The term “Bridezilla” is typically used to describe brides-to-be in wedding planning mode, but apparently this behavior can extend beyond the big day. A wedding guest recently shared a Facebook message she got from the bride, not thanking her but calling her out for not giving more money. Seriously. The guest, Tanya, and her date gave $100 to the newlyweds, which earned a stinging rebuke from the bride (not pictured below, but that’s how we envision her). Tanya shared the story with The Huffington Post: “Last weekend I attended a wedding of a not-close friend with my boyfriend and as a gift we gave $100 cash. This was generous considering my financial situation. I just finished university with $40,000 in student loans, and have only found part time (12-18 hrs per week) minimum wage work. I gave as much as I could and attended to show my support. Today I received a rude, condescending message from the bride via Facebook messenger: ‘Hi Tanya, how are you? I just want to know is there any reason or dissatisfaction of Mike’s and I wedding that both you and Phil gave $50 each? In terms of the amount we got from you both was very unexpected as a result we were very much short on paying off the reception because just for the cocktail + reception alone the plate per person is $200 (as per a normal wedding range with open bar is about) and Mike and I both have already paid for everything else including decor, photography, attire etc and didn’t expect we had to cover that huge amount for reception as well. As I know you both live together and work, so I did not see any reason for that amount, when it comes to your wedding hopefully you’ll know what I mean. I hope for the best as from what we receive is what we will give back. Anyways, good luck on everything. [all sic]’ It’s infuriating that she had the nerve to make assumptions about my finances, and assume that I or my boyfriend had an extra $400 lying around. Those $100 were hard-earned and she didn’t show an ounce of gratitude for what she did receive. That money didn’t grow on a tree. If she had a minimum gift requirement, she should have specified it… or asked everyone for income statements before inviting them.” Yeah … To call this “inappropriate” would be the understatement of all time. Thank goodness we weren’t invited to “Mike’s and I wedding,” are we right THGers?

Viva Barcelona! Desiree and the men are in Spain, where there’s sure to be a whole lot of bull, if you know what we mean. Will Drew and Kasey’s plan cause Desiree to send James home? Or will they find themselves rose-less? You can just go read The Bachelorette spoilers or play along with our THG +/- review system! Desiree Hartsock loves everything about Barcelona, especially the churches, and says it’s the perfect place to fall in love. She’s hopeful that she’ll fall “completely,” which is better than halfway? Fresh off of helping Ben get ousted, Michael has jumped on the Anti-James Train. It’s pretty ridiculous. Minus 5 . Drew gets the first solo date card, his first solo date with Desiree. He doesn’t plan to address the situation with James unless there’s time for it. Something tells me there will be time for it. Desiree says that her relationship with Drew has moved more slowly but they’re friends, which is a great basis for a relationship. He jumps right into kissing her and gets that out of the way probably in hopes of keeping himself out of the dreaded Friend Zone. And then he just keeps kissing her every chance he gets because he’s so “crazy” about her. Drew’s hero is his dad who is a recovered alcoholic. He gets a little teary when he tells her about his dad and she gets goosebumps hearing the story. P lus 4 . Desiree says she just trusts Drew. But he hasn’t tattled on James yet, so there’s that. At dinner, she thanks him for opening up to her and he says he’s overcome with emotions which are running crazy. He ushers her away from the dinner table and they try to outrun the cameras for a heated make-out session against a wall in an alley. Plus 40 because HOT. Desiree calls Drew strong and emotional and says he has many of the qualities she’s looking for and then gives him a rose. And then he ruins the moment by telling her about James. Minus 40 because buzzkill. The next day, Drew fills Kasey and Michael in on his conversation with Desiree. Kasey is worried about balancing his feelings for Desiree with what he knows about James. Michael’s worried about his sweatband but has a list of questions ready for cross-examination, I’m sure. Juan Pablo is in his element on the group date, which is a soccer match against one of Spain’s womens’ teams. The guys seem to think they’ll have this game in the bag and completely discount the girls’ ability to play soccer. The trash talking is ridiculous. But not as ridiculous as James “playing” goalie. Dear James, GOALIE. Not GOALPOST. Don’t just stand there! MOVE. Minus 8 At the group date cocktail party, Kasey’s ready to confront James. All the guys are ready to confront James. Except Chris who goes with Desiree to her room where she tells him how athletic he is and then reads him a poem she wrote. Barf. Minus 2 . Chris and Des apparently have their own love scale. Kasey and Michael decide to confront James while Des spends time with Juan Pablo. They ambush him and ask him about his statements that if he made the final four, he could become the next bachelor. He’s shocked. Either because they think he said this or because they know he said it. While that’s happening, Brooks and Des talk about how they’re emotionally invested and in a good space. He’s glad he’s not downstairs for the conversation with James. Since part of me is Team Brooks, I’m also glad he’s not downstairs. Plus 7 Michael jumps into Attorney Mode and James starts yelling. Chris tries to shush them and it doesn’t work. James starts wagging his finger around and denies what Kasey and Drew heard. Vehemently denies. Minus 5 Michael says he sounds like he’s auditioning for the Jersey Shore. James leaves the room. Desiree asks James to stay behind and talk to her and tells all of the guys that she’s not handing out a rose to anyone but she’ll walk them out. Plus 3 for being a good hostess. She feels “blindsided” and decides to grab the bull by his horns to get her answers. He tries to interrupt and she just keeps talking. He tries to put everything on Mikey T. He puts everything on the guys and says they’re only trying to ruin what he and Desiree has because they’re jealous of his connection with her. He starts to cry. She starts to cry. He says it’s tough. She says it’s tough. She needs the night to process and he’s emotionally exhausted. And now I’m exhausted watching the faux-drama unfold. Minus 10 . Michael’s still wearing his Attorney cape while they sit around talking about James as James is riding up in the elevator. They didn’t expect him to walk back in the door. The next morning, James is sitting on the roof all by himself and Zak is preparing himself for his one-on-one date with Desiree. She’s feeling depressed, which means Zak is the perfect guy to go on a date with today. He’s always happy. Plus 10 . They’re going to spend the day doing “artistic” things. So descriptive. They take a sketch class and end up drawing each other. He apparently studied at the Picasso school of Des drawings but it makes her laugh. Plus 12. Their second model is male. And nude. And Des says “I feel like I do heads bigger than they’re supposed to be.” And THAT is the line of the night. Plus 15 . And let’s go ahead and give Zak another Plus 25 for those excellent faces when the model dropped trou. He gets another plus 20 for dropping his OWN trou to make her laugh even more. Zak and Des eat dinner in a cave. It’s actually a wine cellar, but it’s also kind of a cave. He wants a relationship just like his parents have. They’ve been married for over 30 years. But he also wants to continue to experience adventures. He believes his need to explore is why he’s still single. His joy and infectious spirit gets him the date rose. Plus 4. They make out in the pathway that leads back out of the cave. Back at the suite, James asks to speak to Drew. James keeps saying that what he said was that if he made it to the top four and Des cuts him, the worst thing that could happen to him would be that he becomes the next bachelor. Uhhh, James? I’d say the worst thing that could happen to you is that you go home and continue to live a life of obscurity and no one ever knows you were ever on this silly show, but hey, I understand words and apparently you don’t. Drew tells him that even having that thought means that he’s not really here for Des, and while I don’t necessarily agree with Drew, I don’t think James is really here for Des. So. All of the guys except James are sitting around chatting and James walks in. He sits next between Juan Pablo and Michael on the couch and Michael bristles. Brooks scoots over to give Michael a little more room. Minus 5 Des shows up and takes James out to finish their chat from the night of the group date. She believes she needs to send him home but also believes they had something and needs to talk to him about it. Go with your gut, Des. Go with your gut. He talks non-stop for what feels like an eternity and says she’s beautiful and he’s there to fall in love with her and all she hears is everything he’s had an entire day to rehearse. He says this has been hard and he feels more alive than he has and she starts to cry. He does the man thing and says “please don’t cry.” BECAUSE THAT WORKS, DUDE. Minus 8 They start to laugh and she leans into him and they’re sort of snuggling and all the wind is sucked out of Drew’s sails as he sees it. Chris asks James what he and Des talked about like he doesn’t already know. James laughs and says “exactly the situation that occurred.” Except, you know, probably not exactly. Chris is not happy at all. Not at all. You know the two coming out of this smelling like, uh, roses? Juan Pablo and Zak. The two of them have said nada about this entire situation. Plus 9 . Finally, it’s time for the rose ceremony. Finally. No cocktail party. Just straight to the good part. Zak and Drew both received roses on their one-on-one dates. Joining them to continue on to the next leg of this journey are: Chris Brooks Michael And with that, Kasey, Juan Pablo, and James head back to reality. Juan Pablo thought he and Des had a connection and he’s sad. There are legitimate tears. Drew and Michael are more excited about the fact that James is gone than they are anything else and Michael actually says “case dismissed.” Michael, Des? Really? Weird.

The third time’s the charm for Tamra Barney! She has the groom. She has the bling. And if the ladies have anything to do with it, she’ll have the dress, too. And Vicki will get some shocking news about Brooks thanks to Lauri, who went away to marry George but has come back again to start trouble because apparently her new life was boring. Silly housewife. Let’s catch up with them now with our THG +/- recap! Tamra meets Eddie at what will eventually, hopefully, maybe be their fitness studio. He’s set up a candlelight dinner on a card table. How romantic! Plus 8. They were supposed to be open weeks ago and there’s still no floor. Eddie’s so not interested in hearing Tamra talk about her Spanx. So not. Fake it, Eddie. Fake it. He asks about the Alexis-Gretchen drama and about Gretchen backing out of dress shopping and says that Gretchen’s being childish. Really, Gretchen’s just being a friend and knows that if she goes she might fight with Alexis and doesn’t want that for Tamra. Plus 3. Heather has another table read! She’s going to read for a guest starring role on Malibu Country . Terry was excited when he heard this time and didn’t crack a joke! Hooray, Terry! You really can teach an old dog new tricks! Plus 5 . Lauri and Vicki show up at Tamra’s and they’ve brought coffee. Lauri thinks it’s funny that Tamra’s getting married for a third time when Tamra cracked jokes about Lauri’s third wedding. Tamra’s previous wedding dresses were maternity dresses. The fact that this one isn’t is a big deal. Plus 8. Lydia believes that “marriage is forever” and says that about Tamra’s pending wedding to Eddie. Except this is Tamra’s third wedding. This one will totally stick! The ladies in the limo discuss Cheeseburger-gate and Slade. Lydia’s not a fan of him at all and calls him a 12-year-old tool. Eh, Plus 12. Gretchen wears her engagement ring from Jeff and Lydia sees it immediately upon Gretchen getting into the limo. Vicki thinks it’s Gretchen’s way of upstaging Tamra. It’s a ring, Vicki. That’s it. Heather and Alexis are at the bridal store when the limo arrives. They’re more than just cordial. They’re nearly chipper. Plus 3 Tamra wants to plan her wedding around the dress. The men helping her try on dresses have nothing but dollar signs in their eyes. Gretchen’s kind of stand-offish because she doesn’t want a repeat of the ladies’ night at the gym to happen in the bridal shop. She’s the only one who seems to be thinking about that. Heather pops the cork on a bottle of champs and Tamra comes out in the first dress. While she’s changing into the second one, Vicki tells Alexis that Gretchen wasn’t coming at first because Alexis was coming. Minus 12. Tamra stood up for Alexis, though, so Alexis plans to thank Tamra for that. She’s so done with Gretchen. So done. Alexis follows Tamra into the dressing room so she can thank her for the invitation. Tamra says that she wanted Alexis there and so she was there. Then in an interview, Alexis delivers the best line of the night. About Gretchen: “When it comes to Gretchen and I, I just wish sometimes Gretchen would eat some of her own makeup so she could become pretty on the inside again.” After Alexis leaves, Lauri says it might be Gretchen next time and Lydia says it might be Vicki. Vicki says it won’t be her. She and Brooks went to dinner and ended everything. His love language is quality time and Vicki can’t give him that since he’s not welcome in her home while Briana and Troy are living there. Lauri says Briana and Michael must have an intuition kicking in and she wants to talk to Vicki at some point. And then she just launches into the information she has about Brooks. Minus 26. He’s dating Lauri’s daughter’s friend. Where dating means probably having sex. With a 21 year old. A 21 year old is probably having sex with Brooks. All the bleach in the entire United States isn’t enough to purge the image of Brooks having sex with anyone from my brain. But a 21 year old?? Minus 75. I have a major case of the heebie jeebies right now. And the dry heaves. Lauri doesn’t have any concrete evidence about the probably sex. She just knows he met the girl at a poker party and he was throwing Benjamins at her. Probably Vicki’s Benjamins . Minus 14. Vicki’s kind of devastated because she still has feelings for Brooks. (Why? He’s a disgusting leech! Who probably had sex with someone his daughter’s age!) The girl Brooks has probably had sex with has made porn videos before. And Lydia says that talking about this feels extra dirty because they’re in a room surrounded by white wedding gowns. Gretchen’s come to life now that Vicki’s been knocked down a peg and Alexis has left. When Tamra comes out in The Dress, they all start to cry a little. Heather makes a toast. Tamra says the dress costs $10,000. Yes, 4 zeroes. This one better be worth it. Tamra wants to take a picture of herself and the ladies, and Vicki has to walk away and cry for a minute. She can’t get herself together. Lydia and Lauri go to console her and Lauri says she feels like she’s always the messenger. Well, Lauri, that’s because so far you are. Minus 8 . After shopping, the ladies head to dinner. Tamra finds out that Brooks broke up with Vicki. Then Lauri fills her in on the probably sex Brooks probably had with an under 21 year old girl. Heather asks if Vicki really needed to know the information. Lauri would want to know. Lydia says she would want to know. Heather wouldn’t want to know. Vicki comes back to the table and they order tequila. Plus 9. After a visit from the chefs, Heather tells the ladies about her possible recurring guest-starring role on Malibu Country and Lydia says she’s gone from “Fancy Pants” to “Fancy Outfit.” Gretchen told Tamra that she had been offered a spot on Malibu Country and Heather says that the casting director denied ever offering Gretchen anything of the sort. Oops? Tamra’s pissed about catching Gretchen in this lie. Heather says there’s a chance she’s colossally confused, but Vicki calls her a liar about half a dozen times. Lydia feels squicky talking about Gretchen when Gretchen isn’t there and Lauri feels like this is a giant case of pot meeting kettle for Vicki given all the lies she’s told. Tamra’s also upset that she opened up to Gretchen about her life and now Gretchen’s lying to her. Bad form, Gretchen. Bad form. EPISODE TOTAL: -87 SEASON TOTAL: -190
Katherine Jackson Allegedy Revealed Husband Joe’s Cheating Ways At Grandson’s Wedding It’s no secret that Joe Jackson, father of the late Michael Jackson, has been a rolling stone throughout his 63-year marriage to MJ’s mother Katherine with jumpoffs galore and even an illegitamite child, but the rumor mill is swirling with talk that ish hit the fan something serious recently at Taj Jackson’s wedding. Mama Katherine allegedly became fed up with Joe bragging about ‘all that he’s done for the family’ during the wedding reception and decided put his dirty-dog ways on blizzy blast in front of everyone. via Globe Magazine Michael Jackson’s furious mom Katherine allegedly exploded on her cheating husband Joe at a family wedding – ordering the love rat to leave the celebration and return to his 50-years-YOUNGER mistress say sources. “Go back to Vegas and your Asian bimbo!” Katherine, 83, raged, according to a source. “I don’t want you here! I’m done!” The shocking meltdown reportedly took place at the wedding of their grandson Taj, with stunned guests attending the event at the Jackson family’s Encino, Calif., mansion. “Katherine’s just fed up with Joe and his lying and cheating ways,” says the insider. “She’s put up with his antics for decades, but she just couldn’t hold back any longer. The blow-up came after Joe strolled into the wedding boasting that HE was responsible for all the family’s success. “He was bragging, ‘All this is because of me. You should be grateful for everything I’ve done for this family,’” says the source. “His comments flipped a switch in Katherine, and she just went off and let him have it for about 10 minutes. “All the raw emotions and deep hurt she has stored for years came gushing out.” Joe stayed at the bash celebrating the nuptials of Tito’s 39-year-old son with his beautiful bride Tayana, but he and Katherine had little to do with each other after that. If this is true, we’d say mama Katherine was well with in her rights to go H.A.M. on Joe after putting up with his creepin’ ways for all of those years. 63, to be exact! SMH.

We don’t know her name. We don’t know her dimensions. We don’t know what she looks like. But as Kim Kardashian negotiates the most lucrative deal she can make before revealing more information about her daughter takes a few private days with her newborn , Kris Jenner appeared last night at the Daytime Emmy Awards and gushed over the addition. “We’re all good… and extremely happy and thrilled for the new baby,” Kris told HLN’s A.J. Hammer. “She’s doing great and she’s beautiful.” Kris Jenner on Kim Kardashian Baby Earlier yesterday, Khloe Kardashian also spoke out for the first time as a new aunt.

The major milking going on right now within this family involves how to best exploit a two-day old.
The wedding of Taj Jackson and Tayana Jackson was a major family affair, with one notable exception: Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris Jackson. The Sunday nuptials of Taj and Tayana took place at the family’s Hayvenhurst home, and “was like a family reunion,” says a source inside the wedding. Taj Jackson is the oldest son of Michael’s brother Tito, and the older brother of TJ Jackson, who in 2012 was named co-guardian of MJ’s three children. One of whom, Paris Jackson, was conspicuously absent Sunday. “No one said a word about Paris,” an E! source says, adding that the troubled teen “really wanted to come but they wouldn’t let her out of the hospital.” “I think everyone was trying to block it out and just enjoy the wedding. You wouldn’t know anything was going on, except that [Katherine] looked sad.” “She just didn’t look her normal, happy self today.” The reason for that is very much obvious. “She’s optimistic Paris will get the help she needs. She doesn’t think Paris realized at the time how serious the consequences of her actions would be.” “The hospitalization has hit Paris hard that this is serious.” Meanwhile, Paris’ brothers, Prince and Blanket, “are very well adjusted. You wouldn’t know anything was wrong. They were hanging out and laughing.” “Prince’s girlfriend was there. He didn’t leave her hip the entire night. Blanket was really outgoing, but he only talks to the people he’s close with.” Considering recent reports that Paris and Prince do not have the same father , we’re glad to hear that the focus was on having a good time on this day. Besides Prince Michael, Blanket and Katherine, other well-known guests included Jermaine Jacksun, La Toya Jackson, Tito Jackson and Joe Jackson. Also in attendance were Omer Bhatti and Kris Jenner, who was “happy” and “looking fabulous” following news that Kim Kardashian gave birth to a baby girl.
Tamara Ecclestone (and new husband Jay Rutland) on the Silver Angel Yacht in St. Tropez (6/13) After spending north of $15 million on her wedding last weekend at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, spoiled little socialite Tamara Ecclestone is now lounging on the Silver Angel Yacht off of St. Tropez, which only costs $600k a week to charter. Honestly, I might as well have typed that last sentence in Russian, because none of that makes sense to me at all.
