Mob Wives: Natalie DiDonato, The Blood Rage

New 2015 Movie

I don't know if Natalie D will be back for season 6 of Mob Wives, but she sure has made the most of her opportunity and exposure on season 5. Natalie has many career ventures at the moment, including her role in this new movie, The Blood Rage, written and directed by Benjamin Jimerson. Natalie will be playing the role of Bercillia. No plot summary has been released yet, however it's in the Horror Genre and there will be vampires. You can watch Natalie explain what she has been up to since season 5 ended.

I think it's great that Natalie has moved on in a positive direction, whether or not she will be back for season 6. Natalie is also getting encouragement and support from Karen Gravano on Twitter.

It's great to see women supporting women!

We wish Natalie Didonato the best of luck in her film career and her future.

Mob Wives: D'Alfonso Family Feud Put to Rest

Rest in Peace

Many fans who follow Mob Wives on Twitter have seen an ongoing battle of words between Frankie "Flowers" D'Alfonso's blood family and Natalie Didonato. Natalie has said she is related to Frankie "Flowers" by marriage, but his blood family insisted they didn't know her and she wasn't related. They have been very upset over the use of his name and wanted Mr. D'Alfonso's name removed from the show. This daily ongoing war of words has finally been resolved. Dave Schratwieser interviewed Mr. D'Alfonso's daughter on FOX 29 about the issue. At the same time, a resolution was worked out. Here are the tweets:

and Natalie's Response

Hopefully, this will put the whole issue to rest. Mob Mistress is working on an interview she had with Natalie D and it should be up around lunch time today.

Here is the link if you want to read more about the FOX 29 interview.

Mob Wives: Natalie Didonato FOX29 Interview

A few days ago, Natalie Didonato was interviewed by FOX29's Good Day Philadelphia. Natalie has become a celebrity almost overnight, even before making her debut on Mob Wives, January 7th. The previews of upcoming scenes from the show were enough to peek fans' interest in this new cast member. Now we can hear exactly what Natalie has to say about season 5 of Mob Wives and what she is bringing to the table.

Natalie D says she was born and raised in South Philly and attended Temple University for Real Estate. The show has opened a lot of doors for her already. The down side of being on the show is that her demons are coming out. She is not a big fan of Gnatalie. I get the impression that is an understatement. Natalie chats about her recent charity event and various projects she is working on. This little clip gives us a nice glimpse into her personality.

Mob Wives: Natalie Didonato's Photo Shoot Pics!

for a photo shoot in Episode 4

Looking beautiful, Natalie Didonato made her debut appearance on Mob Wives in episode 4. She was a model in a photo shoot for an Italian magazine. Drita was called in to do the makeup of the models in the shoot. We were able to see the makeup session and the conversation between Drita and Natalie about "Ratalie." Unfortunately, we were not able to see the photo shoot itself. But, I was recently contacted by a source and he sent me some photos from the actual photo shoot that took place that day for her fans to enjoy..

Mob Wives: Natalie vs "Ratalie" on Twitter

Natalie D. taking care of business

Time and time again the show's drama spills out on to the social media pages. I woke up to some tidbits this morning that I couldn't pass up. From reading yesterday's tweets, Ratalie has been taking potshots at Natalie D. But, before posting her zingers, she made sure she blocked Natalie so she couldn't see what she was saying. Word must have gotten back to Natalie D. because she had a few things to say for herself. I am not surprised Ratalie blocked Natalie D. or anyone else. She doesn't seem to like the truth and likes to keep her timeline clear for her few adoring fans. Fans who are apparently hard of hearing because they keep posting about how great that awful "Delicious" video is. Outside of a handful of her crazed fans, I doubt anyone would download that video even if it was free. She shouldn't give up her day job, and by that I mean funeral home receptionist, for a career in music. Just sayin'.

Here is the drama you may have missed between the two. You never know, it may end up escalating and we want to keep you up with the events as they happen.

Someone must have told Natalie D. what was being said so she took to Twitter to answer with her own comments:

The picture Natalie D. refers to is below

Mob Wives: Natalie Didonato Calls Gnat a Rat Sneak Peek

"She called his parole officer."

This sneak peek is about episode 4, "RATalie." Gee and I thought we had the perfect name for her!

In this scene, Drita goes to Philly to work on makeup for a photoshoot for an Italian magazine. One of the models she is doing makeup for is the new Natalie Didonato. Drita casually mentions that she knows a friend in Philly whose name is GNatalie Guercio. Natalie D tells her to be careful. Apparently everyone in SOUTH Philly knows about everyone's business. GNATalie's ex-boyfriend was a friend of Natalie's and she tells Drita that when Gnat and her friend got into a fight, she called his parole officer. Drita can't believe her ears! Drita says if this is true, everything Karen said about Gnatalie is true. Drita says calling the parole officer is a "rat" move.

"She is a bonafide f*ckin' rat,

and she has got to go!"

Drita is really bugging out over this news and tries to remain professional for the rest of the photo shoot. What she really wants to do to jump in her care, fly over to Gnat's house and pull her out and ask her if she is a rat. How many times has Gnat called Karen a rat for no reason? Turns out it may be Gnat who is the real rat!

Mob Wives: Natalie Didonato Breaks Silence!

Natalie has been silent long enough!

In yesterday's blog, Gnatalie was "threatening to break her confidentiality clause," by proclaiming she had a ton to say and reaching out to Perez Hilton. In today's blog, we have the (new) Natalie breaking her silence about the Gnat. Natalie apparently knows a lot about the Gnat and it may all come out in season 5 of Mob Wives. For example, how many times did we hear Gnat say "I'm from SOUTH Philly?" Turns out, Natalie says the Gnat is from New Jersey. And that's not all. Here are a few selected tweets that will give us a "taste" of what to expect from Natalie Didonato, whose debut appearance will be January 7th, 2015.

Natalie posts a picture of the Gnat on her knees.

 A Better angle!

And with that, we are off to the races. It looks like GNATalie wont just be running away from Karen now. I hope Santa Baby brings her an expensive pair of running shoes and she leaves her heels at home. Meanwhile, Natalie's mother is proud of her daughter's new role on Mob Wives:

And we are happy to tell Natalie's mom that we are very much looking forward to everything Natalie is going to bring to the show!

Mob Wives: GNATalie the Sh*t-Stirrer

Get used to seeing Natalie Didonato

Because she means business!

Last night GNATalie was being her usual self and stirring up some sh*t with Karen Gravano. Karen didn't take the bait. As Karen says, "The b*tch is irrelevant," and we agree. But that doesn't stop her from running her mouth to anyone that will listen. Get a load of these tweets of GNATalie talking sh*t about Karen and her father:

Like we need to hear about Karen's life from a GNAT

when Karen has written a best selling book!

Then she adds this!

We all know Alicia, who plead guilty to embezzling pension funds, is afraid of Karen, that's why she won't film with her. She is hiding behind her family because she won't come face to face with Karen.

Well, Natalie Didonato must have seen these tweets too. After thanking Karen for coming to her Charity Event, Natalie had this to say:

and Karen's thoughts...

Bye, B*tch, Bye!

And I guess the time will come in season 5! So make sure you don't miss an episode of Mob Wives, Wednesday nights @ 9PM on VH1!

P.S. Why is Carla in the middle of GNAT's tweets?

And what does Carla know?

Mob Wives: Natalie Didonato VH1 Charity Event!

Renee, Karen and Carla

Guess where they are right now?

Word on the street is that there is a VH1 Charity Event being held right now in Philadelphia at Moshulu! And guess who is attending? Yes, your favorite Mob Wives! Who is hosting? None other than our favorite NEW Philly Mob Wife, Natalie Didonato. A portion of the proceeds raised at this event will be going to Women Against Abuse and Toys for Tots. Natalie has not even been on the air yet, except for the supertrailer, and she is already doing good for her community!

The event has a color theme of gold white and cranberry and as you can see, our lovely ladies are all elegantly coordinated for the event. If I come across more pictures I will post them later!

Karen looking stunning in cranberry!

Enough said!

P.S. I guess this means Carla is really coming back?  You know this event will be filmed!

Mob Wives: Natalie DiDonato’s Cousin, Frankie “Flowers”?

This Italian flower is related to Frankie D’Alfonso.

Natalie "poses" but she's no poser!

Mob Wives fans are always curious about the “mob connection” the women on the show may have to qualify them as being part of “the lifestyle.” This season a no different thanks to the attractive Natalie DiDonato from Philly.  Jennifer Graziano obviously can’t get enough of the Philly blood.  Mob Mistress and I are keeping our fingers crossed this is the philly cheese steak we can actually stomach.

Immediately Twitter wanted to know her connection and Natalie answers, “I sure do, my cousin is Frankie Flowers, he was big in the mob, look it up.”

We aim to please.  So, of course we did.  There is a Frankie “Flowers” D’Alfonso in Philly mob history. According to several reports, Frankie “Flowers” D’Alfonso got his name because his family owned a flower shop. He was never really a made man of the mob, but an associate of mob boss, Angelo Bruno. They allegedly worked closely together on many money making ventures. He was known for gambling, bookmaking and loan sharking. He is said to never have hurt anyone. He also refused to testify, even with immunity, and was jailed. When mob boss Angelo Bruno was murdered, Frankie did not want to work with the new mob boss, Scarfo, who leaned towards violent solutions to disputes. In 1981, two of Scarfo’s soldiers severely beat Frankie Flowers for “disrespect.”  He never told police who was behind the brutal attack, instead he said he was hit by a car. Four years later a contract was put out on Frankie and he was gunned down just a few blocks from his home. There are links below with all the details of his story.

So, unlike Princess Funeral Home aka South Philly Molly aka The Gnat, this new Natalie allegedly has a legitimate “mob connection” and, by the sound of it, Frankie Flowers was a real stand up guy by mob standards.

I think we are going to like Natalie DiDonato and I hope her presence on the show helps to redeem South Philly’s reputation with viewers.

Mob Wives: Natalie DiDonato is the Gnat Slayer!

Posing for MobCandy in the Super Trailer

Boxing and ready to "knock her chicklets out! . . . she's 

gonna need new teeth when I'm done with her!"

 . . . so who is this new Natalie?

If you watched the Mob Wives super trailer, you got a glimpse of a brand new Natalie! Her name is Natalie DiDonato and she comes from Philly. As far as I can tell from the clips we saw, Natalie appears to be the new model for Renee’s Mob Candy business. Natalie also seems to be a live wire and she is gunning for someone. I have it on good authority that she will be going after the “old” Natalie, or as we like to call her “Gnat.” If that’s the case, then we have even more to look forward to than I thought.

Natalie may redeem Philly!

Friends of Natalie have already been congratulating her on her new “role” on her facebook page. Here are a few tweets about the super trailer, see for yourself.

and Natalie's reply

She says she is bringing it, 

and we are counting on it!

(bye, bye Gnat . . .swat!)

So will we enjoy the new Natalie? I think so! What is her beef with the old "Gnat?" I don't know the answer to that yet, but she looks serious . . . serious enough to make even Drita sit up and take notice! We can't wait to "meet" Ms. Natalie DiDonato. And Natalie, if you are reading this, lets have a sit down!
