LOL @ darting looks in the checkout line. ;)
I saw a preview of the reunion the other day. Just wow.

This reminds me, I was going to link this in the other HW thread for Work In Progress, thinking perhaps she'd feel vindicated that these women indeed do not represent the typical demographic of that area, as stated by a local establishment in NJ & reported by a respectable source. ;) (Of course some on the delivery routes of the Chicago papers will debate who is more respectable, the Trib or Sun Times. But I digress.) While perusing past editions of the Trib for a non-related article someone told me about, this caught my eye. The whole lot of them got permanently banned for their stunts there. "It is safe to say that the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' cast and crew members are not welcome at the North Jersey Country Club..." (There is a link to the apology letter from NJCC General Mgr to members.) The article also infers legal recourse would have been taken if a CC representative had not signed a release.

Danielle needs therapy. For someone who says she "couldn't care less" what that family is up to, she sure does spend a LOT of time obsessing over them!

Interesting article Moonshadow. At first I couldn't figure out why Danielle was so hated until I watched the charity show for the child with cancer. The woman is totally delusional.

I have to wonder though, what part of the country club show was "staged?" It's the one with the hair pulling.

Whatever the case, I hope the show doesn't get cancelled! :)

I just found this on TMZ. Okay, I admit to checking the website a couple of times a week. :)

I feel so sorry for her daughters. How can they be so sweet with a mother like Danielle? I honestly think Danielle has two persona's, one for the kids and one for the public.

Danielle just filed legal papers -- in which she states that Kevin Maher has "no evidence" that Danielle ever made several controversial statements about him ... including accusations that Kevin killed her dog, forced her to play Russian Roulette ... and even raped her.

As we previously reported, Maher filed a lawsuit against the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star -- claiming she did make the alleged statements ... and in doing so, she damaged his reputation to the tune of $5 million.

But Staub claims Maher has admitted to being such a scumbag in the past -- that even if she did make the statements, his reputation couldn't suffer any worse than it already has.

In fact, Staub lists several examples of Maher's alleged scumbaggery ...

According to the docs, Staub claims it's all spelled out in Maher's infamous biography, "Cop Without a Badge" ... in which Maher admits to using cocaine, has "overactive sexual proclivities," and once shoved a gun into the genitals of a man he thought was sleeping with Danielle.

As TMZ previously reported, Maher and Staub are attempting to settle their issues through mediation ... but in case that fails, the case is set to go to trial in February.

ah Oakley, you made me go to TMZ, I stumbled upon danielle's new single's video, thanks for the laugh, it's so terrible I thought it was a joke.

Danielle vs everyone on Access Hollywood - towards the end of this clip (almost at the 1 minute point) he tells her the compliment was nicely telling her that her singing sucked - she said - thats ok, take the good with the bad.

Large post on Housewives at Citydata.

I do hope the show gets tanked. The whole premise is just silly. These women (all of the "housewives - despite which city or state) are fake, scripted and otherwise painfully distasteful.

I think I would rather watch professional wrestling. I guess I just don't get the attraction to these types of shows? Gosh, there's gotta be something better to watch on tv whatever night these shows air.

Bravo posted that Danielle is off the show.

It's reported that Teresa is leaving because her sister in law will be on the show.

As far as last nights reunion - wow; talk about uncomfortable what Danielle whispered to Jaq. Anyone think she has a girl crush on her?

I just watched the reunion show this afternoon. I think Jacquelyn was trying a last ditch effort to get Danielle to drop the charges. Looks like it worked. Jacquelyn looked like she could care less about what Danielle was saying.

Did not know Teresa was leaving. Have we seen her SIL?

Have you seen this parody? Hysterical - fyi, CURSING.

Here is a link that might be useful: HWoNJ Parody - Foul Language Warning

Allison; Caroline was posting on facebook last night saying Danielle has not dropped any charges. It was taped a month ago.

I've already signed up for the facebook group for Teresa's sister in law; I don't know if there will be a limit, so anyone interested should look it up - Team Melissa Gorga RHoNJ.

So far Bravo has not released Teresa or there is no official post from them yet.

Anyone going to watch Beverly Hills?

I admit to being a Housewife junkie, so yes, I have my DVR set to record all tapings. Looking forwarding to seeing who the new Orange County wives are. Looks like they cleaned house this season.

Danielle was getting a little weird with Jacqueline - did you see her expression while she was hugging Danielle - like "Get me out of here!". I thought the charges against Ashley were resolved months ago - she got a fine and I think probation.

I did think they sortof ganged up on Danielle a bit, but it sounds like there's alot of stuff between those ladies that we don't even know about.

Did anyone think Kim G. looked really different? I couldn't tell if it was her hairstyle, she'd gained weight or a face lift?? Barely recognized her.

I don't read their FB accounts, Tweets or any blogs. imo, that just shows Danielle was not being honest (once again).

Saw a commercial for BH last night. Will probably watch it. Did not watch ATL at all and only caught 30 minutes of DC. OMG!! LOL

Wondering if Tamara has a new BF yet. I'll have to check out the OC house cleaning.

imo, Kim G looked the same. She already had a FL. Maybe shorter hair, but I thought it was the same.

BTW, could I have used more acronyms?! ;) I need to GAL. ;D

caroleh, I thought they ganged up on Danielle too. I actually thought Danielle acted pretty cool and could have said a lot worse, but, I feel she was trying to keep most of her actions positive. I know I couldn't have stayed there as much as she did and have people criticize every thing she did. She could have criticized them so much more and I think she chose not too.

I thought Kim G. looked totally different too. She has definately had some work done. I am glad everyone turned on her, since she was such an instigator. She really did Danielle wrong, being two-faced and all.

Teresa and Caroline make me want to puke. I can hardly watch them, as usual. Caroline acts so tough and Danielle was right about Caroline not letting Jaqueline be Jacqueline. Caroline wants to run the show (and her family). And, Teresa, there just is no hope for that girl.

I thought the charges Danielle said she would drop, was charges against the other women. Don't know what charges they are talking about.

roslvr, I have been wondering all this time...what happened between Danielle and Jaqueline? I mean, one season they were friends, but Caroline and the others were trying to break them up, and then the next season, Jaqueline HATES Danielle. Just wondered what happened?

In between those seasons it was reported that she made some very threatening movements against Deanna which opened jaq's eyes.

Frankly I'm relieved to see her go. I love the show (but am far too cool, intelligent and sophisticated to tell anyone that lol). But I was going to quit watching if she stayed on. There is silly and fatty....and there is actual mental insanity, which isn't funny so I found it uncomfortable to watch. Now if Kelly would just go from NY I'd be happy :p

Did anyone see the Theresa headline in one of those rags (which I boldly put in my cart......ummm while claiming I'm doing my masters on insanity). It said that the whole bank thing was due to lavish spending of up to ten grand a month on credit cards.

Now that may sound high to some....but in reality it's only $120,000 annually....which even in stupid big haired irresponsible bimbo language does not add up to eleven million very quickly. :p. Come on Theresa...anything else you want to mention?

By the way...I have a dear itallian friend just like Caroline. She is the lion of their family and protects them with an iron fist. Not literally, but she is a strong and very protective old school itallian so I totally get, and really respect Caroline.

Roselvr: I think it was more than a 'girl crush'!!!

I liked the O.C. 'Real Housewives' version because there was more than just one person getting picked on (here it's Danielle, on D.C. it's Michaela Salahi) -- this plot line had certainly run its course. It needs more characters interacting and more than one person being the object of others' annoyance.

I wish I'd Tivo'd and kept the 2nd part of the reunion show (tho I'm sure there are at least a dozen more showings!). Because I was listening to Danielle and I thought her language when describing the court stuff was very vague--I don't recall her saying specifically that she was going to drop anything but that (and I'm paraphrasing what I remember) they needed to move on and live in peace, and something about all of them getting what they needed, which leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

But she actually DID say she would drop the charges against Ashley?

You could see in her eyes some true affection for Jacqueline, like she was trying to reel her back into her clutches.

Loved all of your comments. Sorry that series is over with, Don't care for DC and ATL even a little bit......BooHoo because I won't waste my time on either of them. I definately have been a Housewives junkie for awhile now.

Lol Susan. I'm kinda getting into dc :). Shocking as I think they are all democrats :0.

Me too Igloo, can't wait for the reactions from the other wives when Michaela and her hubby get busted at the state dinner. Interesting that she also supposedly crashed the Black Caucus dinner?

Anyways, it's taken a few episodes to get to know this group, but I find them interesting. The Atlanta wives I can't relate to so much - they just seem to squabble and Atlanta just doesn't seem to have the social climbing chaos as NY, and DC. The west coast ladies are just interesting because they're so very vain, and being from the midwest, I find that funny.

I was just surfing news channels and saw the Salahis being interviewed. Apparently they were on TV to announce that Michaele Salahi has multiple sclerosis, and that's why she's so thin. She said she's had it for 17 yrs and never told anyone because she didn't want pity or to lose her job.

Actually they were on with someone who just wrote a book about them. The author said she was a former White House correspondent (didn't catch what news outlet) and when she heard of someone 'crashing' the WH she thought no way is that possible, so she wanted to investigate. Which resulted in a book. According to the author she contacted her 'Secret Service sources' who confirmed it's just not possible. Of course that's about all the Secret Service could say. Can't reply with "Yes they did" and "Oops, our bad". ;)

I have had a few friends in my life with MS and I can't say that being super skinny was a major symptom....nor being dumb as a stump, but heck, I'm not a doctor so what do I know ;oP

I love the SS said it can't happen...maybe they need to read or watch the news? LOL

I would love to be on a HW show. I'm picturing my life as I sit now...I'm in a paint stained shirt with dirty jeans on (gardening and painting while DS was at school) but I do have on a lovely pair of ruby ear rings :oP DS is out in the center hall of (what they would picture as a fabulous mansion on a HW episode) our old victorian and has just had a major 3 car pile up....This means the mansion is full of torn up cardboard as his cars were all boxes...

HE's wearing a paint stained pair of designer jeans, a bat man tee shirt (with paint...what do they do at kindergarten? Dip them in paint) and skull and heart boots while screaming at the top of his lungs for an amballance (spelled as he says it).

The dog just barfed up the dinner he stole from the cat...the cat is whining about his lack of dinner (I'll refeed him) and there is a herd of deer in the back 40 pooping all over the yard (this housewife will soon be chasing them out with a hose). Ahhh the romance of the real world....it would be quite a show :oP Anyone else want to be on it? heh heh

Snagged a day off, thought I'd catch up on some 'real' news.
And there they are again, on CNN.
Only now it's Househubbies arrested or in jail.
Lots 'o drama.
Starting to feel like sensory overload.
I might need to ditch this method of stress diversion and revert to that reliable standby and most outstanding comfort food Chocolate, lol.

I'm just now getting back to this topic. The "Reunion Show" wasn't a reunion show, it was a gang up on Danielle show, period.

All they did was address Danielle's actions ,NOT their own. They all acted like Saints who've never hurt anyone.

I actually felt sorry for Danielle, even though I'm not fond of her. I would have been so embarrassed I would have ran away in tears and crawled in a hole. lol.

But I have to have Teresa on the show! She's my favorite simply because of how naieve (sp) she is.
