Kim Zolciak Evicted & Replaced On The Real Housewives Of New York By Porsha Stewart With Big Poppa Lee Najjar Arrested

That is a picture of Lee Najjar you are looking at.

Lee Najjar is the former "Big Poppa" of The Real Housewives of New York City's Kim Zolciak.

I do not know if this is a mug shot of Mr. Najjar, or not. I do know that Kim's ex was arrested, in Atlanta, for failing to appear in court when he ignored a July 5 court date after he'd been charged with a $75,000 fine for violating a city ordinance that had something to do with not properly maintaining the storm water system at one of his homes.

Najjar was eventually released from custody.

Meanwhile "Big Poppa's" ex, Kim Z does end up getting evicted from the house she leased with her latest husband, Kroy Biermann. We saw this coming on the first episode of the new season of The Real Housewives of New York City.

What did not see a hint of, on the first episode, was Kim's mid-season eviction The Real Housewives of New York City.

Apparently Mrs. Biermann became difficult during filming, annoying the other housewives, but not in an amusing good drama for TV sort of way.

We saw a good example of Kim being annoying to a fellow housewife when we saw how rude she was to Kandi while Kandi gave Kim a tour of her new home.

Worse than being a bit of a bitch, more often than not Kim did not show up at all, likely due to the stress of being evicted whilst hugely pregnant with her latest reproduction.

So, part way through filming the latest season of RHONY, Bravo pulled the plug on Kim Zolciak and replaced her with a new housewife named Porsha Stewart.

I do not know if Porsha Stewart is any relation to Rod.

First X Factor Live Show a Noisy Train Wreck along with Khloe Kardashian's Nipple Exposure

I did not notice it, but, apparently many other viewers did, that being the element of Wednesday night's first live show of this year's X Factor, getting the most buzz was host Khloe Kardashian's semi-exposed nipple, barely hidden under a sheer purple blouse, under which Khloe opted to wear no underwear in the form of a bra.

Methinks FOX needs to pull the plug on The X Factor. It ain't working. It's embarrassingly bad, yet sort of entertaining in a watching a train wreck sort of way.

The ridiculously over the top, over done productions that explode around and overwhelms the singers is so incredibly tacky and eye aching.

Willie Jones looked sort of shell shocked at the explosion of flash and dance surrounding him.

In the picture above that is Paige Thomas standing between Khloe and Mario Lopez. What she is wearing is a perfect example of how far off the good taste track The X Factor is.

Taking a tour of the Internet this morning I see the reaction to The X Factor trainwreck is almost universal. Below are some examples of what viewers are saying....

Despite all the flash Simon takes pride in showering on this show, every acts is coming off very amateurish and the result is more like a bad syndicated variety show than a talent competition with a $5 million contract as a prize.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gawd this show is terrible. Anything that makes American Idol look amazingly riveting in comparison needs to die. I know the show has to distinguish itself, but I still really hate the Over  The Top production for every performance. Most of them can barely sing anyway so the wacky costumes, backup dancers, strobe lights, etc just exaggerate how awful and embarrassing they are. It all just seems so manufactured and fake, and the show feels manufactured and fake enough without all of that noise.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

What a craptastic first show. Britney has horrible comments. Demi's bangs are distracting. Simon's plastic surgery and weight gain are disappointing. LA Reid is almost as bad as Randy Jackson.

Okay that gives you a small inkling of what some viewers were thinking about Wednesday first live X Factor show.

One thing about this supposed live show that I noticed is it does not seem like a live show. There are a lot of pre-produced segments. And the over the top visually noisy productions that dwarf the singing also do not seem live, even though, apparently, they are.

I was surprised that I did not find Khloe Kardashian to be a bad host. She was a bit of a trouble stirrer at times. She was sort of the best part of the show.

The weirdest part last night, to me, was Simon Cowell's comment after the performance by one of the groups he mentors, the boy band called EMBLEM 3, who got the pimp spot as last act of the night.

Of EMBLEM 3 Simon said, "Remember this night. You are seeing a future superstar here."

Apparently Simon Cowell is losing his mind, which would also explain his bad mistake of bringing this badly produced train wreck to American TV screens.

And paying the "winner" 5 million dollars.

The Real Housewives of New York City's Star Countess LuAnn Delesseps Has Become a Jewelry Hawker

The final episode of the latest season of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City was called Lost Footage.

Lost Footage seems a misnomer to me, since the footage was clearly never lost. It would be more accurate to call the episode Previously Unaired Footage.

The Previously Unaired Footage turned out to be fairly amusing. Creepy Aviva Drescher got the comeuppance she should have gotten during the reunion regarding her bad behavior in demanding yet one more Ramona apology for allegedly kicking Aviva's juvenile dad out of Ramona's charity event.

And then there was the Previously Unaired Footage of Countess LuAnn. The scene with LuAnn and her two kids eating pizza was sort of both sad and amusing. It was like LuAnn did not like spending time with her kids, rushing her boy to eat his piece of pizza, then taking the pizza away from him. The boy was not happy. I thought he was about to smack his mom.

And then there was the awkward scene with LuAnn meeting with some guy she had engaged to help her start up a business. Only LuAnn did not seem to have the slightest clue about what she wanted, except in the most generalized way.

Somehow since that scene was filmed LuAnn has managed to get some sort of business up and running. LuAnn is not selling travel accessories like she indicated she was interested in doing in the scene from the Previously Unaired Footage. Unless LuAnn's idea of travel accessories is jewelry.

LuAnn has a website where she sells her wares. The domain name is shopluann. I don't know why it is I find that funny. That is a screencap from LuAnn's Website you see above.

In the About Us section of LuAnn's website I learned a few surprising tidbits...

Countess LuAnn Delesseps, the star of Bravo’s #1 hit show The Real Housewives of New York City, has a great eye for fashion. Having worked as a model in Europe and marrying into the French aristocracy, she understands what it takes to look your best. Luann also learned early on that looking amazingly stylish can be affordable and guilt free. She knows first-hand that class is a state of mind, not a birthright. 

LuAnn is the star of RHONY? And The Real Housewives of New York City is Bravo's #1 hit show? I had no idea. France has an aristocracy? Have the French been informed of this?
