The Housewives Have Kicked Off... Jaaaysus. Where to start folks? TV3's Dublin Housewives hit our screens this week and boy has it delivered. We were expecting this to be a pseudo glammed-up champagne soaked extravaganza of fakeness and false lashes. Sure, we got that. And so much bloody more... Danielle Meagher We really weren't looking forward to the Dublin Housewives show, but how wrong were we... It's EVERYTHING we hate about Dublin and the silly social scene but it's also EVERYTHING we secretly love about Dublin and the silly social scene... It's like an analogy of your average Saturday night out in on the town where all the girls look lovely and they're all best mates at the start, fast forward to 4am and they're all streeling each other up and down Grafton Street by the hair... Danielle Meagher As the show progressed this week we've seen the made for TV relationships between Dr Botox Danielle Meagher and the rest of the cast slowly unravel to the point where the good doctor and Virginia Macari took lumps outta each other on TV3’s Midweek Show last night... Hate to admit it, but we're hooked folks. Tippi Hedren We caught-up with the notorious Danielle Meagher at Today FM this week where she was either fighting her corner or digging a deeper hole for herself on the radio... Eitherway, Dr Dani has single handedly turned what was going to be the worst bit of TV ever created into total gold... We want more. There better be another series on the cards. Newton Faulkner Other guests at Today FM included Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds' actress Tippi Hedren looking fab at 82 and super talented English singer-songwriter Newton Faulkner... We also spotted models Rozanna Purcell and Daniella Moyles swanning about in the sunshine on our travels carrying their 'Chopped' lunch. Show offs. Rozanna Purcell and Daniella Moyles So there you have it folks, we hate to say it but Dublin Housewives is must-see viewing but probably for all the wrong reasons... They should have just called it The Virginia & Danielle Show... Priceless. Danielle Meagher

Jimbob – Dublin June 01, 2012 - 16:55 Ray you big wally! Stop editing my comments... Jimbob – Dublin June 01, 2012 - 16:03 Crazy stuff... and hilarious when she gets caught lying all the time. Donna June 01, 2012 - 12:40 @"Gerry", keep calm! The men in straight jackets are on their way to you. You hold on in there. gerry – usa June 01, 2012 - 02:34 Donna, its a rainy night here in Florida, so I am going to get a bottle of bubbly, light the fire (mood lightening), and watch the Fabulous Ladies of Ireland. And wish them huge success, and all of life's blessings, (for they are not without their problems), for the less fortunate, I wish hope for the future. the only certainty is; this too shall change. God's blessings to you and yours. Good night. PS maybe you're friend on housewife's is also one of my very dear friends gerry – usa June 01, 2012 - 01:20 It's because I know more than one of the ladies, I am interested. In fact two of them are from the Southside, one from the Northside, one from Cork and the other from Armagh. I am sure you're a lovely person Donna gerry – lgbbro@aol.com June 01, 2012 - 00:38 Actually I know more than one of them. Beauty is skin deep, ugly goes clean to the bone. "just saying" Donna – South Dublin May 31, 2012 - 23:06 Gerry, if you are really man living in the USA then it's seems rather strange that have you such an interest in a tacky Irish reality show? Do they not have interesting TV shows around your part of the world for you to watch? I actually know one of the stars of Dublin Housewives extremely well and she is absolutely lovely and a wonderful mum. Thanks for asking. gerry – usa May 31, 2012 - 22:45 Why not Donna. You seem open to slagging the others off and I am sure you don't know any of them. Just an observation Donna May 31, 2012 - 21:23 Gerry, obviously I'm not going to start naming names here but I do know two successful celebrities who were asked to do this and they were insulted to be asked. I'm sure there were many more, because why else did they change the name from Southside Housewives to Dublin Housewives? It's because no Southsider would do it. gerry – usa May 31, 2012 - 17:59 Donna, what celebrities were asked and refused to do the housewives show? Donna May 31, 2012 - 16:49 Danielle is a dentist not a doctor. My flatmate does BOTOX and she is a nurse who did a training course in injecting BOTOX, I think it was a two-day course. I think the programme just shows the true colurs of the, ahem, 'stars'. Nobody remotely talented or intelligent would ever agree to do a reality TV show. Lots of genuine celebrities were asked to do it and they all said no. donna – dublin May 31, 2012 - 15:57 I agree with CLyons so true Kelly May 31, 2012 - 14:15 Good point Jimbob. Is she actually a qualified doctor? If not then she should not parade herself as one. That would be false representation. Ruddiger – Winterfell May 31, 2012 - 11:57 That Housewives muck is beyond laughably bad. Nice boots Roz!!! CLyons – Dublin Zoo May 31, 2012 - 11:10 Couldn't do it showbiz, watched a few mins and had to switch over. I know I said I would but Im sorry to say the tripe had to be switched off! What did I miss guys? Nothing? Anyways the future DH of Dublin will easily be Salpa, Vogue, Moyles and Purcell, with Michelle McGrath giving the odd walk in part in the background. Oh and Tiffany Stanley and Hazel Whatsherface serving them their skinny lattes, smiling and hoping for some form of recognition from their idols. Jimbob – Dublin / Monty Carlow May 31, 2012 - 10:10 "Doctor".... She was a "Dentist".... james – dublin May 31, 2012 - 01:26 Tippi Hedren is class!! the other girls look kind of trashy SHOWBIZ.IE – Recommended Links: May 30, 2012 - 23:56 www.tv3.ie www.todayfm.com Leave a Comment * Your name * Your email address (will not be published) Your location Remember me ? ?
