When I met Nick Nittoli he was about 7 or 8 years old. I was a kid myself, only a teenager, so I really can’t even recall the exact year it was. His mom was dating my older brother at the time and they brought over Nick and his older brother to meet our family. Eventually, his mom and my older brother got married and so they all became a part of our family. Then Nick’s little sister, my niece (and she’s my Goddaughter too) was born. Nick was always a sweet, rambunctious, mischievous, hilarious, and charismatic kid. He always...
The Real Housewives of Malibu?!? @BravoAndy @Bravotv @BravoPR
On May 12th a casting call on Craigslist went out saying that Producers of a ‘Malibu Housewives’ show are looking for Malibu women to join their cast. They described the show as an ultra stylish docu-soap. Hmm, could this be the next set of “Real Housewives” to join the popular Bravo franchise? Or is another network trying to compete with Bravo’s gold mine idea? My bet is that there will be a ‘Real Housewives of Malibu’ introduced to the world by next year. Perhaps this is the replacement for ‘The Real Housewives of DC’ which was cancelled after just one season.
April Krantz, a.k.a “The Crazy Coupon Queen!”
Never thought you could get paid to go shopping? Well that’s what happens when you shop with coupons in hand! As long as you can master the tricks of the trade, it is very possible for one to save as much as 90% off their food bill! Yes, I did say 90%! I can’t lie, it can be a difficult feat, but once you get acquainted with all the “rules” that follow with couponing, you’re on your way to banking! In this blog, I will touch base on how to get started, what to look out for, and ways to...
Bethenny Frankel Is A Branding Genius! @Bethenny
From one mom who is building her brand to another mom who has already conquered hers, Bethenny Frankel is a savvy business woman and mompreneur that I truly admire. The press, as well as many bloggers like to focus on the controversy surrounding the she said/she said war of words between Bethenny and her mom Bernadette Parisella. Or they like to put the focus on the very public falling out between Bethenny and her former bestie Jill Zarin. However, I believe that Bethenny needs a little more attention paid to the brilliant ‘Skinnygirl’ Brand in which she is currently turning...
When Life Has Other Plans…A Personal Story of Mine.
If you personally know me, then you will know that I am an absolute control freak and possibly a bit OCD too. I’m not controlling over other people, I just like to have full control over what I do in my life, but sometimes life has other plans. If you follow me on Twitter (@MichelleRivera5…shameless plug) or Facebook, or just on this blog, then you will know that I just had a serious health scare. If you don’t know what I’m talking about then please read my last blog entry to catch up. After finding a lump on my neck...
I Have A Swollen Lymph Node…..
OMG! It’s the last day of February and I have not done a new blog entry at all this month and by the time I post this one it will already be March 1st! I am so sorry to all of my readers. I don’t want to make any excuses, life just threw me a strange curve ball this month and I fell a little off of my blogging A-Game, okay I fell completely off of my blogging A-Game and really it’s probably more of a B-Game to begin with anyway. To make a long blog longer, this is...
Pregnancy Goes Viral In Hollywood?
It’s being called the “Hollywood Baby Boom,” but in my opinion it’s the “Hollywood Baby Explosion!” Is there something in the Cristal because it seems like pregnancy has gone viral in Hollywood? Today a celebrity baby bump is all the rage and announcing your preggers when you’re a celebrity is a lot bigger (pardon the pun) than announcing your latest movie project. 2011 has barely begun and People Magazine has already featured 23 celebrities who are expecting babies and 2010 wasn’t lacking in the baby mill either! It kind of makes you wonder, is having a baby a more chic...
(@TheEllenShow) Ellen DeGeneres: The Princess In Waiting.
With the arrival of 2011 something else has arrived upon us as well, and that is the much anticipated Oprah Winfrey Network, a.k.a. OWN. Yes it has finally launched, and although “The Oprah Winfrey Show” will come to an end on September 9th, 2011, we all know that Ms. O is far from retiring her career as she has this new baby to tend to. However, what will Oprah’s estimated 42 million viewers a week do without her popular syndicated TV talk show? Oprah is undoubtedly the queen of daytime television and she is also one of the most influential and...
The Power Of Bieber Fever And His Fans Like @BieberSoCal Who Helped Bring Him There!
Bieber Fever, have you caught it yet? It seems to have become an epidemic amongst teenage girls everywhere! However, teenage girls are not the only Justin Bieber fans out there in the world. As a matter of fact, Johnny Depp has recently been reported as contracting Bieber Fever, when he was photographed backstage of a Justin Bieber concert with singer Avery on Saturday, December 18th in Miami, Florida. Apparently the A-List actor had a song request too, so while Justin was on stage he reportedly said, “Johnny Depp wants to hear ‘Baby’,” and so of course he sang it. So...
E! Host Giuliana Rancic Pregnant!? (Maybe A Baby?)
Okay this may be a long shot because as of now there are absolutely NO rumors out about this and absolutely NO sources which have confirmed it either, however could E! News Host Giuliana Rancic be pregnant? Call it wishful thinking on my part because I have followed her inspirational story about her struggle to get pregnant; and like all of her fans I was heartbroken for her when she finally did get pregnant, but then miscarried at 8 weeks back in September. However, tonight as I watched E! News I gasped when I saw Giuliana. No she didn’t look...
