Real Close

Danielle talks about her breast augmentation and the release of her duet with Lori Michaels.

Jun 22, 2010

 

Hello Everyone,

Episode 8 and still going strong!

I will hold true to what I mentioned in my last blog,  I’m not staying in the past, I just need to revisit it for a moment. Let me take a moment to quote what Dina has said in the past, or how about you just read it for yourself...

http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2010/06/15/dina-manzo-leaving-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/

I would like to thank Dr. Kassir for assisting and taking me to Dr. Michael Fiorillo to help not only make me feel better about my self image, but to remove the implants that have been causing me years of pain. I cannot express strongly enough to those who are not aware of what can go seriously wrong in a breast augmentation, and how painful it truly can be. Especially when people make fun of a deformity caused by nature, cancer, or in my case, an encapsulation as severe as mine to please be mindful we all have feelings. I in no way want anyone to feel sorry for me. I put this out there because it’s real and to help others that may need me to be strong enough to do so.

I would highly recommend that if you are seeking an augmentation of any form, please get many opinions beforehand. And again, I’m extremely happy and grateful with the results of my fourth, and I do hope final corrective breast surgery. For more information go to:

Tune in for Watch What Happens Live as I will be performing my duet "Real Close" for the first time anywhere. This is not pre-recorded. This is raw, and real just like me. Much love to Lori Michaels for not only writing but performing this song with me, recording, and "staying" real close. Thank you to Andy Cohen for giving me this opportunity to shed a little light on another side of me.

Danielle, You looked great last night and I LOVE the song! Many blessings to you and your daughters!

Danielle, You looked great last night and I LOVE the song! Many blessings to you and your daughters!

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make with the Dina quote. She left the show becuase you are nuts and she doesn't want to expose her family to you anymore. No news there Danielle. As for the rest of your blog all i heard was as Kelly Binsimone would say is "white noise" blah blah blah.

Danielle, Please know that I truly don't like saying negative things, but I truly think that you are not a changed woman. After watching you on Watch What Happens Live last night, you seem like you hold grudges and haven't changed. I sincerely hope that one day you wake up and realize this. I know there is hope Danielle. There is hope for everyone and I wish you well. I wish your children well and I hope you can stop being so negative.

I am not your biggest fan. But I have to say I was surprised at your duet on Watch what happens, you blew me away. To date I have to say that out of all the housewives on bravo who are going down the path of singing you have taken the crown. Absolutely the best performance last night. My advice to you is use this new found gift to focus your energy on, I think you are not a bad person but a misguided one. Use your brain and channel your energy on you not on trying to prove people wrong.

Good Luck

You have a beautiful voice Danielle! Keep going!

You have SUCH deep-rooted anger and bitterness. You won't be able to move on until you really get to the bottom of that.

Pleasantly surprised by last nights performance on Live with Andy Cohen!!!

Wow! for the first time I have read your blog and it is DRAMA FREE!!!! SET THE PRECEDENT MS. D!

I didn't not like your song at all. I really enjoy watching Andy Cohen's show. But last night was so embarrassing because there was nothing positive about it for you. The one thing that was really annoying coming from you was your attitude towards the questions or statements from the viewers. You could have at least been a little more fake about your reactions. As for you trying to come off as if you really spiritual, The love and life crap is getting old. " Just Sayin"

I love how you say you're not staying in the past and turning over a new leaf, yet you take a shot at Ashley and Jacqueline in the last paragraph of your blog with your daughters and them staying in 'the same parochial schools that they have been attending all of these years'. You certainly talk a good game though it's just too bad you can never follow through.

Seriously cannot stand you - however, I gotta give you props. You can sing quite well. I was very surprised.

Wish you would grow up, though - but that's another story!

Am I missing something? Last night Watch What Happens Live, you said the "real" reason Dina left was not because of you...but the link clearly says “I would say 99.9 percent is because of Danielle,” Dina tells Us Weekly. “But the other .1 percent was drama created by her.” So what are you trying to say?

I am surprised to be saying that I really liked the song AND you have a pretty voice. Good for you for staying away from Manzo drama (for the most part). Stay that way....those ladies have nothing for TV if you are not in it (except maybe ham throwing contests...yawn)

I still think you have some crazy going on, but damn, you can sing!

I do not like YOU I do not enjoy watching you... but I LOVED YOUR SONG I LOVED LISTENING TO YOU SING.

your blogs are lame now!!

I feel like she looks different from the last show. Did she do more than just her breast aug?

So, you claimed that Dina didn't leave the show because of you, there was another reason. YET you provided a link to an article which backs up Dina's story? Huh? You are about 15 sandwitches short of a picnic.

On the show last night the 'Wayne Surgical Center" looked like an old strip mall with cardboard taped behind the windows and some letters burned out on the sign. Is this actually where you went for surgery? I don't think a 'well known expert' surgeon would be working here. You wanted to make clear that this surgery was 'necessary'; but you need to point out that #1 (and maybe #2 and #3) were not. If you are warning people of the dangers - the smartest thing is NO augmentation.

I have to say I dislike you in every way someone can... but you song was good and maybe this will be a out let for you so you can stop with the crazyness, drama, and LIES girl! and come on are your Lesiban now b/c you cant get men with money and you try women? stay true to yourself and lets think about you kids and the crap they have to put up with bc you are their mother. they seem like great girls I would be sad if someone didnt like them bc of you!. maybe you should think about moving...

Hey Danielle I have to say that In my opinion you have the best voice If somebody needs to record some music that would be you. Congrats great voice.

So I don't get the link you posted... I don't see where anything that Dina says there is wrong or untrue. I thought she made it pretty clear when she left the show it's because she no longer wanted to have to deal with you and the drama you caused. You are a very confusing person... are you and Kelly from new york like best friends or something???

Of all the singing housewives, you are the only one with a wonderful voice. Focus on your singing and please, please, please get over the Manzo situation. It makes you look ridiculous.

What's with the link re: Dina? Was there a point to it? Seriously, the footage of you at the fashion show once again shows how desperately you need help. GET HELP!

Danielle - while I may not be your biggest fan and do find you to be somewhat dangerous... you do have a very beautiful voice! I heard you on Watch What Happens with Andy Cohen... truley amazing! I do beleive you are the Housewife with the best voice!!! Keep singing and find peace in all that you do.

A fan of all the Housewives - good and not so.... :)

Danielle, though I am not a true fan of yours, I have to tell you how beautiful your duet was. The song is lovely and your performance was also.

I will say one thing...with the exception of Khandi Burris who is a professional singer, you actually can sing!!

Focus on that instead of the drama......

It is so refreshing to see you staying in the positive. You have a wonderful voice and good kids. Good Luck!!!

What was the point of linking that article about what Dina said was her reason for leaving? We know it's because of you, she's been very open about that. Yet on WWHL you said it had nothing to do with you and by attaching this article you have Once Again contradicted yourself.

I have been going to Dr. Kassir for years, he is fantastic!

Loved the song and your voice is terrific..regarding Dina, something is off with her..i just saw a video of her and her husband planning their wedding and she acts so different today...which is the real dina?

good luck with your music and book tour.

Danielle you are my favorite out of all the ladies. Please keep living in the moment and forget the past. Your daughters are so pretty and they both have bright futures. Take care love.

Your blog today was so not what I have come to expect from you...drama, negativity and blame!!! What a surprise, you actually sound like a normal woman. Watched the show last night and got the feeling shit is gonna happen...again...gotta let it all go, girl. Also watched 'Watch What Happens'...and guess what??? Another surprise...YOU actually sound great on that song!!! I look forward to hearing it with all the tweaks producers just can't resist adding. They should leave it alone, it does have a lullaby quality! Thanks for the surprises, good luck with the music...I wonder what comes next.

I hate to admit it, but you have a lovely voice.

Not sure what you're trying to imply with the Dina link. I think what she said speaks for itself. If you're really moving on, stop talking about her! I'm having a hard time buying this new "moving on" side of you. I think you've just finally noticed that the world thinks you're off your rocker!

Danielle,

GREAT JOB!!!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your new SONG!

You sound great.

Though I don't think that you are a particularly nice person, I must say that of all the housewives that have recorded songs, you actually can sing!

Take a cue from you surgery and correct what is wrong in your life. Cut out what isn't working for you.

I think you are beautiful. Sometimes "raw" is hard to watch, but I still admire you. Keep living for your children and forget the past.

I don't understand why you consider yourself to be very Catholic.... Catholics who are true to the faith do not have sex before marriage. If there are sex tapes of you and steve well then....

HAVE YOU GONE TO THE 'OTHER SIDE'??? SURE DID LOOK LIKE IT LAST NIGHT. A LITTLE BIT TOO 'CHUMMY' FOR ME FOR JUST A GIRL THAT HAD WRITTEN THE SONG WITH YOU.

It is pretty clear for the link you posted that DIna left the shouw 99.9 percent because of you and 1percent because of the drama you created. How do you see it any other way... she left the show because of you....period.

I watched your performance last night and it was fantastic! Who knew you were such a talented singer!You answered those hard questions last night with class. You are a strong person and I look forward to hearing more songs from you!

Very nice song. Finally a housewife who can hold a tune! Great job with your girls. Great job on the song ! Now stop spazzing over the MANZOS!

Who in the heck is Danny and why do you really need a body guard. Girl, you are his meal ticket and not that you are anything special but whatever. Congratulations to your daughter not you but your daughter on her modeling career.

Keep singing and let the rest go. Who knew you had a voice? Wow...

Danielle while I may not agree with some of your actions on the show, I have to give credit when credit is do. OMG I just saw you sing on Andy Cohens show and I was totally blown away. You are a beautiful singer. I think you should leave this show and the drama, move to NY or LA and be a singer. Forget the duets and sing on your own. LOVED IT!!!

Well i must admit your blogs are more postive than they have been in the past. Congradulations on turning the corner. Also I was suprised with your vocal perfermance last night. A houswife that can actually sing. Good for you. Let's see how they manage to claim it was not you singing. No autotune and no adjustments. Raw singing. Who knew?

Seems like your song and performance on "Live" was your coming out party. You have a really good voice! The song was great. Your short short skirt?? I'm sure you were made to sit sideways while talking to Andy -- otherwise a whole new SHOW that would have been. Then when you returned to the set after the song you sat on the arm of the chair and had Lori take the seat. Lordy even from the side view we could tell the skirt barely covered your lady parts. Did you really think you could sit in this dress? You do have the legs for it, however. Best voice of all the singing housewives. Good for you! Go get em!

All that link said was that Dina left the show because of you, because she was tired of dealing with you. So by posting that link are you confirming it is true?
