I'm thinking that the light blue shirt and rolled up sleeves means that Joe is really, really, going into this travesty and get into work.

I think I made the comment about Carole's cap.....but I only meant she is trying way too hard to be young and portray being "a girl." I actually have friends of 25 and 45 years that are girly-girls....and adore them.....but they don't act or dress like they are in their 20's. I'm a sweats, jeans, tee shirt kind of senior retired woman at 68. Usually not any makeup either. Except for going out now and then......

I wouldn't really be introducing let alone claim any step father that was a molester, mobster, drunk and druggie to my daughter to claim I actually had family - therefore Brynn does as well on BF's side. Unfortunately BF doesn't even have friends that can be an auntie or uncle to Brynn in a great family friend sort of way......her daughter is young enough to appreciate that for decades to come. It is very sad that Bethenny can't appreciate the family stability the Hoppy's bring to her daughter and compensate for it in some other way.

Just grow up Carole, with that stupid hat.....bunny ears and tee shirt last epi. Bethenny was funny with "Is Sonja seeing Hari Krishanas now?" I'll never believe, as "Dr" A said....that BF was deeply in love with Jason. They fought all the time on the spin offs. Regarding the stepdad....he was as harshly honest as Bethenny.......and he didn't necessarily need to reconnect with BF first after 20 years.....He did explain how it really was, and why. Stupid, stupid, stupid, imo, Carole said coyly "boys are always a distraction." Hey, GIRL.....you're no longer one.....Good grief, now she is trying to show she is back to writing....except not really.

I'll never understand.......at what point does it have to get to be happy with wealth....be it 1, 5, 10, 15, 22 M when it was mostly earned while married and with a child. What amount crosses the line into greed?

I've really had a problem knowing Nicolle was the Director of Communications for GWB. But today it all became clear to me when she commented to Chris Harris she was surprised he could be there the day after the first episode aired last night. Yes, Nicolle, he flew all night from the mansion just to be there and will fly back this afternoon to be there tonight because the Bachelorette just couldn't be taped and edited......could it? LOL

I have nothing.....nothing about today's show. Same old, same old. Not even fun to snark on anymore......

I can't get excited for any of the guests or co-hosts next week...... So the finale of Mad Men is tonight (west coast) and I can just hear NW tomorrow saying No, No, No! Don't tell me yet....I haven't seen it yet.....don't talk about it! She just did that recently about a show she hadn't seen yet. As far as I am concerned once a show has aired it is fair game for discussion.

As far as I am concerned RS is on the same level of intellect as SS. Sherri thinks they'd better glam Tubman up a little....Raven that we need "to move a little bit forward. I don't even know why Raven is there.....her age, for a younger point of view? I mean....what does she offer? Not even comedy.....and the totally rediculous, imo, acting out while presentations are being made. So we have WG, NW, RP and RS and endless guest co-hosts. We've had the co-hosts for years now! Can't they get some sense of stability?

Really Cosmocrush. Especially since NW said "Whoopi would hate this!" Probably not....but at this time I believe she couldn't care less. And rightfully so. Plus it was stupid for NW to say Whoopi is reading fb and twitter condolences.

Yes, the college student is a Dem. But not sure NW knew at the time - it was, imo, a valid question that played out today........lol, NW did step in it today with Jeb's turn around. I saw Ivy interviewed tonight on Lawrence O'Donnell.

I hope Joy is on when SS fills in for RP on the 28th.....already been taped. And no WG, of course. OMG - Raven, NW, SS and who else? IMO these producers need to go! And yes, shockingly Maddow's former EP included. What a circus.....sigh. Even today Joy said that in the pre-show meeting they discussed Paltrow and were told what she ate during the food stamp challenge. What was not mentioned is GP could NOT do it for a week and went out to dinner during the challenge. BTW......seems to me RP's hair is much too heavy for her in the mermaid style with heavy bangs - she seems she is squashed down. LOL NW - Jeb did a complete turn around today. As most of the other contenders say they would not have engaged in Iraq then.

Satan Andy is a correct name for Andy. The promotion of Sophia is very serious. I am shocked and I can't imagine her daughter and OMM aren't worried or think this is all a joke or just for our entertainment. But Andy gets a kick out of it and big $$$.

I have a tight group of women that have gotten together for 49, 45 and 26 years....I'll refer to them as "the girls." The rest of my friends I refer to as my friends, or my college friends that see each other as the "college gals." I'm 68 and would never have referred to myself as a girl after 20, 21.

Thanks motorcitymom, lol! Actually my cat's name, and yes from the song and unfortunately Cat of A Hot Tin Roof.....she is a rescue from a hard life. Such a sweetheart. BOT....that's it - the interns are not from good families.....probably raised by wolves. And needed to learn to entertain but alas failed.

Was it last season Sonja had the use of a Hampton's home and entertained the housewives......and the interns served them? The interns are young and from good families according to Sonja yet they can't be left alone....even when she goes to AC or Gstaad? ............Guess I just broke my new personal rule about discussing Sonja........

Just what the show needs....a comedian. They think their job is to entertain us with their brilliant humor. Ugh. I watch The Chew....none of them are comedians but they are all so fun and funny. No need to have the title to be amusing and fun. This show is now under the News division, not the Entertainment division. And they promote guests for various talents. Rosie O was funny as well as serious and informed (whether viewers agreed or not with her view) and she brought a lot to the show like different topics and causes, people, crafts etc. Now we get WG's stealth stealing, Nicole's incessant chit chat during presentations, Raven trying to steal the limelight from the presenter with her antics, and RP's overly personal joy at each and every celebrity and stamp of approval - let alone lectures complete with "facts." And now bringing SS back at least for a visit.

Well, Nicolle finally admitted it.....she "reveres W." I hope they hire Joy next season.....NW seems to walk all over the others with her defense of the GOP and it felt to me that Joy helped the panel get a backbone.

I can't get over this tribute to Whoopi this week. It just seems so inappropriate, imo, since the show knew the seriously scary journey she was making. Then to add by NW "Whoopi would hate this!" Ya think? And they do it anyway? It is terribly sad, and even more so since it is daunting to be the last of a generation to the rest of the family. I think, at least for me since I'm 68, one starts thinking about that as the previous generations pass on.

I'm not going to chat about Sonja because I think she is quite delusional and really needs professional care. Surely during these RHONY Old Man Morgan has to be very concerned about his daughter and even Sonja's mental stability and shenanigans. And unwilling to bail her out. But Carole is very delusional as well, for the moment. She is no longer it seems part of her husband's family connections - nor a correspondent, journalist, writer etc. Her only story this season is she is a hot 51 year old dating a 29 year old and throwing up on his shoes, eating gummies, and her wardrobe accessories like tee shirt and ears. Look at me! Look at me!

I've been looking around for info on Carole dating G Clooney.....All I can find is her word on it "We dated literally during the Eisenhower years." 1953-1961. Let's see here, she was born in 1963. I started in the 80's and GC has had relationships as short as a year but often longer, so if anything it never seems to have taken off. Oh that Carole.....so cute and witty!

Several British papers are reporting that Whoopi's brother has passed away from a brain aneurysm.

I read it....what hooey. And I normally love Vanity Fair. What is it with writers not watching the show and then declaring Rosie P "articulate", and saying BW hired women that "brought intellectual cool and gravitas"....Debbie, Jenny, Sherri, Elizabeth and Elisabeth, let alone WG?

I don't recall ever having Ree OR Ladd mentioning to let meat "rest."

I didn't catch the new guest host today and liked her. I found it interesting that she shared the mod's responsibilities with Nicolle rather than Rosie, lol. If you can hear the ipads from the kids in the seat behind you on an airplane then they are too loud, imo. Too bad Raven doesn't want to be labeled but has no problem labeling an autistic person and saying they need to fly on their own airline. Ever notice how Rosie ingratiates herself to every celebrity on the show by personally telling them how much SHE loves them? Like they are her BFF and not because of their acting, music, etc.
