• The Week That Was: Cat Killings and Reality TV Make Us Question our Religion

  Former celebri-priest and confessed sex-haver Father Cutié became Lay Minister Cutié this week and joined the Episcopal church so he could marry his girlfriend. Though, he's not the first to change faiths in the name of love. The Cat Killer struck again. Once we catch this guy (gal?), the most poetic justice would be to feed him to Cuban tigers. A Miami man won 'a billi' from Fidel and Che, and his lawyer says he'll actually get the money.

• The Week That Was: Kimbo Slice and Danielle Staub Should Probably Take Turns Beating Up the Cat Killer

  via Planet-MuDwyane Wade's former business partner has been talking crap about him to anyone who would listen, so Wade had no choice but to play defense and file a libel suit. The details of the Real Housewives of New Jersey's Danielle Staub's torrid early years in Miami just gets weirder and weirder: first it was revealed she was dating a columbian drug lord with a penchant for kidnapping, then her ex-husband claimed she provided some services of the escort variety for Don Johnso

• Real Housewives of Miami?

  I don't know how Bravo is ever going to top Real Housewives of New Jersey. How do you do one better than a show that climaxes with a forehead-challenged Italian woman shouting, "You were stripping!

I guess considering that most of NJ's Danielle Staub's dirty past went down in Miami, Bravo figured there most be some ladies still in residence that are equally as bonkers.Lesley Abr

The book, written by her ex-husband, claimed she was a stripper and coke fiend involved in a Colombian cartel-related kidnapping that led to her arrest.

• Danielle Staub Comes Clean on Housewives' Reunion

  BravoThe Real Housewives of New Jersey ended as wonderfully mysteriously as it started, with questions still left unanswered, the lines of relationships still left murky, and even a new scandalous plot twist or two added during the last few minutes of the reunion. But at-least Daniel Staub, the former model who's younger years in Miami involved entanglements with a drug lord, an arrest on kidnapping an cocaine charges, and some celeb mingling, got to finally set the record straight.&nb

• Miami Social Debuts to Dismal Ratings

  via BravoTVIn April, the LA Times wrote this about Miami Social: "It is the most vapid, foul, awful, self-satisfied group of people ever assembled in the entire world, and it will be a smashing success." Well, they were right about one thing. Thankfully, they were wrong about the "smashing success" part. Social's premiere drew only about 648,000 viewers. That, according to the Hollywood Reporter, is about 57 percent less than The Real Housewives of New Jersey, which
