I’m back. My week off from Bravo (and recapping) turned out to be a week off from TV in its entirety, something of a fast, I suppose. Sadly without weight loss. Apparently I missed Kim’s nose’s quinceneara and another White Party, at which Dr. Paul essentially admitted the truth of The Glands’ litigation allegation, much to Adrienne’s dismay. Oh, and Lisa’s old house burned down causing Adrienne to run amok. I’d hate to be stuck with that fool in a real emergency. Also happening:
* Lisa Vanderpump has been announced as a competitor on the next season of DWTS! It seems like something of an older-skewing group, although that may be because I don’t know who half of them are. It’s hard to say whether she’s technically the first Housewife to land on DWTS, as Joanna Krupa from RHOM was on DWTS before she became a Housewife (which was kind of odd in the first place), but regardless you know NeNe and Tree are steamed because DWTS is definitely a bigger deal than The Apprentice no matter what Donald Trump thinks.
* The Glands’ book is selling fantastically well, and now comes the possibility it will be made into a movie! She also landed an Oscars red carpet gig which I did not see, but I saw photos. The glands of The Glands were a news story of their own, and she has been widely titled Worst Dressed. I personally would give that to Kristen Stewart, who inarguably earns the title Surliest.
* From Twitter, Taylor Armstrong shares that someone threatened to kill Lil’ Kennedy last night and the FBI is involved. Someone previously threatened to kill Tay herself via Twitter. Subsequent tweets were along the lines of “Blergh, Lisa Vanderpump is my homegirl, #RHOBHOKPUIFARTED” etc. which all sounds suspiciously fueled by chardonnay. Hopefully all is safe and secure at Casa Armstrong this morning.
* In Atlanta, Kenya and Phaedra have released dueling butt-building DVDs. I am really curious to know whether there is a market for this.
* The NY ladies are freaking out because they were theoretically to start filming really, really soon and no one has contracts. Sounds like we’ll either get a wholly refreshed cast, or they will fail to uncover any new options and we’ll end up with all the same pack all over again.
* In NJ, filming continues, and sadly our favorite gay roommate Greggy is leaving the building and moving to San Francisco. He was the Radzi of NJ and will be missed.
* And finally, RHOC returns on April 1, taking over BH’s spot. All the same gals are back with the addition of Lydia McLaughlin, an heiress who edits Beverly Hills Lifestyle magazine and apparently adheres to the Bellino-variety religious streak. We can expect to see plenty of wedding planning from Tammy Sue (but not necessarily the wedding itself, which she is apparently angling to get its own spinoff) and a fake breakup between Vic and Donn2, as she is rumored to have unloaded him months ago but re-enacted The End for TV on that weird NYE ski trip with the Dubrows.
Andiamo, kittycats!
sorry, there is NO way Lil Mr Lisa is a few years younger than Lisa, when she is easily in her late 50’s or early 60’s. That means her friend Sue executed a real cradle robbing. I think they are fudging the ages here….no surprise!
Right on, jessica1! The age fudging must be RAMPANT here! This article at WetPaint (http://www.wetpaint.com/real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/articles/lisa-vanderpumps-age-how-old-is-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-star)
says 52, but I’m calling BS on that as well. I think she’s older, darnit! She looks fabulous, don’t get me wrong, but I’m guessing late 50’s as well.
Can we pause for a moment and try to fathom the reason she would lower herself to appearing on DWTS?! Money? Nope. Fame? Ding! It’s ridiculous. So much for needing to be at her restaurants 24/7…
I like Lisa, but she’s overexposed already.
That article claims 52?! I like Lisa too but that is outright lie, it has to be. She looks fab and maybe, just maybe I’d say certain style choices *age* her a bit. And Ken has to be in his 70’s (or just about).
We shouldn’t be surprised, it’s Bev Hills and there is no benefit in telling your real age there, unfortunately.
