On the MTV documentaryTrue Life: I’m a Textaholic (premiere date Nov. 5, 2011), Kristin Raeon was featured to tell the story of her texting addiction. The basic storyline of the show was that her constant texting was ruining her life, causing her to have problems in school, and ultimately ended her marriage. Kristin was shown going a birthday trip to Panama City with her husband Steven Brooks. They went out drinking, and to to shock and dismay of the viewing audience, Kristin immediately let a guy buy her drinks, exchanged numbers with him, and then ran back to tell her husband about it. Kristin got a lot of backlash about this depicted behavior, but she tells starcasm.net exclusively that all wasn’t as it seemed.

If you’ve been tuning in to the 2nd season of VH1’s docu-series Mob Wives, and apparently many of you have, you certainly noticed new addition Angela “Big Ang” Raiola.
She’s more outspoken than the other cast members (what a statement), lives up to her large nickname and even larger lady lumps as she likes to joke about and seems to fit right in with “the lifestyle” of the New York City Mob scene. Turns out that “Big Ang” should fit in because girl is connected not only through blood but through business dealings and just her everyday living. Raiola rolls with it so I though I’d key you in on her connections to “the lifestyle” and why you see her frequently getting respect from the peeps on Mob Wives.
On A&E’s treasure-hunting reality series Storage Wars the second-most exciting moment is when they cut the locks of the abandoned storage units and the doors go up, revealing the mysterious contents inside.

Renee Graziano is back with Hector Pagan ex-husband Hector Pagan Jr. (a.k.a. Junior) and the father of her son AJ (Anthony John). Hector Pagan Jr.
Last year Junior Pagan was rounded up in a major mob bust, leaving Renee devastated. She briefly got back with her ex-husband, but left him after she found out he was seeing other women.
On tonight’s episode Junior wanted to spend time with Renee in the six months he had while he wanted for his sentencing for the last bust. He told Renee that her brush with death during her plastic surgery nightmare scared him because he didn’t want to lose her. When she asked if he didn’t want to lose her because he was still in love with her, or because he loved her, he replied “both,” which made her break down. Renee replied “I’ve been waiting for this for year. For years I’ve been in love with you, only you.”
As further proof that reality shows can be educational as well as historically significant, the second episode of Thee History Channel’s new series Cajun Pawn Stars features a rare recording purported to be from 1952 and featuring rockabilly/rock and roll/country piano legend Jerry Lee Lewis – two years prior to when historians previously thought Jerry Lee cut his first demo. Goodness gracious… Great balls of fire!
Charles Grant’s girlfriend Marlo Hampton is making an appearance on the Real Housewives of Atlanta this year, but she didn’t get cast in a top spot.
Hampton, who’s been arrested seven times, made quick friends with NeNe Leakes, who was romantically linked to Charles (and who says that they “had a drink together” a long time ago.)
Our pal Michelle Brown at Straight From the A has been serving up the dish on Marlo for a while, and she’s revealed a new development. Marlo’s first arrest was in 1999 for felony Aggravated Battery / Great bodily harm with a weapon. According to Straight From the A, she slashed a woman’s face during a fight with a man.
Everyone knows Scott Disick from the Pop Culture Royalty Kardashians, as Kourtney Kardashian’s partner, baby Mason’s father, (and as American Psycho Patrick Bateman lookalike) but Scott’s family is also involved in luxury resort development and fractional real estate.
It appears as though Jersey Shore‘s curly-headed walking six-pack known as “The Unit” is in a bit of a “situation.” The Unit (real name Jonathan “Jonny” Manfre, 32) was arrested back in July when Seaside Heights Police found him in possession of a white powdery substance that turned out to be Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic sometimes used as a date rape drug. He has since been charged with felony drug possession and faces 3-5 years behind bars if convicted.

Last night the world, or at least the millions of peeps who tuned into the season 5 premiere of Jersey Shore, got introduced to The Situation’s Guido-BFF, The Unit. His big splash other than being a mix between Mike and Pauly D with the curly blow-out was getting into it with Snooki. Well The Unit ran in to the paps probably not by accident and had a few choice words for Snooki and then bragged on himself. Ahhhhhh, he should fit in just fine.
“See these panties? 25 thousand dollars.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newbie Dana Wilkey was more like Vuh-Dana Silky (that was for you Andy Cohen) last night as she left Lisa Vanderpump’s SUR Lounge looking to be twenty-five thousand sheets to the wind. After stumbling about with the assistance of a pal (no, not her mysterious fiance John Flynn) Dana flopped into her car Britney Spears style, giving photogs (and now us) a Wilkey’s Secret fashion show.
Tammie DeRamus may be the daughter of Silver Pawn’s Jimmie “Big Daddy” DeRamus but the Cajun Pawn Star brunette knows just about as much in regards to the business and could sell sawdust to a lumber mill. I thought I’d do a litttle profile on the woman who is a pawn store lifer and runs the day to day operations of Silver Dollar Pawn and Jewelry featured on The History Channel’s Cajun Pawn Stars.

(Make sure you have your virus protection turned on!)
Looks like Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s ab soul mate featured on Jersey Shore Season 5 Jonny “The Unit” Manfre has out-situationed his ab situation. But “The Unit” got his nickname because of other endowments, namely, as he told MTV’s Remote Control Blog the “mini-baseball bat in my pants.” He’s previously made press for being arrested at the Jersey Shore house this July for possessing “white powdery substance.” No one’s wrangled up his mug shot, but he was led away from the Shore house in handcuffs. The drama surrounding his arrest will probably be covered later this season.

The History Channel has been extremely mum about their Pawn Stars southern spin-off Cajun Pawn Stars.
