This episode begins with tears and ends the very same. It is almost as if the producers said they were preparing to take the show to broadway so they had prove who could drop the most tears. I hate to say that, as I believe some tears throughout the show more than others. Still, the producers could have made the show more authentic by dropping the tears throughout the episodes and not bundle them all into one.
Karlie Redd does not cry about the advice she gets from her manager. Apparently, she needs to drop Benzino because he is no longer relevant in the music industry. By that I mean, he does not have the “credibility” (arguable), that he had in the past with his rap career (bombed) and The Source Magazine. Most people do not like him because he is pretty wack. Not to mention, his head/body ratio is a little off. Benzino cries to Karlie Redd (literally – and I do mean tears) to keep their relationship going. He does point out that her career is just as irrelevant as his. That was funny! The boy does give good advice. Benzino pulls her back in by setting up a meeting with Vincent Herbert (husband/manager of Tamar Braxton). I would love to see what Vince heard from Karlie as he praised her music. Wait until Tamar gets a listen to this potential “client”. Once they hear what I did last week, he may change his mind very soon.
K Michelle has Mimi listen to a well written song about Mimi’s life with Stevie J. I loved the song and its harmonies. Mimi goes out to hear K. Michelle perform her new song. To her surprise, Stevie J is on stage performing a song for her as well. “I’m sick of all the fussing, fighting..”, sings Stevie. Um, if that was the case, would you not give up all the extra BS that you carry on? Mimi gets real and lets her emotions go. It seems she was tired and hurt from all of his antics and she finally released the pain through tears on the show.
More crying…Scrappy has a game of pool with his new “Boo”, Buckey. He goes on and on crying about this child support. He is such a freaking liar! He wants Buckey to believe that Erica is actually getting paid the child support. His broke ass was just telling his “BM”, Erica that he would pay her when he gets around to it. He did not even know that his daughter had her own bank accounts, yet he tells Buckey that he is the one who set the accounts up and that Erica just wants the money for herself. I think we can all agree by how he swooped his couch up out of the house where his child sleeps, he does not really put his child before himself. I mean, really? Take the sofa that your baby sits on?
K Michelle, I do love, but she is so wrong for complaining to her ex-boyfriend that she does not know why her relationships do not last. Could it be because you lead with your p#ssy-cat and not your personality? K Michelle goes on a date and throws that thing so far in his face, I am surprised he did not just start picking hair out of his teeth, right at the table. It is very obvious she has been emotionally scarred. She needs to learn how to love herself again, so that men can learn to love her as well. Love everything about her besides her “goods”. The ex gives her good advice, but she is clearly in denial.
Finally, Mimi gets her day in therapy. Stevie J accepts that he is a liar. I am relieved that he lets it out, but it must hurt to hear that he is no longer in love with Mimi. Although he is working on it, sometimes it is difficult to fall back in love with someone you once loved. He could not even definitively state that he was not in love with Joseline. That is a bit scary. Mimi should have her antennas completely in the air and stay aware of what happens around her, in regards to Stevie J.
The therapist quickly gets to the surface of the problems they are having. Especially, the enabling Mimi has been demonstrating over the years. He again delves deep into the root of the problems. Mimi had a non-existent mother who left her family for Scientology (the religion held by most Hollywood stars including Tom Cruise). Mimi lost that love in her life so she in turn tries to gain that love from others. Stevie on the other hand, never had a mother. She abandoned her family when Stevie was a baby. That goes to show why he can not respect women in the manner he should. This therapy session was indeed a good one. Their emotions were honest and it made me feel a little bad for Stevie J. Yes, he is a grown man who makes his own decisions, but he did not learn as a child where to channel his anger.
It seems next week we will be back to the fussing and fighting. Joseline will join the therapy session and she is a bit pissed when she learns that Mimi and Stevie J are working on the relationship they once had. While Joseline complained she wanted out of that contract giving Stevie 30% of her income. She claimed he did not own her and he was not leaving her “sex” alone. I guess she was wrong about both. For one, managers do not make 30%. That is very unusual. So I guess he does own her and by next week, we shall see him pass up that body too. *Most photos provided by VH1.com
Ev and Ocho…Exclusive Wedding Photos
01 Aug 2012 2 Comments
Exclusive wedding photos of Evelyn Lozada and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson were posted on VH1’s site, given to them by the couples personal wedding photographer. The sexy couple indeed has hot style. Just check out the photos to see them sizzle. The dress worn by Ev is one of her many wardrobe changes from their July 2012 wedding.
After battling with several hotels and venues to find a reception location, the couple found an unknown location willing to take the risk of the couples antics. TMZ reported that various upscale hotels including the St. Regis in Bal Harbour, The Ritz in Miami and The Breakers in Palm Beach, were not willing to risk having the pair air their wedding and their baggage at their luxury digs. The wedding and reception; however, will be shown on their new VH1 reality show, “Ev and Ocho” which is scheduled to debut in September.
I do not know about you, but I am excited to see a new reality show that will surely be filled with drama. Either way, kudos to Ev and Ocho…I wish them well. *Photo provided by VH1.com.

Real Housewives of New York: Let’s play catch up!

I love Carole! I am glad she is beginning to see how LuAnn is. She called LuAnn the “one-upper”. She said LuAnn, will, “one up you and raise you some crazy thing”. Which is definitely true! While the ladies are out playing croquet, the “royal wars” are on! Carole helps LuAnn to shut her face by quickly picking up croquet. And then winning the entire game. Heather starts to notice the tension between the two ladies. LuAnn is just being true to herself, annoying everyone around her.
Once Carol was speaking about her book, LuAnn cannot help to speak about her book. Then Heather talks about being a gymnast, and LuAnn chimes in and tells of her gymanstics. Carole starts to one up LuAnn and stating that she was on the football team. She is so hilarious! Finally, when Carole and Sonja leave the table and Heather decides to tell LuAnn about her annoying personality traits. It goes completely over LuAnn’s head and for once, she is not the topic of her own conversation, she blames everyone but herself about how the mood is around her. Go figure!
When Sonja gets back from London, she immedately goes to learn what she missed as far as throwing Aviva and Reid an anniversary party. Since her departure to London, Ramona has been helping out with the anniversary plans. The party was in what seemed to be a hotel lobby, which was fine for the other ladies, but weird for Heather.
Although Aviva tripped down the stairs at her own anniversary party, the real entertainment came from a singer, Cara Quici. Now I am not sure what party she should have been performing at, but this was not one of them. Heather took the words right out of my mouth, “is this for real”! It was so weird! I could not stop laughing! Still, the speeches made up for the entire evening. On the way out, Ramona and Heather cannot leave without a fight. It did rub me the wrong way how Heather said Ramona started it; however, Heather was the one who egged the situation on. She continuously followed Ramona around the room taunting her until Ramona ran into the arms of Luann. Ironic! 🙂
Later, Luann has a wine party and tries to set Ramona up for laughs. She has the ladies sit blind folded and tatse an unknown wine to decide whether they liked it or not. Then she had them differentiate the flavors that were in each bottle by smelling them. Ramona pasts the test with flting colors as she was able to name each flavor and each smell accurately. Much to no one’s surprise, the wine turned out to be Ramona Singer’s Pinot Grigio. Is that class Luann? She tried to set her up to look foolish but the tables turned all too soon.
Aviva plans a trip with Ramona to Miami. Since Carole will be there, they will get together while the ladies are there. She also invites Sonja since she wants to introduce her to a sex addict, Aviva’s father! Right! This should be interesting. Once in Miami, Aviva’s father is introduced. He is both handsome and suave. I cannot wait to see how Sonja receives him…
Love and Hip Hop Atlanta: Scrap the Scrapper!
18 Jul 2012 3 Comments
First off, I feel like I failed to mention this in my last LHHATL post. What is with those four braids that Joseline keeps rockin’? They are so thick at the top and so bald on the ends…I mean, really? They’re reminiscent of the “90’s R. Kelly. Now back to the scheduled program…
Mimi claims she is over Stevie J. She decides to pack up his belongings from “the house” which turns out to be four half empty boxes. A friend brought to my attention last week, Stevie J and Mimi must not really be a real”item”. What man would let his women be disrespected by a hoe? On top of that, disrespect her on national television by choosing the hoe over his baby mama? Also, have you all noticed how they always talk about going to eachothers house or calling in the morning. Clearly, they do not wake up together and they are not as “together” as they are portraying on the show. Stevie mentioned last week he has five baby mamas so apparently, he feels Mimi is only another baby mama and not his “woman”? Just an observation…and pure speculation! Either way, I hope she works that out…
Okay, now what is up with Buckey and Lil Scrappy. He is such a f#cking liar! And pissing me off as the shows go by. I feel bad for Erica, the way he is playing her on the show. And how did we go from best friends to boyfriend/girlfriend in one episode? That Buckey is “wizack” for trying to play girlfriend and talking shit about Erica when she has no clue what the relationship is between Erica and Scrappy. Do not try to down her and speak on her relationship when you do not know the half! Scrappy does not deserve Erica! And she should not help him put the pieces back together when he loses his fame again in two years!
On top of Scrappy and his non-sense…Momma Dee needs to mind her business and stop babying her grown ass son. You two will never be an item so get off of Scrappy so hard and cut the damn cord, so to speak. Erica is clearly irritated by Momma Dee. She is in love with her son and it is weird! And what did that threat mean at the end of their visit? “Don’t trust me” is what Momma Dee told Erica. What does that really mean?
Erica was 100% correct. Now we see how Scrappy really is. He needs an excuse to break up with her so he uses an asthma attack as the way out? Then he complains about her going to work when she is the one paying the bills that still need to be paid while he is out partying….really Scrappy? Grow the hell up!
Now…Karlie Redd, Karlie Redd, Karlie Redd! What the f#ck was that? Did that really happen? That stage performance was HORRIBLE to say the least. No wonder why she never made it in the business. And all the ladies keep clowning on her being a senior citizen. So funny! Joseline was so pissed about working with Karlie Redd. Stevie J put his pimping down and they “decided” Karlie Redd and Joseline would indeed have a single together.
Stevie J and Mimi had an entertaining disagreement. I am glad and surprised that Mimi brought up how Joseline and Mimi interract. Joseline feels way to comfy with Stevie. How does the side chick feel like she can check his woman? And have the nerve to say she cannot “trust Stevie”…last time I checked, a hoe is not suppose to trust a man that does not belong to her. SMH! I cannot wait to see how this therapy session will turn out since Stevie seems to think it will work.
Finally, Karlie Redd and K Michelle have it out…well slightly. K Michelle is hilarious to me. As soon as Karlie gets to the table, K Michelle clowns Karlie’s clothes. Karlie came back with a comment or two. And Karlie said she has a video tape of K Michelle. I wonder what is on that alleged tape. Oh wait, before I end this I have to mention Karlie Redd and Benzino? Wasn’t she dating LA Reid’s son when the show began? What the f#ck? Anyway, Karlie does need to know she is a messy b!tc#. I cannot wait to see where her mouth gets her…to the top I suppose 😉
Love and Hip Hop Atlanta: “Scrap” it Out
10 Jul 2012 Leave a comment
Love and Hip Hop Atlanta began with a visit from Stevie J to Joseline’s apartment. They confessed of the abortion that had taken place and Stevie was back pimp talking his way into Joseline’s heart. I thought she was a “G” and was going to stand her ground when she asked if he had ever loved her, he never said yes, but he reluctantly gave her a kiss that basically soothed her bruised heart.
Speaking of bruised hearts, which should really be a bruised ego by now, Mimi spoke to her BFF and K Michelle to update them on the latest drama. She explained her embarrassment as Stevie J pulled out Joseline’s pregnancy from his pocket. The ladies were in shock, but not really as Stevie is a proven repeat offender. Mimi claimed to be done with the entire Stevie J situation, outside of their child.
Joseline later headed to the dance studio to get her body “back in shape”, not that 1 month of pregnancy pounds on much weight. Stevie stopped by to see her dance moves after he talked her into keeping her head on track. Then, he creepishly watched her roll and twist her hips to her new latin track.
Once Joseline was smoothed over, Stevie J went to work his “magic” on his girlfriend, Mimi. I cannot say the magic worked as Mimi seemed to be as pissed as we have ever seen her, but really, can you blame her? Stevie never opened up his mouth to take responsibility for what he often dishes out. She continued to let him have it as he tried to play nonchalant as if nothing ever occurred. Sorry Stevie, that weird crooked-eyed look you give is not going to work this time! Stevie stuck his tail between his legs and “pimp walked” off the set, so to speak. This is the best real/acting drama I have ever seen, but ggod for Mimi who has finally seemed to stand her ground.
Scrappy moved out of Erica’s home and spinned completely out of control. While Erica was confirming to her mother the great relationship she has with Scrappy and she will say yes when he proposes (for the second time), Scrappy was at his new place rubbing [sun-screen] up and down the backside of “Buckey” or Shay [from Flavor of Love].
Those two claim to be friends, but did you peep when he was telling the story about Erica and Stevie J to Buckey…she was trying to confirm that he was only taking Erica’s side because that is his baby mama, and not because the two are an item. He agreed…lies! I do not understand why Scrappy is going to play the sh*t out of his baby mama on national television once again. Men have no respect these days! If you do not want to be with her, Scrappy, you should have told her when you were movin out and not once you confirm a place to live again. Scrappy is using her for the love she has for him. He will dump her anytime he gets a check like he has done in the past. What a shame. And to keep complementing on “Buckey’s” body…really? Erica Dixon has a nice body and it is better kept than Buckey’s. She is one cheeseburger away from being obese. I am not one to hate, but if you want to use the excuse that you like this girl body, your baby mama wins that hands down! Just keep it real and say you a hoe…that likes hoes…
Finally, the grand finale of all show endings. I really thought this would be some fake fight between the two men, but it turned out to be worth watching. Erica takes Scrappy to the studio Stevie J is recording at. When Stevie walks out, he is accompanied by his side kick/chick, Joseline. He came out correct and apologized for what he said about Erica. Scrappy wanted it to be clear why he was upset and they began to talk it out man to man. It was going well when Scrappy wanted to give Stevie a taste of his anger. Scrappy referred to calling Joseline a b!tc#. Then Joseline jumped in and began to argue. Joseline, not even aware of the situation, says that Stevie J and Erica were fucking (out of left field)…everyone was confused and all hell broke loose.
The cameras did not show the viewers who threw the first punch but it was a clear shot of Scrappy pounding the back of Stevie’s head as they fell into the bushes. While they were laying on the ground, Stevie J proceeds to bite Scrappy continuously…not even coming up for air. By now, all the body guards are holding their arms, but the biting continues. A bite though, Stevie? Who does that! I mean, in the male species anyway…?
Once the two were separated, Scrappy cut loose again. He is a big man and quick on his feet, might I add. He gets a hold of Stevie behind
a car and we [the viewers] really could not tell what was happening (I assume Scrappy had Stevie in a head lock cutting off his air), all I know is Stevie got up stumbling and almost like he had been knocked out while the body guards carried him to his feet. A lot more shouting and carrying-on went on, until everyone went home and Scrappy promised to “see about” them again.
The night ended with Erica updating Mimi and the other ladies on the incident. They all agreed that problems tend to follow Ms. Joseline, and that is a problem they are willing to solve. My gosh! When is it going to end! 😉
Bad Girls Club: Season 9 Premiere
10 Jul 2012 1 Comment
Oxygen’s Bad Girls Club premiered its 9th season last night with chaos and drama, of course. Everyone was getting along until the last two ladies arrived, Ashley (Blondie) and Christina (the fiesty Puerto Rican). For some reason, maybe it is as simple as the bond the ladies grew in the one hour they spent together first, but the haters came crawling out instantly.
Julie (the hater) was at an all time high, staring with “green eyes” at the innocent, Christina who was just trying to have a good time. Christina peeped the salt rubbing off of Julie by the smart comments she continued to make throughout the night and the evil eye she was giving off. Still, Christina kept her cool and ignored the girl.
Meghan (Char look-a-like), was the center of controversy, as she claimed to be the prettiest witch of them all, “with the best body” (claims Meghan). I am sure there are many that hate her for standing out so abruptly. Still I find her to be pretty honest and a cute chick so the verdict is still out on her. Honestly, we would have probably got along if I was a cast member. It is a tie between her and Christina as my fan favorite, so far. Meghan picked out Erika (the other black girl) and the “other pretty girl”, Rima (looks Mexican-really Nigerian) as her potential friend. They assumed that their beauty would unite the two until they hit the club together.
Rima turned out to be the biggest slut-bag of the bunch. What a shame as she was a pretty, classy-looking “Kim Kardashian” viber, says Falen (Middle-Eastern chick, fried blonde hair). She pulled her dress up and panties down in the middle of the floor and did the hump dance, bare-assed. C’mon, does this really happen? Real hoes can get the job done being a little more discrete. I agreed when Meghan quickly dumped the friendship, because Rima was giving away all her goods “for free”.
Meanwhile, Meghan, Falen and Julie bonded outside over the hoe-ness that was taking place inside. Julie could not help dissing Christina, who had become word vomit, unbeknownst to the pretty Puerto Rican. Finally Christina walks up and hears the ladies talking about her. Meghan keeps it real, we were talking about you Christina because Julie thinks you are fake. Julie agreed and World War I began. Christina spit on Julie and taunted her to, “do something about it”! Of course, Julie sat in silence and purely punked-out. If she is not a boxer, I suggest she keeps her mouth shut. Meghan was right when she told the girls, “I didn’t expect that from her”. Neither did Julie, Meghan! I bet she will not try her anymore!
The next morning, the ladies (Meghan/Falen/Julie) jumped in the shower while the other ladies jumped in the hot tub. Meghan pointed out it was kinda gross because they all danced all night and rolled around the club floors. I agree! Erika walked in on the conversation as Julie said she did not want to get in the hot tub because the ladies were dirty. Erika tells Rima about the comment, and Rima decided to take it up with Meghan (her “pretty BFF).
As soon as Meghan was speaking the truth of what she included in the conversation, World War II began when she added, BITCH, to the end of the sentence. We were left there to decide who was going to end the victor. Most of the ladies seem like “scrappers” this season, but I have my money on Meghan, between the two…
