LynnNChicago Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
The only blog on Bravotv.com that we haven’t discussed is Lisa’s (and those who haven’t posted one yet) I left Lisa’s until last because it is both the shortest and the most powerful blog:
Lisa Vanderpump
Hello to you all.
I sit here at four o’clock in the morning after watching the reunion, still at a loss for words. It certainly looked the way it felt and I have no words to describe it.
We have seen the tea party, seen game night, and I understand that is how these women roll. But it’s not OK to accuse somebody viciously or to sit there silently as you watch a friend who is under attack for hours. That speaks volumes, and I for one don’t want any part of it.
I am not going to say anymore. It is what it is, and I will bounce back. I value your comments without them validating my sentiments. I would question my own judgment.
Thank you for your support. . .
Lisa
If this short blog doesn’t touch your heart, you’re not human. (ok it’s a reality show, let’s not get crazy) Seriously though, doesn’t this break your heart? I did tear up, I admit it. I think what hurts the most is that Lisa has done nothing to deserve this, at least nothing that we know. What caused Kyle, Taylor, Adrienne and Camille to turn against Lisa? Her snide, funny remarks are really that offensive to these women? Admittedly Taylor hasn’t said anything to Lisa…yet, it’ll be interesting to see if there is any interaction between Taylor and Lisa because Lisa reached out to befriend Taylor when she was hurting.
I’ve posted Lisa’s entire blog above but there are over 1500 comments that were posted from viewers there for Lisa and while I didn’t read them all, Lisa said that she did and they’re so supportive and loving that I certainly hope they made her feel a bit better, you can read them here:
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the women gang up on one person at a Housewives Reunion, is it?
Who can forget the Real Housewives of New Jersey? The first two seasons it was Danielle then most recently Teresa. The thing is with these two women we knew why the others ganged up on one Housewife, whether you agree or disagree, they had valid points, we watched Danielle at the Brownstone Charity Event with all the thugs in tow, we watched her conspire with a known ex-con, she was shady all season so we didn’t feel too badly for Danielle. (at least I didn’t)
In the case of last season, Teresa was called out on the many things that she had said and done and again if you agree or disagree, the fact is they had some legitimate gripes. Teresa and Danielle were able to try to defend their behavior. The New Jersey women actually had things they could point to, legitimate things not “you made fun of my dog”…you know what I mean? How could Lisa defend herself against such a stupid complaint. It was a joke!
Who can forget a few years back when Orange County’s Vicki Gunvalson was the target of 
the other ladies, even Vicki’s so-called “friend” Tamra let her have it. Vicki made Tamra kiss her butt for the entire following season to try to make up for it. Andy Cohen was criticized for being too hard on Vicki and at one point Vicki even stood up to walk off and threatened to not return for Season Six. (no such luck) Once again, Vicki had said and done some mean things that the OC Housewives could discuss.
Just a few months back we watched four vile ladies carry out an obvious planned attack on Alex McCord of The Real Housewives of New York. There was little they could point to that Alex had done to offend anyone, they simply kept telling her “be quiet Alex”, “Shut Up Alex” “This isn’t any of your business Alex” ”Stay out of it Alex”. It was so obvious that they all planned it in advance, it was the most vile thing I’ve ever seen….until now.
Lisa Vanderpump did nothing to these women, she admittedly made some smart-ass comments but she did the same thing last season, so what? It was nothing to get upset over, plenty of people have said plenty worse!
I think the most interesting of all the attacks is Kyle. These two women were friends, good friends. Lisa did nothing to Kyle except make one snide remark about Kyle doing the splits to get attention. Yet Kyle attacked Lisa saying that she preys on the weak, which was cruel and untrue. Kyle said that being friends with Lisa is like playing chess with Bobby Fisher. That line was pre-planned and certainly fed to Kyle by someone smarter than she is. Going on to say that Lisa is smart and even manipulative. When Lisa apologized they attacked her for the “way she did it”. Seriously, ridiculous!
The most cringe-worthy moment of the first hour of the reunion has to be Adrienne saying “Villa Cacka”, she looked like an absolute fool saying it. She looked over at Kyle with this stupid grin, giggled then said “Villa Cacka” then laughed even more, she was clearly embarrassed and she should be, it was vile and made her look ridiculous. This was pre-planned and no one will convince me that it wasn’t.
Some of Lisa’s Tweets:
In response to a supportive Tweet from Denise Richards:
LisaVanderpump to: @DENISE_RICHARDS ….thanks darling,it was a little cold out there!
In response to a viewer who suggested Lisa should sue Cedric:
LisaVanderpump because what do I sue him for? He owes me money…the more lies he says the more vile he looks..he lies about all of us
LisaVanderpump a lot of double standards…oh this one would never do that!! But when it comes to me….silence,no defense…strange.
LisaVanderpump I make the rules!…..just nobody follows them…
Lisa still has her sense of humor and she is getting a whole lot of support from viewers.
Kyle posted her blog but not on Bravo’s site, she posted it on her web site KyleRichards.net. It’s disappointing because we’ve seen this behavior before, when they fail to post on Bravo’s site but post on their own web site it allows them to control the comments/responses from viewers. I have a feeling Kyle didn’t want to see what viewers had to say on Bravotv.com. As soon as she Tweeted that the blog was up her site went down, apparently it wasn’t prepared for the onslaught of hits, if you weren’t able to get in, here is Kyle’s blog:
The Reunion….where to begin?? This is a day we all DREAD. None of us want to go back and discuss issues that have already been resolved or address things in FRONT of the cameras that happened OFF camera.
The day starts off with all of us happy but nervous. We are laughing, joking around and running back and forth to see each other as we are getting ready. Then comes the dreaded call…”They’re ready for you” …It feels like the walk to the electric chair. Ok, slight exaggeration but it’s not fun.
Andy, tells us where to sit and we take our seats. At first it’s fun and we are having a pretty good time. Then the hard questions come. We are expected to answer honestly. It’s not always easy. Many times I’ve wanted to say “May I be excused?”
Before I go on to what happened , I would like to address a rumor that was circulating Monday afternoon. Brandi had given an interview and said that Adrienne, Taylor and I had planned an attack on Lisa. I can promise you with all my heart and soul that that never happened. I was really upset about that because Lisa is my friend. By Brandi putting that out there, some people went into viewing the Reunion with a very different mindset . Later , after hearing that I gave a brief interview explaining that was not true, Brandi said she never spoke to me but had HEARD that Adrienne was planning a meeting to discuss “an attack”. I NEVER heard of any such meeting nor did I or WOULD I attend any such meeting. I know Adrienne would never do something like that. I don’t know how my name got dragged into this, and I was even more perplexed because Taylor never said anything to Lisa that could be considered an attack. I do not know what Brandi’s reason for saying that was. However, if it really was something she had just “heard” she shouldn’t have repeated that without knowing if it was true or not. Repeating hearsay can be dangerous. It was very hurtful to everyone. Probably, most hurtful to Lisa.
When we addressed the stuff that had been going on OFF camera between Lisa and me, I was not trying to be hurtful, but honest. I WAS upset that she had said one thing to my face about doing the splits at Pandora’s engagement party and then changed her tune in a video she shot for AOL. I knew the video was to get back at me for the “maybe she preys on the weak people” comment. Lisa knows my personality and knows I’ve been known to do crazier stuff than the splits WITHOUT cameras around, just to make my friends laugh. That is who I am. Everyone there , including Lisa had known I was hurt by that. I would have felt like a hypocrite if I had not been honest about it. I should have chosen my words more carefully during that conversation with Taylor when I made that comment that upset Lisa. I would have preferred if we had just handled the issue alone, without cameras, which we HAD done and gotten past. However, during the reunion these issues are brought up again. Then we have to re live them over and over. Then just when you think you’re past it…Re runs!!
When Andy asked me what was going on between Adrienne and Lisa I was extremely uncomfortable. I am friends with BOTH of them! I think a lot of people think I am only close with Lisa, however, Mauricio and I are also close with Adrienne and Paul. (as well as the rest of the cast) In addition to that, Adrienne has been very kind to my sister Kim during a very difficult time in her life.
As Lisa and Adrienne started to get into it , I felt awful. There were many times I wanted to chime in and didn’t because of the fact that they are both my friends. How could I defend one and not the other? I also know that these two women are strong and can hold their own. The people pleaser in me (not a good trait or one that I am proud of) didn’t want either one of them to be upset with me. So I stayed out of it. Most of us did. This argument was a long time coming and I had not been involved with any of their issues. However, when the day was finished, I felt bad about not speaking up at certain times.
Clearly , I would have my own battles to fight…When Brandi came in we joked about her getting married in Vegas. I had teased her via text about it right after she got married and we had laughed. All was fine between Brandi and me…so I thought.
The drama continues next week…

This is a lot of what Kyle told me on the phone. She told me that she is friends with all of the women and that she and her husband like them all. While Kyle disputed Brandi’s claim, I simply don’t see why Brandi would make that up. The bottom line is that the ladies did attack Lisa and you can’t deny what we saw, it happened. Worse than that, I don’t think it’s over by any means. As Brandi joins the ladies the heat is shifted a bit from Lisa to Brandi but I have a feeling these women aren’t finished with Lisa, not by a longshot.
BrandiGlanville @TheRealCamilleG @LisaVanderpump I luv u both I know Lisa didn’t want me on the show be4 cuz of C wrd.Who can blame her,she loves me now tho
Brandi tweeted this in response to all of the discussion of Camille’s Tweet (which was originally a private DM sent to a Twitter friend of mine) I posted it here and as a result Camille has blocked me. Camille told my friend that Lisa never wanted Brandi on the show because of the Cedric connection, no secret there. Camille added, “you don’t know anything” in her private tweet which was completely unnecessary and mean. If you think of the message behind this tweet, why would Camille say that if not to try to turn people against Lisa? Camille knows that Brandi has become popular but it was no secret that Lisa wasn’t fond of Brandi in the beginning, we watched Brandi win her over.
The night Camille got nasty with some viewers (and blocked a LOT of people on Twitter) she was Tweeting well past 2am (LA Time) and while I’m just speculating, could it have been a little too much to drink that caused Camille to be mean, possibly? I’ve gotten Tweets and emails from at least 8 people who have told me that Camille blocked them on Twitter. I’m sure there were more that didn’t share it with me. What a shame! Camille must be taking lessons from “she who may not be named”.
Real Housewives of Orange County
The new season doesn’t start until Tuesday but Bravo aired a 10-minute preview of the upcoming Orange County Housewives series last night.
We did not get to see Orange County’s newest Housewife but we did see Vicki explaining what has been going on in her life since the reunion last season. Her daughter has moved out of the house and has rented an apartment with a girlfriend, we know that Brianna wasn’t happy with Vicki at the end of last season. Vicki told us at the reunion that Brianna had become disrespectful and angry since she dumped Donn and took up with her new man Brooks.
Vicki’s son Michael still lives and works with Vicki as we watched the two of them tidy the house to prepare it to be shown to potential buyers, the house is for sale. Vicki tells us that her ex-husband Donn continues to live in the house for financial reasons but that she has not seen him in two months. That must be one big house!
Vicki tells us that she is seeing a new man, Brooks (but we already knew that) he lives in Mississippi and they see each other approximately twice a month.
Gretchen is primping and getting her pageant hair just right in her bathroom when Slade 
walks in asking her where she’s going. Gretchen hesitates to tell him the truth because it turns out she is going to meet OC’s #1 mean girl, Tamra Barney. Slade is none too happy as he reminds Gretchen of all the horrible things that Tamra has done, not only to them but to others in Orange County (cut to Tamra shoving a C&D letter at Jeana then throwing a drink in her face). Don’t forget all of the horrible things Tamra has said and done to both Gretchen and Slade.
Gretchen explains to Slade that she wants to try to put all of that behind them and Gretchen’s talking head interview includes her telling viewers that Slade doesn’t control her or tell her who to be friends with. I have to say, I’m with Slade on this one, why on earth would Gretchen ever want to be friends with the vile Tamra Barney?
Cut to Tamra’s talking head interview where she tells viewers that it’s become exhausting researching and trying to come up with dirt on Gretchen and Slade, “and for what?” she asks us. That’s a question we’ve been asking Tamra for about three years. The funny part is that Gretchen didn’t seem to be the one researching Tamra, but Tamra was digging for dirt on all of her cast mates, because that’s how she rolls. Tamra explained on last season’s reunion how Alexis and Jim Bellino filed bankruptcy, short sold their house and then were able to buy another home. Really Tamra? Whether it is true or not, who is she to out everyone? Tamra Barney clearly has too much time on her hands if she’s researching and digging up dirt on her cast mates. (leave that to us viewers Tamra!) haha
We’ve already heard the rumors that Tamra and Gretchen become buddies this season to the distaste of one Vicki Gunvalson. This is obviously the beginning of a disgusting friendship. If Gretchen, who I found the least offensive last season, becomes friends with the vicious Tamra Barney I will have lost all respect for her! I’m having trouble liking any of the Orange County Housewives, let’s hope this new girl Heather is likable, we need someone we can get behind this season. That’s a whole lot of pressure for one woman.
Will you be watching the Orange County Housewives on Tuesday? I know I will so be sure to stop by here for the RHOOC blog on Wedensday.
Project Runway All Stars by MichellefromNY
I want to start by publicly thanking the fabulous BB for saving my butt last week when I let my husband whisk me off on a romantic evening for my birthday and completely forgetting to record the show. BB, you are my hero!!
On to the show!
The designers go out in the heat and meet Angela in Central Park. She announces that the next challenge will be about designers and their muse. They need to find a muse and create a “fashion-forward” look. The twist is that they have to convince the “muse” to give the clothes off their back. Literally. They are given money to help them get the people to give them their clothes and whatever they have leftover is used to buy fabric. They also get two days to finish this project so that really helps.
This challenge is ca-raazzy. They are given clothes to give to their muses so they won’t be running around naked and they have black fabric to use as a “on-the-go” dressing room so the muses can change. Phew!
They are given cameras to take pictures so they remember their looks and are running as fast as they can around central park to find muses. Anthony finds a cute but awkward looking woman in some sort of farmers market with a colorful top and asks if he can have it. As if in a trance, she just says yes and she gives it to him. He is the only one who is an instant success. The other designers are having a difficult time getting people to part with their clothes as they have to deal with New Yorkers who don’t even want to hear their “elevator pitch” and are in a rush to get to places.
Apparently, the designers are not limited to one specific muse, as designers try to nab different pieces of people’s clothing. Mondo is hating this challenge, Kenley is mortified, and all the designers are sweating buckets as they run, out of breath, to find some poor hapless soul willing to sell their clothes.
The designers soon find people willing to part with their outfit of the day. Austin finds some cool artsy-fartsy chick who is into glam punk and I’m shocked he wanted to work with her look knowing how over-the-top girly and prom dress his aesthetic is. Kenley finds a mom wearing a v-neck black and white striped silk top and buys it. Mondo manages to convince a shy girl to give up her colorful tribal print maxi dress AND her brand new coat for only $60. Seriously? This challenge is starting to feel super coercive and slightly illegal to me, just saying. Jarrell talks up some chick into giving up her striped jersey top while Kara flirts with a guy to get his strawberry melon shirt. Michael finds this gorgeous girl wearing a crochet lace top that when he saw her it was like Jesus came back and he had to have that top.
Anthony finds this really hot shirtless guy (read–gay) and insists on taking his cutoff jeans. The guy gamely pulls down his pants revealing that this guy wears some nice black Diesel briefs. Of course, the girl designers go wild and even Austin claims to have been all over that and got his number.
The designers are in Mood and 50% of the outfit needs to be the clothes they got from their “muse”. Jerrel got nothing because his whole outfit will be from the street. Of course, getting those clothes was expensive so the designers find themselves going over budget. This causes the designers having to finagle figuring out how to cut expenses. Kara needs only three dollars to be able to purchase what she needs, and Michael, Kenley, and Anthony all chip in a dollar to help her make her budget. Don’t you love when designers are nice to each other and not trying to sabotage one another? Always a good feeling when watching a reality competition.
They get to their workspace and begin designing and sewing. Anthony doesn’t know what he will do, but he got a lot of fabric from the street so he’s confident. Michael is starting to freak out over his crochet fabric because he doesn’t feel as inspired as he wanted to be.
The next day, the designers continue working. Mondo thinks Michael starting to feel the pressure coming off of two wins. Anthony is starting to realize that perhaps getting fabric from a million people was a bad idea since he isn’t so great at putting scraps together. Jerell saw a lot of exposed skin so wants to make something with regard to that.
Joanna Coles comes in and heads straight for Mondo. She reminds him that he hasn’t won a challenge but that street style is his sort of thing so he should do well. She goes to Jerell and is anxious about his crazy, eclectic mix of prints, but he assures her that it will look fabulous when completed. She tells Austin that the epaulets are nice, but I agree with Mila in that the product looks overworked–there’s too much going on. Joanna is surprised by the direction Anthony is going because she sees him as a “gown maker”. She thinks Michael’s crochet lace looks like doilies and Michael is not happy about that.
After Joanna critiqued his “doily dress”, Michael decides to do something totally different and comes up with a unique pink lace dress that he is piecing together to create something beautifully architectural. The models arrive for fittings and Mondo has a really cool mixed-texture jacket that I can’t wait to see on the runway. Austin thinks Jerell’s outfit is tasteless–which I found funny considering what he comes up with is usually worse than tasteless–its grotesque–but whatever. Anthony is questioning himself to the degree that he doesn’t even have a garment to fit his model.
Kara, Mila, and Kenley are the last three girls left but Kara is confident that the girls will do well this round because their stuff is looking good so far. Anthony, out of frustration because his dated looks don’t work, comes up with a black and melon jumpsuit. The only problem is, I don’t see where he incorporated the challenge fabric.
Its the day of the runway show and the designers finish up their designs. Anthony says that Kenley is too loud. The models come in for final fittings and drama ensues. It turns out that Kenley is helping Kara finish her pants. Michael is not too happy about this and goes and gossips to Mila about what Kenley is doing. Mila is annoyed because Kenley has been giving advice all day and being really annoyingly loud.
The models get their hair and makeup done and its runway time. Angela comes out wearing a blue jersey shift dress that I’m not in love with (stop disappointing me Angela! You have freaking Heidi to compete with, step it up girl!) The guest judge this week is Sean Avery who is a hockey player who is now a rising star in the fashion world after interning at Vogue.
Michael’s look is first and its an interesting pink lace bustier onesie with a knit bottom. I’m a little disappointed in the construction of the bust because it looked so much more structural on the dress form. Here it looks a little sad and droopy. I love that he did a hot pants which I think is super fun, but this is NOT exactly the most wearable look people.
Austin’s dress is a grey jacket with a black miniskirt punctuated with grey striped plumes. I actually mostly like it (I know, surprising, given my loathing of Austin), but it is a but overworked with the detail in the left breast. But really, not too bad overall. I do like the girly silhouette contrasted against the edgy vibe of the materials and accessories.
Kara’s look is a high-waisted pant made from her muse’s skirt, a one-shoulder bustier top, and a sleeveless cardigan. The oats are nice but I hate the top. The florals seem dated and not very fashion forward.
Mila’s outfit is another separates look with a stripy tee, a black vest, and a monochromatic black and grey colorblocked pant. I LOVE those pants. They geometric design just looks so amazing and just plain cool on the model. I’m obsessed, I have to have them. The vest is nice too and the striped tee’s deconstructed aesthetic worked with the downtown vibe of this outfit.
Next up is Jerell with a very tribal look. Its a halter style striped bikini-like top, with a really cool and well-constructed bright orange super cropped sweater (we’re talking above the chest area short). With the necklace, it looks awesome. But the shapeless skirt looks like he got it from a hippie commune. Also, I haven’t seen that much stomach since Britney Spears in ‘I’m a Slave 4 U” with that huge yellow python. Low rise jeans and midriff baring tops have gone the way of the dinosaur since the early 00′s, so it wasn’t exactly a fashion forward choice.
Rami’s look is a black business-like vest with a layered brown swirl print top trimmed in black and white stripes and some cuffed khaki shorts which is also trimmed in black and white stripe. Its ok, I like the jacket and short, but the top seems like a little too much fabric. I also am not a fan of the trim, it reads tacky to me.
I love Kenley’s dress. Its just a cool mashup of prints with an overall black and white stripe motif that Kenley punctuated well by mixing both the direction and girth of the stripes. Even though its a crazy combination, the stripes grounding the rest of the prints make it wearable. I also like the silhouette with a high-crewneck and cap sleeves in a ladylike knee-length sheath. Its so Kenley and I love that.
Anthony’s jumpsuit comes down the runway and I think the melon pants and super super deep v-neck are pretty and sexy. I love the overskirt at the waist which is created from the extra volume in the pant, really nice. I’m not really seeing where his look aligns with his muse, but the bag looks like it could be made from the psychedelic floral top of the cute, awkward girl. Maybe the judges will ignore that he didn’t really do the challenge?
Last is Mondo. Omg, I love his denim jacket. Its absolutely stunning. I love the colorblocked effect of piecing together green, blue, and black together. I would buy this cropped jacket in a New York second. The model unzips it to reveal a high waisted multi print short and black and white mod print bra top. See, Jerell? THIS is how you show some skin in a fashion forward way, without resorting to dated midriff looks from 1999.
Overall, the designers seemed to have done well. The three girls–Kara, Kenley, and Mila are all deemed safe and so they leave the runway.
On to critique. Rami is first. Georgina likes the trim on the shorts and thinks its well-made. Angela wants to see professionals work a look like this. Isaac likes the look and congratulates him on doing a good job with shorts which he says are hard.
Next is Michael. Georgina doesn’t see many walking around New York in hot pants. Angela thought it was a swimsuit. Isaac doesn’t like the sageness of the top. Sean doesn’t like how bare it is.
Jerell is up. Isaac thinks it looks like it came off the stage of the Lion King as Angela hides a smirk. Sean thinks it looks like a combo of Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani on acid. Georgina loves what he did on top and is torn because the rest of it doesn’t live up to that.
Mondo. Angela would die for this outfit. Georgina loves the detailing on the back of the jacket and the way the print shapes the bum in a flattering way. Isaac loves how bare, yet how covered it is. Sean can picture any girl wearing this.
Anthony is next. Angela likes it and Sean would do a “double back” if a woman walked by him wearing that. Georgina loves the look, but reminds him that the challenge was to have 50% be the clothes of the muse. Isaac doesn’t think it answers the challenge.
Austin is up. Georgina loves the proportion and the contrast of tough and sweet. Sean thinks there’s a little much on the left shoulder. Isaac doesn’t like the ripped stocking or the lapels, but its fabulous. Angela thinks his muse would love to wear it.
The judges discuss who they liked and who they didn’t. They like Rami, Austin, and Mondo. They don’t like Michael, Jerell, and they feel they can’t judge Anthony for not completing the challenge.
Mondo wins this challenge. Hooray! He definitely deserved it. Rami and Austin are safe and leave the runway. Now on to the least favorites. Jerell is safe and leaves the runway. Its between Anthony and michael. Going from the top last week to the bottom this week is a low blow for Michael. And the person going home this week is Anthony. If it weren’t for the fact that Anthony screwed up the challenge and didn’t use his muse’s fabric properly, Michael would have gone home no question.
Great job Michelle, sorry I couldn’t add more photos, with the site being down this morning it was all I could do to get it posted. Thanks for understanding everyone, especially Michelle! xo
Michelle’s Daily Dose of Style:
Michelle has kindly agreed to give us a style tip of the day and her first one is an excellent one:
Incorporating color into your wardrobe is a great way to liven up your look. Don’t be afraid of it! In fact, for those of you who like to hide in black-on-black, wearing black doesn’t necessarily equate flattering–especially if the fit is off. Color can also breathe new life into your look by bringing out your fabulous haircolor or your gorgeous eyes. If color scares you, try doing a “pop” of color such as with a rich melon shirt, or emerald green pumps.
Thanks Michelle, I look forward to tomorrow’s tip!

“I tried the Psorasis/Eczema Pack at Julia’s suggestion, my granddaughter gets eczema and the poor thing itches like crazy nothing the doctor recommended worked. The hemp/mint body wash immediately took the red out and gave her such relief. The lotion after her bath let her finally sleep thru the night. I would have paid a million dollars to get that angry red rash off and to see her smile again this was the only thing that worked and it was worth every dime thank you Julia.”

Morning!
Morning doll!
Good afternoon all. #FF Freedom Friday, Flashback Friday, Friday Friday. Woo hoo!
I LOVE Friday!
Vey iz mir! I am first! Yippy Skippy!
1. Anyone else having a hard time getting the site to load this morning? Just wondering if my IT department is onto me or not!
I don’t understand the last sentence of Lisa’s blog. I love that she actually wrote that she values the comments without using them to validate her sentiments, but that very last sentence, “I would question my own judgement,” what is that referring to? It confuses me.
OMG I though for a second fake Lynn downed the sight!!!! Just kidding!
I wanted to cry for Lisa. I am so sad for her!
My posts are timing out if I take more than a few seconds to submit them.
rizz- I took it to mean that the comment section didn’t have to be an echo chamber of her feelings, that she would understand if viewers criticized her judgment when it came to choosing friends and the like. Could be wrong, but that’s what I gleaned from it.
Hang in there I guess it’s the hosting site according to my IT person (I have an IT person, isn’t that cool?) lol
She said we’ll just have to wait it out, at least the site is back up! whew!
Riz you don’t EVEN want to know what my son did yesterday… But I’m going to tell you it involved the removal of a diaper and well Let me say he needed 2 bath’s to clean him all the way! THANK GOD I check on him often!
I’m so happy my daughter hasn’t discoverd the diaper, other than pulling up on it! She is WAY more into chewing on the feet of her sleepers than actually venturing towards the diaper!
It as like as SOON as he turned 2 he discovered his penis!!! I’m going to die!!!! I’ve been doing his sheets twice a day!!!! Today I’m going to go camo and sneak in there and re pamper him while he sleeps and PRAYS he doesn’t wake up!!!!
DOES ANYONE have advise to get him to stop that doesn’t require tape or glue???
Is he playing with his poop or just taking his diaper off? Maybe it’s time to start potty training if you haven’t started yet and offer rewards to discourage the bad behavior?
As for penis touching, dude, he’s a guy. Grown men still grab it for good measure, like it’ll fall off without them knowing or something. No offense Jeff!
I have started but he REALLY responds to his dad. SO on this one my hands are tied!!!
Yeah I know guys grab them selves but I was hoping that it would not happen till he was potty trained. SO MUCH FOR YOU DREAMS AMERICA!!!!
He’s pretty wild for me in the potty and he just tries to toss it into the tub.
OH WELL
He’ll probably be President some day. And we’ll all know. LOL!
My SIL used a reward system for potty training her boys and it worked really well so that’s what I’ll probably do with my daughter.
Everytime they pee in the potty they get a sticker, everytime they poop they get two. If they get like 20 stickers a week or something to that effect then they get to go out and have fun somewhere on Saturday, if not they sit home while everyone else goes out. Then after a few weeks you subtract stickers for accidents.
Stickers worked well for my older daughter too, she is a sticker fool.
JKyle, sorry about the poo situation…been there. I think both of my girls managed to take their diapers off in their cribs several times before they turned 1..yuck
UCH!! 4 months to go!! C’mon DD!!
hehe….good luck! The first time I walked in the room to see a naked baby w/poop smeared everywhere…omg. Of course they never make any noise to let me know they are awake until AFTER the poop is done being played with. Haven’t had any incidents in a while though, ODD had been pottytrained since 2 and YDD doesn’t mess with her diapers at all anymore. Lol, lovely topic eh?
JKyle, when my daughter was in that phase, I would put a onesie on her backwards under her pj’s (she couldn’t reach the snaps)….
Thanks for all the LOVE and advise!!!
OK – in the interest of being up front with all my friends, I just want to mention that I find it a little more than a little irritating to wade through a lot of comments about pee, poop, and who did what with their diapers. I do know that you guys are in fact in the most adorable days of your lives and totally in love with your lucky little people. But might there be another way you could connect on the joys of mother hood? Or perhaps it’s good that we share all of the ups and downs of life here? I’m a little frustrated trying to connect thoughts on the housewives as I wade through more unrelated comments. Feel free to tell me to get over it – and I will because I do LUV LUV LUV MY GALS! And that is you. But….?
My son used to do that. It must be a boy thing! Thank goodness those days are over!
The blog breaks my heart. She sounds so hurt. Yes the last sentence reads odd.
Agreed. I read Lisa’s comment about it not being OK to sit there silently while a friend is being attacked, as a reference to Taylor. After filming wrapped (and after Russell’s suicide), Lisa befriended Taylor and supported her very publicly during a difficult time for Taylor, last fall. This reunion was filmed the first week of January – after all of Lisa’s friendship and support. If Taylor were a real friend, she would have said something in defense of Lisa. I believe this, and I also believe this is what Lisa is alluding to when she condemns sitting there silently while another attacks.
But the last 2 sentences are very weird, I don’t understand.
I think she was just saying that she appreciates the kindness of supportive viewers – also saying that she’s not looking to viewers for support. She’s just being British – trying to keep a stiff, upper lip.
I don’t think she meant to put a period there, I think it was suppose to be all one sentence and that she would have been questioning her judgment if she hadn’t gotten so much support from the viewers. She would have been wondering if they were right if all the viewers hadn’t seen it the same way she did.
You are right! I think that that period was supposed to be a comma. Making this change COMPLETELY clears up any confusion. Thanks for chiming in.
Good morning again!
A re-post from earlier…
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/02/taylor-armstrong-death-threats-identity-revealed-teenage-girl
Sorry, but the way this has all been played out on Radaronline bothers me.
I haven’t taken my tinfoil cap off yet.
Isn’t it funny that Lisa is accused of selling stories there yet InflataLips is constantly featured there?
Coincidence? I think not!
It’s also interesting that in the report, it says “a source”, and not “an FBI source”.
There’s absolutely no confirmation that any of it occurred. Every bit of it is heresay.
Wonder how much she paid the teenager?
If there even was a teenager, or anyone for that matter.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG!!!
Sorry… hearsay.
This timing out thing is making me rush!
rm… i found info yesterday on her..wont divulge till FBI confirms..but she’s underage…. they cant reveal her name
So, at least she does exist.
waiting on confirmation before i post the link
Tell them to hurry up! Lol.
Can’t wait to hear what you’ve found out
You have me in suspense now!
I was guessing it was Andy. No, no, not really — just would be funny. The hint that we’d be surprised who it was was enough to send my imagination into overdrive!
Rm…KEEP THE HAT ON FOR NOW…. wink
Missed you yesterday, Diva!
Thought I’d bring my favorite site back another time…
http://zapatopi.net/afdb/
hehehe. Rm you sleigh me:)
Kyle will never take accountability for actions EVER. Instead she will reframe, reword, and reinterpret comments to excuse herself from guilt. I couldn’t believe her cop out the reunion for “prey on weak” comment about Lisa. Instead of apologizing and admitting that the comment was hurtful….she makes excuses and states she wasn’t talking about Lisa. REally Kyle Really……using the word “maybe” doesn’t discount that this comment was insulting. It is frustrating when you clearly see her hypocrisy and see her continue to spin the story to eliminate any ownership of her actions.
Remember when she had dinner with Ken and Lisa and she was pretty much aggressively talking to Lisa regarding Ken’s comment about therapy. Ummm that kinda debunks her reasoning where she states that if she is dealing with two friends she stays out of it to avoid siding with another. She basically ripped into Ken and Lisa on Taylor’s behalf….how does this situation follow her logic of keeping quiet? Kyle is full of contridictions.
I thought the worse was she would not accept ANY form of apology from Lisa. That is when you saw the PLAN CRACK!!!!! They were hoping Lisa would put up a fight. BUT LISA”S SMART and they did not take that into consideration! She deflected ALL attacks by simply saying sorry. My husband used to just argue and fights would go on forever, than he would say he was sorry! Now he just skips the arguing and apologizes! If you mess up or inadvertently hurt someone’s feelings, sorry always works. AND they did NOT count on that!!!! HA Go LISA!!
She goes where the wind blows.
Notice how she had no problem going along with what everyone wanted regarding kicking the Armstrongs out from her party? Yup, that was the “popular” thing to do then. All she cares about is people liking her.
And honestly? The other HWs have said repeatedly that they are not all friends and outside of filming don’t see each other, so why the hell does Kyle keep going on and on about how she is such great friends with these women?
“He who hath many friends hath none.” Aristole
Because Maurice wants to keep these women as clients
Yes, I think Kyle is about status and having the right connections in BH. I really don’t think she understands real friendship at all.
THIS.
Well there is nothing like finding the cast repugnant to get me to stop watching a show and/or repeats. RHONY ruined by JZ, RHOBH by Vile Kyle and RHOC by Trashy Tamra and Vickster. Bravo was showing RHOBH for the upteenth time and the Vile one was turning on the waterworks. Click! Modern Family.
Vile Kyle HA
Well I honestly don’t know if I can even watch the second reunion. I can’t STAND to see Lisa betrayed. I can only yell at the TV so loud! Someone pointed out yesterday that at the white party Adrienne kept saying to everyone “were all on the same page right?” And that poster (my apologies I can’t recall who you are) was SO right on. That is Adrienne’s MO. I have to believe Brandi on this one, habits are habits and this REEKS of Adrienne! I don’t know what it is A has against Lisa but this has gone WAY to far, accusations of selling stories to tabloids. I mean does Adrienne expect us to believe that? IF anyone was going to sell a story they would have OUTED Taylor’s claims of abuse! BOOM!!!! That’s a NO brainer. Adrienne will not be happy until she sees Lisa publicly humiliated and GUESS WHAT HOOFS YORU THE ONE WHO LOOKS STUPID!!!
On a more personal note I hope MammaZ is out there somewhere, I miss you arguing with me!!! It all comes from and with love and I hope no matter what any of my opinions are, I am more than type and I am always open to good discussion! So don’t go away!!!! Your comments are always a treat even if I don’t always agree with them. You seem like a wonderful person and I hope you had a better day after you left the blog.
LOVE LOVE LOVE
!!!!!!!!AND HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!
I hope MAMAZ comes back. I heart her.
Hey guys, she’s been back. She was back this morning and said she had a busy day ahead of her and she’d be back tonight. All’s good.
Thanks for the update BB she’s the BEST!
I keep getting a message that my request has timed out, please try again. Not typing my comments a second time. But thanks Michelle, my comment was about Runway.
That sounded snippy. Didn’t mean too. I know there are IT problems going on.
Didn’t mean to. Arrggggh. I just need to give it up for today. Lol
BB,
If you click the back button, your comment will still be there, and you can post.
Or go to where you wanted to reply and click that button again you message should still be there. Mine are!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
I just figured that out. Thanks for the hint.
From Kyle’s blog:
“However, if it really was something she had just “heard” she shouldn’t have repeated that without knowing if it was true or not. Repeating hearsay can be dangerous. It was very hurtful to everyone. Probably, most hurtful to Lisa.”
Kind of like Adrienne repeating the story about Lisa’s selling stories to the tabloids. She checked with Lisa first to make sure that was true, right? Oh, never mind.
Logic has no place here! What are you thinking?!
OH. MY. GAWDDD. *headdesk*
I don’t see how it was hearsay, in any case – Brandi was asked to join in a meeting to talk about how they would be handling Lisa at the reunion – she declined to participate. That’s not hearsay.
I doubt Kyle even knows what “hearsay” means.
Michelle, what I tried to say earlier was thanks for the recap on PRA. I wanted Jerell to go home, but I guess Anthony didn’t play by the rules and he didn’t look that devastated about getting the boot. Also, I like Kenley’s style too, but she’s not gong to win by making the same cute dress over and over. She has not stepped out of her comfort zone once and those who don’t take chances don’t win. At least Rami is trying different things.
What is up with Jarrell this season? HE IS TRYING TO HARD to be sassy and it’s ANNOYING!!! He was one of my fav’s for commentary the season he was on but now, FF till he’s gone!!!
In Jerell’s talking heads, he reminds me of She by Sheree of Atlanta.
HAHAHA he does!!!!
Jerell was pretty nasty towards the end of the first season he was on. He spent a lot of time saying nasty things in the talking head interviews about other designers. He seems very unhappy to me. I hope Kenley does not trust him because he really does not like her, much. IMO.
I could also live without Michael C’s open mouthed surprised crying without tears. Remind you of anyone?
I’m going to reserve judgement on Camille.
They were all bashing on Lisa at her tea party and Camille really came to Lisa’s defense by calling Taylor out on her bull. What was the result of that? Lisa and Taylor become buddy-buddy and Camille gets a bulls-eye on her back by Taylor.
With the ensuing episodes Camille got no real support from the housewives with respect to Taylor until Taylor’s husband send out the threatening email. Remember Brandi’s beach party? Brandi gave some support by asking Taylor to leave when she was going insane and Kyle just SAVAGED her for doing it.
Camille came to Lisa’s defense and really got burned for doing so, so I’m going to grant the woman a little leeway. She may be acting a little petty but she hasn’t been as bad, in my view as the others. I know Lynn is upset with her but I’m still cutting for her.
That’s good of you! I am having the same feelings about Kyle. I can’t hate her but I will not think so highly of her from now on.
Kyle saying Brandi was reporting Hearsay? When Brandi heard it from Adrienne about a possible meeting with Adrienne, it doesn’t fall to the level of hearsay (except in court testimony). However, Adrienne repeating what a reporter or someone’s supposed friend told her about what Lisa had said or done? Now THAT is repeating hearsay on camera. Kyle should be criticizing Adrienne, not Brandi, for believing and repeating gossip…..and unbelievable gossip that was nasty. Lisa criticizing a chef employed by a neighbor (I refuse to call Adrienne a friend now) or Lisa getting paid to sell stories? Please, neither is at all believable, and both smack of Cedric’s lies or a reporter trying to con stories out of others.
Honey she can’t criticize Adrienne. Adrienne is looking for a new house!!! Her husband needs the sale! just sayin!!!!! Can you hear Marice? Honey, please don’t piss off the MalHOOF’s at the reunion……
ITA
And Camille has mentioned downsizing in Malibu too
DING!!!
You’re my friend, so long as you have a house my husband can sell to support my ass. But after it’s sold, all bets are off and game on like Bobby Fisher!
LMFAO E I <3 you, I have laughed out loud at like 5 of your posts since I got on the site
♥feeling is quite mutual!♥
Too funny! And sadly there is probably a lot of truth in that.
Maybe I am in the minority, but I am not surprised that Camille would not be happy that you posted a private message, meant for someone else, on your site. It sounds like she was frustrated that what she said at the reunion was being misconstrued. I would be frustrated, too, if people were guessing at what went down and then jumping all over me not knowing the whole story. She probably is tired of it and got mad and said who needs this. I think it is a bit unfair to jump on her about this and make her out to be a villain again because she blocked some people. I am very concerned that you wrote that she might be drinking because the tweets happened to be early in the morning. I am sorry, but I think that is an unfair accusation or speculation. I like this site but I am worried about how comments like this are affecting real people.
I thought Lynn posted the tweets after she was blocked? Am I wrong?
Please see below. If I am misunderstanding, I am sorry.
Sorry I had replied early this morning, and couldn’t get back till 2pm cst.
Mrspepper, I agree. Lynn, I think you’re wonderful but I don’t think it was right to make a private DM public. I can’t blame Camille for being upset about it. And as someone who suffers from periodic insomnia, just because a person is up at 2 in the morning doesn’t necessarily mean they’re drunk.
I don’t know Camille personally (duh!) but with what she is going through with her ex and child custody issues, she’s got a lot on her plate and I can understand her being cautious about saying anything — and not being able to sleep. One thing I do admire about her is that she does speak out when the truth is at issue. I heard what she said at the reunion about Lisa and ROL as a defense of the truth (and Lisa), not an attack, though it came across as subtle. Perhaps Camille was attempting to stay neutral while correcting Adrienne’s vicious assumption.
I think the HWs need to watch this video. Jenna Marbles, modern day philosopher on why girls hate each other. *Caution* If you’re sensitive to harsh language please do not watch (f-bombs and such). If you have some time watch some of her other videos-hysterical!
I usually reserve my F that Biatch for after she opens her mouth!!!
This girl is pretty cute though I liked the video it was refreshing. (I don’t really agree with her but she’s hilarious)
Thanks for the link: ME LIKEY LINKS!!!!
You’re most welcome. What do you disagree with? Just curious…
I LIKE to believe that now after the market crash people look at things with a disconcerting eye. I mean most people livin large I THINK, are living on borrowed money. Mid you this is what I think!!!
I am going to watch more of her video’s she’s really funny! Thanks for the share!
I recommend you watch her video about her roommate and the baby that he brings to the apartment. Hilarious…
Lmao! I don’t think we’re talking about the same video! Lol!!!! I totally agree with you about living within means but the video I thought I posted was about why women hate each other!!!
I don’t think I can like Adrienne after what she did. I think that was her last chance with me. What professional, classy, and level headed woman would take hearsay as truth about their ‘friend’? Not only that, but bring it up at the reunion in front of everyone. She had plenty of opportunities to confront Lisa about it before filming. Slander indeed! Adrienne has lost it this season. Green and greedy? Foolish! If she would come out and totally apologize, I might give her another chance. All she continues to do is ignore what she did by retweeting love and hugs from her fans to convince us that she has a huge following on her side. Bogus!
Just because Adrienne says she is a saavy business woman doesn’t mean it is true!
Sorry, as far as Adriennes claims of being a “savvy business” woman she does not speak or articulate herself very well. I just think people tend to believe her because of her families businesses.
Just because Kyle thinks she’s a “people pleaser” doesn’t make it true. Or Taylor “finally finding her voice” when she never shut up in Season 1. Denial is when we don’t even know we are lying”.
JtS
“Denial is when we don’t even know we are lying”
So true! I like how you phrased that.
Trudie, the therapist on “Ruby” said it. I usually use quotation marks, but was having trouble posting the morning.
(( What professional, classy, and level headed woman would take hearsay as truth about their ‘friend’?))
Exactly, and she’s so lawsuit skittish!! so why do it?
Test
1 2 3
They’re still saying that we’re going to be” shocked”.
I’d better be *shocked*, or I’m going to be very disappointed after all this build up! Lol.
*A source close to the situation told the site the anonymous Twitterer is no longer anonymous — in fact, it’s a teen girl from New Jersey. “The FBI has identified a suspect that made the threats, they know who it is. The suspect doesn’t live in California, and the public will be shocked to learn who it is. Taylor and Kennedy are safe and secure.”*
http://www.okmagazine.com/news/fbi-identifies-taylor-armstrong-perpetrator
I just saw it on radaronline.com….I guess we are supposed to be shocked because she is 13, and lives in NJ?
Is it Milania?!
So I’m not the only one who was thinking that? LOL!
Oh thank God, I wasn’t alone!
How utterly hilarious would that be?
I bet Andy Cohen would give his right arm for that to be the case.
LOL
LOL! The same question crossed my mind. But in a totally LVP humorous kind of way.
@erizzle Lmao!
I really find it interesting how Kyle goes out of her way to tell everyone that she is not really a mean girl at all! Anyone that saw her at that party at Dana’s, saw the real Kyle. She is a master of the side comment that is nasty about many of the girls, not just Lisa. I think out of everyone, Kyle knows that the public is not fond of her anymore. I would not want her as a friend.
Kyle can claim she is honest and she is not mean but she hasn’t figured out a way to get herself out of the messes she made this season.
Kyle can’t resolve the conflict that she’s created, because she does not accept responsibility when she attacks others. She is severely lacking critical social skills.
I have never known a mean girl that fest up to their behavior. Somewhat like bullies always feeling misunderstood or just not caring about how they effect other peoples feelings.
Lynn wrote above that she posted it here and was blocked as a result. I guess I’m just saying I am not surprised that Camille blocked Lynn when Camille realized people were sending her private messages to them, to Lynn, and those messages were being posted on Lynn’s blog. I understand that Lynn would not be happy about being blocked but I don’t think it is fair to vilify Camille because of it. Sorry, it is just my opinion and I apologize if I am missing something.
Sorry this is supposed to be in reply to JKyle above.
Oh I don’t know when she posted them and when she was blocked. That’s why I said, am I wrong? I was hoping for clarification.
Were cool I’m not upset at all! I don’t always agree with Lynn she enjoys a good debate!!!
!!!!!!HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!
cant post? Help!
If it’s timing out, click your back button and your comment will still be there to post. Then just post it FAST.
On phone
on pc and posting are not going through w/o difficulty
My back button didn’t work….but the refresh button seems to!
refresh and retry works
That’s a good trick!
My comments aren’t still there when I hit back.
The Hoofess trades in gossip from cooks and squatters. She failed to capitalize on business opportunities because she doesn’t follow up on them. And the bitch just can’t take a joke.
Trades in gossip, poor business woman who never follows through, no sense of humor…..
Gee, sounds just like a certain girdle peddler we know!
If Lisa did sell a story to Radar, I don’t believe for a second she did, but what if she did? How exactly does this affect the Hoof? What business it is of hers? Did something bad get published about her that could have only come from Lisa? What is her REAL issue?
just an attempt at character assassination – trying to make Lisa look bad, that’s it. JMO
Is it just me, or…aren’t her shoes fat??? ugh horrible
Actually, my first reaction to hearing Lisa describe A’s shoes as “fat” was, “Dayem — who knew Lisa hung out with Kimora?”
My second thought was, “Uh-oh. Lisa, the term ‘phat’ is dated, not sure anyone uses it anymore…”
And my third thought was, “Well, Adrienne obviously does NOT hang out with Kimora. And Andy looks confused.”
I thought phat as well
Same here. Time to tune out the white noise again!
Lisa’s blog was so sad. I’m glad she is getting a lot of support.
Back to Kyle’s Blog
We saw the Poll results for Favorite HW this season on WWHL live way before the reunion aired. Lisa won in a landslide and Brandi came in second.
Kyle can blame Brandi all she wants that her interview caused all this negativity towards the other ones, but the public was already on Lisa’s and Brandi’s side.
Own it Kyle and apologize in public until you do. The public will not trust you anymore.
Morning ladies! I snuck in another little catnap this morning with my younger daughter.. First time in a while that I can claim 2 naps in 1 week! Hope everyone’s day is going well so far.
As for the blogs, Lisa still makes me sad even after reading it multiple times by now. I’m so glad she’s reading the viewer comments…I wonder if she’s read Kyle’s and Adrienne’s??
Kyles blog…blahblahblah more of the same old shit. I’m so glad she isn’t the ‘fan favorite’, her head might explode.
Kyle is offensive in trying to explain to viewers what friendship is all about.
ITA. I have never had a “friendship” like the “great” ones Kyle supposedly had. Such an overused line…but w/friends like that, who needs enemies?
Lisa knows my personality and knows I’ve been known to do crazier stuff than the splits WITHOUT cameras around, just to make my friends laugh. That is who I am.
KYLE! YOU AREN’T FUNNY! YOU AREN’T GOOFY! YOU HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS AS SUCH! STOP LYING TO YOURSELF!! Mauricio just tells you that shit to get you to shut up and maybe get some booty.
LOL.
Dingdingding!!! Doing the splits in a crowd is always gonna make you look like an attention whore, Kyle. I don’t even WANT to know what she does off-camera…but I’m sure it does, again, make her look like an attention whore. You’re right, she needs to just STOP
who else think it’s weird that shana is creating what is akin to a press conference (online) to announce who is sending her death threats?
She reeks of desperation. Real people who are afraid of death threats make pre announcements. They contact the authorities and take appropriate measures and THEN maybe make a statement.
This woman is the lowest piece of trash. I can understand why people have such strong hostility towards her although, it goes too far when they threaten to harm her. She is just tha tkind of person tha twill turn a normal person into a physically violent person because she makes you want to punch her in the face (speaking figuratively, of course).
She has no shame. And she is a BAD mother.
Exactly!
What normal person would treat a death threat to herself AND HER CHILD as a publicity opportunity?
That’s just what she’s been doing!
I’m surprised the FBI didn’t tell her not to talk about an ongoing investigation!
That’s cause they really aren’t involved.
FBI in this case stands for Female Body Inspector most likely.
LMAO! Someone should send one of those Female Body Inspector shirts to Dr. SoPhony…
how does the song go? Bad, bad, bad bad woman
Glad the person was caught in time for the book release and is conveniently from the same state as her first stop on the book tour. I’m sure this will be a talking point on the view Monday followed by part two of the reunion then her book sky rocketing on the nyt list-I bet the audience of the view will all get copies lol. This may be the one instance I’d support book burning.
Great point Kris, the timing of this is all too perfect. I think Shana sent those threats to herself, well at least hired this kid to send them. If my child was part of a kidnapping death threat, I would fold my hand, close the curtains and say thanks bravo but see ya…got to protect my child.
I think Brandi is right on the money. Although Kyle may have not made the meeting, there was a plan. Just like Lisa’s tea party there was a plan, that is why Taylor was pissed and saying to Paul that they were all supposed to say something but she was out on the ledge alone. I think even Camille was supposed to say something to Lisa but decided not to and taylor backing her into a corner made her come out with the abuse alligations. The White party they set a plan into action to kick Taylor and Russell out. Brandi’s beach party, Kyle and taylor in the limo planned to back each other up. Its a matter of past actions telling us all that Brandi is telling the truth. Like some are saying, just because they all didnt get into a room together dosent meen they didnt text, e-mail or phone convo over the plan.
Remember Kyle telling Lisa at the SUR event she talked to Taylor but not about going to Lisa’s event……Kyle talks alot and always looks like the cat that ate the canary so fearful that someone is going to rat her out.
“Kyle talks alot and always looks like the cat that ate the canary so fearful that someone is going to rat her out.”
This is so spot-on, it needs to be stated again
That’s such a perfect description.
Bravo does not understand that the viewers don’t like when the HWs gang up on one individual! That individual be it a fan fav, a new addition/friend or the villianess gets viewers’ fair play support because of it. IMO, this doesn’t increase rating but gives viewers a reason to change the dial!
Kyle has had two season to secure the sweetheart spot on RHBH and failed.
NeNe lost her center square when she got violent with Kim and then decided who she will and will not film with.
Teresa got a second chance with viewers because her “family” relentlessly went after her.
Jillsy tried to hijack the show with her own agenda and was not invited back because viewer just had too much of her interference with the NY franchise.
Bravo needs to get back to basics and stop setting the housewives up – real drama beats bs drama every time!
The only difference between Kyle and Adrienne in regards to Jill and Kelly at the NY reunion, is that instead of yelling and cursing, Kyle and Adrienne were whiny and smug.
Great points.
Kyle is a bad friend. She couldnt get Adrienne to maybe call lisa before hand and tell her she was upset about the crack=pot joke. Really? That joke was worth a friendship. Talk about petty.
Yea, real nice how Kyle and Mauricio sealed Lisa and Kens house deal before they went after her!!!!!
Hi guys,
I hope this post goes through, cause I just lost my comment. Maybe cause it was just too long.:)…Anyway, in response to Kyles claims that Brandi was lying about the Lisa set up, I would like to say that I knew nothing of Brandis claims when I watched the reunion, but regardless, it was obvious that they were ganging up on Lisa…Ya know I dont know if its that Kyle, Adrienne or Bravo think that they are so superior to we viewers or what, but just like at the Tea Party I/we could tell that they were all there to get on Lisa and Taylor was thinking she was going to be the ring leader, cause in her mind she thought she had the viewers on her side cause of DV claims so she could say anything and the viewers would pity her and Lisa would look like the bad guy. But Taylor went too far in involving Camille and then the tables turned and Kyle and Adrienne (although Adrienne slithered her way out of it never to return)being the cowards they are didnt stick to the plan, Taylor not know what to do and being the spin doctor that she is made up with Lisa, which in turn pissed Kyle off. So yes I do believe that this was their plan for the season with Lisa, but unfort. during the reg. season their plans got foiled everytime. Just like at Brandis Beach Party, there was a “preview scene” that showed Adrienne with Brandi, Camille, DD and I forget who else, where Adrienne is saying “Lisa stirs the pot and then…..”, but this scene never made it to the episode and I truly believe that Adrienne knew that Lisa would not be at the Party so she thought this would be a great time to try and turn the ladies against Lisa. Unfort for Adrienne the tussle with Taylor, Camille and DD wasnt planned so she lost her chance there…Adrienne also probably never dreamed Brandi and Lisa would become friends, but your not telling me she didnt bring Brandi into the mix to try and hurt Lisa or that she didnt have something to do with Cedric winding up at the SUR party…..I cant stand Adrienne and Kyle is just jealous of Lisa cause she knows Lisa will most likely get her own show. Kyle is a fake and a phony. Kyle thinks/wants to be Bethenny and tries to act like her and she just aint cuttin it….Oh and rumor has it that since Demi Moore will be out of commission for awhile, Kyle is trying to go after some of the parts Demi was up for. WHEN WILL SOMEONE TELL KYLE SHE CANT ACT. KYLE SHOULD STICK WITH REALITY TV. LOOK KYLE JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN LIE WELL DOES NOT MAKE YOU A GOOD ACTRESS!!!!
Reply
IMO, Adrienne is the leader of the take Lisa down pack – Taylor has an alliance with Lisa and won’t attack her but will attack Brandi for Kyle. Kyle is pissed that Lisa befriended Taylor so Kyle threw in with Adrienne against a common foe. Camille is a wild card because she isn’t going to get muddied in a fight she really has no dog in. And Brandi is exactly the support Lisa needs because she won’t fight politely!
I am so ready for round two!
Me to Windy, me to!!!!
I missed that preview- WHAT a great catch!!!!!!
She is SO low down!!!!
http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/season-2/videos/not-everything-is-glamorous-in-beverly-hills
Here is the clip from the preview JKyle. Its somewhere around 1:36 on the time scale.
Great info ladies. My thoughts…
I still LOVE LOVE LOVE CamilleGrammer! Her halo hasn’t slipped as she’s never claimed to be an angel! She hasn’t gone against LisaSlanderPump by stating she was told the LisaGasPump sold stories also. She heard it and said it. As for being a little dubious or giving LisaPumpAlot the side eye, could it be her tenacious defense of VileKyle last season, where she refused to have anyone malign WickedKyle as a mean girl at the S1 Reunion although many now believe as I always did that TheVileOne said the old “Why are they filming you if Kelsey’s not there”? As for blocking folks on twitter, maybe Cammie felt a DM was private and wouldn’t be published. She could’ve felt violated that what she believed was a private conversation with one person ended up in a another persons popular blog. Maybe she should’ve said “OFFtheRECORD” Just saying.
As for LisaFistPumps, well folks i’ve NEVER been a fan. AtAll! I recognized her mean girl behaviour hidden behind a mischievous laugh and a British accent. Didn’t work for me. She showed herself when she made fun of Kim with Martin at the finale and I was also unimpressed with her jocular humor with Cedric. Someone always has to be the brunt of the joke for LisaTwoHumps. Last year Kim and Cedric, this year it’s Adrienne. Competition has to be the cause of it. She really did a number calling Adrienne’s shoe the ‘MaloofHoof’. By comparing the shoe to a animal’s foot she knew her sexier sounding VanderPump would become more appealing. Adrienne did have the right to be angered by the nickname for a product that is in production and is now the liveliehood of her designers, manufacturers and workers. People are saying Adrienne brought attention to the tag while I feel it was already out there. LisaRumpHump is very calculating and even in her apology went on to call the it a little fat shoe. She’s a sly bad mean girl. But if you girls like it I love it!
As for Brandi, I can’t wait for her to have a go at VileKyle and TraylorTrash. They’ve got it coming. Hopefully Brandi will be careful and heed the warnings of the other ladies re: LisaLiverspots. Yes folks as late as January, the FreckledTitBrit was heard speaking ill of Brandi with… wait for it… KyleWretcheds. WAY after Hawaii folks.
Here’s the link but you’ve got to go deep. Your welcome. LOL

Lastly I hope no one is angry at the nicknames i’ve given to LisaTwoStumps. Every HW has her nicknames. Why not her.
I like Queen Lisa, better. lol
I’m w/emt2, lol.
I do like Lisa, but some of those nicknames made me snicker… ‘FreckedTitBrit’ was pretty clever.
Ugh, I meant Freckled
Thanks. I try.
I like Lisa Queen Vandertrump!
LOL NEVAH!!! LMAO She’d be a Queen without a Nation but has a GasPump in her station!
And Lisa would laugh at every single one of them because she gets a play on a word humor!
Just thinking the same thing, Windy..Lisa would giggle if she heard someone call her the freckled tit brit. Adrienne on the other hand, feeaks out over her shoe being called the Maloof Hoof. So ridiculous!
It would be a pleasure to share my AmbericanSnark with the BritishOldTart!
I’m sure we’d laugh together at VillaBlanca over some KToddSpottedDick!
I prefer Vanderfabulous!
I Love Them and I Love Lisa and I’ll bet she would like them too.
Thanks BB. Love your writing and humor too. Keep up the great work recapping our favorite shows as we depend on you too.
Amber
IMO, Camille has been demure this season because she is going through a divorce, and anything she says could be used against her.
I’m so sick of this maloof hoof argument. For god sakes, it’s a play on words regarding a ridiculously over priced and unsuccessful shoe line. I don’t even hear the negative connotation in the word hoof…it sorta ryhmes and hoofs are shoes on an animal?? What is the big damn deal. If A was truly a business woman she would have thicker skin than that.
I just want to say what Kyle said is kind of crap. The whole “now that we read Brandi’s interview about the attack on Lisa, that’s all we’re gonna see now”
My sister, who is a stay at home mom, who doesn’t read any blogs, told me last night that she was watching the reunion finally (she also doesn’t have a DVR, I know lol shocking, I tell you) that she couldn’t believe how everyone was attacking Lisa. I said oh really? So I preceded to tell her about this article and all the stuff going on. And she told me “I don’t really care about all that, but I do like Lisa and I saw what they were doing to her – even Scotch (her hubby – you know he no nothing about RHOBH) said that they were attacking the British lady (lol).
So it’s not force viewer perception because of the interview that Brandi gave – it’s the truth and what obviously happened on camera.
ITA. The fact that it was a preplanned attack on Lisa was obvious…Brandi let us know about it before the reunion actually started, but we would have seen it for ourselves regardless
ITA – those I know who don’t know what we know saw exactly what we saw – an attack on Lisa! Kyle isn’t smart enough to realize that the show she plays in her head isn’t the same one Bravo airs.
Same here gemstone, I watched it and knew nothing of Brandis claims and I thought the same thing and I was only 15 min into the show. So you are absolutely right, regardless of kyle trying to say they did nothing of the sort, it is very evident that they did!!!!
Here’s a wild thought I just had…….maybe the plan was to set Brandi up and show the viewers she was really a mean person. Maybe the KAT team planned on setting up a meeting with Brandi with the purpose of getting her to go after Lisa with them and then when it happened at the reunion they would sort of back down and leave Brandi holding the bag for attacking Lisa and everyone would hate her. When Brandi didn’t agree to go to the meeting the other 3 didn’t have it but each still wanted to go after her themselves so each of them did. Brandi would not be lieing about being invited to this meeting and did not know it didn’t take place and Kyle is not lieing about not having a meeting since it never ended up taking place. It does not mean that the KAT group did not give up going after Lisa (we saw it) they just did not have a formal meeting to plan it. I still believe it was a gang attack which was planned before the tea party and was just put on hold for a little while. They planned on confronting her when they had the chance and it just happened to be at the reunion.
It will be interesting to see if they bring out the husbands and hear what Mauricio and Paul have to say about their lovely wives’ obnoxious behavior.
I’m looking forward to this too. Does anyone know if Pam/Dana will be on the reunion at all?
She’s there in the second half I think?
I still want to know how Kyle landed Mauricio. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.
Yah…I’m hoping Kyle didn’t used to act like this, but I kind of doubt it (omg, my writing skillz are terrible today lol). Mauricio does seem like a good guy, I hope he’s keeping those daughters of theirs from turning into Mini-Kyles
Don’t you think it might have to do with the fact that she is a full-employment and BH-connections ticket? It’s her family (the Hiltons) that owns the real estate firm he’s with. She has said he was young and had no money when they met. This may be overly cynical, but Kyle did offer a pretty good meal ticket. And it would be good for her, because it would keep him on a tight leash – without her, his employment prospects might be impacted.
I didn’t know anything about Mauricio’s background–this is very possible. I’ve seen marriages built on less.
I hope if the husbands do come out, they’ve been in the back for 6 hours without a monitor or way of hearing like Brandi. It’s the only way to get a real reaction from them.
That would be nice, but I don’t think that’s very likely.
Certainly plausible and most definately renews my faith in humaity a bit!
Too bad she’s impacing his career by just being herself on a reality show.
hehe, me too E, me too.
Something weird…is Kyle’s last name legally Richards? She never took Mauricio’s name?
Kyle Richards is an actress, first and foremost. Her name is her brand and she is not about to give that up for anybody! IMO. I also think Maurico married for position and power as much as any love thang!
I think what ever happened backfired OBVIOUSLY but I NEVER looked at this problem from that view point…. Maybe your the new agatha christie? Mrs Plot twist!
Adrienne’s blog is up. So sad, she still won’t apologize outright and apologize to Lisa for her ridiculous claim. This woman has an ego bigger than anything that we have seen. Some humble pie is needed for any of us to have respect for her again! Just apologize Adrienne as opposed to saying that her approach was too direct…you outright lied!!
So much of the public backlash against Adrienne could have been avoided if she would just apologize sincerely ONE TIME. Off to read her blog now, even though I have a feeling I already know what it says.
Oddly enough, Adrienne speaks to saying things directly….and yet she has no direct apology for what she did!
Windy, I guess that means she is really not sorry. I would rather her say nothing then to appease the masses and not being sincere. The reunion episode 1 was pretty boring compared to NY, OC and NJ, last season. It seems to me, the fan’s are blowing things out of proportion. Everyone has such love and respect for Lisa that we are not going to get the real reason for why the cast do not care for her so much.
“Just as importantly, I am fortunate to have fans who inspire me on a daily basis. Thank you for all of the kindness and support you have given me throughout this entire Housewives experience.”
Uhh…if this was true, wouldn’t she have maybe LISTENED to viewers (I hate when they call them fans, bc even when I liked her I didn’t consider myself her fan) at some point?
Logic! Doesn’t apply!
The way Adriennes blog is worded you can just tell she did not write it. Adrienne is the most unarticulate “Business Woman” I ever came across!
“NO, NO, NO, NO, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I THINK”….you are absolutely right – this was written by someone good at spin control.
Why do all these people spend money on publicists when all they need to do is apologize and acknowledge their wrong doing? That’s the best “spin control”!
Bad spin control in my opinion. she just needs to say sorry.
I’m w/Betsy and JKyle, this is not good spin control…she should have offered an apology instead of more excuses and justifications. I HOPE she didn’t pay someone to write that.
Guess Kyle also forgot the “tea party” attack. Taylor repeatedly said, to their faces, the other women complained about Lisa behind her back. Not one of them denied it, though nobody jumped in to support Taylor, either. Kyle’s face said it all, when Taylor told Lisa they all think her ego is out of control. Kyle knew she was caught and tried to downplay what she’d said then, as well.
You’re right: Kyle never owns her actions. She lies and twists until she justifies what she said/did–to herself, at any rate. We’ve seen Kyle snicker and then make excuses when her sister or Taylor gossip/attack other cast members, too. Remember “Camille can shovel shit”? Does Brandi at the game party ring a bell? How many times has Kyle made a sneering remark about the others, on camera and in interviews?
Own it for once, Mean Girl Kyle.
One other thing I forgot. Remember at Taylors Award ceremony, when Kyle told the ladies that she didnt know Lisa was not invited?…How is it that Adrienne, Dana and the rest of the ladies knew?
Wow Lynn, in Kyles mind, the whole counrty, Nay, The World, reads YOUR Blog. Maybe she meant just the cool kids. LOL Don’t anyone give me any shit, Both Mannings are here and I’m busy prepping my ass off. Peace and love and Go Mannings!
http://www.bravotv.com/blogs/the-dish/kyle-richards-i-want-another-baby
Anyone see this?
Well then she will have a reason to be on a couple more seasons! Job insurance and dreams of a spin off – lol!
Good I’m not the only one who thought that! I thought maybe I was just being cynical…I think her ultimate goal is to be the next Kardashian family (It physically hurts me to type this LOL).
Kids aren’t handbags. Why must people collect them?!
Not too sure…all I know is when you are idolizing KRIS JENNER, there is a BIG problem!!
Coming soon: One Night With Farrah.
OMG! hahahaha
LOL!!!
I actually think Kyle loves being a mother and a baby loves you no matter what!
Hello and good morning! Well, I’ve jumped the gun and already posted a few comments before reintroducing myself to the group. I’m sorry to have been away these past few weeks but real life had consumed me. You and your discussions and humor were missed, and I’ve scanned the last few days of comments while trying to catch up with Lynn’s blog posts.
Mammaz, so glad you’re back! That was weird. Whoever was posing as Lynn is a coward. >:(
As I read, there are so many thoughts that go through my head about the reunion and the ladies.
Going to go sort them out, BRB.
Glad you’re back!
Adrienne’s Blog is up.
A softer approach? She is too direct? WTF? Like Kyle this “behind the scenes” things that happened. We viewers don’t know about… Yes! Adrienne I’m convinced now. What a load full of you know what.
OWN IT ADRIENNE! Apologize in public to Lusa and until you do, you have zero credibility.
There was no mistake that you are only popular with the viewers. You are FAKE FAKE FAKE or you Very are insecure..
IMO, if something happened behind the scenes then it should be resolved behind the scenes.
Winston, That is just BS that Kyle and Adrienne are saying. They both lost a lot of credibility…IMO.
Yeah, you’re probably right but I am sure there are a lot of dynamics that happen behind the scenes.
A & K keep saying that, but they don’t say what it was. I’m suspecting it’s something petty that’s why they don’t want to say what it was.
I think it takes Adrienne a week to get her point acrossed. Let me tell you why………….blah,blahhhhhhhhhh.
lol
Thank you for giving me a laugh – consequently causing me to choke on a pretzel. We now know that my husband is really good at the Heimlich maneuver. Blahhhhh!
Firstly, my heart broke for Lisa while witnessing the vicious gang-up against her. And my blood boiled at the attacks from some and silence from others. Indeed, it spoke volumes, as Lisa commented in her Bravo blog.
I used to like Adrienne. Now? I have absolutely zero respect for her and I can’t stand her. Especially after how it’s been revealed that she believes everything Bernie tells her. Bernie is a man filled with hatred, and apparently Adrienne has allowed herself to be poisoned by him and Cedric. It all makes sense now, that scene at the opening of Sur, when Cedric made his entrance and Adrienne greeted him so warmly. I did a double take at that gesture that night, but now it all makes sense.
At least Kyle had the decency to look shocked and awkward when she saw Cedric. Maloof? Nope. She looked downright tickled that he was there. At first I wondered if maybe Adrienne thought that Lisa and Cedric had patched things up since he was there, but now — understanding the Bernie connection — I don’t believe that was the case. I may be wrong, but it seems more likely that Adrienne knew things were still very bad between them.
The interesting thing about the way A, Kyle, and Taylor go after Lisa — and their big mistake — is that they do so seeming to assume that she will respond the way THEY would. Project much, ladies? They don’t understand Lisa, they don’t get her the way the majority of the viewers do, because they don’t see her as she is. They only see themselves reflected in her, but of course it’s such an inaccurate reflection that it unsettles them. They’re so uncomfortable dealing with a person who has a true sense of herself and is too emotionally mature and grounded to play their silly games. And that really pisses them off. They react to her humour as THEY would intend it if it were coming out if their mouths instead, instead of putting Lisa’s words in the context of who she is as a person.
High five on this whole post.
Fabulous post!

Hey guys,
I just read this article from Kyle in regards to Lisa at the reunion. Its funny she says that honest is sooo important in a friendship yet she never told Lisa that she knew Russell sent the e-mails or that Mauricio and Kyle heard first hand at Taylor dinner that Russell and Taylor were planning to sue her to….Hmmm, Kyle seems to have selective recall!!!!!
Selective honesty is still lying by omission. Kyle should have told Lisa about the dinner conversation at the Armstrong’s house.
Kyle has been in bed with Taylor all season. She can’t resist enabling someone she perceives as weak. They’ve been on camera now many times setting others up. Too bad for Kyle, because Taylor is no weakling; she’s a very clever con. Since Lisa was on to Taylor last season, it’s adding up now. I’m even wondering about that “accidentally ran into Cedric” comment Taylor made way back at the beginning of this season.
Agreed, I’m also still curious about what Taylor was soo mad at Adrienne about at Brandis party. Ya know when Adrienne was trying to calm Taylor down and Taylor pointed at Adrienne and said “AND YOU…”, but then Adrienne covered Taylors mouth and wouldnt let her finish….Just would love to know what she was going to say!
Oh I know, I doubt we’ll ever find out
Interesting FOX News, Geraldo Rivera interview w/Kyle and Faye:
http://video.foxnews.com/v/1423816282001
Adrienne’s blog is up.
While I appreciate what she said…I still feel it’s an excuse and draping her co-stars with compliments doesn’t make up for the fact that she totally slandered Lisa in front of millions. Not right!
So is Kyle’s. Let the blocking games begin.
Yes. Here we go….:)
So my bro is moving into his first apt tomorrow and we got him some jz bedding lol…the clearance section was full of it (just like her) mostly for $99 w an addt’l 50% off. Instantly giggles and thought of you ladies when I saw it on the shelf…not going to lie if it’s marked down 75% the next time I’m in there I may get one they had a really nice one but even $49 was too much for me.
I’m surprised that stuff is still around. Even at deep discount prices, they can’t get rid of it. Lol.
JZ makes bedding?
LOL! Jill Zarin, not Jay-Z.
LOL.. I know who we are talking about, I was just surprised that I’d never heard of her bedding line.
For reelz? At Bed Bath and Beyond.
Oh god, I’m supposed to go there with my mom this weekend. So funny that Jill has had so many unsuccessful projects…poor dear just doesn’t know when to give up, does she?
Kyle “laments her people-pleaser side” WHAT THE F-ING F?
I think she means that her people pleasing side prevents her from having a backbone when she needs it. It’s counterproductive and she knows it, but can’t seem to push herself beyond her fear.
This makes me feel sorry for her in a way. From some comments she and Kim have made about their mother, they didn’t exactly have the best example in her to teach them how to behave as mature, self-confident adults as they grew up. It’s sad, really. I think Kyle wants to be a good person but she keeps tripping herself up, she doesn’t always know how. On the plus side she can admit some faults, but on the minus side she doesn’t go far enough in introspection. It’s OK to be imperfect, Kyle, we all are. The sooner she can accept that and fully admit her mistakes without using the word “but” or trying to save herself with a spin, the sooner she truly will save herself, unload a lot of stress, and reach full-on adulthood. She keeps trying to go around that painful life lesson but the only way past it is to go through it.
Just my 2¢, of course.
Spot on!
Thanks!
Wondering if Dana will get to sit on an actual couch with the big girls or if she will be confined to a high chair on the end.
With her million dollar lollipop?
And her FU shoes that made it on to the BravoAndy home video but won’t make it on to the big girls show!
That is waaaaay too funny! lol.
Dana is on a chair. Couch only sits three people. Saw a picture at Bravo site.
LOL, awesome.
She should be dusting in the background.
lol
I’m so glad I’m not the only one doubting Kyle and Camille. I was shocked at how they went after Lisa. It reminded me of wild dogs taking down an injured animal. Lisa is much too classy to bring out the claws and go after them. She knows the value of silently letting the others dig their own hole to fall into. Kudo’s to Lisa for holding her head high and not giving into their nastiness.
I’ve walked away from the Bravotv site. I tried twice to post a comment on a blog and it was not posted. I refuse to go read the blogs or look at the site. I’m sure they don’t care, but one less click is one less $ for them. I’ll let Lynn go grab the blogs and post them on this site for us all to view and comment on without being censored.
Lynn you ROCK!!!
OC ugh I started watching from the first season and keep going back because it is like watching a train wreck.
I miss Lauri, Jeana, Tammy and Quinn.
I renewed my wedding vows with my husband after seeing Vicki and Donn do it. At least we are still married and my hubby surprised me with a gorgeous new ring. I liked Donn, but always sensed Vicki put herself above everyone else. She trashed her friendship with Jeana. Jeana sure didn’t see that coming, although she has brought some stuff on herself.
Tamara.. don’t get me started. The woman makes me sick. She gave up so much for $$ with Simon. Money surely can’t buy that woman class.
And NYC did such sh*t to Alex that I don’t even know if I’ll bother to watch next season. I can’t stand LuLu. Ramona is funny and Sonja is goofy. They made me laugh when they were running around and trying on those caftans or whatever they were called. Bethenny was the best person to come out of that show.
I miss the DC Housewives. Miami? I could careless if they come back, not too memorable. I only remember Marisol and her Mother.
Ok That’s my 2 cents.
Thanks for the sharing of my blog. Losing weight is a struggle, but one that I will complete.
Welcome Diana. Plan to check out your blog soon.
Nice post and your blog is cool! Don’t be a stranger!
Welcome to the family!
Lady Chatterly…….I see you’re back and I wanted you know that I absolutely loved your cabbage saute. It was superb. Happy to see you back here.
I’m off now to Seattle until Tuesday so I’ll see you all then. On Monday I’ll be able to actually watch the reunion at the same time as the rest of you. Last night in Vancouver the Lanai episode aired. The Shyster and Dr. Sophony are revolting.
Tata for now.
Have a great wknd. everyone.
Have a good time PG
Jealous….I grew up in Seattle, I miss it there. Have a great time! I will miss reading your comments for the days you are gone, you crack me up.
Ooh you just reminded me I have half a head of cabbage in the fridge so I will make that tonight with maybe some bacon. Yum!
Oh PG, I will be in Seattle too for business! I’ve never been there and it looks like we may even miss the rain and get to see some sun! Safe travels!
Have a great time PG! Enjoy the reunion.
PG,
Have a great time!
Welcome Diana. I have checked your blog out yet, but plan to.
Jezuz. Still trying to post this. :-\
Personally, I think the Bravo producer on this show is behind a lot of this carping at each other. They set Lisa up with Cedric and Bernie at SUR–mic, invitation, and two bouncers at the rope disappearing weren’t an accident. Cedric was the open source for the story that the Bravo producer invited him to the SUR party, baiting him with a hint that Cedric might get a show with Lisa. Ha! Can you imagine? How much more bitter was Cedric when Lisa told him face to face, on camera, he’d burnt that bridge long ago?
So how did this all end up with Adrienne hating Lisa so? Brandi said Adrienne invited her, and someone working for Ad–her asst.?–then told Brandi that it was to plan the attack on Lisa. I wonder if that person was part of Adrienne’s “Get Lisa” staff. Bernie the Cook wrote on his Facebook that he had sources who heard Lisa disparaging his food themselves: “Lisa said this/that,” Bernie wrote, calling her a racist, no less, I guess because the food at that event was Mexican? My money is on the servers being these sources, because we saw them tell Bernie about Giggy at the table. Bernie specifically said other household staff heard Lisa say things, so obviously Lisa was being targeted for this gossip campaign. (Makes me glad I don’t have staff lying in wait at my house.)
We know how this might have gone: maybe they heard snippets of Lisa’s conversations and misconstrued them regarding the food. Out of context, repeated and embellished, things get twisted and grudges are born. If you have an ax to grind already, it’s not hard to think the worst.
Which brings me back to where all this hate for Lisa is coming from: I think Cedric has been a busy little devil and Bernie has been his creature–they’re both gay, were across the street from each other and part of the same social circle in one way or another for over a year, and may have socialized in the gay community, as well. Both obviously thought they were going to be stars out of this franchise, and when that didn’t happen, Lisa was a good target to get more attention because of the bad blood with Cedric. They also knew how to play Adrienne, who it turns out is not the smart woman we once thought. What an ego on her.
Well, it’s a theory.
Hope Bernie spits in the Hoof’s soup!
When Cedric came to Lisa’s opening Kyle looked like her dead momma had walked into the room, Adrienne looked like her old co-worker or something walked in. I thought to myself “Dang, Adrienne seemed really chill” and didn’t think anything else about it. I guess if Cedric and Bernie are friends, shoot Adrienne probably has him over for cocktails…I’m just kidding, I don’t know, but she definitely was comfortable with him and it’s no telling how all of them are twisted in together.
Adrienne’s shoes are just . . . . . bizarre! A wreckless design. The toe-box extends so far beyond the platform one could lean too far forward and actually end up in a heap.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/03/real-housewives-of-late-night-visit-indianapolis_n_1252289.html?ref=comedy
Lynn should interview Denise Fallon!
And Michelle could review the style of the Ladies of Late Night.
I’m not even going to waste my time reading Kyle or Adrienne’s blogs. I’m done with them. They are on my ignore list along with pamdana and all of the oc and kim from atlanta.
I will no longer follow anything Kyle, Adrienne or Taylor do or discuss them.
I’ll just focus on who I like.
Everyone should read Lisa’s book. It’s great. I’ve made a few recipes so far and they went over really well! I hope she does another book.
I know this is horrible to say, but I had to share this with you guys. I watch the RHOBH with 3 other women, its our night to just eat drink for a couple hrs., anyway, my girlfriend was sooo pissed at Kyle, that after a few cocktails she took her copy of Kyles book and proceeded to stick her lit cigarette inside the book, she then closed it and reopened it, at which time she wasted her full glass of beer on it. We all looked at her like she was crazy and then after approx. 30 sec. when she relized what she had done we all started laughing hysterically….I just had to share how passionate she had gotten at the way they treated Lisa and also how Andy let them!
That’s so funny!!
Isn’t it a beautiful book? Love it. Now you got me thinking about those potatoes again…
Good to know. I was thinking I would be interested in her book.
I read through parts of Kyle’s book on Amaz0n, the parts you can read for free. Would you believe on the inside cover of the book she actually describes herself as being “practically royalty in the 90210 zip code.” Page 2 of the preview.
If she’ll describe herself this way in her book, you have to think she describes herself this way in her life. SO obnoxious. I could never spend time with someone who was such a bragger.
OK, while Kyle calls herself Beverly Hills “royalty” for being born and raised there, veteran Hollywood reporter Barbara Sternig called them a “plain family” after meeting with Little Kathy when she got engaged to Nick Hilton in 1978.
http://stoopidhousewives.com/2011/02/13/rhobh-it-all-started-with-big-kathy/
Sorry, but it takes some HUGE freaking balls to call yourself royalty. And Big Kathy sounds like nothing more than a classic, scheming, marry-rich-and-squirt-out-babies mom. And guess what, every one of her 3 girls, Kathy Hilton, Kyle Richards and Kim Richards took her advice did just that – each of them with 4 kids. The first? Paris Hilton, who Little Kathy gave birth to at the age of 20, and just 15 months after marrying into the Hilton clan. Folks, this was 1981, not 1951. Highly unusual for the time.
I’m making her Shepherd’s Pie tomorrow! It sounds yummy!
The book is absolutely gorgeous!
I know, I handle it with kid gloves!
I posted on Kyle’s Bravo blog and it went straight to moderation. And I’m sure I’m not the first one to post there yet there are zero comments so far. Strange.
test
I find it suspect they waited until Friday to post their blogs. All the unpaid interns have probably left for the weekend and there is nobody to moderate the comments. I commented also (not as myself). I don’t expect them to be posted.
Maybe the weekend monkeys will let the mischief fly….like they did that time on RHNY, but Bravo being Bravo – probably only the nice comments will be posted.
I just read Adrienne’s and Kyles blogs, If I knew how to post a rolling eyes I would.
I have a bike and it can only go forward, if I try to back-peddle I stay in one place, provided I don’t fall off it. >:(
OK, I just read Kyle’s and Adrienne’s Bravo blogs (Kyle’s is a repeat of what Lynn said she posted on her own website). For now, a couple thoughts:
Kyle: she said she doesn’t know how to be loyal to two friends at the same time while they’re arguing. Yes, that can be tricky, and I think there are times when it’s best to but out. But there are also times when stepping in is appropriate, as in the case of Adrienne going after Lisa with a slanderous accusation based on hearsay. Kyle could have defended Lisa while politely suggesting to Adrienne that it’s not a good idea to believe gossip. Any one of them could be the victim of gossip, after all.
Secondly, this business about old wounds being reopened. Why can’t the women respond to those kinds of provocative questions by saying something to Andy along the lines of, “You know what? Water under the bridge. We’ve worked that out a long time ago so let’s just move on.”
I mean, let’s face it. There are surely many other topics to cover about the past season that either remain open or don’t require pouring salt on old wounds. Don’t you think?
About split loyalties, I just wish Kyle had thought to take the approach of coming to her friend Lisa’s defense while saying something to her friend Adrienne to stop her from continuing to make an ass of herself. In other words, the verbal equivalent of Adrienne putting her hand over a drunken Taylor’s mouth so she wouldn’t say something she’d later regret (although I think A was too late on that, but that’s another topic…).
When Adrienne covered Taylor’s mouth at Brandi’s party it was because Taylor was getting ready to go after Adrienne!
WCW,
What do you think Taylor was going to say?
Probably about not backing Taylor’s attack of Lisa at the tea party.
I think you’re right. I was quite shocked that Adrienne put her hands over Taylor’s mouth to shut her up. I thought at the time, Who puts their hands over someone’s mouth? That’s very abusive.
But Taylor was about to spill something on Adrienne, and in her interview about that action, Adrienne said (approx.), “I just didn’t want her to say something she’d later regret.” Ha! I think Adrienne meant that ADRIENNE would regret.
Maybe Taylor was about to bring up Adrienne’s behind the scenes machinations in going after Lisa. Adrienne looked very uncomfortable when Taylor was “outing” them at the tea party.
Like I’ve already posted, I think this has been a season long issue Adrienne’s staff has been in on–and if your thought is true, Adrienne has known about it. She pays these people, so if she knew, then she was the leader, at least by consent.
Ya know Chica your right. Wouldnt it have been great when Andy asked the ladies if they believed Taylor that one of them (especially Adrienne) would have said “Im not sure, she lied a lot last season so…”. But we all know Taylor is going to be treated with Kid Gloves!!!
I think that the only way Taylor agreed to appear on the Reunion was under certain terms and that is no one could call her out or attack her. Did you see the look she gave Andy when Camille started to lay into her? I read that as “she’s not sticking to the terms I agreed to.”
I dont think any of them truely believe Taylor. They faux support her to save face. When the real truth comes out they will admit to having doubts. How easy to say we support you and how strong you are and not have to deal with her daily. They probably dont see each other after filming anyways.
Greetings everyone, long time no “see”.
I have been MIA for a while but I wanted to jump in to see what was going on and say “hi”.
I have not watched a single episode of BH this season as I felt it should have been shown due to Russell’s suicide and Taylor’s complete web of lies; but I did watch the reunion. To say I was appalled is an understatement. My initial thought was “Wow those women really hate Lisa”, but I knew that wasn’t how things were this past season just from reading here. Then it was obvious that they were simply ganging up on her to make her the villain, and NO I didn’t see that Brandi has said that previously.
If I had acted like Adrienne I would be mortified! Just by listening to her and seeing how she was sitting it was clear that she had a stick shoved so far up her ass the whole time. Sorry for the saying but it was true! Her claims are so ridiculous they are not even worth going into details.
As for Kyle she says “ The Reunion….where to begin?? This is a day we all DREAD”…Why would they dread it? Because their actions are embarrassing! Own it! I know if I had a video diary of my behavior and interactions with my friends over the past year I would cherish it. I am sure most of you would as well. Why” Because we are not mean vile human beings like we saw at the reunion.
I have a little personal mission statement that I try to live by (I saw in on a commercial many years ago and it stuck with me). “Will my actions today make myself, my family and my friends proud tomorrow?” It is pretty simple and Kyle, Taylor, and Adrienne really need to take a good look at themselves.
Hello Buffywood!
Thinking Adrienne was the most surprising character on the reunion couches. I have to think she peed in her my little pony outfit when Lisa said those three magic words…”slander”, “character assassination” – cause those are lawsuit territory! She now needs to kiss Lisa’s bountiful booty big time because there is no room on the show for those who can’t get along with the Bravo star!
Hiya Buffywood! Glad you stopped by.
Yes, I loved when Lisa uttered the word “slander”. Also enjoyed when Andy asked if they both could move past this moment, and Lisa said she would have to think about it, although she later said she thought she could. I bet that has not happened since then and she is keeping her distance from Maloof.
Naw, she’s too busy hanging out with Brandi.
“peed in her little pony outfit….” LOL.
What on earth was she wearing at the reunion? It was so distracting and looked like Bernie used a couple of his flags from his color guard high school days and sewed them together with his Singer.
Hey Buffy! On the topic that this season should not have been aired after Russell’s suicide, I was completely disgusted when Andy asked Camille if the reason she didn’t want the season to air was because she outed the abuse? You mean she didn’t want the entire season shown because she was the only one who told the truth? Like all of a sudden all the abuse allegations and suicide are Camille’s fault for telling the truth? Sick.
Yeah, that was so wrong.
Hi BW– i’ve missed you
I posted you a car–like 2 weeks ago?
Aw, I missed it! Thanks for thinking of me. When I have a couple of hours I will look through. With Lynn’s success I can’t believe how busy things are here. So exciting for Lynn!
Thanks Lynn for RHOBH reunion recap. I hated every moment of it. Adrienne looked utterly stupid with her half-azzed excuses. But to sit and accuse someone of what they said they heard from some obviously biased person against Lisa while Lisa is looking them in the eye and saying no I do not do that really got my craw. I bet Bernie the insult chef is the one spreading lies about Lisa.
I have a theory about Lisa selling a story allegations and Adrienne and Camille hearing about it. I don’t think it was Bernie or any insider who gave this info to Adrienne. I believe there are so-called news stringers out there who work free lance to get stories and sell them to the gossip sites. This may have been what happened in this case. Some free lance “reporter” probably told Camille and Adrienne that Lisa was paid by Radaronline for story in order to get a story from them also. It is probably someone they all know who regularly hangs around all the Beverly Hills events trying to get a story to sell. I’m sure it happens all the time. The fact that Adrienne and Camille bought into it is what is so outrageous to me. Just a thought.
I want to know what the actual story was!
That’s what I have thought all along. For some reason, I thought that was even said on the show. Or maybe it was said here. I can’t remember. But I agree with you.
This is what has me confused…I thought Adrienne bought into it but it seemed to me that Camille did not. I thought when Camille told her story of someone approaching her and saying that Lisa sold stories, Camille brushed it aside knowing it wasn’t untrue. I still can’t figure out what I missed that puts Camille in the same boat as Adrienne. Not to mention that when Camille said that, it was then that the look on Adrienne’s frozen face seemed to say, “oh shit, i really stepped in it, didn’t i?” What did I miss?
OT. What is the purpose of famous people declaring they were drunk on set; i.e., Pat Sayjak, Vanna White, Daniel Radcliffe? Is it to let us know you can be drunk and still do your job and be successful? What a public service. Thanks guys.
BB,
We should use that in the operating room. That will get them talking.
Did you hear that Josh Hamilton relapsed? He was caught drinking at a bar.
Yes, I saw your post this morning. I guess it takes some people a few times to finally get it right. I hope he gets it right eventually.
Due to the fact he was doing it in public says a lot.
It was a BIG cry for help. His contract is coming up so he better “get it” fast.
Sadly he won’t be the first to throw his big time career away because of alcohol or drugs.
You should read the book
“Five O’clock Comes Early” It’s about the LA Dodger pitcher Bob Welsh way back in the 80′s. It’s really good. Tommy Lasorda actually met him in rehab for “family day.”
His drug of choice was alcohol. He would get all boozed up before and during the games. I don’t think I could skate while drunk so he’s a lot more talented than I.
Someone has been busy “selling” stories to RadarOnline……(And it ain’t Lisa IMO)
“RHOBH’s Lisa Vanderpupmp’s Spin-off Show Not Picked Up By Bravo”
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/02/lisa-vanderpump-spin-show-bravo-not-picked
“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump isn’t getting her own spin-off show, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
The British beauty shot a pilot based on the restaurants she owns, but the network that airs her current reality show, Bravo, decided to pass on the all-Vanderpump extravaganza.
PHOTOS: Reality TV’s Hottest Stars
“Lisa was hoping to follow in the footsteps of New York housewife Bethenny Frankel who had her own successful spin-offs focusing on her wedding and new baby but the network decided not to pick up her show,” a source close to the Real Housewives show franchise told RadarOnline.com. “
Guess I will wait for Bravo to confirm whether or not they picked up Lisa’s show – “a source close to the RealHousewives franchise” could be Bernie….Cedric…..Adrienne. Yawning now!
This might be a good thing:
Sylvester Stallone’s wife Jennifer Flavin has been approached as a potential new Housewife,
Hopefully she will be replacing LargeLips and or HookerHoof.
I don’t think HookerHoof is going anywhere, sadly. I HOPE Lips MaGee goes.
Yeah, sadly I think the Hoof will be around for at least another season. I hope they cut Lips, but idk…I have the feeling she is holding something over bravo’s head.
I saw this news too on twitter from NaughtyButNotSoReliableRob. He’s known for being wrong more times than not.
I’m watching Annie Oakley, American Experience. Fascinating.
Is Adrienne actually telling David Perel, Executive Vice Pres., Radar Online, that she doesn’t believe him?

Taylor Armstrong and Gretchen Rossi will be on WWHL on Tuesday after the RHOC. I am sure Taylor will be pimping her book. I am curious to see what happens when her book releases. One can only hope the public will put Taylor in her place.
Taylor will also be on The View Monday. I’m sure we’ll be pretty sick of Taylor Armstrong by the time her Book Tour is over. Ugh.
I’m already sick of her, no book tour needed.
My God woman stay home with your child. She lost her father 6 months ago and her mom has been on the road ever since or out clubbing. She goes out more in one month than I do all year. One day Kennedy will ask “where were you after daddy died , on watch what happens or the view”. Who is answering all her little questions? Taylor get your priorities straight.

Radom News from Twitter and FB.
On Twitter.
Dr Paul Nassif used to add Brandi’s twitter to his tweets and retweets. Not anymore.
Dr Estella Sneider ( Mauricio’s mom ) Tweeted Taylor asking her: “When is ur book signing in LA, I want 2 b there 4 YOU! YAY”
BTW…Dr Estella and MM tweet each other a lot
On FB
Disgraced cook bernie is only posting recipees and keeping quiet. He recently posted:
“ok, so my latest food obsession may sound a bit silly or BEVERLY HILLS.
I have been playing around looking for the best “DEVILED EGG” recipe.
Yet, im trying to keep “tradition”…
I recently went to a party & they put cranberries in the middle-
looked good,kinda yucky.”
Who is “MM”?
Interesting, I’m sure that Adrienne didn’t like Dr. Paul having any kind of twitter connection w/Brandi.
Patti Stanker (Millionaire Matchmaker)
Ohhhh LOL! Hate her.

Ok,,, I was puzzled by the word fat, then someone said it was phat. This great-grannie hadn’t heard of the word before.
The word phat is an acronym for a slang phrase. Phat stands for pretty hot and tempting. It is often used to describe a woman’s rear end if someone finds it appealing
Honestly, I thought she just meant fat….the platforms are thick and chunky, I can see what she means.

Fan site, sorry this was stuck in moderation for some reason.
Afternoon everyone. Just dropping by for a few minutes here. Hope you’re all having a great day.
After reading Lisa’s blog the other day, I took something from it and I don’t even know if it was what she intended. These are not TV characters on some scripted made for TV drama or sitcom. These are real people whose real lives we are given 5-10 minute per week snippets of each. If we were to assume that each show in fact was a single week of filming (we all know it isn’t), that’s less than 0.002 percent of these people’s lives we actually See.
These women on Andy’s left have been stripped naked, marched to the public square, a gallon of blood let from each, tarred and feathered and then marched back through the same gauntlet again when they’ve dared to say anything further. Naturally we all know everything that has happened, is happening, or Will happen with these people. Further, we can read their minds and know exactly what they were thinking. We have their homes bugged so we can hear everything that has been said and done SINCE filming wrapped, more than 5 months prior to the reunion. Based on less than 0.002% of their actual lives that we See, we know everything about them.
For what? Because they dared be rude and ‘disloyal’ to someone we don’t even know. I understand that’s the nature of the beast, they all signed up for it, some of them are going to be hated, disliked, liked, or loved.. However, it’s become a little too beastly for me. I know this isn’t the party line here but I don’t believe Kyle and Adrienne are evil. Lips McGee on the other hand, pure evil. They all have some devil in them as do all of us.
This is me, yes it is. Look at the green thingy next to my screen name. This is not a swansong nor a goodbye. I’m not trying to nor would I expect to change anybody’s mind. Just my way of saying, I’m done barbequing these women. Even as a faceless block of text, it doesn’t make me feel good about myself, or the situation at hand.
Peace Ladies.

Mel, I actually agree with you. I think Adrienne was hurt maybe because she’s thin skinned but hurt none the less. I don’t agree with her but I don’t think she is evil. I don’t think Kyle is either. I think she’s a little jealous of Lisa’s success and was also a little thin skinned over Lisa’s comments. She seems to like gossiping maybe more than she should but most of us are guilty of that at one time or another. Camille is neither a saint nor a monster. She has her good days and bad ones.
Your dog is so beautiful!
Thank you!
I don’t think they’re evil either. I definitely see your point. Hope to see you back here soon.
Peace Mel – have truly enjoyed your point of view, your pictures and your humor. Lisa’s blog was definately a thought provoking one.
I’m not going anywhere, I’m just not participating in the lambasting anymore. I just felt I was just as guilty of being vile as I was accusing them of being and needed to get it ‘out there’. It would take a lot more than people expressing their feelings about a TV show to drive me off
.
Oh, good, I was getting sad there for a minute.
Didn’t recognize you there for a second. No, I won’t announce my exit, I’ll just leave.
lol, it was giving me a headache seeing my hot pink avatar over and over while I was scrolling down the page..too bright.
I’m having a hell of a time responding to anyone. I keep getting 500 server errors.

Due to the fact that the reunion was taped a while back why didn’t the twitter wars happen then? If Lisa was so upset why did she wait until the public saw the reunion
to voice her hurt? Was she talking to TAK these last few months?
Nancy,
You are wrong. Lisa voiced her disappointment as each episode and incident happened on Twitter. She was hurt then as well.
Good Question! Maybe Bravo has some contractual components that would keep them from discussing what was taped? Maybe it really doesn’t matter to them unless the “whole planet” is watching? Seems like Adrienne was the horse’s ass at the reunion so why would Lisa want anything to do with her after the taping anyway?!
That’s my point. It’s been months now. Are we to believe the
“ladies” had nothing to do with each other since the day of taping?
I think they though that had buried the hatched. When people started bashing Kyle ( after T Party ), Lisa tested to please let go off her things have changed. Same with Taylor, she said things were better with her. I guess Lisa thought they were okay. The rest were holding grudges.
So now that it is being aired they are defending their actions/words from the public sector not each other?
They had an agenda to go after Lisa at the beginning of the S2. T Party and Russell’s email changed the dynamics of the group and divided that united front. Then RA suicide, united front again temporarily.
I know the ladies were busy promoting their stuff, then Thanksgiving, Holidays and Reunion 1st week of January.
Perhaps, during this time they decided to rehash the let’s go after Lisa they had planned because it didn’t happened as they wanted during the season. Whatever it was they wanted to be done in front of the cameras for viewers to see.
No, the reunion was only filmed one month ago, the first week of January. I do believe that they haven’t had much to do with each other since then. What photos and gossip have you seen of of them together since then? I can’t recall any. I think Lisa was very hurt and very much retreated since the reunion taped. It seems a pall was cast over the whole lot of them. Brandi’s blog gives a sort of summary of who she has hung out with since then, and it’s only Lisa.
Thank-you!!!!!!!! Now it makes sense to me.
1/5/12 was the reunion date.
YOur wrong, right after the reunion taped Lisa tweeted how upsetting it was. She even alluded to something Adrienne said during the reunion. Her tweets have been pretty consistant.
Adrienne just posted her blog. OMG — it’s right out of the Kyle playbook — “I was just trying to be honest!” Right….and petty, spiteful, mean-spirited and judgmental. She also falls back on the usual meme about stuff occurring off-camera that the public doesn’t get to see. I don’t care if Lisa, Ken, Pandora and Jason all ran over Jackpot in their cars, backed up and ran over him again. It’s no excuse for uncivil and back-stabbing behavior towards someone you consider a valued “friend.”
Remind me to never have you dog sit for me.
LOL! I have a dearly loved dog — just trying to think of something more heinous than calling a shoe “The Maloof Hoof.”
What kind of dog do you have?
We have an 18 yr old silver pug. (and 2 siamese cats)
We have an 18 year-old Miniature Poodle who’s sliding into dementia. It’s heartbreaking, but at least he’s living out his life span. We also have a very large, demanding Norwegian Forest Cat. If she doesn’t get her way, she looks fully capable of eating us. Thankfully, she’s too lazy.
We are actually looking into adopting a Norwegian Forest Cat..they’re very beautiful. Sorry to hear about your dog, I’m glad he has had a full life and is spending the rest of his time comfortable at home.
Good luck — Weegies really are wonderful, gorgeous, gentle giants. I’ve got to warn you, though, that even if you’ve had long-haired pets before, you’ll never experience anything like this kind of shedding. I brush her constantly and take off enough hair to cover a hairless chihuahua, but it’s never enough. My asthma has gone into overdrive, but I’d rather take medication than get rid of her. She’s family. Now, where’s my inhaler?
I married someone that is allergic to cats. Needless to say he now takes allergy shots because I wan’t going to get rid of the cats.
LOL!
I feel your pain. Our little Emily is blind and deaf now. It is heartbreaking. I hope I’m not keeping her alive for my personal gain. It’s a hard one.
That’s the dilemma. It’s the most difficult judgment call to make, since they can’t tell us when the quality of their life becomes unbearable. Keep the faith.
She will still play with me if I egg her on. We are looking into having her cataract removed so she could at least see. She’s very old so I’m not sure if any vet will operate at this age. My uncle is a vet and he wouldn’t do it.
I can’t believe how long pets are living these days, 18 years?? I remember dogs usually only to live about 12 years.
I agree.
The smaller the dog the longer their life span is.
Good thing I got a Pug!
Nancy, that’s one of the reasons we went w/a small dog too. Well, aside from the fact that we live in a condo so had an under 25 lb restriction. Love pugs though, I’ve thought about adopting one from time to time but Lucy doesn’t do well w/other dogs in the house.
Even if we didn’t get to see much of him, Jackpot is cool. I can’t get behind wanting someone’s pet run over by a car.
I hope you don’t think I was advocating running over anyone’s dog, much less Jackpot. Again, I was trying to come up with something so revolting, that it would make someone abandon affection, common sense and good manners to verbally attack a friend in front of millions of TV viewers.
I just read your statement more completely and apologize to you for saying what I Thought you said. THAT said however, if someone ran over My dog, On purpose, they better pray I never find them and can outrun a bullet because their life won’t be worth any more to me than his was to them.
Meet The Hound..

OMG! I love him! (is it a him? lol sorry)
Yes, He’s a him. Partially anyway
That’s Mel(vin)
Yes, but I’d bet you’d probably be discreet and do it off camera.
You bet’cha. I’d never leave a trail (other than the one I’ve just left here
).
…I LOL’ed. Hubby is now looking at me like I’m a dork after I told him what I’m laughing at.
I’d ride shotgun on that hunt!
This morning a guy in front of me intentionally hit a small dog so I copied his plate, called the PD in the town we were heading into and reported a drunk driver.
Good for you! Thank you for doing that. If people like you don’t take action these jackholes will continue to get away with disgusting behavior like this! You done good, WCW!!!
Ditto this. IDK how I missed this post earlier.
^5 to you WCW 8)
Ok ignore my question, reading comprehension fail. Beautiful dog, I’ll never understand ppl that strike and kill animals (wild or pet) on purpose
OK OK You show me yours I’ve got to show you mine. Cody’s the little black and gray one, Tanner’s the tan one.
SO CUTE
Well, if we’re sharing doggie pix….

Thats my Maltese Lucy with one of my little girls when she was first learning how to crawl
What a smart dog you have. I’d be running the opposite way as well if a baby was after me. (A beautiful baby that is)
LOL! Yup, she likes the babies before they are mobile and then she tries to steer clear. She loves playing with the 3 y/o, but the crawling baby climbing all over the dog stage is not her fave
How do you keep your white carpet so clean?
The carpet is actually pretty new, but this (http://www.amazon.com/Bissell-ProHeat-Healthy-Upright-66Q4/dp/B002KCMH6G) is a TOTAL lifesaver.
We have a Kirby.
Oh my girlfriend has a Kirby that I used when mine was broken, nice!!
She’s a cutie and so is the dog!
Thanks BB
Cute kid!
He looks a lot like the mystery white dog I adopted.
KYLE: “I do not know what Brandi’s reason for saying that was. However, if it really was something she had just “heard” she shouldn’t have repeated that without knowing if it was true or not. Repeating hearsay can be dangerous. It was very hurtful to everyone.”
Was what Brandi said any more hurtful than what Adrienne said about Lisa selling stories to the tabloids?
“Repeating hearsay can be dangerous.” Truer words were never spoken — too bad they weren’t directed to Adrienne and Camille.
Exactly!
Exactly! Brandi called Adrienne out and no one else on that invite to meet. And who is Adrienne’s business partner who wanted to set this up? Bernie, cook and pr consultant to the stars? But that caca comparision, I land squarely in the poop master general Kyle’s lap!
You’re so right. I can just hear Kyle saying it and cracking herself up over her sophisticated wit, aaccompanied by a hair flip, of course. No wonder Adrienne looked at Kyle slyly after she said that.
Moving past all the plastic frozen faces – how hard is it to truly and sincerely apologize for the petty crap these women threw at each other all season in their talking heads? Why did it have to come to slander/character assassination?
IMHO the talking heads started all of this.
Some of it is definately TH generated, but it sounds like media, emails, tweeting and intergroup gossiping were also brought to the reunion melee.
I bet Bravo is rethinking giving Lisa her own show.
Look at the response she is getting over the reunion.
I wouldn’t put it past Bravo to have planted the story of Lisa not getting her spinoff just to see what kind of response it would get. Just who are these sources they keep quoting? I don’t care if she gets a spinoff or not. I’m kind of burned out on the HWs right now.
I just reread the blog from this morning, and I don’t mean to be rude…but I think it’s a little uncalled for to say Camille must have been drunk bc she was on twitter at 2 am. Just because she got pissed and blocked some people, doesn’t make it right to start saying “oh she was drunk that must be why she did it.” With all of the real alcohol/substance dependency problems of this season, it doesn’t seem right to throw accusations like that out there.
Sorry
I’m not trying to offend anyone.
You don’t stand alone there. I thought it was inappropriate too.
I envisioned DeDe doing it not Camille.
That’s not what we are talking about.
Who said she MUST have been drunk. I didn’t see that. Are you talking about what Lynn said, because that’s not exactly what she said. Not defending the “speculation,” but let’s quote correctly please. If you are referring to something else, my apologies.
I didn’t quote directly, was jotting down my thoughts after reading through it again. Sorry, I wasn’t meaning to imply that Lynn said “Camille was definitely drunk.” I was just saying I thought even speculating that she was drunk was kinda crossing the line, because where is the proof…she’s up at 2 am on twitter, and blocked some people.
I wouldn’t have said it either, but it’s not my blog.
Don’t be mad at me. I like for people to say exactly what they feel, Brandi, Jr. It just makes me a little cranky when people are quoted as saying something they didn’t exactly say. Ya kno what I mean?
I’m sorry I’m really confused…did my post come across as mad? I was genuinely correcting myself, I was trying to make you understand that it wasn’t my intent to misquote Lynn, and trying to clarify my original post. I was just curious about other people’s thoughts, not trying to criticize Lynn or dictate what she should say… I think you’re misunderstanding me
Just reread my original post, and saw I used quotes. Sorry, everyone! Clarifying one last time, I wasn’t meaning to look like I was quoting Lynn’s blog. I had just read through the whole blog and was rambling and put the quotes in without thinking about it. My bad! BB, I see what you are talking about and thank you for pointing it out, it was never my intention to misquote Lynn. *facepalm* Teaches me to post w/o paying full attention!

And I apologize if I came across too strongly. No worries! I admire your forthrightness, Brandi, Jr. (and I mean that as a compliment).
Oh no, you don’t need to apologize…once I went back and read my post I saw what you were talking about
I understood what you meant and agree.
TY, I appreciate that
I understood what you meant originally and agree, too. ( I am up at 4am with insomnia and I definitely am not drinking:) I posted up thread about the same thing. I didn’t want to offend anyone either but the drinking speculation just seemed unfair to me.
Kyle’s obsession with honesty alludes to her dishonesty.
Love it and ITA!
Got to wonder if she has an altered definition of honesty which allows dishonesty when she feels it is better not to cause a casino (like with her sister) or when she would be held responsible for hurting someone’s feelings or breaking a confidence (like with Taylor).
Finally people are taking this “medical mystery” in Le Roy, NY seriously.
Probably because Erin what’s her name came on board. They are finally getting those toxic drums out of there. I feel so sorry for those kids.
I was just reading about this earlier today, scary.
Conversion disorder is very complicated but at least the powers that be are looking into this another cause.
it’s truly amazing what a little bad p.r. can do. Brockovich probably knew this, that she could just lend her name and things would start to move. This summer a telephone pole fell on my car. The lady called my dad’s number because the pole was in his yard and told him they would pay $500 and if it was over that they would have it totaled. He said ‘fine, I’m just going to call the paper now and tell them that your pole fell on my daughters car and you aren’t going to pay to fix it.’. Wow did that ever change things, lickety split they coughed up the money for the repair AND a rental car for me to drive for a week. Just posting in case anyone is ever in that situation. If they had called my cell (like they should have, lucily for me it was a lucky cross of wires…my dad can be quite a hemorrhoid when he wants to) i would have been stuck with a totaled car.
*You know who* is trying to get on the Jimmy Kimble show. (eye roll)
Can I have a J please?
I’ll take an L.. Double letter score
She is sounding needier and needier all the time.
Am I the only one still having issues posting?
No.
Site’s being glitchy for me too.
Well it seems we’ve all reached the point of exhaustion. First, have to say when Camille mentioned up at 2 a.m., I thought she was with her new boyfriend. That lucky wench! She paid her dues and I hope she’s just loving life now. I so greatly appreciate the dignity she’s maintained and focus on her kids. I can’t wait until she is free of that scallywag KG. (Can’t spell it and no other good characterizations come to mind.) But I hope to God at 2 a.m. she’s with that Greek God of hers. Also, tweets are so noncontextual that she could have meant anything. Hard to know what she really meant by “you don’t know anything.” Fact – we don’t live their lives, we don’t.
But I am exhausted by BH. I do think it’s hysterical that Kyle refers to herself at “royalty” of BH (as someone reported is in her book jacket). My take is that Lisa is a confident hard working quick-witted woman who doesn’t give a rats ass about what other people think of her. She’s loving life, her work, her family and friends. That is an entirely different MO from the other ladies – I just don’t understand their realities. I do love love Brandi. Couldn’t care less about a spa day with her highness. Taylor I have not one ounce of use for, not expending one ounce of energy on her. I do believe Bravo pacified her in the end to avoid a legal mess and are ready to give her the hoof, the Vanderpump. Like all good criminals and sociopaths, she’ll make her fatal mistake sooner or later. And from what I’m hearing I do have to go get Lisa’s book.
This may have already been posted and discussed; the Taylor interview in US Weekly? She said that when she first got pregnant Russell told her that she could only keep it if it was a girl? She said he told her that he already had two sons and he didn’t want a boy and she would have to get an abortion if it was a boy? So she got took some blood test early on in the pregnancy and sent her blood sample away for testing… she cried she was so happy when she got the results it was a girl. I have to say… her story is going from netting minnows by the shore to being Ahab and slaying the whale… with each telling the story is getting bigger and bigger.
My jaw might have just actually dropped. This is new info to me…WTF?!?!
I may have been wrong, it may have not been an iterview but excerpts (sp?) from her book. This isn’t the exact article but it is discussing it.

“Russell wanted to keep the baby only if it was a girl,” the tell-all continues. “Because he already had two boys. At five weeks I took a blood test and mailed in the sample to learn the gender, and fate, of our baby.”
Look up sociopath and it will all make sense.
That was an excerpt from her book wasn’t it? It was discussed herw and there was a question as to whether you could even have a blood test like that back then and I think it was possible. Whether it happened, who knows? Can you imagine even doing something like that? What if it had been a boy? Would she have aborted it? I shudder to think about it.
Hi BB! Yes it was an excerpt. When did she start writing her book? Interesting that this article came out in Aug 2011 posting the results of a study published that same week.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/10/health/10birth.html
The study says it is possible “as early as 7 weeks”.
According to what Brandi says at the reunion, she started writing it immediately. That Brandi, Lol. Interesting the timing of the article about testing.
I too find the timing suspect… then again I find everything about Taylor/Shanna/Ford/Hughes/Armstrong (did I miss any?) suspect.
I hope life in the OBX is treating you well!
Yes, but I’m chomping at the bit for warm weather so we can open the pool and enjoy the beach.
well, Taylor, if you are reading this by chance, i want to see the test. There’s no reason to hold it back. Have TMZ or Radar Online or some rag like that print a copy of the blood test with the baby’s sex on it. TheSmokingGun might do so. Cough it up.
this from the woman who got rid of her kid’s hypoallergenic dog on the claims that it was causing her kid allergies.
only a sociopath would dream up a story like this. the more public sentiment turns against her, the worse she is going to smear him.
it makes me so sad and truly a little bit mad at him. abusers can be really good at cutting people off from everyone they love. people won’t contradict the abuser (in this case Taylor) but that does not mean they believe them. i wish russell had had just a little bit more faith, for kennedy’s sake, and had held on a little longer, and let the truth about taylor come out…the truth ALWAYS comes out. (this is assuming of course that he death truly was a suicide, as she says).
I’m turning in early. Goodnight everyone.
Pindy, if you are still here, how is your daughter?
I posted on the Prayer page.
The test went well and all is healed… so now she needs to build up her strength and health.
Thank you for asking.
I don’t know what happened to my post on the Prayer page… strange, I remember writing it….
Once again, great blog! Firmly team Lisa here. Kyle is doing her typical “but it wasn’t my fault” backpedal. Lather, rinse, repeat. She and Adrienne have dug their own graves.
Kyle was probably ready to release her “book” after Season 1 but wanted to wait until Season 2 and limoGate was over. But girl just can’t control the beast. This time I think the beast is that Green Eyed Monster, no question. Her complaints about Lisa were so incredibly petty and the playing chess with Bobby Fischer rediculous. Guess what KYLE you’ve been playing Solitaire because if you think Lisa considers you competition and someone to outmaneuver your deluded… oh wait you ARE deluded.
Lisa considered you a friend.
Lisa’s views on loyalty are evident in this innocent tweet exchange they had Jan 23rd.
Kyle: Oh no, am I going to have to bail you out.
Lisa: …remember a good friend doesn’t bail you out…they’re locked up with you.
Kyle has never been Lisa’s good friend. She was a better friend to Adrienne and may those two enjoy the lockup together. Hope Adrienne’s stripper shoe line she crammed down our throats is a bust, except for “the phat little Pink one!”
Ciao until Monday. Thank you again Lynn!
Great post. Thank-you.
I don’t think she’s checked in all day.
I hope her daughter is feeling better.
I know she was having a GI study sometime soon.
Maybe it was today.
How are you doing?
Night night.
Wow – Saturday morning coffee and George Clooney on Actors Studio. Now THIS is going to be a good day! Have a good one everyone.
Good Morning LuvMyGals. Sounds like your day had the perfect beginning!
Good Saturday morning. Hope everyone has a great day today.
Good morning to you BB. Hope you have a good day also. Its about 41 out here on Long Island – I’ll take it!
Weird. My comment timed out, the page closed, but when I refreshed the comment posted anyway. Maybe that’s a good sign?!
Good morning

Boobah – Happened to me too. Sometimes when there are a lot of posts the site gets a little wonky.
The site has been running slow, sorry about that, we are working on it, I promise! Apparently the files are big….haha just a few comments and I tend to be long winded
We’ll get it sorted out soon! 
Thanks for your patience everyone.
Oh Lynn, believe me I wasn’t complaining.
Stuff like that happens and certainly not your fault. I enjoy your blog very much.
