I have seen others making the claim that Tom is asking for money here before though. LOL

What Tom was asking for was a solid kick to the balls.

 As far as I know, he never got it. it's not too late though maybe Luann will eventually land one, lol

[BBHN]

I do think the divorce will get bitter once custody of the strap-on comes up.

[Celia Rubenstein]

I hope Luann lets Tom keep the strap on and instead opts to keep the new kitchen chairs.

They have a lot less mileage!

What I got from the article is that Tom paid for a kitchen restoration.  From what I've seen there never was a kitchen restoration.

I thought Andy wasted time asking about Scott Disick.  If he wanted to address rumors, why not the ones we really wanted to know about?  Once an article makes such an outrageous claim I pretty much dismiss any claim they have to veracity.

You mean the HWs that ended up being FOH, or including the FOH who weren't HWs?

The HWs that ended up being FOH. 

 

It would also be fun to list the FOH who weren't HWs though!!

BH- Faye Resnick

NJ- Kim D. & Kim G.  (those might be a stretch!) Rosie, for sure! 

OC- Brianna (maybe?)

Would family like Rosie and Brianna count???  IDK......

Don't watch Potomac, Dallas, and didn't watch Miami, so no clue about those shows.

What is Tom doing with his hand?

About to grab Ramona's grapefruit?

Mindy's kind of fug. She must be a beej queen or something.

Ramona's ponytail is preposterous.  She'd look better with Tom's 'do.

Notice how when Tom's hand goes over towards Ramona, her nose goes higher in the air. Almost as though he has an invisible finger lifting it.

Anna Rothschild used to date Tommy Gilbert Jr (hedge fund baby). Tommy is supposed to go to trial soon for killing his father.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2900682/Tommy-Gilbert-s-ex-girlfriend-Anna-Rothschild-says-warned-kill-her.html

Guess who represents Tommy? None other than criminal defense attorney Alex Spiro who is representing Jason Hoppy in the stalking case

[breezy424]

I find it hard to believe that Tom is 'engaged' to anyone right now and given the 'source', it makes me believe it even less.

How does this man have the energy to be out so many nights. I'm just a few years younger than him and if I'm not in bed by 9pm I'm no good to anyone for a few days.

I agree. It's ludicrous and impossible and click-bait silly.

But I really want it to be true anyway  :)

It would be so insane and juicy -- the faux Countess replaced by a faux Rothschild -- it's delish.

None of those women were on as a HW. They were all on for 1 season each as a FOH. Some of them guested on additional seasons where they weren't even a FOH, they were just listed as a guest for that season. And you know none of them were on as a full-time HW since they weren't in the opening credits.

How would Dorinda know what kind of wife and mother Lu was during her first marriage?  How does she know that Lu's a homebody when she's married?  She didn't know Lu back then, and Lu and Tom seemed to be very socially active outside the home. 

[hoodooznoodooz]

There's a Daily Mail article from 10 hours ago. Anna Rothschild states that she and Tom are not engaged. But she gushes about what a great guy he is. (And it's true! Tom never shot his dad.)

Dorinda is very slippery with her comments about Tom/Luann.

She flip flops.

She took credit for the 2 getting together claiming she has known Tom for years and was a friend. Then it became she didn't know him so well when the Regency Kiss photo came out. Then she slammed the couple for trying to get her to lie for them. Then she's a bridesmaid, doing lots of press before the wedding - saying they were perfect for each other. Then there is no way he could have cheated on her because he's like a toddler and Luann tells him what to do all day (TH shot from the show, do this, sit here, eat this, do that) She sang another tune in Vermont when she was sick of Luann talking about how great things were with her and Tom.

It will be interesting what stand Luann has her take next season and if Dorinda will do it.

I'm going to defend Tom D'Agostino.

Tom, since being on this show has never shown us (the viewing audience) anything but his true self. He was a happy bachelor that liked women. More than one at a time. He'd been engaged 2x before putting a ring on Luann's finger and being frog marched down the aisle. The engagement ring on Luann's finger did not stop him from playing tonsil hockey with The Regency Bunny.

Publicly Luann forgave him and still chose to walk down the aisle. She lived with him for 10 months before the marriage. I don't think Tom is "smart or slick" enough to hide his behavior from Luann. Luann is not some naive ingenue.

As for Anna and Tom, I wouldn't put it past them to be "engaged" - doesn't mean he's going to marry her or that she is going to marry him. He is still legally married to Luann and even if both sides don't contest the divorce it will take at least a year in NYC.

Maybe Anna has a thing for men named Tom/Thomas

I guess they can do a parody film...There's Something About Tom

That is a very good point, KFB. 

So there is a very good chance that when they agreed to get married, Tom never promised monogamy? Maybe Lu just assumed?

[ScoobieDoobs]

Anyone know if Lu is still wearing the ring?  Will she pawn it?  I found a pic of it-

Gosh, it looks so similar to this ring for 40 bucks from JTV.

I thought the previous rumor was that she bought it? But the only thing those rings have in common is a popular setting for the last few years.

I think actions speak louder than words. An engagement ring is a "promise" so his tongue action with the Regency Bunny was an unspoken vow of infidelity.

Or maybe that big "diamond" is as real as Gretchie-poo's, or it's as included as Sonja noted -- and pretty much worthless.

For some reason I do believe Luann would not accept a fugazi for Tom.  My bet is she beat feet to get it insured and appraised.  I get this evil little picture in my mind of Tom waiting for Luann to fall asleep and swamping rings.

ITA, I don't think Lu would have tolerated a crap ring.  No way.  But her ring may not be all that costly, even if it is real.  Large yellow diamonds can cost millions -- or they can be fairly affordable.  The quality (and price) of colored diamonds is all over the place.  OK, for example, here's a ring from Tiffany's that's sorta comparable to Lu's-

http://www.tiffany.com/collections/tiffany-soleste/tiffany-soleste-yellow-diamond-ring-31484642?omcid=ppc_google_PLA+-++Everything+Else+Campaign+-+US&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=PLA+-++Everything+Else+Campaign+-+US&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=NijubQRX|pcrid|87335652373|pkw||pmt||pdv|c|&mkwid=sNijubQRX|pcrid|87335652373|pkw||pmt||pdv|c|mtid|744dpc50313|slid||productid|31484642_PT18Y CUDI.44FY DB RG|&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjKaU6da61gIV0UsNCh2IGwiLEAQYAiABEgJvBvD_BwE

Sure, the setting is different, but it's a decent-sized yellow diamond, with some white diamonds, in a nice 18k setting.  And it's 7600 bucks.  And that's from Tiffany's.  Can we assume Tom coulda gotten Lu's ring for a whole lot cheaper?  Maybe, but even if he didn't & he actually sprung 7600 bucks on Lu, or thereabout . . . uh, it ain't exactly Kim Kardashian's 3 million dollar jobbie, is it?  I'm thinking, for Tom, with his one bedroom penthouse, 7600 bucks is a whole lotta dough.

Luann's ring was 8 carat this one is .44 total carats.  I thought it was estimated to have been $125,000.00.  

Luann seemed quite proud of the fact she still had the ring and that Tom hadn't asked for it back.

I think the big money was spent on the wedding, and I am thinking Luann shelled out a big chunk of change for it.

A whole lot of what Luann said publicly differs from Tom's actions.

Tom is "private" - the reason she gave Andy for not inviting the other HW's or to film the "wedding" Yet she and Tom did a bunch of "press" for the wedding as well as filming on the show. Tom being photographed after the divorce announcement negates his "wish for privacy"

Remember way back during her engagement Luann said she loves Tom so much and one of her examples was that he "allows" her to watch TV in bed. I wonder if he revoked her TV privileges to get her out of the Penthouse

If a man is truly a private man there is no way he would always be hovering around women who live their lives on tv. There is no way he would have abandoned a date at a bar room for a woman who is known solely for being a reality star.
