Kyle Richards: “I Am Not My Sister’s Keeper;” Is Tired Of Discussing Kim Richards Issues!

Kyle Richards

Kyle Richards

Kyle Richards is tired of talking about Kim Richards‘ issues, and Yolanda Foster‘s! Kyle would rather talk about Kyle. And happy things! (I’m all for that).

In her Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills blog Kyle explains why she decided to attend Nicky Hilton‘s wedding, the addition of Erika Girardi, Kyle’s frustration with being “Kim‘s keeper” her concerns about Yolanda, and the blast everyone had at Ken’s birthday tea party. 

“I’m sure it’s confusing to some of you as to why I attended the wedding without my husband and two kids. I love Nicky so much, and the idea of not witnessing her walk down the aisle was weighing heavily on me,” writes Kyle. “My husband is the one who pushed me to go. He kept telling me that I will never get that moment back. He said that all families go through tough times but they WILL be resolved, and if I didn’t go we would all look back with regret.”

THE SECRET BEHIND KYLE’S FAMILY DYSFUNCTION! 

Actually, Kyle was disappointed to returned from Italy only to be forced to endure a conversation about Kim’s troubles. While catching up with the leopard-clad Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson Kyle felt like the prey being hunted by their thirsty stalking for information about Kim! 

“I felt bombarded with the Kim questions. I am not my sister’s keeper and had no desire to discuss what was going on with her with two people that are not close to her or her friends,” insists Kyle. “I love Eileen and Lisa, but it felt wrong.”

“Watching Lisa Rinna speak against my sister Kim in her interview upset me,” Kyle adds. “We all knew Kim was struggling, and it felt like she was kicking her when she was down.” 

Moving on. Kyle is impressed Erika demonstrated how she’s not a Hollywood Friendship by getting a Vitamin-IV drip with Yolanda

Erika is a fun addition to our group and I think you will enjoy getting to know her.” 

“IVs freak me out, and I have to give props to Erika for enduring that while supporting Yolanda,” says Kyle. I have to say I would be happy to accompany Yolanda but would not be partaking in the IV part. I think I will stick to swallowing my multivitamin.”

According to Kyle, Yolanda’s health is the new Kim’s Sobriety – meaning it is always a topic of conversation! “It seemed like everyone was trying to troubleshoot what could possibly be making Yolanda feel so bad.” (Including, adds Kyle, Yolanda herself – as evidenced by Yolanda’s nonstop treatment queries and discussions about Lyme). 

When Kyle mentioned Yolanda may be suffering more from mind over matter, Kyle was just sharing her own experiences.

“I spoke of my own personal experience after losing my mom,” explains Kyle. “I feel that for ME it was depression that brought on the fibromyalgia, which also has similar symptoms to Lyme Disease. Yolanda and I had discussed that too in the past. None of us are doctors or have had any experience with Lyme Disease.” 

And finally the fun parts – tiny horses, huge hats, and wet cocktail dress contests! 

Kyle wonders about the tiny horse (“pregnant donkey”) excursion, “I would have loved seeing them try to get that horse on the private plane.” 

Describing Ken’s birthday as a “beautiful day,” Kyle feels the rain only added to the magical quality. “At first Lisa was nervous about the rain, but then we all were happy and embraced it.” Even the hats. “It really did make me feel like we were all in an English garden.” 

“Clearly, we all love to have fun and that’s what I love about this group of women,” says Kyle.. “I mean we are grown adults laughing and swimming in the pool with our clothes on. When will we ever grow up? I hope never!” 

Interestingly, Kyle does not comment on Taylor Armstrong questioning of Yolanda’s Lyme Disease. Interesting indeed! 

Instead Kyle reveals that there was real concern for Ken’s health – not just his fabulous and expensive shoes – when he was pushed (by whom I still want to know?!) into the pool!

“He had just had surgery and still had stitches in his hip. It was actually very scary,” admits Kyle. “We all screamed and swam to Ken who at first seemed to just sink. As we lifted him up he seemed disoriented. After he got out of the pool he perked up. I’m sure he had a little incentive after what Lisa told him he had to look forward to later!” 

TELL US – WERE LISA AND EILEEN OUT OF LINE BY ASKING ABOUT KIM? DID KYLE MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE BY ATTENDING NICKY’S WEDDING?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kenya Moore Plans to Undergo IVF

Kenya MooreThe Real Housewives of Atlanta’s resident pot-stirrer Kenya Moore is not letting her age or marital status stop her from keeping her eyes on the prize, a bouncing baby boy or girl. Kenya recently revealed her plans to undergo invitro fertilization in her quest to join the ranks of mommyhood.

The 44-year-old former beauty queen first made her surprising announcement last year on her highly rated reality show. On one of the episodes, Kenya had a few friends and family members over for dinner when she heralded, that she might need a larger home for herself.   Baffled loved ones were then given the news that Kenya planned on expanding her household to include a child. “I’m going to have a child. I have an appointment to see a fertility specialist,” the dramatic diva coyly stated. Instead of being met with ecstatic enthusiasm, Kenya was faced with varying degrees of skepticism on as to whether or not, she can actually fit the unending demands of motherhood with her full schedule. One friend retorts: ‘You’re a busy person. Having a child takes time and patience. Do you have that?’ Kenya’s Aunt Lorie, who helped raise her, then lays down a boom by posing the question, “Why do you feel that you want to have children so badly?” Kenya then forlornly responds, ‘I’m so tired of not having my own family.”

During a recent interview with OK! Magazine, Kenya admitted to pretty much having her baby plans all set in stone, “I actually have an appointment set up for early next year. It’s IVF.”  The raven-haired reality show villainess even went on to discuss with the magazine, the fertility process that lies before her stating, “It gets a little complicated, but when a woman ovulates, a certain day you have to come in to get tested to show how many follicles that you are making that ends up being eggs, the eggs that you have to retrieve and grow,” she said. “So it pretty much coincides with your cycle.”

As tongues begin to wag about Kenya’s dreams of rocking her own babe in arms, who will the babydaddy be? Kenya did reportedly confirm that she has a sperm donor but remains mum about naming a specific romantic dalliance. “ I’ve been dating multiple people,” she admitted. “But I would have to say that there definitely is someone on the show that I didn’t expect to gain so much attention from me and me to kind of fall for — It’s a really pleasant surprise.”

Obama to Appear on Jerry Seinfeld’s ‘Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee’


By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS from NYT U.S. http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/12/21/obama-to-appear-on-jerry-seinfelds-comedians-in-cars-getting-coffee/?partner=IFTTT

Teresa Giudice’s Life After Prison Release! Plus, Real Housewives Of New Jersey Season 7 Starts Filming!

Teresa Giudice signs bottles of her Fabellini sparkling wine

Teresa Giudice signs bottles of her Fabellini sparkling wine

Pay attention PUH-LEAZE! Teresa Giudice will be released from prison on December 23rd, which means in 2 days’ time. Yay – it’s a golden, leopard-print, CHARGE IT! Christmas at the Giudices once again. Let’s just hope Melissa Gorga doesn’t f–k up and bring sprinkle cookies because in times of celebration – like when your sister-in-law gets sprung – only a pignoli cookie will do! 

“… she’s getting released on Dec. 23, I don’t know exactly what time. I will be picking her up and driving her home,” Teresa’s attorney James Leonard Jr. confirmed. Teresa served 11 1/2 months of a 15 month sentence at Danbury Federal Correctional Institute. She received early release as a first-time, non-violent offender, who exhibited good behavior

Despite her release the Real Housewives Of New Jersey star isn’t free as a bird! Teresa is required to wear an electronic ankle monitoring device and will be on “home confinement until Feb. 5.”

“During that period, she will be able to work, she will be able to take care of business, medical [things]. She’ll be out and about. And then when that period ends, she will begin a period of supervised release,” explains Teresa’s attorney. “The sentence that she got was two years of supervised release.”

“I can tell you 100 percent, she is not going to a halfway house.” 

Teresa isn’t coming home to a rosy situation either. Her Montville mansion was just saved from foreclosure. In October the IRS filed a lien against the Giudices for $551,563 in unpaid income taxes between the years 2000 and 2013. They still owe a $13 million dollar debt and they are currently engaged in a lawsuit with their former bankruptcy attorneys. The Giudices filed a $5 million dollar suit against them for malpractice. Teresa and Joe also have to continue their hefty restitution payments. Teresa’s attorney refused to comment on the outstanding legal issues. 

“It’s Christmastime. We’re trying to keep things very positive and upbeat,” he quipped. I expect Teresa will be addressing all these issues, plus more in a special WWHL sit-down. 

Speaking of Christmas, Teresa is spending Christmas Eve with the beavers at Melissa and Joe Gorga‘s house, alongside their parents. Per her attorney, Teresa is “allowed to attend family events, so long as everything she does is communicated with the [person supervising her release]. If she wants to go to church or do things like that, she will ask permission.”

Teresa is also reportedly jumping right into filming season 7 of Real Housewives Of New Jersey, which was largely on hiatus until her release. Her attorney acknowledges Teresa is allowed to participate in filming despite home confinement. “If she were to re-sign with Bravo, she would be permitted to film the show … That’s how she supports her family.” Teresa is expected to be well-compensated for the exclusive on her post-prison life and is absorbing a large portion of this season’s budget. 

Tom Murro told NorthJersey.com that filming officially began last week, although “some prior filming” has been happening while Teresa was incarcerated; including Melissa opening her clothing store Posche Jr. Envy

The confirmed cast includes Teresa, Melissa, and Jacqueline Laruita

“Everyone else is part time with an option of full time if they perform,” Tom says. The list of part-time cast members currently includes Kathy Wakile (plus Rosie), as well as Dolores Catania, Robyn Levy and her wife Christina Flores (supposedly longtime friends of Teresa and Joe), plus Tenafly author and matchmaker Siggy Flicker. Below are a few photos of the new potential Housewives. 

It’s unclear if Dina Manzo will return. The longtime friend of Teresa posted a photo of a slumber party with her goddaughter Audriana

Dina Manzo slumber party with Audriana“Slumber party with this little munchkin!! Someone is VERY EXCITED for CHRISTMAS!! #godmommytime,” Dina exclaimed. [Credit: instagram] According to Dina, Audriana is very smart for her 5 years. “Her words ‘I still can’t believe Milania made Santa’s good list!'” Dina added. I can’t believe Teresa made Santa’s good list… 

It’s also largely suspected that Teresa will film a spinoff about Joe Giudice going to prison, and her life without Joe, similar to Teresa Checks In. Joe will begin serving his 41 month sentence in February.

Teresa is also releasing her prison memoir/tell-all bookTurning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again. She will be doing “will be doing some media and local signings,” says a spokesperson. She’ll also be recording an audio reading of the book. *SHUDDER*

Real Housewives Of Atlanta Recap: NBA-CRAY

RHOA in Miami

RHOA in Miami

Honestly I don’t know what to say about last night’s Real Housewives Of Atlanta. Sorry this is late by the way – I was re-playing the ‘Glen Gets Slammed Into The Wall’ scene on repeat until dawn. 

Somewhere Glen Rice Jr. turned to the very dark side. Either he’s a drunk, rude, out of control jerk; or he’s a rude, out of control jerk, but alcohol (+ Kenya Moore) made things worse! 

I think we can ALL agree we’re not getting the whole story from Bravo. Based on the women’s reactions, Glen’s 0-60 psychosis, plus the 3 mobile refrigerator units that appeared out of nowhere to practice their sumo skills on Glen and living room wall, I’d say some serious SERIOUS information got lost on the editing floor. Right next to Porsha Williams‘ couth, dignity, and trophy wife status! (Did she REALLY admit to a golden shower on television last night? Really?!) 

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

Glen Rice Jr. Is Rude To Kandi

Glen was “so nasty, and so rude!” all night. After he schooled Kenya – rightfully – for snapping in his face and she laughed maniacally about how spicy he is and tried twirling her skirt in his face (no success), he mouthed off to Kandi Burruss  for getting an attitude with him when he asked about her pregnancy. DUDE – DUUUUUUUDE: pregnant women are allowed to be grouchy as f–k. So don’t snap, “I don’t want nottin’ from you.” Kim Fields directed him away from Miami’s Old Lady Gang, so Glen compliantly wandered away. 

Meanwhile Porsha was playing MTV Spring Break Bikini competition, Party Of 1 for Oliver. The man she met at the restaurant. The BEST part of the episode – Oliver slips getting into the infinity pool and almost does a full-split! 10 points for flexibility and 10 more points for excellent recovery. Someone’s golden shower just got overshadowed! 

At that juncture, Kenya and Glen are sparring. Far from being the love connection of Kenya’s next fake boyfriend dreams, Kenya decides Glen needs to get ‘The SECURRRRRITY Treatment” and leave.

Here’s where it gets dicey. Glen was walking out the door, with Tammy Browning escorting him, when Kenya decides  to administer a lecture to Glen on being an impolite houseguest! Timing is everything, Kenya (7 Habits…)! This ‘confrontation’ seemed staged to me. Just me? 

Kenya Confronts Glen

Glen charges towards Kenya and calls her a “little bitch”!! Phaedra Parks amazingly acts as Kenya’s sentry and didn’t flinch a muscle. Tammy tries to stop him. Glen (Intentionally? Accidentally?) shoves Tammy – hits Tammy? – I’m not sure because it seemed like I was watching two very different moments spliced together – and Tammy falls on the marble floor, whacking her head.

Phaedra attends to Tammy

Security bum-rushes Glen. Kenya bum-rushes the ladies who didn’t witness the incident to get her side of the story out right quick, and Phaedra attended to Tammy, directing Porsha and Shamea Morton to get towels, ice and call 9-1-1. 

Kim tries to communicate situational awareness to Kenya, but Kenya temper-tantrums in response. Kim is all, ‘The best way to nip tantruming in the bud is to ignore them,” so she grabs her suitcase and rolls to a hotel! An ambulance snags Tammy.

Glen… Well, one would think he disappeared, but SURPRISE! like the Boogeyman he returned at 4 am to escort Tammy, in her hospital robe plus socks(!) back to the house, “children of the cornrows”-style. The other women wouldn’t let them in. Except Kenya and Cynthia Bailey (those two had a tiff earlier), the ladies were awake making iPhone movies mimicking the evening’s events. 

Tammy + Glen returns

There are NO CAMERAS up for Glen’s return. Only some grainy iPhone footage survives. The next morning Kandi leaves. And the women have all decided Kenya is absolutely at fault for provoking Glen into a violent reaction. 

I’m confused. Sheree Whitfield, Kim, Porsha, and Phaedra emphatically recount how Kenya goaded Glen into his aggressive outburst – which, from what I saw, did not happen. Phaedra even makes it a political issue about how black men are misaligned in our society. 

I am interested in this perspective, because, yes, Kenya was obnoxious towards Glen, and even a bit spiteful that she wasn’t getting his attention (even though dude looked like the aftermath of a week-long bender and was using the hot tub as both a shower and a washing machine). However, except for the ridiculous confrontation when Glen was leaving, outwardly it didn’t appear as if Kenya did anything coax Glen into snapping. Certainly the confrontation at the end had a ‘straw that breaks the camel’s back’ feeling for the both other ladies and Glen.

Kandi is leaving

Based on that, I’ve decided 5 things:

  1. We are not getting even close to the whole story. There was serious messiness involved that was swept away in the editing room and for some reason they don’t want us knowing the full story. And it certainly appears to be centered around Kenya’s behavior. 
  2. Tammy has terrible taste: from her beer, to her braids, to her boys.
  3. If I’m ever stranded on a desert island, or in any type of emergency with a Real Housewife, I choose Phaedra. Lady was cool as a pickled cucumber under pressure. 
  4. Kenya should stop the shenanigans and try being herself for a change. Or at least pick a personality other than shit-stirring delusional Krayonce, Miss WHO-SA, the beauty queen on bathsalts who constantly cries innocent victim as if this shit isn’t on film. (Speaking of – do you think she slipped Glen some bathsalts?)
  5. Real Housewives Of Atlanta needs some MAJOR classing up. Let’s steer this wonky boat in a different direction and showcase some fabulous Atlanta women, living fabulous lives (but She By SheBroke&Shady can stay). 

Back in Atlanta, Kim calls-out Kenya (YES!) for brewing trouble. Kenya attempts to use ‘smart-speak’ to twist Kim’s words, but Kim is actually smart and sets her right straight! Kim asks why Kenya added negativity into the cocktail of Glen + Booze, thus helping to create a potent NB-CRAY! 

Kim confronts Kenya

Kenya feels her actions were justified, because she was fighting for her friends’ safety. Mmmmkay. Kim announces, “When I wanna bounce – I bounce.” (And she ain’t talking’ about checks!). 

TELL US – ARE WE GETTING THE WHOLE STORY? DID KENYA PROVOKE GLEN, OR WHAT IS UP WITH THE OTHER LADIES’ REACTIONS?

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Star Lisa Vanderpump Mourns the Loss of Her Beloved Giggy’s Father

pandora tweets about daddio's passing

lisa vanderpump's dog daddio

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump is mourning the loss of one of her adored poochies, Daddio, who was the father of Giggy, her cherished teacup Pomeranian.

Lisa took to social media over the weekend to inform her over one million Twitter followers of Daddio’s untimely demise. “My little Daddio passed away whilst we were traveling back, daddy of Giggy whom we adopted two years ago. So very sad,” said the 53-year-old avid animal lover.

The reality show star times two, confirmed Daddio’s adoption last January on her Twitter site stating, she had done so in between filming for her reality show gigs. “Yes I adopted him, when we weren’t filming…maybe it was on pump rules,” Lisa confirmed.

Even though Daddio’s stock remains a mystery, Giggy, on the other hand is a celebrity is his own right. The teeny pooch who weighs in at about 3 pounds suffers from the hair loss disease, alopecia.   Lisa and Ken keep Giggy, whose little paws rarely touch the ground, clothed, because the disease has ravaged most of his coat.

As soon as news of Daddio’s passing hit Twitterverse, Lisa’s throngs of fans offered their heartfelt condolences. Beverly Hills castmate Lisa Rinna was also touched by Daddio’s passing and tweeted, “I am So very sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Daddio. I know you all loved him so.” 

Lisa’s daughter Pandora also Tweeted, “My poor baby… I miss you already Daddio,”  sharing the photo below.

Kim Kardashian West Launches Her Own Emoji App, Kimoji

Veritable money-making machine, Kim Kardashian West has struck oil yet again and this time, it’s with the launch of her new app, ‘Kimoji,’ a series of emojis dedicated to what else, all things Kim. The eponymous app comes on the heels of the recent birth of Kim and Kanye West’s son, Saint, born earlier this month.

The app’s icons include Kim’s famous bodacious derrière, her crying face, middle finger salute, waist trainer and her sister Kylie’s now famed trout mouth. Why did the serial entrepreneur, who is reportedly worth around $85 million, feel it necessary to gift her Dash Dolls with Kim-infused speech bubbles as a way to communicate via text? Regarding Kimoji, Kim told Rolling Stone Magazine back in July, “I wanted to do really fun, different emojis that you don’t see on your phone,” said the 35-year-old pop icon.

Kim, now considered to be a major tech industry player, launched a wildly successful mobile game last year entitled, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. The game app raked in a reported $200 million in revenue by year’s end. Kim’s next ka-ching tekkie venture, involved the launch of her lifestyle website this past September, along with her sisters – Kourtney Kardashian being the most recent as she launched her site last week.

Now the question remains, will this latest app be a hit for the 35-year-old divalicious reality star? Time will tell.

The 11 most-popular Survivor stories from 2015

Survivor Cambodia Second Chance final six

It's no secret that Survivor earns a lot of my attention. Besides its status as the show responsible for the waves of reality television that followed, the simple truth is that it continues to engage me on every level, from its exceptional production design to the game that's played. In one year, the CBS series went from celebrating its 30th season with a season that was a miserable low to bringing back beloved players for an outstanding season that proved how much Survivor still works. Here's what people read the most this year about Survivor on reality blurred. Read this story »

Brooks Ayers Wins $130k Settlement In Vicki’s Vodka Lawsuit!

Brooks Tells All

Brooks Tells All

Just in case you need a reminder that Brooks Ayers is no stranger to scandal, he was once involved in helping Vicki Gunvalson launch a vodka line. Vicki’s Vodka went defunct after a slew of lawsuits and crazy allegations between Brooks and Vicki’s former partner Robert Williamson III. One such allegation being that Robert accusing Brooks of hiring a hitman to off him! Yes – that happened. 

The accusation came when Robert filed a lawsuit against Brooks for, among other things breach of contract, fraud, and misrepresentations

Of course Brooks denied it. The judge found no evidence that Brooks attempted to solicit a murderer for hire and found Brooks had never breached any contract. Therefore the judge determined Robert’s suit was “frivolous and without merit” – and case dismissed! And guess what: in the only good thing that has happened to the Real Housewives Of Orange County star this year – Brooks won!

The motion filed by Brooks‘ attorney moved that Robert be responsible for paying Brooks‘ attorney fees. The judge agreed and made that award on that condition. 

Per the ruling, as provided by Starcasm

Defendant David Brooks Ayers moves for attorneys fees against Robert Williamson III, who sued Ayers and other defendants over a failed vodka business in 2013. Finding that there was no reasonable basis for Williamson’s claims against Ayers — which Williamson himself seems to admit by not responding to either Ayers’s motion for summary judgment or to this motion for attorneys fees — I grant Ayers’s motion.

Vicki was also embroiled in a lawsuit with Robert, which she eventually won. She was also counter-suing Robert (not sure if that’s still happening or not). 

Let’s see if Brooks actually turns this money over to his attorney. Or possibly uses it to buy some legit-seeming cancer documents. Maybe he’ll donate some to cancer research!

2015 has been quite the year for Brooks! He was accused of faking his Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma diagnosis, which he continues to adamantly deny even with irrefutable evidence – such as when he presented fake medical bills to E! News (for an interview he was reportedly paid $12,000 to participate in). After the scandal broke, Brooks dumped Vicki and moved to Florida. Let’s hope 2016 sees Brooks spending his money quietly – away from Real Housewives Of Orange County

Brooks is now rumored to be writing a tell-all book with Jim Marchese, the scandal-prone husband of former Real Housewives Of New Jersey star Amber Marchese. I just can’t…
