Why Does Jennifer Lopez Hide In The Storage Closet At Airports? (Hint: It's Not The Paparazzi!)

  • First Class lounges aren't really exclusive enough for Jennifer Lopez anymore, but she's got a resourceful fix: she slips through a mysterious unmarked door in the lounge, giving the illusion she is entering some platinum VIP area, when really she's just hiding in a storage closet. Yeah, I couldn't have made that shit up either. [MSNBC]
  • Oh shit, and this JUST HAPPENED: so maybe JLo was just avoiding getting served with the $5 million lawsuit filed by the flight attendant her guard dog attacked. [TMZ]
  • But a subpoena in that 1999 nightclub shooting — shit, it sucks when you realize something that feels forever ago actually was forever ago — found her! [NY Post]
  • Verne Troyer is suing TMZ for $20 million over that sex tape thing. Not because it's a sex tape, but for copyright reasons. Show of hands: did anyone actually watch the clip of this? I really don't think he lost too many otherwise paying customers. If amateur midget porn is what you're into is a little clip really going to sate you? [TMZ]
  • Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey ran into each other at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday party but sources say it didn't seem like they had much to say to one another. [Page Six]
  • Will Anne Hathaway put aside the hurt she feels and save the poor puppy Raffaello Follieri can no longer afford to have walked? Well, Anne?? [Page Six]

OMG, the new season of The Real Housewives of New York City is gonna be SO GOOD, judging by this New York magazine piece about our favorite couple, Alex McCord, and Simon Van Kampen. (The pair have hired their own publicist to keep them in the public eye in between seasons.) Despite the fact that they feel as though they were "victims of editing," the couple, after contract negotiations, have signed on for the second season of the reality show because they came to New York to be famous, and as Simon says, "Now we have that." [NY Magazine]

Real Housewives Of New York: The Bitching You Didn't See The First Time Around

Thank God for DVR. I had no idea that Bravo was airing a clip-show of unseen Real Housewives of New York footage until I noticed it in my recording schedule. What a great, boring Tuesday night surprise! Some highlights from the show include Ramona and Bethenny discussing blowjobs and their vibrators, and more footage of Ramona acting like a maniac/pathological liar. In the clip above, we get to see even more of her confrontation with Alex and Simon on the night that Simon crashed the "girls only" dinner party. Was Ramona drunk when she got there? Who acts like that? In any event, at least she was saying what everyone else watching was thinking.

This Week We Learned About Hookers, Muumuus And Moms.

  • If this whole Jezebel thing doesn't work out, we now know how to become an internet "escort."
  • Lilly Ledbetter is a stand-up lady. Maybe someday women will get equal pay for equal work, but not today.
  • But look! Babies and puppies!
  • We became certified Tina Feynatics.
  • We talked about moms! You can't live with them, can't shed their DNA.

After record-breaking ratings for its season finale and reunion special, The Real Housewives of New York City has definitely been picked up for a second season. Yay! It's not clear yet if every cast member will be returning (since Alex and Simon were pissed off at how they were edited to look like social climbers, and Ramoarawn is completely unpredictable), but we really hope they all do. If you still haven't got enough of them, check out the extras Bravo has up on its site. Our favorite is a little clip in which Simon addresses viewer emails about whether or not he's gay. (Click image to check hear his answer.) [Multichannel]

Real Housewives Reunion: "Ramona, Are You A Moar-Rawn!?"

There was so much that went down on the Real Housewives of New York City reunion, that we had to put up a second clip to continue the discussion. Here's the rundown: Ramona pretty much acted like an insane person for the entire hour (like when she refused to sit on the couch for the discussion of Alex's nude photos), but she got really heated when she was challenged on her habitual lying by Jill. Jill became so frustrated that she screamed in her Long Island accent, "Ramona, are you a moar-rawn!?" If there is a second season of this show (please, please!), we will totally be referring to Ramona as Ramoarawn.

Real Housewives Reunion: Alex McCord, Husband Can't Keep Story Straight On Nude Photos

OMG! How awesome was the Real Housewives of New York City reunion special last night? The women all 'took it there', and didn't let each other off the hook for anything, giving us tons to talk about. First of all, how bullshit is it that Simon and Alex tried to say they aren't social climbers when they admitted it on camera? Secondly, did you hear their answer to the question about Alex's nude photos popping up on the internet? They said that the photographer illegally released them, and that Alex and Simon had no choice but to just accept. However, we know that neither is true. Also, how fucking perfect is it that Alex quoted Ayn Rand to explain herself!? Clip above, and another one on the way, later today.

Real Housewife, Husband, Sic Lawyers On Photog Over Naked Photos

Remember that series of nude photographs of Alex McCord of Real Housewives of New York City that surfaced a few weeks ago? Well, Ms. McCord, is, not surprisingly, having regrets. The images were taken over a year ago as part of photographer Mike Boyd's "Masks" project, a series of photos of naked models wearing Mardi Gras masks. (McCord answered Mike's Craigslist call for models for "artistic nudes" and was paid $100 for the sitting, which her husband, Simon, attended with her.) But now that McCord been identified as one of the masked women and photos have made the rounds, Boyd tells us that he's received threatening emails and calls from the couple and their lawyers, even though, according to the terms of the release form Alex signed, he hasn't done anything wrong.

Even Real Housewives Have Kids Who Are Pains In The Ass

Ugh: Last night was the finale of Real Housewives of New York City, but seriously, how can things be over already when they were just getting good and bitchy? Fortunately, we did get more of a glimpse into the psyche of Francois, the oldest of Alex and Simon's little boys. He's wild, and, during the big group dinner at the 21 Club, he caused a scene by screaming at the top of his lungs and destroying someone's $30 cheeseburger. To be fair, if my sister and I were taken to a 5-star restaurant when we were that age, we would've probably beat the shit out of each other, spilled something on my mom, and acted out the little piggy from A Christmas Story. But as Bethenny said, the way that Alex and Simon discuss child-rearing — getting them into the best schools, teaching them different languages, choosing the proper instrument to learn — you'd think their kids would be into Emily Post or some shit. Clip above. More »

Real Housewives: Husband Crashes Girls Night Out, Pisses Off Girls

As we've witnessed on Real Housewives of New York City (and in real life in NYC), Alex and her husband Simon are attached at the hip, to the point that it seems unnatural. In fact, their codependency has been a major plot point on the series, because it kinda freaks out the other women cast members. On last night's episode, Bethenny threw a "girl's night out" dinner party at Jill's apartment, but Alex decided to bring Simon. This really pissed off Ramona. She had a meltdown and then abruptly got up from the dinner table to go hang out with her girlfriends downtown. She was kind of rude, but honestly we don't really blame her. There's always that one woman who can't be out in public without her BF/husband, and dealing with that shit gets really old, really fast. Clip above.

Unmarried Real Housewife Bethenny Gets Really Drunk...Again

Last week, booze-loving, baby-fever Bethenny became our favorite of the Real Housewives of New York City, and last night's episode only served to solidify our feelings about her when she got both drunk and belligerent at Brooklyn mom Alex's surprise birthday party. Clip above.

The Unmarried Real Housewife Is Definitely Our Favorite

It's really easy to be grossed out by the climber-y vibe you get from some of the cast members of The Real Housewives of New York City, but Betheny — the one who isn't married, and has a career, thus making her kind of the opposite of a housewife — seems to be the only one who is truly self-aware. It's kind of great, albeit a little mean girl-ish, how she gives Alex shit for naming her kids Francois and Johan and trying to make them baby geniuses (which she seems to be failing at, since she couldn't even get Francois into a good pre-K). Clip above.

Real Housewives Of NYC: "Just Because I Like [Women's] Clothes Doesn't Make Me Gay"

I cannot get enough of the co-dependent Brooklyn couple Alex and Simon on The Real Housewives of New York City. The names they pick for their children (Johan and Francois), their skimpy beach attire, their uppity-ness regarding cultural sophistication which is offset by their mutual love of trashy Roberto Cavalli garb — it's all so perfect. And just when you think Simon's sexual preference couldn't be anymore questionable, he'll limply dangle a gold pantsuit as a potential fashion choice for his wife. In the clip above, the pair attend a show at NYC's Fashion Week, and eyebrows are raised by the other Housewives about Simon's presence there.

Real Housewives' Countess LuAnn Is Kind Of A Cuntess

Last night's Real Housewives of New York City really emphasized the differences between the New York "housewives" and the O.C. "housewives". For the most part, the O.C. Housewives were buddies: they got Botox together, got drunk together, and yelled at their kids together. The Real Housewives of New York, however, are much more focused on social status/hierarchy, and absolutely delight in snubbing each other. In the clip above, Ramona, who is desperately trying to befriend the more patrician Countess LuAnn deLesseps, goes to children's day at the Hampton Classic horse show, where LuAnn's daughter Victoria is "showing." In some later commentary, LuAnn gives Ramona the most backhanded compliment I've ever heard. Clip above.

The Real Housewives Of NYC: Raising Their Children By Example

Much like the fruit that symbolizes each locale, The Real Housewives of New York City and The Real Housewives of Orange County are apples and oranges — there's really no comparison. Maybe it's that in New York society there's so much more emphasis placed on culture and education, or maybe it's just that it takes much more wealth to live in NYC than California, but the women on Bravo's newest reality series are in a very different game than their West Coast counterparts, making the show much more than watching overly-tanned blondes in prefab mansions. But there's one thing that's the same no matter your location or financial status: When you're 12 years old, you find your mom embarrassing. For me, it was when my mom would call the homes of parties I was attending to make sure adults would be home. For Ramona's daughter Avery, it's when her mom kisses her onetime Playboy model friend on the lips. Clip above.
