Disgusted Mom Speaks Out About Breasty Pun Shirt, Lives in Fear of Terrifying Mob Wife

Jay Hathaway · 10/15/15 02:50PM

One brave mother is speaking out about the latest critical threat to American children’s “impressionable young minds.” I mean, of course, a shirt with two bees in ghost costumes, the caption “Boo Bees” emblazoned across the chest. Despite the obvious peril such a salacious garment presents to our nation’s little girls, the anonymous hero mom is being careful not to speak out too loudly, because she’s afraid Big Ang from Mob Wives might find out and have her whacked.

Lunchtime Poll: Big Ang, Yay or Nay?

Rich Juzwiak · 07/09/12 11:20AM

Last night, VH1 premiered its Mob Wives spin-off Big Ang. For the uninitiated, the titular star's real name is Angela Raiola and she is basically what would have happened if Russ Meyer had a laboratory that allowed him to build actual women and one of them went severely awry. I think she is the campiest personality mainstream U.S. pop culture has experienced since Madame. Her affect amounts to that of Emory from The Boys in the Band with his brain scooped out and replaced with Baby Sinclair from Dinosaurs. During the premiere, Ang repeatedly told us how much everyone loves her. It's in her theme song, even. She is at this point an overgrown child who's been told that she's been cute several thousand times too many.

The Best Moment from the Mob Wives Reunion Special

Two weeks ago, Mob Wives ended its first season with—what else?—a knock-down, drag-out fight between man-sharing former friends Karen Gravano (daughter of Sammy "The Bull") and Drita D'avanzo. And while their tussle was inevitably rehashed on tonight's Wendy Williams-hosted reunion show, it wasn't the best part of it.

Tonight, Mob Wives wrapped up with—what else?—a fight. And although the season-ending throwdown didn't involve our favorite, Renee Graziano—instead, Drita D'Avanzo and Karen Gravano got into it over whether or not Drita started dating Karen's ex (now Drita's husband) too soon after Karen broke up with him—it was nonetheless satisfying. You know, if girl fights are your thing.

It had been a couple weeks since Staten Island's Finest graced our TV screens, so watching tonight's new Mob Wives was like welcoming an old friend back into our home—just like frequent fighter Renee Graziano did when she invited her prison-bound ex-husband to shack back up with her.

On this evening's edition of The Real Housewives of New Jersey meets The Sopranos, resident hothead—and our favorite, obviously—Renee Graziano held a dinner party for her fellow mafia princesses. And as has come to be expected, all of the women came to blows before they even had a chance to finish their appetizers. Because they're classy! Here's some footage of the carnage.

On last week's installment of Mob Wives, resident hothead Renee Graziano—who routinely forgets that her reign as a "Mob Princess," much like the 1980s, are long over—had a total freakout when her mafioso ex-husband, Junior, was busted by the feds. This caused Renee to question whether her lingering ties to La Cosa Nostra were worth all the trouble. Tonight, she vowed a change.

On tonight's episode of Mob Wives, Renee Graziano was woken up early in the morning with the news that more than 100 mob associates—including her ex-husband and the father of her son, AJ—had been arrested in a giant raid. Naturally, she reacted to the news with utter hysterics.

Last week, VH1 gave us quite a gift when it premiered Mob Wives, which is sort of like The Real Housewives of New Jersey, except it's even trashier and features mob women who aren't shy about mentioning the association. Needless to say, things were intense.

Mob Victims Not Happy with Mob Wives

Adrian Chen · 12/22/10 07:33PM

Mob Wives is a new VH1 reality show, which follows the female counterparts of imprisoned murderous mobsters like Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano. Unsurprisingly, relatives of Gravano's 19 victims aren't happy. Maybe VH1 should give them their own reality show?
