• "Real Housewives": The One Time Jersey Rules

  Last night's episode of the Real Housewives of New York was out-shined by the half-hour preview of the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

  It finally happened! No more teasing promos, no more wondering (and we're sure you were losing sleep over it)... The showdown between veteran NYC (unmarried) "housewife" Bethenny Frankel and newbie (single mom) “housewife” Kelly Bensimon was ON last night. And there was a clear winner… Read More...

• Alex McCord From "Real Housewives of New York City" Needs A Bailout

  Alex McCord, The Real Housewives of New York City's most surreal character, has been laid off from her job as a graphic designer for Victoria's Secret.

• "The Real Housewives of NYC": The Real Claws Come Out

  After a few boring episodes, The Real Housewives of New York City finally turn up the drama a notch. We thought for sure that the Fashion Week episode would be more back-patting glimpses of their fabulous lives, but they actually brought it this week. And, no, it's not like that contrived Cindy Adams debacle.  Read More...

• New York's "Real Housewives" Like To Get Rough

  Life in New York is stressful, y'all.  Here's what happened:  Real girlfriend of New York, Kelly Bensimon, got in a fight with her boyfriend, Nicholas Stefanov, that ended with her punching him in the face.  She must've put her weight behind it because she broke the skin under his eye.  Anyway, Stefanov went to the police, and Bensimon was arrested for misdemeanor assault.   Obviously, we couldn't care less about the Real Housewives of New York, but we are intrigued by the questions this incident raises about domestic violence.  Is it weird that strangest part of this story for us is that Nicholas Stefanov went to the police?  Not that we think he shouldn't have necessarily, we just find it surprising since there's such an obvious double standard for men and women in abusive relationships.  If Stefanov had punched Bensimon, for example, we feel like there would be more of an uproar....

• "Real Housewives Of NYC" Are Real Boring And Real Awkward

  The Real Housewives of New York City fell flat this week and was more "fabulous life" than "fabulous drama." Who the hell cares about their lives? We want to see them fight. We had to endure uneventful surf lessons, yoga, and lunches. There were some amusing awkward moments, though, and here they are... Read More...

• "Real Housewives Of New York" Are Back: Bring Out The Guillotine

  Tonight at 11 on Bravo. In this economy, with this job market, the whole Real Housewives franchise is starting to feel less voyeuristic and aspirational and more like some Marie Antoinette "let them eat cake"shit.

• "The Real Housewives of ATL": We Are The Joneses

  Okay, we would only say this to you -- we may have loved The Real Housewives of Atlanta.  We know.  We KNOW.  We didn't really have any time for The Real Housewives of Orange County (we're from Los Angeles and generally annoyed by OC), and we think there was a Real Housewives in New York but, why?  And then the Real Housewives came to the dirty south, and we kind of love them for it...
