Bravo Considered Axing 'Real Housewives' After Salahis' Gate-Crashing
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyMichaele and Tareq Salahi's White House gate-crashing last November -- and the possibility of criminal charges being brought against the couple -- almost drove Bravo officials to kill "The Real Housewives of Washington, D.C." Shooting was nearly finished at the time the couple breached White House security without an official invitation. "It was either going to be, we kill the show altogether or we do it with Michaele," Andy Cohen, a Bravo vice president told the New York Times. "Her story from the beginning is so intertwined with the other five that it would not have been possible to cut ...
Washington in 60 Seconds -- So You Think You Can Govern?
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyGood morning, Capitolists! As the president jets back from the Gulf Coast in time for his prime-time Oval Office speech about the BP oil spill, Congress will have its hands full with oil, wars and proposals that might bring an end to both. Here's what's happening in Washington today, in the next 60 seconds. - So You Think You Can Govern? President Obama bumps the network TV schedule tonight with his first-ever Oval Office address. The topic, of course, will be the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, but the issue will be whether the administration's efforts to avoid the blame for the spill meant ...
Next Time, Wait for the Messengered Invitation
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyLike Judy Howard Ellis, I have old fashioned values where party-crashing would-be "Real Housewives" are concerned. Though not a fan of the television entertainment programming concept called "unscripted drama," I can no longer ignore the cultural impact of reality TV. Balloon fathers, octomothers and attention junkies of all sizes and shapes have become an unavoidable part of the American landscape. Media writer Bill Carter estimated in the New York Times Sunday that over 10,000 potential reality stars have so far emerged in our culture since Survivor debuted 10 years ago. While I don't ...
Top 10 Best and Worst Reality TV Shows
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyThe flurry of posts by my female colleagues on movies and TV shows has gone Right. Over. My. Head. I have never heard of this Julie-whatever movie they are debating. What's the big whoop? And although I've seen a couple episodes of "Mad Men," I think the show is boring and unwatchable. I'm way out of my league trying to debate these TV shows that -- let's be frank -- don't have a chance in heck of being on the cover of Us Weekly. So really, why watch? Go ahead and call me superficial, low-brow, cheesy, trashy, shallow and unsophisticated; I accept all those descriptions. So I'm ...
Top 10 Reasons to Turn the Page on "Jon & Kate Plus 8"
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyEvery Friday, my reward for the week is US Weekly magazine in my mailbox. I immediately read it cover to cover, which, admittedly, with the limited text, takes about an hour. Today I skipped down to my mailbox, unfurled US Weekly and reeled back in HORROR. The cover story is once again that horrible woman Kate Gosselin for the FIFTH WEEK IN A ROW. I considered my options: Cancel my subscription in protest. Renew my subscription to "People" magazine. Then it hits me: start a petition to the editors of US Weekly to stop covering Jon & Kate Plus 8. ...
Real Housewives of DC: More Drama Than the Florida Recount
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyCocktail party chatter in Washington this weekend was all about Supreme Court nominee Sonya Sotamay...KIDDING! Cocktail party chatter in DC this weekend was really all about who will be and who should be cast in the newest franchise of the Bravo reality show, "Real Housewives." ...
