Melissa Gorga tweeted that SHE turned down “Danger Diving With The Stars”! Now WHY would MeGo have turned down that offer? MeGo says that she was “too scared”!
Perhaps the REAL reason for her to turn down the offer… if there was a legitimate offer… was that “DangerDiving” would not have allowed her to spotlight her vocal talents! OR, could the reason for rejecting the offer be that MeGo, just like singing, can’t swim!
The most interesting part of MeGo’s tweet was BigGayGreggy’s advice…
MeGo also sent out a “ThankYou” tweet to the hospital staff who treated her hubbend, JoeyMarco Gorga, when he was STRICKEN with the flu!
NOTE: Since Kyle and Kim Richards were kinda mentioned in the tweet above re “DangerDiving”… just wonder if Kyle or Kim would have taken the easy route of a “ThankYou” tweet? IMO, the Richards’ sisters were taught manners (along with other things…) by their mother, BigKathy, and would have sent a hand-written note of thanks to each of the staff who nursed family members.

Oh, those fame-lovin’ Wakiles!! Da Wakiles were in Chicago on Sunday for a “meet ‘n greet” at a dining “event” set up for them by their PR company. The same company which represents Melissa Gorga!
Tickets to get a glance of the ever-reprehensible Richie and his wife, KomaKathy, were $75 per person!
This is what you got for your $75 per ticket… PLUS fee:
“On January 13, 2013 star of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Kathy & Richard Wakile are coming to Naperville, Illinois. Join us at Cafe Buonaro’s for a sit down, family style, 4 course dinner including dessert and 2 glasses of wine, tax and gratuity. Each attendee will be able to meet Kathy & Rich and take a picture with them while enjoying the best food Naperville has to offer!
All tickets purchased will receive a VIP Swag Bag that include an Icon Clothing Inc. ”Future Housewife” tee and many others exclusive gifts.
This event is a series of events that Cafe Buonaro’s will be hosting! Join us by purchasing your tickets now!
Sponsors for this event are: Icon Clothing Inc, Salon on State, Midwest Crochet, Glancer Magazine, Me, Myself & Jen and It Works by Lauren Monroe.”
Melissa Gorga, with her tag-along-dancer-hubbend, Joe, also had a meet ‘n greet back in January 2012… same place, same dinner, same gift bag crap! MeGo also had her daughter along to model… from SH January 10, 2012.
As an extra-special incentive, you had the opportunity to purchase MeGo’s hit single ”ON DISPLAY” bein’ sold right there during the dinner… for an additional $10!
Da price to see da Gorga’s was $65 per person… PLUS that “fee” of $2.62!
As mentioned on SH December 10, 2012… there must be lots of people taking what SH says to heart!
‘Cause that “FEE” which always accompanies anything which any of the Housewives are sellin’ has now disappeared from the ticket info… it DOES show up only AFTER you’ve submitted all your credit card information to purchase the ticket!
SO… how did da Wakile’s dinner meet ‘n greet in Chicago turn out? OR… how many turned out and paid $75 to see da Wakile’s?
Here’s the rundown on ticket sales:
Da Wakile’s had a crowd of diners lining up for them! Yes… the crowd was so huge that the hungry diners were stacked up five-deep… and many had to suffer through the cold snap which hit Chicago! The crowd was shivering outside, lined up down the block in front of the restaurant and winding its way back several street… while waiting for da Wakiles!
Da Wakile sold a total of 54… yes, you read that correctly! FIVE-FOUR tickets! 54 tickets at $75 is $4,050. Just for the hell of it, let’s round up that additional “fee” to $3.00, which adds another $162.
So, a TOTAL sum of $4,212 was made for this Wakile meet ‘n greet!
Those Wakile figures must have been quite disappointing… as compared to the numbers which da Gorgas attracted to the same Chicago restaurant.
Da Gorga’s sold 120 tickets at $65 per person ($7,800)… PLUS that “fee” of $2.62… which comes to a grand total of $8,114.40!
Wakiles = $4,212 Gorgas = $8,114.40
********************************************************
Miami Housewife, Adriana de Moura was scheduled for a meet ‘n greet last month at the same restaurant by the same PR firm… with the same sway bag of gifts, etc. However, Adriana’s appearance only attracted a total of 4… yes, F-O-U-R ticket sales. Needless to say, that “event” was cancelled.
That Playgirl cover of JoeGo above is friggin’ hilarious! Also, Melissa keeps calling out RealityTea on twitter because they did a story about her trying to get a fitness video out before Teresa and said she never even worked out before. This must be really bothering her! Three tweets in a row directed at them.
I so agree with you TV Junkie… That is so funny… On display on display… LIL Joey…
I saw that this afternoon. Also she has a picture up with her and her new manager. Johnny Wright, take a look at his tan another guido…. slang I am so sick of these scammers it’s not even funny. Done with them.
Hmmmm, wonder if dessert was fishy titimisu or fishy cannoli.
1. Im surprised 54 people came honestly. That’s really good considering no more than 10 people should have gone
2. Why is it more expensive to see the wakiles than the Gorgas? Kathy must think she’s bigger than Melissa now thanks to her cannoli kit
3. That photo of Kathy and rich should be banned from the server for war crimes. Psychological torture can be as bad as physical
4. Melissa turned down diving with the stars because her hair extensions would fall out in the water and turn a different color due to being cheap. Nobody wants to see a bald horse
Re #1 I totally agree.
What I don’t get is where the profit margin is for the restaurants that host these types of functions. Who pays the airfare, hotel, “biggest hummer Limo” Dickie had ever seen? I don’t get it. Plus if there were only 54 tickets sold and there were lines wrapped around the block, it must be a teeny tiny restaurant.
Did that number include her family that came out to support? I can’t see that many people coming out to see them and pay for the pleasure. Wonder if the restaurant even broke even with paying for advertising and their cut to Fishy and Mr. Teefs.
Why Naperville?
Cafe Bounaro is owned by the family of one of the sponsors, Icon Clothing (formerly known as thebowfits on Twitter) She is also represented by the same PR firm and makes the tshirts that Mel sells on her website.
Bahahha, Ingredientses, I love your #4!!
Oh she turned it down, did she? Funny… if it would’ve been called “Muff Diving With the Stars” she woulda been there in a heartbeat!
Oops (bad Romo)
Bad but hysterical.
I don’t see these people turning down anything that can put a dollar in their pocket and their faces on tv for an additional minute. I don’t blame them trying to cash in on their fifteen minutes of fame. I highly doubt that she would turn down anything that had a paycheck. I read the header really fast and thought she had turned down “Dancing with the Stars”, yeah I know I just saw the D and assumed. I would love to see if one of those guys could teach her to dance seeing as Chris Judd looked couldn’t.
LOL!
I have a hard time believing Mel would turn down a national tv show, albeit a stupid one. Especially one where she gets to parade around half clothed. It would have been good promotion for her fitness video. She appeared at a flea market, right? A mall? Doesnt make sense…probably not true.
It’s George Costanza with JoGo’s head, brilliant Ms Sh!!!!!
ITA
Yeah I bet Melissa turned down Diving with the Stars just like Caroline turned down Celebrity Apprentice and Jill Zarin turned down Skating with the Stars.
Either that or Ingredientzes has it right and Melissa was afraid her extensions would fall out. She wouldn’t be able to wear her false eyelashes either… and she might pop a boob. We’d see her all dripping wet without her face of makeup and it’ll remind everyone what she first looked like when she started the show… like a plain Jane. Oh – and she wouldn’t be able to wear her red bikini instead she would have to wear that black wet suit type thing and it wouldn’t show off her curves. She wouldn’t do it in California either when everyone went surfing either.
OR – maybe she can’t swim just like she can’t dance.
Ingredients love your list! Especially the one citing hair extensions…think it’s true! These folks have some guts and greed to test the waters at this restaurant booking. To have 4 people sign up is mortifying! Richie is prolly happy with the take.
Melissas PR person: Hey Mel, how excited are you for your next flea market appearance? You know, they are shooting some diving “star” competition that will be aired on national tv. Does something like that sound interesting to you? I once sold a kitten to a cousin of one of the producers…he hasnt returned my calls but, if he does…..
Melissa via Twitter: I turned down Diving With The Stars…too scared.
Maybe she can co-host an episode of “When Animals Attack”, it should be right up her alley since she has JOGO looking to hump her every time she turns around.
LOL! The articles & comments on SH are more entertaining than the actual shows.
It truly is. ;0)
I bet Melissa is kicking herself for not waiting a year to have the same event at that restaurant…perhaps SHE could’ve gotten $75.00 per person too! Honestly, I don’t think I would be able to eat at the same place as the wakilies (definitely not worth 75 bucks)…based on open-mouth chewing, disgusting richie, and the fish factor…gross! lol
I noticed that open mouth chewing thing with the Wakiles, too. It is soooo gross. The whole family eats that way. They prolly swallow tons of air doing it and so they must belch like crazy after a meal. PIGS!!!
Sorry but Mr. Teefs looks like a farter. I can just see him going around telling his family to pull his finger.
I can see him burping and saying, “Why fart and waste it, when you can burp and taste it”. I bet he has gas coming out both ends, don’t light a match anywhere near him.
EEEEWWWW…lmao. Just saturating the air around him.
I think their teeth get in the way of their mouths closing..ever…because I never see any of them with their mouths closed!!
Yup! They are a bunch of mouth breathers.
Yawn….it’s MeGo. B-O-R-I-N-G. But laughed so much fell outa my chair at the pics. Baby Joey is priceless.
Bwa ha ha…baby Joey body to go with his baby Joey peen (sorry, BAD chile) But seriously, any couple overly obsessed woth PDA’s I’ve ever known has never ever lasted. It’s like they’re always tryin’ ta pruv sumpin.
It was probably too dangerous for Meho to dive into the water. Besides having her spray tan wash off and cloud up the pool, requiring cleaning and replacing the water. Meho’s immense expànse of forehead would probably hit the water like a belly flop- cracking her skull like an egg, instead of penetrating the water like a normal shaped head would.
That five head she has might actually act as a buoyancy device and help her stay afloat.
Joey Marco is disgusting. In the first photo of him and MeGo, he has one hand on her cooch and the other practically down his own pants. In the second photo of the undynamic duo, he is grabbing her booty. Can he ever keep his hands to himself. Publicly groping your wife doesn’t show how hot you are for her, it shows how little class you have. He has no shame, like a dog licking his junk.
He is like a dog pissing on a fire hydrant to mark his territory.
I’m all for G rated PDA…holding hands..light kisses…things that can be done in front of young children…without anyone clutching their pearls….but the Gorga idea of PDA is soft-core porn! yuck….
“Diving with the Stars”?? Dinner with the Wakiles?? Give the people what they really want! Put these losers in a room and charge us $75 to let us rant at them for one minute – or hit them in the face with a pie. I would part with some cash to smash a pie in Meho or Bitchie’s face. I feel no need to punish Kathy – being married to Richie is punishment enough.
We Chicagoans are too classy for these “foreigners” from NJ. They are tacky and lack any education no wonder they couldn’t sell tickets. Nope we Chicagoans have our our “celebrities” why waste money seeing nobodies.
I visited your city once and was mesmerized.
very nice made. One of my favorite cities and i am a New Yorker…upstate. Great pr firm to continue doing the unsuccessful. I think I could get together 75 people in my neighborhood. They leave their kids for this? How much net after expenses?Delusional!
well somebody must have eaten there sunday night. what’s the scoop on the poop?
After you deduct the airfare and hotel, it seems that KatFish and the Dick actually lost money on the deal.
And not only that but “super-mom” Katfish missed her son’s swim meet or sumpin and the sister had to take him. No wonder she bonds so well with the other born to be a mommy hoochie.
Why would you ever allow a picture to be used for your place of business where your attraction is grabbing his wife’s crotch.
54 people minus Jaime Laurita, his hubbend and his entourage. So maybe 30? Although I doubt they bought tickets.
So THIS is TommyTheGreek…
@bulldog_nj: @RogerMathewsNJ tommy sent this to me few weeks ago “Boston” http://t.co/nHeX5myg
Good work. Which one? the one closest to the camera?
The closest one to the camera looks like Roger..Jwoww’s fiance…yes I once got stuck in the ridiculousness of Jersey shore lol…maybe the one in the middle?
Oh wow. I didnt even recognize that that was Roger. Interesting indeed. So lets just suppose that Mel’s ex has been palin around with the Jersey Shore kids for a while now… and lets suppose that THAT fact is what drove MeGo to covet a spot on a reality TV show. Remember first reunion when Tree mentioned that she didn’t much care for the way the Jersey Shore girls conducted themselves? I am liking this theory or right now.
you definitely have a point there!
I say we pursue this one cause it really does explain why MeGo just seethed at Tree being on a reality tv show. Especially if she is still pinin for this feller. Also explains why she feels like she can carry on like a friggun kid(the shore house party and her sister’s fist pumpin nonsense) instead of a mommy like what she was “born to be.” Also piling up in bed with Tree on the camping trip to was very very Jersey Shore in terms of off kilter boundaries and whatnot. As well as the butt squishin.
p.s. Pretty picture SaraJean.
@made “why thank you!…thank you kindly”
The one in the middle is BryanB aka Butch. The one she lived with before JoGo. I don’t watch jersey shore. I thought the one on the right was Tommy! Damn
The one on the left? Lol!
Anyway, BryanB is ready to spill but he wants to get paid.
Well hail far what say we pass a hat around?
Don’t we know everything already? jk
I got 5 on it!
Me too and between the two of us I am sposin thats the most any of her alleged parking lot bjs ever garnered.
I don’t think he gave her any $ for it. Just coke.
That’s just bw us though. Butch needs his $ for his story and all.
Do you feel like “butch: was the code name that MeGo gave him to sneak away to see him? Telling JoGo she was just going to see that ex female roommate of hers from Florida. She was called butch too right?
I do now! Lol! Butch is the one JoGo busted her cheating on him with at the shore.
OT. Its snowin likea a sumbish over here. Kids were out of school already once this week for flooding.. now snow.
Well that sounds like fun! I don’t like being in the snow but I like to enjoy it from a warm house. I like when my kids are off from sch tho!
Yeah I gots me a whole houseful of neighbor kids over here. Kitchen is already destroyed but I wouldn’t trade these days for nothing.
