Y

ou probably know Jeannie

Mai from holding it down on

The Real or from her wildly

popular web series, Hello Hunnay.

Now she’s bringing her talents to

Holey Moley, an extreme mini-golf

competition series, as a sideline

commentator. OK! chats with the

star about the new show.

What makes Holey Moley unique?

Let’s start with the fact that there

are ginormous car-size tulips at

one hole called Dutch Courage

that have the ability to knock a

grown man off his feet — I saw it

with my own eyes several times —

and a slippery, slushy ice glacier

that can make you despise gravity

as you climb your way up to

putt your ball. The obstacles

are larger than life and so

entertaining to watch.

Why do you think

viewers should tune in?

I’m positive this

show will be a

whole new guilty

pleasure to watch

with family or

friends. There

won’t be one

person who’ll be

able to pull their

eyes away from

the unexpected on

this golf course. Every

time I looked away for a second,

I missed a hilarious moment of

human versus insanity. It can’t be

missed!

What are the challenges — and

benefits — of filming a talk show

with other women on The Real?

Every day I do a sober cartwheel

of thanks that I have zero drama

at The Real working with three

incredible women. They’re

thoughtful, respectful and

wonderful to go to for advice.

It’s the best feeling to be able to

turn to any of them for different

opinions and encouragement.

Why did you start Hello Hunnay?

When I turned 40 I realized,

“Damn, I’ve been through

some [things].” If I could

write my own self-help

guide, I’d read the hell out

of it. My favorite topics

are the ones that get

me a tiny bit pissed,

because you know

it’s going to be

something I can’t say

on daytime [TV].

Real Housewives of New York CityÕs Barbara Kavovit

knows a little something about being resilient

in the Big Apple, so it comes as no surprise that

her new book is about a woman with the same

tough-as-nails attitude. Bridget is the CEO of a

construction company in an industry dominated by

men. Committed to becoming the first woman to

get a contract to build an NYC skyscraper, she must overcome sexism and

harassment in order to obtain it. But a wrench gets thrown into her plans

when she meets a sexy man — who also happens to be her competition.
