Tonight on WWHL, Carole’s mom is the bartender. I love her! I don’t really know who Anthony, the other guest is, but apparently he has a show on Comedy Central as a Trump impersonator and his sister-in-law is Christina Hendricks. Anthony is also super fan who got in a fight with Ramona over Trump at Luann’s Christmas party. Ramona was very pro Trump and was arguing with Anthony over the wall. They also fought over the fact that Ramona could not access her photos on her iPhone. This was a story that went nowhere. But it does let us know that Carole will never be tight with Ramona the Trump supporter.
Carole is wearing what I presume to be a very expensive dress. Carole never looks right in the dresses she chooses. They are all very Little House on The Prairie: The Church Episode.
Carole attempts to give us the entire provenance of her couch and says that it is currently out of her house to be recovered. I keep meaning to see if I could get someone to just clean my current couch and inject it with a ton more cushion on one end and the two armrests. There is nothing wrong with the leather; it’s just my vast heft has caused an unbearable dent in one end and the armrests have always been underfilled.
Andy says he has known “Radzi” since the 90s. Didn’t we previously get a much different story? Someone?
Ramona said on the show tonight she was not going to be confrontational with Bethenny. The poll question was, on a scale of 1-10 how confrontational was she? Pollsters said 9.
Anthony is very funny and a great Trump impersonator.
It’s shotski night and once I saw Carole’s entire dress, I LOVE IT!. It’s not Little House at all. It’s a very pretty mini dress and whatever she paid for it is money well spent!
In what must have been a six minute commercial break, they play “behind the scenes at WWHL ” on a split screen. Carole and Anthony become engrossed in a conversation the entire time. Andy fucks around on his phone because he cannot be off it for thirty minutes. Makeup comes out for everyone right away because they have been on camera for TEN LONG MINUTES without a touch up. Carole’s mom just hangs out for a bit and eventually Andy gets bored strutting around like a peacock and chats with her. Clearly more photo ops for Andy. At one point the ad was for NBCU and Andy was preening for that at the same time. When Andy goes back to his seat to read the next set of viewer questions he was given, Carole’s mom was suddenly the new audience hype girl getting them to clap when they came back from commericial. It was all a ridiculous insight into Andy Cohen He REALLY IS THAT NEEDY.
Next week on RHONY, Ramona has a scene with some girl named Missy and another woman. Ramona claims that Missy thought she was in an exclusive relationship with Tom until she walked in on him and Luann. I don’t think Carole was supposed to say her name. But she says that she met Missy at a cocktail party Ramona threw later in the season but she had no idea about this scene. Fun Fact: the housewives get the screener for the new episode at some point in the week before it airs so that it stirs up new conflict in real time for ratings.
Back to Carole’s dress, which fascinates me. It seems they keep giving her a tight shot because the dress has open sides and her “fat rolls” are showing. I know, it’s not possible for Carole to have fat rolls, it is just that when she is sitting her loose skin on her frame seems to be folding a bit. I have backed up and paused it. It is a at the 18 minute mark. It appears that there is illusion fabric there and that the waist is very tight causing quite a bit of “fat rolls” to the degree someone like Carole can have such a thing. I am sure she will be horrified when if she notices this. Clearly Carole is thin as a rail but there are three pronounced rolls above the tight waistband and I assume a kind camera crew is the reason we don’t get many good views of this dress while she is seated.
Apparently, Alec Baldwin and Anthony got into it on Twitter about the dueling Trump imitations. I think they both are great but this guy, is REALLY, REALLY good. If he called me on the phone (and just for fund let’s pretend I answer my phone) and told me he was Trump calling to ask me to take over the Secretary of Education position, I’d believe it.
Some idiot gets through which will cost someone their job. I hope it is not T. Kyle. And her drunken questions were Do you think Phaedra made the stuff up about Kandi and do you think Andy is overplaying his hand with all these game shows?
Um. Wow. Stupid people.
Andy says he is only doing one game show, Love Connection. Both guests are like… um…Andy can do whatever shows he wants. Then Andy makes SURE to include the Phaedra question. Anthony says sometimes people make up stories driven by the pain within them. Andy likes that. Anthony will be back.
Anthony’s show, “The President Show”, is very entertaining. Tonight at 11:30 will be his third episode. So far, he’s had Keith Olbermann and Dan Savage on as guests. He has even referred to Rinna’s bag of pills on RHOBH. Definitely worth a view.
Best impersonation of Trump I’ve heard yet. I’ll definitely give his show a try!
That really is a different version of his relationship with Carole.
The old version was that they met at a mutual friend’s dinner party (now that I think about it, that *is* very 1990s) and he found out she was a princess, and immediately wanted her for RHONY “because it would be great to have a princess and a countess on the show”. So the impression given was that RHONY was off and rolling long before he met Carole, and he was so bowled over by her during this dinner party that he instantly cast her for Season 5. How would he have made the countess observation if this dinner party encounter was long before RHONY?
Andy is as shady as Phaedra with his timelines! I’ve noticed he does this a lot when he’s talking about his relationships with guests on his show, there was a similar discrepancy when SJP was a guest on WWHL again very recently – he said one thing on the show, then clarified it in a totally different way to a fan on Twitter who questioned it (I forget the details). I think he’s been smoking too much weed with Susan Sarandon.
The last time SJP was on Andy questioned as to whether or not they were bff. SJP was stunned and Andy’s response was…umm are we?
I remember that, it was kind of awkward, no? I think she concluded, “well, you have lots of BFFs”.
And then there was an exchange either on the main show or the aftershow about how he gets distracted and gives monosyllabic answers during their “scheduled phone dates”, and I couldn’t tell if she was serious or not. It seemed like kind of a demanding friendship, they’re both a bit needy.
I agree with you Jonny. I clearly recall his recounting of their initial introduction at a dinner party, he was fascinated she was a princess yada yada. I believe he might have told the story at her first reunion, but I could be wrong. I remember they were both together when he told the story.
FWIW, that’s not how I remember the story. I’ve heard an interview where he says he had known her for years casually / socially and it was only later that he found out she was a princess and THATS when he decided she should be a housewife.
Think Andy has his head for the La trip… and all the BIG STARS he can be with… really I am off of WWHL it’s fake..we know it.
I, too, simply cannot get past Carole’s dress. I don’t think it looks good on her. I think Carole needs some help in the fashion department. I believe she spends a lot of money on designer pieces, but not ones that look good on her. She’s too old for this particular dress, IMHO. She has a body to be envied so I’d like to see her dress it better.
Carole has the potential to look amazing! Why does she choose to wear these , in my opinion, horrible frocks. and yes the look like very matronly items.
Carole can wear anything couture. She seems to like the vintage look, but it is really ageing on her. There can be a lovely compromise between vintage and contemporary, but she may need a stylist to get that straight. I do not care how lean you are, as we age every body looses skin tone. Skinny girls especially, no fat to smooth out the wrinkles. I am so happy this season that I can root for Carole thus far. She hangs a bit with Beth, but she is interacting with the rest of the cast, which is refreshing. I hated her last season.
I had no idea about the Love Connection show. I thought the caller was snidely commenting about Andy’s underhandedness with the Housewives-franchise-rodeo.
Carole needs a stylist ASAP or if she has one they need to sashay away. How is Carole a princess?
Her late husband was the son of a Polish prince.
Ok don’t know anything factual however NYC seems to me to be a very small town when you live in certain circles.
Radswill has floated around NY city inner circles for many many years, Andy not so much until past 15 years maybe. Don’t yell anyone if Im wrong. That’s how I recall the history. I recall Carol as a young married woman.
There comes a time for every woman when she shouldn’t show her knees. Carol, the time has come.
I like the dress even though it might be more suited for a younger person. I bet being on TV it’s hard to dress because some clothes look better in person than on the screen. The awards show is a good example.
chris hardwick show @midnight had anthony whatshisface as trump and another hilarious guy as bernie sanders on multiple times, this was during the election. both were absolutely spot on. i think they went on the road together too. seems like a million years ago… definitely check them out on youtube.
I think all the lace and frills make Carole look older. She wears dresses with what appears to be expensive antique lace that would be incredibly sweet on a young, fresh faced girl. Her body is beautiful for someone her age, but her face has a gaunt, tired look due in part to being so skinny. But the WORST is LuAnne with her Walmart tablecloth lace. Her clothes have gotten so cheap looking and poorly made since she’s touting her own line. Honestly, she has the worst taste of any of them.
Lu has always dressed elegantly and age appropriately and I expected more from her line. She should be branding her clothing line with the signature of looking like a million without spending a fortune.
Carole consistently hides her sexy behind these frumpy-ass frocks. Maybe so she’s “taken seriously?” More importantly, who is the gingey babe?
I hate that dress. It’s too young for her. Funny about the knees, painfully hitting too close to home.
I know a woman well over 50 that weighs 90lbs soaking wet, and she thinks it’s great that she wears “junior” clothes. It’s not. Carole wears the weirdest shit, period.
I like Carole, though. I’ve only read a little of her writing so far, but I like her style.
WWHL wears me out.
I think Carole looks great when she wears normal day to day clothes. When she attends an event that requires something dressy, the choices go strange. I like Dorinda’s choices, well except for the safety pin WWHL outfit. I don’t watch RHONY for fashion trends. I watch after I read TT. recap.
It laces up the side. They aren’t “rolls” it’s the string cutting into her sides. You can see it about minute 8 ?
