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.

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.

Congratulations to Ashley Danielsen, older sister of Teen mom star Farrah Abraham, who made the announcement a little while ago that she is 11 weeks along and has a due date of June 29! Actually, Ashley might be a good choice for a reality show because she is no stranger to drama, having made headlines last September by reportedly getting into a “boozy brawl” with Farrah and then tweeting in August of this year that her boyfriend had been taken to jail after punching her in an altercation.
