Why are Adrienne Maloof and Paul Getting Divorced?

TMZ reported it that the what some thought of as cute couple Adrienne Maloof and Paul Nassif are now calling it quits.  For now anyway.  The stars of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have separated.  While it's not clear if they will try to work it out or file for divorce, you can't help but feel sad for them.  Since season one Adrienne didn't hide the fact that Paul annoyed the crap out of her.  You could see the distance in their relationship and it was pretty sad.

What's interesting is that Paul filed the paperwork for a legal separation.  I think Adrienne is a super smart businesswoman for the fact that even though they were married they kept their money separate. 

The duo has three sons together Colin, Christian and Gavin.  Paul is asking for joint legal custody of the children.  Paul commented "The wellfare of our children is my primary focus as Adrienne and I work through this difficult time.  I want the best for her and our children and I hope that everyone can respect our privacy away from the cameras."  Hopefully time will heal all wounds and they can find a way to work this out.  It will be interesting how Bravo tries to re-edit footage of the upcoming new season of Housewives to I'm sure show the start of their downfall.

Gretchen Rossi vs. Alexis Bellino

Wow Gretchen called Alexis out on the email about Fox 5 News. Did you notice how after Gretchen pulled out the emails, Alexis asks the crew "are you going to get my emails or am I?" So maybe that does prove that maybe she is rude to the crew.  Alexis seems like such a liar, with her response back to Gretchen.  Now Alexis has her emails, where all it says is "we will not use any other."  What does that prove?  At least Alexis is still a 10th of a little more intelligent then Teresa Giudice.  LMAO at when Tamra asked Alexis if she still worked there.  Alexis tweeted that the reason was because the station wanted to go in a "different direction."  That's a nice way of saying that they felt embarrassed by her performance.  They also admitted that they are a serious news broadcast station and the Housewives show pretty runs their reputation in the mud.  Ok now on to "cake gate" I feel like they did overreact to the stupid bow. I can see a lot of people drunk picking pieces of dessert off something who cares.  I can see though how it's irritating when Sarah is arguing with her instead of just apologizing.  I'm sure it would have never escalated had she said yes you're right that was my bad. 

I liked Brooks in the beginning but fromVicki admitting that he drives her car, lives in one of her condo's rent paid, doesn't pay child support.  Kinda gross.  I know a lot of men from the south that don't give their ladies affirmations especially ones that aren't rich.  I think Gretchen should also keep her mouth shut because she's dating one of the biggest opportunists ever even if he does really love her.  I think that Gretchen is smart in not marrying Slade. While CA child support law says they don't take the new wife/husband's income into account I don't believe that's true if you have a good attorney.  Why should Slade's ex girlfriend take some of Gretchen's income that she worked so hard for. On the other hand, Gretchen if she loves Slade wouldn't she want to help out the kids he loves? It's a double edged sword. I find Gretchen to seem like a very selfish person and she probably wants all the limelight on her as well as all of Slade's attention.  I wouldn't be surprised if she just wished the kids would go away. She could have always given Slade a loan in writing to pay back his back child support.  Then I'm sure she would have pushed him to get a job to pay her back instead of helping her or hanging out with her all of the time.  The accusations that I've heard that he works for Gretchen and they put everything in her name so the banks/courts can track it I totally believe.

Brianna enters the scene and I'm sorry but she's the most honest of everyone. I feel like if she has a bad feeling about Brooks why wouldn't she be valid? Who doesn't want to see their parent happy again? I think Brianna's comment about Brooks wanting to be in the TV world as Vicki's man makes sense. I think slowly Vicki is starting to realize it too, she just doesn't want to be alone especially if Donn has a new girlfriend and is seemingly happy outside the Bravo network. Either way it was cute how Brianna and Vicki held hands the whole time.  Whoa holy hell Vicki had sex with that Donn look a like in Cabo.  Remember the scene with all of the them in the pool?? I knew it!!

Are Nora and Renee Friends Again?

Mob Wives here we go. I hope that next season we see them get stylists and start acting a little more polished like how we saw the change in the original Mob Wives. Come on you can see a difference once people start to gain fame. They dress differently and their makeup/hair starts to look better. I can't be the only one that thinks these Chicago wives look like a hot mess.  The show is just starting I don't know what sets it all off later but so far I feel scared there's about to be another bully/gang up on situation.  Those situations I feel are pussy shit and I feel like more than one girl especially over 40 year olds attacking someone is disgusting.  What are we teaching our kids?  If you don't like eachother and you have children why are you going to events where these people are? You know there's gonna be a fight and alcohol will be involved. The chances of acting a fool are high and you still go?  Not me.  I'd rather get drunk in the privacy of my own home without embarrassing the ones I love or getting arrested. 

OMG are they making wine in a bag? watching these meth heads touch that bag of wine and squeeze makes me feel really dirty.  I always laugh out loud when I see women at the gym with fake eyelashes, full makeup and their hair down. really? you will never get a good workout that way just maybe a one night stand.  But hey, everyone pays for the gym for different reasons.  Nora please I'm sorry but what is her real age? If it's still in her 30's like people say she looks like shit. I'm 32 and every time I see her it makes me want to quit smoking.  It's sad when someone looks so bad that you are afraid you might eventually look like them.  Is that mean? I'm sorry. It's the wine and shots.....oh and the marlboro lights. 

Nora is talking a lot of shit on Renee so now I don't feel sorry for her because it's true why does she care? Who says they have food poisoning before they ate but wants a shot of tequila.  Admit you're scared because you talk shit and can't back it up.  I just told my boyfriend that I can't understand how these women can teach their daughters how to act as classy sane women yet continue this highschool behavior.  I lost at least 20 friends over the past 3 years because I didnt' want to be around this bullshit. Had I not cared I would be with them every Saturday with the chance of fighting in public, getting arrested and kicked out of some of my favorite restaurants. I'm sorry am I the only one that doesn't feel like that's appropriate?  It's obvious these wives want to one up the original Mob Wives at the cost of their family.  It's kinda messed up the girls tried to get Nora to come back to "work things out" when that was obvious not the reason. They wanted a fight and they got one.  No matter who is wrong or right I don't like anyone getting ganged up on.Sidebar who is the new hot friend in the background that looks like Demi Levato.  Nora had no reason to call Pia a whore. They were friends at some point that's jacked up and I would have a reaction with my hand in her face too.

So that leaves us to are Nora and Renee friends again, or did they make up?  The answer is no because as of today they are both talking shit on eachother on of course you guessed it Twitter.  Twitter is a huge pusher on creating fake or real drama for reality tv. So for now it's drama we just don't know if it's real or fake.

I Want to lose 10lbs in One Week




So for this next week I'm going to post everything I ate including recipes to lose 10 lbs in one week. I'm not here to lie or be dishonest either. If I slip up and cheat, it will be reflected on what I ate and then we will see how much it effected my results.  Today it starts which means no alcohol for me.  That unfortunately is a hard thing for me to give up. Again, we'll see how long that lasts and if I cheat.  I have social plans on Saturday which I'm guaranteeing I will be drinking.  By the way if you don't think what i'm eating etc. is healthy I don't give a shit.  So starting for today.

9:00 am I woke up and had a Body by Vii Shake (it's only 90 calories and contains more nutrients than just any normal protein shake.

11:00 am I was super lazy and only did 12 minutes of Bodyrock workouts http://www.bodyrock.tv and then I did only 20 minutes of Yoga. 

I drank for the next few hours two 16 ounce cups of green tea. 

1:00 I ate some smoked clams that come in the can like sardines.  I'm trying to stick to as much protein as possible and very low carbs with normal fat intake.  I'm experimenting here. If I don't notice a change in a week I will lower the fat intake drastically.

5:00 I made tuna noodle casserole for my BF and used another can of Starkist tuna to make tuna tartare.  In a bowl I mixed 1 1/2 cans of tuna, lime juice from one half of a lime, a few dabs of soy sauce and Tapatio hot sauce, salt and pepper, minced garlic and minced onion.  I added in one teaspoon of olive oil and mixed it all together.  I could have eaten this on saltine or water crackers but I still wasn't craving carbs so I didn't want to make myself eat them. 

Instead I had a great idea to slice up some tomatoes and spread some Greek dill yogurt dip over each tomato I sliced.  Then I used a spoon and put the tuna tartare on top.  This dinner was healthy and totally filling.  I was fully satisfied and didn't feel the urge to eat anything else.  I drank more green tea for dinner and didn't manage to snack any longer. Above is the picture of the final result. very very good.

Ok so I caved.  My BF called me and asked if we could split a bottle of wine and I said yes. It was one of the big bottles so I had like 4 glasses which is basically a bottle to myself.  Still stayed well within my calories which is only 1003 per day. I'm not happy though about the sugar intake since Chardonnay is high in sugar.  Let's see how this affects my results later in the week. I promise I'll be a good girl the rest of the week. I should add that years ago I lost a ton of weight while still being able to have cocktails a few nights a week.  It's just a give and take game.  If you want to drink you better be super clean with your diet and watch your calories.   In the meantime this is what a diet spoiler looks like below. Or what straight up alcoholics look like.

Does Weight Watcher's Really Work?

I decided to do Weight Watcher's because it's very hard for me to follow low carb/low fat dieting.  I wanted to be able to eat what I wanted but be accountable for my portion size.  I downloaded the free app to my iPhone so I can keep track when I'm on the go.  They give you 26 daily points that you can use and of course you get additional points if you work out.  I try my best not to use my workout points.  I do have a small problem with the extra 49 weekly points you are allowed.  When I use almost all of those extra points I find that I don't lose any weight.  I researched online and found that a lof of other people were finding the same difficulty.  I adjusted my weekly extra points to allow myself only 20 instead of 49.  Some might think that's really low but it's working for me so far! Most days I don't even use my daily 26 so the extra 20 isn't a strain.  I usually use all of the 20 and I'm starting to lose weight.  If you aren't losing with your 49 extra points I would start adjusting it to 40 and then lower it from there if need be.  It's important to be aware of your portion size when logging in your food.  This could make a drastic difference in your point values and if you're inputting it incorrectly you probably aren't losing any weight.  I would love to hear success stories/pitfalls regarding Weight Watcher's since I've just started.  Their website http://www.weightwatchers.com/ also has forums for support with other dieters.  Another great diet that I swear by is Medifast, however it can be costly.  If you have the money and want to try it I guarantee you will lose weight if you stick to it.  I am considering going back on Medifast but I want to give Weight Watcher's a solid shot first.

Just the right place to find a schadenfreude
