Hey Gasmii, I can finally announce it!! I was about to explode, but the press release got out just in time. On my spare time away from the Gasm, when I’m doing stand-up comedy, or writing on a show…I produce reality TV (Yes, I’m like a Jamaican–I have 10 jobs). So, my newest show that I helped produce is THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MIAMI!

It wasn’t supposed to air until later this year, but Bravo pushed The Real Housewives of New York until later this Spring, and are now putting The Real Housewives of Miami in its place. So the official airdate is February 22 at 10PM ET/PT on Bravo. Contrary to the leaks online, we don’t have a tranny housewife. She makes a cameo in the background in 2 episodes, but that’s about it. So there you have it, Gasmii!

Ready to meet the women? (from the press release):

NUP_140292_0406.jpg

Lea Black: Deeply loved, occasionally uncompromising, but universally respected, this Texas native is leaving an indelible mark on Miami. Married to one of the top criminal defense attorneys in the country, Roy Black, and raising their 9-year-old son, Lea has a reputation as a community leader. She raised money for President Barack Obama during his 2008 presidential campaign as well as many other local Florida politicians, and spends a majority of her time working towards the success of her own beloved charity.


NUP_140292_0469.jpg

Marysol Patton: Miami native Marysol Patton is one of Miami’s most sought-after women both socially and professionally. Divorced 10 years has allowed her to put all energy into creating and running one of the premiere public relations firms in town, the Patton Group. Armed with her bedazzled iPhone and a hot female staff, this PR maven definitely knows how to throw a party for her A-list clients. When Marysol’s not working, she finds time to hang with her mother Elsa, a character in her own right.  Elsa considers herself a “seer,” not a psychic and she’s a hot commodity amongst A-listers looking for spiritual guidance.


NUP_140292_0124.jpg

Adriana DeMoura-Sidi: This Brazilian bombshell is a full-time mom and a highly respected art curator who is always on the go. Coming off a traumatic divorce, Adriana wasted no time meeting her new fiancée, Fredric. Still her relationship is always on the rocks, as Adrianna’s flirtatious ways and fiery personality seem to get her in trouble and leave her peers gossiping.


NUP_140292_0168.jpg

Alexia Echevarria: This “Cuban Barbie” holds the pulse of Miami’s Latin culture.  As the executive editor of Venue Magazine, Alexia spotlights the latest fashion trends as well as up-and -coming Latin film and TV stars.  Alexia loves to spend time at her Miami Beach home with her husband Herman, and admits she is at times more of an older sister than a disciplinarian to her two sons from a pervious marriage.


NUP_140292_0255.jpg

Cristy Rice: As a Miami native who is beyond proud of her roots, Cristy’s sassy Latina flair is evident in everything she does. Recently divorced from NBA superstar Glen Rice, Cristy has entered a new phase of her life, being single and living out loud. When she’s not out dancing at night or dealing with relationship drama, Cristy’s life is jam-packed with being a single mom to her three children and running her own clothing store.


NUP_140292_0375.jpg

Larsa Pippen: This wife of NBA superstar Scottie Pippen shares the unofficial title of “Hottest NBA Wife” with her friend Cristy Rice. A snarky Lebanese beauty, Larsa boasts that she’s successful at everything she does, including playing wife and mother to her four young kids. When she’s not busy turning her three little boys into star athletes, shopping for her one-year-old princess, or firing nannies, Larsa is happy to spend a little time on herself.

I’m going to post the sneak peek in the next post. And, thanks for letting me shamelessly plug!

It all starts February 22nd at 10PM ET/PT on Bravo.

Here’s a funny interview with the girls…I just had to post in the meanwhile:

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    Well, I’ll say this for Miss Andy–no one in broadcasting will ever reach his level of creativity. How ever does he keep coming up with these ideas?

    Why do they keep hiring divorced women?! The title of the show is HOUSEWIVES! Still, 4 out of 6 ain’t bad to look at… ;)

    I’m soooo done with the Housewives franchise! Why dont they do a Real Housewives of Syracuse, and watch me and my girlfriends have Facebook sniping because we never leave the house cause all it does is snow 9 months out of 12! Camera’s watching me pull my underwear out of my crack and shiver – think of the drama! The suspense! It can’t be anymore boring than all of the rest of the Housewives have become!

    Congrats Nads! I’m always up for a new group of “wives”, kinda intrigued with the latina angle and the scenery of Miami (f’ing freezing here, any shots of beaches will make me happy)

    thanks @whoochile!!! I’m praying it does well. I headed story on the show, and became supervising producer on it. it was a challenging one, but fun! You will love Elsa–the lady that says “she’s a witch,” on the sneak peek (in the next post). She’s the mother of one of our housewives.

    How exciting! Congrats on being part of the show, and I hope we get some inside scoop. I think I’m gonna hate that old looking broad with the crappy hair. Yay!

    Coincidence that the RH franchaise and the Kardashians sisters (whatever combo they’re currently doing) can’t share the same city at the same time?

    I’m pretty excited for this show. Congrats, Nads…yay!!

    I’m interested in seeing how the latina angle plays out. Bravo won’t be happy until they’ve given women from every demographic something to be embarrased about, so latinas, you’re up! :)

    I’m intrigued to se the ‘witch’ in action. Is she Cubana? Does she practice Santeria? Ooh..I hope we get to see some Santeria come into play. This is Miami! Psychics are so….west coast.

    I’m obsessed with anything housewives-related so I’ll be watching. From the previews it looks like a funny show. I could use that after the Whatever Happened to Baby Jane reenactment on the Beverly Hills Housewives.

    Congrats Nads! I’ll be watching. I love Miami, one of my fave cities. I don’t know, that witch lady looks scary. Wonder what the two NBA wives think of the basketball wives, tehehe.

    Sorry, no more HW for me until the OC starts. But I’ll probably sneak a peek at the recaps. Who is going to recap, btw?

    @marijai, I think flipit is doing it. OC is supposed to be super good this season!! I got the scoop, but haven’t seen anything yet. I’m dying to see it! All them broke bitches…well most of them…

    Ah, Nads, if only you could have thrown a competition element into it, I’d be there. If there’s no risk of getting eliminated, where’s the reward?

    thanks everyone for your words! I sincerely hope the series plays out. fingers crossed!!! Have a great weekend all! and @itchy–the women are quite competitive with each other, but sadly there’s no competition element to it. :(

    I need to see more of the ‘witch.’ Her plastic surgery is just too much. Looks like her doctor gave her the Jocelyn Wildenstein “special”…for a discount!

    The older blonde, Lea Black (?) looks like the standout villain. “Oh, you’re engaged, honey? I didn’t know your man needed a green card!” Ouch! It could go either way..either she’ll be the Hero because you know how much people like the girls “who tell it like it is”, or she’ll be villainized as a stuck up bitch. I’m excited to see how it all plays out!

    Congrats Nad’s. You must be very talented because there are probably thousand’s of people that wanted your job. Way to go.

    That said, I will try it on for size. I live in Fla. and for many yrs So. Fla. so they seem to me same old ,same old.. I suspect and hope that your sense of humor lends a bit of parody as flipit indicated during his podcast with Bside.

    I think I like Lea best so far because I like the way she put her hand on her hip. The other’s were so generic!

    Again, congratulation’s.

    TC, Robin

    @Robinez – thanks!!! Yeah, this series isn’t going to be as dramatic as the others, but it’ll be way funnier. They were an interesting group of women to say the least!!
