The incredible actor George Hamilton (primarily known for his tan) and his ex-wife/ strange soulmate Alana Stewart (she also happened to have married and divorced Rod Stewart) have decided to swap wives with Mob Wives Angela Big Ang Raiola and her husband who is a nice sanitation worker on tonights episode of Celebrity Wife Swap. And, well, things looked like it was going to be chaotic even as everyone was describing their personalities.

Alana is a woman that has raised her kids and like that they have been put out to pasture. So, back at her house, everything is neat and in its right place. And theres no one there, besides George that is, that will kick up a fuss.

But Big Ang is Alanas complete opposite. She likes things to be loud at her house and her children are always welcomed to come over for dinner. Even if its all at the same time. Plus Ang tends not to follow the healthy eating edict that Alana does. So she came close to tears when she saw only vegetables in the refrigerator.

And over in Staten Island, Alana was freaking out when she realized how many grandchildren that Ang has. Especially when she was asked to baby-sit while she cooked pasta from scratch. So these two women were in for a trial.

Yet Ang did find one thing to love about the swap. It seems shes a big George Hamilton fan and if she has to do spiritual meditation (which she believes is all c**p by the way) then she was glad to do it with George. And, anyways, Ang is a flirt. Thus she likes to flirt with George and he in turn can use his charm on her to get her to drink her health drinks.

Alana, though, was put through the ringer on her first day. After she had cooked a meal that included pig feet that this vegetarian has never eaten or cooked before, she then found out that she was hosting a drinking party for all of Angs friends. And these ladies refused to let her sleep. So Alana was left dead on her feet on Day One.

And really Day Two wasnt all that much better.

Alana barely made it through watching all four of Angs grandkids. And again she was tired when she went out to represent Ang at an event. So the funniest thing happened there. Alana broke down and dropped the f bomb on a crowd of people that were asking for it in an unusual display of anger. That in other words would be something Big Ang would have done.

And thats why on the Rule Change day, Alana came up with a lot of new rules for Angs family to follow. Alana you see has noticed how many things Ang is doing for others but that arent really being returned. So she got Angs daughters to doing the cleaning for once and she got rid of the free daycare.

Thereby leaving her chance to relax and enjoy a quiet dinner at home.

But, back in LA, Ang had been left feeling bored by Alanas lifestyle and she chose to shake it up by bringing George outside to get dirty.

George hasnt been a blue collar type of a guy for a while now. Hence the first thing Ang did as part of her rules was to get rid of his assistant that simply does everything for him. And had George travel around in a garbage truck working.

See, it was part of Angs plan to connect him with everyday life again. And so she took him to Hollywood Boulevard where he got to bask in being George Hamilton. Then she had a big dinner back at the house with some of her friends and George actually enjoyed that as well.

Alana normally doesnt have big family dinners so a change from that would be nice and he later discussed that with his ex-wife at the sit-down.

Alana had told Ang that sometimes it could be ok for step back. Ang had a tumor in her throat that she was still dealing with and Alana knows what cancer can do to a person. So she advised Ang to give her body a rest every now and then. And Ang, being her blunt herself, told Alana relax on some of her house rules.

Have family dinners and go out to more than just a health restaurant. And surprisingly Alana did listen. She started to spend more time with her kids and grandchild after her experience with Celebrity Wife Swap.

Meanwhile, Ang went ahead with another surgery yet refused to slow down or take care of herself first. So, all in all, at least both Alana and George got something from all of this.

And now George takes out his own trash.

THE END!

History Makers: George Hamilton IV


George Hamilton on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight: INTERVIEW

Born: July 19, 1937

Died: Sept 17, 2014

Billboard Magazine once christened Winston-Salems own George Hamilton IV as the International Ambassador of Country Musicand the title couldnt have been more fitting. With his engaging personality and tender vocal style, Hamilton helped spread American country music across the globe.

He was the first American artist to record songs by Canadians Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell. In the 1960s he hosted country music TV shows in Canada, England, and Ireland. He toured Australia, Japan, and across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. The British Country Music Association named him honorary life president, and The Guardian (a British daily newspaper) postulated that The growth of country music in Britain was due in no small way to the efforts of George Hamilton IV. Finally, in 1974 he became the first American country artist to perform behind Europes Iron Curtain.

Hamiltons ascent in country music can be traced back to his grandfathers radio in Winston-Salem. He was born and raised in the Twin City, where his parents, George III and Mary Lillian, raised him in a loving, deeply devout Moravian home. His grandfather, George II, a railroad man, turned him on to country music, listening to the Grand Ole Opry on the radio.

Interestingly, Hamilton began his career as a pop/rock singer. In 1956, the clean-cut 19-year-old entered a recording studio on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill and recorded the single, A Rose and a Baby Ruth. The song would reach No. 6 on Billboards rock chart and sell over a million copies. Two years later he made a surprising move by abandoning rock to record country music, eventually hitting No. 1 on the country charts with Abilene, his best-known song.

In a career that lasted 58 years, Hamilton released 40 albums with 11 top-10 songs. He joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1960, was inducted into the N.C. Music Hall of Fame in 2010, and received multiple Grammy nominations. He also helped persuade the Country Music Association in Nashville to develop Fan Fare, now called the CMA Music Festival.

In June 1958 he married his high school sweetheart, Adelaide Tinky Peyton. A lifelong student of history and people, he was often found giving impromptu tours to fans at the Grand Ole Opry. USA Today wrote of him, In a business populated by brash and outlandish stars, Hamilton traded on subtlety, gentility, and decency.
