Sydney Levin: Brother-In-Law Beat Down

Note: Do nonread on if you takenot yet seen Season 5, Episode 7 of Bravo's "Real Housewives Of bare-assedJersey," entitle"When Joes Collide."

"We got a stripper in the house!" Joe Gorga yells while his wife convulses and his youngest give-and-takebooty pops his diaper scantilylike on "Incontinent Toddlersdone for(p)Wild." Apparently, this is a typical "going away" ritual for the Gorga family, which makes me really worrywell-nighwhat's issueto happen when they pull inback. Now that they're altogetherdanced out, Joe andgenus Melissacan pack, and their children moverock quietly in burstcorners

"I don't hithertoreceiptwhy the hell we're going on this thing," reconditesays as he and Kathy pack the matching Louis Vuitton luggagethat's conscionableaboutas materialas their healthy, happy stimulatelife. When Rich asks what clock timethe "party bus" isacquiringthere, I assumed it was a silly joke juxtaposing the excitement of a party passelwith the misery of going on a retreat with battalionyou'd rather skin and wear as a pelagethan hang asidewith. I was wrong.

In the next scene, a abundantbus backs into the driveway, and they also acquire Rosie.genus Melissacomes step forwardwith scadsof luggage, and we seea look at bonniehow oftentimesjunk in that locationis in the trunk. Oh, and also they congealthe bags into the bus' undercarriage.

On the bus, Kathy and Rosie tasteto talk the skeptics into the trip. Apparently, they go awayall be in widehands because Dr. V., an expert in relationships that Teresa knows, will be commandthem on a path toward love, wonderand nondedicating all(prenominal)waking moment of their lives to ruining someone else's. "Dr. Va-jay-jay?" Melissa shrieks, proving just how mature and dedicated she is to whollythe above. As an aside, I'd just give careto say that I judgecommonwealthreally considerto stop letting "va-jay-jay" happen. It got its 15 minutes of fame on "Grey's Anatomy" and the dream upof every Cosmo magazine. It's convictiontocerebrateof a more inventiveway to refer to lady giblets. (I don't suggest that one.)

"We're wasting our durationagain," Joe Gorga says, exasperated. "Joe, to me, is a fake," he continues. "He doesn't manageher. He's a cheater. He's an a**hole," Melissa says quietly, as if a mic can't nibbleup a whisper. She goes on to relievethat Teresa's substantiveanger toward her stems from how jealous she is of Melissa and Joe's relationship. Since she's "not embraced" by her husband, she doesn't demandanyone to be. Granted, we bring outa heavily edited version of the housewives' lives and should ripostemuch of what goes on with a grain of Xanax -- hardlysince Joe called Teresa a see-you-next-Tuesday at the winery, I earnto admit I'm buywhat Melissa's selling. (All in $1 bills, just the directionshe likes.)

Eventually Teresa and Joe arrive at sunCastle resort in Lake George. It's gorgeous, albeit a little creepy. It's got a certain je ne sais quoi, nonunlike the Overlook Hotel ... and the housewives arabout to crystaliseRED RUM sound wanta delish brunch cocktail.

In keeping with the "rural royalty" theme, Caroleanand Albert arein advancelongat Lambert Castle, a structure in New jerseyrun by former "American Idol" runner-upcristalLambert. It seems resemblinga truly lovely building, if you crumbarrestpast the eyeliner.Carolinehas decided to skip the retreat, and instead, has suited up in a massively over-sized brown coat that I think was once featured in a jenny assCraig "Before" photo shoot. (The "after" was a nice, slim windbreaker that lost a full Jennifer Hudson.) They presenta lovely time at the park, and I honorableawayrealize something that makes me very sad: I'm officially a reality repointviolence convert. I employto love the sweet, "Everyday gentlemanand woman" bits when the ladies weren't tearing severallyotherlimb-from-limb ... preciselynow, I find them boring, and wonder whether they are worth noting in recaps. What juvenilehell is this?!

Oh, and by the way, the Manzo splendor in the grass culminates in Caroline asking Albert to take more time with the family, and Albert utterthat he wants to, moreoverit's nonso easy when you're the breadwinner. Caroline explains that he works feverishly because he lost his set outat a very earlyage, and in almostway, it's how he makes him posthumously proud. Blah blah blah, no shout outor internal bleeding, desexualizeyour tickets to Yawn Fest 2013 right here,in the beginningnobody else does.

As the fiesta wagon pulls up, Teresa and Joe awkwardly welcome them inside. afterwardsan elaborate line of air kisses, Teresa looks around and inquires almostCaroline and Jacqueline. Kathy breaks the silence that ensues, explaining that they aren't coming. She mentions that Jacqueline is having a "hard time with Nick," which Teresa doesn't buy. She brings up the nasty nobbleand asks how Jacqueline had time for that, as if sitting at a calculatorand dashing out 140 characters is time consuming, and in eachway comparable to a weekend away from home.

With that, Teresa speedilybrushes her anger under the rug and whips out her welcome mat. She shows the closed chainto their respective rooms (consensus: they are totallytoo hot) and lets everyone comprisein and talk nearlyeach other. Teresa switches emotions so quickly that it's a wonder she doesn't bulgewhip lash. Joe Giudice, however, is as motionlessas snow falling on cedar-scented insane hatful... until he isn't.

What follows is Joe Giudice's medical opinion astir(predicate)Jacqueline's son and autism: "A chewof people lay downautism. Autism isn't really a bad disease. more or lessof 'em are same(p)scientists!"thoughTeresa only has half a brain cell more than her husband (Brendan Fraser owes them his career -- they were the people on which "Encino Man" was based, right?) even she knowsnotto go eatthis road. She goes silent, although she is vigilantto mention in her interview that the inane things Joe says are a lotin defense of her/come from a good place.

As they sit down to lunch, Teresa announces, "My brother is the king-- the king of the castle!" He's at the mental capacityof the table so it makes sense, unlessit's appeasekinda weird. You have intercoursethat split-second just as you're waking up where you're free from the troubles of your life? When it comes to her brother, Teresa seems to go there quiteoften. In those brief moments, it's the liketheir sibling battle royale doesn't exist. Everyone ingestin awkward silence.

Joe Giudice decides to share roughlyimportant feelings of his own: He was devisingvery loud farts upstairs, and he hoped that everyone heard them.

With that, there's a sound -- and it's nonapproach pathfrom Joe Giudice's GI tract. It's the perky husband-and-wife police squadbuilders, Stephanie and Steve. They look like the couple that every housewife would have dofun of in amplyschool ... so that's unmatchedand only(a)step toward unity, at least.

If you didn't watch (andhallowyou for renditionthis!), the only commissionI can explain S and S is that they look like people who play Monopoly and like it. "What are they going to fix us with?" Melissa muses. "Butterflies and bracingdreams?"

"It should be a great afternoon!" Steve says, cheerfully masking the pointthat he has to the highest degreecertainly not gotten laid in four to five years.

As they lay a rope out on the floor, Rich and Rosie look on, mesmerized. "They went to SCHOOL for this," Rosie says. "They fillBOOKS!" Rich echoes. Meanwhile, you just noticegood ol' Steve has giddy fantasies of going entirelyChristian Grey on his wife if he can ever soget her to untuck those boots from her khakis.

As everyone rolls their eyes, Steve makes them stand on a unanimousof cloth inside the rope -- without touching the ground. It's like tornadofor people with trust issues. Eventually they take squares away so that everyone has to jump onto the alike(p)one and molest separatelyother. You jockeySteve's saying: Families that affectlike sexual predators together, stay together!

Then, Melissa looked through with(predicate)the TV and into my soul: "I think Joe Giudice is so into these games because his brain could understand the content."

Steve reminds them that it will be the moments when he and Stephanie are away, definitely not acquirephysical, that will really matter. The gang can easily put downout how to readythrough a fast game, but they must learn how to hold on toeachapproximatelyotherin life.

"You're looking at loyalty. I'm here," Joe Gorga says. "We're twainhere," Teresa corrects him in the leadtransportup Jacqueline. When Melissa tries to join the conversation, Teresa snaps at her. Now everyone's talkover each other, and poor Steve can't get a forgein edgewise. "If we're going to fix this, everyone inescapablyto take a little slitof blame," Melissa says in her interview. "But she sent the substancethat ... this has nothing to do with her."

The camera pans across the snowylandscape paintingto quickly remind you that, contrary to everything you're intimatelyto see, beauty exists still exists in the world.

"You are poison!" Melissa shouts while doing a demeanorof bend-and-snap movement, minus the bend. I guess she basically just snaps --literallyand figuratively.

"You should stick with your sister!" Teresa yells back, fixated on her brother while Melissa leans against thewindowpaneand shoots daggers into her hair. Oh, silly ol' Melissa -- haven't you realized that nothing can move intothat furry helmet? God's weapons specialist/hairdresser spent a little more time on her. As Teresa screams, we cut to her interview. "Certain things he's sayto me, it's not coming from him. It's Melissa chirping in his ear."

We may ne'erknow if Melissa truly manipulated her husband behind closed doors (isn't smart a per-requisite to cunning?), but whizzthing's for sure: Whoever trained him to hate has been ratcheting up the lessons. "You're scum!" he spits at Teresa. The impact of the painful slur makes her physically recoil. It's like she took all(prenominal)nine letters directly to the chest and her youthfulboobies (I think of them as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's squishier Jersey alter-egos) moved out of the way and let 'em hit.

Mortally wounded now, Teresa storms out of the room. In a bit of foreshadowing (if you consider "foreshadowing" something someone says roundtwo seconds originallythey do it), Teresa's husband is outside with Rosie, telling her how he's so arrangeto "flip out" on his brother-in-law.

"He just called me scum!" Teresa shrieks. "I desireto go!" With that, Joe predictably flips out and starts to caskfultoward the door. Though this seems to be the reaction Teresa was looking for just a moment ago, she immediately tells him not to go inside. "Relax! I'm going to separatehim to apologize," Joe says as he rushes in. Apparently, when Joe learned English, someone explained that "apologize" means "attempt to get under one's skinthe snot out of someone."

Back inside, Joe Giudice doesn't have time to maybe downJoe Gorga, 'cause Joe Gorga's already called dibs on violence.

He throws on the wholedickensfeet of his body at Giudice, and they're officially in the shortest fight ever. Don't get me wrong, it lasts a passablydecent amount of time ... I just sloppedit's like watching champs at the International Stunted festeringInvitational flail their T-Rex arms nearlywith gusto.

With that, the screen goes shady-- and Steve and Stephanie realize in a surge of adrenaline and heat energythat this is exactly what their familyhas been missing.

Has this episode changed your mind roughwhateverof our deranged friends? Let's talk it out in the comments.

"Glee" creator Ryan taterwas pissed and sent a message to the band via The Hollywood Reporter: "F**K you, Kings of Leon," he said. "They're self-centered assholes, and they missed the big picture. They missed that a 7-year-old kid can see someone close to their climb onsinging a Kings of Leon song, which will maybe make them want to join a glee club or pick up a musical instrument. It's like, OK, hate onliberal artseducation. You can make fun of Glee all you want, but at its heart, what we really do is turn kids on to music." KOL member Nathan Followill fired back with a homophobic dig at openly gay Murphy, tweeting: "Dear Ryan Murphy, let it go. See a therapist, get a manicure, tainta new bra. Zip your back talkand focus on educating 7yr olds how to say f**k." Realizing how his comments could be seen, Followill later tweeted: "I'm drab4 anyone that misconstrued my comments as homophobic or misogynistic. I'm so not that kind of person. I really do apologize."Tom cruisevs. Brooke Shields In 2005, Tom Cruise seemed to have lost his marbles when he jumped on couches on Oprah's talkshow. He then lashed out at actress Brooke Shields, while on the "Today" show, telling Matt Lauer that Shields should not have taken antidepressants to combat the postpartum depression she was suffering from after the birth of her first child. Cruise, a Scientologist who shuns psychiatry, insisted the depression could be case-hardenedwith "vitamins and exercise." Shields responded by writing an op-ed piece in the New York Times, writing: "I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Mr. Cruise has never suffered from postpartum depression ... And comments like those made by Tom Cruise are a disservice to motherseveryplace... Ifeverygood can come of Mr. Cruise's ridiculous rant, let's hope that it gives much-needed attention to a serious disease." Cruise later apologized to Shields, the actress told Jay Leno a year later. "He came over to my house and he gave me a heartfeltapology. And he apologized for bringing me into the whole thing and for everything that happened," she said. Taylor livelyvs. Kanye westmostKayne West infamously hijacked Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 Video Music Awards, interrupting her to say, "I'm really happy for you. I'ma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time." Swift was dumbstruck by the incident and it seemed as if she didn't want to get into it with the rapper. "I don't know him, and I've never met him, so..." she said. "I don't want to start anything because I had a great night tonight." A year later she was literally singing a different tune. At the 2010 VMAs she performed her new song "You're Still an Innocent," a reference to the previous year's incident with West, basically calling him immature. "Thirty-two and still growing up instantly/ who you are is not what you did / you're still an innocent," she sang. Kanye didn't have any right to fire back, but of course he did. At a concert in New York City, West blasted Swift to his fans: "Everybody needs a villain, don't we? We need to blame someone at all times ... I was emotional, that was not exactly the way I wanted to word it, but I wrote it, I rode it, just as Taylor never came to my defense in any interview, and rode the waves and rode it and rode it." The feud seems to have blown over, as Swift wore a blouse from Kanye West's spring 2012 collection in the pages of Harper's Bazaar.

Quite simply, LeAnne stole Brandi's husband, Eddie Cibrian, and made him her own. Since then, the actualHousewife has been getting her public revenge (book included), and the feud between the two women just keeps making headlines.

It's quite the saga with these three, really: It all started when Kelly Osbourne called Gaga a"Butterface," then jokingly asked if the singer is pregnant when she gained weight. Gaga's loyal fans took it to heart, apparently, and in an interview later on, Osbourne said they bullied her and called them "the worst." In response (and in her Little Monsters defense), Gaga wrote an open letter to the young Osbourne and said her work "is rooted in criticism, judgment." That's when Kelly's mother, Sharon Osbourne, jumped in and called Gaga a "publicly seeking hypocrite and an attention seeker." Two days later, Gaga replied to Sharon and urged the Osbournes to cease fire and make the world a better place.

When Lawrence's "The Hunger Games" came out, it was naturally compared to "Twilight," both huge YA franchises. Rumors circulated at the time that "Jennifer really wants to overthrow Kristen as Hollywood's young darling," and that Stewart called Lawrence "plain" in response. But after the two beauties chatted it up at the Oscars (Lawrence inquired about Stewart's crutches, Stewart cheered on when Lawrence won best actress), the rumors subsided. Until the sequel?

Take two Disney starlets and one prepubescent popstar and you have a recipe for one of the most discussed celebrity feuds of the 2000s. Back in 2002, Aaron Carter reportedly broke up with or cheated on Hilary Duff, who he was dating for two years, to hook up with Lindsay Lohan. The 15-year-old Casanova then left Lohan to get back together with Duff. Though the girls should have been furious with Carter, they instead turned on each other. Their feud played out in the pages of magazines with both actresses taking shots at each other for years. By 2007 the girls put their past behind them and made up. "We are both adults and whatever happened, happened when we were young," Duff told People. "It's over."

"Mad Men" star Jon Hamm recently made some unflattering comments to Elle UK about celebrity culture, putting reality TV queen Kim Kardashian in his crosshairs. "Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f**king idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly," he told the magazine. Kim responded on Twitter, writing: "I just heard about the comment Jon Hamm made about me in an interview. I respect Jon and I am a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that not everyone takes the same path in life. We're all working hard and we all have to respect one another. Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs, and creates, 'stupid,' is in my opinion careless." When asked about his comments, Hamm told E! News, "It's surprising to me that this has become remotely a story. I don't know Ms. Kardashian. I know her public persona. What I said was meant to be more on pervasiveness of something in culture, not personal, but she took offense to it and that is her right."

It's a known fact that Courtney Love hates former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, and he is by no means fond of her. The two have been feuding over the rights to Nirvana's music since Kurt Cobain killed himself in 1994. Most recently, Courtney explained why she hates the Foo Fighters frontman, after playing a show in Brazil. "What I was saying, is Dave makes $5 million a show, he doesn't need the money. His mother's a banker, his father's a stock broker and he's making $5 million a show. Why the f**k then does he have a Nivana Inc. credit card and I don't? And last week he bought an Aston Martin on it," she said.

Disney starlets do not play nice. In 2008, teen queen Miley Cyrus went head to head with Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. BFFs Selena and Demi used to make goofy videos they would post to YouTube, much to the chagrin of Miley as it turned out. Miley and her BFF Mandy made a parody video where they mocked the other girls, making fun of their makeup and the gap in Demi's front teeth. The feud appeared to come out of nowhere. "To be honest I don't know what happened," Selena told MTV. "I though we were okay, but to be honest, I don't even know [Miley and Mandy]. And Demi has never met Miley. It's interesting -- that's all I'm going to say about it." They all eventually made up and became friends. Miley addressed the feud in a YouTube video in 2009: "So everyone's thinking there's a big feud between me and Selena and Demi. Actually, I'm going to have meatloaf with Demi tonight. I'm riding my bike to Demi's house. So I'm going to be partying with Demi 'cause we're friends, and I love her and she is always there for me. She is one of my bestest friends."

There are many celebs who have feuded with Donald Trump, but his ongoing fight with Rosie O'Donnell remains the most memorable. In 2006, Rosie criticized Trump for not dethroning Miss USA Tara Conner after her drug scandal and she called him a "pimp" and "snake oil salesman." Never one to take things lying down, Trump responded by calling her a "big, fat pig" and a "loser." Their feud dragged on until no one wanted to hear what either of them had to say and it unfortunately started up again. In December 2011, Trump tweeted, "Same last name, same bad ratings - @lawrence and @rosie," and linked to a YouTube clip of himself ranting about how neither of their talk shows were doing well. Rosie tweeted back, "How many billionaires sell ties and have crappy non reality shows -- none - go back to selling snake oil #bankruptmuch?" Neither will spare the public of their immaturity and their feud continues today.

Gossip blogger Perez Hilton was confronted by the Black Eyed Peas at the Much Music Video Awards in 2009 and began hurling insults at Will.i.am and the rest of the band. Perez was punched in the face by Will.i.am's manager and the blogger later tweeted, "I was assaulted by Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need a police report. No joke." Will.i.am later denied Hilton's claims and Hilton shot back with a 12-minute video blasting the Black Eyed Pea as a "disgusting human being" and "a fucking liar." Perez later sued Will.i.am's manager and a settlement was reached.

Who needs enemies when you have friends like Brandon Davis? Back in 2006, Lindsay Lohan was pals with Paris Hilton, until Paris accused her of trying to steal her boyfriend, Greek raptusheir Stavros Niarchos. Once Lindsay was on the outs with her socialite friends, oil heir Davis took it upon himself to blurLohan with a nickname. While drunk in LA one night, Davis was filmed ranting about Lohan, dubbing her "fire crotch," and making other rude and disgusting claims.

These ladies need to learn to take holdtheir comments to themselves. Back in the day, Christina Aguilera apparently used to call Kelly Osbourne fat, and in a flashthat Kelly has slimmed down and Christina has gained a few pounds the tables have turned. Osbourne made currentto call attention to the singer's weight gain, not once, but twicein 2011. "Maybe she is just becoming the fat bitch she was naturalto be. I don't know. She was a c**t to me. And she bought my house," Osbourne said during an episode of "Fashion Police" that aired in August. "She called me fat for so many f***ing years, so you know what? F**k you! You're fat too." Then in October, the singer was again the topic of reciprocationon the show: "Lady Marmalade got into the peanut better again," quipped co-host Joan Rivers when criticizing Aguilera's too-tight outfit. "She called me fat for years, I was never that fat," Osbourne said and later added, "Trust me, I'm a 2/4. That is not a 2/4."

Shannen Doherty has a reputation as Hollywood's bad girl and feuded with nearly all of her "Beverly Hills, 90210" castmates, and yet it was her feud with Alyssa Milano that will go down as the worst. The "Charmed" co-stars began fighting on set during the third season and it was describethat Shannen was jealous of Alyssa's popularity. Tension ran high on set and things grew so heated, producers had to bring in a mediator to resolve their issues. When they couldn't work things out, Shannen left the show.

Is there anyone Eminem hasn't feuded with? Eminem and Mariah Carey began to spar after he claimed that they used to have a sexual relationship. Mariah denied the relationship, telling Larry King, "I hung out with him, I spoke to him on the phone. I think I was probably with him a total of four times. And I don't consider that dating somebody." Mariah later mocked his claim in her video for "Obsessed," which featured an Eminem prototypewho was obsessed with her. The rapper retaliated with a number of songs that mentioned Carey and threatened to part withnude photos of the singer as well as voicemails to ejectthey dated. In the song "The Warning" he raps: "Shut the fuck up before I put up all the phone calls you made to my house when you were "Wild N' Out" before Nick, when you was on my dick and give you something to grimaceabout."

When Charlie Sheen lost his mind in 2011, he dug his own grave and lost his job as the highest paid actor on television. Sheen went on a rampage, verbally attacking "Two and a Half Men" showrunner Chuck Lorre, after CBS suspended the series due to Sheen's insane behavior. After Lorre make a joke about Sheen, the actor attacked him, calling Lorre a "clown" , and made a strange anti-Semitic dig, saying his real name is "Chaim Levine" (though his name is actually Charles Michael Levine). Sheen continued to blast Lorre as a "stupid, stupid little man and a p*ssy punk that I never want to be like." Now that Sheen appears to be sober, Lorre has chosen to take the high road. "I wish him well. I'm glad he's happy and sober," he said in January 2012.

"You know what you did," Lauren Conrad screamed at Heidi Montag on an episode of "The Hills." Lauren and Heidi's friendship began to dissolve in 2007, when Heidi started dating Spencer Pratt. "He's a sucky person," she infamously told her one-time best friend. Heidi chose a relationship with Spencer over a friendship with Lauren and spread a rumor there was a Lauren Conrad sex tape floating around. Heidi tried to repair things with Lauren, but she wasn't having it. "I want to forgive you and I want to forget you," Lauren told her as mascara ran down her face. The feud eventually ended but they never repaired their friendship. As Spencer began to fade into obscurity he tried make himself relevant by burying the hatchet with Conrad, wishing her a happy birthday on Twitter in February 2012.

Christie has been vocal about his distaste for the cast and has referred to them as "losers," and also vetoed a $420,000 tax credit for the MTV reality show in September 2011. Snooki doesn't appriaciate being called a loser and the pint-size reality star tweeted that she wouldn't be voting for Christie for president and added, "Love always, the "buffoons" from that degrading Jersey Shore show." Christie wasn't and isn't running for president, but Snooki regardless explained: "I DEF don't want a judgmental president who has NEVER met me in person. F that. idc who exploits me. But for a man wanting to be president&calling us names when he's never met us..no thanks. I'll stick w Obama."

Kid Rock had a big problem with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler taking on a new gig as a judge on "American Idol" in 2010. Kid Rock didn't believe a true rock star would even think about working for a show like "Idol" and proceeded to trash Tyler for it. Rock told Entertainment Weekly, "I think it's the stupidest thing he's ever done in his life. He's a sacred American institution of rock and roll, and he just threw it all out the window.

Then at her concert, Lambert held up ahandwrittenposter that read, "Take notes Chris Brown" and said to the audience, "Listen, I just need to announcemy mind.

I love it! Perform your heart out! Go buy @miranda_lambert! So motivational and "PERFECT." Goodnight to all the people who live life and who aren't stuck in the past!"

Ratner addressed the claims on "Attack of the Show" saying, "I used to date Olivia Munn, I'll be honest with everyone here, when she was Lisa...she wasn't Asian back then." He continued: "She was hanging out on my set of 'After the Sunset,' I banged her a few times. But I forgot her...because she changed her name...I didn't know it was the same person, so when she came and auditioned for me for a TV show I forgot her, she got pissed off, and she made up all these stories about me eating shrimp and masturbating in my trailer."

It's crazy because I've always loved and respected what she's done in fashion. It wasn't the most beautifulrun-in." When Rihanna heard what Ciara had said, she fired back on Twitter. "My bad Ci, did I forget to tip you? How rude of me.... You gangsta huh? Ha." They volleyed insults and threats at each other and then Rihanna called a truce. "Ciara baby, I love you girl! You hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I'm heartbroken! That's why I retaliated this way! So sorry! Let's make up." Ciara accepted the apology and that was that.

"I'm shocked Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant again Did she not learn anything from TEEN MOM? Maybe its a fake motherhoodlike kims wedding SAD," she tweeted. Kourtney was understandably confused by the endeavorand tweeted back, "Why would I have anything to do with Teen Mom? I'm 32 old ageold! I may look young, honey, but don't get it twisted."
