Lisa Rinna Disgusted With Lisa Vanderpump; Tweets After Reading Her Blog
Lisa Rinna is on a family vacation, attempting to relax, but it is wound up a bit after getting a load of Lisa Vanderpump’s blog this week. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star hit back at the “vile” things LVP had to say about her and Eileen Davidson.
She started off her blog, which she wrote BEFORE she saw Lisa Vanderpump’s. She must’ve read my rant from the other day. “Hola from Mexico! I see you. I hear you. I agree with you about this nonsense dragging on and on and on. This has gotten far too drawn out and confusing. Life is too short. I’m done. It’s all so silly and mind numbing, isn’t it? The salacious events have happened, albeit wildly confusing, and I hear you all loud and clear. Time to MOVE ON.”
She continued, “So, I will happily move on with my margie in the sunshine on a beautiful Mexican beach, which is currently where I am for spring break with my family. Cheers, and I’ll see you all here next week for the finale.”
Lisa says the finale is going to be a lot of the same shit, but we all knew that already. “WARNING: In the finale, we talk about the same sh– in a different, beautiful location. Let’s just say, it’s a good thing I didn’t cancel my order on that diamond zipper Louis Vuitton body bag I ordered for myself last season. I may not get out of here alive, but dammit, I will go out in style.”
After Lisa finished up her thoughts and then caught wind of Lisa Vanderpump’s blog from this week. She took to Twitter to share her two cents on LVP’s words. “Caught wind of LVP’s disgustingly vile blog. What “speaks volumes” is the lack of class she tries so desperately to convey. Unacceptable.”
She added, “So much for a peaceful vacation. I’m disgusted at how Eileen was spoken of. She is my friend and no one should ever speak of her that way.”

Hot Photos: Teresa Giudice Attends The RHONY Premiere Party And More Reality Star Sightings This Week!
The reality stars were out and about event hopping this week! Last night most of the cast of The Real Housewives of New York turned out for a screening party – minus Carole Radziwill and Bethenny Frankel. But there was an additional Real Housewife in attendance: Teresa Giudice, who came with her attorney James Leonard and her BFF Priscilla. Dorinda Medley was on RadioAndy this morning to dish on the screening party and set a few things straight from last night’s premiere episode.
NeNe Leakes showed off some major cleavage at the 27th Annual GLAAD Media Awards as she got on stage with Derek Hough – who was mesmerized by NeNe’s girls. Also at the awards – Caitlyn Jenner.
Shahs of Sunset stars Asa Soltan Rahmati, Mercedes “MJ” Javid, and Mike Shouhed were on the red carpet for the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Erika Jayne stopped by to chat with Jenny McCarthy on her “Dirty, Sexy, Funny with Jenny McCarthy” show in L.A.

Real Housewives Of Dallas Star Tiffany Hendra Denies Adult Film Allegations!
Tiffany Hendra, one of the stars of Real Housewives Of Dallas, once lived in LA as a model and actress. She’s since returned to her Texas roots with her Australian rocker husband, but she is now facing allegations of a secret past as an adult film actress!
Confronting the rumors head-on, Tiffany explains that no, she didn’t star in any pornos – she just went the Scheana Marie route by acting in a Skinemaxxx After Dark series. Tiffany openly admits to going topless for some “love scenes” in the network’s 2004 series Black Tie Nights, but insists she went no further – not on Cinemax, or anywhere else!

“My nudity rider said that they couldn’t show below my belly button or below the top of my butt,” explains Tiffany. “I do own the fact that I knew I was taking my clothes off,” she adds. Tiffany’s husband Aaron was not only supportive, but was in her dressing room “to make sure everything was cool.”
Tiffany declares that she has “no regrets” about her steamy past, because “I was hired for my acting ability.”
She has since retired from acting, and now is devoted to empowering women rather than shaming them. A message that’s very important to her given Tiffany’s own past as a sexual abuse survivor.
“I was sexually assaulted when I was 16, but kept it a secret until I was 31. I felt shame,” Tiffany shares with Us Weekly. “All the pain that I did go through, I use that for a purpose now. Helping women love themselves — that is my intention.”
Well I’m glad Tiffany isn’t hiding her skeletons in the closet and hoping the door is never opened – if you’re gonna be on reality TV it’s best be honest and open about anything that may pop up!
With that said I cannot wait for the premiere of Real Housewives Of Dallas on Monday, April 11 at 10pm

Katie Rost On Her Engagement: “Perfect Place, Perfect Proposal, Perfect Moment”
Katie Rost finally got what she’d been begging for all season on The Real Housewives of Potomac: a proposal from boyfriend Andrew. Now the self-proclaimed “ball and gala girl” opens up about how the debut season of RHOP ended, and where she and Andrew are at today.
Despite rumors that the couple is on the outs, Katie claims everything is just perfect, perfect, perfect! Before getting to her scripted outline take on the engagement, Katie first breaks down Gizelle Bryant’s messy “Come to Jesus” luncheon. When invited to lunch, Katie admits, “My cynical side DID assume she just wanted to have a dramatic ‘attack session’ style luncheon where perhaps she did some of the following: 1. She wears a dramatic hat that just screams, tolerance, style, subtlety. 2. She says dramatic things while sitting back, arching an eyebrows waiting like for someone to allow her to launch truly fascinating stories about examples of behavior that are either very White or very Black (but NEVER are they EVER– any mixture of to two!) 3. She does dramatic stuff like jump up from a table, pointing and screaming, when Katie dares to say ‘obviously I’m a black woman, I’m also bi-racial!'”
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Katie sarcastically adds, “I mean the fact is, I was just plain old psyched to not only be invited to lunch… But to find that all of my wild mental assumptions were completely, utterly and entirely unfounded.”
But Katie didn’t let the lunch drama bother her because she was in her bubble of love, after all! She reflects on Andrew’s proposal in the aptly named “Vortex” on her farm. “Andrew proposing to me was perfect. It was magic and romance and love and just perfect. The perfect place, perfect proposal, perfect moment in time and I’ll never forget that amazing day. We laughed and cried and the cows at my farm didn’t mind our rated xxx make out sessions which followed the proposal.” Um, eww.
Although Katie’s love bubble was temporarily burst at Gizelle’s luncheon, she wants to make a few points clear about exactly what went down. “First, it was Ashley [Darby] who called Gizelle and Robyn [Dixon] bi-racial, not I. For some reason people keep saying it was me, it wasn’t. But I still took on the fight, because who cares who said it. They kept going there for months with the ‘this is a white thing, that’s a black thing’ comments. I simply responded.”
RELATED: Ashley Darby Calls’s Gizelle’s Luncheon “A Session of Ridiculousness!”
Katie accuses, “If any white person ever dared to say ‘White people don’t do that, why are you acting black or, is that a black thing’ I shutter to think of the backlash.” (I think she meant shudder, but I get her point!) She adds, “People who listen, who have ears to hear, will hear the point I was making. People who want to be hardened to listening, won’t. I’m over it. I believe in equality. If you don’t, that’s your problem.”
Possibly alluding to this coming week’s RHOP reunion, Katie warns in her blog that the drama is far from over! “I was disappointed with myself that I cared to get sucked into negativity,” she writes, “But I’m human. I forgive myself and everyone else. At least, until next time…”
Interestingly, in the reunion teasers, Andy Cohen calls Katie out on not wearing her engagement ring, which is followed by a shot of her breaking down in tears. While this may be salacious editing, one has to wonder whether Andrew’s proposal was just for show, or if it’s the real thing. Stay tuned!

Khloe Kardashian’s Talk Show Kocktails With Khloe Is Canceled!
After less than 3 months on the air Kocktails With Khloe has been canceled.
Confirming the news, Khloe Kardashian tweeted, “Hi my loves. I’ve enjoyed every second of shooting #KocktailswithKhloe. Your support each week has meant more to me than you could imagine, and I’ll continue to make time for our weekly chats.”
“There are SO many exciting things coming up for me that I can’t wait to share with you…,” Khloe added. Khloe’s show will not even finish shooting its first season, although the remaining completed episodes will air.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
As for what went wrong, a production source dished that due to Khloe‘s lackluster performance as a host, network execs were no longer interested in investing more time and money into the show.
TMZ reports that both the FYI Network and Khloe were unhappy, and it was a mutual decision to cancel Kocktails With Khloe. Khloe is interested in pursuing “other jobs” (not “working” but filming Keeping Up With The Kardsahians?), while network execs complained about her obviously “checked out” on-air demeanor.
In a statement to Page Six, the network officially announced the cancellation, “FYI and Pilgrim Media Group appreciate everyone’s great work on the series and are pleased that the show brought new viewers and significant numbers to FYI’s linear and digital platforms. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Khloé and thank her for her hard work and unique voice that she brought to the series.”
Season one was originally slated to run through June, but the final episode will now air April 20th, which features guests Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, and Kimye (with their Kimye Fashinsanity, I presume).
Personally I always thought the show was a lower-rent ripoff of WWHL.

Southern Charm’s Kathryn Dennis Channels T-Swift On Her Relationship With Thomas Ravenel: “We Are Never, Ever, Ever Getting Back Together!”
To quote my favorite now defunct VH1 show, Kathryn Dennis may be having the Best Week Ever. Not only did the unfiltered, controversial Southern Charm star look stunning on Monday’s Watch What Happens Live–I’ll refrain from commenting on all of the hair flipping, except for this sentence :), but she’s gaining support of fans who once just loved to hate her.
On the heels of this week’s Southern Charm premiere, the mother of two-year-old Kensie and five-month-old St. Julien with on-again-off-again-WAY-OFF-AGAIN boyfriend and old school scoundrel (I mean that in the most charming of ways) Thomas Ravenel is opening up about the duo’s tumultuous relationship. And this time, she’s not airing her dirty laundry on various forms of social media with snarky tweets and passive aggressive status updates. Instead, Kathryn is articulately discussing why she and T-Rav just don’t work. Is our favorite little strumpet maturing into a force to be reckoned with? I’d say so!
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Speaking to Bravo’s Daily Dish, Kathryn admits, “I know I’ve said that a lot, but we are definitely, officially, over,” joking, “Taylor Swift said it: ‘We’re never, ever, ever getting back together.'”
She shares that she gave up on the hope of her relationship with T-Rav working out after the birth of the couples’ second child. Kathryn recalls, “Well, it was a long time coming. I think what really motivated it was that I had Julien in November, and I had hoped that having two children, something would fall into place somehow, magically,” adding, “[Thomas] was talking about marriage in the hospital. He really wanted to make it work. And then he just flipped a switch, changed, and I don’t know. I kind of was just realizing my kids were more important than the way I feel about him romantically.”
While the pair isn’t in the best place, Kathryn is hoping that the two will be able to co-parent over time. She tells the site, “It’s a work in progress. I’m confident that we’ll reach a place in time where we can peacefully do that.”
The reality star also touches on her very public fights with T-Rav over social media, and she cites he’s quick to publicly air their dirty laundry. Kathryn asserts, “I will be honest. There’s been questionable behavior. I’m sure people see it on social media, every platform he blasts me on, so that’s not been fun, but you know, hopefully he’ll get over that.”
She also addresses one of her infamous Twitter rants about Thomas’ parenting skills (and lack of child support) after he posted a picture of himself with a mystery woman on Instagram on Valentine’s Day. Defending herself, Kathryn states, “I didn’t even see that [photo] before I posted [the tweets]. Someone sent that to me after I tweeted. I feel like I’ve been so lied about publicly by him that I don’t know, I just kind of caved, and I don’t even remember what I tweeted, but I tweeted something finally. I felt really stupid afterwards because I don’t like to stoop to his level, but it’s hard to be lied about, especially when it’s parenting and children.”
Of her allegations that T-Rav is still ducking his financial responsibilities, Kathryn continues, “I’ve gone without electricity. I’ve gone without heating and air. He doesn’t even ask me if I’m OK. He doesn’t care at all, but that’s fine. I’m gonna make it work on my own. I always have, and I’ll figure it out.”
Responding to Thomas’ claims in a Charleston City Paper interview that she won’t allow him to see their children, Kathryn says that he used to visit Kensie and Julien every two weeks. However, Kathryn confirms that she hasn’t let him spend time with the kids in over five month. She explains, “It’s not because I’m trying to be mean to him. It’s not motivated by my own personal hatred. It’s motivated by the simple fact that I don’t know if I feel comfortable trusting him alone with them right now, given his behavior and the company he has.”
To recap that interview, Thomas accused, “Here are the facts: I don’t have the right to see the kids. She won’t let me see them. I’m paying child support, even though I don’t have to. I’m not using the power of the purse. She’s using the power of the kids by not letting me see them, ruthlessly and to their detriment.”
Giving a statement to the Daily Dish immediately following the City Paper piece, Thomas reiterated, “She refuses to respond to my offer of $4,500 per month with my paying 80 percent of all medical and education costs and we’d split custody 50/50. This would be court ordered which means it would protect her in that if I didn’t pay I’d be thrown in jail. Also, she has rejected three mediation dates claiming that SHE would be out of town. She is also on her third attorney.”
Kathryn maintains that their passionate love story suffered from many more lows than highs, and she’s learning from their relationship and trying to better herself. She concludes, “Thomas is very troubled, so he’s a lot to handle. Whenever I was with him, it was always constantly placating him, constantly being his therapist. I gave everything to him, literally. I devoted myself completely to him, whether or not people believe that I loved him genuinely or not, I truly did, and I will stand by that until I die. In that same period, I forgot what I loved to do, what I think. I had to kind of always conform just so he wouldn’t have an outburst. I lost myself. I stopped painting, I stopped modeling, I stopped caring. Now that I’m not with him, I’m realizing things I love again.”
Is Kathryn growing up or is she just learning to keep her cool and bite her tongue in interviews? We’ve got the entire season ahead of us to make that call!

Real Housewives Of New York Recap: Ri-lationships
Last night was the season premiere of Real Housewives Of New York. We met new Housewife Jules Wainstein. The original B of Bravo, Bethenny Frankel, also returned, and whew, was she some kinda mouthy! Bethenny apparently sees herself as the reverse fortune teller of RHONY; she won’t tell you your hopeful future, but with condescending judgement she will point out everything that’s wrong with you, your life, your past, and your overall way of being.
Bethenny is also the ‘Party Police’ this season – obviously replacing the woman she once loved to hate, Heather Thomson, who gathered her big-girl shaping panties and fled this Skinnygirl bar.
Things begin in Bethenny’s new apartment. Hurrah – she’s no longer homeless! The new place is nice, but in that blandly generic HGTV design show sort of way. Dorinda Medley visits to gawk over Bethenny’s Traum Safe, as if it’s something Dorinda couldn’t afford to install in her own pad. Bethenny and Dorinda have become close, but there is one major issue: Bethenny doesn’t approve of John. Like at all.

Bethenny also doesn’t approve of how much Dorinda drinks – which is why she serves her wine (Skinnygirl wine). Dorinda announces she ‘quit’ drinking. Like a cleanse. I mean she did it for like 1 day so that counts, right? To intentionally misquote and terribly rework Mark Twain, ‘Beware of friendships that require you to curb your natural appetite for partying and booze!’
They’re planning a brunch and going over the guest list. Carole Radziwill is axed. Bethenny complains that Carole has grown distant since becoming connected at the hipbone to Adam, her much younger hipster. More on those two later.
Dorinda has a substitution – this friend Jules, whom Bethenny has met. Dorinda believes Bethenny and Jules will get along famously, but serves Bethenny one warning: don’t mention Jules’ husband’s height.
Over in the Land of the Ramona, it’s Dating Season in PinotTown. Lock up your pinots!
Pinot’s boobs have mysteriously grown fuller, but her Turtle Time remains the same. I personally think the implants are too big, but I mean, I’m not trying to get my prowl on among the hot AARP crowd in over-priced cocktail lounges. But Ramona is – oh Ramona is! Now Avery is legally able to drink and supervise the Turtle Time. Oh, poor Avery!
Ramona, Ramona, Ramona… Pinot can’t pronounce the bartender’s name, confusing her with one of Sonja Morgan‘s interns, she calls her Radish, Roku, Radiccio, Rascal, Raindance – whatever (her name is Rokia). Avery looks on, cringing and sitting beside her friend, who Ramona doesn’t remember even though the girl spent a whole weekend in their Hamptons’ house. Poor Avery – it’s always Freaky Friday opposite day in her world.
In other bizarre situations, Luann de Lesseps has temporarily moved in with Sonja! Luann is downsizing her NYC apartment and Sonja’s daughter has gone to boarding school. So, here we have RHONY’s real-life version of AbFab.
Sonja is sad discussing how her daughter left, but alas, what kind of life is it for a teenage girl to be roaming around Sonja’s crumbling townhouse? Where the remains of the day rumble through the rooms like a subway train, knocking loose more plaster that won’t be repaired, as Sonja’s interns scurry around, red-faced and harried, responding to her demands to do business in the bathtub where Madame Morgan demands a Sharpie, a guest list, a cocktail and one of their friends on Tinder. In short, no teenage girl wants to play Estella to Sonja’s Ms. Havisham!
Since Sonja doesn’t like to admit that change has come and the present is sweeping in and engulfing the past and tossing it into the future, she puts Luann up in Quincy’s bedroom – an odd choice given the prevalence of guest rooms! Sonja warns Lu not to bring men back “to my daughter’s bed,” but it’s perfectly fine to go into detail about blowjobs.
Lu has an extra set of teeth bones, behind her teeth, a throwback to her Eskimo lineage. Good lord – Luann’s an Eskimo, an American Indian, a Countess! What’s next the missing daughter of the Flying Walindas, who escaped the circus-life by hiding in the trunk of a visiting ex-pat fleeing Romania and his own gypsy, but royal roots courtesy of his mom’s affair with a prince? Let’s hope! Anyway, Sonja’s only comment about Lu’s extra chompers (all the better to bite you with a snarky comment, my dear) is to worry how Lu accomplishes blowjobs. Sonja then demonstrates how blowjobs work, and what parts of the mouth are most essential. Luann warns if she’s not careful the poor man could end up with “railroad tracks.” Why do I think there is some sort of fetish porn for this type of thing, and some sort of knock-off porn version of Sonja and Lu’s convo called Crass With The C-ntess will emerge?
Moving along, Jules is at home pretending to cook things. Her apartment is a little dark and musty-seeming, even though it’s huge, high-ceiling-ed, and new. Jules is a “stay-at-home mom” with a full-time live-in nanny and a housekeeper. But, still, she’s busy, busy, busy! Dinner for the family is essentially frozen stuff and spaghetti she tossed together just in time for the nanny to drag the kids through the door, and her venture capitalist husband Michael swans in.
Jules parenting…. well, she says “bribery” is her most useful parenting tool. Not nannies? Speaking of nannies, Jules is half-Jewish/half-Japanese but claims she gets confused with the Filipino nanny when she’s carting her blonde daughter Rio around. Apparently other nannies, noticing her clothes, wonder about her salary. Oh Jules…
Jules and Michael were childhood friends, who re-met as adults. He’s 10 years older and was used to dating Eastern European models, but had to marry a Jewish girl, so he picked the most non-Jewish looking Jewess he could find – that would be Jules! With her hair that hangs flat and lank down her back like a cape. This ain’t no Kyle Richards hair, although Jules is already showing off her hair-copter and hair-flipping it with reckless abandon into people’s faces and food. I never thought we’d find a Housewife with more annoying hair-skills, but here we be!
Jules’ family dinner is basically insanity. The kids aren’t sitting at the table, her son, Jagger (5) was supposed to eat spaghetti, but is instead bashing a bagel and screaming, refusing to eat it, even though Jules promises he can feed half to the dog. Then he’s stole popsicles out of the freezer after Jules told him no. Michael barely looks up as he brags their 5-year-old is “negotiating.”
Oh my….
Carole is happy with Adam, and they are shitting their modern love story all over NYC. Carole had baby fever, which she dubs a “nesting urge,” so she adopted a puppy and named it “Baby.” All kindsa wrong misanthropic metaphor there. But Adam loves Baby as his own.
Carole and Adam take Baby with them to a camera store – even though it says “No Dogs Allowed,” but Carole jokes that Baby is a service dog. A service dog that’s not feeling well and is going to the vet, so Carole collected a poop sample and put it in a coffee cup, which she places on the counter of the camera store! Well, at least Adam bought a camera for his upcoming trip to Ethiopia (Bethenny will surely have to delete him on IG over that!). Meanwhile, Carole will be staying home, wiping Baby’s butt, and pining for his safe return.
Carole is still not over her issues with Luann as she berates Lu for maligning her character and announces that she will not have Adam in the same room with Luann, who makes them both “uncomfortable.” Uhhh… is Carole Adam’s mommy, or his lady?
Speaking of love, it’s John and Dorinda’s monthly anniversary, so he takes her out to dinner. He’s so happy, that walking through the door of an expensive restaurant, John hands a homeless guy $5 and seems impressed with his own generosity.
Dorinda is wearing a dress that zips up the front. John, “the chubby toddler” she is forced to lug around, can’t contain himself – or keep his hands to himself – as he zips it up for “Good Little Johnny” and down for “Naughty Johnny.” Dorinda – time for all of Johnny to take a perma-time out. Instead, Dorinda is wondering if John should move in with her now that Hannah, her daughter, is moving out.
In addition to a new apartment, Bethenny has a new office, but one thing remains the same – she’s still not divorced! The elevator smells like weed, and that is the only chill thing going on there. Bethenny barges in, lectures her staff about giving Skinnygirl a fresh, fierce look even if they have to screw their boyfriends on the desks to have a good idea, then she storms out after opening the electric bill from the apartment Jason is squatting in. Bethenny is, shall we say, in the weeds.
In between mating, Ramona is lunching. First she meets Bethenny where they lament the constant state of drunkeness that is Sonja. Ramona, who is now single, and has an image to protect on the dating scene and cannot go out with her. Ramona complaining that someone is embarrassing? Mmmmkay! They also bond over disliking John. Bethenny complains that Dorinda is constantly trying to convince them to like him, but she don’t do propaganda. Oh, so what the hell is all that Skinnygirl garbage propped up in every corner of every scene?
Next, Ramona has lunch with Carole, who literally says all of two things. First, when Ramona mispronounces reggae as “ri-gay” Carole corrects her. After several prompts, Ramona finally, triumphantly manages “ray-gay.” Ramona talks non-stop, rambling on, about anything and everything, until Carole wonders if Ramona behaves this way on dates. Carole advises, “Someone once told me: Talk less, smile more.” Was that someone Lee Radziwill, because that advice is straight out of 1880. Without missing a beat, Ramona cackles that if she and Carole combined themselves they’d be the perfect woman. I don’t know that there’s any combining Carole’s wannabe Carrie Bradshaw forever “Hot Child In The City” style with Ramona’s satin cocktail dresses, but I’d love to try it. We could create a fashion monster!
Finally Bethenny brings a date, John, (who DOES look vaguely like Jason!) to meet Dorinda, her John, Jules and Michael for brunch. John annoys Bethenny from the get-go: All he talks about is dry-cleaning, which he shamelessly self-promotes. Interesting that this bothers Bethenny. Someone once told me: “We dislike in other’s what we know is annoying about ourselves…” Aside from all that, John is annoying – he keeps pointing at Dorinda’s shirt like there’s a stain (there isn’t), then running his finger up to bop her in the nose, like one of those annoying grandfather jokes. “Ugh… ” groans Bethenny. Agreed.
Jules arrives and gets right to the business of explaining that her job, as a mom with nannies, is harder than Michael’s job. Luckily she does get a paycheck since she has a credit card. Bethenny forms an instant dislike for Jules and sneers about Jules being one of those ‘kept women’ who thinks money comes from the money tree and earns her funds by reaching for Michael’s wallet. There is something off-kilter about Jules, and I’m just gonna say it: I don’t like her!
Since Betheny is in a bad mood over the whole Jules thing she starts passive-aggressively making comments about Dorinda getting way too drunk at a party in the Hamptons. A weird scene occurred where John literally carried her out. Bethenny seemed to be hinting it was absuive. “I get emotional when I drink,” Dorinda acknowledges, trying to minimize the situation. She’s embarrassed Bethenny brought it up, because it discredits her in front of friends, and makes her look bad. Bethenny’s poor date! I hope he was compensated handsomely from the Skinngirl Safe.
There’s something else – Jules reminds Bethenny of her mother. Particularly her thinness. Bethenny, who declares that she owns the expertise on being naturally thin (since she – shameless plug! – wrote a book), knows when someone is unnaturally thin. Someone like Jules. Bethenny knows this because although Bethenny never had an eating disorder (didn’t she tell us repeatedly about her bulimic past?!), her mother did.
Bethenny whispers her eating disorder speculations to Dorinda. Then Jules plops down next to Bethenny, swinging her hair in Bethenny’s face. Bethenny suggests that Jules be Princess Leia for Halloween, and Michael could be R2D2! She laughs hysterically while Michael looks crestfallen – being sensitive about his height and all – and Dorinda cringes. Maybe Bethenny and John – Dorinda’s John – should just get together since they both have zero social couth!

Kathryn Edwards Describes The Drama In Dubai As “Nails On A Chalkboard;” Tells RHOBH Co-Stars To “Get Over It!”
Kathryn Edwards is disappointed that the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills trip to Dubai and her birthday were hijacked by drama being “rehashed” over and over again. Her advice to her co-stars: get over it, move on, and accept that there are two sides to every story, not one truth. Speaking her own truth, Kathryn doesn’t hesitate to call out Lisa Rinna‘s duplicitous motives nor Kyle Richards‘s refusal to own her feelings.
On Kyle being caught between two Lisas, Kathryn is exasperated and wonders, “How could all of this be such a huge issue when the two people it concerns aren’t concerned?” Enter: Eileen Davidson and Lipsa.

On the topic of Eileen, Kathryn is exhausted by her Apology Quest. “It’s nails on a chalkboard to me, and I want to let out a silent scream when I hear this topic anymore.”
“It’s so obvious that there is a difference of opinions on the topic, and as much as I understand that, there are two sides and these two sides will never make a whole, so again, please, let’s move on…” beseeches Kathryn. “I’m begging at this point.”
Kathryn’s birthday may have turned sour and thorny by drama, but the “bright spot” was connecting with Erika Girardi. “We put the past behind us, and it felt like we finally forged a real friendship. While the others argued, we found our way.”
Unfortunately the others drifted further and further apart and dragged everyone else down with them.
“I thought that we’d all be able to reconnect and have some shallow conversation over shopping and purchases – because that mall was fabulous – but no,” laments Kathryn. “The cold shoulders and tension between Lisa R, Eileen, and Lisa V were palpable.”
Kathryn hoped that possibly visiting the Burj Khalifa “could scare some of us into forgiveness and acceptance and make everything else seem petty compared to the long way down?” Not quite!
RELATED: Eileen: “I Told You Lisa Vanderpump Was Never Really Sorry”
Of course things only sunk further on the yacht. Kathryn says her birthday dinner “will go down as one of the biggest wastes of what could have been a great night.” It had all the elements: gorgeous scenery, deluxe accommodations, perfectly chilled champagne, designer outfits, the view, great friendships… Oh wait. Nope not that!
“I was trying to keep spirits up and act like I didn’t notice the ice between them, but I don’t think I was very convincing.”
“It’s all the same thing, rehashed over again,” sighs Kathryn in her Bravo blog. “You all know the story…” [Kathryn gives a Cliff Notes version, but we know what went down – we’re over it. What a coincidence, so is Kathryn!]
Exhausted by the negativity during the “dinner from hell,” Kathryn blames Kyle for circling the drain and not fessing up to her feelings. “I wanted Kyle to verbally say that she believed Rinna and just put an end to it. There was so much hemming and hawing and we are all smarter than that. I prefer the directness of the truth. Say it, own it, move on.”
And no one needs to take Kathryn’s advice more than Lipsa:
“Rinna made the Munchhausen comment. I don’t buy the manipulation accusation whereas Rinna wouldn’t have said it if she wasn’t goaded by Lisa V. Sorry, I’m a big believer in accountability. Rinna is a smart woman who has maneuvered Hollywood and much bigger sharks than Lisa V. I believe that Rinna made the conscious choice to engage in the conversation and then wanted to fess up to Yolanda to clear her conscience. Sh–, would Yolanda have ever found out that Rinna’s hairdresser was talking about this if Rinna never offered the info up to everyone?”
#EPICREAD
“Maybe I’m naive but I don’t see the master manipulator in Lisa V,” continues Kathryn. “Maybe I don’t come across as someone who will follow, but nonetheless, personal accountability has to be first and foremost.”
Finally Kathryn recognize Kyle‘s efforts to try and salvage her birthday with cake and Chanel. “I was really sad that this was the way the evening turned out,” she admits. After the boat Kathryn and Erika had champs and cake in their suite, so the night ended on a pleasant note.
Kathryn even found something kind to say about Yolanda Foster‘s picnic with Kim Richards and Brandi Glanville. “I don’t question their friendships…it’s not my place…just like we shouldn’t question the friendship between Lisa V and Kyle. If it works for them, why should anyone care what the bond is formed over.”
Initially I found Kathryn annoying, but as she’s settled into her own, I’m liking her more and more. Maybe she can hear better and that’s giving her more confidence? Or maybe she’s relaxed in front of the camera and with the women? I found her one of the most enjoyable women on the Dubai trip – she actually wanted to have fun! I also appreciated that when Kathryn and Erika agreed to get over their disagreement, they meant it and embraced the opportunity to start over and get to know each other. That’s called “adult friendships” ladies – try it!
