I lost 42 minutes of my life watching a fake-ass doggy wedding promoted by Cawole?? And why wasn't ugly-ass Adam there to serve vegan treats to the doggies?

I saw. Those blind items were giving me LIFE last night (although I believe Bubbles = Sonja, not LuAnn, and the Girardis may be offering her legal advice!). I swear, don't trifle with Erika Jayne , bitches. She does not play. Bethenny has been so mean and arrogant lately that it is kind of fun to see somebody about as rich as her putting her in her place, because God knows nobody on RHoNY is.

Holy sh!t Nene! She looks like a completely different person! If you squint she looks like Lil Kim @ 5 surgeries ago. One thing I will say, her eyes look really pretty in those screen shots. I don't know if that is due to surgery or great make-up.

@Cheap21 Same, I thought they were solid too but it looks like Cube just wanted Hyuna to stay and the others to go. The rumor is that CEO Hong of Cube who put together Beast and 4Minute among other groups (and who wanted 4minute to always have a strong girl group concept) got sick two years ago and stepped down from their duties. A management company stepped in and cut costs and basically tried to run Cube like it was a low-cost, high-profit organisation. It's basically why Beast took it upon themselves to record and produce their own stuff because the copmpany wasn't offering them any help for promotions. 4Minute killed their Crazy comeback in 2015, but Act 3/Hate underperformed in 2016. So, because of one disappointing comeback, the management company decided 4minute was unprofitable. They decided to kill the group and only offer Hyuna a solo contract because she still makes them money, not just in terms of selling albums but also with her endorsements. The other 4 members were pushed out, basically. they have also unfollowed Hyuna on their respective Instagrams. It makes me so sad because apparently if CEO Hong was still there, he would never have let 4minute disband and would probably have promoted Hate differently too (i.e. made it a summer release). I also wish Hyuna would have gone with the rest of the members and maybe 4minute could have joined another entertainment company like JYP (even though that company has a ton of girl groups already). IMO 4minute were one of the better gg out there vocally, visually, dance-wise and I always liked their strong bond and concepts which were never cutesy or boring.

Yes, that was Brian Dowling of BB fame. Usually I like him and he can be a good host, but last night it was like he'd been watching too much Andy Cohen and was trying too hard to imitate him -- especially with the 'hellos' at the beginning. Ampika seems a pretty tough cookie, though personally I suspect Dawn is the OG of Cheshire. She looks amazing this season, clothing and hair-wise. Apart from these two, all the other HWs are pretty much sheep and I wouldn't miss them if they left.

I cant decide which i like more, Lucky One or Monster. Both are good tracks. Off the album though, I enjoy Cloud 9, One and Only and Heaven I like Kai's blonde hair here and it seems as if they are finally giving him more lines. The biggest surprise from this release is that Lay is still int he group. I thought he left earlier this year Ill beleive it when i see it. YG has been trying to make Jennie happen for YEARS. It never materializes into anything. Im surprised she hasnt gotten fed up nad left by now BTW, iKon dropped a new single and video last week Its pretty boring I love Monster both as a bop and in terms of the choreography. It gets the adrenaline going! However Lucky Ones has grown on me (it is v Shinee-like) and like you I love Cloud 9 as well. White Noise still has to grow on me. I also like Stronger just because it is kind of experimental in sound for a ballad. Kai has impressed me in that he is getting steadily less nasal vocally. Ofc I ALWAYS love his dancing and often have to watch a mv twice because the first time around he distracts me so much lol. Nope, Lay is still there. I'm glad. I hope he gets more face-time tho, but he is busy because he has so many individual activities in China. As for Taemin's album, I like Drip Drop and Sexuality best. YG is a mess. That is a dull sound for iKon! LOL, I only learned who was who by watching EXO Showtime (a TV show they did back in end 2013). Sehun is like the tallest member of the group, Chen is small and looks a bit like a dinosaur (in a handsome way), Suho looks like a kdrama actor with his dewy skin, Lay has dimples. lol don't know if that helps. Ahhhh the head bop! http://vine.co/v/iLOKlJIX3eF Blonde Kai gives me life. Pink-haired Kai gives me life. Dark-haired Kai gives me life. I am an unconditional fan of his extra self! In fact, I would consider him my 'bias' in k-pop as a whole. I love a talented dancer. Sad news in kpop world. My favourite girl group, 4minute have officially disbanded. Hyuna has resigned with Cube as a solo artist, the others will be looking at other agencies. I am gutted about this. I only discovered them in the last two years or so and always preferred the group over Hyuna's solo stuff (although I do like her, don't get me wrong). Anyway, here is an article about it: http://www.soompi.com/2016/06/13/cube-entertainment-reps-say-4minute-members-have-decided-to-disband/

I guess it was a bit much Jill and Kelly were psychotic in their pursuit of 'getting' Bethenny. However, just because the Countess was a big ole fake does not excuse the bullying, mean girl tactics of Bethenny and Carole in the last episode. I get that this attack was a LONG time in coming for Bethenny, I do. This is years of pent-up resentment for being looked down upon by LuAnn, Jill and Ramona back in the first few seasons of the show. Having said that, Bethenny should have done this earlier. Attacking LuAnn now for something she already admits to and OWNS -- and for the very thing Bethenny has just been caught out doing herself! -- makes Bethenny look bad all around. I can relate more to why Bethenny might be so resentful of LKuAnn after all this time... I cannot relate to Carole's underhand nastiness at all. Carole fucked LuAnn's niece's boyfriend and got called out on it and she couldn't stand that people might not think she farts rainbows and witty bons-mots. Her need to 'get back' at LuAnn almost two years later is really pathetic. Her strategy of getting others to fight her battles is obvious af, sadly. Yasss Lizzie put that try-hard sh*t-starter in her PLACE

Mene (typo and it stays) has a new nose! It;s really obvious. Has anybody seen her on fashion police? Her lines are pretty lame. Bethenny and Carole are the Jill and Kelly of NY this season. Not a good look. Luann is no saint but the way they treated her and indeed their host Dorinda was really bullying and rude. They think they are so much better than everybody else, and it reeks of favoratism because they are best buds with Andy Cohen. Carole is especially despicable in a lot of ways just because she married a Radzewill back in the early 90s. Now she's a lazy stoner who can;t even do her day job -- or even confront her enemies directly, it seems. She always has to have somebody else do her dirty work, namely Heather and now Skinnygirl.

@Matt: IMO, YG would do better on establishing the solid acts it already has tbh. The company sends Big Bang to tour for some easy $$$ and everybody else is locked in the YG dungeon until they are needed for filler purposes. Like where TF is Winner? It's like they've been put on indefinite hiatus! YG's favorite new baby iKON is nowhere to be seen despite a cb coming up (apparently). And if you are female, forget about it. Lee Hi got a solo album (two years after debuting!) but the promotions were pretty weak. 2NE1 were promised a cb, then Minzy left, then they were promised a cb as a 3-piece ensemble and NOTHING. CL has doing literally zero sh*t in the US for the past two years, despite getting some promotion in US Vogue a few months ago. That was the moment to release a single but, no, YG and Scooter Braun hemmed and hawed and we got some BS about CL wanting to "perfect" her tracks. This new girl group is going to get two weeks of promo and then they too will be hidden away. The way YG treats its talent (excluding Big Bang) is criminal. It is literally wasting the youth and potential of these kids. And it is not assuring its future by promoting them for when BB finally go to military service. I have no idea how YG remains the #2 ent company in SK with its mismanagement.

@Cheap21 EXO have dropped, girl! I am screaming and crying at the same time!! Lucky Ones sounds like a bop SHINee would do, I think you will really like that one. But for me, the real winner is Monster. I loved the song right away and couldn't get the beat out of my head as soon as I heard it. I also love the mv because it is so choreo-based and imo the choreography rocks so hard. It is up there with Overdose for me. Everything about the performance in that mv gives me chills (in a good way). These are my two favourite bits from the mv: KaiLay dance partnership FTW! P.S.: Sorry for spazzing but today has been my Exo Day lol.

I love how LuAnn owns her whorish ways. That's why I don't get this argument. I give Bethenny props for the "snake" comment, a direct pickup from season three, and mad props to The Countess for her Chic C'est La Vie mention (I actually like that song a lot, haha), but who is LuAnn really trying to fool at this point? She's open with the girls and open with the audience. I don't understand either. For over three seasons now the Countess has been shouting from the rooftops that she likes sex, she likes men and she likes to party. Bethenny jumped on this slut-shaming nonsense because Carole and Heather did this to LuAnn last season in St. Barts and she thought it would be a good tactic. What she fails to realize is that LuAnn's "Don't be all uncool" response last season actually endeared the audience to her. Bethenny likes to be alpha dog and she thinks Sonja and LuAnn are a joke, which is why she attacks them again and again. She doesn't attack Ramona or Dorinda nearly as much. The irony is that she underestimated LuAnn's ability to come back at her and stand up for herself. It is clear from the VTs that she realizes she did not eviscerate LuAnn with her put-downs *cough* sorry, I mean TROOF-TELLING. Another irony: as sloppy as she paints them, and as 'poor' (in relative terms) as they are, LuAnn and even Sonja seem 100 x happier than either Bethenny or her trusty steed Carole.

Bethenny: I've told you this, LuAnn. Our friendship hasn't really evolved. This summer it had a moment and no I'm not the judge and jury on who you bang and whatever, but you act like you were not like that... You're not a girl's girl, you said it, you are not a girl's girl. LuAnn: No, you're not a girl's girl, how's that? For your cookie jar. How's that? Bethenny: Give me some evidence. What man have I ever rolled up on anybody? What married man have I ever slept with? What young 25 year-old have I ever fucked and then given my friends sh*t about it? You are a hypocrite! You f*ck EVERYONE! And you pretend that you don't. I don't care if you are the biggest whore in Macy's window, but you pretend like you're appropriate, I am calling you out on your sh*t because no one besides me has the balls to do it. You are a SLUT, a liar, a hypocrite and a snake. That's the truth! I can't believe the slut-shaming that went on. Then everybody went to Bethenny's room to comfort her? WTF? LuAnn had the best VT moment tho: "Bethenny's relentless. It got to me at first, I was going to leave, but why am I going to let her ruin my good time? Like I say in my song Chic C'est La Vie, 'the little things can take you down but it's best to brush them off.' " Nice plug Countess.

Thank god for Jonghyun bc KPOP was getting boring. I LOVE Cocktail. I also really enjoy White T-Shirt and Dress-Up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdKhJ2Ns7ag I hate that he colored his hair pink for this comeback. Not feeling it Speaking of solo albums, Im just now getting into Taemin's and its so good. Definitely and improvement. Sexuality and Guess Who are my faves. They sound like the same song but I dont care bc its really good As for Shinee, they recently released an album from their tour last year. You should check out Excuse Me Miss. I love this rendition and Jonghyun's bridge towards the end. The rendition of Sherlock is also my fave. This album pulls in alot of their earlier songs they havent touched in a while and I like it. I need them to release the DVD of it already so I can see Minho strip They also put out that song in Japan. LOL at the Cats Beast Beast stepping out as a 5 member group. They will reportedly have a comeback this summerHyuensung's first verse in Yey was given to Dongwoon which makes me happy bc he is underused in their songs. The second verse went to Kikwang which I was less pleased with bc he cant sing. It should have went to Dujun Also worth noting: SHINee are coming to the US this summer! I believe they are headlining KCON in LA. I like Dress Up as well -- haven't listened to White Shirt yet. I also agree on Jonghyun's pink hair. It looks like candy floss but doesn't suit him at all. I haven't listened to Taemin's latest album but I will now! I did like his performance video for Drip Drop though. He is one of the best kpop dancers I have ever seen. lol omg I CANNOT at the cats! Glad to see Beast keeping i touch with their fans as a 5-person ensemble. LOL @ your comment about Kikwang. Well, they had to give the visual something to do, lol.

Word on pretty much everything you said. I do think Dorinda did the best she could in the circumstances. Dis-inviting Sonja was likely producer-mandated -- aka Bethenny refuses to film with TipsyGirl! How interesting that Carole does not demand the same thing with LuAnn. Looks like Carole badly needs LuAnn to hate on while LuAnn has her SLs with Bethenny, Sonja and Tom and couldn't care less. Personally I love Dorinda because she has a lot of heart. I hope she is not too deep into the *alleged* drugs. Personally I believe all the NY HWs are using/abusing something. Possibly coke. Allegedly. LuAnn's a partier. Sonja... well, we've all seen her high as a kite. Same with Ramona. Same with Dorinda. Bethenny and Jules? I don't know. Maybe as part of their weight-loss program? And Carole openly tokes and takes ecstasy because she is so hip to the 'young people' now. LuAnn owns that she loves men and loves having a good time. She smokes and parties and adores that whole nightlife/freebee invites thing. So I give her props for not pretending to be something she isn't. *side-eyes Phaedra* In NYC people are pretty open about their love life and dating around. LuAnn was totally baiting Bethenny when she said she 'helped' come up with the idea for Skinny Girl. I understand why Bethenny was pissed about that. However, Bethenny has been such an ice-cold bitch. She pretends she doesn't care about anything and is the truth-teller, but she is constantly belittling the other women. Being bitchy is not a sign of strength, it's a sign of weakness because she wants to be the only top dog on the show. I am sure she will kick LuAnn'd ass next week though for daring to suggest that Bethenny is not a lone business whizzkid. Ramona is tacky for not cleaning up after her pooping dog.

Hey Cheap! Shinee recently celebrated their 8th anniversary together. Jonghyun also released a solo album this week called She Is. I liked a couple of songs on there including Orbit and Cocktail. EXO comeback in early June, and I A BEYOND READY FOR IT. Big Bang might comeback also at the same time!

OK so some HWs old and current attended a couple movie premieres yesterday, and I wanted to share this because #FacialReconstructionWatch. I almost did not recognise Kelly Bensimon. Somebody blew her face up with fillers. Her breast implants look really high. Another bad boob job -- Sonja: I did not even recognize Kathy Wakile! I think she looks good! Ugh though. Look who she brought. Ramona. Still dressing her age. Is it me or does Kristen look different in the lip and chin area? I can't believe she would get her chin augmented but it looks extra strong here. It kills me to say this but Kyle looks effing amazing here: And so does Erika.

After watching a few minutes here and there of last seasons' NJ, I swore I would never watch the show again. It was absolutely awful. The three newbies made me want the Manzos and Wakiles back. However, I did watch that Teresa Behind Bars three-parter (or whatever it was called) and kind of fell back in love with Juicy and the Giudices again. This ^^ is actually a pretty good trailer considering last year's options. I can't help liking Juicy Joe and Chris Laurita, crooked as they are. I hope Juicy and Rosie reheat their bromance because that was the best thing ever. Spray-On Wig I sometimes forget is even on the show, pawing at his wife for sex. I cannot stand Jacqueline Laurita and her awful excuse for a daughter but I guess that classifies as a hate-watch. Same with Melissa Gorga. I hope we are spared Sushi Richie this year. Basically I hope this season delivers, it has a lot of ground to make up. As for the OC trailer -- I see Shannon Beador has not forgiven Vicki yet. I also see that David is still on his I'm Sorry I Had An Affair worldwide apology tour, and that Heather still cannot act (if that fake crying scene in the limo is anything to go by). And everytime I see Tamra, I just have this visceral reaction. I really cannot stand that foul woman. When is anybody ever going to call her ratchet ass out once and for all??

Don't worry, we all understand That may be another reason why I don't want to pick up Cheshire and Dallas also. Speaking of catching up... RHoNY: I cannot even process anything other than REY. That creepy, coked-up stalker. Anybody who chases LuAnn (of all people!) out of a party with an open bar HAS to be somebody you do not want to meet in a dark alley. Even Sonja, queen of bad judgement when it comes to who she surrounds herself with, was like "Get your face out of mine, you creepy f*ck." The fact that Ramona went to bat for this ass-boil speaks volume as to the person she is. We always knew Ramona to be selfish and rude on a Tourette's level. She was also a truth-teller on the show in an entertaining way which is kind of why she has stayed there so long. After the divorce from Mario, we all thought a more grounded Ramona was emerging, but it turns out she is as trashy and spiteful as she ever was. She glommed onto this crazy for one reason -- to get cruel gossip on LuAnn so she could continue to denigrate her around town. I can't stand John, but he was completely in the right when it came to throwing these two out of the party. Ramona is trash. Bethenny, as hateful and hard as she is, rightfully called out Sonja for all her shady business dealings including this latest one. I like Sonja and felt for her when she started to cry because Bethenny was cruel and harsh. However, Sonja is surrounded by Yes People who coddle her and probably rob her blind when she is passed out drunk on a bed. She needs to hear some cold, hard home truths. She has started some businesses which have gone nowhere and probably filched a lot of other people's money in the process. Bethenny is just letting her know that she is onto her and she won't be able to filch her business idea. The more Carole's boy toy, Adam, appears on the show, the more physically unappealing he comes across. To the point where I'm like "Princess Granny Bradshaw can do better, no?"

Janet was amazing! Did you catch her effortless shade of Pettifleur at the beginning of the show? "Who begs to diffah? Why do you need Spanx if you are in da best shape of your life?" I died laughing.

No problem! I've been checking this thread (and a certain downloads site) all week to see if it had been posted, so I would have found your post eventually!

OMG NBA I love you! I've been waiting forever for this Reunion to be released! I cannot believe how streamlined that was. Just ONE Reunion episode -- not three -- and pretty much all the major hits were covered. First of all, bow down to Alex "Care Factor Zero/I'm Not a Sex Worker" Perry. His hosting puts Andy Cohen to shame. Yes, he does seem to adore Janet the most, but he was fair with everybody and let everyone speak their peace and even tried to moderate the shouting. When he walked off and then came back and tore them all a new one I almost cried: "When you all talk AT THE SAME TIME, we get JACK. SH!T. Nothing. It's the third fuckin series! You know that! But no, jump in, everybody have a go... Jesus! What is the matter with you? OK, shut up, let's get this next one out." Gina: I love Gina but she was dismissive of Gamble's feelings and she shouldn't be. I love their friendship but it is clear that Gina is the more powerful one and views Gamble's friendship as one of many, whereas Gamble obviously looks up to GIna. It's too bad, because I do think Gina has let the fame go to her head a bit. Gamble: I love Gamble a LOT and always find myself sympathetic of her feelings. I can see she is struggling to maintain a friendship with Gina that is both give and take and on an equal par. Unfortunately, I don't think this is a friendship that Gina necessarily cares about and therefore it will lapse. And that's a pity because not all friendships are the same, and Gamble is probably a more loyal ally than a lot of Gina's tagalongs. I didn't particularly like Gamble standing up for Lydia tho. What is there to defend? Lydia is a fake and a snake. Susie: Susie is dull but direct, to the point, completely true to herself, and badly needed on a show like this. The way she outed Lydia for the rat she was concise and perfect. Other than that, I couldn't care less about her or her dating life. Janet: I can always count on Janet to bring it at these Reunions! Yes, the "you dumb, fat bitch" was way personal about Lydia. Doesn't mean it's not true, however. Pettifleur: At the end of the season it looked like Pettifleur, after being on the outs with everybody, was starting to gain some ounce of self-awareness. Oh well, looks like she has completely regressed on that personal growth. What a delusional nut. Still thinks she is on a fabulosity par with Joan Collins when she is at best a Z list wannabe. She just sounds ridiculous and vulgar. BTW, Janet's imitation of her ("Who begs to diffah? Why do you need Spanx if you are in da best shape of your life?") was uncanny! Jackie: I know she's an acquired taste. But I like her and think she is genuine on the whole. Yes, she is self-righteous, and it will be interesting to see what happens when she is eventually called out on her own mistakes. But she was the only one (along with Janet) willing to call out Lydia for the slime she is. Kudos. Chyka: I love her. Even though she barely spoke, she is clearly OVAH everyone and doesn't want to talk anymore about the rumors nobody can talk about. Obvs there must be gay rumors regarding Bruce. I don't think he is gay BTW. But she is done, and she wants to protect her family and her business. If RHoMelbourne returns for a season 4, I will miss her. Lydia: WTF was she wearing? She looked like a bride wearing a turtleneck who had been attacked by dogs on the way to the church. She got off easy considering, but I guess that was thanks to "legal issues" nobody is allowed to mention. Lydia is also the most unconvincing liar known to man. I don't think anybody believed that wet denial about not sleeping with Shane Warne. All in all... I hope RHOM will be back but it felt a little like goodbye so I don't know. Still, it has been my favorite RH franchise this year by a country mile. Just the way they have each other pegged is so glorious.

I don't really have much to say about RHoNY, except that I am done with any SL which has to feature Jawn or any mention of Jawn. Sonja is a [!@#$%^&*] idiot for thinking that she could launch a drinks line called Tipsy Girl and Bethenny would let her get away with that.

Smoker's voice. I know what you mean. I have that too. I watched a Y&R episode yesterday, and she was in it being Ashley the caring mother to Abby, and all I could think of was her snarling and banging her fist down on the table like an angry child, or telling Kathryn to "Zip It" on her birthday yacht ride mess. I'm really sad about that.

RHoMelbourbe: I'm late! What an awesome season finale. Melbourne is really good at not letting too much toxicity overwhelm the show (although the fact that Chyka is leaving after this season saddens me -- even though I know this is the best for her family and her business. Leave them wanting more, Chyka!). The show balances humor very well to dissipate tense situations, and I love that. Melbourne has been my favorite franchise this year as a result -- by some distance. Glad Lydia and Chyka made up like grown adults (see! This is why somebody like Chyka is needed to bring balance to the show. Gina, you are going to have to fulfil that role next season!), even though Lydiot is the biggest fake-ass on the planet. Her eyes kept wandering to the camera as she 'apologized,' as if to say "Hey! Are you catching what a good person I am?" All the ladies calling Lydiot out was a thing of beauty. This has been a long time in coming. Jackie stepped over the boundaries by bringing up an affair, even though Lydiot needed to be put in her place. Lydiot's denial in her VT ("What a pig") was so unconvincing. Her form of defense it to belittle everybody else? Bye, bimbo. She is such a poor liar. I'll be stunned if anybody wants to film with her next year. Also the donkeys for her mum's birthday? Reeks of try-hard. Pettifleur seems more humble and self-analyzing rn, but who knows how long that will last before that needy, monstrous ego rears its head again? Jackie's reading for Susie almost has me convinced that her gifts are 100% genuine.

Wow, that is sad news! I really like Chyka a lot. Not only did she throw some spectacular events for the show but she was also a voice of reason and accountability on the show. Too bad she's going, because now there will likely be more [!@#$%^&*]-stirring and ridiculous OTT reactions *cough*Pettifleur*cough*
