The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Danielle Staub Stirs the Pot

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is back!


Wednesday’s season premiere of the Bravo hit started the process of filling in the blanks for fans and set up the season’s big villain: Danielle Staub. 



Teresa Giudice, in particular, was all about switching up her look for a bikini fitness competition and that meant doing some exercising and clean eating. 


“With Joe being away right now, there is a lot of stress raising four daughters on my own, and working out is a great stress relief for me,” she explained to viewers, adding:


“So I definitely kicked it up a notch and entered a bikini fitness competition.”


Teresa was visibly more toned than she was when we last saw her, so she’s definitely doing something right. 


And while many have been quick to claim Teresa’s relationship with Joe is on thin ice, then the premiere may have proven just that. 



“I wanted to do this when Joe was home, and he always said to me, ‘You’re not doing that.’ He was like, ‘You’re not going on stage in a bikini,"” she said to her personal trainer. 


“It’s another year until he comes home, so I was just like, ‘I’m just doing it. I don’t care what he says."”


“So have we told him yet?” her trainer questioned.


“No,” Teresa responded with a grin. 


“Since Joe’s been away, I have gotten used to my independence. I haven’t been independent like this — I don’t think ever, but I am doing this fitness competition for me,” Teresa said in a confessional.



“I don’t care what anybody thinks — my husband or anyone. Sorry, Joe!”


It’s certainly intriguing that Teresa managed to adapt without her husband, and her wording does seem to imply that it’s her way or no way going forward. 


Now that we know Joe is facing deportation from the United States, it certainly raises questions about whether Teresa would go to Italy with him. 


This is all assuming the appeal is denied, of course, but still, there’s going to be a lot of drama on the new season of this series if it chronicles Teresa continuing to veer away from married life. 


Teresa is the woman who is prone to lash out when her buttons are pushed, but this new iteration of her was sober and very empowering. 



How long will that last? We give it a handful of episodes. 


Elsewhere, we finally got some much-needed insight into Dolores Catania’s relationship with her ex-husband, Frank, who was allegedly disbarred as an attorney. 


If you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online, you know that Andy Cohen quizzed Dolores on the most recent reunion episode, and Dolores had no clue what he was talking about. 


“Frank broke my trust 20 years ago when he cheated on me, and over the past 20 years, Frank and I have built that trust again,” Dolores dished in a confessional.


“But now it’s gone, because when Frank was disbarred, Frank didn’t tell me about it, and I found out in the most public way possible,” she continued. 



“I was embarrassed, and I looked like a liar. And that’s what pissed me off the most.”


“Since Frank lost his law license, I worry. Are we financially okay? Because we have two kids in college,” she added.


And while Dolores is still mad at Frank, they have a new business venture that’s helping them out. 


“Our gyms do great, but that’s not stable. So now, Frank and I are flipping houses together. We’ve done this in the past.”


“Frank hires the people to do the construction, and I would sell them. I was the realtor. Right now, we’re on our second flip. The first one sold, and the money’s good!”


Oh, and if you’re wondering, Dolores is still dating her boyfriend, and he’s totally not concerned about Frank. 


If the boyfriend were not part of the equation, one would think that Dolores and Frank were still an item. They live together, have a lot of chemistry, and still have the arguments people in love have every other day. 



Hell, even someone as wild as Danielle Staub picked up on it last season and used it to her advantage multiple times. 


Danielle is the type of person to cling to a storyline for dear life in order to get her face back on the small screen again. 


Her antics last season never landed her the regular cast member status, so look for her to amp up the crazy a few notches this year. 


The good thing here is that everyone seems to be picking up on Danielle’s stirring. Teresa and Margaret were open and honest with Dolores about Danielle quizzing them about Frank being disbarred. 


Dolores seemed like she was going to flip the eff out at Melissa Gorga’s 39th birthday party, but the new house flipper left the situation entirely and stood at another part of the room. 


Oh yes, this feud is going to be fun!


What are your thoughts on the premiere?

Caryn Chandler Snubs Amy Roloff, Stirs Tension at Family Birthday Party

Little People, Big World…


… major tension?


On the surface, Matt and Amy Roloff get along just about as well as any formerly married couple possibly can.


They split in 2015, yet still star on a reality TV show together and still pose for photos such as this together:



However, a couple recent reports have hinted strongly that there’s some trouble in this TLC-based paradise.


First, as previously detailed, nearly every member of this famous family was on hand last weekend because it’s pumpkin picking season at the Roloff farm in Oregon.


This included Caryn Chandler, Matt’s girlfriend since March and the farm manager, an awkward arrangement considering how well she knew Amy before she started to date her ex-husband.


Sources have said Chandler basically acted like the matriarch of the clan, as she “ran the show” with Matt while Amy was shoved to the background.


You can read all about this controversy below:



The Daily Mail, meanwhile, has a follow-up account from the weekend, focusing on how Caryn organized a birthday party for Matt.


It was meant to be a surprise and loved ones such as Jeremy, Matt, Tori and Jackson all attended… but Amy wasn’t even invited!


Even though the gathering took place on her co-owned property!


“Caryn made sure some of the farm hands were there as well, and gave out party hats to some of the crowd who had gathered behind the main gift shop,” an insider tells the British publication, adding:


“The odd thing was that Amy Roloff was on the other side of the barn doing meet and greets with the general public and wasn’t asked by Caryn to participate.


“It definitely felt like she was being usurped at her own farm by Matt’s new girlfriend.”


This appears to be an ongoing problem.



Those who watch Little People, Big World online and/or have followed these stars closely are aware that Amy has been dating Chris Malek for over 10 months now.


It’s not as though she’s alone and jealous.


But it is as though Caryn may be trying to replace her role within the family in some ways.


“I never once saw Amy speak to Caryn, there’s a real tension there,” The Daily Mail insider adds, expounding as follows:


“The kids seem caught in the middle. This was baby Jackson’s first day at the farm during pumpkin season, it was kind of a big deal and Amy was shut out.”



Amy and Matt finalized their divorce last year.


But they remain business partners, parents to four kids and now grandparents to a pair of babies.


Jackson was born to Zach and Tori in May, while Ember Jean was born to Audrey and Jeremy last month.


“It was obvious that Matt and Caryn run the show during pumpkin season, while Amy has been relegated to “greeter” on the farm she spent decades helping to create,” this report concludes.


That sounds awkward.


Let’s hope this alleged tension doesn’t impact Matt and Amy’s relationship too much.


We’d hate to see such a close-knit family torn apart.

Jenni Duggar Pic Stirs Controversy: SHORT-SHORTS?!

Did Jinger Duggar start a miniature revolution within the Duggar clan?


Jinger Duggar is a regular firebrand — if by “firebrand” you mean “someone who wears normal human clothing when she wants to.” Jinger has worn pants and she’s even worn shorts, with the photos causing scandal among fans of the Duggars.


Well Jenni Duggar turned 10 last week, and the photo is stirring up controversy with the show’s fans.



It’s no secret that members of the Duggar fertility cult and those who share their particular vein of fundamentalist beliefs view women as, essentially, property.


Girls are property of their fathers, who exercise total control over them, until they hand over the reigns to the young woman’s husband.


The husband, at that point, becomes the master of her life.


It’s pretty awful.


Part of the control exercised is over the woman’s body, treating her as property that needs to stay in its packaging or whatever.



Duggar girls are forced to be part of what’s called modesty culture, where showing things like their shoulders or parts of their thighs or, heavens forbid, cleavage is tantamount to apostasy.


It’s important to note that the problem is that they’re forced to do so.


Women can choose to cover up as much or as little as they like, whether they’re wearing a bikini or a niqab.


The Duggar girls were never given a choice. Jim Bob’s word was law.


It’s no wonder that Josh Duggar refuses to accept responsibility for molesting his sisters and those other girls.


In the Duggar household, women’s bodies are sinful flesh that’s irresistible when seen.


Jinger Duggar, however, appears to have escaped … sort of.



Jinger Duggar went off and married Jeremy Vuolo.


Jeremy Vuolo is definitely a conservative and seems like a perfect fit for the Duggar subculture.


Seriously — recently Jeremy Vuolo said that Trump has divine authority, so … yikes.


(Technically his sermon may have just been less an endorsement and more about reinforcing divine authority in governmental leadership positions, which is a view that fell out of favor centuries ago)


However, it seems that Jeremy is a little (well, a lot) more lenient than Jim Bob when it comes to wardrobe choices, because Jinger has been spotted wearing shorts and pants instead of dressing like it’s colonial times.


Jinger’s even bared her arms, those limbs of sinful flesh that will surely ensnare all men who gaze upon her.


But now it’s a photo from the birthday party of a different Duggar girl that’s causing a stir.



Jenni Duggar turned 10 and she and her friends went to a place where they can do, like, minigolf and that sort of thing.


But you’ll notice that people can clearly see the knees of one of those girls.


“Who’s the girl wearing the shirts shorts?” one fan commented, seemingly aghast that a Duggar girl would be in this girl’s company.


Most fans concluded that the girl was one of Jenni Duggar’s friends, but still — the Duggars are in insular bunch.


(After all, exposure to different people and different ideas might give the children dangerous notions about freedom and self-determination)


Some fans who might be fans of modesty culture were frustrated by the responses:


“I guess some people don’t know what modesty looks like so sad some of these comments.”


Not everyone who participates in that subculture enforces the rules upon little girls.


Others might enforce them upon minors but not care so much once their children become adults.


Furthermore, it may be that the Duggars are fine if Jenni’s in that girl’s company, so long as Jenni is dressed “properly.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 12 Episode 2 Recap: Lydia Stirs The Pot

The ladies were ready to party, but that did not mean they were putting their drama on the backburner. 


Tamra planned a birthday bash on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 12 Episode 2, and she was stressing about who to invite. 



When the episode got underway, Shannon had her longtime feng shui consultant inspect her new house. Yes, we’re jealous because the consultant was a hoot. 


She wanted to make sure Shannon’s home was up to scratch, and part of that was firing out crazy phrases, and all Shannon could do was look on. 


Elsewhere, Vicki’s office manager, Linda was introduced to viewers and much like Shannon’s consultant, she brought some much-needed laughs onto the show. 


Because Vicki’s business was apparently doing solid business, she was upgrading offices this season, and she was worried about it. Vicki was being her usual petulant self and stressing the eff out. 



Linda, however, knows Vicki all too well and managed to calm her down without a big blowout confrontation. Vicki then noted that Shannon had used the same feng shui consultant she was planning on using. 


Yes, it’s frowned upon to use the same one, so let’s just say Vicki is not even going there and will need to find an alternative.


After another throwaway scene of Meghan being the doting mother, we switched gears to Lydia who had started a new magazine with her husband. 


It’s called Nobleman, and it’s about “what it’s like to be a gentleman in the world today.”


Um, alright then. 



Lydia’s husband then told her not to hug Peggy because she recently had a double mastectomy. However, upon meeting Peggy, Lydia went straight for the jugular. 


“They told me not to hug you,” she revealed to Peggy. Considering Lydia was the one who instigated the conversation, it was disheartening to find her being annoyed with Peggy for speaking about her illness. 


We then moved to Tamra’s birthday party for her granddaughter. Vicki did not make the cut for the guest list, but her daughter Breanna did. Tamra had unfollowed Breanna on social media after her fight with Vicki.



So, things were pretty darn awkward. Breanna made an early exit because she felt like all of the drama was unnecessary.


Things got tense when Lydia sat Tamra and Shannon down to let them know that she chatted with Vicki over lunch and felt they could still be friends.


On top of that, Lydia said they were “acting the same way almost [Vicki] acted.”


Shannon flipped out, and Lydia accused her of being hostile, and it did not go down well. Shannon was upset because of the party being ruined at the expense of her relationship with Vicki. 



That’s a wrap on all the drama, and something tells us it’s just getting started. 


What do you think of it all?


Sound off below!

LaMelo Ball Drops N-Word, Stirs More Family Controversy

The Big Baller Brand made it presence felt on Monday Night RAW this week.


Much to the chagrin of sensors and critics everywhere.


Lead by father LaVar Ball, sons LaMelo Ball and Lonzo Ball made an appearance on professional wrestling"s biggest stage, riding the wave of momentum from Lonzo being selected in the first round of the NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers last Thursday.


Lonzo is coming off a stellar freshman season at UCLA, while LaMelo will play for that same university in 2019.



LaVar Ball, meanwhile, has served as the mouthpiece for his family ever since Lonzo started impressing scouts with his play in college, working the business side of things like an extreme version of Kris Jenner.


Having issues several controversial statements and stopped by various shows on ESPN and other sports networks, it was only natural that LaVar would end up on RAW.


But he didn"t say anything too scandalous last night.


Instead, LaMelo Ball is the family member currently making negative headlines.



While his father was in the ring (shirtless, of course) and talking trash to wrestler The Miz, a live microphone caught LaMelo telling his dad to "beat that n—a ass," on two occasions.


LaMelo is 15 years old, we should note.


A representative for the Ball family could not be reached for comment late Monday night, but WWE responded to the racial slur use as follows:


"The inappropriate language used by a guest during the "Miz TV" segment was not scripted nor reflects WWE"s values."


Watch the following video to see LaVar in the ring and to hear LaMelo utter this word.


Perhaps the family will recede a bit from the spotlight going forward after this misstep, but we somehow doubt it…

Airbnb Super Bowl Ad Takes Aim at Trump, Stirs Internet Debate

Airbnb most definitely went there during Super Bowl LI.


One of several Super Bowl commercials with a political bent, the following commercial aired during the first half of the Falcons-Patriots game, quickly causing its company and its affiliated hashtag to trend.


And that hashtag was this "#WeAccept."



An outspoken corporate critic of Donald Trump and his recent Executive Order (aka the Muslim Ban), Airbnb has made its objection to the President"s policies very clear over the past week or so.


“We believe no matter who you are, where you’re from, who you love or who you worship, we all belong," the commercial says.


"The world is more beautiful the more you accept.”


The Airbnb ad aired just nine days after President Trump signed an executive order to temporarily close America’s borders to all refugees, along with citizens of seven mostly Muslim countries.


The commercial does not mention this controversial ruling (which has since been challenged in court) specifically… but it"s obvious what the company is referring to in the spot.


According to The New York Times, Airbnb did not even plan on advertising on the Super Bowl until its recently learned there was inventory remaining.


In a memo to employees after the executive order, Airbnb’s chief executive, Brian Chesky wrote the following:


“This is a policy I profoundly disagree with, and it is a direct obstacle to our mission at Airbnb."


That same weekend, the company started to provide free and subsidized temporary housing for those who had been affected by the immigration restrictions.



The founders of Airbnb also penned a lengthy message on their official website soon after the ad aired.


"These efforts are just the beginning, and we hope you consider joining us by sharing your home with someone who is displaced or donating to organizations that assist those in need," it reads.


"It’s possible that a child today will grow up in a different kind of world, one where they"re accepted for who they are, no matter where they are.


"Because we really do believe that the world is a better, more beautiful place the more we accept each other

Miley Cyrus Ring Photo Stirs Debate: Is She Married?!?

Congratulations may be in order for Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth.


Then again, they may not be.



On Sunday afternoon, the 23-year-old artist posted an Instagram photo that depicted herself and a friend lounging by the pool.


Not big deal, right? Just you wait…


Cyrus donned a bikini emblazoned with pictures of Seth Rogen, marijuana leaves and other things she likes; along with a conspicuous new addition to her ring finger.


Yes, her RING finger.


“Pool daaaaaze,” Miley captioned the photo, not even commenting on the piece of jewelry.


But take a look at that ring finger, folks! Cyrus is clearly rocking a gold band that appears to be set with small diamonds.



And she must have known it would be the focus of everyone looking at this image, right?


Cyrus reconciled with former fiance Liam Hemsworth this spring.


Neither side has confirmed that the couple is engaged again, and certainly neither side has said a word about any kind of surprise wedding.


But Miley did share a picture of Liam and one of her dogs last week, writing as a caption: 


“So much love in one pic.”


It was one of the few times she’s commented at all on her romance with The Hunger Games hunk.


For all the ways critics hate on Miley for how she supposedly craves attention, no one can accuse her or Hemsworth of milking their relationship for any kind of publicity.


They scarcely ever talk about it, in interviews or on their own social media accounts.


Cyrus, though, has been offering up cute hints here and there, such as the tattoo she recently got in Liam’s honor.


The singer and the Australian actor dated for years before he proposed in 2012.


The stars called off their engagement and broke up a year later, but have reconnected in recent months.


“They have been very close for the past few months,” an insider close to Cyrus told People in January. “They just wanted to keep their relationship out of the spotlight while they figured things out.”


We can respect and understand that.


And if Miley and Liam have, in fact, gone ahead and gotten eloped, we can also send them our best wishes.


Good luck, you crazy kids!

Kim Kardashian Stirs Controversy with Latest Cleavage Photo

Kim Kardashian sharing a photo of her enormous cleavage is not exactly an unusual event.


Moreover, it’s typically a move that elicits praise from folks on the Internet, especially those with a penis.



So, why has Kardashian’s latest boob-based photo (below) drawn harsh criticism from the world of social media?


Because she shared it within days of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile being killed by police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota, respectively.


The former was shot dead by officers despite being detained on the ground at the time… while the latter had his life taken inside a car with a woman and child.


“Pre photo shoot fittings,” Kim captioned the following photo.


Even for Kim Kardashian, this is an especially extreme cleavage picture.



Still, it would have come and gone without much fanfare, except that many online think it was inappropriate of Kim to share it in light of the controversial Sterling and Castile deaths.


“How about speaking on something relevant like #altonsterling?? Your voice could be influential in getting the non Blacks to actually participate in his movement,” one commenter wrote.


Another added:


“@kimkardashian are you aware of the killings of black men that have been happening? Your husband and son are black. Are you concerned?”


And still another individual called out Kardashian for appropriating black culture, saying:


“I wish you cared about us black people as much as you emulate the black community.”


Truth be told, Kardashian has actually spoken out on pressing issues more than usual of late.


She recently chimed in on the Senate shooting down multiple gun control bills, for example.


She also Tweeted surprisingly profound thoughts after the tragic Orlando nightclub shooting in June.



Should she have waited another day or two before posting yet another nearly-naked selfie?


Out of respect for Sterling and Castile? Sure. It would have been nice.


But look at it this way: at least Kim didn’t cite these killings as the caption to a photo of herself on a yacht.


You know, like a certain other celebrity out there actually did.
