Makes sense. Was her yearly salary ever disclosed?

As well, Apollo Nida's convictions related to fraudulent acts against approximately 50 people, while the Giudice's fraud related to their claims of bankruptcy and overestimating their income to obtain loans. In terms of victims, the Giudice's victims were banks, while Apollo Nida's victims were banks, individuals, companies and the US Treasury (he used US Treasury cheques with the personal information he stole from the individuals, ie: identity theft). The nature of the offences matter in sentencing.

No, Joe and Teresa plead guilty to nine counts. They were originally charged with 42, prosecutors dropped the other 33 charges (which were likely weak or ancillary) after they plead guilty.

Apollo was a previously convicted criminal, Joe Giudice is not, that's why his sentence was more lenient.

Interesting that Whoopi totally acknowledged the fight, gave her position on it and is clearly moving on from it. She'd be good to work with because she's an adult. Rosie has said that she finds being on a team difficult and that she does like to drive her own bus, so her return to The View surprised me...maybe she wanted some visibility, maybe she thought she had changed, maybe she needed the money or wanted to top up the coffers for retirement...I'll be surprised if she stays longer than a season or two.

You bet that's Brad Bell! How fun would that be for Ashley Abbott to pop up on a business trip on B&B with Empress Lisa and Lisa R making cameos!

It doesn't surprise me. Her career has faltered...so she returns and it may get her another Bravo show. LuAnn was on WWHL last night, so hopefully that bodes well for her role on the show, for she was the MVP.

The Broadway gig is short term, Glee is ending this year, HSN makes up numbers all the time (all her clothing is in stock from what I can see right now on their site) and apparel lines only give her a percentage of profits, not the straight net earning, and Fashion Police is, at this time, a rumour. I'm not hating on Nene at all, I like her, but she has to be careful that she doesn't bite the hand that feeds her, especially when she doesn't have a home bought and paid for free and clear and appears to live quite high. She should be investing long term for her future when Housewives is over and she isn't relevant anymore. She's 46, she's over the hill by Hollywood standards, so she needs to be careful.

I don't think Nene can afford to have this season be her swan song, her career has seriously stalled, and once she is off the show she doesn't have a platform anymore and once that visibility goes, so too does what's left of her career. She really needs to ride the wave of the show until it's cancelled, and start seriously saving her money. She hasn't even bought a house yet!

I had to check to see Barbara Windsor's special cameo...and while, yes, it seemed like she was playing more Babs than Peggy (I really think the hair has something to do with it), I loved seeing her.

I'll be tuning back into Atlanta...that trailer looks GREAT! A good balance between drama and fun. I don't know how anyone can defend Marlo, a woman convicted of aggravated battery, a second degree felony, with parole violations including illegal possession of a firearm and a misdemeanour charge for bank fraud, praising her as some goddess or queen, and at the same time trash Porscha, a total idiot, who was charged for assaulting Kenya....both women are batterers! Both women are scum! The only difference between them is that Marlo was convicted of a felony.

It might turn out great...but Cheshire is the Beverly Hills of Northern England, not London and the difference between Northern English people and Southern English people is startling. Empress Lisa is from the South of England (Kent to be exact), so don't expect her accent to come out of any of the Cheshire ladies' mouths. They'll be flashy and perhaps a little rough...but Vancouver and Melbourne have proven what a success international RH franchises can be.

That's how I feel. Tamra is one you can love to hate and cheer for her enemies when they destroy her (like Vicki did with her epic "You're Miserable" monologue at the reunion)...Kyle's just an ugly hearted bitch whose never moved past highschool. Kyle makes me fast forward. Tamra never does.

Even when it isn't airing the RHOA drama dominates.

From the sounds of it Barbara is being muzzled by ABC: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/live-barbara-walters-view-sources-article-1.1947927

Nolan Miller was a hidden gem of Hollywood gossip, he knew where all the bodies were buried and he didn't give a flying f*ck about whether people cared for his opinion because he was saying it anyway...and he was kind. He and Joan Collins were very, very close friends. In her 2013 memoir, Passion for Life, she has a section on her close friends and Nolan has several pages dedicated to him. Although he and Linda went way back it was Joan who he stuck with. Joan hosted his memorial, inviting several Dynasty cast members, all dressed super glamorously. Nolan, like Joan, thought Pamela Sue Martin was so stupid to quit the show when she did, especially since Emma Samms, while generally panned as Fallon, was extremely well liked behind the scenes and secured herself the job for life.

Camille has been photographed filming with the ladies, not sure if Taylor's been spotted yet. As you've rightly pointed out, we haven't heard much from Yolanda...hmmm. And wouldn't it be great to film Dana/Pam in prison? We can dream!

Exactly. Queen Eileen can do whatever she damn well wants when it comes to the irrelevant Kim. I'm curious to see how Lisa Rinna and Queen Eileen do/do not get along. I am also hearing that Brandi has clashed with Lisa Rinna...this might be a good season. Here's the story: http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/09/real-housewives-beverly-hill-rhobh-eileen-davidson-kim-richards-feud/

Radar Online is reporting that Eileen Davidson and Kim Richards have clashed on RHOBH and that Eileen is constantly rolling her eyes at Kim and that she comes off as "aloof"....GOOD! As if I couldn't love Eileen more, hatred of Kim has just raised her in my eyes!

They're going to have a really great life in Australia. Great decision for Simon and Alex and their boys.

Go Wendy! Those ratings of hers are nothing to scoff at. I have long said that she is next Oprah...not in terms of the show itself and the tone and her reach per se, but just as Oprah captured the zeitgeist, so has Wendy. She launched at exactly the right moment. I love her show. I love her. How you doin?

Man, that's everything.

I thought it was a strong start. I like the set, I thought the Barbara Walters cameo at the beginning was wise to do (as if that shady ho was actually going to retire?), the Joan Rivers tribute was lovely and the chemistry seems to be there. But they need a 5th woman at the table.

Andrea was to Melbourne what that cow Jody Claman was to Vancouver. Not getting rid of Jody was what made season 2 of Vancouver so toxic and why it died such a vile death.
