REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS – 1/23/12

O Happy Day! Five months later and we’ve finally reached the end of this sordid mess. Yes, last night was the season 2 finale featuring Pandora’s nuptial bliss and the usual tie-it-up-with-a-bow closure. Before we get to that:

* Jill Zarin is supposedly getting a reality show on FOX to be called “Beverly Jillbillies”, in which Jill moves to the BH9 and takes over. Who is going to watch this?

* Rumors are flying that Camille and Taylor will not be asked back for season 3 of RHOBH. Camille apparently has other opportunities awaiting that she can’t pull the trigger on until she’s officially released from Bravo. Taylor, however, has no other source of income (other than royalties from her upcoming tell-all) and is stricken.

* Additionally, Kim really doesn’t want to come back, but she needs the money and has no other source of income, so she may be on in a reduced role. This seems a delicate balance – she’s certainly the sort of loose cannon the show thrives on, but with … Continue reading

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS – 1/16/12

Happy Tuesday! I hope your day is off to a great start. As for me, I am feeling a bit cobwebby so let’s hope I can shake that off. You see, the wonderful people at Comcast decided to shake up the broadcast schedule, so my Housewives are now on at 10 rather than 7. The good news is that because of this delay I got to see Ben jettison the weepy anteater last night. And I’m wondering: has Courtney done a cold sore medicine ad in the past? Every time I look at her I think “cold sore” and I am wondering where my subconscious is getting this from.

Let’s get onto a Housewives update, shall we?:

* Taylor Armstrong’s friends are pressuring her to go to rehab for her drinking, per RadarOnline.

* Kim, on the other hand, is out of rehab and has been seen on the town in the BH9.

* If you, like my friend Sarah, were wondering if Kyle has legs, that’s because she forbade producers from shooting her … Continue reading

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS – 1/9/12

Howdy do! We’re nearing the end of the Miserable Season of Russell, glory be. Just two episodes left – the opening of Sur, followed by Pandora’s fancypants wedding, and then the reunion on January 30. As far as I know this is a one-part reunion, and according to Mr. Andy Taylor did not cry. Oh, and Kim wasn’t there. Sounds stoic, other than The Glands who supposedly yelled at everyone the whole time, which makes no sense at this point except as an attention-seeking behavior. In other news:

· Newlywed Brandi Glanville is currently denying a “report” in the National Enquirer that she hooked up with Demi Moore two years ago at Bruce Willis’ wedding in the Caribbean. Again, sounds attention-seeking.

· Jill Zarin is still seeking attention by claiming the new NY housewives hate Ramona and that without Jill there’s nothing to hold the group together. But she doesn’t miss them because she’s happy traveling with Bobby.

· And finally, Bravo has announced what’s to come this spring, which includes what may … Continue reading
