I don't know if they really are dentures. I was just being a smart ass. But she does always sound like she's got a mouth full of crap when she talks and it has always reminded me of the way Carol Channing used to sound in those denture commercials back in the day. |

Oh, GAWD_ I'm going to defend Tree:) I remember her mentioning "Fabellini" before the publication of her first cookbook- she was modeling "Skinny girl margarita" but she called it her "skinny" Bellini. But I DO think the other housewives get invited to "slap a label" on other alcohol (ie. "wines by wives", Vicky's vodka...and now Sonja says she's coming out with a sparkling wine). I think now probably some alcohol manufacturers are trying to capitalize on the "Skinny girl" thing- though Kathy's red-Velvet crap looks like swill. |

I think Juicy may have made a stink/request that they start pronouncing his last name properly, so Tree had to relearn, too. I also think she was probably very nervous in that scene, trying to get all the details right per the producers' requests. Hey, I mispronounce my own name once in a blue moon, and I ain't being filmed! (From a childhood of people making jokes about my name, which is common, but spelled strangely.) |

It's possibly one of the dumbest things I have ever seen a reality TV star do. Changing the way you say your last name. For real? Then today the icing on the cake when she said it incorrectly. I truly wonder whose idea it was.

No way that was Juicy's idea, no way. I doubt he knew or cared what the "proper" pronunciation of his name was. And while she might have been nervous in that scene trying to remember all of the lines she'd been fed by the producers and her handlers it seems to me the last thing she'd manage to screw up would be remembering her own freaking name. Because she is a "NY Bestseller Author" or whatever she called herself. Plus, I'm pretty sure Juicy's forgotten someone came up with that Jew-Di-Shay crap before and has pronounced it the old way himself. I know this isn't the first time Tree has done it, I recall making fun of her for doing it at other times. |

I think they pronounce it the "American" way. We're Greek and we don't say our last name the way it's really supposed to be said. No one will get it right. Only Greeks do. Let me try a couple examples that may make this more understandable. Most Americans call the Greek Lamb Pita sandwich, a gyro, and pronounce it phonetically: jai-ro. But that's not the way you say it. It's more like "hhhhero." I say it the Greek way, most of my friends say it the American way. Another one. Proscuitto cheese. Mr. Velvet calls it exactly as it's written, "Pro-shu-tto." But I say it like all my Italian friends did, growing up, "Pro-shuuut." Does that make more sense than her just being a flake? Tree is going by the Americanized, easy way to say it, but the real way is jew-dichay. When she's among people who she probably deems not-Italian and not able to understand, she goes with the American way. To me, this makes perfect sense. I never questioned it, probably because my last name has the same issue. |

Good analogies, Velvet. I'm gonna keep calling them jai-ros, though. ;) |

LOL, we were at an Italian restaurant in AC and my Jersey friends order "Manigot", and the fresh-off-the boat Italian waiter corrected them that is was "Manicotti". I thought it was hilarious.

No. LOLOL Take a woman named Genevieve who pronounces it the American way, JEN-uh-veev. If she starts, occaisionally, calling herself Zhan-vee-EV (french pronunciation) or is confused about how she pronounces her name, then, yeah, flake. I'd find that obnoxious. Same as if Simon started calling himself, See-mone. Obnoxious to the nth. I understand Genevieve's family calling her that if they're French but to change it on whim or be confused about it when talking to strangers? My last name is French. But we pronounce it the American way. Ryebread Silvester does not become Ryebread Seel-vee-STAIR no matter whom I speaking to. The french people we meet when visiting Quebec might pronounce it that way when seeing it as a written word, but we've pretty much picked one way and stuck to it. But only because I try not to be obnoxious. Well, I might be a little right now.... :P On that note, as much as a flakey moron that I think Tree Joo-dice (Joo-dee-chay) is, I decided last night after watching NY that I'd hang with her over Ramona any day. If I had to choose at gunpoint. |

I think it ties into marketing the Eye-tail-yen cookbook. Andy asked her either on a reunion or wwhl, and I think she said that it is the Italian way. But I don't think she answered why she was changing it. |

I agree, fin. That's the only thing that makes sense. But if my friend Genevieve Carpenter writes a French cookbook and starts calling herself Zhan-vee-ev Car-pahn-tee-yay, she's getting a side eye from me. |

Yeah, I've noticed that about Jersey andme. They want to drop final syllables on words and pretend like that's the proper way to say things but Italian is a romance language and that's not how it works at all. I think it's hilarious that they got corrected by a real Italian!

Especially if she gets pissy when others pronounce it the American way and then she keeps forgetting and pronouncing it that way herself. It's kind of like Madonna or Gwyneth Paltrow moving to England and suddenly trying to speak with an English accent. |
