Basketball Wives ... MORE WIVES!



Basketball Wives is one of the new series that follows the lives of a another group of women (deja vu) who are romantically linked to professional basketball players. The show is about the struggles of being involved with these guys, involving business, trying to stay stable and hold on to it all and don't forget the groupies that are chasing their men!

But being a wife or girlfriend of a basketball player has advantages, shitting courtside at games to sun bathing on your husband's yacht. While many may think that the wives of professional athletes are lazy and get everything they want, these women prove that they are anything but. These wives run high-end shoe boutiques, manage a dance company, and are building a fitness empire. These women are proving that they are not relying on just their men's income. They are also struggling to raise their children while their basketball players are conquering the hard court.

I haven't caught too many of these episodes, but I think I like this show more than the other housewives shows. These women are more down to earth and really tell it like it is. Unlike their counterparts who really don't have a clue. So my friends, catch this diddy on VH1 ... or online.

Jerseylicious ... ? Drama City yes!!

Let me tell you folks, this reality show is so ridiculous like the others but I love it. Drama, drama, drama ... no one knows how to talk to anyone in a civil tongue. To sit there and watch these hairdressers can blind you. The outfits they wear, I don't even think you would see on the catwalk or in the most common neighborhoods. I have been to a few hair salons in Jersey and have NEVER seen any of the hairdressers with hair that is stiff with hair spray and about six inches off your head and clothes soooo skin tight when they shouldn't be. These employees that work at the Gatsby do have somewhat of a good work ethic ... they are competitive for business at least. They do offer a variety of services that most salons don't like makeup. If you get a chance watch this show for a good laugh and to see what the other 1/4 of Jersey is doing!



And don't forget to see the glam fairy, she is obnoxious! Watch it on the Style Network or catch it online!

Housewives Updates! Guilty Pleasure!

Yes, Yes, it's true! I am guilty of watching some of the housewives reality shows! (giggle). So I want to let you know what is happening on some of the series, here we go!



Well, on "Housewives of Atlanta" Kim, who is known to be dating a married man, has come out with her lesbian side, bringing her lesbian lover with her to events as her date, she even brought her daughters with her! Kim is certainly setting quite an example there. Kim is even rumored to be pregnant now! Wow! Enough already! Nene is having problems with her husband, she is rumored to be in the process of a divorce, Kandi is busy making her music and putting up with Kim's none talents. There are now two new wives who are busy having babies. Sheree, a major diva, now wants to get into acting and win an Oscar while in the midst of dating a doctor now.




Then there is "Housewives of Beverly Hills", Kyle is going to do a bike marathon and was advised to get a Brazilian wax, so she decides to have it done at home professionally with her daughter watching! Really? Really? Unbelievable. Meanwhile, Her sister Kim invites some guy over she met at the grocery store for dinner and to meet her kids. Taylor hosts a charity night playing poker, as she is asked to make a speech, she lets everyone know why she is committed to this charity. Lisa Vanderpump, what a name, and her live in friend have to get their United States drivers licenses and  have to travel to a less than desired neighborhood to the DMV and are grossed out by the people and the area. (Poor things!).

Tune in next week folks .... these housewives are a joke, but I love watching their idiocy.

Bridalplasty ...?????

I will admit that I haven't seen nor will I watch this ridiculous show. Television is just getting worse and worse and worse! This show promises to be a "bang your head against the wall" show. So put on your helmets if you plan on watching this monstrosity!
Bridalplasty consists of twelve brides-to-be from all walks of life. These brides will compete in challenges in order to win plastic-surgery procedures and each bride has a wish list of procedures they want, whether they need it or not. These women look perfectly normal, its hard to understand why any of them would even want to receive painful plastic surgery, besides the fact that they obviously vain. Its also an obsession for material things; the show promise a ultimate all expense paid dream wedding as a grand prize. The girls are clearly coached to be dramatic in their performances, screaming and crying outlandishly after winning a super-challenge puzzle that consists of about eight pieces that is a picture of themselves. The brides prize might be an invitation to an injection party! Imagine that!? These brides are not even realizing that those injections will wear off before the show is even over. I can see that television viewers are just chomping at the bit to see this all unfold.
Put on your helmets and don't forget I warned you! Catch it on E! TV.

Tabatha's Salon Takeover




This show is great! It features hair stylist Tabatha Coffey who visits various beauty salons in order to remake their salons in better places and teach the staff how to be professional or hit the road. Tabatha has no trouble in letting these people know they have to shape up or ship out! You must watch an episode or a few, you won't regret it!

The shows take place all over the United States and Tabatha is given one week to transform the salons. After that week is done Tabatha will then decide if the salon has improved and can open again or the salon is dead and needs to close. During that week at the salons, Tabatha teaches lessons on customer service, cleanliness, and current styling techniques to all employed at there. This show is a must, just to see her kick butt and put the most offensive stylist in their place is hilarious!

Here is a link to watch a few episodes:

Undercover Boss

This reality show is definitely a must, what more can you ask for than to see top executives dropping down to the level of the people they employee! An example would be a President of the company going undercover and becoming the new employee of that company, having to be trained by regular employees. These executives can see exactly what they are building in their companies and how the decisions they make affect their employees. They can also get a perspective on who the people are that are helping them or who the people are that are a detriment to the company.




Some of the executives that will appear on the show are Waste Managements C.O.O. Larry O'Donnell, Hooters C.E.O. Coby G. Brooks, 7-Elevens C.E.O. Joseph M. DePinto, Churchill Downs C.O.O. Bill Carstanjen, and Chicago Cubs Owner Todd Ricketts. These men are just a few that appear on the roster.

I have watched a couple of these episodes and have come to tears at the end of the shows. The executives usually end up recognizing their most hard working employees by going beyond the regular employer/employee relationship. The employers have helped the employees out with personal needs and growth in the company. I can see this show having many seasons in television.

Married to Rock

This reality show is about four different women, the one thing they have in common is that they are in relationships with either rocker husbands or rocker boyfriends. These four women have formed friendships in order to get through the touring, the groupies and the mayhem that come along with their honey's, each one trying to get through their relationships without going crazy.
The women are Etty Lau Farrell (married to Rocker Perry Farrell and she is a artist and manager of the Farrell household.), Josie Stevens (married to Rocker Steve Stevens and her career consists of Playboy, video game character, magazine covers, hair stylist and make-up artist), Susan Holmes McKagan (married to Rocker Duff McKagan, she is from San Diego and is a international supermodel), and AJ Celi (dating Rocker Billy Duffy and right now is a VIP director of Playhouse Nightclub in Hollywood).
What are we going to make of this reality show? Well I think we can chalk it up with all those other rock shows like "Rock of Love" and "Daisey of Love". Just another scripted drama filled show. I personally don't recommend this show, but if anyone wants to see this show you can check it out on E! television and online.
