My guess is the August 29th issue will be in my grocery store Thursday.  For some stupid reason they date the issues ahead. 

They do that so that it can stay on the newsstands longer without appearing to be an old issue.

Welcome To New York? Yolanda Foster 'In Talks' To Join 'Real Housewives Of NYC'

She would be an interesting addition, and I am surprised Bravo has any question about her "fitting in".  The fact that she won't fit in is what makes it work.  Can you just see her sitting there calmly saying "Please let me finish" over and over again while Bethenny is screeching at her.

I have said it on another thread but I have to say it again.  BRAVO NO!  Do not bring Yolemon onto NY.  She was insufferable on BH and NY has enough insufferable players as it is.  I don't want her trying to cure Lyme in NY.  I don't want to hear the endless kid promotion.  I CERTAINLY don't want her to have her friends Brandi and Kim (provided she's allowed to travel after all her legal issues) visit.  I have a strong feeling or two.

Plain and simple Yolanda could not keep up and her only friend Carole, would not give up her relationship with Bethenny to hold Yolanda's hand.

Interesting article but I find it a bit of a stretch.  I don't see the comparison between Scary Island and Miami.  As much as I don't like Beth now, for me Kelly being bonkers had nothing to do with anything Beth did on Scary Island.  Yeah, Beth did scream, "Go to sleep" and that was not the best thing to say but Kelly was off the wall crazy that trip.  She was not IMO systematically bullied but rather made a number of purposeful statements that caused the other women to defend themselves.  The whole you are a cook, not a chef is one of the more memorable ones.  Or the I don't eat processed food but I eat gummy bears.  Her declaration to Alex about her eyes.  Beth trying to kill her.  Or the comment about Beth's goody bag.  Her reaction to the women asking her to walk away if she wanted to talk to her daughters on the phone.  I could go on.  Nope.  Kelly was off the wall.  Miami and Lu was just cruel.  Yeah, Lu went a bit overboard about her happiness being engaged.  No different from many people.  Beth's agenda was so uncalled for and painful to watch...no matter how one may feel about Lu.  The Beth interrogation about Lu's relationship with Tom followed by the telling/showing the pictures to Carole and Ro and then Ro telling  Yo.  The snarky comments from the three of them at dinner.  I don't think Lu (love her or hate her) did anything to deserve that.

I have always thought it odd that Bethenny dare mention the fame aspect of Luann's engagement and wedding since she did a three season show about the same.  Another case of Bethenny demanding Luann live her life by Bethenny's rules.  Not everyone wants the fame, some appear to support their wife/girlfriend.  Would Bethenny be all over Mauricio for appearing and promoting his business on the show?     

Luann has totally screwed herself saying Tom is wealthier than Bethenny.  I can see Bethenny hiring financial investigators to find out the scoop on Tom.

Did she actually say that Tom had been "preying" on Housewives but LuLu was the only one who wanted to get married?

And I'd like to talk to the people who thought B was more upset than LuLu! Must have been her interns or PA or something.

Well, Yes and No. Jules admits to an ED, many do not even though they do have an ED. SJP is too thin, that is not natural nor is it healthy IMO.

SJP is, imho, too thin. And that does not aid the aging process/looks. A little weight fills out the wrinkles. She looks an old 51, imho.

Well of course. But the point is not that other people are skinny just like Jules and therefore, what's the big deal. I keep seeing pictures of other random skinny people and folks asking why Jules frame is being discussed when the another random skinny persons frame isn't being discussed. The big deal about Jules is that she says she has an ED and it is clearly not under control. And also she is on the show, and a person like SJP isn't on the show. If she were and was destroying her food, I promise folks would be talking. Her skinniness would be an issue. To compare her to Jules at this point, just because they are both skinny, would be like showing some random, loud, bitchy chick and asking why it's such a big deal for Beth to be a bitch when there are other bitchy people around. 

Edited August 29, 2016 by motorcitymom65

[zoeysmom]

My reason for posting it is not if one has an eating disorder, but the comment Bethenny made that Jules physique made others uncomfortable to be around.  I have a neighbor that is every bit as thin as Jules and hers is due to cancer.  She's alive and that is all that is important.  It is more about commenting on being uncomfortable when there is very little to the naked eye to distinguish the difference in these women's frames. 

We don't know if Jules ED on any given day is "under control", I thought she looked fab last time she was on WWHL.  We have no idea if some of these famously thin women have eating disorders or not, unless they care to share it with us.

True I think Jules thought she had it under control when she started filming but lost it from all the stress these shows and a crumbling marriage brings. I give her credit, she realizes she has a problem and fights it everyday, some better than others and some days not so well but admitting to it is half the battle. She looked great when she and Dorinda were on WWHL, so I think it is safe to say that she is doing much, much better now.

[smores]

I think SJP (and Bethenny, for what it's worth), also have some muscle tone to them.  Jules doesn't really seem to have a lot of muscle mass/tone/definition, which is also part of the issue.  I don't think any of them (Jules, Bethenny, SJP) are at a normal, healthy weight, but when there's the lack of muscle, it is more unhealthy, since the body will start to break down muscle tissue for fuel if not given enough through food.

Bold mine.

It sometimes happens that the esp. skinny-conscious will compensate for their skinny appearances with, at times excessive, gym-work.

It can look stringy but adds volume and takes lots, some might say excessive, workout time.

I think SJP looks skinny and stringy. And older than her years.

[smores]

I don't disagree that SJP looks skinny and stringy.  I'd even raise you a Kelly Ripa.  But, I'm just saying that I think that the muscle definition is what makes them at least appear healthier.  I think it would be hard to maintain the muscle if they weren't eating at all (or very, very little).  Having seen how much Jules struggled to force that one bite of pizza in, I kind of think she's not really putting that many calories in her body, so wouldn't be able to do any compensatory gym work.

You know what's horrible?  She looks scary in that pic, but when I glance at it quickly, all I see is that inside corner of her eyebrow that sticks up and how it makes her eyebrows not match.  For some reason that drives me crazy and not the fact that she looks like she went into weightlifting contest overdrive.

Yes, I think it's Dorinda doing coke, not Luann. The compromise however would be to show another picture which is then Tom, maybe? Who's taking these pictures? Bethenny has spies? ????

[jinjer]

Well Dorinda and John were at Beth's home in the Hamptons, so those photos could've been taken at Beth's home by her assistants even if not her or another party goer.  Even giving Bethenny the benefit of the doubt that she wouldn't purposefully take the photo, the two of them could've been caught in the background of someone else's photo.  An "oh shit!" moment.  But wanting to use them on TV just sucks.  Party pooper Bethenny.  Apparently Coke has made a huge comeback. And Ecstasy is right there all along.  These parties aren't dry.

This fits with something I posted in the reunion thread.  Tamara Tattles recap is up and she says that she received an email during the season that Bethenny had pictures of a "cast member" doing coke but that Bravo would not let her air them.  TT did not use the info because she did not know if it was true - she mentioned it in the recap because of the drug allegations made during the reunion.  Oh, and she said the cast member was NOT Dorinda.

Interesting to see it mentioned elsewhere.

Martha Stewart scares me.  Huge props to Luann for not flinching and running away.  She has a spine and delusions that give her bravodo.

It's why I like her even if she's delusional.  At least she stands up to Bethenny.
