The best part is her (Kelly) losing it over getting a gift bag! Seriously crazy or drugged or something.
YES! Yes, yes, yes. Crying over a gift bag. Oh how bad I wished Bethanny had put a vat of nozema in there for Satchels of Gold Kelly to rub all over her skin. She makes me want to swim in lotion. Just like fill my tub full of body lotion. Slater it all over. Rub it in. Lil Miss Lab - don't ever look like Koo Koo Kelly.

Checking in. Watched the old epidodes.
Jill Shut The Fuck Up, you are exhausting (watching her making the Countless video in Atlanta City). Bawby. Going to his grave with the life and $ sucked out of him. Jill makes me want to take a nap.
Cindy - whatever your name is - Gone Girl - stay Gone.
I must have been drunk while watching these episodes. Simon is just as gross as Lizard Licky Pervert Aviva's Dad.

Heehee, I'm surprised no one reg'd here or at TWoP as Susan Saunders. Jill's pucker hole would be in a permanent state of twitch every time she checked the site(s).
I know. I can never ever forget Amazongate. That shit was too fucking funny. I remember when it was all going down and Jill was getting deeper and deeper in her own shit. Even I was embarassed - just a little bit - for her. She got caught with her Skweez's down. Just because I loved this drama so much ... here's a recap of Jill Zarin/Susan Saunders for anyone who missed out on all the fun...just google Jill Zarin Susan Saunders for a giggle or, if you are bored I copied and pasted for ya ;) Just priceless Jill. Basically, Jill logged in under a fake name, Susan Saunders and went after a reviewer on Amazon. She got caught = down the toilet, Skweez's and all.

Perhaps this is what put Jill Zarin on the map for most hated Housewife — Ms Chandler at the time was Amazon’s #1 Reviewer, (Jill) after being turned down by the Daily Beast to leave a positive review for, Secrets Of A Jewish Mother because “everyone does it says Zarin” – everyone may do it Jill, however, it’s not smart to ask a reporter who is not your friend!
Jill Zarin did not give up — Jill mailed her book to Amazon to be reviewed by Ms. Chandler. Rather to reiterate it all, Ms. Chandler can tell you what happened. Sadly, the review is no longer up because it took focus off of what Amazon review pages focus on: Reviews – thousands of viewers voiced their disgust with Jill Zarin.
Quick Brief before the actual review..
This is the comment that sparked outrage from an account “Susan Saunders”
Susan Saunders
After looking into the “Susan Saunders” account, it appeared to be Jill Zarin.. Susan Saunders has a wish list page of items for “Bobby” and “Allyson” – Jill just happens to have a husband named Bobby and a daughter named, “Allyson” also known as “Alley”
snip
ChicagoTVChick also mentions;
• She [Jill] had a friend on the site named David Zarin (the name of Bobby Zarin’s
brother).
• Saunders had given a 5-star review of an episode of The Real Housewives of
New York.
“The outcry was that Jill Zarin was Susan Saunders. Jill denied this at first saying it must have been a “crazy fan.” Reporter Ted Kruckel of Bizbash.com asked Jill in August 2010 if there was any truth that she had asked Daily Beast interviewer, Doree Shafrir, to post a positive review on Amazon, and was later caught posting positive reviews of herself. He writes: “She had a bunch of different answers. My faves: ‘Everybody does it,’ ‘I haven’t yet commented on that’ and finally ‘The reviews came from my account. “That’s all I’m saying.’”
Jill called Alana Chandler ANTISEMITIC for daring to not give a glowing review; take a look at the review for yourself – as I stated above, the original review is no longer up;
The review that the Amazon #1 Reviewer (Poor lady) gave Jill. (Updates are included)

1.0 out of 5 starsWhat I expected to be warm and fuzzy was cold and calculating, April 15, 2010
By
Chandler
This review is from: Secrets of a Jewish Mother: Real Advice, Real Stories, Real Love (Hardcover)
6-11-10 Jills Blog update: She said “J.Samples is not me on Amazon.” No, we never said J.Samples was, though some speculated. “SUSAN SAUNDERS”, most now know, was the pseudonym you’ll read about below that was found, via website investigators, to come from Jill Zarin’s Amazon account & was used to threaten negative reviewers and post positive reviews. No denial there.
Former update: The website Zap2it just published a great article about Jill Zarin, the author threatening honest reviewers (including me, both here and in a private email threatening me and my cat as insane as that sounds), as well as the websites who busted her writing her own 5 star reviews. If you go to that website just search for “Jill Zarin Amazon-gate” and it should come up. I can’t post links here.
Original update: much has happened after I wrote this review. As you will see in my comments section under my review, someone going by the name of Susan Saunders threatened to have my pet taken because of the bad review and also in a threatening email. Since then, it was uncovered by others that this reviewer was actually Jill Shapiro Zarin herself and she then, coincidentally, removed the 5 star review(s) she wrote for the book (all 15 of them, uncovered as family and friends). Someone took screen shots prior to deletion of her threat and five star review and it can be found on the website called RealityTea as well as many others. How the websites found out? She changed her profile name but forgot to change her personal information in her wish list from 1999 and beyond mentioning that she is the very Jill Shapiro (name when account was created in her maiden name before 99) with birthday November 30th (she just changed her birthday today on her Facebook) in NY NY mom of Ally Shapiro, wife to Bobby Zarin with many gifts for them added through the years and added family member David Zarin. (There’s more damaging info in my next update, below.) So I now know I was threatened by the author. After this, someone else (and later, me) researched any full name of the five star reviewers and you can see in their comments sections most were determined to be relatives and close personal friends via family pictures on the internet etc, (update: many were deleted after I wrote that sentence.) In all of my years of reviewing, I have never seen this happen or been threatened, much less by an author.
Fortunately, although we are now up to 15 five star reviews erased to try to cover this, there is still proof of this on several websites such as gawker and reality tea. Look in my “comments” section under this review and you will find the comments by Susan Saunders. This was the account she used, created on or before 1999 when the first wish list items were added by Jill under her maiden name. The two items she reviewed (one 3 years ago) coincidentally, is the Real Housewives dvd set which she reviewed back in 2008 (this profile is not something new just created by a “crazy fan”, unless they knew in 1999 when she added the first gift for Bobby Zarin on her wish list, that she was writing a book in 2010) In her review of the Real Housewives DVD she said Jill Zarin was the only reason she watched the show and they’d better keep her on it, and you can also see where she reviewed this book the day of its release then erased the review after all this came out and she was busted. Interestingly, the only 2 things she ever reviewed. Trying to erase the evidence, did not erase this, fortunately.
Now then, back to the original review:
I assure you I went into this with an unbiased review. I did my research and read cover to cover.
First, the relationships chapter basically relates that one should settle…IF he has money. Seriously??? That is a strong premise of the book in many areas…you should marry someone not who you love equally but who “loves you more than you love him”, you “should be in charge of the purse strings or you will never be happy”, etc.
Ironically, on friendship in the book the author suggests that if something happens to hurt your friendship, you should ask for forgiveness 3 times. If that doesn’t work, you need to move on because the sin is on the person who wouldn’t accept your apology and you’ve done all you can. I agree with that. Yet it’s not hard to read about the main author (according to font billing size, Jill Zarin) being down right dirty to a friend who tried to apologize/discuss a predicament and was refuted coldly and rudely by Jill 3 times on camera. Interesting. The sin is on Jill. However, now that the book is out and there are book sales to be made, Jill said she now wants forgiveness for not forgiving (yes, confusing, I know). She is saying she can’t believe this friend will not accept her happily now that it’s convenient for Jill to befriend her again and Ms. Zarin mentions her “hurt” over that…Your book advice says someone in her shoes should move on, Jill. (she asked 3 times and now the sin is on you because you refused her outright tearful begging.) You said “We’re done” 3 times. Plus you called her a “moron” in an interview last week for asking why she was on speaker phone. That doesn’t show that you really want forgiveness, especially because you also said today in an interview that next year will be better without Bethenny on the show because she sucks the oxygen out of the air when she is in a room. Probably two reasons why she doesn’t think you are sincere. Just sayin. How can I follow this advice you write if you yourself think it’s bogus and won’t follow it or openly treat people not in a way a loving “mom figure” exudes to others?
Also, she said in an interview that her daughter is only allowed to fall in love with/or date a certain category of person. I had a hard time with that one too. I don’t think that’s a loving Jewish mother who should, instead, just want her daughter to be happy and find someone who adores her, works hard, doesn’t cheat, doesn’t have addictions, and is a great dad and her daughter adores too? What happened to wanting that for your kid instead? But she isn’t even allowed to DATE someone like that if he doesn’t fit YOUR main goal on what you say will make her life “easier”? For shame.
The book on bulldozing what your child wants in a mate in order to get what you want in a son-in-law, for example, from Lisa: “Of course, my kids would never let me fix them up — they’re still too young to be desperate enough to have their mother set them up on a blind date. But not to worry … I’m out there looking anyway. Who said I needed their permission?”
I hate giving undeserved one star reviews so I had to see for myself if all I read about their “do as I say, not as I do” approach was true as everyone seems to note….because if they actually put together some advice that’s untried or they themselves don’t even believe in, it knocked the book down a notch. So I did research this.
Now back to advice: Her dieting overview just isn’t healthy, nor does it really address the underlying issues of weight gain since she suggests pouring your drink on the food you don’t want to overeat. Not only would most in this economy not see the beauty of that (you COULD also ask the waiter to just box up half in a to go box before it’s served), but I can imagine this one when eating out. Don’t want to be tempted by the rest of your fries on that big order? Pour your glass of wine on it…money is no matter on what that costs…and let the waiter wipe it up, y’all! Wipe away before it gets on your dress! Zarin lovingly dubs the “empty your glass onto your plate or bowl in a restaurant diet” in the book as “Killing your food to stay thin”. I am guessing there won’t be a popular diet book to follow this one or waiters across the US will retaliate, as will all the 5 star restaurants who have to clean all those white tablecloths after Zarin’s food-killing-eating-out suggestion. Bad manners, unkind to waitstaff, disgusting for fellow tablemates to observe, unhealthy eating advice.
How to attract and nab a man? Zarin says it’s not gonna happen unless you wear bright colors. I kid you not. Give the readers some credit here that they are a notch above peacocks or fish because:
1. Ms. Zarin, I respectfully beg to differ. Inner beauty should be worked on first since a mean, negative, dirty and spiteful person dressed in hot pink isn’t gonna fool anyone. If all you had to do to woo someone was to distract them with bright colors then women should wear glitter and all men would be hypnotized. Silly.
2. Angelina Jolie wears mostly black. Enough said.
They are so adament about color that the book says you should NEVER wear black, ever, to anything. Yet everytime they come on tv to talk about the book, one of the authors is in solid black. I don’t get it. Do THEY buy into anything here?
Some of this stuff simply makes no sense to an educated reader.
The book is actually very negative though as well. The authors fight amongst each other and use personal stories to illustrate points…all which seem to be laced with martyrdom. Because of this, I don’t feel it an appropriate motherly pleasure to read or gift..
I wanted to find this warm and loving but it seemed more like a doctrine in many cases that isn’t loving and could be detrimental on several levels. Not to mention it’s been widely reported that it’s for show rather than actual advice the authors themselves believe. Too, the one who worked on getting it published billed her name in larger font size on the book than her mom’s name which was kind of supposed to be advice mainly from her mom, Gloria. Although the book denotes advice from all 3 authors, Zarin notes that it is garnered from all her mom taught her and her sister and then all the writing was compiled and put together by Zarin’s sister, the third author. I would have expected her mom’s name to be billed largest, or her sister’s because of this, yet the name “Jill Zarin” is about 3-4 times the size of mom or sister on the book cover…Ah well…I guess this book isn’t meant to be seen as an equal effort by the 3 writers.
Or someone just feels a bit more “special”.
I’d say be leery and don’t make your daughter marry a rich guy she isn’t attracted to in spite of this advice. If you marry for money, you earn every penny of it because it won’t be easy in any other way other than financially. And learning to eat healthy could be a better skill than wasting wine and the half of steak left on your plate. Nor is it very classy to do that practice in public or at dinner parties. And don’t put out a book and publicly do everything important in an opposite fashion than you preach.
Now there’s some advice backatcha. :-)
Also, don’t look for insights into Zarin’s show in any way herein or the public drama we’ve seen or heard about. It’s not here. The book concentrates on the 3 author’s experiences not what you see occuring now.
The book price was cut more than 50% after one day (and this is a hardback cover too) after the advance reviews in the papers were out and the book was actually found prior to it’s release in the discount bookstores and now the publisher has dumped what they are already forseeing as an “overstock” of what they printed on the Overstock website. I looked and it is indeed on the Overstock website which is normal to go there after the book has been out for months–but when it happens 3 days after it’s release, while the authors are still doing publicity book tours, the price is sure to go down more—I’d advise waiting if price matters in this economy since the publisher is already expecting to have a large overstock from it’s first printing by the looks of dumping it there after 3 days. I think readers have a bit more clarity than was initially expected into this being filler material rather than eye-opening and believable, I’m sorry to say and that’s the REAL secret.
Ok, to be fair I’ll add some positives: It goes into good detail teaching the Jewish religion to those who may not know, and does give you a glimpse into the lives of the authors, and is a bargain price for a new hardcover.
And a final update? At the website thedailybeast Jill asked the REPORTER to post a glowing review under a pseudonym. This was before “Amazongate” ever happened. She reported on it.
I already have my proof that Zarin is Susan Saunders. Now she says she isn’t some random other reviewer? Red Hering. The name on her account was SUSAN SAUNDERS. And so she says she isn’t J. Samples? What did I tell you months ago? That she would probably create another account after the Susan Saunders Amazongate was uncovered, bring attention to it by behind crazy, (which happened under the J Samples name all over the net) then say “I am not this second account, J. Samples”— but never address nor deny the original account, Susan Saunders?”

I am enjoying the marathon of RHNY right now. I won't get a thing done.
"I'm feeling the heat, feeling the heat." "Well, then, take your toys and go play!" "You are here and I am here."
Thank you for reminding me how happy I am to not see Jill Zarin/Susan Saunders ever again.
Out of curiousity and wanting a good giggle I went to Jill's FB page. She's now a Director/Actress:
"Jill Zarin is one of the most successful and requested reality television stars in the entertainment business. She is also the founder of Skweez Couture."
And you can visit her at Whole Foods.

As life goes on, I was thinking today, enjoying this beautiful Cali weather, it must suck to be in prison. She's only 3 months in. Her sentence didn't sound that long at first, but I'm happy she's doing her time for her crime. I keep seeing pictures of Melissa and her kids. I wonder if Tre's is enjoying her 'redone' cell.

There was one chilly Saturday that I was under a blanket watching "Be Nice" & I took a nap during the episode (funny since one of the moms at the park said to Raymond "Your wife naps??"). It just felt so good since I rarely get a chance to nap & ever since then I've been referring to ELR as "comfort food" also :)
This made me smile. I never watched this show when it was on the air. I was sick one time and woke up, too lazy to look for clicker and laughed away the flu while watching the episode about the suitcase. I was hooked. Unfortuantely, one day, I found ELR on Netflix. Did not get one thing done for two days.

Real quick...who was the cheating about? Tom and Bubbie or FI Tom and his co-star, I mean Arianna?

@yourmomiseasy thanks for posting that video! It's super interesting to hear that it was different music irl and other details like that.
Yes, thanks from me too. Finally hosts that let the guess just talk talk talk.
Everyone, Sheana's entrance dance was to One Directions "That's What Makes You Beautifu." Hee.
Hearing that tid bit and listening to Flat Iron Tom and his 'vacay lady' battle each other for air time was just too dang entertaining.

All this woulda, coulda, shoulda in this thread...ugh. It's disheartening. Until you've actually been in a situation, you will never know how you'd react.
And to the poster who sent her apologies for what I'd been through (I'm sorry I'm on my phone), I'm sorry you had to go through what you did as well. I am glad that God handled him for you in the end. Much love, girl!
I apologize, I meant no disrespect Just being snarky. You are correct. I have never been in a situation like that. Way to stay strong!!!!!!!! My respect to you.

My favorite part is when Apollo came out with the drill and that garage man booked it out of there so fast. "No amount of money will let me take a drill to the heart - see ya ladies."
And Paedra's friend, assistant, whoever she was...girl, I wouldn't take one for the team. I would have run into the house and locked the bathroom door and call 911 for my safety. Especially, when his car backed up....

The only thing I took away from this episode tonight is to keep on exercising so I don't have to wear a plus size dress to my son's wedding. And no crop tops and/or bondage dress. And jeezus no to whatever Cig Sally was wearing.
Does Pumpmystomach have stock in Uber? Nice plug.
Speaking of plugs, can't Ken go anywhere without the sexy Jiggy? I heard coyotes. Oh wait, that was the trainer.
Let Jax eat anything off the floor or in the fountain. It's just like break time with the server gals at Sur.
I don't care if you are my dear loving sister. I'm not waking up to clean anything. I'll be *sick* until check out time and still slip a $20 for another hour - "do the other rooms first ;)"

I'm actually enjoying the silence. Tre's in jail. Doing her time. Heh. Life goes on, LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! The beach was beautiful today!
However, still waiting for the zoom shots of Juicy with another woman. Heh.
Sobering, isn't itTre. Repeat after me, "Crime = Time" You can't get too deep or try to tell her more than 4 words at a time.
I do like the links you all post here! Thank you!

Not to rehash everything, but I enjoyed the throw back Thursday eposide Bravo showed today of Tre declaring she didn't want to live in anyone's skeevy house, it's gross. LMAO at her laying on her cot holding the one ply toilet paper.
"I'm SO not a stage mom." She's still going at it.
From experience, the IRS can demand you file monthly statements. They will go over them - every cent spent and received. They can demand you not co-sign for student loans. They can and will ding any account with your name on it and take every cent.

I think she was applying it to her (allegedly) cracked rib sustained from the excessive coughing she was (not) having.
And nice try with that list of meds you rattled off, Kim, but, just like that list you rattled off to Paul a couple of seasons ago, the odds that any of those, nor the combination thereof, would explain your high-as-a-kite behavior are slim to none.
The audience...We're not a Disney audience full of children, Kim. We see what you're trying to do there.
Procedures...such as a camera down her throat to see the damage caused her alcoholism - also up the other way too. Ulcer caused by her cirrosis. Bleeding stomach, throwing up blood. This isn't Oz Kim. Hopefully, they are watching her blood work - and closely. A bing went over my head when Kyle told Mo that she wanted to see what the doctors had to say and visiting hour are over soon. Doctors make their rounds very early in the morning. Instead of fighting with Kim, maybe Kyle can GO to the doctor with her and see for herself what's going on. I have a feeling Kim will get the days wrong on that one too.
Kim's ex should sneak a valium to Kyle for all parties in the future. These Hilton gals can't hold their liquor. Not happy drunks are they? Off to read Eileen's blog. I need a giggle, tonight was just awful.

There are a lot of "opportunities" in Italy that he could take advantage of.
Why? He had his entire life to become an American citizen and chose not to. He should be kicked out the second his foot touches land when he's released from his four years in Club Fed -- which, by the way, YOU AND I ARE PAYING FOR.
And the food is freaking better there! Wine for breakfast. I'll help him pack it up buttercup! He'd probably be a 'celeb' there. Don't forget his sausage slicer! ;)

Just stopping by to say I was so happy to see their wins! I watched all seasons in 2 days. If I was a dude, I would have grown a beard. :) Love this show.
-
Rosebud, well, if Tori Spelling can spend weeks there, it is Hollywood after all ;) Good for you for your volunteer work!!!!!!!
I see Kim saying her hospital stay was due to something like an ulcer, caused by great stress. Like the previous poster said, you can't fool a nurse. It's live and see your grandchild or die too young Kim. I'm hoping she gets the help the she needs and a doctor who tells her that.
I have a stupid question. Is Eileen still on a soap? Which one? I'm curious now. I love her. I haven't watched a soap since Luke and Laura got married.

When you break down what happened in the last 4 episodes and then look at Kim's excuse/injuries, nothing makes sense, nothing! Well, except that she fell off that wagon and landed on her head! Not that I believe she was ever full in/on the wagon to begin with, IMO, she has kept 1 leg in while the other is still out! LOL
I really hope Kim is honest with her doctors about how much she drinks/takes/uses, etc. Doubt it, but everything comes out when her blood is drawn.

I hope we get to see a bit more of Anwar, even though typically I prefer to have le kidz off camera. I'm curious to see how Yolanda deals with a son. That strawberry breakfast was different.
Copa, (giggling)
Didn't you hear Yo ask her son if he wanted lunch or something like that, a sandwich and then she said "some almonds?"
I would have died and gone to heaven if he turned around and said "Can I have 10 almonds instead of 6?"

Dang, when Kyle was leaving Brandi had Kim in a dang choke hold. Bizarre.
I never knew who this Whitney chick was but I found her so funny talking about Brandi last night on WWHL. Brandi said Andy is bullying her. This, coming from who said SkankyJoanna's vajajay smelled.

Tamra Judge: Naked Wasted
in The Real Housewives Of Orange County
· Edited by Lablover27
Ya, I had a dream the other night. I walked in Cashless CuntFitness and she told me I had to take home 56 lbs of towels to wash, dry and fold and then I would get a visor at the next time they gave a demonstration in front of Vons. I was the fattest person there. (The shame!) And she only had custody of Ryan's baby as he was in jail. They had a jar out on the counter for his bail. I couldn't find my purse I was trying to say Ryan stole it for a tattoo. I asked where is Simon? And then Teeths rode by on his bike with that fake baby on his back and she screamed he was fucking Kentucky and he screamed back "I'm biking to Bruce's house". I couldn't pull the door open into the gym because there was a Marshall there, collecting money for Juicy Joe Guidice's gas money - just to the end of his driveway. Then I woke up and said 'I miss that pugly over botoxed new booby fried haired eggless grandma'.
Um, maybe not. I dread seeing her dried up, new boobs, over botoxed black eyes, evilness, desperate for a story line, exotic loving bike rider husband who loves his bike seat more than her kids and her sell out for $ for her dried up ... um gym.
Oh, P.S. Happy Easter my friends ;)
