Today Wake Up with Taylor became no more... 😔

The whole WUWT community was shocked when they either heard Seth Speaks in place of Taylor or saw the news on social media... Wake Up with Taylor has been taken off of SiriusXM. Most are speculating that it was a sudden development and as of last week Friday, they did plan to continue as usual this week. On her Instagram, Tay promised that she will explain when she can.

I have been listening to Wake Up for over 11 years! I haven't listened much in recent years, but I try to keep up on what Taylor and Kenny are up to. I was lucky to have connected with many other WUWT fans and we will continue to be friends and connected despite Wake Up leaving.

What will be next for Taylor? We shall see. I know I will be watching and waiting to hear what she'll be doing.

Okay, so apparently Patrick and Stassi are still on, but....

1. Wake up with Taylor has a new website! www.wakeupwithtay.com

2. Make sure you visit the website for recaps, Kenny's shows and MUCH MORE!

3. Who is still watching VanderPump Rules? I'm pretty sure I vowed to stop watching a season or two ago, yet I can't stop. :) Jax has just gotten sooooo much less hot over the years. James - blech. And Lala may look pretty in the night, but have you seen her in the daytime? Both James and Lala look over-tanned. Tanning is not "in" anymore!

Night Pageant

If you haven't gotten your hands on Kenny's new comedy album, you're missing out! The album has spent time at the top of the comedy charts and as of right this second, it's at #3! Let's get it back up to #1!!

Buy it here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/night-pageant/id987630759?ign-mpt=uo%3D2

Congrats Kenny!! Yay Boy Yay!

Charlie Bit Me!

Remember Taylor's fascination with the Charlie Bit Me video? I played it so much myself that my kids started talking in the same accent and acting out the video.


Here is the trailer for the Charlie Bit Me movie. So funny!


   

Here we go... The Spinoff speculations have begun.

(article courtesy of news.lalate.com)


BEVERLY HILLS (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – Stassi Schroeder and her new boyfriend 2014 Patrick Meagher heat up the Vanderpump Rules finale. Who is Stassi Schroeder dating, who is Stassi’s new boyfriend on Vanderpump Rules, are Stassi and Jax still together, and is Stassi leaving Pump Rules for a new spinoff? LALATE can exclusively report that in 2013, Lisa Vanderpump made moves quietly to expand her producing arm. LALATE can report that Vanderpump obtaining new trademarks to her brand name, and is actively seeking to develop more television shows based upon her existing platforms and commercial properties.

While Lisa Vanderpump has yet to confirm yet a second show in new developments, there are new questions if she is seeking to spinoff Stassi Schroeder in a New York City based reality show for 2014. And if you think it sounds far fetched, there are more possible twists involved. First, one of Vanderpump’s producers on Vanderpump Rules previously successful spun off The Hills to The City over a decade earlier on MTV. Second, in recent months, Bravo has brought in a new development head who comes, not internally from inside Bravo, but rather from The City’s former home, MTV Networks.

Tonight fans will be asking who is Stassi dating. She says of Jax and histattoo “when I first saw it, it put pressure on me. I can’t listen to this anymore. It is really sad to hear him cry … that breaks my heart, it makes me sad.” Jax replies “The more she pushed him away, the more it made it harder. I never had a girl saw no to me before.”

Then Cohen asks Stassi who she is dating. In a Kenya Moore like moment, Stassi keeps the question unanswered during the reunion. “I am – I am feeling very happy. I could cry. He is one of the best people I ever met. He is just a fantastic person.” Stassi is dating Patrick Meagher, a Sirius XM show host.

Stassi says she only talks to Katie and her boyfriend and has no communication with the Pump cast anymore. “I don’t talk to him [Jax]. We don’t have any communication…I cut him out of my life,” she tells OK Magazine. When asked about Kristen, Stassi says “I don’t understand her at all; I never will.”

For now, while no spinoff is yet confirmed, Stassi has in fact quit Sur.

Pete Dominick interviews Patrick

Thank You!!!

These are my confessions...

I love drama. I don't like to be involved in the drama, but I love to watch train wrecks no matter how large or small, stupid or not. I watched Laguna Beach; I watched The Hills; I still watch The Real World... heck, I listen to the police scanner on my phone when nothing else is going on. It's probably the biggest reason I got into Cosmo Radio. I can't stand Patrick, but yet I tuned in when shit was hitting the fan... or at least had the potential to hit the fan. It's hard to admit, because it's exactly what he wanted.

Queue the train wreck named Stassi...

I couldn't help myself. I held out for so long. Hearing about her on Cocks with P and Wake Up made me so annoyed. Yet, I broke down and started watching Vanderpump Rules from the very first episode of Season 1. I watched one episode after another and looked forward to the next. I am more annoyed with Stassi than ever! But I can't look away! And, what's more... I can't wait to see how the hell Patrick is going to fit in to all of this.

I don't feel like this show is real life. I feel like it's The Hills with a new set of characters. The same awkward pauses, the same crazy stupid drama, the ridiculous self-righteous people... have I mentioned how annoying most of them are?

I can't help but think that Patrick was cast as Stassi's new boyfriend. He has similar looks to Jax. Patrick is needy; Stassi is needy and I can see her running all over Patrick. I want to be there for this train wreck, no matter how disastrous or hard to watch. I know I'll probably be pissed off most of the time, but I can't help it!!! To see Patrick work at SUR would be gratifying. To be able to see him get tossed around in this stupid drama will be equally gratifying.

Please tell me there are others of you feeling the same way??

Kenny & Taylor's Holiday Extravaganza...

Pics of Tay, Kenny & Steph...

I must say that nowadays, it is MUCH easier to come across pictures of our favorite morning show crew than it was WAY back in the day when I started listening to the show. I mean, isn't that one of the first things we do when we hear someone we don't know on the radio... gotta find a picture of them! Although I know them SO much better now, I thought it would be fun to do a search for Taylor... which inevitably also brought up some pics of Kenny and Steph too. :)

Cocktails with Patrick back on the air???

Patrick told the social media world today that we can expect Cocktails with Patrick to be back on Monday (November 4th). At this point, we are speculating it is probably a podcast. No official details as of yet. Stay tuned.

A Cosmo Girl's 10 year Anniversary story....

We are away in grafton for our 10th anniversary. I have to tell you, Omg. I have to show off to someone. Who else can I tell, other than you girls?

Owen got me a ring. THE ring we saw in a window from three years ago, and when we saw it back then, It was so special that we both stopped and stared at it. Apparently, He's been paying on it this whole time. I can't stop crying. Wait until you hear the way he gave it to me: He took me in the store on our way walking to dinner, to look to see if they, by chance, after three years, still had the ring. There were tons of rings in their windows. They didn't, or so I thought. They jeweler played it off so perfectly. So we went to dinner. On the way walking back by, there sat the ring. Only the one ring. Nothing else was in the window. The employees all stood there smiling. Owen said "it's there! And it's yours!" He said he'd marry me over and over again. He said all these amazing things about us and we both stood on the street in St. Charles, MO and bawled. What a ten years it's been. we had a rough bump there a while back, and almost didn't make it. I'm so proud of is for making it here. I don't know what I ever did to find someone to love me like this. I'm a weepy mess.

Cocktails with Patrick is on Facebook!

Help out another show in the SiriusXM family...

Any of you who were fans of Rosie O'Donnell's Radio Show know Janette Barber, a long time friend of Rosie's, as well as executive producer of the show. Since Rosie left SiriusXM for her TV show on OWN, Janette has had her own radio show... first, one day a week, and now she is up to two days each week. If you love listening to Janette and crew as much as I do, join us in writing SiriusXM and sharing how much you love listening to them!

Part of their campaign is to add Smarties candies to your note... since they would obviously be very smart to add the show to programming 5x per week!

Here is the address:

Dave Gorab, VP
SiriusXM - 36th Floor
1221 Avenue of the Americas

Kenny's Organic Farm

Kenny is so busy entertaining us, maybe we should plan out Kenny's farm for him. 

There is a lot we should consider:

1. We need to find a farm listing of what he should buy. (Maybe we all contribute to buy for him and he owes us organic veggies for life)

2. We need to decide if/what animals he has (besides Steve, of course).

3. We need to plot out the land for what he will grow and where.

4. What vegetables will he grow?

5. Who is going to help him make sure he is organic?

6. What will the Cosmo Farm Bar look like... where he invites all the Fun Kids to drink mixed drinks made from his organic goodness... is he going to make organic alcohol too?

7. What will his farm house look like... outside, inside (he might need our womanly touch).

8. He needs a farm wardrobe... what will he wear?

9. He's gonna need a tractor... we need to find the coolest tractor out there.

10. Since he's gonna need to accommodate a lot of Little FFFers, what other amenities will he need on the farm? 

Let's put together his farm in the comments below! :)

Welcome to the Grand Re-Opening!

I am your host, Kelly, and I want to welcome you back to the NEW Cosmo Happy Hour. Prior to the new name, we were Cosmo Radio Recap. After a hiatus, I've come back with new vigor to create a place where our Fake Life Fam can go before, during and after our favorite shows on SiriusXM 109 - Cosmo Radio.

For those of you who are new to this site, or are unfamiliar with me... I'll introduce myself. I have been listening to Cosmo Radio for 5-6 years, slightly less than the channel has been around. I started the Cosmo Radio Recap a couple years ago (I think?) when I realized that there are a lot of listeners that are only able to listen to the shows during their commute. They ended up missing a lot of the goodness during the rest of the shows.

I quickly got to know a lot of other regular listeners, back when our "fake life family" was just in its infancy. I've been through the "afternoon head bangers club" with many of you, which was the Twitter group that would talk ish during Cosmolicious because of poor grammar, boring topics and severe misuse of common sayings. Eventually victory was ours, and Diana Falzone was no more! She really didn't represent Fun, Fearless Females very well... we are all MUCH smarter than that.

It got to the point where I needed a way to stream the shows while I was working, so I talked my husband into letting me get an iPhone. To this day, that is the only place where I get my Cosmo Radio fix. I love streaming through my phone. But I can never change my plan... I got in while AT&T had an unlimited plan for data! I think I use 7-8 GB per month!

Over time, my recaps became less and less and I just got too busy with my full time job to keep up. Some Twitter/Cosmo Radio friends helped contribute to the recap, but that also became more than each of us could do with full time work.

Along came Michelle, who has had all of the Cosmo Radio Recap accounts in her possession for several months. Recently I requested to get the accounts back from her because I had a little more time and I had new ideas for the site. Fortunately, it was perfect timing because she is now too busy at work.

And here we are... Back at it - in a whole new way... motivated by CosmoCon to reconnect with all of my old friends and make new ones, my love for the station and its shows, and also my love of blogging and keeping up with all of you.

I welcome anyone's posts... just send your note to me at cosmoradiorecap@gmail.com! Whether you want to recap a day's shows, write about your CosmoCon experience, write about your friendship with other FFFers, talk about something that inspired you, share your fashion/pop culture/etc information, or whatever... Send it to me!! While the site is still under construction, I plan to have a page that is only posts from YOU!

Be sure to follow me on Twitter @cosmohappyhour.

At some point www.cosmohappyhour.com will get you here, but I'm having trouble with it right now. You can get here with www.cosmoradiorecap.com or www.cosmoradio.blogspot.com for now.

I am going to try to make this site as interactive as possible, but I also hope to see ya'll on Twitter and Facebook! (Facebook is my next thing to get back up and running. I need more "Likes" so I can get a nice URL --- stop by and Like CHH!: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cosmo-Happy-Hour/116155455160612

Love you all and so glad to be back!!

Kelly
