Amber Marchese: Born and raised in the great state of New Jersey, Amber is married to James Marchese and is the mother to Corbin and Isabella, and stepmother to Michael and Sebastian. She puts her family above everything else and ingrains in them traditional values. Amber graduated with a BA, then acquired a Masters in Bio-behavioral studies/Exercise Physiology from Columbia University. Cancer free for five years, Amber was diagnosed with breast cancer at 31 and attributes being a better mother, wife and person to her battle.

Teresa Aprea: Teresa, a resident of Colts Neck, NJ, is one half of a dynamic set of twins. Her twin sister, Nicole, is her best friend and together they exude positive energy, love and are always ready for a party. Teresa lives with her husband, Rino, and their son, Giovanni, 18. Teresa first married her husband Rino back in 1991, later divorced and after 11 years apart did it all over again. In her free time she helps her husband run their award-winning restaurants Angelo’s of Mulberry Street in Manhattan, and Areo in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

Nicole, fashion-forward and ahead of every trend, prides herself on looking and feeling her best. One of her biggest joys is cooking dinner at home and spending time with her family. Nicole is extremely ambitious, as she ran a family restaurant at 20-years old, and studied at St. John’s University, as well as at the American University of Rome. After her divorce, Nicole started a brand new career in private aviation and works for a premiere jet charter brokerage handling high-profile clients helping them globe-trot around the world to exotic and exciting places.

Everyone has a theory as to why Solange Knowles physically assaulted Jay-Z

Well well well. The major media outlets have let the Solange/Jay-Z video percolate for 36-48 hours, and now they’re coming up with some theories. Interesting theories. Honestly, I think most outlets were waiting to see if Jay and Beyonce would issue some kind of statement about it, and since they didn’t… well, the media has just decided to throw everything out there. So, let’s summarize.

Theory #1: Something to do with Rachel Roy.
Via People Mag & Wendy Williams: Solange and Rachel Roy got into it earlier that night, at the Met Gala. A source claims “Solange was provoked by Rachel,” and Beyonce got in between Rachel and Solange, “warning” Rachel not to speak to Solange. Rachel was married to Damon Dash, who used to be Jay-Z’s business partner. Rachel has known the Knowles women for a while. Wendy Williams had some detailed comments, alleging that Jay has a sexual history with Rachel and that Solange was simply standing up for her sister. People’s source does say: “Solange is super protective of Beyoncé.”

Theory #2: Solange was belligerent and blitzed.
People’s sources say Solange was “yelling at other people at the party.” Some witnesses say Solange had been drinking, but she was not drunk. A source told the NYDN that Solange definitely seemed “drunk and irritated” as they left The Standard. Page Six also has witnesses claiming that Solange was “clearly…on something at the party, she was drunk and out of it. The girl is crazy and prone to outbursts.” Another witness said: “She was the girl who drank too much and was behaving badly at the party.”

Theory #3: Jay-Z said something rude that completely set off Solange.
People Mag’s source claims: “Jay said something inappropriate to Beyoncé and Solange, and she snapped. When they got in the elevator, it escalated quickly the way family tensions can. It got exceptionally heated the way family moments can.”

Theory #4: It had something to do with Solange’s non-famous friends.
The NYDN says that two of Solange’s friends came to The Standard, wanting to party with all of the Met Gala people, although Solange’s friends weren’t dressed for the event. A source says: “They caused a scene downstairs. They wouldn’t leave and kept name dropping Jay Z. They were pretending they were guests of his and not hers. Management went to Julius (Beyonce’s bodyguard) and said there’s a problem.” When Jay learned of this, he “snapped” at Solange, telling her “don’t use my name.” This reportedly caused Solange to sulk and demand that they leave the party.

Theory #5: Something to do with Rihanna.
When Jay, Solange and Bey were leaving the party, Jay told his security (shared with Beyonce) that he was going to Rihanna’s post-Met Gala party and that Beyonce and Solange weren’t joining him. A source claims Solange got up in Beyonce and Jay-Z’s faces: “She said, ‘Why can’t you go home?’ and to Beyonce ‘Why does your husband need to go to the club right now?’” Jay snapped again, telling Solange: “You’re one to talk.” That was allegedly what preceded the fight, and Jay did not end up going to Rihanna’s party.

Theory #6: Solange is pissed off at Jay because he hasn’t helped her career.
This is the theory from The Daily Mail, so… it might be the least reliable theory, although I think there could totally be some element of truth (or thruthiness) here. A source claims: “Solange is so angry because Jay-Z promised to give her more help with her career and when she brought it up again the night of the gala, he told her he just didn’t have the time to work with her in the studio.” Jay promised he would help Solange but he keeps backing out, and Solange is sure her new album is going to flop. The source says: “Solange wants a major career like her sister and she’s tired of living in her shadow. She’s jealous.”

So, what do you believe? Keep in mind, you can believe several theories all at once. You can believe parts of one theory and part of another. All I can say is… it’s really starting to bug me that everyone is searching for an appropriate motive for Solange’s attack, like if we just know what was said, then Solange can be absolved. When in reality, it doesn’t f—king matter what Jay said to her, if he even said anything to “set her off,” she had no right to physically assault him like that.

Nicole Kidman in white Altuzarra at Cannes photocall: Botoxy or beautiful?

Before everyone starts yelling at me for criticizing Nicole Kidman, I’d just like to point out that last night, I made the conscious choice to ignore the Botoxy state of Nicole’s face when I was looking through some photos of her arriving in Cannes. But then everybody else saw the photos, and by this morning, multiple outlets are like, “Wow, Nicole really went overboard on the ‘Tox, right?” And she did. It’s okay to say it. You can still like Nicole AND think that she should ease up on the ‘Tox. And fillers too, by the way. The ‘Tox is in her forehead and the fillers are what’s making her cheeks look so bizarre.

Anyway, these are photos from this morning’s photocall for Grace of Monaco – the big Cannes red carpet premiere is tomorrow night. Depending on what Nicole is wearing and whether we get the photos in at a reasonable time, I might cover it tomorrow afternoon (don’t hold me to that). I’m also including some photos of Nicole appearing on Le Grand Journal last night (the black outfit). Nicole’s white dress at the photocall is Altuzarra. It’s okay. Over the past few years, she’s been doing more delicate, lacy, girly clothes – I could see Duchess Kate in this dress as well, couldn’t you? Well, Kate would have it tailored to make the skirt shorter.

As for Grace of Monaco, the film that will open Cannes, the film where Nicole plays Her Serene Highness Princess Grace… lord, there are so many controversies. Harvey Weinstein hates the director and Harvey might not even distribute the film in America. The Grimaldis are pissed off because of the Lifetime-quality storytelling. And Nicole is frantically trying to play mediator and peacemaker, issuing statements and trying to get Harvey back on her side. Hopefully the premiere will bring some good fashion, but beyond that… let’s not expect too much.

‘Gotham’ Producers Promise That The Joker Will Appear On The Batman Prequel Series

Entertainment Weekly magazine sat down with Gotham showrunner Bruno Heller to talk about one of the most-anticipated new TV shows of the fall season and in their discussion, the subject of the villainous character The Joker came up. As you may know, young versions of The Penguin, Catwoman, The Riddler and Poison Ivy will be introduced when Gotham debuts later this year but Heller promises that The Joker will appear on the show, too … at some point. Because The Joker is the greatest of Batman‘s Rogues Gallery of Villains (and, IMHO, the greatest comic book villain of all time), great care must be taken for his arrival on Gotham to be perfect. But he is coming … we can count on that.

Which Batman characters are you likely to introduce this season?
Obviously, the Penguin, Riddler, young Catwoman, Alfred. Possibly Harvey Dent. Poison Ivy. Um … and then there will be others, but I hate to — I’m so used to doing a police procedural, so I’m used to telling, “Next week he’s going to go there.” With this, it’s very much storytelling. So I would be remiss to tell you who will show up when. I will say we’re not going to skimp on giving people the characters they want and expect from Gotham. But when and how they’re going to show up is half the fun. Penguin is one of those guys that, as soon as you see him, you go, “Oh, that’s the Penguin.” It would be hard to disguise him as somebody else.

So you might stealth introduce somebody who later becomes somebody else.
Exactly. Because we’re starting way before these villains even themselves knew they were villains. Some of them started out as good guys. So there will be a lot of that.

You mentioned The Killing Joke. So you’ll bring in The Joker?
He’s the crown jewel of the Batman villains. He will be brought in with great care and a lot of thought.

Some feel Heath Ledger’s performance was so iconic it would be a mistake to try to do that character again so soon.
I’ve written scenes for Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony and Cleopatra. So while that is a serious and valid note, you can’t get into doing this without going there. That was a wonderful performance and — apart from everything else — wonderful make-up. And we should try to live up to that. It will be a different character. It’s certainly going to be more Heath Ledger than Cesar Romero. But like I say, all of these people are real people with feelings and emotions and history and parents. I just build from that.

The full interview can be read HERE. I’m hopeful that Gotham will turn out to be a great show and yes, of course, they have to introduce The Joker … maybe as the cliffhanger at the end of season 1 of the show? It’s silly to think that you can’t do the Joker as a character again because of Heath Ledger‘s portrayal. Hell, we’ve already got a new Batman in Ben Affleck even tho everyone is still pretty much in love with Christian Bale‘s performance as the Dark Knight. These characters are iconic and the can find new life over and over again. I just hope they do it right. I’m excited to see how Gotham will turn out. I can’t wait for its debut this fall.

Basement baby was walking from her underground prison, jewelry shopping with Jay-Z today dismissed.

Jay-Z have to suffer from the concussion he suffered after getting his ass spanked in an elevator by crazy basement apartment his sister-in-law because TMZ says that already, he and Keller-Baby in a high-end jewelry business in New York City, where she bought each a set of brass knuckles, so that she could finish the fight began at the met Gala shopping went. NO! According to TMZ, they were just browsing:

Our sources that where they were seeking in connection with the store say, Jay, and as long as Mr. were flawless, for women jewelry for about 20 minutes. You told us the pair showed no signs of armed and considered gems with Mr. flawless itself.

She looked, but nothing tried on. She left the store without buying anything. Jay and as long as she spoke not much inside in the store... pretty much just quietly scans.

She said much of the load. Hmm, question me, why? Maybe, because they followed strictly instructed, she received from Beyoncé back in the room re-Beyducation before she left for their publicity stunt errand. Step 1: Go in. Step 2: long, just so long as it would take for an employee of Mr. flawless, TMZ call, with the positive acknowledgment of a cellar sighting. Step 3: leave quietly. And when they have time, step 4: buy something nice Mama Bey (must complete step 4 or no. cellar stale bread for dinner).

But enough about Beyoncé desperate attempt to damage to control; I want to know more about this Mr. flawless character. It sounds fancy and/or may be rich. Is he related to Mr. peanut? Wear it also a cylinder and Monocle? How did he get the name Mr. flawless? Wait a minute... Perfect? Really Beyoncé? Is this the best, what where you could come up with? Looks like someone has been watching Mrs. Doubtfire.

‘Gotham’ Producers Promise That The Joker Will Appear On The Batman Prequel Series

Entertainment Weekly magazine sat down with Gotham showrunner Bruno Heller to talk about one of the most-anticipated new TV shows of the fall season and in their discussion, the subject of the villainous character The Joker came up. As you may know, young versions of The Penguin, Catwoman, The Riddler and Poison Ivy will be introduced when Gotham debuts later this year but Heller promises that The Joker will appear on the show, too … at some point. Because The Joker is the greatest of Batman‘s Rogues Gallery of Villains (and, IMHO, the greatest comic book villain of all time), great care must be taken for his arrival on Gotham to be perfect. But he is coming … we can count on that.

Which Batman characters are you likely to introduce this season?
Obviously, the Penguin, Riddler, young Catwoman, Alfred. Possibly Harvey Dent. Poison Ivy. Um … and then there will be others, but I hate to — I’m so used to doing a police procedural, so I’m used to telling, “Next week he’s going to go there.” With this, it’s very much storytelling. So I would be remiss to tell you who will show up when. I will say we’re not going to skimp on giving people the characters they want and expect from Gotham. But when and how they’re going to show up is half the fun. Penguin is one of those guys that, as soon as you see him, you go, “Oh, that’s the Penguin.” It would be hard to disguise him as somebody else.

So you might stealth introduce somebody who later becomes somebody else.
Exactly. Because we’re starting way before these villains even themselves knew they were villains. Some of them started out as good guys. So there will be a lot of that.

You mentioned The Killing Joke. So you’ll bring in The Joker?
He’s the crown jewel of the Batman villains. He will be brought in with great care and a lot of thought.

Some feel Heath Ledger’s performance was so iconic it would be a mistake to try to do that character again so soon.
I’ve written scenes for Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony and Cleopatra. So while that is a serious and valid note, you can’t get into doing this without going there. That was a wonderful performance and — apart from everything else — wonderful make-up. And we should try to live up to that. It will be a different character. It’s certainly going to be more Heath Ledger than Cesar Romero. But like I say, all of these people are real people with feelings and emotions and history and parents. I just build from that.

The full interview can be read HERE. I’m hopeful that Gotham will turn out to be a great show and yes, of course, they have to introduce The Joker … maybe as the cliffhanger at the end of season 1 of the show? It’s silly to think that you can’t do the Joker as a character again because of Heath Ledger‘s portrayal. Hell, we’ve already got a new Batman in Ben Affleck even tho everyone is still pretty much in love with Christian Bale‘s performance as the Dark Knight. These characters are iconic and the can find new life over and over again. I just hope they do it right. I’m excited to see how Gotham will turn out. I can’t wait for its debut this fall.

Awww, How Cute – Baby’s First Pony Ride

“Ugh, I can’t believe I have to carry this little shit around on my back all day. Couldn’t I be sent to the glue factory instead? I don’t care if I get moldy carrots for a week, I’m going to throw him the first chance I get.” – That pissed off-looking horse.

Just like most little girls his age, Justin Bieber is at that stage where he’s gone horse crazy, and after begging and pleading with his Mom and promising to put away all his My Little Ponies and return all the Saddle Club books he borrowed from the library and make his bed every day for two weeks (and because he could use some cheering up after getting booed at the Clippers game on Sunday) she let him ride real-live horses in Toluca Lake, CA with a couple of his closest friends and bodyguards. I hope someone brought a camera; it’s a big day in a little boy’s life when he’s finally old enough to graduate from the coin-operated pony ride in front of the grocery store.

All jokes aside though, where was PETA when that little shithead climbed on top of that poor horse? Forcing a horse to carry Justin Bieber’s smug baby-douche ass up and down the dusty trail should be considered animal abuse. Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the ponies?!?

Here’s more of Baby Bieber looking like the 3rd runner up in a Vanilla Ice look-alike contest at the County Fair:
