I casually tell my significant other when I hang out with my female friends so I would never not divulge when I hang with my male friends.

I agreed w/ Evelyn too, but felt bad about it because she, and her girls generally, act like 8 year olds. She just happened to swerve into "rightness" on this one.

My gf and I have had the "friend" debate/discussion. I trust her, but not hte dudes who would generally call themselves friends. Of course, she tells me I'm tripping until I flip the script and ask how cool she'd be with me hanging out with female friends. Then, magically, she sees the point more clearly.

And I'm so glad I don't ... And, I completely agree with you about Evelyn's justification in asking Chad about this woman. But because he claimed that this was "a problem" for him tells me that she's going to be getting jealous a lot more often. If she's just a friend "from the past", why couldn't he mention it to his new fiancee? Chad is exactly what Jennifer said he is, ... and attention whore. He seems to be more about fun and games than anything else, and would much rather keep her laughing in hopes that she would simply ignore the female friends he hangs with.

And while I feel bad for saying it, ... I loved, Loved, LOVED the drink-in-the-face scene. She had the nerve to be so shocked when she'd just thrown a glass herself. What was funnier was her very fake and slow-motioned attempt at retaliation: "I will F*CK you up ..." Of course, she had to be held back by one of the producers before she REALLY got violent. LMFAO!!!!! Good ol' Jennifer. Keepin' it real.

I'm over it.

At the polo event?! Seriously?! This is beyond dumb. Of course it was staged so they see each other FIRST THING walking into the event. Duh. Yeah, I'm over it. Bitches need hobbies.

[rhoyaltempest]

Yup, I'm done too. Did they really think the show could survive on this mess? I'm finding myself not even wanting to watch when nothing else is on; now you know that's bad.

Stop playing. Stop...playing. Let it go, Shaunie, please.

Editing aside, these are some gossipy bickering bitches.

As for Basketball Wives LA, even Shaunie has complained about the stupidity of the cast. She's probably doing that to get us to watch (FAIL) but she said she's not the only producer so she doesn't have full control over what they show.

I agree with Evelyn about what Jennifer said. People talk and say things they regret saying but doing so in an interview is really stupid. A friend wouldn't put a friend on blast like that.

I got sucked into this mess again too (nothing else was on). I agree with Evelyn to an extent. Of course they went overboard for T.V. It's not a surprise that many people are calling Chad a media whore. A friend of mine said the same thing recently and he doesn't even watch the show like that. He's been saying that since Chad changed his name to Ochowhatever. I agree that Jen shouldn't have said that in an interview but Evelyn didn't handle it right either. Why would you approach your supposed best friend in front of others? Evelyn looks to be a media whore too so she and Ocho might just be right together. I will be watching next week though to see how that mess turns out.

I caught this episode (re-run) last night and didn't get Evelyn's point.

I mean who on planet earth didn't know that Chad Johnson, name-changing-to-OchoCinco wasn't an attention whore?

They're doing a frickin' "reality" show and go off about the most inconsequential things -- they all are attention"streetwalkers."

Shaunie and Tami stir up more isht than the makers of Ex-Lax.

Did Meka not make the Italy trip? I didn't see her on the episode.

I thought the group overreacted. "He's a media whore" isn't as detrimental as they were trying to make it be. And that Tami chick needs to stop instigating lol

I understand Meeka has sued Tammy behind this, but, given that the assault actually happened in Italy, I don't know how/if Tammy can be tried in an American court.

...unless it's the bogartish Judge Judy who probably thinks her jurisdiction rivals that of the Roman empire.

Evelyn's daughter called Chad Ochocinco her stepfather. He's only been on the scene for one year.

Good luck to them. They know what's really going on in their lives. I just found that amusing.

Season finale aires on Monday (?).
