The “Real Housewives of New Jersey”, and one  Puma Running Shoes in particular, continue to astound with a toxic mixture of obliviousness, self-righteousness and massive entitlement. Two cases in point: Teresa Giudice making a play for diamonds for her tenth anniversary mere weeks after filing for bankruptcy, and Ashley Holmes pitching a fit because her parents won’t like, get over the fact that she assaulted Danielle Staub. I mean, it was just her hair extensions! It wasn’t, like, her actual hair!

Jillian’s debut: Danielle’s friend Cynthia comes over to plan Christine’s sweet 16. Christine is not into the party, but then, she says, “I came up with the idea of donating the Puma Outlet Store I earned at the sweet 16 to a charity” Pray tell, how does one earn money at their own party? Getting, yes. Earning? Maybe her mother can answer that question. Kidding. Nice gesture. Jillian writes songs, and Danielle wants her to perform one at Christine’s party. She starts to sing one, and I can’t bring myself to critique it. She’s 11 and has Danielle Staub for a mother. She has enough crosses to bear. Jillian stops singing after a couple of lines and starts crying. “She was just in a mood,” Danielle says. “Artists get into moods. Whatever she’s feeling is just going to make her performance that much stronger.” Jillian is an artist like Gia is an actress. Just sayin’.

Can Kim G. be trusted?: Jacqueline Laurita tells Caroline Manzo about her run-in with Kim Granatell. “I don’t hate her. I don’t think she’s evil. I just think she’s a people-pleaser.” Caroline counsels Jacqueline to keep her distance from Kim G. so Danielle doesn’t get wind of anything that she can use against puma women shoes in the upcoming court proceedings. They rail about Danielle, and why she can’t any empathy for Ashley when Danielle did stupid things when she was a kid, and blah blah blah, we’ve heard this all before. Caroline and Jacqueline also talk about the fact that Danielle doesn’t know that Kim G. is friends with Jacqueline, which is sure to send her over the edge … just in time for next week’s episode.
