Don't know how your day is going, but Connie Britton and Ryan Murphy are having a pretty great one and we just had to let you in on the feeling. Not only did their new Fox drama 9-1-1...
In last week’s Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, we learned that Dorit Kemsley has Hermes dinnerware, can cook a mean Moroccan stew, and is definitely not over her beef with Lisa Rinna. Despite having called a truce atop a ferris wheel in Las Vegas, Dorit and Paul (PK) Kemsley’s resentment toward Rinna for accusing their party guests of “doing coke in the bathroom” is not yesterday’s news.
First, Dorit reflects on the strange moments that occurred at her Villa Blanca birthday party, including her son Jagger pointing out the “bad guys” at the table – and Rinna giving an impromptu speech! “Jagger calling Erika [Girardi] and Lisa [Vanderpump] ‘bad guys’ was nothing short of an innocent 3-year-old expressing himself through his imagination, as he was in a phase where he loved superheroes and bad guys. On another note, can we talk about Lisa R standing up and giving a speech at my birthday party? For a second, I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone, but after all I’m grateful that we’re in a more peaceful place now.”
Dorit says she was excited to see Teddi Jo Mellencamp Arroyave ride horses, even if she was ridiculously overdressed for the occasion. She jokes, “When Teddi invited us to her horse competition in San Diego, I couldn’t wait to see her ride and, of course, to take advantage of a fierce Kentucky Derby fashion moment. As soon as we stepped on the dirt, though, I knew Lisa R was right to roll up wearing jeans and cowboy boots. I had no idea a ‘VIP area’ meant we’d be sitting on a picnic table with a blanket thrown over it! Oh well. I still love a chance to dress up.”
Even though she was given some major viewer side eye for allegedly cooking at her own dinner party, Dorit claims that she loves to cook – and has the video evidence to prove it! She explains in her blog, “I love to cook! I grew up watching my mom express her love through food, and I followed in her footsteps. I’m very particular about my table settings, and I believe no dinner party is complete without a divine dinnerware set, like the one I splurged on!”

“I wanted to have a one-on-one dinner with Teddi and Edwin because I’m excited for PK and I to get to know them better,” continues Dorit. “From what I’ve heard Teddi say about her childhood, she’s very humble and down to earth, and those are rare qualities to come by in this town.” Yes, rare indeed. Also rare: British accents on a girls from Connecticut. #JustAThought
But Teddi and Edwin had no idea that Dorit and PK were going to unleash a litany of complaints and accusations against Rinna, who they are obviously still upset with. Dorit justifies their behavior, “Over dinner, I felt comfortable opening up to Teddi about my tribulations with Lisa R. Teddi was clueless as to what transpired between us, and I was merely explaining why I feel I should be cautious as Lisa R and I enter this new phase of our relationship. Still, I’m going into it with an open mind and an optimistic outlook.”
Well, optimistic or not, Teddi doesn’t seem like the type of gal to soldier up just because a scorned Housewife tells her to. Dorit better slow her roll with that one.
Tonight on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: “Lisa Rinna and Erika fly to Tokyo to support Amelia and Delilah‘s latest modeling gig; Dorit agrees to model for Lisa Vanderpump’s magazine; and when the power goes out at Kyle‘s dinner party, the darkness brings out the worst in one housewife.”

This week’s episode of Real Housewives Of Atlanta was quite an eye-opener for Cynthia Bailey after her mother opened up in a domestic violence PSA about the abuse she suffered from Cynthia’s father.
Cynthia admits to being both “sad and proud” of her mom’s testimonial, but was ultimately glad that Kenya Moore encouraged her mother to participate.
“My mother has never really openly talked in detail about her domestic issues regarding her past relationships with me and my siblings,” explains Cynthia. “Actually, I was surprised when she told me that she wanted to do it, and honestly at the last minute she wanted to back out because she was worried about what her friends and family would say. I know that it was extremely difficult for my mother to address this part of her life publicly and allow her voice to be heard in Kenya’s PSA.”
Cynthia gushed that the entire PSA was a positive experience for all the women. “I always enjoy coming together for good and not evil, LOL! Although we all have our individual power, we are so much more powerful together.”
Cynthia also hopes that after sharing her story her mom will “not only empower other victims of domestic abuse to standup, but also finally be able to heal herself and get the closure she needs to move on with her life.”
The PSA shoot was all the more encouraging because, despite their animosity, NeNe Leakes and Posha Williams managed to put aside their differences for the larger cause. Reflecting on Marlo’s attempt at a reconciliation tea, Cynthia says, “I was happy to be invited to try to help, because I believe that the ladies can move past their issues.”
“As long as there is mutual respect for each other, you don’t have to be friends to be cordial,” Cynthia writes in her Bravo Blog. “I feel that holding on to anger and resentment for too long is exhausting and just not worth it. You end up giving that person way too much power over your emotions.”
Nice sentiment Cynthia, but I have a feeling this feud is going to stay in ‘the petty’ for a long, long time. Or perhaps I’m wrong and the PSA will inspire them to focus on the bigger picture, and move on?
