3 Ice Cubes

  Credit: Bravo The season 13 trailer for the 'RHONY' is here and the timing could not be more perfect! Right on the heels of the Tinsley Mortimer/Scott Kluth breakup , we need some excitement from the New York ladies and trust, this preview does not fail. Though last season was a bit of a snooze, Leah McSweeney , in her sophomore year, definitely delivers, The newcomers also seemingly show up to school OG Ramona Singer on manners and Sonja Morgan's drinking continues to be a heavy issue. It is time for fun and a bit of insanity. Don't miss it when the ladies return on May 4th only on Bravo!

In fact, the last newcomer was Tinsley Mortimer in season nine because Barbara Kavovit was just a "friend of" for season 11, not holding an apple. For season 12, rumors were swirling OG housewives Ramona Singer and Luann de Lesseps would be out on their behinds and after the reunion, no one was seemingly going to miss the high horse Countess. Now, this same Countess revealed the truth behind the cast shake-ups...and it looks like it has nothing to do with her or the Singer Stinger. Barbara will not be returning, though it was de Lesseps who introduced her to the cast. Luann spoke with Michelle Collins on SiriusXM to spill the tea and dispel other casting rumors, most prominently that her ex-husband Tom D'Agostino's ex-girlfriend, Missy Pool, was in the running to join the series per good friend, Ramona. Yes, as you may have seen over the past few sea...

photo courtesy of flickr.com Very few things keep us up at night, here at Three Ice Cubes. Okay, that's a lie. Instagram stories, text messages, loudly chewing and snoring cats; but those are just minor. What about the truly plaguing things in life? Like the lingering questions old episodes of "The Real Housewives of New York City" brings up? The whole Housewives franchise is on Hulu and that being our favorite, it is fun to go down memory lane but then it gets us to wondering: whatever happened to Sonja's assistant, Connor? He just randomly disappeared after season nine along with almost all of her interns like Alex from season eight who was always confused with being her daughter! And one of the most pressing questions from season nine, since that's the most recent RHONY season on Hulu: what happened to Bethenny Frankel's pro hockey player boyfriend? You know, the one who appeared on the season finale and had to take his tooth out to eat a corned b...

  photo courtesy of bravotv.com No reason to hold back here at Three Ice Cubes because that is no fun and let's face it; on reality TV, no one holds back their feelings, hence why it has become one of the biggest guilty pleasures to take the world by storm. Part one of the RHONY Reunion was full of "she said/she said" but it was so delicious, of course we were bursting at the seams for part two. Sadly, it was a snooze fest until Bethenny (HBIC) and Carole finally went at it and Carole told host, Andy Cohen , what was up!

  photo courtesy of bravotv.com We here at Three Ice Cubes never hold back and this is especially true for me, Mandi, the brainchild behind the site. I believe in being honest, fun, entertaining but staying true and after part one of the RHONY Reunion, which aired last night on Bravo, I have so much to say. If you followed @3icecubes on Twitter during the episode, you saw that we just went for it and that is how it should be when it comes to some of these ladies. As aforementioned, there was a question of how far fans were willing to push the limits in regards to Bethenny Frankel since her longtime love, Dennis Shields, recently passed away from a drug overdose.  The question became "should we kick her when she is already down, even if she has done the same to others?" The answer is a firm "yes" because this reunion was filmed on July 17th while Shields passed away in August. Meanwhile, the bulk of the actual season was filmed from October of 2017 through e...

photo courtesy of bravotv.com It's the season 10 reunion for RHONY and though there has been much build-up and excitement, a series of unfortunate events have occurred that may make tweeting less than desirable for part 1 this evening. Prior to the reunion, fans were seemingly excited that Luann de Lesseps had ditched Tom and got the help that she needed in rehab to emerge this confident and secure butterfly. Soon, that confidence became arrogance and the Countess ended up back in rehab.  We soon learned the cause of her reentry into the program was a suit filed against her by her ex-husband, the Count and their two children, Victoria and Noel. Because she was in rehab, she would be unable to attend the reunion which is ironic because, in season nine, Lu and Tom waited until right after the reunion was filmed to file for divorce. It seems as though if she does not want to discuss something, she finds a way around it but in these dramatic fashions. But Bethenny Frankel'...

  photo courtesy of bravotv.com Season 10 of "The Real Housewives of New York City" is beyond underway and it is one of the best yet. In case you've missed any of the drama and excitement, here is a quick-cap, mixed with a bit of snark. Let's do this in a New York minute! Bethenny is all about helping Puerto Rico which is great; anything we can do to help, I fully support. However, there are times where she can be a little bit of a braggart about what she is doing as if we should bow down. I respect it, I appreciate it but I would love it so much more if she would just do it and shut up. She and Carole have a serious divide in their friendship and it seems to be that way with B and most of the women. She brought Dorinda to PR with her but it was almost a $hitshow before they went on the trip and later was even more dramatic when B stomped into the Berkshires weekend and demanded they find a specific giant Nutcracker for Bryn's Christmas present. Dorinda d...

photo courtesy of bravotv.com It is over for "The Real Housewives of New York City" star Luann de Lesseps and husband, Tom D'Agostino and we are just so shocked. Ha, not really as this was a doomed marriage from the start. Let's recap: Tom was first flirting with co-star Ramona Singer back in 2007 then went on around five dates with her a few August's back. During this time, he Tom spent a decade as friends with benefits to  Sonja Morgan , another housewife from the franchise. It was Dorinda Medley , who joined the cast in season 7, that set up D'Agostino and Luann, whom fell madly in love. It did not even bother the Countess that one week into her engagement and a few nights before her grandiose engagement party on a yacht in Palm Beach, Tom was off making out with some random chick at a hotel.

The "Real Housewives of New York City" starlet and wannabe singer wed D'Agostino Saturday evening, which was also his 50th birthday, in a three-day wedding, which took place in Palm Beach, Florida. A few housewives were in attendance such as Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, Cynthia Bailey and Dorinda Medley, whom was also a bridesmaid. That only makes sense as she introduced Tom and Luann and it only makes sense that several of the other women from the New York City franchise were not invited as they were all against Luann marrying Tom after it came to light that he had cheated on her.  Tom also had a short fling with Ramona Singer prior to dating Luann and had a ten-year rendezvous with Sonja Morgan , who was a real trooper when all of this was going down. No matter what, Luann was dete...

photo courtesy of bravotv.com Did you miss the season eight finale of " The Real Housewives of New York City" and cannot stop kicking yourself? Never fear. We are here to catch you up before the epic reunion that looks like it might be better than the whole season which was phenomenally awesome!

When it was announced that there was a new girl on "The Real Housewives of New York City" scene, I was nervous. After Carlton Gebbia and Joyce Giraud joining RHOBH and basically destroying it, it was easy to be nervous. But have no fear as Kristen Taekman is a keeper. She is just a genuine person who can make fun of herself. In a Cameron Diaz way, she is the gorgeous funny girl. And I love that she knows that sleep is number one...even though she's a mom. She's just a doll and I think she should relocate to Beverly Hills or Orange County where we really need a fun personality!

They seemed like an odd coupling all along and now, it seems that the coupling is no longer. Ramona Singer from "The Real Housewives of New York City" has filed for divorce from husband Mario of 27 years. Allegedly, Ramona caught her better half with his girlfriend in their Hampton's home; no bueno Mario. Ramona released a statement upon announcing they were separating earlier in the week that said: (This is) "a personal and private matter for our family" and would like "privacy during this difficult time." Watch the drama play out on the latest season of the show starting March 11th on BRAVO ! *How anyone stayed with Ramona this long is beyond me!
