A List of Jody Claman's Husbands....So Far

Now that Jody is free and single to mingle following her recent divorce, who knows, maybe she'll reel in husband #4. Yup, she's been married thrice. Here's the list:


Husband #1: Michael Deakin

• they were married quiet young. Around 21 I'm guessing
• this is Mia's father. She was 4 when her parents divorced
• of the marriage, Jody says she was young and it was a mistake
• the marriage ended in 1990 with Michael filing

Husband #2: Robert Samways

• owns A Salon, a boutique hair salon in Vancouver
• this one's Josh's father
• they divorced in 2001
• this marriage kinda puts a hole in her story that she was a single mother for 25 years

Husband #3: Eran Friedlander

• president of a mining company. Allegedly makes $213,000 a year
• they divorced last year
• he and Jody had Hannah together

More on Mary's Billionaire Boyfriend

Mary's starting to get back into the dating game, and what better way to play than with a billionaire? After visiting a match-making service, Mary went on a date with W. Brett Wilson during season 2 of the Real Housewives of Vancouver. Their romance has been documented on a number of blogs since the fall of last year. They've been seen at fashion shows, Canucks games, and a fundraising event on a cruise. The pair are no longer together I suppose as Wilson told the Calgary Herald this past spring that he is single.

Ah well, Mary can do better. The man obviously has poor taste. Not only did he heavily indulge in some self-promotion on their date, in addition to taking in Mary's scenic mountain view (if ya know what I mean), but he has also tweeted that the Real Housewives of Vancouver made him fall asleep. #loser Perhaps someone of equally poor taste like Jody would've been better.

Mr. W. Brett Wilson is really a billionaire. His net worth is an estimated $1.5 billion. Impressive considering he's from North Battleford, Saskatchewan- a town of 14,000 people in Canada's most desolate province. His fortune comes primarily from investment banking, an investment banking advisory firm, and a Canadian stock brokerage firm. He also owns part of the Nashville Predators, writes a column for the National Post, has appeared on Dragon's Den, and is currently working on his own show called Risky Business.

And this is what we call gross

Inside the Premiere Party!

Last Tuesday was the season 2 premiere of The Real Housewives of Vancouver.  The 'wives (Ioulia Reynolds, Jody Claman, Mary Zilba, Amanda Hansen, Ronnie Negus and Robin Reichman) along with the producers, friends and family celebrated the launch of season at the Loden Hotel downtown Vancouver.

Nice to see the girls all celebrating happily together. I admire them for letting us into their lives, I cant even imagine how hard it must be at times to be in the public eye and having a lot of your life filmed. 

Big thank you to Catharine Barr for the the behind the scenes scoop! 

 

The Real Housewives and Their Fans

You're only as famous as your fans. In order to stay on top, you need a supportive fan base- the bigger the better. Here we rank the season one's cast of the Real Housewives of Vancouver castmates by their fan pages and their own engagement with their fans via Twitter:

1. Ronnie Negus: her Twitter fan page @RonnieNegusFans is the most popular with over 500 followers, the longest running and still tweets regularly. Ronnie herself is also pretty social among her admirers. She frequently tweets her fans back or retweets their messages of support. She's also been know to reward her most loyal fans with bottles of Rehab.
2. Jody Claman: also frequently reaches out to fans. She has also rewarded her most loyal fans with phone calls. She's supported by two pages (although one hasn't tweeted since July) and @LindaNTyler which is essentially a Claman fan page with a different name
3. Mary Zilba: also regularly reaches out to fans. Her new fan page @MaryZilbaFans is still fairly young but has potential to help build her fan base. She has another fan Twitter page called @MaryZilbaUSA but that one hasn't tweeted since August.
4. Christina Kiesel: doesn't even have Twitter but has a pretty strong fan page. @CKieselRHOVfans has over 120 followers and still regularly tweets
5. Reiko Mackenzie: her fan page has been inactive for over a month. Looking through the tweets, almost none of them were about Reiko. And the few tweets reaching out to her went unanswered.

How will season's 2 cast compare to season 1? The season hasn't aired yet so it's too early to tell if who we're making our fan account for. They do seem fairly social and friendly though. Hopefully they'll have the engagement of Ronnie, Jody and Mary, and in turn, just as loyal fans. 

___________________________________________

While we're on the topic of not making fan pages prematurely, a moment of silence for @LisaMarieFans.

After another RHOV blogger falsely reported that Lisa Marie Blair was a new housewife, an over-eager RHOV fan made a fan page for her.  If they're quick, they can maybe change it to Amanda/Robin/Ioulia fans before other people start claiming them.

The Nicest Shoes in Vancouver

Shoes so fabulous they get a blog post. Ronnie Negus's stunners (or as Parada describes them: dark navy suede peep toe mary jane platform pumps):

Sometimes I think skipping university for nice shoes would be worth it.  *sigh*

If you want to buy me (or yourself I guess) a pair, they're around $720 retail but this site offers them for a mere $576. Oh did I mention my birthday was on Wednesday?

Jody's Twitter Bio

Making the twitter rounds of Vancouver's finest and I feel the need to talk about Jody Claman's twitter bio:

"Passion, family,film,food,fashion,famine @ arts! In this age there is less room 4 ego@more room 4 humilitybalancebasiccommonsense-LUV Dolores Claman! RHOV Cast"

1. Why is there no spacing?
2. Does she know that "@" does not mean "and"?
3. She seems to lack " humilitybalancebasiccommonsense" so am I to assume she's all ego? Judging by RHOV- yes
