The Good, Bad & WTF: The Wango Tango Festival

L.A.’s Wango Tango fest gathers together pop stars and music fans for a day of music and fun. Justin Bieber was there, which makes sense, but also “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” trainwreck Taylor Armstrong. Does she even know who Justin Bieber is? There was lots of outrageous/horrible fashion, too, because 1) It’s a festival

LeAnn Rimes Fears Brandi Glanville Might KILL Her

LeAnn Rimes’ uneasy relationship with Brandi Glanville has been well established, but new reports have shed light on just how uneasy things once were. Glanville, now a star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills , made other threats so serious that Rimes seriously considered getting a restraining order. Rimes, now married to Glanville’s ex-husband Eddie Cibrian, began an affair with Eddie while he and Brandi were married. This did not go over well. “Brandi has told LeAnn to her face multiple times that she would kill her if she could,” a source close told Celebuzz of the bad blood that boiled. Should LeAnn be scared for her safety? Even now? “LeAnn is scared of Brandi and believes she is unstable. LeAnn’s own mother is concerned for her daughter’s safety too and regularly calls her to tell her so.” In an interview with Australia’s NW magazine, Brandi Glanville recalled how she flew into a rage the first time she saw Rimes at her son’s soccer game. “I remember walking up to practice and there she was with my baby in her lap,” Brandi said. “My blood was boiling, and I thought I was going to kill her .” “I really thought I was going to physically hurt her.” “But that was the first time I saw her that way – she was sitting in my soccer chair, under my tent, she’s got my kid on her lap and she’s there with my husband, and that was that little moment of total irrational fury.” Despite taking to Twitter Monday to declare “the articles online are incorrect,” Brandi has gone public about the brash, murderous feelings before. Fuelling Rimes’ fears, in an interview with Mix XM’s Hot Moms Club Radio on April 28 2011, Glanville admitted, “The first time I saw my baby sitting in her (LeAnn’s) lap, I wanted to kill her… I wanted to murder her.” Well … at least Glanville’s honest and doesn’t own any firearms. Probably. She also slashed Eddie Cibrian’s tires at one point, then admitted it. Glanville was married to Cibrian for eight years before they split in 2009.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Drowning Pool

Here comes the drama. Hanging out by the pool. Doesn’t that sound relaxing? Yes, unless you’re on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Then it’s pretty much the exact opposite. Then you’ll probably need a stiff drink to get through an afternoon in the sun. We recap all the fussing, feuding, and name calling in our THG’s +/- recap! How can you not love Caroline’s mock phone call between Teresa and Joe? It was hilarious. Plus 10 .? And why does Caroline think Teresa hates Melissa. Because “she’s a better, younger version” of Teresa. Plus 8 . That sounds about right. But as everyone else is discussing Teresa’s behavior, Teresa is telling her husband her version of the Solstice party and Joe has some definite opinions. First, Melissa is a horse-face, gold digging tramp. Caroline is boring. Rosie’s a butchy boy, and the idiot cousin (I can only assume he means Kathy … no offense to Kathy) looks like a frog.? Joe Guidice certainly has an opinion about everyone but the scariest is the one he holds about himself. He tells Teresa he’s the powerhouse and she doesn’t need anyone else. Minus 12 . What happens when they haul his sorry butt off to jail again? Oh, and Teresa says her brother is a little pansy for telling his wife about their conversation. How can you not love family? But Teresa’s not just sitting around bad mouthing her family. She’s off to Jacqueline’s for some gossip and a session with personal trainer Jolene.? Why does Jolene have an open bottle of wine in her bag?? I’ve never known a trainer her brought her own cocktails. Minus 7 . Besides, you should never hire a personal trainer who shows up wearing that much makeup to workout. On a side note, was anyone else blinded by the amount of bling on Teresa’s phone. Minus 5 . My eyes are still watering. Let’s leave the train wreck that is Teresa for a bit to visit with Caroline’s family. It almost made me sick to think that Chris was buying an $80,000 car. It disturbed me so much that I was grateful when Albert gave Caroline the Jag as her anniversary present. Plus 7 . But it wasn’t the overpriced car that earns them the big points. Plus 20 for walking us down memory lane at The Brownstone. Looking back at their first years living over the restaurant and raising their new family was so sweet. These two truly love one another 27 years later. Unfortunately, the Teresa free zone doesn’t last long. Kathy invites the entire gang over for the end of the school year party.? Plus 12 to Rich for warning the kids not to invite their friends. He can see the warning signs ahead and he’s getting the innocents out of the way. Caroline and Jacqueline both bail and plus 10 for Joe Guidice not showing up. That truly would have been a nightmare. For some reason Kathy thinks she can be the glue that will bring the Guidices and the Gorgas back together. Minus 12 . Oh honey, let it go. Teresa and her brother have a mini summit as Melissa runs around after the kids. Teresa tells Joe he’s no longer her brother because of what he’s done. She wants him to be the old Joe. The one that always put her first and spent lots of time at her house. Hmm…uh, what part of being married and having kids doesn’t Teresa get. Minus 15 . The man has a wife and a family yet she seems to think he should be his priority. Oye. He’s just the meanest brother ever!? Unfortunately Gorga ruins the moment by telling her he’s an angel from God. Apparently low self esteem isn’t a problem in this family. I think that’s enough pool time. It’s going to be a long, hot summer in Jersey. EPISODE TOTAL: +16! SEASON TOTAL: -116!

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Whines by Wives

Last week the RHOC left off with Vicki speechless after learning that Briana eloped . This week, Vicki has Briana in tears, and they don’t appear to be tears of joy. Find out what happened in THG’s +/- review! Vicki and Tamra meet up at a lingerie store for bra fittings. Vicki’s bra fitter thinks she’s a FF. Tamra’s a 32D, which she feels is impossible given recent surgical de-enhancements. Tamra suggests that Vicki get Briana some bridal lingerie for her honeymoon. Minus 30 for the gross factor of your mother buying you lingerie. Ew. EW EW EW. Vicki thinks Briana’s eloping is disrespectful and wrong and is upset that it robbed her of all of the wedding planning “fun.” Minus 10 for being selfish, Vicki. This isn’t about you. I’ll give you a Plus 5 for realizing this isn’t about you and knowing you have to suck it up. But ONLY 5 because I don’t trust you to follow through with this. Slade’s getting ready to go for a ride on his bicycle and Gretchen’s getting ready for lunch with Tamra. Gretchen just wants everyone to get along. Slade just wants to get married to Gretchen. He meets up with Gretchen’s dad on his ride and asks for her hand in marriage. Plus 10 for being the gentleman Ryan wasn’t when he eloped with Briana. Slade doesn’t know if Gretchen’s ready, but he at least wants to let her know that those are his plans. Pops says he sees a wedding off in the distance and says that Slade needs to clean up his image before he gets the seal of approval. Then they ride off together into the sunset. Gretchen and Tamra meet for lunch and cocktails and Tamra tells Gretchen she’s thinking of starting her own business. She wants to open a fitness studio and she’s telling Gretchen first (after Eddie, of course). Something tells me this won’t make Vicki happy. Then Tamra asks Gretchen what’s up with Gretchen and Slade. Gretchen says she supports Slade in everything he does, but the past three years have been tough. Slade has debt issues and if Gretchen marries him, his issues become her issues. She’s financially sound and doesn’t want to ruin that. Plus 10 . And Gretchen doesn’t think she wants to get married because of unresolved issues from her previous marriage. Something tells me she and Slade are going to have an interesting conversation. Vicki’s getting ready for a party. She and Tamra are launching a wine company. They’ve decided the party should be a formal party because people in Orange County never get dressed up. Ever. (Uh, The O.C. told me differently, Vicki.) And she’s going to make the announcement that Briana’s married. Because this is a big deal that everyone is going to freak out over, right? Minus 10 , Vicki. This announcement is more about you than it is about anyone else, including Briana and Ryan. From the one-on-one, it seems like Briana has issues with the fact that Vicki’s divorce isn’t final but she’s dating Brooks already. Hmmm, pot? Kettle? Vicki’s planning to introduce Brooks to her kids at the party when she knows that Briana’s not ready to meet Brooks. I can almost feel the fireworks already, can’t you? The flashbacks from previous seasons show just how delusional Vicki is regarding Briana and their relationship. Tamra and her son arrive at the launch party for the wine club first with Vicki and Brooks close behind. Tamra thinks Vicki’s headed for a nervous breakdown. Gretchen and Slade and Heather and Terry arrive and the only wife we’re missing is Alexis. Plus 5 for that! Tamra has an impromptu consultation with Dr. Terry about having her tattooed wedding ring removed as a surprise for Eddie. Brooks cracks the lamest joke in the history of jokes when he introduces himself to Michael, Vicki’s son, as Brooks and Dunn. Minus 20 . Brooks tells Michael that the two of them have a lot in common and thanks him for supporting Vicki in the past year. He tries to chat to Michael about Briana’s new marriage. Awkward.? Michael says, “I really don’t want to be doing this right now.” Alexis and Jim show up, finally, late. And Alexis calls herself “Fashionably on time.” Minus 10 . Briana and Ryan are in a limo on the way to the event and conversation turns to Brooks and the fact that he’s not open about his job, has four kids in another state and is always in California, lets Vicki buy all his clothes, and drives Vicki’s car around town. Briana calls him an “opportunist.” In the real world, we call him a “gold digger.” Vicki gathers everyone together to give them the news. Briana has recently given Vicki news that has “changed her life forever.” Minus 30 f or the melodrama. And tears. Gretchen’s one-on-one is hilarious: “Holy Olive holy! Does she know who her mother is!?” Vicki has called in her brother Billy as a surprise for Briana. Michael reveals that he found out through Facebook that Briana eloped. Kind of like how Vicki found out through Facebook that Briana was in a relationship in the first place. I love Briana, but I’ve got to take away some points for being so uncommunicative. Minus 10 . As a thanks for coming out to celebrate their new business venture, Wines by Wives, Tamra and Vicki are giving all party attendees a year’s membership. Two bottles of wine a month! Plus 10 . Yay wine! Vicki asks Brooks how his talk with Michael went and Brooks says he loves Michael like he loves his own kids. Then he tells Tamra that Ryan is “thebomb.com.” And I gag. So does Tamra. He also never answers Vicki’s question about the conversation. Minus 15 for being so stupid creepy. Vicki grabs Briana and Ryan and tells Briana that she wants to introduce her to Brooks. Vicki has accepted Ryan and now it’s time for Briana to at least meet Brooks. Briana develops a case of the hiccups and keeps asking to hide. Vicki comes in with Brooks and Brooks goes straight for the hug with Briana. Brooks just keeps saying “I’m glad that you’re happy.” I’ll give him a Plus 5 for that. Briana says that her situation with Ryan is completely different form her mom’s situation with Brooks. Vicki calls her rude. EPISODE TOTAL: -95! SEASON TOTAL: -120! With an episode all about Vicki, this was bound to happen. Next week, Slade looks at rings, Alexis tries to entertain a group of preschoolers by talking about how she almost died giving birth to her twins, and Vicki and Briana have a discussion about their love lives.

LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian Play Nice at Soccer Game

Putting their family dispute behind them, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian were spotted enjoying a family soccer game with Eddie’s ex, Brandi Glanville, at Canoga Park in Los Angeles, California on Sunday (May 6). Although the white shorts and flowing nude top clad 29-year-old country singer seems to be in the middle of a feud with her hubby’s ex, she played nice for the day while sitting just feet away from Brandi on the sideline, but made sure to cuddle up to her husband several times during the contest. And while LeAnn and Brandi might have seemed cordial to one another face to face Sunday afternoon, the tension between the two has been spilling out on Twitter. Some time after the game a fan tweeted LeAnn, “BEHIND EVERY B*TCH IS A MAN THAT MADE HER THAT WAY!” making the country singer respond with, “HAHAHAHAHAHA kinda true but some are just b*tches”. The tension seems to stem from Cibrian banning his ex, Glanville, from letting their son make an appearance on her Bravo reality TV show, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “Brandi was upset because she could have got to spend time with her sons while she was working. She felt Eddie and LeAnn were being unreasonable,” a source tells Us Weekly. “The other cast members have been supportive of Brandi and just now the morale of the cast is good.” Earlier this week the reality star took to Twitter to vent, writing, “Someone is still being a dick, but it’s not Bravo.” Then adding, “Funny no one really knew or knows my work status and after on talk woith my ex husband its splattered all over the internet #leakmuch?”. . . “I just want my kids around me wen I’m wrkn otherwise I will never see them.#notok.” In addition to the digs Brandi made towards her ex, Cibrian – who cheated on her with LeAnn – she tweeted, “nothing I do is selfish. Going to therapy with my ex and his wife for my kids sake?? Hard but not selfish”. LeAnn has recently denied any sort of feud with Brandi and, when asked by a Twitter fan if the run in with Brandi at Jake’s soccer game was awkward, LeAnn replied, “Nope! It’s our life and I’d do anything for those boys! I have a great time.”Photo Credit: AKM-GSI

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Third Eye Blind

The Real Housewives of New Jersey celebrated the Summer Solstice by trying to open up their third eye chakra on last night’s episode. Yeah, we don’t know what that means either but we break it all down here in THG’s +/- recap! Teresa is excellent … at placing blame. On taking responsibility, not so much. First off she’s still upset about her husband’s black eye which of course is all Richie’s fault. Minus 12 . I’m sure poor Joe was just an innocent bystander in that scuffle. Who is she kidding? But in usual Teresa fashion she can’t let it go. She even tells Rich he could have poked his eye out.? Joe’s a big boy. I’m sure he can fight his own battles. Of course it’s hard to tell who has the brains in the Guidice family. We know Joe’s had at least one DWI, then was caught driving with a suspended license, and finally took someone else’s ID to try and get a new license. Minus 15 . Somehow the guy can always find a way to make a bad situation worse. Teresa cries about what’s being said in magazine articles about her and her family but even Jacqueline realizes that Teresa’s making her own problems there so Plus 8 . She agreed to do the interview and I’m sure she got paid handsomely for it. Now she’s crying? While everyone’s down the shore their problems simmer under the surface. The kids look like the only ones having fun but they’re also allowed to run wild. Kathy seems to only one to worry about the little ones playing around the water. And then we see the kids running in the street. Oye. Minus 10 because it looks like a disaster waiting to happen. As Gia is seen screaming with fists clenched as she tries to discipline little terror, Milania, I wonder where she learned that behavior from? But back to Teresa. The minute she hears that Caroline is going through menopause she decides that’s the reason she’s been such a bitch to her. Of course it has nothing to do with anything Teresa’s done. Minus 9 . Back home, Caroline tries to encourage Lauren in her weight loss goal and the girl is looking thinner despite snarky comments from her brothers. Plus 10 . But Lauren’s got some real self esteem issues. She seems to think making lots of money and being thin will help that. I don’t think Lauren needs money as much as she needs to get out on her own and stand on her own two feet, without her family coddling her. Then we’re off to the Summer Solstice party where everyone wears white and hopes to cleanse the bad energy. Ha!? I have to mention, if Melissa’s outfit got any shorter she might have gotten cited for indecent exposure. I think those were shorts, sort of. At least she’s got the legs for it so Plus 10 . Jacqueline keeps trying to play mediator between Teresa and Melissa and quite literally throws the two together. Plus 8 for having good intentions but it’s true. The road to Hell is paved with them. First Teresa walks away because Melissa brought up that her husband went to jail. Is this some big secret? No but apparently there’s special Jersey code that she failed to use. No one is supposed to mention jail or prison. The correct protocol is to say that he went away. Minus 12 . How sad is it that this is common enough in their lives to have a set of rules for discussing it. When Teresa storms off, Jacqueline follows but Teresa’s upset that Melissa didn’t chase after her. She is such a drama queen. When Melissa gets dragged out there again, she finally tells Teresa how ticked off she is that she’s running around basically saying that Melissa’s a cheater. Plus 8 for finally calling out the elephant in the room.? But Teresa’s not about to apologize. She’s heard it from people. I always love the mysterious people reference as if that excuses anything she’s said. Then Teresa blames her brother for telling Melissa in the first place. Minus 7 . As if he wasn’t going to tell his wife!? But then again I wonder how much Teresa’s husband hides from her. If Jacqueline thinks she can fix any of this she’s completely naive and she’s probably going to have to pick a side in this war soon.? Unfortunately we never even get to the psychic readings. And Kathy wonders how things got so bad. The party had its own fairies for goodness sake. So do you think Teresa’s so fixated on Melissa cheating on Joe because she worries about her brother or is she just distracting herself from the fears that her own husband is cheating on her.? What are the odds? Just another party in Jersey. EPISODE TOTAL: -21! SEASON TOTAL: -132!

Teresa Giudice and Lisa Lampanelli: Fired on Celebrity Apprentice

Only five “star” contestants remained on Celebrity Apprentice going into Sunday night, so every flip of the hair was critical to stay in the competition. So to speak. The contestants were tasked with a hair-raising project. Lisa Lampanelli proclaimed herself project manager for Team Forte, while The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Guidice led Team Unanimous. The teams were tasked with creating a four-page print ad for the CHI Touch Digital Touchscreen hair dryer, and pitching it to Farouk Systems and Elle . Lisa and Clay Aiken decided to capture the Elle girl by featuring women whose outward appearances don’t always reflect who they really are. Sweet. When the models arrived for Team Unanimous’ shoot, meanwhile, Aubrey O’Day decided she should replace a professional model. She worked it hard. It didn’t work. Lisa’s team won the task and $100,000 for charity, and Teresa Giudice got the chop for the losing team … oh, but there was more to come! The remaining contestants had to interview with former stars John Rich and Marlee Matlin, and Lisa’s torment of Dayana Mendoza caught up with her. Although she’s a funny lady, she did not win over the interviewers and her humor was too much for the competition. Yes, Lisa was finally sent home . Who are you more happy to see go this week? Lisa or Teresa?

Kyle Richards Totally Sucks Now, Friends Say

Apparently Lisa Vanderpump is not the only cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills who has let fame transform her from a spoiled rich woman to a REALLY spoiled rich woman. Kyle Richards, a pal tells Radar Online, is simply “not the same down to earth woman she used to be,” adding: “Her real friends have noticed. She recently told an actual close friend to ‘contact my assistant’ about making plans with her. Like she was too busy to make time for them now. They were so hurt.” And it’s more than just the attitude of Paris Hilton’s aunt, according to this anonymous, totally real insider; there are random examples of the new Kyle Richards , such as: “She sets DVRs on multiple TVs throughout the house and watches herself for HOURS analyzing her outfits, hair and makeup, and the camera angles she’s shot from. It’s incredible how she’s changed so much and become obsessed and superficial.” In other Real Housewives news that isn’t at all scripted for season three: Taylor Armstrong recently got blitzed at the birthday party for Kyle’s four-year old daughter. Friends are reportedly concerned. Bravo is reportedly giddy.
