According to LapBandLauren Manzo’s twitter, LapBand is overjoyed to be in the land of her BigBrothers… and let’s not forget BigGayGreggy… HOBOKEN!!
Lil LapBand must be makin’ some huge money from her Catface beauty place to up and leave the coziness of BigAl and DonCaro’s FranklinLakes honkin’ house!
As DonCaro says in this video, her “kids” are all grown up and they’re on their own!
“Hey… CritterFUR! You missed her! Go get more of those water balloons you got stashed in BigGayGreggy’s your bedroom!”
Guess the BOYZ dun gave up on dat black water crap… and were visiting Canada simply to “promote” the black stuff for their relatives! They got a restaurant to run… FEBUS!!!
(Thanks to SH reader “DiVe”!!)
I smell a set up for a new series.
Please NO!
Double no!
I was thinking the very same thing ….. and people would bitch about it ….. and watch it …… so they could bitch about it ….. and add more money to the Bravo coffers
I will not be watching that sh*tfest LOL.
If it’s a new series I think Bravo isn’t behind it, they are still in litigation with the Punta Cana lawsuit. Also I think either Lauren gave up Cafface (what a name) or Chuckie is running it. Because Hoboken is over an hour away from where her store is and I can’t see her getting up to drive over an hour everyday to manage that store (if that’s the case she should have stayed in Franklin Lakes). But if Chuckie is moving also (which I bet anything it’s to Hoboken), then she can’t really be taking care of it also. So if history can be followed, Maybe Lauren gave up on Cafface and possibly her mother also. Thinking that their sons may have a hit on their hands with the restaurant.
I hate to tell you this, all of this fast moving around smells of desperation, they know they are gone and have to find something while they are still luke warm.
That, and Bravo is going cold-turkey on reality. I think their aim is to turn BraBo from something similar to Oxygen/TLC/Style and convert it into something that NBC wants. Don’t ask me why they would ever dream about flipping the Brabo …
And I concur with you about them feeling lukewarm and running around in shambles to establish themselves before their fame-candle up and expires.
Lauren is moving in with mommy and daddy not on her own! Mommy has to keep her eyes on her new restaurant.
i also think Lapband is moving in with mommy. Big All…who knows..
i dont know if anyone noticed the awkwardness of the scene Albie says: i hope that you guys like each other when you actually spend time alone…blahblahblah
then Big all responds: “that would be ironic, wouldnt it? When you spend every moment together and you find out “this chick is a bitch!”
The look on DonCaro’s face was priceless
I noticed that, too. I could not stop laughing!
I noticed as well. Surprised no one made a big deal of it. If it was T,
they would have blown that sh** to the sky.The look on her face was priceless because she was looking for something to say to make it sound less insulting.
He already knows she’s a bitch that’s why he only sees her one day a week.
pj plz,NO!
Just what Hoboken needs, another nut! Why would Lapband move to a town that has more restaurants and bars per square foot than any other town in New Jersey! Do u know what a difficult commute that is to her store? Why Why Why. Not in my backyard. OK here goes, I hereby promise that if I run into her in my town, She and I will discuss her piss poor attitude and I also promise to set her straight.
And I promise to ignore her on Washington Street. Not even subtle eye recognition.
No way that I am ignoring this chica. This off the boat Italian has a few things to get off her chest (spoken in third person so Mini me lapband will understand)
Antonella, I would love to witness you running into Lapband. I don’t see Lapband commuting an hour a day to Crapface, no way! Chucky say goodbye to your investment $$$. Bha ha ha
I’ll record it but I swear on my dog I will make her wet herself with all the tough girl bull she spouts
hee hee
can’t wait!
Eli Manning lives here, A former Governor lives here, 2 U.S. Senators live here, does anyone think that this town is going to be impressed by Lap Band? Seriously?
I don’t see a listing for her salon….maybe it’s closed and she’s free to follow her brothers without a worry.
I do see a listing….doesn’t ‘t make sense w/commute.
Antonella, we had one of those U.S. Senators marry us 2 years ago in Hoboken. Looks like we moved just in the nick of time!
Mommy is selling her house so she has no where else to go
Antonella sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny that would be….i see her crying
I, for one will boycott everything this family does. Everything from TV shows, books, catfaces, face bars, restaurants and bars to black water and brown sauces. I don’t need anything the have to offer.
I won’t buy a single thing they have to offer.
Same here.
Nothing from me also.
If they did get their own show , I don’t think anyone would watch.
May: I think you are right. If you watched last year’s RHONY reunion, Jill Zarin was absolutely ugly. And she got iced. A lot of people said they would not watch NY if Jill was still on.
I think DonCaro and her brood are worse than Jill Z. I don’t think they could get an audience to follow their antics. Hope they all move to Hoboken and shut up.
2 years ago when everybody was wrapped up in Staub Gate , had they had gotten a show then they would probably get viewers they had a very large fanbase before Tree had her army.
This is all too sudden. I think they only bought their house less than a decade ago. Money trouble and I think there is a spinoff in the works. Maybe not with Bravo. I cant see Chuck going for another season of the housewives but she cant give up on her dream….uh her kids dreams…of reality stardom. I will definitely boycott any show they are on…including RHNJ…..after the reunion. I hope others will do the same….and not watch just to see the manzos self destruct. But Im not worried about their show succeeding anyway….anyone who gives it a shot will undoubtedly find it boring….unless Teresa comes to visit.
Ha. I agree! You know Teresa will be a main topic of conversation. Boy, not like we didn’t know this before this move, but Albie and Critterfur will NEVER fully grow-up and get away from this woman enough to have a healthy, adult relationship.
i mentioned this in an earlier comment. heard it for fact. caro said she was moving to
hoboken, w/ lauren and big al. the house was too big w/ all gone. i think money problems
trying to support all her loser kids. and i would not be surprised if brownstone not doing too
well because of viewers. could also have something to do w/dina/caro problems. dina is
also married to a manzo brother. co-owner of brownstone. he did not want dina on the show. after dina saw all that was going in, the meaness and crap, she left. caro wannbe could not
control her. she is nothing w/out control. your outa here. do not think big al. is going w/her to hoboken. he probably bought
his freedom, after they sell the house. he has the brownstone to sleep in. and doesn’t everyone
say he has had a mistress for years, jill? you know lauren is not driving to cafface everyday
to work. she says she works out every morning. oh what a horrible thing caro did to her
kids. albie does look embarrassed by all of them. albie, respect her as your mother.
distance yourself and lindsay for your sanity.
This is freaking hysterical. They will be little fishies in a big pond in Hoboken. Folks might go to Hoboken to see Buddy at his bakery, but even he has branched out and opened branches in Times Square and Rockefeller Center for the tourists. Besides the locals, who have lived in Hoboken for generations, the rest are wall streeters who take PATH across the Hudson for slightly less expensive rents than Manhattan. AND NONE LIVE WITH THEIR MOMMY.
I said it on twitter and I will say it here: GO BACK TO THE SUBURBS WHERE YOU BELONG, STOP FUC*ING UP MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND STOP HOGGING MY OXYGEN!!!!
AMEN SiSTA
BTW…I am sure LapLauren has the commute all figured out. Driving to Franklin Lakes would be too haaaard….and we know how she feels about hard work. So mommy and daddy will have to buy her a helicopter and a pilot of course…she shouldnt have to learn to fly it. And since there will be no cars in the Catface parking lot, she shouldnt have to worry about mommy and daddys insurance premiums rising. Whatagirl!
yes, I asked the same thing…How is that lazy ass gunna make that commute every day?
This is OBVIOUSLY a set-up for a new series. I really think Chuck of OFF the RHONJ, but for some inexplicable reason, Andy decided to give her a spin-off. Related to that, a while ago, I wanna say like 3-4 months? Critterfur tweeted a pic of a mock-up poster of the 5 of them that said ” THICK AS THIEVES – coming in 2013″. At the time, I thought it was just something some fan created, but I’m starting to think it was the poster for a REAL spin-off they’re getting. Urgh.
I think Chuck IS off*
but they gave her a spin off why?i want her to know,nooone likes her.
This is a snip it from article online: ” The tome will be titled “Let Me Tell You Something” in honor of Manzo’s memorable Season 1 quote in which she uttered (at the show’s infamous table-flipping dinner party): “Let me tell you something about my family, we are as thick as thieves and we will protect each other until the end.”It will be released by HarperCollins on March 26, 2013 and feature Manzo’s advice on family, friendship and happiness.
I think this is the reference to the 2013 suggestion of spinoff I believe Chris may have been eluding to the book that comes out in March, 2013
New: No “snippets” necessary! There are several items re DonCaro’s upcoming book on SH. From SH August 20… details re DonCaro’s book: http://stoopidhousewives.com/2012/08/20/caroline-manzo-doncaros-book-says-its-almost-done-book-is-about-kids-and-how-well-rounded-and-respectful-they-are-nothing-negative-about-housewives/ TFC!! SH
Hmmm, very interesting Guilty. Could happen. They could have adjoining businesses where colorful folk join in the family hyjinks like Sesame Street or Epcot. Meow…
Or maybe they just steal stuff
This is BAD news for Melissa, by the way. If Chuck gets a new series, I guarantee Melissa is going to be new target on RHONJ. Get ready for a bumpy ride, Mel.
Didn’t I hear MeGo say “Buckle up Bit*hes” ? maybe was talking to herself. LOL
Also, could be that Carowhine and Fat Al are in fact divorcing, and/or since they bought the kids a restaurant and Lapband’s business is obviously going to close as soon as the lease is done, they want to keep a close, very close eye on the operations of the restaurant so another one of their businesses doesn’t fail (it will)
I’m sure SH will correct me if I am wrong however, I don’t think the Manzo’s “bought” anything. It was my understanding that the boys partnered (Ie: received funding from) two guys who have other successful restaurants.
the restaurant in hoboken is in partnership w/ already established owners. kinda like a chain.
no high end food etc. definitely think a divorce is in the offing, and caro is off the show
because big al has waited long enough. everyone says he has a long time mistress, jill?
who could stand being w/ an angry, mean, complaining woman. and look at her outfits at
home and even early seasons out of the house. she always looks dirty to me, and so does
christopher. ugh
I have a few friends who lived in Hoboken WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG and from what I know of it, it really isn’t the place for angry, miserable, post-menopausal hosebeasts who can’t let their kids grow up. It’s the place COOL, young adults who can’t afford Manhattan ( or just can’t deal with the congestion ) .
I doubt she will leave her apartment very often. She has to wipe down her kitchen counters every hour on the hour.
She has to go out once in a while to buy more cleaning spray. She is very busy .
She will probably send her lap dog Lauren to fetch them for her.
Talk about the counter wiping….it looked like she was about to wear a hole right through the granite.
Taking out her frustrations I suppose.
I go there to eat often. There are all types of people there. Older single adults who work in the city. Also families live there there are lots of children running around in Hoboken. It has in recent years been built up and become more popular with the younger crowd.
And TONS of little doggies! I loved that about Hoboken! I also used to love seeing “Batman” around town on his bicycle.
I saw Spiderman driving around on a bike the other day. We all cracked up.
Ooh, I wonder if it’s the old Batman! Very cool. This dude used to do lots of community things. He once was directing traffic when a traffic light was out. Too cool!!!!!!
IMO , Lauren has very little appeal . I don’t care how much weight she loses, Lauren just does not have the “it’ factor.Critterfur is off putting, unattractive and squirrelly, Prince Albie is a bit more attractive but not well spoke and zero charisma. Don Caro has worn out the Italian mama schtick.
Chuckie’s little homilies of old school Italian are tiresome. I cannot imagine the manzoids on a spin off. Mehhh
Chuckie is the same way with NO appeal at all. In episode 1 or 2 of this season, Chuckie was talking about MeGo in her booty shorts and Chuckie said that she used to look like that. Right after she said that, a picture of her from her younger days was put onscreen and she was completely lacking in sex appeal and attractiveness. She looked just as plain and dumpy as she does now only skinnier and without all the wrinkles. Was she born middle aged?
You nailed it! She was middle aged in her 20′s. Everyone knows the middle aged bore who knows everything . The drab woman you run away from at parties cuz you don’t want to be trapped listening to that nasally voice droning on and on about her ba-bas. Chuckie never wears accessories or looks neat or well put together. She should have hired a stylist the minute she got the nod from Bravo. But she can’t buy a personality and that has doomed Chux since Day1.
Lauren is NOT at that store every day. She has hired someone named Amanda to run it and do the make up for customers while she goes off to the beach with greggy or the city for events with mommy and daddy. That store will close for sure. I knew she was too spoiled to stay in there every day. I want to know how they can afford to hire help already? Customers coming into the store are fans of Lauren and they want her to do the makeup. Lauren is really a brat. It will close because already she is showing a lack of interest.
Sounds like you’re a local, ccmmaahh? Always fun to hear from those in the area and know what’s up, like this staffing thing.
I agree…great to hear from local folks in the know! Well that explains it…Lauren is disappointing her fans. Too bad.
Wait!!……..Lauren has fans?
Lol…okay gawkers….
Lapband Lauren can be a waitress at the new restaurant, when Ca-Crap tanks. She couldn’t run one table at the hair salon and now she can run a business of all the same crap? Who is going to Ca-Crap to buy her makeup anyway? No one, go to Sephora or Ulta instead.
Looooove Sephora. Could spend an hour or two in there! Catface on the other hand… NO thank youz!!!
Do the wives know if they are coming back for the next season yet and are just not allowed to say or is it still up in the air?
Kiki: Per Bravo iron-clad contract rules, the HWs who DO know cannot utter a word until the cast is OFFICIALLY announced by Bravo. Anyone who states that they have the “inside info” about the new cast is simply guessing at this point. TFC!! SH
Thanks Ms SH!
I hate people who post tweets that start off with “Oh, nothing just (insert thing to show off here)”. She is so immature and childish. Will she still whine and cry when her brothers and Big Gay Greggy don’t invite her for ravioli night every Saturday?
They are leaving Franklin Lakes because they made complete fools of themselves. They are probably the laughing stalk there and surrounding areas. They humiliated themselves out of their town. Bozos!!!!!
Forgot to add it will be Teresa’s fault and then Hoboken will blame Teresa they infested their city. The never ending blame game!
no one in that town even gives them two thoughts
Has anyone else ever wondered about this? Albie and Chris Manzo are sharing an apartment with Big Gay Greggy.
Big Gay Greggy is supposed to have a boyfriend. We’ve seen pics of them together.
Why is Big Gay Greggy living with two (cough-cough) STRAIGHT guys and not with his BOYFRIEND?
They are doing it for the show. They don’t seem to hang out as much together. They are hoping for a Boys to Manzo comeback. I bet once the show is done BGG is out of there.
Has anyone every noticed that Albi has a slight speech impediment. (lisp) I thought that before but in this video it’s seems more pronounced. I wonder if it was addressed when he was young. My neighbor’s son had one but went to a speech therapist and it was gone a year later.
Slight?
But, if he got it fixed, then he wouldn’t be just like his mommy, and Chuckie can’t have that!
I’ve noticed Albie and Rosie Pope seem to have the exact same mouth. Weird…
Maybe they will have a show about opening their restaurant. Might be they think it will be a real hot spot if people who frequent the place get to be on TV. I wouldn’t watch it if you paid me, but does this mean they are giving up on the sludge water. Can’t wait to see what they name the joint, they have a real flair for the absolutely worst names ever. Every name reminds me of waste products. Cacaface, filthyblack water, Brownstain sauce. Hope to never see any of them again.
The show shall be called “the manzos: thick as thieves”. And they all shall fail to see the irony in the word “thick” and the word “thieves”. And I shall laugh.
Very appropriate. I will laugh too, Parkview.
The place will be called Little Town and there see already two in NYC. It looks like it will be a cute place.
yes little town. like i mentioned before. partnering w/established owners of the other
locations. and the owners have other hi-end restaurants
I love how Lapband is so incredibly lazy that most of us have assumed she will not be able to handle a hour commute. Something must be up. Actually it seems like several things are up. Lauren is moving her miserable self to Hoboken despite just starting up Cat Face. The Don is selling her house and due to breast feeding it seems like she is on her way to Hoboken too or else those babies will starve to death. Will Al be turning the Brownstone over to Tommy or will he now be blessed with even more time away from that redheaded doughwoman he calls a wife? What about Bilk (not a typo)? Restaurants have a really high failure rate so chances are this endeavor won’t make it. Either the Manzos are fleeing in shame or the poor viewing audience is about to be subjected to what will be a shortlived series entitled Hosebeasts in Hoboken. I just hope the restaurant menu comes with a warning that warns customers that the ham may have been on the floor, ceiling, or wall at some point and the milk may not necessarily come from a cow.
I have always thought Andy was overly nice to Caroline and fambly out of fear of trunks and saran wrap.
Kiki….or a warning that you might not want to use the bathrooms…Critterfur has had too much scrapple and vodka again and they need a clean up on aisle 2.
Ewww I forgot about that. I wonder how often this exchange will occur
Customer: Excuse me. What is that fishy smell? I didn’t see any seafood on the menu.
Waiter: Ummm, well. Um. See. Teresa. Yeah. Yeah. Teresa ….
*Richie Wakile’s head pops over the booth*
Richie: Oh that scent. That is just my wife Kathy! Would you like purchase one of her homemade desserts tonight?
Lol Kiki. They’re all running to hobroken. Hmmmm. If they get a show I will be so pissed. Pass the manicotti please. Extra butter and cheese? More cannolis. More stuffed sausages. More lapband for everyone.
Maybe Lauren wants to be close to Buddy’s bakery. Yummy!
Umm, for all her talk about her famibly it’s odd that so many aren’t close to her. I remember Dina saying , back when Danielle was still on the show something like “At night when the rest of us are relaxing & playing with the cats , Danielle is plotting away…” I think that’s why she quit speaking to her sister. She realized Carowhine is doing the same thing. Hmm, maybe someone needs to get her a cat.
Correct me if I wrong. Didn’t I read that they were expanding Cafface? Please tell me there’s no spin off in the making?? Just one more thing to really piss me off..I seriously can’t take much more of this..lol
