Mob Wives: Mob Reality Doesn't Stop

The reality is the wheels of justice keep moving

The reality of Mob Wives doesn't stop when the cameras stop rolling. I wonder how many of us expected that there would be real ongoing mob business, Federal busts, wire tapping and court cases aired on the show? We've seen, heard and read a lot and now there is more.

New York newspapers are reporting two stories concerning Hector "Junior" Pagan and Anthony "T.G." Graziano. The Daily News reported yesterday that Junior's cooperation lead to the arrest and prosecution of two accomplices in a robbery gone wrong. The fatal gunshot wound was allegedly delivered by Junior, but the other two men are facing life in prison for their participation in the crime.

This morning, The New York Post is reporting that a prosecutor in the case of Anthony Graziano, 71, feels he should be sent to jail regarding his charges of conspiracy and extortion in collecting an old loan. His lawyer feels, that based on his age and medical conditions, Mr. Graziano should not serve any time. Prosecutors disagree, saying based on his criminal history he should receive two to three years. The judge is scheduled to sentenced Mr. Graziano next week. Mr. Graziano returned to prison because of evidence provided to the Feds, by ex-son in law, Junior, who wore a wire and tapped their conversations several months ago.

Of course, the outcome of the sentencing will greatly affect the Graziano family. They were all devastated to learn of Junior's unthinkable betrayal which led to Mr. Graziano's imprisonment, right before Thanksgiving 2011, after just being released from serving 11 years. Sadly, they are paying the price for the mob lifestyle that has always been their reality.

Mob Wives: New Book & Birthday News!

First news item being reported is Big Ang is writing a book! The book is due to be released on September 11th, too early for a Christmas present because no one is going to wait to buy it and read it. The title of the book is  "Bigger Is Better: Real Life Wisdom from the No-Drama Mama." Can you begin to imagine all the Big Ang wisdom running through those pages? Maybe chapters on "How To Date a Wise Guy?," "Where To Hide Your Diamonds From The Feds," and "Three Strikes Your Out" on marriage. I think, like Big Ang, the book is going to be hilarious. Big Ang just celebrated a birthday, June 30th, and more celebrations are in her future!

REMINDER! BIG ANG's Show premieres tomorrow night @ 9ET/8C on VH1

Speaking of birthdays, a favorite mob wife of ours is having a birthday very soon! Renee Graziano will be celebrating her official birthday July 12th. However, I have read tweets that there may be a series of parties, here, there and everywhere. As I have said before, Renee knows how to have a great time with her Life-of-the Party personality. I'll be keeping an eye on things.

Guess who has a birthday today? None other than Karen's beautiful, little angel, Karina! Karina turns 13 years old today! Anyone with children in their family knows how important the BIG 13 is to kids. Being a teenager is one of the milestones they all look forward to. We, at the blog wish Karina a very, very Happy Birthday and hope that her special day is everything she hopes it will be! xoxoxo
