So pleased that Kim has gone to Rehab. Let's hope she lasts longer than her last stint, a week. You'd have to be blind to think she was OK. I really dont think the new man will turn out to be the knight in shining armour and Kyle is toxic. Those two need to stay away from each other until Kim learns to make her own decisions and not rely so heavily on Kyle and Mauricio ( who I find it easy to believe has been financially helping her out).

Caroline and Jaqueline are getting dropped from NJ after Season 4. Pity. Caroline's brand of down to earthness was a welcome relief after the histrionics of the Gi's and Go's. (The feud is back on No cosy Xmas for the two Joes or those bezzy mates Teresa and Melissa.!!)

Oh and Jo Guidice has yet again been accused of having an affair. I'd be sorely tempted if I was married to Tre, but he does have 4 daughters who'll read all this one day. I think he's a sleazeball though. Could you imagine getting down and dirty with him? UGH. brain bleach please.

I think between us we're doing an admirable job of getting all the latest goss. Keep it up folks!

We are doing well keeping up with the Goss arent we?! Agreed, lets keep it up!

Also, kimkam, thanks for putting up that article about Peggy & her exit Yeah, I think it seems pretty believable aswell. I can deff understand why she left, shame though, I didnt mind her, & she really did rub Alexis up the wrong way, & thats no bad thing hahaha


O God tally, take that back! That mental image has just given me a waking nightmare! hahaha Hes utterly awful, really a horrible man, who would go there with him?! Though, did you hear, he apparently took this "female friend" to TGI Fridays for their date?! Juicy Joe, he cetainly knows how to wine & dine a girl! Mind you, given the state of their creative accounts, thats propably him pushing the boat out!

I do find Albie quite cute though......?! I dont know, just something hahaha And, Phaedras hubby in Atlanta isnt so bad, again, I dont know what it is about him......? anyways......

Ill certainly miss Caroline and Jacqueline after season 4 of NJ, mind you, not a surprise I guess, Jacqueline apprently made it clear that she was gone after whatever incident took place with Tre during filming. And apparently its been increasingly difficult to get any of them to film with Tre now.......how to win friends & influence people huh?!

Did anyone see the latest Atlanta yet? I wonder how long itll be before Cynthia writes her hubby a cheque for that bar, surely its only a matter of time? I think his protests were a little bit for show. And Nene, co-host who turned up with 5mins of the party left, I get that Cynthia is her little puppy dog, but come on!

Also, Im sure I read somewhere that during filming there were quite a few ructions between Nene & that Marlo woman.....should be fun.....I find it hilarious when Nene gets all ghetto!

It's no good, I really cant get with Atlanta. ( I'll still watch it though). I just cant relate to any of them which means it's my least favourite until Miami returns..

What a different Sheree we saw this week. For someone who's so full of herself and entitled she crumbled into a massive mess when faced with the ex! SUE HIS ASS OFF FOR CHILD SUPPORT, you idiot. I cant believe she's not pursued it for 4 years. Never mind, Phaedra will have him down the County Hall and a supoena delivered before you can blink. Reggie, who
I've vaguely heard of in the days when he was playing is so the sort to blow a fortune. All his brains have moved south and the only intelligence he had was on the footall pitch. I'd like to see him working double shifts in MacDonalds, just to send a pittance for his kids.

Cynthia, there are warning bells clanging so loudly I'm surprised you're not deaf. Just what does she see in Peter. He screams scam artist and this latest venture is as bad, if not worse, than the last. Hell would freeze over before I'd lend him money. You just know it's all going to end in tears. That prenup needs to e strictly enforced.

Not much Diva Nene this week, way to go, arriving for your your cohosting with 5 minutes to go, still playing the great "I am". They've all changed since they became famous, it's just Nene takes it to another level.

I cant believe I'm saying it but Kim was quite sweet with Brielle yesterday. I wonder if she's seen her bridesmaids dress yet. Mommy darling has NO taste.

I meant to mention about Sheree in my post last night. So true. I was surprised how differently she acted around that ex of hers.

I know she had mentioned in the past about him not paying child support, but 4 YEARS! Come on! Get thee to a judge Sheree. Its all very well saying "but hes the father of my kids" If the father of your kids is a deadbeat loser who wont pay his way then you gotta go to court. Thankfully she has the fabulous Phaedra to do her thing now, she would demolish him in front of a judge!

Id have had his ass tossed in jail first chance I could get, but thats just me!

Also, I must give a special mention to Lawrence, who totters around in his heels higher than all the other ladies, & WORKS it!

Theres a piece in this weeks National Enquirer about Ne Ne?? I havent seen Atlanta. Seems shes demanding her own series and her own makeup artist and lots of other things lol.

Cant seem to get on the site but just noticed NeNe surname
Nene Leakes

Does anyone else think its hysterical ...I can just hear my mam saying after a coughing fit...ohhh my ne ne leakes

Good news I hope, Jill might be coming back to RHNY.


The Real Housewives of New York City visited Miami this weekend as filming continues on their 5th season!

Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan were pictured showing off their bikini bodies at their hotel. Above is a shot of Ramona, 54, as she donned a high-cut one piece.

Below are more shots of Ramona as well as Sonja, 48, who opted for a red bikini! Also pictured is new housewife Aviva Drescher. More bikini shots of the ladies are below!

CLICK HERE TO MEET THE THREE NEW RHONY HOUSEWIVES!

Also over the weekend, Huffington Post gossip columnist Rob Shuter, who first broke the news about the RHONY firings back in September, revealed filming is NOT going well on the new season. Apparently there is a lack of drama and Bravo is expected to make some more casting changes! Ai ya ya.

Rob tweeted: “Sad to fear filming on #RHONY not going well. Ladies have travelled to London and Miami to spice it up. Expect more cast changes!”

Indeed, this Miami trip is the second for the housewives as they just took a trip to London not too long ago without Ramona. I can’t say I’m really surprised to hear this news as I stated back in September that getting rid of Jill Zarin was a bad idea. As much as I’m not a fan of Jill, she is equivalent to a Nene Leakes and makes for good TV drama.

I believe getting rid of Kelly Bensimon and Cindy Barshop, while leaving Jill and Alex McCord on the cast and adding 2 to 3 new cast members would have done the trick. While I definitely agree the last season and the reunion got overly nasty and downright ugly, I think Bravo’s firings were a bit too drastic.

Andy Cohen stated back then that the firings were simply giving fans what they wanted. “In the end we listened to the fans, who expressed a desire for new stories and a major change in a direction,” said Andy. But will the fans continue to tune in without enough drama is now the question.

The Huffington Post is also reporting today that Bravo has yet to ask any of the fired housewives to return though the network did discuss having Alex make appearances on the new season right after she was fired. However, Alex reveals she declined Bravo’s offer.

“Before filming began, Bravo and I discussed me making cameos throughout the fifth season,” Alex reveals. “Eventually, I decided against it. I didn’t want to be the backup if things didn’t work out with any of the new girls.” A bit surprised but good for Alex!

Sorry about the long post, I can't do links
Its all about the drama in NY

I agree with that, I have just done catch up (well behind I know) and have just watched the reunion, OMG what a cat fight that was, all of them came over as bitches, nasty stuff.

Kelly makes my skin crawl, she really is one weird woman, how could anyone engage in any sort of normal comversation with her? Her comment about being voted top 5 nicest person omg ? Cindy was out of her depth and really didn't give us anything, she was too 'normal' for the show.

Jill and Alex should come back, Alex is weird and confusing and she comes with Simon who continually provides some sorta interest. Sometimes I warm to Jill then she will say or do something wrong, she is an interesting character.

Also been watching Bethenny gets married, was bored at first but must admit to feeling for her when she said that none of her family would be at her wedding. Its all a bit shallow, but watchable. I wish she was still on the main show.

They should have left it the way it was. Bethenny has a talk show that none of the networks want to touch, she has lost a lot of weight. I think quite a few of them are in financial trouble, and I thought they all had fantastic lives a few series back

Bethany couldnt get any thinner ? Money trouble? do tell, surely not Bethany I thought she was a multi millionaire with the Skinny Girl brand. Obviously Sonja is bankrupt and I read that Alex and Simon are desperate to get back on the show, but what about Jill, Ramona, Kelly and LuAnn surely they are all still wealthy women ?

I just finished watching RHOBH "Malibu beach party from hell" episode. Just when you thought Taylor couldn't get any more bizarre, out she comes with another set of strange behaviours. I actually felt quite sorry for Brandi throughout, especially when Kyle was taking the piss about her erect nipples. Kyle has shown her true colours of being a bully this season and it makes me believe what Camille said last year to be true now. Camille has turned it completely around and seems like the sane one of the group (along with Lisa obviously) but the way they have edited Lisa this season seems to show her in a bad light and I know this is not how she is in reality. Taylor's obsession with Lisa just stems from insecurity and I quite admire Lisa for saying flat out that there were too many flaws in what Taylor was saying for it to be the truth, therefore she cannot be friends with her because she expects the truth from her friends.
I am very conscious of the fact that all of this occurred just before Armstrong took his life and at times you just think Taylor is far to fragile to go through what is about to come up in her life and it's very uncomfortable to watch. Compelling at the same time though. If I were Taylor I would have taken up Lisa's offer of staying with her in the mansion to recoup and heal. Something Taylor has needed for some time.

Couldn't agree more. Although I loathe Taylor and thought this episode was way OTT in the screeching, I think she feels like Russell will beat her to a pulp if he finds out she's ever talked about the abuse to others..
I've worked quite a bit with battered wives, and, just as they're not all as hysterical as Taylor, some are so quiet and meek, they all have that inner numbness, born of fear - certain that it's all their fault and absolutely incapable of leaving. Abusers isolate and suck every ounce of your soul, I bet she's frightened of what she says, they certainly look very awkward when they're socialising. She's like a timid mouse. I actually felt sorry for her tonight. Her meltdown was probably brought out by fear.

Kyle hasn't a clue, what a biatch. Just shut up, Kyle. Oh and just how many times have we seen her do the splits, typical attention seeker.

I so wish Bravo had edited all this out. It's awful to watch and not in the slightest bit entertaining.

On a lighter note, Kevin's table designs for Pandora's wedding were out of this world...literally. They are really milking this season. It doesn't finish until mid January. Paul, email your questions asap.

Same! also agree with your post sootysoo. My God, what an episode, I dont know what to say, So, So uncomfortable to watch, I felt like I needed a drink after that. Whilst Im no fan of Taylor, watching her endlessly go through these meltdown is awful. Have to agree with tally when you say about it being fear of Russells reaction, so true. Shes terrified this all gets back to him & he will beat the living daylights out of her Its heartbreaking & I dont mind admitting I did feel quite sorry for her in that episode. Not sure where the entertainment value is to be found in Taylors near weekly breakdowns? Not for me.

Taylor clearly needs help & being on the show is doing her no favours whatsoever.

Again, really liking Brandi, felt bad that her party turned into such an epic fail!
Kyle, on the other hand, she just needs to go away. She gets more vile by the week. And yeah, the splits again, we get it. Move on hunni. Nobody cares. Shes horrendously jeaous of Brandi.

Speaking of, the other woman, Dana? she seems a bit surplus to requirements now doesnt she?! shes hardly around.

Thing about D.D though? I always thought she was like Camilles PA or something, Im pretty sure shes on Camilles payroll somewhere

LOVE Kevin the wedding planner. Fabulous! "Darling, this is a Million dollar wedding"

and Lisa's quick put me down, everytime. "It's not costing a million"

Of course it will, think of a number and double it, it's going to be fabulous, dahling.
(I'm giggling away at the thought of watching Pandora's do, which will be OTT but still classy, with Kim's utter monstrosity which wouldn't even know the meaning of "less is more")

I need me some Kevin at the moment, to get rid of the nasty vibes I'm beaming at Bravo for airing Taylor and Russell's descent.

Kevin is television gold. I'm sure Bravo could sign him up for his own series.

Having gone away and thought more about it I really believe the best thing Bravo should have done was to completely withdraw Taylor from season 2 after Russell's death. The whole thing just feels like an exploitative exercise in playing out the drama before the suicide, it's just really gross.

Loving the Lisa wedding planner but those invitations (costing around 15k) were just pathetic. How she can slam Taylor for the price of her daughters birthday bash and then spend that much on invitations is just hypocrisy. She should have gone down the original plan of having the wedding in England and the reception in an old pub! Really looking forward to how the final plan will come together though.

Was anyone else a bit creeped out by Camille's friend DD? When she was going on and on and on about how much she loved her. I just had a flashback of the film single white female for a second.

There seems to be underlying tension in the Richards/Hilton families. Their older sister Kathy is rarely even discussed and whenever they have family get together's she is nowhere to be seen. We get that they are all busy but why wouldn't you turn up for your niece's graduation party if you were invited, presumably months, if not years in advance?

One part that made me cringe was during "game night" when Dana was sitting down with Kyle and saying something like "we've all been through so much together haven't we?" to which Kyle just said something like "who?". She's trying so hard to arrange a trip together with everyone and failing miserably. Camille had me in stitches when she was talking about THAT party saying that there was a choice between a whole meringue or a breadstick to eat.

I thought this too, but I'm sure I read somewhere in the Producers Blog that Kathy & Paris were both in a contract for Paris' reality show and therefore would be breaching it if they appeared on another show which is why we never see them on it.

I also agree with you sootysoo about withdrawing Taylor from the show. It seems every single message board I go on, everyone dislikes her and thinks she's a troublemaker/liar. I hope she doesn't return for Series 3.

haha Absolutely! I cant wait to see Pandoras wedding either, which, yeah, absolutely will cost a $1million!, mind you, Ive no doubt it will look it aswell. Cant wait to comapre and contrast between that and Miss Zolciaks (sure to be) explosion of bad taste!



Oh yeah, they MUST give him his own show!! He makes every scene he is in for me haha he & Lisa are a dream.
The absolute bright spark in amongst the misery of Taylor/Russell. I mean I was sure Bravo said they would cut alot of it out, so if this is what they have left in, I dread to think what else there was! I LOVE the BH ladies, but its just not right watching her unravel like that on tv.

Just been watching Bio Sky 156 and it said from 19th December you can watch housewives of Beverly Hills. The sky programmer wont go that far ahead so dont know if its a new series or the last one being repeated .

Sory, just checked Digiguide and it's a repeat of Series 1.

Is that the one thats just ended Tally??

Yup. PM'd you re Series 2

Just caught up on the latest from Atlanta, so thought Id share!

Kim had her baby, very sweet. I thought her mans face was pretty funny, when Kim said he was really calm & Brielle was like, No, hes not! Hes got a million things going through his head! In fairness, if you were him & you were just about to have a baby & therefore tie yourself to Kim for life....you propably would be a bit aswell!!

She really has landed on her feet with Kroy though, seems like such a nice guy. Hope Kim knows shes got a good one!

Thought it was funny when her nurse asked if she was going to keep her wig on for the delivery......

How different did Cynthia seem in NY? She just looked so much lighter & more herself. She seems MUCH more suited to life in Manhattan. No suprprise when she told her friend she had reservations about moving to Atlanta....and how long before she hears those warning sirens about Peter?! Also, didnt realise Cynthia was 44? Shes looks so much younger, shes gorgeous obviously, but I didnt realise she was in her 40s.

Also, NeNe? Im sure Ive read that guy she went to dinner with is now her man aswell as her business partner? Her "date" with him was so funny, she looked mainly mortified for most of it & the way he just kept telling her stuff was hilarious. And can we mention about her earrings? I know NeNe has always been a fan of big earrings, but has anyone noticed the ones shes wearing in her confessional this week? they are HUGE, literally they rest on her shoulders! They actually kept distracting me everytime it cut to her lol

Cant believe Sheree's ex had the nerve to serve her with papers, she should have taken Phaedras advice last week & sent him to jail! Looks like its not going to go very well for her in court either....Oh dear. Also, must she insist on taking everyone out to that building site that is supposedly her "house", we all know its still sitting empty today apparently, & if I recall correctly, its actually her mother who owns the land & not Sheree. I mean, what purpose did it serve, she & her mum literally stood around & kicked at some dirt! haha

Its the curse of these shows I think, we all know most of them are in debt of eye watering proportions, but yet, none of them will do anything to help themselves & insist on living WAY beyond their means.

Kandi getting her mum ready for a dating site was quite amusing. I liked when she asked her mum if she had tried on a dress & if she had any compliments on it? Her mum said Well, I tried it on at home & complimented myself!

Is it true theres another new ep of Atlanta on tonight in the US? Bravo are spoiling us this week!

Oh God, me again, bumping the thread up! Oh Well......

Been meaning to give my 2cents worth on the latest from BH.

Ok, so, Lisa and Taylor?! Please! Im sorry, I know Lisa is just trying to extend an olive branch & reach out to taylor right now, but its just so strange watching them together, having lunch, going to Vegas?! a few episodes ago Lisa couldnt stand her!

I mean I never believed it when they called truce in the first place, it was like a 2minute discussion, Ok, lets put this behind us. And thats it. Even Kyle was & I dont ever like to agree with her haha

Pandora- Not sure Id have my mum come with me on my Bachelorette night, even if she is as fab as Lisa haha at least she didnt bring Giggy along.....

Vegas was fun though, I think Id have preferred to be with Camille, Brandi & Adrienne though. The Palms is fabulous, Adrienne certainly knows how to do Vegas, I know she owns the place, but still, it was tres impressive! Only downside was Dana and D.D, why is Dana such a try hard?! Ooh look, did you see my lollipop holder? It cost a $1million u know! Does she want a round of applause?!

I thought Lisa was hilarious at the Chippendales show though, & I love how she kept referring to them as "chipmunks", and dear God, I thought Taylor was going have a heart attack during the show, all her whooping & screaming. Mind you, it was better than watching another public breakdown.

I actually felt for Kim at the end when she was crying.....the woman clearly has major issues and Im glad shes gone back to rehab, I hope she gets the help she needs. The boyfriend I dont think is helping her much though, typical Kyle to blame him for all their issues, Im sure hes no saint, but look in a mirror honey! Also, must have been hard for her to show Kim some sympathy, I was just waiting for her to do the usual, give her some comfort, then take it all away by telling her what a disaster she is & how shes brought all her issues on herself! All with the best sisterly intentions of course!

Looks like next week should be interesting, though I think we all knew it was only a matter of time before Russell threatened to sue Camille. And it looks like its going to go off at Kyles party.....

I completely agree XxSassyGirlXx with everything you've said. Lisa you can tell is still so irritated by Taylor's victim complex as even when they were supposed to be bonding over the "chipmunks" dancing, Lisa could be heard telling Taylor to "calm yourself down woman, have you never seen a naked man before!"

Adrienne's comments about Lisa going to another casino just really annoy me. Does she not get that the owner of that casino has known the Vanderpump Todd's for over 15 years and invited them over personally. Adrienne should have extended her offer for them to stay at the palms but that should have been the end of it. Classless woman, and I used to really like her. The thing that really irked me about it was when Lisa inquired about her wine being used by Adrienne's hotel's she just got the brush off from her. It's no wonder Lisa has moved house now!

Kyle is just an annoyance. One of those queen bitches you meet in high school who think they are a cut above the rest but are actually just scared, insecure little bullies. Her lack of emotion when Kim was spilling her heart out to her says it all really. I think she secretly finds pleasure in her sister's turmoil.

Cannot wait for next week when Russell appears to make an entrance and then gets forcibly dejected at the same time.

I've only just got round to the new Atlanta and BH....damn Christmas getting in the way. I bet Adrienne, Lisa et al dont spend hours on cards. Their staff do them!

Haven't read your posts sassy or sooty (*halo* aren't I good?) Will catch up when I've seen them.
