Out of Order

I'm not going to blog about Watch What Happens Live every week, but Sunday's episode with Perez Hilton and Teresa Giudice warrants a blog.

Here's why:

Teresa said Joe Giudice was talking to his driver on the phone in the Napa episode where he called her a "bitch" and another disgusting word I won't repeat. Then she said he was talking to a worker. Oh my God. Can we say "DENIAL"??? Let's be real. He was NOT talking to his driver or a worker or anyone work-related. That was clearly a conversation with a woman. His tone, his choice of words, all of it points to the fact that it was a woman on the other end of that phone call. And I have a big problem with her stating that it was anyone other than a woman because the fact is - she has no idea who it was. None of us do. Joe Giudice is not going to tell her the truth, so she shouldn't have said anything about it. Now, she looks terribly dumb for believing her husband A) couldn't remember calling her those names and B) somehow remembers exactly who he was talking to at the time. Come the f*ck on. And, to top it off, she says he "made up for it" with diamonds. Barf. Teresa, why must you infuriate me so???

I was glad to see Perez apologize to Sarah Jessica Parker as requested by Andy because he was really brutal with her back in the day. I think Perez does see where he was wrong in the past, and he has changed his website a lot. It is still gossip, but not nearly as mean-spirited as before. I like that Andy had him on and they were able to have a good conversation even though they don't see eye to eye on everything. See, this is how adults behave.

Back to Teresa. She was slamming Lauren and Al Manzo for having lap band surgery while congratulating Perez on losing weight naturally. Period. It was a "joke", but again, it was clearly a dig at people that she's no longer friends with. WHY??? Why even go there??? Why not just congratulate Perez and leave it at that? This is exactly why people can't stand Teresa. The horse is dead and buried and she digs it up and beats it again. Get over the Manzos, Teresa. Stop talking about them and then pretending you didn't - we've all been to high school. This kind of bullsh*t just shows that you're still not 100% over the Manzos and you will continue to slam them every chance you get. Not very mature, huh?

The After Show was not great, but if you want to check it out, here you go.

And a quick note about the Real Housewives of New Jersey: Bravo, WTF??? How dare you show these shows out of order and purposely give the audience a skewed view of how all of these events unfolded??? How are we supposed to have a clear picture of the cast when you deliberately air portions of footage that happened out of sequence? This is not fair to your cast or your audience. We deserve to see things as they truly happened, not in the order that best serves your "storylines". This is crazy. And if you continue to shoot/film/air the show like you did this season, I cannot and will not watch.

Hear What Happened

I'm still so excited about calling in and getting through to talk to Andy Cohen and Sarah Jessica Parker on the Watch What Happens Live After Show last night. It was surprisingly simple. Here's how it went.

I live on the west coast, and the show tapes live at 11 pm Eastern time. So I knew I had to call right at 8 pm my time. Now, I tried to call in on Sunday night, but I didn't get through because I waited until after 8 pm. This time I called exactly at 8, and it worked.

When you call the first thing you hear is a disclaimer, so you have to press 1 to accept all the rules and regulations. Then the line rings until someone from Watch What Happens Live picks up. A very nice lady asked me what my question was going to be, and I told her. I was going to ask SJP what her favorite Housewives catchphrase of all time was (ex: Who's gonna check me, boo?, Plonk!, Bra-er, Turtle time, Kellamity, etc). The very nice lady said they already had a question lined up that was similar, and then asked if I would mind asking how the trip to Morocco on the Housewives of New York compared to the trip on Sex and The City 2. I, of course, said yes, since I really just wanted to ask her anything. I'm a huge fan. And I also wanted to tell Andy how much I love him.

So the very nice lady put me on hold. I was on hold for about 20 minutes - sidenote: they make you listen to some college gameshow which is kind of annoying but not terrible - and I started to worry that I wouldn't make it on the live broadcast. Sure enough, the very nice lady gets back on the line and asks if it's ok if I'm the first caller on the after show. Of course! I just want to talk to these two lovely people! And I love the after show, so I really didn't mind. I'm put on hold again.

Finally, the very nice lady comes back on and says that she will put me on with Andy and Sarah and tells me what to say again and says to be very animated and excited. She asks me to count to ten out loud and then says to listen for Andy to ask my name and location. I can hear the after show music, I can hear Andy and Sarah, and my heart is pounding. I try to keep calm and remember what I'm supposed to say. I also try to come up with something witty to throw out there to see if Andy's in a playful mood or not.

Andy finally says those famous words, "What's your name and where are you calling from?" And I say ... well, just watch for yourself here!

Now, here's what I was thinking as it was happening. I really wanted to make Andy laugh but I tripped over the question at first and worried I lost him. I did get a second question in as well as a Luann comment about "Yahabibi". It really happened so fast, I really can't remember it all. It really is a blur. I know that sounds corny, but it's true. And Sarah was so amazingly sweet. Oh and Andy said he loved me! LOL

So that was the experience, let me know if you have any questions about it. I'll definitely be calling in again. Maybe Andy will remember me? What do you think? Tweet me!
