NBC will be totally owned by Comcast… including the building in which MissAndy has an office, 30 Rock!
From TheWrap:
Comcast will acquire the remaining 49 percent of NBCUniversal from General Electric for about $16.7 billion, the company announced on Tuesday.
The announcement comes roughly two years and two weeks after Comcast closed its deal to acquire a majority stake in NBCU for $30 billion, and represents a vote of confidence by the cable giant in its acquisition. TheWrap broke the news of merger talks in September 2009.
The deal also includes a major real estate transaction involving one of the country’s most famous addresses.
NBCUniversal will pay roughly $1.4 billion to purchase the property it uses at 30 Rockefeller Plaza — which provided the name of the NBC series “30 Rock” — as well as CNBC’s headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, N.J.

From TMZ: The recent suicide of “StorageWars” Mark Balelo has a connection to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Russell (RIP) Armstrong…
Balelo said he “understood” why Armstrong would resort to such drastic action … because the thought of public humiliation was too much for him to handle.
August 2011… Russell (RIP) was told to “bring the drama”…

Kenya Moore tells Ebony that she wanted to showcase her “authentic” cancer scare on the RHOA because her experience would save lives.
“… when I did it on camera, it was because ultimately it’s going to save peoples’ lives. I wanted it to be authentic.
I didn’t get the results before I did it on camera, so when my doctor told me what the news was, it was the first time I heard it, because I wanted the viewer to know what it’s like to actually go through it and know that it’s OK. That no matter what, it’s going to be OK. You just need to get early detection and early treatment because that’s what’s going to save lives…”
NOTE: Kenya also tells of her cancer scare via her BravoBlog…

BernieTheInsultChef has written another manifesto!
Apparently, ChefBernie has changed his ‘tude towards LisaVPump and has awarded Brandi Glanville as the recipient of his bellicose vitriol!
This time his wrath is aimed directly at the very poor Brandi Glanville via TwitLonger:
YOU’RE IGNORANT AND PETTY.
YOUR HATEFUL AND SAD.
PEOPLE SEE DISINGENUOUS, NOT AWARE YOUR ROTTEN TO THE BONE; DISINTEGRATING.
THE FACT:
YOU HAVE BEEN PLACED AMONGST THE LIKES OF YOLANDA & DAVID FOSTER, CAMILLE GRAMMAR, ADRIENNE MALOOF, KYLE RICHARDS, TELEVISION ICON SUZANNE SOMMERS AND LISA TODD HAS RAISED EYEBROWS AND SUSPICION ALL OVER THE NETWORK WORLD.
YOU LIVE IN THE “SAN FERNANDO VALLEY”….
HOW DID YOU GET “CAST” ON A SHOW WHERE NO TRAILERS OR MULES ARE HITCHED? NOTE: Oh, there is more… much more!
BernieTheInsultChef had this to say before this season of the RHOBH began… July 12, 2012:
SO LETS BE REAL….THIS SEASON…
THE GLITZ & GLAMOROUS LIFESTYLES IN BEVERLY HILLS…
HAVE GONE TO THE “DOGS”.
MEAN SPIRITED AND WOMAN GRASPING AT STRAWS WITH TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS.
ITS BECOME GHETTO & TRASHY LIKE A JERRY SPRINGER SHOW.
I FIND IT VERY EMBARRASSING…FROM “CLASS” TO “CRASS” ..
I CAN’T SAY “BRAVO” TO THIS YEARS PERFORMANCES.
NOTE: Does Adrienne Magoof know what ChefBernaise is saying? Kinda get the feeling that Adrienne knows…

If you were born today… February 13:
“You work very hard for the things that are important to you. You instinctively appreciate what you have and that it might not be there tomorrow. While this could translate to nervousness or perhaps pessimism, especially when it comes to money, many of you are simply determined, proactive, hard-working, and realistic.
You are highly intelligent and intuitive. Others can rely upon you.
You possess quite a bit of energy, but you must be aware that emotions color much of what you do this year. It can be hard to be objective as a result.
You can be especially good at detailed work this year, and you may very well excel as a specialist. You have excellent mental concentration and you especially enjoy digging for answers. You will have particular success in areas that demand the specialized capabilities that you have to offer this year.
“If I could only give THREE words of advice, they would be, ‘Tell the truth.’ If I got three more words, I’d add:
‘All the time.’ ” ~ Randy Pausch
2013 is a Number Three year for you. Ruled by Jupiter. This is a year of sociability. It is a friendly time, when it is easy to enjoy life and other people. Focus is on personal freedom, reaching out to others, making new friends, and exploration. You are more enthusiastic and ready for adventure. It is likely to be a rather lighthearted year, when opportunities for “play” time are greater than usual. It’s also a good year for expressing your creativity. Advice – reach out, but avoid scattering your energies.”

Here’s the deal, MissAndy: YOU stop mentioning YOUR political views. Fortunately… there are many more people who DO care about Ted Nugent’s political views than yours!
NOTE: For MissAndy to compare himself politically to Ted Nugent is laughable!

Are you still wondering what to get your Valentine for Valentine’s Day? Were you caught off guard by time just flying by so fast and didn’t realize that Valentine’s Day is tomorrow? Is the fact that February is the only month of the year which has 28 days still puzzling you? Did you just plain forget that Valentine’s Day is February 14?
If you answered “Yes!” to any of the above questions, David Foster has the solution for your Valentine’s Day dilemma! Yes, Yolanda Foster’s husband, David Foster… of all people… can fix that problem!
You can send a personalized Valentine’s Day card… which features Andrea Bocelli, a David Foster-produced artist… from DavidFoster’s OfficialWebsite! Geez… David Foster can make things happen!

WOW Bernie is a huge nutjob~!!! It’s one think not to like Brandi or agree with her, but he sounds totally uncouth and off his meds.
Trust me, Adrienne knows and is allowing Bernie to do this. If I was Adrienne, I would be very careful using people to do your dirty work. Because if they go to far and get sued they may say you told me too and when you say you didn’t they will come up with evidence and blow your world apart.
Paul is already suing over Bernie shenanigans, and now Adrienne will no longer be able to deny as she did at Lisa’s tea, that Bernie attacks other housewives. I’m thinking this is the reason he was not seen in the episode this season in Adrienne’s house.
I’m not saying this to be rude or funny, but does Bernie speak English? Either he is illiterate or english is not his first language.
Interesting question. His last name is Guzman, but I don’t know if he was born here or not. Frankly I’ve done little to gain information on this guy, since I haven’t liked him from day one.
Good horoscope for anyone lucky enough to be born today.
Happy Birthday Miles! My birthday was last week. I could probably raise one more glass and do a cheer to you! Where are you celebrating this year? I really enjoy your posts!
Is this (by chance) a Happy Birthday to SH? If so, please know you have my best wishes for a beautiful day!!
** Well even if it’s not your birthday – have a great day!
Stlrfan: Thank you! However, moi is a Capricorn! There are some very special Aquarian people born on this day, February 13! TFC!! SH
Cappies Unite !!!!! Jan 5th cappie here.
capricorn here too! jan.9
So I missed it?
Hope it was a great day!
Stlrfan: Pretty sure you were there!! How could you have forgotten the trip to Vegas, where we all indulged in private spa treatments, private dinners prepared by a five-star celeb chef, private dancing provided by the Chipmunk guys, then off to a private B-Day party at the Venetian which alone cost $79,000??? Then we were all hauled off to the Clark County jail… no one could foot the $473,500 bill! Just got out myself! LOL!!! TFC!! SH
Are you sure we weren’t at the Palms? Cuz I seem to remember this messy place that was so far off the strip that the cab ride (back) cost more than my hotel room.
Thought I’d catch a glimpse of Adrienne Maloof at the Palms but, alas… it was only 2% of her
Stlrfan8: I’m getting hiccups laughing, especially that last sentence.
Good for Brandi for living within her means. Close to two million people live in her city. Where does Bernie live other than up Adri-mann’s butt? On a different note, Joe Gorga looks like a total d-bag on that billboard. Was that the best the tanning salon could do? And, who would want to fall Rich the Fish Face in a tanning bed. Gross!
Maybe Brandi could sell that $700 toaster on eBay!! She’s living modestly but still not “within her means”.
Maybe it was a gift from LeAnn simply to say to Brandi that she is “toast.”
Haha! Good one!
It must have gone up in value–thought it was retail at $400.
common: Those hidden HW “fees” and those S&H charges! TFC!! SH
RIP, Russell. I’m sorry you found the permanent solution to a temporary problem. We are not all falling for Traylor’s act and if you can see her now, she is much worse for the wear after all that she did and has done to you. We pray Kennedy and your family will be safe and healthy.
Go Ted! He was awesome on Piers Morgan.
AZ: Deport Piers!! TFC!! SH
Woot! I’d like to deport MANY people who have moved to the U.S.!!!
I’d like to deport a bunch who were born here!
LMAO! Me too!
LOL. I’d have to mull over that one……..
So happy there are sane people in this world who see past the agenda of people like Miss Andy & these supposedly unbiased pundits. I guess everyone is allowed to show political bias except those who disagree with the liberal left! I’m not very conservative but I can see the hypocrisy from 3000 miles away!
That anti gun control video is a good one. I cannot stand Piers Morgan.
Maybe because he sucks.
I don’t like him either, but appreciate his stance.
Bernie, the kitchen cook is just screaming for his 15 min of fame. He’s the trash here and a complete moron. Adrienne is an idiot for employing this jackass. They deserve one another. I despise Joe (suffers from short man syndrome) Gorga. He’s a nauseating sex addict and his constant comments about it make me want to hurl. I don’t know how on earth Melissa can stand crawling in to bed with that slimy douche bag. Okay, I feel better now.
Adrianne with all her cash has only one friend–the paid help Bernie the insult chef, shame, shame, shame.
Sizzle Tan, tanning salons are a dime a dozen in NJ. How low can you go Joe,,you are a whore master. No thanks Lizard Lips I don’t want a kiss from you. I will pass on this meet and greet.
Sizzle Tan? Really? When your skin is sizzling like a cheap steak try not to think about melanoma. Have these people no shame?
Who would’ve ever thought a Lizard and a Tuna could get along.
Isnt there a blizzard or something going up north??? why is that ass promoting tanning in the winter??? just asking
We tan all year round in NJ
Barb, please consider a spray tan, although i am nit sure dying your skin is a good idea, either.
I don’t use the tanning beds since the spray tanning has come out. Thanks for your concern.
learn something new everyday!!! i am from texas we have all year tanning too
no booth tho!!!!!
Just took that billboard of Mr. Markco into photoshop and I will bet the farm that that head was put on that body. That’s not his body.
That billboard looks like somethin from 1991. Do people stil crawl into those microbe infested Cancer coffins nowadays? I thought the tanners all spray tanned nowadays.
Yeah, tanning beds have such a bad rep, not sure if it’s deserved or not. From what I’ve heard there are alot of folks giving up on them. Never tried one. The only tan that looks real is a suntan. Not good for you but at least it’s natural.
They sure picked some lame pics of SloJo and Retchie for that promo ad. SloJo looks like he’d rather be somewhere else or maybe being booked for a crime. Retchie looks like he’s in a polyester outfit and chain from the 70′s. I wonder if SloJo’s handlers write down on a card for him a few things for him to sign at these signings? You know, like “To a great fan” or “All the best” so he spells it right.
Bernie is the one who is pathetic and low class. I lost count of all of his grammatical and spelling errors. Is he a native English speaker? You could have fooled me; he would likely benefit from a remedial English, or English as a second language course.
