the details of filming a RHOA eating scene, read this article I wrote back in 2011. It’s very enlightening. Renee says she has moments where she wants a pill or a drink. She is going to try to stay away from the drama to protect her sobriety. We should start a betting pool on how long it will be before she has a front row seat to the drama. Will we make it through this entire episode?

Carla goes to the Drunken Monkey to tell Big Ang about her meeting with Raquel. Big Ang is planning a Christmas party with everyone. Carla is already planning to encounter drama with Love and Renee. It’s looking unlikely that Renee will make it through the episode drama free. There should be a drinking phrase for this show, “I don’t want no drama.”  We would all be drunk ten minutes in.

Love and Karen are an Italian grocery. Karen is going out to Arizona to see Dave and check out the girlfriend situation. Karen is also wanting to get down with the swirl.  Her business partner, Storm, calls and asks her out to dinner. Storm has a grill on his lower teeth that is distracting to say the least. They both have daughters. Karen is impressed that he is not in the mob. Should that be on my list of requirements for men? “Not in the mob?”  I had not considered that. Continue reading »

Mob Wives Ramona Rizzo to Marry Her Incarcerated Boyfriend

MobWivesRamonaWell here is a sweet Valentine’s Day love story. Ramona Rizzo from Mob Wives is getting married! She’s not going to let the fact that her true love is incarcerated and has at least ten more years to do on some cocaine trafficking charges stand in the way of a big fat Italian wedding! She’s planning a ceremony in June (which I assume is when filming for Mob Wives starts back) and inviting 500 guests. Apparently the groom will phone it in from the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center according to Page Six. Continue reading »

Renee Graziano’s Former Plastic Surgeon Sues for $77 Million

Who is that guy? That’s probably what you are asking yourself. Am I right? Why, that is Renee’s Graziano’s plastic surgeon, Andrew Klapper. Before we go on, let me just say that I have a thing about doctor’s names and would never select one named Klapper.  Where were we? Oh yeah, Dr. Klapper is the guy who decided to do a full body lift on Renee last year. Even if a “full body lift” was a good idea, Klapper clearly screwed it up. Not only did she lose several pints of blood on the operating table he left her with a hole in her back and lots of scar tissue according to Graziano.  The bill for the entire nightmare was 30K which Renee apparently did not pay according to Klapper. Who could blame her?  Renee also filed a complaint with the State Board of Health claiming that she was not properly informed of the risks. No action has been taken against Klapper according to his attorney Barry Levin.  So now Klapper is suing Graziano for  $77 million dollars according to the Dail Mail.  Klapper claims his practice has suffered a tremendous loss of income since he allowed himself to be filmed doing the procedure. That footage is likely all Graziano needs to defend herself. Meanwhile, last month Renee showed off the results of her recent surgery to correct the botched surgery. She had plastic surgeon to the stars, Dr. Michael Fiorillo, fix the hole in her back, and give her the butt she has always wanted. Renee is very pleased with the results.
