What’s the worst crime in Real Housewives land? It's either stealing money or stealing the spotlight. As one who has teetered on those uneven stilettos for years, I can tell you that while swiping money might land you an indictment, on reality TV, stealing someone's thunder carries the death penalty. Let me break down the biggest offenders on this week's Real Housewives of Miami.

We see bridezilla number one, Joanna Krupa, struggling over her fiancé’s desire for a prenuptial agreement, which begs the question, are they so wrong? Should Romain stipulate that Joanna’s sister Marta can’t come near the wedding?

Bridezilla number two, Adriana de Moura, sticks to her story that she’s not really married -- damn the legalities!! Does that mean we can all deny we’re married if we have fights with our husbands? In any case, throwing a wedding makes for great reality television.

Finally, this week we blow the roof off cast member storylines. Every season, the ladies of each city compete for the biggest, best, most dramatic personal lives. But I'm here to tell you that what we see on the screen doesn’t dovetail with actual reality. Watch my exclusive video here for all the details and answers to your Twitter questions!

Who do you think brings the most drama on RHOM?

'Real Housewife' Melissa Gorga Doesn’t Appreciate Her Perfect Body

Melissa Gorga isn't happy. But it's not mortal enemy Teresa Giudice that is causing her anguish this time. It's her rump -- or rather lack thereof. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star wants a bigger booty and is doing everything she can to pump up her posterior. Here's this woman with her gorgeous, slim figure. A physique most of us would die for and she wants to change it. It forces me to ask, are women ever happy with what they have?

“I want a bigger booty. I want a bigger booty!” she whined to Us Weekly. “There's a lot of women who try to minimize their backsides but I actually grab more weight when it comes to that.”

I guess that old adage is true -- the grass is always greener on the other side. Because striving for a bigger butt is the last thing I would ever do. In fact, I avoid clothes that make my backside look any bigger than it is. Don't get me wrong, I want a nice shape, but when you've always been curvy, the last thing you want to do is make something bigger.

Though, among African Americans, a bootlicious backside has long been a standard of sex appeal. But now that standard is mainstream. Probably because of stars like Kim Kardashian. She always made a point of accentuating her butt. In fact, she has clothes tailored to make her behind look bigger. No joke. To help reach her goal, Melissa says she is doing lunges and lifting heavier weights while squatting. If only we could swap bods. Well, good luck Melissa. I hope your bootiful dream comes true.

Do you want a bigger butt? How are you going about getting it?

Kenya Moore’s Big Pay Raise Proves She’s the Smartest ‘Real Housewife’

Good news Real Housewives of Atlanta fans! Kenya Moore will be back for the show's 6th season. Her first year as a "housewife" was such a hit, Bravo is planning to pay her $600,000. Needless to say, the former Miss USA is thrilled -- even if castmates-turned-quick-enemies Phaedra Parks and Porsha Stewart probably aren't. But if they are smart, they will learn a valuable lesson from Kendra's big payday. 

Kenya is a newbie to the franchise yet she is now making as much as New Jersey veteran Teresa Giudice. Nene Leakes and Kandi Buress are headed into their 6th season and they make $800,000 -- just 200K more. Phaedra and Porsha only make $50,000, according to a source. The only explanation is that Kenya is the supreme drama queen. That is a dubious honor Kenya is taking all the way to the bank!

She has figured out that being crazy is clearly the key to cashing in on this show. Just take a look at her track record. She had those wild eyes from the start. Sure, she was sweet enough the first couple of episodes, but then the littlest things would unhinge her. Remember that get-to-know-you lunch with Porsha, who made the mistake of asking about Kenya's love life. That made her enemy #1. Then there was the booty workout video feud with Phaedra. It lead to Kenya showing up at a charity event half-naked to prove a point no one actually understood. It was lunacy.

And what about her boyfriend Walter? The fact that he wouldn't propose almost sent her over the edge but turns out the relationship was faked for the cameras. Though, her most memorable moment had to be when, in the middle of an argument, she called herself "Gone with the wind fabulous" while twirling in circles. It was wacky, weird, and solidified her status as one nutty foe.

Do you think Kenya deserves a $600,000 salary?

Real Housewife Kim Zolciak's Husband Kroy Must Have Been Nuts to Adopt Her Daughters

woensdag 24 juli 2013

It would be easy to understand if  Kroy Biermann was a little hesitant to throw himself into parenting Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak's daughters. By all accounts, parenting teenagers is hard. Harder than just about anything else in this world -- at least if you ask a parent of a teenager.  But the Atlanta Falcons' defensive end has come clean about his decision to adopt Zolciak's two oldest children in one of the sweetest interviews I've seen in a long, long time.

It turns out even Kim is impressed with how well he's doing as a dad!

The RHOA star admitted she doesn't know if she'd be as able as Kroy is to love kids who weren't biologically related to her, but she sees a true love between dad and daughters. Asked why he decided to adopt Brielle, 16, and Ariana, 12, Kroy told E! Online that it's about setting priorities in life. He's prioritized family, and to him, family includes the girls.

Pretty sweet for a big ol' macho football player, huh? And pretty gutsy for someone who walked into parenting TEENAGERS! He had to have one helluva sense of self esteem to think he could handle that.

But listen to this one. Kroy admitted what is important to him has changed completely since he met Kim (and the girls):

Before Kim and before the girls and before the boys, I lived a pretty regimented life. I'd wake up, eat breakfast, go to work, come home…it was pretty normal. Now, my house isn't going to be as clean as it was before, but it's not important. Those things are not important and it's all about prioritizing and understanding.

Aww!

It's a good message for anyone who adopts a spouse's kids, but it's not a bad thing to keep in mind as your kids hit those teenage years we're all warned about.

When your kids are changing, YOU have to be willing to change to. You have to be willing to let some things slide and decide what is most important to you -- having the pre-teenage years life or having a good relationship with your kids as they are?

Parenting teens is scary! It's hard! It's completely different from having kids who think someone of the other sex is gross, kids who wouldn't be caught dead getting into the shower ... forget spending two hours in there.

Life won't be clean anymore! You may not have signed up for door slamming and eye-rolling when you brought that cute little baby home from the hospital, but that's the mess that comes with all the good parts of parenting a teenager.

Brielle and Ariana are pretty darn lucky to have this guy in their lives. For that matter, Kim is lucky to have found a guy who gets that kids are more important than anything.

Would you be able to do what Kroy has done and adopt a spouse's kids?
