VH1access Interview: Melinda (Wedding Wars)
I finally did an interview with Melinda from Wedding Wars. we caught p to her to see what she has been up to since the show. She said the show boosted her Real Estate career. She also reveals she met Mario at Craigslist Casual Encounters. Follow her on Twitter
Hey Melinda , how are you?
Mario and I are “fabulous!”
How was your experience on "Wedding Wars"?
Mario and I have had a lot of interesting experiences throughout our lives together but this was by far one of the most unique!
How did you and Mario find out about the show?
Well we were browsing Craigslist Casual Encounters and found the casting call and said “fuck it...let’s try out for this shit and see what happens!”
On the show, you and Mario were portrayed as the "evil couple" Did you like the way VH1 portrayed you?
I think we were portrayed exactly how we wanted to be portrayed. We meticulously planned out every move but towards the end we figured out that playing with people’s emotions was way fun so we ended up adding too many twists to the plot.
A lot of people think that you are mean and bitchy. Do you really come off like that in real life? or was that just for the cameras?
Yes, I’m very mean, very self serving and I will eat you alive if you show me any sign weakness.
Who did you get along with on the show? It seems like you didn't like anyone lol
Mario and I got along with everyone as long as it served us a purpose.
Who did you dislike on the show?
It’s been so long that we can’t remember the names of the people we disliked. Oh well guess they weren’t that important.
What was your favorite challenge?
Our favorite challenge was finding the weakness and insecurities of our competitors and using it against them.
Now that the show is over, are you Mario still together? and still planning to get married?
Mario and I met on Craigslist Causal Encounters and it’s a no strings attached type of relationship.... Seriously we are still together most of the time and yup...we’re getting married! =)
Would you do another reality show?
We’re going to quote Mario’s favorite artist, Justin Beiber, “never say never.” Being on VH1’s Wedding Wars boosted my (Melinda’s) Real Estate career...go figure, people love mean, bitchy Realtors!
Well Melinda, thank you for this interview. Do you want to give a shout out to anyone?
We want to thank: Baby Sasquatch, Bananas, Goodimes and ALL the other producers with less snappy names. Thanks to the ALL the sound crew: supper hipster sound guy w/ the crazy beard and Melinda’s favorite, cute Italian dude with hot pink shorts. Thanks to ALL the camera folks: like buff ass Asian camera man and lady with the glasses! Lastly thanks VH1 for allowing unlimited Red Delicious boxed wine and plenty of rice and beans while we lived in the jungles of Hawaii.

Tami Roman Does An Interview With On The 6th
Tami's New Interview
On The 6th did an interview with fan favorite Tami Roman of "Basketball Wives"
Michael: What was going through your mind when you auditioned for "The Real World"?
Tami: Nothing really except that I thought it would be cool to live at the beach with 6 other people for different backgrounds. It was too new of a concept to have a plan LOL.
Michael: Did you ever expect it to be as big as it was back then?
Tami: Never in a million years.
Tami: Never in a million years.
Michael: Any regrets? About the Real World?
Tami: Nope
Michael: How was life being married to an NBA player?
Tami: I had all the materialistic things I wanted, but not the aspects of a good relationship: honesty, loyalty, spiritual foundation, unconditional love...
Michael: Does "Basketball wives?" really show the real truth behind being married to a basketball player?
Tami: Not really - there is so much more to us than the dramatic aspects they choose to showcase.
Michael: Will you be returning for a 4th season of "Basketball Wives"
Tami: Not sure.
Michael: Knowing that the fight you had with Meeka was out of the country, she can't sue you here in the states because its a different jurisdiction or can she? Do you feel that she's a coward who is embarrassed about being beat up on national tv and that's what brought the lawsuit?
Tami: No comment on the Meeka issue due to her pending lawsuit.
Michael: Why is Meeka's face always so greasy?
Tami: My first guess would be Vaseline, but you'd have to ask her to be sure :)
Michael: Enough about her she's irrelevant. So now that you an Evelyn are some what cool is it more pleasant while filming?
Tami: Evelyn and I are strange...we love hard and hate with a passion. I like us better as friends because we are funny as hell together. When we are in one of our disagreements, it makes it hard for Shaunie and Jen because we are cool with both of them.
Michael: When the camera's aren't following you around, do you ever hang out with any of your cast mates?
Tami: Honestly, we all have our core set of friends and we are closest with them. We do text and email each other, just to check in.
Michael: So lets talk about "The Tomb" where did this idea come from? Tell us about the experience?
Tami: Most people don't know that I am an actress first. So when I decided to invest in something, I wanted to start a production company and develop film projects. The Tombs is my first producing effort under the new production company banner "Sleep Study Entertainment". I read the script and thought it was a socially conscious piece that spoke to one of the many challenges facing the men in our country.
Michael: What's next for Tami?
Tami: Back to acting in scripted programming; more writing/producing efforts; I'd like to have my own show; continuing with the writing my book; maybe Celebrity Apprentice or Dancing with the Stars- if they'd have me LOL...oh and I'd like to work with Tyler Perry, I think Madea needs a crazy niece or cousin who will pop off just like she does.
Michael: We have to praise you for being such a wonderful mother, raising two very talented daughters. We had a chance to interview them as well, and there both very intelligent, respectful, humble, down to earth and there talent speaks for itself. I see them going far in life.
Tami: Thank you, I appreciate that. I always say they are my biggest accomplishment and if you want to know what I'm about, look at my children.
Michael: How do you handle any negativity from the media, press?
Tami: I take it all in stride. Everyone is not going to love you and they are entitled to their opinions. I understand that they are basing their comments on what they see via BBW. I only hope that my other positive ventures outside of BBW will eventually dilute the imagery that is showcased each week.
Michael: Is there anything people think they know about you, but have no real idea?
Tami: Ummm, I don't know - most people think that what they see on BBW is all that I am - they don't know that I work in corporate America within the finance world or that I am a licensed realtor in NY & NJ. I have owned my own interior decorating company, have owned my own second hand clothing store stocked with designer items from my own closet, have written 4 screenplays 2 of which have been optioned by major studios and I have been acting for about 12 years before coming to BBW. I am extremely professional and have a killer work ethic. What they see on BBW is not indicative of me in my entirety.
Michael: If you could do anything over in life, what would it be?
Tami: I think I would've stayed on the career course that God laid out for me. When I met Kenny I put my dreams, goals and desires on the back burner to be available for him and those efforts would eventually come back to haunt me and my children.
Michael: Do you have any advice for others who want to pursue a career in the entertainment business?
Tami: I can only speak on the aspect of being an actor/actress as that is where most of my experience comes from, in which I'd tell them find the best acting coach you can and study your craft. You never want the opportunity to come and your not prepared. I studied with Chip Fields and she was my saving grace in so many ways. She taught me everything I know about the craft of acting.
Michael: Any rumors, gossip you want to clear up?
Tami: I'm not a bully, but I will do all I can to get my point across.
Michael: So will you ever consider marriage again ?
Tami: Absolutely
Michael: Thanks again for sitting down and doing this interview
Tami: Thank you
Jennifer Williams Blogs About The Latest Episode.
Jennifer Blogs About The Latest Episode.
Jennifer shares her thoughts on the drama with her ex-husband Erica Williams and Royce. She is also going to blog about the finale next week where Eric throws a drink at her!
Lights, Camera, ACTION! Since when did Eric become Steven Spielberg and Royce becomeAngelina Jolie? Ok moving along, back to reality! For the record, Eric is clueless about Hollywood and one minute Royce is a dancer and the next she is an actress. I thought the movie was about women robbing men but Eric tells Royce it’s about women empowerment? He should make up his mind and stop switching stories. That’s all I have to say about those two. NEXT!
I must admit I am ecstatic to get back out into the dating world. Al and I have a great relationship. He is my best friend and I know I can talk to him about any and everything. He isn’t going to have me go on a date with someone he doesn’t approve of. Dating can be intimidating at first but I am more than ready to get my feet wet.
The date with Will went much better than I expected. Anxiety, nervousness, etc. all kicked in. However, Will made me feel at ease. He truly is a gentleman and we just clicked. Plus he is a hottie which makes it that much easier! Being in a relationship for 10 plus years then getting back into the dating world can be scary but I must admit, I wouldn’t change it for the world. I am extremely happy with the decisions I’ve made and I am having a great time exploring my dating options.
Poor Suzie! She just always seems to get caught in the middle of some BS! I believe she has good intentions but somewhere down the line it goes the wrong way. Do you think Royce and I can come to an understanding about the Girlfriend 101 Rule? For now, I just don’t!
