The Dish

Look Who's on 'Today'

The Real Wives are hosting the Today Show...will your fave Housewife be there? Find out!

June 12, 2009

Hey Housewives fans, guess WHAT?! Kathie Lee is going on vacation, and Hoda can't very well drink herTequilla drinks at 10AM alone, so the Real Wives are graciously filling in! Oh, to think of  the things they will talk about! Besides booze.

Get out your scorecards, here's the lineup:

Monday 6/15: New York's Bethenny Frankel

Tuesday 6/16: New Jersey's Danielle Staub

Wednesday 6/17: Atlanta's NeNe Leakes

Thursday 6/18: Orange County's Tamra Barney

Be still, my Housewives-loving heart. "I am beyond excited to host the Today Show," Bethenny tells us. "I already know Hoda, so it will be like chatting with a girlfriend. Plus, Kathie Lee doesn't always love a cocktail, so Hoda and I can throw back Skinnygirl Margaritas while we dish! It's always 5pm somewhere!"

Annnd it looks like Bethenny already has the Today Show's fourth-hour format down. Who do you think will do the best job playing Kathie Lee?

congrats jaqueline and family,I know how important this was to you and am so happy God blessed you. I think you are terrific!! I love caroline and thresa,also,I love all of you in the family.I am italian,and very much like you,in defending my friends,and caroline in backing my family...Im the protector and must have justice,regardless of what it is. I think Danille used you.she was smirking,so pleased with herself at the end of the"last supper" when Joe wanted Theresa to come have another drink,after buying,all,including Danille,a round.It was clear after the "table flip"theresa wouldnt want to buy Danielle a drink!! Joe youre too nice,stand by your wife 1st and foremost. And theresa,YOU FLIPPED IT WITH ALL THE CLASS IN THE WORLD!!! I was so glad you picked up on her putting you down...youre the best. I want more youre my favorite show,when you you start a new season?
I write like I talk,too wordy sometimes. love you

LOVE THE HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY BRING IT ON LOVE LOVE LOVE

Danielle, i dont know if you are a christian woman or not but if u have god on your side, there is nothing Dina or Caroline can say that can break you. Caroline is a very strong woman as well as the rest; "but" that does not give her the right to judge. She has NO right to judge anyone. Her opinions have been alittle too strong about you and if I were her I would have never said the things she said but she will have to deal with that with he man upstairs. She (Caroline) chooses to be this evil person towards you, but she has to let it go and forigve. I dont know you Danielle but there are many good people in this world that do have not so good past's but you NEVER let that keep you from moving on and being strong! NEVER let these women who feel like they are sooooooo perfect put you down or beat you down ANYMORE!

I love the Housewives of Atlanta series!! Please bring back Nene Leakes and Dwight. Please don't embarass Kim or offend the fans by having her sing this time around. Also, I love Lisa and Ed Hartwell - their love for one another permeates through the screen. The OC needs some spicing up - what happened to Tammy? Her ex died and all of a sudden she was axed. I love when Vicky screams although I know she can be a bit annoying to others. New York & New Jersey had some real characters, but they did not appeal to me as much as the ATL and OC casts.

Loved all the shows except OC. None of those women were fun to watch except Gretchen. Tamara is sooo jealous of her. Sad to see the insurance agent wife cry about her marriage but not putting anything into it.
NJ was great. Loved all the girls except Danielle. Can't believe anyone would belive that load of crap. I have not seen anyone mention it but when she has Jacqline alone and is trying to get her on her side and pouring her champagne its like scarey mind control. Obviously Jaqcline is good hearted and naive and Danielle is not obviously by the life she has lead.
Ny is great except the model and Ramona. Love Jill.
Atlanta is ok. Not crazy about the Kim.

I would really like to know what he did to earn that title? You're too old to be running around calling someone your boyfriend, that's language for your daughter's. Grow up! Good for you for standing up for yourself, but that all could have been avoided if you wasn't trying to kiss their ass in the first place. My advice to you is what Jacqueline said, be yourself always!

i like the atlanta of housewives are there new show

Where did the book come from? I didn't see Danielle bring it to the table when she came in. I think she shouldn't have brought it with her but then we wouldn't have had the show we did.

Teresa is the best!! I can't believe she held out as long as she did during the dinner party that she was nice enough to have invited Danielle to. I would have lost it the second she took out the book. To me, that was completely disrespectful toward teresa and her husband Joe. you don't let someone buy you dinner and drinks and then pull a stunt like that. Danielle is a complete five year old, the kind of person who cannot handle it when things aren't about her. Pathetic. Trash.

***BRAVO***
How about a 'Mini--Housewives' about us Woman who are going through the 'True-Reality' of losing it all?!!!
Honestly, this show would be way 'less' offensive to the Majority of what 'US' Women/ Mommas are going through in this Recession.
I have Two-Sisters, and Many friends.... Including a Lesbian-Single-Mom (Raising a Son) on her own...*We have More personality and DRAMA then anyone that you have ;Yet to depict!
I love these show for the plane fact that, I really do 'NOT' like these materialistic Women. Yet; There are SO many of 'US' Housewife's that are swept under the rug of Government/Court B.S.! Look at the good you could do for 'OUR-KIDS'?!!!
*ONE-SEASON of 'true' reality of a 'REAL-Housewife' would be amazing!
Please, Get back to me... I have an idea that would ROCK IT!
THX,

You did GREAT and you look GOOD

The Real Housewives of NEW JERSEY are the best yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so intense yesterday during the dinner party. I watched with my mom and sister and we were all glued to the tv!!!!! I don't blame Teresa one bit. Danielle had absolutely no right speaking that way to her at all. I was like woohoo Caroline when she told Danielle, that she was the one who took the book around to the salon. Danielle looked like a fool and didn't know what to say. It was like in your face DIRTY DANIELLE!!!!! The nerve if Danielle to disrespect Teresa who was the host. Then Danielle barely said hello to anyone. Talk about no manners. She brought the book to the table and the minute the tables turn on her, no pun intended (lol) she can't take it. Get over yourself Dirty Danielle, they said what they said and so what. She's the one with the trashy past and she's all about confrontation so there you have it DIRTY DANIELLE!!!!

Also in the words of Dina " I can't stomach" the Atlanta Housewives. Talk about simply APTHETIC!

The word Class has been repeated over and over again by the Jersey housewives. There is only woman that has class on that show and that is Jacqueline!
Carolyn I read her recent blog. It really doesn't matter what supposely happened behind the scenes. To share the book with others outside of your family was petty and tacky.
Dina the dear little sister. You run behind big sisters skirt after you stir the pot. Be a woman and fight your own battles. Whatever your problems were with Danielle you should have dealt with her. Getting your sister and sister-inlaw involved is DRAMA. I would have done the same thing as Danielle and address the book while filming the show. Why not between you and your sister everyone in your community knew.
Theresa please understand I don't love love you! Someone needs to wash your mouth out. Great conversation to have with children in the room. You have the nerve to talk about Danielle's past. You have no room to talk. Thank you for making that clear for us in the finale.

I have never watched any type of reality show until the Real Housewives. New York remains my favorite and Jill and Bethenny seem like two people I would like to know personally. I can't stand Kelly and I hope she won't be back. I'm also not wild about Danielle or Vicki. Tamra comes across so jealous of Gretchen, it's sickning. I have my doubts about Gretchen's motives, too, but she did seem genuinely fond of Jeff. Ramona is jealous of Jill and her business savvy and her treatment of the Van Kleppens is diplorable. I do grant their kids are nightmares. It will be interesting to see how Luann's life will change as a result of her divorce. I would also like to know the dates these shows are shot.

UGH..............Please do not bring back Alanta Housewives!!!! I saw one episode and turned it off. Too much loud bickering!!!!! Very Annoying!!!! In my opionion it's a waste of a time slot if you do.

Is Real Wives of Atlanta coming back on? If so when.

I agree with shelly Danielle get her off she is not even a housewife. And we do need more of the new jersey and the OC they are the best get rid of the others.

Hi all, when does the Housewives of Atlanta come back on for the new season? It is not very clear on the site. Thanks!

I love NeNe and Lisa I cant stand Sheree!! And Kim needs to lose that mess on her head. I hope this show comes back for a second season! The other housewives shows are to boring!

I want to see more of the Ladies from Atlanta. I love them, especially Ms. NeNe! Please put more programming concerning African Americans on this network. I would love to see some more southern girls represented with the lovely peaches, try Houston. I would love to see a gay version of this show, I would be a cast member.

i like this housewive show,but i love housewives of atlanta

This was the abosolute best "Housewives" by far! I got bored with the other shows. These women are outlandish, vivacious, vicious and (hate to burst you're bubble) selfish! Caroline set-up Dina, her OWN SISTER, at the get go by not coming up front to let Danille know she brought out the book! That's not family, that's spiteful! Regardless of who likes who or any one persons past, you don't do that to family. Wonder where Caroline got her lesson on family values, she has none. She is a woman without integrity! I still loved the drama and hope to see a return of these very entertaing women.

Where is Jill Zarin? She is the perfect Today Show host. Can we vote next time?

The skin care line that Danielle uses is "Dr. Hauschka"

Are the New Jersey house wives part of the mafia? Jacqueline is the only one who acts as if she was taughtany manners or respect for others.Why do you think you are so much better tan any one else.I believe that family should be close, but not to the point of there being only one point of view,thats why it is called family,the different views and feelings each person in a family has is what makes it work. It seemed to me as if Caroline is a B----,and so is her sister Dina.What gives you two the right to sit in judgement of Danielle or any one else. Whatever Danielle has done is her business and part of her past.Caroline you are so big on protecting your children, Did you think of the harm you were doing to Danielles Daughters when let it be known about that book.Teresa Im glad you have the home you do you should be proud of it. But your behavior at the dinner was childish.Caroline your comment to Jacqueline about embaracing your parents was uncalled for you embaraced your family and yourself BRAVO the Jacquelines husband he like and adult.Jacqueline keep standing up or what you think is right

To the Housewives of New Jersey: I can't believe that Teresa thinks she is classy. Yes...she sent her own children away from the dinner...but then showed such a bad example for her own nieces and Danielle's children...using filthy language and throwing her table. This is not classy. I don't believe Danielle should have aired her problem at the family dinner....but thank God for Jacqueline and Chris...they were the only people honest and with guts......good for them! Why can't Dina fight her own battles? She blew it when she said she was trying to get back at Danielle....Big sister should let her fight her own battles!!!

Danielle: YUCK. Teresa: GAUDY. Jaclyn: SPINELESS. Caroline: BOLD. Dina: NO NONSENSE.

Thanks, Bravo! The RH series is just what we needed to keep us from thinking about our own problems. I hear Las Vegas and DC are next?? Keep it coming!

It was disturbing to watch a bunch of grown people getting together and attacking Danielle. Good for Danielle for standing her ground. Also, my admiration goes to Jacqueline and Chris for defending Danielle from those viscous people. I'm not impressed with anybody else on that show. What I learned was never to waste my time watching a bunch of self important, over indulgent people that showed no class, again.

| oh yea because daniel is soo innocent... she just wants to fit in.... WHATEVER.. she is fake

I just wanted to say I loved the NJ HW. I just wish there were more episodes. I hate to admit it but I had decided that I didn't like these women when I saw the sneak preview. I was wrong to be so quick to judge. I really liked all the women and there families (with the exception of Danielle). I loved the tight bond of friends and family. I can't wait to see more of these amazingly strong women! Caroline you rock girl!!!
~peace & cheers~

The New York bunch is fun to watch (I love Bethenny and Jill); but the New Jersey gals are my favorite... let's all be honest with ourselves: Danielle is a self-admitted drama glutton. (We all heard her say it this morning on 'Today'. If I hear anybody say "...it happened 25 years ago!" again, I'm gonna puke! She is soooo diggin' this shit. I LOVE Caroline, Dina and Teresa--so freakin' smart, they make me laugh each week. Word to Danielle: You are way outta your league, hon.

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY ROCKS!
Bravo, keep it coming lol
This is my guilty pleasure and my gf got me hooked on to it. shh Dont tell her!
I saw the finale and love jaqueline and danielle!
they are the best.

Danielle
Tone down the abrasive attitude/personaslity a bit. It's a defense mechanism and you don't need it. You are a good person, now just believe it!! You are a great mother! Good job hosting. Good luck to you. Stay positive and rise above it all!!

The NJ gals are way over the top. Danielle was an invited guest at a dinner party and she had to make it all about her. I'm sure the book was probably mostly fact. I love Terresa - she really doesn't have a bad side to her. Caroline is the most "real" and I love Dina because she really does care about her daughter. Jacquline should have keep her mouth shut - blood is thicker than water. Danielle is a user and abuser of her "friends". She's scary! I think she actually made a threat on National TV. Maybe they should get a restraining order against Danielle! Too much drama from her.

Here is my score card:
RHOC - Dumb
RHNJ - Dumber
Real Housewives of Atlanta - Dumbist
New York - Can't get enough

Bethenney was funny in the beginning, we are so over her. I am tired of her remarks. Why does she think she should be heard all the time. She is very loud and annoying now. What does she want everything to have her name on it? I would not buy anything that has any of the housewives from any city behind it. I am glad the countess lost her status. The title went to her head.

Drama...drama...drama....gotta love it! They all annoy the hell outta me too, but I can't help but watch the immaturity of it all~! HA!

Wow! The season finale of RHW of NJ was great! Danielle has some nerve bringing the book to Teresa's dinner party and then wanted to play the victim. I don't feel sorry for her in the least! Danielle needs to focus more on her children instead of trying to find a rich man to marry. The fact that she exposes her children to all of the men in her life and that she allowed them to stay in the room with everyone yelling equals BAD mothering in my book. Jacqueline should have never got into the middle of the arguement, let alone be on Danielle's side. You don't throw your family under the bus! Bad move Jacqueline!

Sheesh. My view of the Jersey HW have changed/evolved as the season progressed.
Tonight showed that Caroline is diabolical. Clearly was a plump bully chick when in high school, and has been the bitch ever since. She waited for Danielle to say something to make it seem Dina was the victim, the whole time that smug cow knew she did it and had never planned to fess up.
Teresa, you're no lady. A good woman would not mouth off like that. Give up the booze.

Frankly,being fromTexas,you are missing the boat not having Dallas or Houston,San Antonio or Austin wives on(esp.Dallas~we can't stand them, but they eat their young, so good TV).That said,KEEP IT UP!!! We say "Bravo" to Bravo TV~great programming!!Please keep the NY dynamics,Atlanta,NJ,but the OC bunch is getting a tad bor-ing with their"hot" evaluations and extensive plastic surgery(do they really think they look normal??we all can afford that stuff)?Some real sicko potential there..besides"Coto" and gated communities are SO last Century!As is a booming Career~we all can manage that!Get a grip, ladies, think like the NY ladies, and give to Charities!!!Disgusting examples of excess and uncaring of our less fortunate citizens.Jeanne,no more Playboy stuff, too, grow up, already, and get a life.You are a sweetie, so believe in yourself, you deserve better!

I just finished watching the NJ Housewives and all I have to say is Teressa you say you have class....I think you need to take some ettiquit classes. What type of role model are you for your children? Leave Danielle alone!!!

Why Danielle? Any of the other Jersey housewives would've been better than Danielle.

What an episode. Do i think they all acted like some fools hell yeah!! but guess what Carolyn said it best her family is thick as thieves and she will protect them. Danielle had no right to bring that book to the restaurant. OMG the kids were there. Theresa should have slapped the u know what of her for starting that there. Get over stuff that happened 25 yrs ago both Danielle and Dina(although i am in Dina's corner) lol Good show bring them back

suebell39

Just when the show is getting so great, the season ends! Not fair. Please bring the NJ Real Housewives back next season. We want more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This show rocks. I love Caroline. She is the female "Michael Corleone"!!

I am watching the season finale. Danielle I am impressed at what you did. If I am there I would really feel for you not having someone to defend you. But anyway, Jacqueline, thanks for making the jersey wife a two-faced reality show. I think people liked you the most. Dina and Caroline you are both LIARS. Do you have real friends? I think Caroline, people will be afraid to befriend you because you dig the grave and take out the smell from it. And also you are like the sopranos, "IF you mess with me, you mess with the whole family.

I think these women have too much time on their hands. They gossip as if they are in high school. It's not classy at all. They all need to attend etiquette classes. It shows a lack of education on their part.

Real Housewives of New Jersey is my favorite so far, and I've seen every episode of every Real Housewives. Give us more please!!!

The skincare line is by Dr. Hauschka.

Is the housewives atlanta coming back I love the show and the hw of new nj is very good but the one with two girls nj and with a new men all the time go fine your own money and stop like for a man with money.

Danielle's skin care line was Dr Hauschka Skin Care
