Mob Wives Starts Off With A Big Big BANG!

Happy New Year readers! I hope you all ushered in 2012 with family, friends, and tons of excitement. I rang in the new year doing all three plus watching some marathons of my favorite shows in which one of them happened to be Mob Wives. The new season of Mob Wives aired tonight at 8 pm and I'm dedicating this post to my shot nerves and boiled blood because these women know how to rile up a crowd. I rarely blog about reality tv shows but tonight's episode was so good my fingers had to type something! Let's go through a little recap.

Last season, we left on a violent note as Karen Gravano and Drita D'Avanzo battled it out on a rooftop in an effort to bury their past which involves Drita allegedly dating and marrying Karen's ex Lee D'Avanzo while Karen and Lee were still an item. Sounds complicated right? It actually is. Fast forward a couple of months later, Drita and Karen are still feuding and leaving the remaining women in an uncomfortable position. Well, Renee Graziano isn't really focusing on this nonsense because she is preparing to go through extensive plastic surgery. She is working on her renewal and everything great it has to follow.

You know when that little voice in your head is telling you that you shouldn't do something but you decide to do it anyway? Renee had this voice but dismissed and went under the knife. After cutting out 35 pounds of fat from her body, she couldn't really handle the pain and after squirming when she should have been lying still, she ripped open the stitches from her back and had to be hospitalized. Her ordeal was nothing short of dramatic just like we like our girl ;). Nearly dying from a botched surgery, there are a few things that can make your life better and they are friends and family. She had that covered until Carla decided not to show up or even check in to see how she was feeling. The ever dramatic Renee was pissed and Carla is now on her "shit list".  Dealing with a disloyal friend and a near death experience, Renee decided to throw herself a party. Parties stocked with food and alcohol ALWAYS do the trick.

Everyone in Staten Island was invited to this shindig except for Carla and while Carla was ecstatic, she was worried because Drita and Karen would under the same roof. Days leading up the event, Drita texted Karen wanting to make up. At the advice of Karen's cousin and newest wife, Ramona Rizzo, Karen ignored Drita's pleas & decided that whatever happened that night would be left up to God. It's the night of the party and everything is set in place. Drita and Karen spot each other and do their best to stay in each other's respective corners. Here's where the confusing part occurs; Renee wants Karen and Drita to join her on stage. Um, did you not just break them up months ago? They're enemies...DUH!

Drita goes on the balcony with Karen and Ramona soon following. As the clock is winding down to 9, the episode is over but we do get a sneak peek and we see Ramona barking at Drita and Drita is trying her best to be cordial but you can only allow someone to yell at you before you snap......BOOOM! Drita socks Ramona busting the side of her lip open. Word to the wise, never stick your nose where it shouldn't be.

Thanks for reading and let's all buckle up for the wild ride that is sure to be this season!

XOXO,

All Together Now: Hug...And Then Sucker Punch!

Before we begin the recap, let's give ourselves a round of applause because this is the first ever boxing post since this blog has been active. There's only one monumental event that could ever warrant a boxing post and that is due in part to Floyd Joy Mayweather, Jr.

You know the name, you know the flair, you know the world records, and you love the controversy which is what Pretty Boy Floyd/Money Mayweather always brings to to the ring whenever he's fighting an opponent. Tonight's match was against boxing's gritty, hard worker Victor Ortiz. We fans were treated to the hype surrounding to this match with HBO critically acclaimed 24/7 in which Mayweather bragged, boasted, used his millions as a telephone with friend 50 cent, fought with his father, repeatedly, and also opened up old wounds. Ortiz won fans over with his back story of abandonment by both parents and clips of him training with his not-so-much affluent team. The lines of fanaticism were drawn after 2 episodes and fans knew who they wanted to win.

The night was upon us and the festivities commenced. Mayweather looked strong in the beginning and Ortiz counteracted with a few punches of his own. After a few more punches, Mayweather seemed to be getting the upper hand on his opponent and in the blink of an eye, something happened. Omg...could it be...did I see this correctly...Victor Ortiz kept his head down and headbutted Mayweather. That's right! HEADBUTTED. My jaw was on the floor readers because to violate the first rule of boxing in a blatant manner is something that I cannot let slide. As Ortiz and Mayweather hugged, Floyd proceeded to throw more dirt on the situation by sucker punching Ortiz! WHAT DID WE JUST WITNESS?

Call this fight over because the sheer disrespect and foul play on both parts was just too much for us fans to handle. I am disgusted by both Floyd and Victor, although the fight was entertaining, because so many of us were left disappointed...especially those of us who paid for PPV.

We'll be talking about this fight for some days and all I can end this first ever boxing post with is: Man...I love sports!

XOXO,
Whitney
