After the season finale of Don’t Be Tardy tonight, Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann were in NYC to hang out with Andy Cohen in the Clubhouse on WWHL. They discussed viewer concerns over their kids’ swearing, Kim’s possible nose job, and more! Kim even answered a few questions about her former Real Housewives of Atlanta co-stars.
Andy plays a montage of the Biermann kids and their potty mouths. Andy asks where they got those mouths and Kim laughs, “I have no idea.” (More on this later in the show)
Andy then shares that back in 2009 when Kim was on the show, she had a gig at a gay bar right after WWHL and Andy went along to introduce Kim. They recently noticed on the ad for the event that Erika Jayne actually opened for Kim way back then before they ever knew her!
Kim shares an update on her heart, “I have irregular heartbeats which isn’t uncommon when you have a device put in your heart, but it happened like six months after I had it put in. I’m good. I’ve been running every night, trying to kind of get my heart in better shape.”
Andy asks if it’s possible that Kim‘s lips have gotten bigger since he last saw her. “No, I haven’t had them done in a while.” Andy doesn’t believe her and says “Sweetie, you need to stop, okay?” She swears no. Andy doesn’t let up and says he feels like both she and Brielle (who is the ‘bartender’ for the night) have gotten their lips made bigger since the last time he saw them. Kroy says it’s makeup.
Andy plays a game with her, asking questions about her former Real Housewives of Atlanta co-stars.
The first caller of the night asks Kim if she thinks her cursing in front of the kids will have a negative impact on them later in school? “No. KJ is in school, he’s in kindergarten and he knows, he’s always known, when he’s able to cuss and when he’s not. So, no, it’s not an issue at all. In fact he’s one of the best behaved and his teacher says he sets a perfect example every day, so…” Andy shares with her that they received those questions the most tonight, about the kids and cursing.
Andy asks Kroy his opinion on it since he’s more of a “straight arrow.” Kroy shares that it’s proven and there are studies that have shown that a person who curses is more honest and can handle stress better.” Kim says “Google it!”
After a commercial break Andy says that Kim shared with him that KJ was given an award at school for being “most Christ like.”
A caller asks Kroy about his free agent status. “I am currently still a free agent. I have not retired. Right now I’m just kind of waiting to see what pops up.” Andy asks what Kroy’s agent has to say about his exposure on the show. Does it make Kroy more marketable or less marketable? Kroy says it doesn’t have any affect on it. Andy thinks it’d be a big draw to get fans in the stands.

The next caller asks Kim to please, please, please admit what work she’s had done to her face. Kim is irked. “Oh my God.” Andy butts in and says “You won’t admit your nose job, which we KNOW you’ve had.” Kim is irritated and says “Can I show you something? If I’ve had a nose job, don’t you think my septum would be in place? (she tilts her head back) Because it’s not! I mean, seriously, my nose is not straight. My nostrils would be straight as well.” Kroy got a little offended and Andy says “Kroy, I’ve known her longer than you have!” Kroy tried to deny that that was true. Andy says “Hello, I’ve known her since season 1! You met her in like season 3…” Andy is pleading with Kroy to admit that Kim had a totally different looking nose. Kroy blames it on four pregnancies and Kim agrees and then says that’s what happened to her lips, too. Andy is NOT having it. “No, NO!” Kim tells Andy to Google it.
A viewer asks Kroy what his first impression of Kim was when they met and has it stayed the same throughout the years? “My first impression was that she was a very vibrant person, a no-bullshit straight shooter. Someone who was in control and had a good life ahead of her and that’s true.” Andy says “the one thing I love about Kim is she has not changed since I met her.” Kim says that Andy hasn’t changed either and then snipes at him about how he STILL doesn’t invite her to parties, and says that even in his book he admits that he didn’t invite her to an after party he was having after a night when she was on WWHL. “August 15th, 2015!,” Kim recalls. “Read Superficial and you will see!”
Another fan asks why Kim thinks Kroy would be a good fit to co-host with Kelly Ripa on Live. “Kroy is very well spoken, he’s super funny. He’s hot. He’s very educated. He’s very well rounded. I think being a dad, being a football player, being on TV, you know?”
Someone asks if Brielle is going to be allowed to move to Chicago since her boyfriend Michael was traded there. Kim says “Brielle is not moving anywhere until she has a ring on her finger.” Brielle chimes in to say she agrees with her mom but that she’s 19, almost 20, and if she does want to leave, she can. Kim reiterates that she doesn’t think it’s good to move in with her boyfriend until she has a ring. Andy asks Brielle if she has a job at this point. Kim quietly says “she’s my assistant!” and Brielle says “yes, I have many.”
Andy then pulls up a split screen – on one side is Kim and her nose from season 1 and her current nose on the other side. Andy says “So you don’t think that nose is a LITTLE different, Kim?” She exclaims “NO!” Andy makes her turn her head into the same pose as the photo from season 1 and he’s just floored that she continues to deny. It’s completely different. Andy says he could look at this all day. Kim comments that everything has kind of changed and Andy quips, “yes, it sure has.” Kim says again that if she’s going to have a nose job, it’d be a hell of a lot shorter. She says she’s been honest about everything else she had done – her tummy tuck, her boobs, etc, so why would she not be honest if she really had a nose job?
Andy shares that Kim is going to be the last Real Housewife to be on WWHL in the old clubhouse and says they had some great memories.

Turns out we may get to find out how I met your father after all! Nearly three years after the end of How I Met Your Mother, there's a spinoff in the works, but it's not the...I know they had their ups and downs in the past, but for the past few years NeNe Leakes and Gregg Leakes are really the epitome of #RelationshipGoals. I hate employing such an overused hash tag, but it really is true. They truly seem to love and support each other whenever possible. Gregg stepped his game up by throwing a surprise birthday party for his wife.
Gregg even got NeNe’s (on again) bestie Cynthia Bailey to help him out by distracting NeNe so she would be surprised. Props to Gregg for pulling one over on NeNe. I’m not trying to throw shade, but it is very clear that NeNe runs things in this relationship, so surprising her is no small feat.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
NeNe’s girl Cynthia posted a pic of what looks like NeNe’s entrance at the party and she genuinely seems surprised. Along with the pic, Cynthia wrote, “Thanks Gregg for giving me the impossible task of trying to keep your wife @neneleakes busy today (without spilling the beans) while you planned her 50th Birthday Celebration.” It’s nice to see that Cynthia and NeNe are not just on good terms, but that they are really close again. I always loved their friendship and their feud was just way too much for me to watch on Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Even though the party worked out perfectly, Cynthia did admit that she did a have a little trouble getting the birthday girl to her own party. Cynthia wrote, “Although we almost ended up at our favorite sushi spot (that’s another story) instead of the party, somehow I managed to get her butt there.” Thankfully Cynthia was able to to persuade NeNe to show up at her own party. That would have been mad awkward.
NeNe didn’t have too much to say about the party on social media, but she did share a video of Keke Wyatt performing at the event. All NeNe wrote with the pic was, “They got me #surprised at work @Keke_wyatt sanggggg.”
I’m not sure about the whole guest list for the event, but NeNe’s frienemy Kenya Moore was present as well, but then again I did see the two of them hanging in a recent Instagram photo on both of their pages, so I’m not super shocked. Kenya and Cynthia, newly dubbed as Kenynthia, posted the same selfie on their Instagram pages. With her post, Cynthia wrote, “Happy Wednesday@thekenyamoore #nenesbirthdayparty #kenynthia.”
No worries though, Kenya also posted a sweet pic of the three of them that did include birthday wishes for NeNe with such a Kenya caption: “Happy Birthday#richbitch I like that @rollsroycecars your hubby got u #boss#StillHereStillFabulous #rhoa #queens.”

I’m just so curious about whether or not any other RHOA cast members or alums attended the event. Of course, I checked everyone’s Instagrams, but as of now I don’t have any more info to dispense. Nevertheless, it seems like NeNe’s 50th year is off to a fun start.

The fact that Montauk residents are against Summer House is not at all surprising. I know the Bravo reality TV show has not even aired yet, but there were reports that people were annoyed when it was filming, so it was inevitable that they were going to be upset when the previews started to surface.
Obviously, there is going to be even more protest once Summer House episodes start airing on Bravo. The same thing happened with Jersey Shore and pretty much any reality show with a location that’s integral to its story lines and marketing. The irony is that all of the protests against these reality shows bring them even more attention and possibly increase viewers.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
In a not-so-subtle move to generate buzz, two twins from Summer House had lunch with Stassi Schroeder during the last episode of Vanderpump Rules. Obviously, they’re trying to go for some sort of crossover effect and bring the Vanderpump Rules viewers into the Summer House fandom before the show even begins. It wasn’t organic to see the twins at SUR and it felt too contrived, and that is saying a lot coming from reality TV addict like myself.
I’m going to give this show a chance because I give every Bravo shot a chance, but for people who have a mind of their own, I doubt they were impressed by the little taste we got from the Vanderpump Rules guest appearance. The people of Montauk are also unimpressed with the show and there has been a lot of protest against it, of course. According to Page Six, Montauk’s Chamber of Commerce does not approve of the show and claimed it was not even really filmed there.
The Chamber of Commerce president Paul Monte said, “Bravo falsely puts out that Summer House was filmed in a Montauk house.”
That’s not a huge deal. I mean, most of the Real Housewives shows aren’t even filmed in the city that the title claims. Many of them live a little outside of the city and just claim it as their own. Maybe I’m the only one who isn’t offended by the misleading location of the series? I really don’t care about that as viewer. I get the point. Montauk doesn’t want tourism from the show to de-class the place and make it less exclusive than it’s supposed to seem be. I just come from the “all publicity is good publicity” way of thinking when it comes to reality TV-driven tourism and increased profits for local businesses.
RELATED: Montauk Residents Complain About ‘Summer House’ Filming
Still, the president added, “In fact, the house was located in Amagansett. Furthermore, the producers were denied a permit to film on public lands anywhere in East Hampton Town, and that includes the hamlet of Montauk.”
This man emphasized the same point that we have heard throughout the years with other reality shows when he added, “We are very concerned that this show promotes a false picture of Montauk as a raucous party town, when in fact, the complete opposite is true.”
Even if Montauk is not a “party town,” the people on the show like to party and the show is about those people, not the town as a whole or its residents.
It never made sense to me when people just criticized an entire community for the actions of a few people on reality TV. Maybe I only feel this way since I am from New Jersey and had to respond to a lot of Jersey Shore criticism back in the day. My point is, anyone with a half a brain would realize that this show is about the individuals on it and it would be dumb to characterize the entire town for the actions of a friend group on summer vacation. People need to chill out, look at the glass half full, and enjoy the increase in revenue from tourism. Every “classy” location has ratchet people in the midst. Just accept it and move on.

Shocked that Sundance Head won The Voice? He is too. "I actually was very shocked, because the whole time, even myself, I predicted Billy [Gilman] to win," the 37 year-old...If I was Eileen Davidson, I would really be going in on Lisa Vanderpump following that last episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Not only did LVP continue to mess with Eileen, but she also made an extremely inappropriate and out of nowhere comment about Eileen’s husband Vince Van Patten. Plus, LVP made up with Lisa Rinna and not Eileen, which didn’t make much sense to me.
Nevertheless, Eileen is so over her beef with Lisa. Or at the very least, she is not mentioning it much these days; Eileen is more than happy to talk about all things RHOBH except for LVP. She conveniently leaves any mention of Lisa or her various nick names out of the conversation. Yet, the tension between them is beyond obvious, so she’s going to have to publicly address it eventually.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
Although I’m personally over Eileen and LVP passive aggressively digging at each other for over a season, I do think it’s kind of strange that Eileen doesn’t even want to address it now. In her most recent blog entry (and the one before that), Eileen doesn’t even address Lisa by name. She just alludes to being over talking about this shit – a sentiment that I can relate to!!
I don’t blame Eileen because I would be scared to mess with Lisa, but she already has, so she might as well keep going with it unlike everyone else who backed down from LVP – well, except for Brandi Glanville, but that didn’t go so well for her. RIP to Brandi’s steady paychecks from Bravo.
RELATED: Eileen Davidson Wants To Put Last Year’s Drama Behind Her
Even though Lisa Vanderpump was extremely rude to Eileen the entire episode, and even had the audacity to say that Eileen’s husband Vince was busy “up other women’s skirts” at the party, Eileen weirdly doesn’t mention that at all. Meanwhile, Lisa is pulling this shit about how she stands her ground and sticks up for herself in the face of adversity when she was such a shit stirrer last year. On an other note, it’s so weird how I absolutely worship LVP for being a great boss and role model on Vanderpump Rules, yet I can’t deal with her passive aggressive tactics and Ariana Grande up-do on this season of RHOBH. It’s a real Jekyll and Hyde situation there.
The only thing that Eileen mentioned about Lisa didn’t even directly call her out, but I do actually agree with her sentiment, “It became evident that some of us are still looping a broken record, trying to rewrite history, and others are trying to move to the next track. I know, I am, for one, the latter. Everything else about the subject has already been said. Moving on…”
RELATED: Lisa Rinna Dishes On Drama Between LVP and Kyle Richards
That’s all I want too. I just want to move on. I hated Season 6 of RHOBH, and I want it to remain in the past.
This season, I want Eileen to call Lisa out for the NEW offensive shit that she ends up saying since that is inevitable. Let’s leave the past in the past.

Cynthia describes Matt’s overreaction to the TBT of Kenya on the set of a Jay-Z video “childish and immature,” explaining, “It was a throwback – part of her history, and before his time. There was nothing inappropriate about it.”
Later, when Cynthia got the phone call about Matt’s insanity, she admits to being “very concerned” about Kenya.

“I don’t ever like to hear any of my girlfriends crying and upset,” Cynthia writes in her Bravo blog. “Kenya is a very strong woman, so when she breaks down and cries about anything, it really upsets me.”
Speaking of her own dysfunctional soon-to-be-divorce from Peter Thomas, Cynthia was “not surprised” he chose to vent his frustrations to Wendy Williams. It all started over a misunderstanding during a Cynthia Bailey Eyewear and Cargo launch party when Cynthia confirmed their divorce was “moving forward.”
“We had already been separated for months, and that was the direction the relationship was going. I honestly didn’t think at that time that I was saying anything that wasn’t already out there or was breaking news,” Cynthia details. “Unfortunately, it ended up being the headliner for the article instead of my Cynthia Bailey Fashion Accessories. It was never my intention to hurt him. ”
“I knew he was upset,” acknowledges Cynthia. “I was just speaking my truth.”

I may just choose one fan question to ask during my interview.
We left off last week seeing not one, but two people get voted out – Will and Sunday – leaving us with just six left in the game. Jay was forced to play the game’s last remaining Immunity Idol at Tribal, even though it turned out that he didn’t need to. That leaves all six on equal footing, except for the fact that Ken possesses the mysterious “Legacy Advantage,” which will be revealed to us all tonight. You may remember, this new Survivor twist was found during the very first episode of the season, by Jessica, and she was given the ability to pass it along should she get voted out…and OK, even though she technically didn’t get voted out (damn that rock draw!), she left the game and willed the Legacy Advantage on to Ken.
It would seem that we are now left with three groups of two: You have Ken who is extremely loyal to David, you have Bret who will have no one else to turn to except Jay, and then you have Adam and Hannah in the middle. I think it’s clear that most people in the game and on the jury feel that Jay or David would be hands-down winners, and it’s unlikely that they would both reach the Final Three together…which is a possibility especially if Jay can run the table and win some Immunities down the stretch.
As I detailed last week, Hannah is in a unique position and, should she play her cards right and should the chips fall in the right direction for her, might be in the best position possible. Remember, that we are in the Survivor era of the “voting bloc,” so just because we think there are alliances going today, doesn’t mean those same alliances will be there tomorrow. Dare I bring back the phrase trust cluster?
That being said, I’ve gone ahead and mapped out the chances that I think each of the remaining players has to win the game…let’s start with least likely, to most likely. Oh and by the way, I know nothing of spoilers and I have no inside info…this is strictly my thoughts on how things may shake out:
Bret. Bret is the least likely player to win the game at this point, in my opinion, with Ken a close second. Bret’s main ally in the game, Sunday, is no more, and Bret finds himself in a tough spot. His only other ally would be Jay, and he is going to be Public Enemy #1…and should Jay lose Immunity and go home, Bret would be a sitting duck. Which, at this point in the game, may not be bad, because others could use Bret as a vote to get them to Final Three, and Bret would be a good person to take along for the ride, because he really has a weak resume. Sure, he has allies on the jury, but I don’t believe this group of sharp, cut-throat players would ever reward Bret as this season’s winner. I think the best Bret can hope for is a scenario where he is somehow sitting next to Ken and Hannah, and then can hopefully win by being the lesser of three evils.
Ken. Poor Ken has shown a few weaknesses over the past few weeks, but I know there is still a large group of people rooting for Ken. He does have the Legacy Advantage, and it’s unclear just how big a deal this might be. But short of that, Ken faces the same dilemma as Bret, just on the opposite side of the spectrum. Being allied with David, and David being one of the two biggest remaining threats, Ken will likely be all alone should David lose Immunity (which is very likely) and be targeted. Even if Ken is kept around as a vote and reaches Final Three, again, this jury would never allow a person like Ken to represent their season. His best hope is also something like Bret and Hannah, where maybe the jury decides to give it to a great guy instead of two players that currently don’t have much to hang their hats on.
David. I legitimately think David can win the game, but his biggest challenge will be reaching Final Three. His best bet is to have Jay lose tonight’s first Immunity Challenge, and then vote Jay out. The Legacy Advantage could be important for David, since his ally Ken is the one who is in possession of it. But I don’t see the others keeping David in the game until the end, which means that David’s path to victory will have to include one or several Immunity Challenge wins, which just doesn’t seem to be likely. I think David is a hands-down winner should he reach and sit next to any combination that doesn’t include Jay.
Jay. Jay is the front-runner in my mind, and should be everybody’s Number One target. If he loses Immunity, he needs to go. All the cards fell perfectly last week for the other players, with Jay wasting his Idol. But winning Immunity over Jay is easier said than done. Jay could go all Wigglesworth on everybody and win his way to the end. Should he reach Final Three, in any combination even including David, I think Jay wins Survivor. But can he win three more Immunity Challenges in a row?
Hannah. Oh Hannah! The game is yours for the taking! The million bucks is sitting there, waiting for you to grab it…are you going to take it?
As I detailed last week, Hannah is in a great position if the following can fall into place: If Jay doesn’t win Immunity, you vote him out first. If he does win, David goes home. Now you have either Bret or Ken with nowhere to turn, and if Hannah and Adam can use this person to then vote out Jay/David (whoever is remaining) or if this person wins Immunity AGAIN, you vote out the “other” player (Bret/Ken). Following me? Now you are down to four, with Adam, Hannah, either Bret/Ken, and either Jay/David. A perfect scenario for Hannah is that David and Jay go as the first two. If Hannah could then win final Immunity, or just get to the Final Three, she would have a compelling argument that, down the stretch, she was responsible for getting rid of Sunday, Jay and David, the latter of which are the game’s two toughest competitors. Cut Adam out at the last minute? That would be another way to boost the resume, but even alongside Adam and either Bret/Ken, I think Hannah has a legitimate shot at winning the game. If she’s not actively involved with who goes home at each Tribal tonight though, Hannah will be seen more as a goat than a hero. I’m rooting for you Hannah!
Adam. Lost in all of this is Adam, who in my opinion is realistically in the best shape to win it all. I add to this that, from Episode 1, I felt like he had the air of a winner’s edit, and his story has been nothing short of emotionally powerful. David and Jay will likely be so focused on one another that I doubt Adam would be the immediate target, especially from Jay who has shown that he likes Adam as a person. As Jay and David gun for one another, Adam will slip through, and then slip through again, and will find himself at Final Four. If he can shed Hannah at that point, I think he wins in a landslide along Ken and Bret. Even up against David, I think Adam has votes enough to possibly win. Only Jay poses a threat, but if Adam was against Jay and another strong player who could get votes, like David, then it would be anybody’s game. Can an Adam, David, Jay finale three actually happen? Only in my fantasies. But my pick to win at this point going into Finale is Adam Klein.
Be sure to come back tonight for my recap of the finale. We’ll also talk about the Live Reunion Show. I for one can’t wait…I’ll see you on the other side.

Things are getting rough for Kenya Moore this season on Real Housewives of Atlanta. Her confrontation with Matt Jordan in the last episode was hard to watch. It definitely got out of hand and both parties engaged in some he said, she said drama on social media. Kenya recently opened up about her current relationship status and that tough scene.
Sadly, the situation is getting even uglier, and I can’t see it dying down any time soon. After all, this is only the beginning of the season and it seems like there’s even more issues between the two in the present day. It’s unclear if Kenya and Matt are still a couple.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
Aside from battling out for the last word on social media with Matt, Kenya opened up about that confrontation in an interview with Bravo.
Kenya described her thoughts during the fight with Matt by saying, “I was tired. Tired of constantly fighting over the petty things he initiates with self-sabotaging behavior that escalates to violent behavior.”
I don’t blame her, but it’s also kind of confusing since just recently Kenya was talking about doing what she could to work things out with Matt. Hopefully, seeing the incident on RHOA finally helped her come to the realization that she needs to leave this toxicity in the past.

Kenya said that she was surprised by by how the confrontation was depicted on the show, “I was shocked Bravo broke the fourth wall and showed me talking to my producer off camera. You can’t fake those moments. It was a very emotionally draining day.” Kenya also emphasized, “There is NEVER an excuse for violence.”
The big question now is what is Kenya relationship status with Matt these days. Well, if you’ve seen any of their social media accounts, you know that as of today, the two are not on good terms. After talking about Matt’s recent claim in the media, Kenya admitted, “I have done a lot of things in my life I am ashamed of, but I am most ashamed at myself for staying with this man and for letting down the women and young girls that look up to me. It doesn’t compare to the inner struggle I have had with myself.”
Kenya added, “Thank you for all your well wishes, prayers, and love. To the women who are in relationships where they feel afraid, threatened, or intimidated on any level at any time, leave and never look back.” Wow. This is very sad to hear no matter what you think of Kenya. Hopefully, she has really learned a lesson and is moving forward and past this relationship for good.

It's Lenny vs. a Lyon! Empire fans, prepare for your new obsession: Star, Lee Daniels' new musical drama that will debut tonight at 9 p.m. after Empire's midseason finale,...
On last night’s Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, one lady celebrated a monumental birthday, while another celebrated administering a monumental dose of comeuppance with the touch of her bejeweled-gloved fingers.
While Lisa Vanderpump is stewing in the juices of last season’s arguments, Kyle Richards is cruising around in a Lamborghini with Lisa Rinna. Look at Kyle, just gloating on air like the revolution of a Lambo’s wheels, so happy is she to be the appointed so-called peace-maker. Under Kyle’s caftan is a haven of support and unconditional gossip.

Kyle is already annoying me. I can’t stand when she pretends to play ‘mediator’ – she’s really just using other people’s issues to get attention and be in the middle of drama so she feels important. Inevitably, Kyle will botch this re-friendship situation, then turn it all into how no one supported her when she was there for them and make it all about herself. Kyle should just let someone like Erika Girardi – someone with more aplomb and smarts and less need for lavished praise = occupy the mediator role, while she sits there and makes goofy jokes. Kyle is at her best when she plays the Family Guy character who invaded RHOBH.
The funniest thing that came out of Kyle and Lipsa’s car ride to a row, row, your mouth exercise class was Lipsa admitting that when she input Dorit Kemsley into her iPhone, it got auto-corrected to “Dorito.” I too have been afflicted with that problem, and Dorit is filled with cheese crunch and possesses a rather fake-flavored accent, so perhaps it isn’t all that far from truth?
Well, someone loves Dorit Of Dorito-land just as she is, and that would be her husband PK. Sometimes one really does find their soulmate in a bar over banter – which is the British word for “small talk” (yes, I know PK was being facetious). Dorit is turning 40, which requires something all Real Housewives everywhere love above all else: a giant, expensive, silly-themed party all about them! For this one, PK is keeping Dorit in the dark and won’t let her be involved in any of the planning.
Honestly, though, what do you get the woman who has everything? What do you get the woman who never goes within 5 miles of her own house? Other than Challa bread, you get her a $230,000 Bentley the color of over-egged Challa that she almost crashes in her own driveway. Whew, Dorit dodged a bullet! She almost got stuck with a “Tiffany blue Maserati” – how embarrassing!
What do you get the other woman who has everything, including mini horses? Well, a full-fledged horse she can ride on, of course! LVP has now added to her menagerie a horse named His Royal Highness, Prince Tardon, specifically for her to ride atop and cast her imperial glances down upon the rest of us. Never a seat in the saddle of battle was so comfortably occupied. Even by Napoleon!
The horse, like Lisa’s conscious, is snow-white and of a rare breed of unimpeachable lineage. After dismounting from her trot ’round the ring, she murmurs to Ken, ever-present ego-guard, that she knows Dorit is too good of a friend to ever talk shit about her. Well that sounds like a healthy dose of foreshadowing.
In Erika Jayne land, T-shirts are the new dresses, and dancers are multiplying their legs into splits, because it’s time for a NEW ERICA JAYNE video. You know you’ve been waiting on bated breath…
Why does Erika have an entourage and enterprise as if she’s Beyonce? Sure, she’s got a kitschy kind of talent, but she’s no musical superstar, except in her own mind, and perhaps Eileen Davidson‘s and Tom’s. I swear, Don’t Be Tardy For The Party is more popular on iTunes (and Kim Zolciak hasn’t left her dressing room mirror since 2012.)
Anyway, the latest video requires dancers with butts who can do splits in a bathing suit. Mikey, Erika’s what is he – like Oversee-er of the VaJayneJay? – is leading the casting and informs Erika that she too will need to do a drop split in a bikini. This makes Erika so sick with anxiety she goes home to vomit for two days, and ends up so disoriented she gifts Dorit a Chanel purse Erika herself has been lusting after. Is that also why she also forgot to wear pants to Dorit’s party?

Well, Eileen has momentarily – I said momentarily! – stopped reminiscing about the apology LVP owes her in order to reminisce about her many years on Y&R. A part of me still loves Eileen – she’s got a certain, um, innate sophistication. That said, I hate the super white-blonde highlights. They are to Eileen’s head what Vinnie’s jeans are to Dorit’s birthday party. I also hate that try as she pretends she might, Eileen (like LVP) finds it impossible to simply move. on.
At Lipsa’s house, her daughter makes spaghetti with zucchini and they all eat like 2 bites before talking about Cindy Crawford giving Delilah modeling advice. This makes Amelia sulky – she wants to model, too. We also learn Lipsa grew up eating tater-tots, spam, and TV dinners – which explains a lot about her level of fakery!
On the bright side, Lipsa has decided she is completely over any drama with LVP. In this sentiment I feel Lipsa is genuine. She doesn’t like conflict – at least not with real friends – and she did genuinely enjoy her relationship with Lisa. So Lipsa realizes it’s better to open her lips good and wide to eat crow, or whatever it is LVP will put on the menu at SUR for this display of subSURviance. Just hope it’s not Jax Taylor, naked, on a platter!
Now it’s time for Dorito to add an extra layer of flavor by celebrating her birthday. Dorit doesn’t trust PK with her party because he’s usually very blasé with the details. For a woman accustomed to micromanaging, this is causing her nose to run with anxiety. She also barks at her hairdresser that he’s over-touching her hair, like it’s Kim Richards’ chicken salad or something!
Luckily, PK has other tricks up his sleeves, though. The evening starts out as your classic overly-stuffy cocktail party in what was once the great divorce room of J.Lo and Marc Anthony. Now, you know Kyle is going to be sidling up to Dorit extra-hard just in case she’d ever like to list this highly pedigreed (but dull as stucco) mansion. Just in case the fumes of an unhappy marriage haven’t been saged out enough to satisfy the current owners and are now ever-so-slightly haunting… Just in case!
Anyway, for a man light on details PK has pulled out all the stops – even hiring mini Hummer golf carts to ferry guests from the bottom of the driveway (where valet takes their car) to the front door. This proves to be even too much walking LVP and her hella impractical heels. That was quite a look, right? Somewhat Elvira-ish, made for statement bitchiness glamour with those giant be-blinged gloves Erika was probably salivating over; and that choker – which I’m sure doubled as taser or a tranquilizer capsule holder, or a hypnotic stun-gun to neutralize and manipulate her enemies. Well it sure worked on Lipsa, who balefully accepted all of LVP’s snarking with good-natured flippancy. It was total ‘fake it til you make it’, but that’s Lipsa’s general operating mode and it was the right track to take.
Apparently this party had a red or black dress code? But then Erika arrived wearing a T-shirt with heels. It may have been a designer t-shirt but it was still ugly as sin – and it also sinned in violating Dorit’s carefully-crafted dress code. The lace on Dorit’s gown stiffened as she tried to brush off Erika’s disorderly conduct, but you could see it festering inside Dorit in a way that couldn’t be smoothed over even with Chanel + gift receipt! Erika is drinking only water because she’s ill. Maybe she rolled out of bed in her sleep shirt and slapped on some heels, before running out the door? The worst part is those boxy tunic-styles just aren’t flattering on her – she’s too curvy and they make her look dumpy.
Eileen radiated in red, and Kyle wore something predictably unflattering. Signifying that they’ll patch things up that night, the Lisas both wore black jumpsuits.

Eileen and LVP experience an awkward moment that was one for the soaps. LVP approaches Eileen and they rather slyly quasi-interrogate each other, country-club kindness style, and then LVP says, “I’m sorry…” causing Eileen to reel back slightly, with surprise, until LVP continues explaining she’s sorry Eileen’s mom passed. NOT for anything else.
Eileen stumbles the recovery and admits [to us] that she actually thought – for one inopportune minute – that LVP was apologizing for the affair drama of last season. Eileen – don’t even start that again! Don’t. Even. Start. Later Eileen jokingly confesses her gaffe to LVP, who will smirk that even if hell froze over, she wouldn’t apologize for that.
For Kyle, this tepid conversation between LVP and Eileen, however stilted and slimy, is still real progress! She’s super impressed at how well they’re getting along. Apparently Kyle is treating the many fractures of her friend group like a mom cheering on her little kid’s soccer game: giving lots of positive feedback and helpful tips in a fake supportive way, clapping overly-enthusiastically from the side-lines, silently holding her breath while her eyes ping-pong back and forth, and murmuring to the other parents about close-calls and good plays and the other team’s bad ref. Real Micro-Mom-Agers of Beverly Hills!
At first Dorit is less-than wowed by PK’s party, because Hummer golf cart taxis aren’t enough. Unless you’re Lipsa who is impressed and notes, “These people have some money.” That they do – I wonder how they get it? An underground smuggling operation of Boy George‘s used eyeliner tubes? Sold exclusively to Kyle?
Then PK unveils the real party. He’s coverted the entire backyard into a lounge – everything shrouded in red and black, with sushi, ice sculptures, a dance floor, and a rather wonky close-up painting of Dorit’s face on what looked like a giant bath towel. She complains about it until PK informs her that Boy George painted it, so she swallows her gripes with a gulp of champs. Oops!
While everyone is bee-bopping around and eating lots of sushi to make up for Erika starving them at her party, Lipsa pulls LVP onto the dance floor and announces that it’s time to be friends again, so none of LVP’s turning those crystal gloves into pointed barbs and jabs is going to deter her. Lipsa proves sincerity by apologizing for being a shitty friend last season and she doesn’t even expect an apology in return! Instantly, LVP decides they’re good again.
With Eileen on the other hand – not so much! While Erika is lecturing PK on how Americans aren’t stupid, LVP is wielding that spicy British humor. Or so she says… When Eileen can’t find Vinnie (Look for the only guy wearing dad jeans with a blazer!), Lisa casually adjusts her opera-length gloves and wryly suggests that she may have seen him with his head up another woman’s skirt. Then she just let’s it hang there for a second too long before insisting that she’s joking. This is what makes LVP a professional HW and a genuinely riveting member of the reality TV community.
Eileen, armored with decades of professional soap experience, and one season of LVP operating experience, grimaces, laughs, then walks away. I imagine her chanting to herself: “I will not let this get to me… I will not let this get to me… I will not let this get to me… It’s fine… I will just laugh until I convince myself that LVP is just trying to unsettle me… I will just keep my distance but be polite… ”
Now LVP knows full-well if she made that joke to Dorit, Kyle, or even Erika, it would be just a saucy comment with no double-meaning; she also knew full-well that this comment aimed at Eileen was meant to be mean. I fully agree LVP should tread with caution in regards to these women, but she could show a little more grace.
Eileen just kept dancing the sting away. Just dancing, dancing… When Kyle approached specifically to ask Lipsa and Eileen how things were going with LVP, Eileen repeated the comment while erratically swinging her arms and swaying to the beat. As Lipsa and Kyle registered their shock over LVP’s audacity, Eileen still danced (probably imagining herself Erika Jayne – so girded by corsets, sexy clothes, sycophantic ‘gays’, and don’t give a f–k attitudes that she’s untouchable).
So, tsk, tsk, Kyle – consider yourself warned that LVP will take no prisoners!
