You couldn’t possibly have thought this would end well.

Look at them, laughing over someone’s misfortune:

It’s almost like they’re watching a reality show, instead of appearing in one. Way to be at one with your audience, ladies!

When we interviewed Angela “Myammee” Pitts way back in 2009 regarding her I Love Money 2 victory, she said that with the $250,000 prize money, “I’m thinking about opening up a shop in Miami.” Flash forward to now, and it looks like she’s made good on that plan: the video above comes from the recent grand opening of Myammee’s Hair Spa in North Miami Beach. It is apparently fashioned as both a place to get your hair did and a “retreat from that chaotic mess” (hence it being called a “hair spa,” not a salon). Good luck with that, though: I’ve seen Beauty Shop — I know how wild women can get around hair product.

But for real, this is awesome. Massive amounts of well wishes go out from us to Myammee for achieving her goal and doing something rational and productive with her prize money. Responsibility is so hard to come by in these parts that this is truly remarkable. [via Bourgy]

Throughout the first season of Football Wives, we’ve been hearing Dawn Neufeld’s take on the series via her Dawn Neufeld’s Playbook blog for us. For an all together new perspective, Dawn’s husband, Ryan has written up a post regarding his take on the show, where he is with his career and how he feels about sharing such sensitive information about his family’s financial situation. It’s a nice look back and primer for the season finale, which will air Sunday at 9:30/8:30. (Watch the drama-heavy finale preview at the Football Wives video page.)

(And speaking of husbands, were you aware that Erin’s man, Matt McBriar is leading the NFL in punting? The more you know!)

Ryan’s thoughts are below…

I’ve been keeping up with Dawn’s blog and have really enjoyed how well she’s been explaining the way certain situations took place on Football Wives.  I can’t help but notice some of the negative feedback she’s been getting from the blog.  In particular, there have been several comments that Dawn embarrassed me by being so open about our financial situation.  I can tell everyone that my wife did nothing to embarrass me on the show.  I appreciate her being so real.  People have talked about her on the stripper pole on the boat.  I was there and didn’t have a problem with it.  I enjoyed watching the ladies relax and have a good time.  They deserved it after all the stress and work in shooting the show.

Some stars are born, some are made and some get to be stars through little doing of their own. The latter scenario is the case for Rachel Uchitel, who started making headlines around this time last year for her close relationship with a certain sports megastar. The coverage continued throughout 2010, but then a funny thing happened: Rachel Uchitel reclaimed her notoriety. She signed on to appear on the fourth season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, in a confluence of reluctance (of being categorized as a celebrity and an addict) and resolve to present herself to the public on her terms. As she tells me below, “I was not OK with sitting back and letting people see the media’s version of me. I wanted to show me, and if people wanted to hate me, it was totally fair game.”

In our 30-minute chat, we also discussed her family turning its back on her for appearing on this show, being uninvited from Celebrity Apprentice by Donald Trump, her love addiction, negotiating the treatment aspect of Rehab with the TV aspect, and why she stands by her calling out of Dr. Drew on this week’s episode. I hope that you find her as engaging and articulate as I did.
