Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Alum Kim Richards Will Publish Memoir In April; Says She Is “Unafraid And Unapologetic”

Kim Richards

Kim Richards

Kim Richards is the former Housewife who keeps popping up like the Energizer Bunny. Not the gifted stuffed bunny that she refused to accept from Lisa Rinna for her grandson, however. Kim has reportedly filmed for season 10 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, so it is a safe bet we will see her on when the show returns.

We all know Kim has led a life of drama, which has often been showcased on RHOBH. Issues with alcohol and a few run-ins with the law are just the tip of the iceberg for Kim. The ugly feuds with her sister Kyle Richards were a major storyline when Kim was a Housewife. Last fall, it was announced that Kim was writing her autobiography, which always seems fitting for a former child star. Now, more information is coming out about the book–and it doesn’t look like Kim is holding anything back.

Kim’s new memoir, The Whole Truth: The Reality of It All, will be released on April 28th. Us Weekly reported a statement about her book that Kim made through Harper Collins Publishers. She declared, “I’ve come to learn that holding onto secrets is like holding your breath. Finally, I feel strong enough to speak my truth. I am unafraid and unapologetic. I am ready.”

Yes, Kim may be ready to speak her truth, but is Kyle? How about Lisa and Harry Hamlin? Will we learn the truth about the alleged dirt Kim alluded to about Harry in Amsterdam?

 

RELALTED: Lisa Rinna’s Daughter Is Dating One Of Kim Richards’ Relatives

 

The Harper Collins statement goes on to describe Kim’s book, revealing, “The Whole Truth is the harrowing, all-too-real and ultimately empowering story of a woman who has been through hell and back, endured, grew strong and learned to become her own fiercest advocate.”

Certainly, Kim has had a difficult life. From child stardom to a fiancé who was murdered while she was talking on the phone with him, Kim has been through the wringer. Often of her own making, it could be said.

 

RELALTED: Vanderpump Dogs Gala Photos- Lisa Vanderpump, Kim Richards, Shannon Beador, Ariana Madix, & More!

 

So far, the book sounds like it might be like other celebrity memoirs. But the Harper Collins statement gets a little more interesting. It goes on to promote Kim’s book as, “The soul-baring confession of a woman revealing what it was like to be treated like a show pony as a child star, as a disposable object as a wife, a whipping post as a sister and as a tabloid commodity as a celebrity.”

Take a guess as to which part of that statement will cause a huge dust up with Kyle! Yes, “a whipping post as a sister” is probably not going to go down well in the Umansky household, considering Kyle’s often contentious relationship with Kim. I doubt that the sharply-pointed dig is directed towards Kathy Hilton.

 

RELALTED: Kim Richards “Never Really Liked” Camille Grammer’s Ex Kelsey Grammer

 

Don’t fret that Kim’s book will be all doom and gloom, however. The Harper Collins statement goes on to tease, “But above all else, it is a triumphant tale of a determined woman who refused to be broken — a fierce, loving and relatable human who is strong, flawed and real.” The memoir is further described as, “unvarnished, painful and authentic.”

OK, I am reserving my copy now. If Kim is completely honest in the book as stated, her autobiography will be a page turner. I want to know all about notorious stage mama Big Kathy, Kim’s marriage into a billionaire family, how she really feels about her arrests–and what it is like to be a “whipping post as a sister.”

Jax Taylor Regrets Having Tom Sandoval In His Wedding; Says Tom Did “Some Below The Belt” Things This Season

Vanderpump-Rules-Jax-Taylor

Vanderpump-Rules-Jax-Taylor

The Jax Taylor and Tom Sandoval feud is still going strong. Tom ended up serving as one of the best men in Jax’s wedding after Jax demoted him, but they’re clearly not on good terms these days.

And I’m sure it doesn’t help that Jax has been talking shit about Tom’s girlfriend, Ariana Madix, in interviews and on social media.

Jax and his wife Brittany Cartwright reflected on their wedding in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight. Jax confessed, “I did change my mind and allow him to not only come to the wedding, but to be in my wedding and do I regret that, yes.”

Jax also capitalized on major buzz word in reality TV (and in general): “bullied.” Don’t get me wrong, bullying is very much a real thing, but I don’t feel like some of these reality stars use it correctly. Nevertheless, Jax said, “I just wish I would’ve stood by what I said. I felt I was a little bit bullied into bringing him back in.” And was he “bullied” by production who wanted the highest tensions possible at that wedding? Or Sandoval himself?

 

RELATED: Ariana Madix Says Jax Taylor Is A Bullsh*tter, A Liar, & A Propagandist And Tom Sandoval Is A Really, Sweet Awesome Friend That Cares About People”

 

Then, Jax teased what we can expect from this feud for the rest of the season. He claimed, “There’s some things he did during this season that haven’t played out yet that were just uncalled for, absolutely uncalled for — below the belt, should never, ever happen to a friend — and I made my decision that I did not want him there. I don’t want to give it away but it’s really uncalled for.” I cannot wait to see what he’s referring to. But, this might actually be a legitimate grip since Brittany actually yes “f*ck off” at Sandoval at some point this season.

The Miami Drama Continues Tonight On Vanderpump Rules

James Kennedy

James Kennedy

The bachelor/bachelorette party “fun” continues tonight on Vanderpump Rules; i.e. the cast will continue to get drunk and argue in Miami.

The guys dress up as old men because, well, Tom Sandoval coordinated this party and it’s hilarious.

Kristen Doute reminds Katie Maloney that she was there when Tom Schwartz was “f*cking around on her for years.” DAMN, Kristen. She really went there. And, of course, Stassi Schroeder is there to back up Katie in this ongoing/annoying feud.

And, of course, all three of them continue to talk sh*t about each other. Wow, what a fun vacation! I’m so jealous I wasn’t there. Even Brittany Cartwright complains that she’s “getting tired” of this feud.

Back in West Hollywood, Lisa Vanderpump is preparing to celebrate PRIDE at her restaurants. James Kennedy FINALLY returns (or at least he’s mentioned), and once again, he’s begging Lisa to let him DJ for a major event. He’s hoping to spin at TomTom for the pride event.

Meanwhile, manager Danica Dow “warns” Dayna Kathan that Max Boyens is a womanizer and tells her some story about how he hooked up with her friend, led her on, and ghosted her. Is that a surprise? I don’t think Dayna is shocked by that revelation. Also lol at Danica pretending she actually cares about Dayna all of a sudden. We all see right through this, girl.

Tom Girardi & Erika Jayne Slam $3 Milion Lawsuit As A “Publicity Stunt”; Want Lawsuit Removed From Public Eye

Tom Girardi & Erika Jayne Slam $3 Milion Lawsuit As A “Publicity Stunt”

Another day, another legal issue among the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast members. As you may recall, Erika Jayne and her husband Tom Girardi are facing a $3 million lawsuit over an unpaid loan.

The latest? Mr. and Mrs. Girardi have fired back with legal documents of their own.

According to legal documents obtained by the website The Blast, The couple failed to pay back a $5 million loan and owe $3 million to Stillwell Madison. This guy accused them of failing to pay back the loan to “fund their lavish lifestyle” instead.

In the document, Erika and Tom state, “The current action was filed as a publicity stunt. Plaintiff filed in federal court using such highly charged language as ‘lavish lifestyle’ and ‘glamorous public image’ with the goal to try to use the Court system as a publicity campaign.” Maybe the guy just “allegedly” wants his money back, which would make sense.

 

RELATED: Erika Jayne’s Husband Tom Girardi Denies Claim He Owes A $40,000 Bill

 

Erika and Tom want the lawsuit to be removed from the public eye; i.e. away from the public court records and into arbitration. The couple also claimed that the contract with the lender stated that any disputes should be handled with arbitration instead of federal court.

Now, we are just waiting on a judge to make a ruling. It really is “XXPEN$IVE” to be Erika Jayne (and Tom Girardi).

Report: Elizabeth Lyn Vargas Is Joining Real Housewives Of Orange County

Elizabeth Lyn Vargas

Elizabeth Lyn Vargas

Fans are wondering who will join Real Housewives of Orange County after the news broke that Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge are done with the show. Since nothing else has been announced, it’s safe to assume that Shannon Beador, Kelly Dodd, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, aand Braunwyn Windham-Burke will be back for Season 15. Nevertheless, it’s unclear if they’ll be full-time or if they’ll get demoted to a part-time role, like Vicki was for Season 14.

Most likely, nothing will be “officially” confirmed until Season 15 has finished filming and the network is gearing up to promote the show, but there is one name floating around about a possible new cast member.

According to the website TV Deets, Elizabeth Lyn Vargas is the show’s newest Housewife. No, I’m not referring to the Elizabeth Vargas, the A&E reporter and documentary anchor.

TV Deets reports that Elizabeth is good friends with Kelly and she is the Founder/CEO of Edge Music, which is a streaming service and digital music label. The site also shared that Elizabeth is in the middle of divorcing Bernt Bodal, so he will most likely not appear on the show. Then again, we have seen Margaret Josephs’ ex-husband Jan and Dolores Catania’s ex-husband Frank Catania on Real Housewives of New Jersey many times.

 

RELATED: Vicki Gunvalson Denies Trying To Turn Emily Simpson Against Kelly Dodd; Emily Jokes About Vicki Getting Fired From Real Housewives Of Orange County

 

Apparently, Elizabeth has already started filming aand she recently attended Braunwyn’s birthday. Elizabeth is following all of the RHOC cast members on Instagram. Kelly, Emily, and Braunwyn have followed her back. Meanwhile, Gina and Shannon have not, which is no surprise since Shannon has never prided herself on being a member of the RHOC welcome committee and Gina didn’t really give Braunwyn a shot last season.

An insider told TV Deets, “Elizabeth is wild! She is bold, charismatic, and so open.” That sounds promising, yet vague. The website also pointed out that Kelly tweeted, “How is everyone’s week going?” a few days ago. In response, Elizabeth tweeted, “AMAZING” with a winking face emoji and some raised hand emojis. Could that be a hint that Elizabeth joined the show? Or is she simply having an amazing week?
