Alexis Bellino Buying Followers on Twitter


Tamra made an accusation on Twitter yesterday that is not only shocking but makes sense.  Everyone knows that having a ton of Twitter followers not only helps your brand but it can extend your 15 minutes of fame. Bravo for one I believe pays attention to these numbers when it comes down to making a decision on whether or not to keep a reality star on their show.  So yesterday Tamra tweeted that Alexis admitted to Peggy and Micah that she buys her Twitter followers.  So what does that mean?  I guess there is a software out there for $50 that adds thousands of new followers to your account overnight.  Here is what Micah Tanous tweeted

"I just answered a call from the company that is SELLING all the current #RHOC cast their twitter followers.  What a f-ing joke! Fake likes!? Current cast members just got pissed I tweeted that....Too funny. Oh god. what do you think these $2500 PR agents that promise "social media marketing" are doing.  The software only costs $50!"

Twittercounter.com revealed the list for August and notice the jump in Alexis's followers.  Something seems fishy don't it?

Aug 7, 2012 307,371 followers
Aug 9, 2012 338,121 (look at that increase in just two days!!)

This is obviously Alexis's desperate attempt to stay on a reality television show because she has nothing else going on.

Ramona Singer Intimidated by Heather

Ramona and Heather's feud continues on the screen and in Twitterland. However, if you follow their tweets while the live show is airing you might notice some cryptic messages between the two.  After talking smack to eachother back and forth, Heather ended her tweet to Ramona with a wink ;-).  Then Ramona tweeted her back with this xO.  Isn't xo hugs and kisses?  So what is it ladies?  Are you twitter bashing just for bigger ratings?  On to tonight's episode.  Heather's reaction when she sees Ramona was pretty hilarious.  However, I agree with Ramona Heather's smile is getting annoying and it is a little pretentious.  I think it was nice of Heather to take her time out of her busy schedule to help Sonja.  Was it not obvious that Ramona and Heather were going to argue over every little miniscule detail.  Sonja did approve the logo at the end of the Heather initial meeting.  It seemed like she did speak with Ramona which is why I'm thinking she brought her to the meeting in the first place as back up.  I like Ramona at times but I find it hard to believe she is such a successful businesswoman because she seems extremely unprofessional.  I think Ramona is very jealous and intimidated by Heather and her success. It seemed like Sonja and Ramona purposely called this meeting with Heather to make her look like a joke.  That'll teach Heather not to help anyone out and not charge by the hour for her time.

What do you know, Ramona hosts a party and doesn't invite Heather?  WOW Ramona really called out Aviva but it's true she does talk about her ex Harry a lot.  If I was her husband I would have some concerns.  Enough is enough.  Here comes Indian gate.  Luann is the poster child for poise and proper behavior and she starts berading Native Americans.  Her boyfriend by the way I find very obnoxious. He looks like Balki from Perfect Strangers.  He starts talking and I have to focus and concentrate because I can't understand him.  Luann runs like a chicken when Mario confronts Jacques which by the way kudos to Mario.  Jacques is such a liar, he completely 100% tried to trick and humiliate Ramona.  So now Aviva is dropping her son off to Harry and I don't know about you but I could see a twinkle in her eyes when she sees him.  Have you all seen this Harry character?  Am I missing something?  He looks like a raging alcoholic who's losing his hair and is 4 feet tall.  I think people who are in their 40's and want to have a baby should do what they want.  Why do I feel like it's not right for Luann?  I feel like she might be doing it for all the wrong reasons.  She just finished raising kids now is the time to live.  Who am I to judge?  HAHAHAHAHAHH just kidding.  The Luann goes on to admit she wants to have a baby to keep Jacques around.  Yeah because that's a great reason to bring a child in this world.  She won't marry him though I'm sure because then she will lose her title as the Countess and to her that's more important than a stupid baby. 

For the love of God if I was Heather I would quit too.  This is just getting ridiculous. Heather looks very dorky chic with glasses, I'm really feeling it.  Leave it to Sonja to come late to her own photo shoot.  I give Heather a lot of respect for bringing up the Ramona issue.  It was disrespectful and insulting.  I'm surprised that Sonja doesn't understand where Heather is coming from.  Sonja is making herself look like a cheapass.  She doesn't want Heather to quit because she knows she will lose the free expertise and representation.  The whole Ramona meeting really backfired on her ass. 

Luann is now hosting a party to donate coates for the homeless.  Even in dire straits I can't picture the homeless walking around NYC wearing furs.......then again in NYC maybe I can.  I wish Luann and Ramona would bury the hatchet.  Their tit for tat is so tired and highschool.  Ramona just said hold the fifth LOL.  She means plead the fifth. Oh Ramona.......you are so intelligent it's no wonder you're so successful.  How tacky of Luann to bring her Life & Style magazine to the party.  Especially since that magazine slaps any low class Housewive on their cover.  Sonja is so drunk and is totally not making sense but it's hilarious.  It got insanely awkward once she started crying. Did you notice that Ramona and Heather were sitting "thisclose" to each other at the table?  If they were such arch enemies why would they squeeze next to each other?  It's obvious the producers pitted these two against each other in the beginning, gave them a story line and told them to run with it.  I'm on to you Andy Cohen and the Bravo Network.  The best part of her holiday party was the band and Jingle Bells.  I can't believe they sang "I want to fuck you in the ass."  That is a classic lyric that goes well for any holiday party.

Lose The Baby Weight in Two Months

Shayne Lamas is the daughter of Lorenzo Lamas and wife of Nik Richie who created thedirty.com.  Before she was pregnant she had a hot bod but surprisingly after her body was even more amazing. Shayne shared her diet secrets on her blog http://www.lamasrichie.com and I found it to be extremely helpful.  Here is just a sample of what she eats to get that amazing body she currently rocks.

Breakfast:  Ezekiel cereal (you can find at a health food store) or organic oatmeal.  I personally like Trader Joe's Flax oatmeal.  It has a maple flavor and is super yummy.  This oatmeal is also great if your pregnant because it has the extra folic nutrients expectant mothers need. 

Snack:  Banana or apple

Lunch:  Salad with chicken, turkey or fish.  Brown rice just 1/2 cup.  Lots of greens including spinach and a small glass of fruit juice.  Try mixing the fruit juice with one part juice one part water.

Snack 2:  Almonds, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds

Dinner:  One glass of red wine.  Chicken, fish or turkey.  Lots of greens especially spinach.

Shayne even admits that the diet seems boring but it gave her the speediest results and is proven to work.  As far as supplements go she takes a Cellan pill right when she wakes up in the morning.  She also takes fish oil pills which are really great for digestion as well as your heart.

So what is Cellan?  http://www.cellean.com/ The website touts you can lose 28 lbs in 10 weeks. It helps elliminate toxins from your body faster and helps lower cholesterol. It contains loads of vitamins but I'm a little skeptical as to how well it actually works.  I also don't know if Shayne was paid to endorse the product.  You can sign up for a free trial bottle which I did.  I will let you know what I think.  Be careful because if you don't cancel within 16 days of the trial period they will charge your card $82.95 a month.

The Best Diet for Pregnancy

Since finding out I'm pregnant again I've been determined to find a safe and healthy way of eating for a normal pregnancy. I had a miscarriage 4 months ago so I'm trying to be as safe as possible.  I know many women still drank a cup of coffee a day and most doctor's say that's ok.  However, I stopped it completely just as a precaution.  Before I found out I was eating mostly vegan and raw.  I started to keep track of my food intake and realized I just wasn't getting in enough protein.  I was having to supplement a lot of protein shakes.  Now I still want to eat healthy but not eating meat just isn't an option for me. 

According to WebMD this is the staple you should follow:

  • Eat a variety of foods to get all the nutrients you need. Recommended daily servings include 6-11 servings of breads and grains, two to four servings of fruit, four or more servings of vegetables, four servings of dairy products, and three servings of protein sources (meat, poultry, fish, eggs or nuts). Use fats and sweets sparingly.
  • Choose foods high in fiber that are enriched such as whole-grain breads, cereals, pasta, rice, fruits, and vegetables.
  • Make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your daily diet while pregnant. You should take a prenatal vitamin supplement to make sure you are consistently getting enough vitamins and minerals every day. Your doctor can recommend an over-the-counter brand or prescribe a prenatal vitamin for you.
  • Eat and drink at least four servings of dairy products and calcium-rich foods a day to help ensure that you are getting 1000-1300 mg of calcium in your daily diet during pregnancy.
  • Eat at least three servings of iron-rich foods per day to ensure you are getting 27 mg of iron daily.
  • Choose at least one good source of vitamin C every day, such as oranges, grapefruits, strawberries, honeydew, papaya, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, green peppers, tomatoes, and mustard greens. Pregnant women need 70 mg of vitamin C a day.
  • Choose at least one good source of folic acid every day, like dark green leafy vegetables, veal, and legumes (lima beans, black beans, black-eyed peas and chickpeas). Every pregnant woman needs at least 0.4 mg of folic acid per day to help prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida.
  • Choose at least one source of vitamin A every other day. Sources of vitamin A include carrots, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, spinach, water squash, turnip greens, beet greens, apricots, and cantaloupe. Know that excessive vitamin A intake (>10,000 IU/day) may be associated with fetal malformations.
My concern at first was that I was getting too much vitamin A because I love spinach and turnip greens.  Now I will make sure to only eat them every other day.  Eating beans for my folic acid will not be a problem.  I'm a huge black bean, garbanzo bean, kidney bean and pinto bean lover.  I go to the doctor August 15th for my first appointment. 

There is no evidence that low carbohydrate diets are a concern to the fetus.  To keep my weight in check but healthy for my baby I will still eat carbs but I will limit them.  My goal is to take in more protein per day to help the baby grow.

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!!
