She got that idea from the Manzos. They block anyone who follows Tweetmaxine.

(The irony is, the more people they block the fewer followers they have...which makes them less appealing to the Bravo head honchos...)

Wow on the link to thedirty.com, call me naive but I didn't realize that the publicists for people actually write the articles that appear and send their own pictures! I guess I gave the celeb blogger sites more credit for doing the work!!!

Alisons, that is EXACTLY what publicist's job is. To get their client's name in the news, good or bad. All the talk about planting stories in the press this season. This is a good example of that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publicist

A publicist is a person whose job is to generate and manage publicity for a public figure, especially a celebrity, a business, or for a work such as a book, film or album. Most top-level publicists work in private practice, handling multiple clients.

In the world of celebrities, unlike agents or managers, publicists typically take a monthly fee for serving a client (whereas agents and managers tend to take a percentage of their client's gross income). Publicists can be at local, regional or national level. They can also have special expertise in areas such as entertainment or literary publicity.

One of the publicist's main functions is to generate press coverage on behalf of clients and to serve as the bridge between clients, their public and media outlets. A publicist writes press releases, manages campaigns and performs other public relations functions. It usually takes many years to develop the media contacts, experience and relationships necessary to be an effective publicist.

Some publicists specialize in representing 'ordinary' members of the public to procure the maximum possible fee for stories they wish to sell to newspapers, television stations and magazines.

An older meaning of the term is closer to pamphleteer: someone who circulates ideas by publishing them, perhaps in ephemeral forms.

Jill also tweeted that she was shopping in that store with Ally. No doubt to get freebies for giving the store free advertising.

so far a little concerned about what will happen on the reunion show.
I love the reunion shows of Top Chef, but don't think this one will be the same. never saw a Housewives reunion before. Too bored to go to my own class reunions, did go to a job reunion once, that was really fun. (OK, OK, I threw the office reunion for a company that went under about 2 years later.

Just FYI... I was driving home from work with the news radio on and low and behold, who do I hear? The discussion was about Danielle's sex tape. The expert advice on whether it was right or wrong was coming from none other than Jill Zarin. She is everywhereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Her sage advice was that she can't judge Danielle, but felt that it was not good for her daughters.

Sadiesmom - in place of "reunion" think "shouting match." The previous reunions were that way and that is before these ladies truly hated each other.

Frogi, thanks for the explanation, I had no idea about the extent to which these publicists go!

Exciting news - Alisons is going to go see Alex and Simon, they are at the Tyson's Corner Mall on Friday!! Woo hoo!

Bravo has some previews up on their Bravotv.com site and what they show is pretty tame. Jill does walk off saying something like "I'm not doing this" There's an exchange between Kelly and Alex. Alex seems to get the venom more than Bethenny. I believe Jill and Kelly realize that they've lost fans by battling with Bethenny so have switched to Alex who's not as quick with the comebacks. Without seeing the actually show in it's entirety I can only guess by the preview.

Someone posted that Kelly said she doesn't block anyone. I'm blocked from following Kelly and so is another friend of mine. We made wisecracks about her reaction to jelly beans, grade school stuff and got blocked.

You know, I just watched the clips for the reunion show and even though I know I will watch it, I really don't want to because what I really really want is closure. Not the same back and forth arguments and Kelly's stupid remarks.

I want Kelly to apologize and say she is not coming back.

Bethanny, Alex, Jill and yes even LuLu to realize where the all behaved badly and build a bridge and get over it.

I am honestly not looking forward to it.

I suppose I'm a bit of a brat because I want to see Jill get pummeled. I want to see Alex get the last word. I want LuAnn to admit she can't sing. I want Sonja to stop being so PC, although I really like her on the show for being somewhat neutral. I want Kelly to cry (lol) and I want Bethenney to publicly thank Alex for her friendship. And for Ramona I just want her to come out of this all unscathed.

Bring it oooon.

Bethenny already thanked, both Alex and Ramona, at the end of the final show.

You know, both Kelly and Jill are pretty much idiots when it comes to Twitter. I can see all of their tweets, and comment on them all I like. I just won't appear in their Twitter feed. Big deal. I can still read how they are making fools of themselves while they live in Denial Land. If they really cared to NOT see what people say, they should protect their tweets. (As it stands now I could tweet that I thought Jill Z was a witch or Kelly needs to go curl up in the swamp from whence she came, and they wouldn't know I was talking about them.)

From the artcle

What about surprising the ladies in the Virgin Islands? Would you do that again?


If I could take it back I would. My intentions were honestly good. I was going there to make peace. I couldn’t have anticipated the Kelly situation. And had it gone the way I planned, Kelly would have been at the house. And even if some of the girls didn’t want me there, I would have been accepted by Kelly and I hopefully would have been able to pave my way to make peace with the some of the other girls that I was having problems with

-----------------------------------

WHAT A LIE! Ramona AND Bethenny spoke with Jill the night before Kelly left and they told her as a friend Jill should meet her at the airport. She knew what went down before she showed up to make her GRAND entrance!

The problem with this reunion to me, from viewing the promos and the series this year, is that people are locked into their reality,. it reminds me of trying to talk politics to some people - they have their preconceived notions and the talking points from their parties and don't want to be bothered by facts.
Any discussion is pointless because no one is prepared to open their minds and discuss things without prejudice.

Each of the housewives are rooted in their reality and do not like looking at things with fresh eyes.

Asa person who hurt people without meaning to hurt them by opening my mouth at the wrong time, I appreciate people who explain to me what I did or said that hurt them and then, when I see it, I can apologize. I have one friend who feels nothing she says can offend me, which is not true, but is such a generous and kind person, that I can forgive her bluntness. No friends are ever perfect and you would not have any if you looked for someone who was.

On the other hand, none of these women are really friends, or maybe are here and there, but were pushed together and prob ably would not have crossed paths otherwise. I always forgave people I worked with since they were office friends, rather than hold them to any loyalty requirement.

there are just different realities here - these people should not be so fussy, yet because they are talking about each other on television, it may strike deeper. what evah, should not take this so seriously except it does echo what I see in real life at least in political discussions.

Not only that, but IT WAS RAMONA'S PARTY!!!! She wasn't Kelly's plus one! That, and etiquette (you know, that thing that Luann constantly shoves down peoples' throats?) dictates that if you decline an invite, you don't just show up. If you decide to change your plans, you should advise the host that you have changed plans and will attend. You JUST DON'T SHOW UP! (Haven't read the article yet, just think it's so stoopid that Jill doesn't see what she did wrong!)

From Andy Cohen's Blog - A *3* part finale!

In other big news, we are making the RHNYC Reunion THREE WHOPPING PARTS and Watch What Happens Live is hopping over to Mondays starting next week. So Part 2 of the reunion will air Monday night at 9 EST before RHNJ, and then I will be live in the Clubhouse with Ramona and Dina. Next Thursday at 9 EST, it's Part 3 followed by a brand new episode of Bethenny and then I am live in the Clubhouse to say goodbye (for now) to Thursdays with the first lady of Bravo, Kathy Griffin. I am beyond the beyond about KG joining me in the clubhouse.

I am also very psyched that we're leaving very little of the reunion on the edit room floor. This was as compelling a show as we've done and (you) the audience is as engaged as ever, so we want to deliver it all.
