Having been on any Reality TV, let alone the Real Housewives specifically, I'm always looking at these shows with double vision. I'm seeing the action just as all the viewers do, and also looking behind the scenes at how everything is put together, which always fascinates me.

This week we go deep into wedding planning with Joanna Krupa and Adriana de Moura, lots of gorgeous Birkin bags, kittens, and puppies. And did you HEAR the gossip? Someone revealed a Housewives contract! Are they for real?

I had to laugh when Lisa Hochstein cried over a Birkin bag. I don't know anyone, ever in my life, who has done that. And I know a lot of characters.

As the bridal party casting heats up, I go into reality TV weddings versus real weddings…should you have to choose cast members as bridesmaids and if you do, are you allowed to give them ultimatums? Perhaps Joanna is secretly the Gawker Bridezilla? 

Alexia Echevarria and her son are breaking my heart – what do you do when your son’s father is an ex-convict?? In this week’s video we learn what to do, and what NOT to do when you and your child have problems surrounding your divorce.

Finally….did you see that story where the reporter supposedly got hold of a New Jersey Housewives contract?  I saw it, I read it, and I give you MY take on it.

Who is the most annoying bride -- Adriana or Joanna?

Also, tell me in the comments or on twitter what you want know about I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding as tomorrow I’ll have a brand new episode covering the first two shows!

Miley Cyrus' Ridiculous Outfit Leaves Literally Nothing to the Imagination (PHOTO)

Oh god. It's getting worse. Much worse. I thought Miley Cyrus would, for lack of a better phrase, tone it down a bit after she and Liam Hemsworth broke things off, but no. Not even a little. Whatever the opposite of toning down is? That's what Miley's doing. Need proof? Just shift your gaze to this photo of Miley wearing little more than tape over her boobs and a pair of undies.

I know.

Typically, when a girl and a guy break up, one of the first telltale signs of how things are going for the female is how she starts dressing. If Miley were suddenly spotted in jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers, we'd probably think: "Hey, Miley seems to be more introspective lately. Maybe she's thinking about how she's been acting and starting to regret some of her recent antics?" Or if she started walking around looking completely unkempt -- hair a mess, pajama pants on -- we may think: "Yikes. Miley really doesn't seem to be doing well right now. I hope she's okay." But the fact that Miley is dressing more revealing than she has in the past (who thought that was possible?), it makes us think: "Wow, Miley doesn't seem to be doing all that well ... and she has absolutely no idea whatsoever. Also, she isn't going to stop any time soon!"

This ... is not an outfit. It's a fishing net and some office supplies. I'm not sure who told Miley after she got dressed: "Yeah! That's a great idea to wear that in public!" But whoever it is, they're not her real friend; they're her mortal enemy. Because this is ridiculous. Miley has a hot body, and if she wants to show it off, she has every right to. But I really have no clue what the hell is going on here. It actually could be her worst fashion choice yet. And after the non-clothes she wore to the VMAs, that's saying a lot.

Miley, I hope you're okay, girl. Kind of doesn't look like it.

What do you think of Miley's outfit?

20 Ridiculous Lies Mom Tell Their Kids

I'm just gonna come right out and say it. Moms lie! We do -- and frankly a fib can be the difference between a good night's sleep and being sent to padded room. You see, mothers are a brilliantly dishonest bunch. And deception is one of the strongest tools in our arsenal (PS: it only works until your children figure out how to look things up on Google).

Damn you interwebs from ruining the only sanity saver I have left!

Of course we fabricate things in different ways. There are the universal lies, which I laid out in my lists of "Momisms", and there are the bold faced lies that are incredibly creative and will most definitely get us in trouble down the road. Though we're willing to take that risk for a little reprieve in the moment!

Here are some bold faced lies I've told my kids to save sanity, furniture, face, time, and money. Plus, the top lies from my Facebook Fans, who are clearly unscrupulous (and I love that about them).

1. They don't give you ketchup at drive-thrus.

2. The lunch lady calls me when you don't eat your sandwich.

3. The cat is allergic to Moon Sand, so we can't have any in the house -- for her safety.

4. If you don't bathe, you will get arrested. They have dogs that can smell dirty children.

5. Every time you cough and don't cover your mouth, somewhere, a butterfly dies.

6. Harry Styles hates girls who don't listen to their parents. Now go brush your teeth and don't forget to floss.

7. The restaurant I'm going to with daddy doesn't allow kids or we would totally take you ... I think the waiters say inappropriate things.

8. Animals want to be eaten, it makes them so happy to be chosen as your food. Now, eat your chicken.

9. Unicorns ARE real, but you only see one when you're being really good. What, you haven't seen any? Well, you have to be even better.

10. And of course the most universal (and ironic) Mom Lie: I'm your mother, I wouldn't lie to you.

(Now for my corrupt, immoral FB fans ...)

11. They don't sell replacement batteries for that toy. - Teresa

12. The ice cream man only plays that song when they're out of ice cream. - Eva

13. Chuck E. Cheese's is only for birthday parties; you have to be invited to one to go there. - Colleen

14. All grocery stores have a baby jail in the basement; they'll lock you up if you don't behave. - Desiree

15. The smoke detectors have cameras in them. How else could I have known you haven't been reading your chapter book? - Kimberlie

16. No, this isn't a brownie. It's a breakfast bar and it has lots of protein and fiber and even spinach in it. Do you want one? - Foxy

17. There are no cartoons on at night because that's when the characters sleep. - Laura

18. I always tell my 4-year-old son that signs in stores say things they really don't. Like no running, no touching, no talking. I'm so screwed when he learns to read! - Susan

19. The stuffed animals will be lonely for their friends if we take them out of the store. - Kim

20. Babies come from the Internet. And that baby sister you wanted is on back-order. - Jennifer

What lies have you told?

7 Ridiculous Reasons Women Give for Wanting a Daughter

maandag 5 augustus 2013

Giuliana Rancic is one of those celebrity moms I usually respect, big time. Her willingness to be open about infertility -- a topic that's still very taboo in our society -- was incredibly inspiring. But the way the reality star and mother of little Duke is talking about having a daughter is rubbing me the wrong way.

Rancic says she wants a little girl to dress up like a doll. Literally!

Said Rancic of giving surrogacy another go and adding a sister to her family for little Duke:

I’ll buy her an American Girl doll and they can wear the same outfit, then I can get an adult version of the outfit so the three of us match. I’d Instagram that all day long!

Oh, come on, Giuliana! You're talking about a person, here, not a doll!

Rancic is hardly the first mom to say it, but I wouldn't be doing my daughter (or femalekind) a favor if I didn't say I hope she'll be the last. It's a generalizing of the female experience that rubs me the wrong way, the assumption that all little girls are exactly alike. And when your daughter comes out, with ideas of her own, it can make for a rather rude awakening for a mom.

Worse, if a mom is completely stuck on these ideas of what it means to have a daughter -- whether they work for her girl or not -- she could easily end up making her little girl's childhood a living hell. 

If you have any of these reasons for having a daughter in mind, it's time you drop them for your sake ... and hers:

1. To be your best friend. I love the idea of one day having the friendship with my daughter that some of my girl friends share with their mothers, but at the end of the day, that's not what she's there for. She needs me to be her MOM, and when I need friends, I owe it to her to look to my peers, not lay my troubles at her feet.

2. For dressing up. You have heard of so-called "tomboys," right? Just because she is a she does not mean your child will enjoy being clad in dresses and sparkly things (and who knows, a SON might enjoy those things!). Not to mention even girls who enjoy fashion need to know there is much more to life than looking good in their clothes.

3. To give you grandchildren. There's something extremely creepy about filling your non-existent daughter's non-existent uterus.

4. To be your mini me. One of the coolest parts of having a kid with someone is that they carry parts of you and parts of your partner. That means your kid will NEVER be an exact replica of you, and you should be celebrating that ... not fighting it.

5. To help you gang up on the boys. It can be tough being the only one with estrogen in a house full of testosterone, but siblings should NOT be set at odds with one another for any reason, least of all because of gender.

6. To play Barbies, princesses, etc. See above regarding so-called "tomboys." There is no reason to believe a girl is any more (or less) inclined to like these toys than a little boy. And if she does, there's certainly no reason to limit her to just these items.

7. To shop with you. My 8-year-old daughter is a bit of a "girly girl," but you know what she hates? That's right ... shopping, unless we're in a toy store. Vagina does not equal shopaholic.

What daughter stereotypes bug you? Have you ever made a blunder like Giuliana Rancic?
