Well I've finally finished Andy Cohen's book Most Talkative and it gets two snaps up in a circle from me. Not only was it in depth about some of the Housewife of (insert your favorite franchise here) drama but gave lots of behind the scenes on the man himself! From a little boy being raised in St. Louis we learn about his journey in journalism. I really had no idea he had such an extensive journalism background. Like that he really knows Mike Wallace or wait is that Dan Rather? Whatever that's pretty major! One of the funniest things is his infatuation with Susan Lucci - really no surprise but I'll have to say Andy it's a bit unhealthy honey. She's like OLD and yeah just move on!
Anywhoo if you're looking for an end of the summer beach read this is the one. Price is great when you download it your iPad or favorite e-Reader or hold up....Barnes and Noble has it for $1.99 in hardcover. Ouchhhh (said in my Andy Cohen voice).
If you've read it let me know what you thought? Was I the only one that took 3 months to read it? I want to know. Drop me a line below.
She is rich…as in very rich biotch!
Looks like NeNe wasn’t lying
when she told then fellow cast-mate Sheree Whitfield during Season 4 of RHOA that
she was cashing Trump size checks. As in Donald Trump!
Bloop!
It has been reported that BRAVO has ordered Season 6 of the popular
RHOA earlier this month and the network was smart enough to offer NeNe (Ms.
Leakes if you’re nasty) a supersized paycheck in the amount of $1 million
dollars, for at least another year. A
source told Radar Online, “NeNe is the one viewers watch. She knows that, BRAVO knows that and that is
why they gave her a raise.” Now we all
know that NeNe doesn’t need to come back on RHOA thanks to her regular spots on
Glee and The New Normal (Ryan Murphy can you hook a Diva up to???) she’s well
aware that Housewives is her “bread and butter”. So for all you NeNe haters and naysayers cash
that! Bloop!
Reality Recap
Part one of the Real Housewives reunion aired this past Sunday and all
I have is two words for you Kenya
Moore.
During the first part of the three part reunion series we see Kenya More (Miss America ooops U.S.A) throw
some major shade towards Phaedra Parks
and what started out as a battle over who had the best bootie has now grown
into a full-fledged war.
Kenya’s latest claim – that Phaedra was totally irrelevant prior to the
former Miss USA joining the Housewives cast this season. In other words what
Kenya was saying is that the only reason people know who Phaedra is now is
because of the ongoing feud between her and the former Miss USA.
Hummmmm, okay Kenya, whatever!
Even host Andy Cohn raised an eyebrow at Keny’s
comment, pointing out that people have been talking about Ms. Donkey Booty for
a while now.
So tell us do you agree Andy that Phaedra made herself known long
before Ms. Gone with the Wind Fabulous joined the cast. Or as our beloved Evelyn Lozada from Basketball Wives would
say was she a “non-mother f#$!^n factor” until Kenya came along?
Don’t forget to tune in for the RHOA Reunion
part 2 Sunday, April 14th at 8/7c on BRAVO. Check your local listing for times and
channel information.
Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect to see next…

we had the pleasure of chatting with author Sherry Burton Ways about her new book Feel
Good Spaces and how you can
create a space that feeds your body, mind and spirit. Sherry explained what a “feel good space”
was, how to design a space that touches the five senses and the importance of
selecting the right color(s) in your space.

Star Jones is trying to throw talk show host Anderson Cooper under the bus. She's claiming he only "came out" for ratings? Hmm...come on now Star would we really know who you were if you hadn't been chosen to be on The View and exploit your marriage to Al Reynolds. How many freebies did you get for that lil shindig? I ain't mad but pot you need to stop calling the kettle black or gay. Whatever, just keep it moving. Luckily you are still somewhat relavant!
A glowing Amber Rose was out and about shopping this week sporting that WizBump. I'm still not understanding it but HEY whatever makes you happy Mama. Love that dress and Chanel sandal. She's dressing better these days - please don't make me eat these words next week.
Random: BTW Anderson I can't decide who is the cutest between you and Andy...oh a DIVA can dream.
WOWSERS of the Week:
Poor Sheree was mistaken for a drag queen again. Welp you look at this pic and be the judge
Apparently TV Guide mistook her picture for that of recently deceased Drag Queen Sahara Davenport. Sahara was a contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race and died this week at a very young age, reasons for the death have not been disclosed. I hate to have to giggle at this part but Sheree tweeted TV Guide, expressed her condolences and then asked that her photo be removed from the site. Do-Do-Do! Our buddy in our head Andy Cohen then tweeted this:
And your Dirty Martini has been served. Come back next week for ever more giggles!
After a much needed break, Erika (aka Event Diva) and Robin (aka Style Diva) are back with a NEW co-host Chelsea for a new season of Cocktails and Conversations! We've got a new show format, hot new topics to talk about and LOTS of great cocktails to try. We hope you will join us every Saturday at 8 AM est as we chat it up Diva style!
Our newest Diva Chelsea needs a Diva name of her own and we would like you to help her come up with one. Leave a comment on this post with your suggestions on what her name should be. We'll announce some of the suggestions on our next show as well as tell you our top 3 favorites. Then we will vote. Can't wait to see what some of the suggestions are!
Cocktail for the Week
Robin (aka Style Diva) tried this drink created by our favorite reality show personality Bethenny Frankel from Bravo's Real Housewives of New York, Bethenny Getting Married? and now Bethenny Ever After. Now Robin loved this drink so much (only 100 calories/serving) that she drank the whole bottle. I guess so much for the low calorie drinking that night! LOL! To Robin's defense she swears she didn't drink the whole bottle in one sitting (yea right!). LOL! Check out the Skinnygirl Margarita website to find out more about Robin's new favorite drink and where you can purchase it.
#Hotness
Today on the show, Robin introduced our new segment #Hotness. During this portion of the show we will share with you what we think is hot right now.
So what made the cut in this week's #Hotness list:
Robin found this great new website where you can sign up (for free of course!) and post a picture of yourself in an outfit and get people to vote on if they like it or not. How many times have you found yourself shopping by yourself, you find what you think is the perfect outfit...you go in the dressing room to try it on and you need a second opinion. But wait you're by yourself! What do you do? With Fashism, you can take a picture of yourself and upload it to the site and have people vote...that's what you do!
Robin is going to try out this new site and give us her feedback (Chelsea and I are too scared to do it right now). So make sure you check the blog for her pix's and posts on this new website. Check out Fashism and let us know what you think. Make sure you post your comments below.
We also added Bravo's own Andy Cohen on the list for this week. Without him we wouldn't have the Real Housewives franchise that we all love so much...plus we think he's super HOT ! Andy, if you're reading this...we're available if you're looking to develop a new show...we've got lots of GREAT ideas....call me boo!
We Want To Hear From You!
Do you have a good topic for an upcoming show you'd like to suggest?
Do you have a product/service that you would like to introduce?
