Teresa Giudice, who many people remember because she flipped a table on Danielle Staub in the season finale of The Real Housewives of NJ had a baby girl. Her and her husband Joe have three daughters- Gia, Melania, and Gabriela, now they have a fourth daughter named Audriana. I want to wish Teresa and Joe the best and welcome little Audriana Giudice to the world!

This week on our favorite show, Flipping Out OCD designer/ house flipper Jeff had food poisoning.This left Jenni Pulos in charge. I liked how in charge Jenni was. You can see that she does understand what she is talking about. I do think that the Stradella property owner wanted to let Jeff pay for everything and then pay whenever she wanted.  I applaud Jeff for telling Jenni to shut down the job site when his workers are not getting paid. You need to make sure that your workers can provide for their families. I think that the episode was really great.

This week on the Rachel Zoe Project Rachel was up in arms about the tabloid rumors about her. She went to a party and changed at least a dozen times because of the way that the dress showed her front or spine. We also saw her host a party and Nicole Richie showed up and talked to her after 2 years of not speaking to each to her. I thought the episode was good and I thought that Rachel looked great in her pictures for Marie Claire Magazine.

Yesterday, I watched the newest episode of the reality tv show 18 Kids and Counting. It was James’ eighth birthday as well as Deanna Jordan’s birthday who is Jim Bob’s older sister. The one thing that I do not like about the Duggars is that they say that they accept Deanna even though she had a child out of wedlock. Don’t you think that J.L and his wife and the other Duggars did not like that Jim Bob and Michelle have 18 almost 19 kids? People who are overly religous think that their non religious family members should be grateful that they accept their lifestyle choices which I think is unfair. I like the Duggars but they should not have had Deanna bring up her particular life style chocies to defend herself or how she lives. I am glad that James got to go bowling and get a new bike and helmet. He seemed very happy and got to spend some time alone with Jim Bob which was very cute.

Yesterday, on Bravo we watched a new episode of the Rachel Zoe Project. We saw Rachel try to perfect the dress for Anne Hathaway and go shopping for movie star Liv Tyler. I liked some of the pieces that Rachel selected for Liv but I have to say they are all similar to the clothes that I see at regular retail stores around my local community. I would think that the pieces even though simplistic would be unique since they are for a celebrity. I love Rodger, he is the voice of reason at camp Zoe. I do wonder though if Rachel will ever have a baby since she is almost 38 years old now. I liked the episode. Anne looked great in her gown.

Last week on Flipping Out, Rachel finally decided to quit working for her friend Jeff Lewis. I have to say I knew from the start that she would not mesh well there. She has known Jeff for over a decade and you can tell that she had enough. She was late twice in a row but no one asked her if maybe she had personal issues that she was going through. I like this season but I hope that the Jeff/ Ryan blowup is not too severe.

Wow, I was never surprised that the Gosselins were going to get divorced. Many of us saw it coming a mile away when we watched Jon and Kate Plus 8. I mean Jon seemed like he could not take any more love “taps” and being yelled at all the time. Jon has completely changed since we first met him on the first TLC special. He now parties and spends tons of money and even has a 24 year old girlfriend. This is the classic example of why reality tv can completely change your life in a quick minute.

Michelle Duggar of the show 18 Kids and Counting is expecting her 19th child with her husband Jim Bob. I am always amazed whenever the Duggars announce a new arrival for me, I am amazed at how fast she can have a baby and then become pregnant again. I would think that after40 your fertility starts to diminish a lot. When Michelle was pregnant with Jordyn she talked alot about thinking that her child bearing years were almost behind her. Her son Josh is expecting a daughter next month also. I am happy for the Duggars, it seems like they enjoy their family life and love children a lot.

As a kid, I grew up in NH and constantly watched the Kennedys on television. I remember the constant news coverage when JFK Jr’s plane went down killing him, his wife, and his sister in law. This family was part of everyone’s lives for so many years. Ted Kennedy may have been rich but to all of us he was wealthy in his humanity, kindness, and compassion. He did a lot of great things for his state, family, and country. Hopefully, we can all put aside our political affiliations and salute Edward Moore Kennedy the man. He cared about our country so much and he and his family sacrificed so much for us all. Rest In Peace Edward M. Kennedy, you are with your other brothers and sisters now and are singing show tunes with the angels in Heaven.

Flipping out has come back to Bravo and I have to say I have missed Jeff Lewis and his crew so very much. I love his new intern Trace, his excuse about being late due to playing online checkers before he can get out of bed was priceless. He is so Jeff like. I feel bad for Jenni’s dating woes. I like that Jeff is living at Valley Oak, it suits him. I think that Rachel will not last long as an assistant though. I think that this season is great so far.
