Russell's funeral is today. Apparently there is only one funeral.

He will be laying in the same cemetary as other celebrities. Where did that money come from to bury him there?

The 'widow' is scared to face his family today.

Hopefully everyone will behave. After all, its a funeral.

I don't think Ashley looks like a dude, but she does look like her father.

I still want more information on Matt, like what he does for a living besides start fires! So he was a deadbeat dad. Mmmm...

Just finished watching Sunday's show. WOW. Ashley. Complete ungrateful douche'. LOVED the end when Chris walked in her room, shut the door slightly and threw her ass out!! Why did he tell her to have her friends pick her up? Is he keeping the Jeep from her??

Theresa....how good of friends are all these women with Theresa if they had to read about the outcome of Joe's situation thru the newspaper??

Why oh Why are any of those women sticking with her? I understand friends stand by each other, but what kind of a friend is she to anyone???

Ashley is 20 year old lost douch'e bag. What is Theresa's excuse?? Just she is a 40 year old douche' bag?

btw.....speaking of Dina.....she has a new show debuting on HGTV.

I was surprised as I read she would make 'occasional' appearances on NJ.

Either way, this is her own show.

Congrats to her!

I am googling right now about Matt's scar. It appears lots of people are asking the question but I am not finding the answer.

I haven't watched Sunday's episode yet....so I am trying to skip some parts. Anyone know where & how the scar came from??

Or what he does for a living? Besides set fires.

OMG! My mouth is hanging open to this story!

And I was wondering what they did for a living, since they appeared to have more money than I would have thought.

Thanks for sharing...!!

Hard to believe Bravo could get sued successfully. Last season Taylor came off poorly herself, so it's not like they were favoring her. Early report suggested she clashed with lots of cast members and was coming off as the villain for season two. Plus, Russell has no way of knowing how Bravo was going to portray him. He knew how season one went and decided to film the second season. He also approved of having filmed therapy sessions. That's all his choice. I don't see how Bravo did anything to him.

Other husbands have asked not to be filmed (or to keep it at a minimum) and that request has been granted. It was his choice to do the show and he had waaaaaaaaaaaay too much going on in his life to successfully argue Bravo caused this.

BRAVO didn't do anything unethically.

From listening to stories, he apparently wanted his marriage to work. So he went to work with her.

I also believe BRAVO will cut him out. There will have to be an explanation.....IMO address the situation briefly, and move on.

With or without Taylor.

They dont like her? Its not surrpisign considering there was a divorce in process and she is a known gold digger with no love in that marriage. They probably blame her for his troubles. They better find a way to work with her bc she is Kennedy's mother and if they ever want to have a relationship with that little girl, Taylor is their only avenue to do so since Russell is no longer around

Reading & listening to the news, his family never met her. Is that possible?

I been following this case on TV as I am a news junkie.

The reporters/anchors/attorneys are saying the no Bravo is not responsible since he had alot of things going on in his life, and it wasn't just the show that caused this. Bravo is more than likely cutting and editing as we speak. They want to get on the air as soon as possible, as though this was a tradegy, it will sky rocket the ratings. They will remove him. The family stated they will sue if he is in one episode.

I was being sarcastic. Something I do often! lol

I would love to defend Taylor, however, wtf did she spend $60,000 on a birthday party for her child??

Were Russell's family in attendance I wonder?

UPDATE...Funeral has been planned. 2 separate funerals. One for his family, one for Taylor. How sad.

Apparently Taylor has had no contact with his family since he died. Why?

She's old by Beverly Hills standards

Old or had wayyyyy to much surgery done on her face?? Those lips......OMG.

Oh wow, sucks for Taylor. She better star shopping around for a book deal.

Or a new husband.

The house is a rental.

According to Russell's lawyer, there are few to no assets left.

I didn't know the house was a rental. Well there is no money. Zip. His assets had to be liquidated if he was filing bankrupcy.

Watching HLN now, Russell's family are claiming if he shows up in one episode, they are suing.

I don't see Beverly Hills coming back very soon. JMO

Gloria Monty was brilliant. She brought the show back from near disaster in her day.

I am no accountant, but stock isn't worth a dime these days. She can't get rich off of that.

Hopefully he did keep a trust for the daughter and 2 sons.

I can assure you the house is mortgaged to the hills.....and can't get anything for it. The bank owns it. Not her.

(Unless someone comes out and buys it for her) Or pays her mortgage every month.

The bills too?? lol

She can't collect on life insurance since he committed suicide. It won't pay out.

Without sounding calous....he was broke. Again. Instead of standing behind him to rebuild himself, she chose her career over her marriage.

Isn't that really the bottom line?

Thank You for sharing that.....and reminding me of my age!!!

I was on Team Russell, minus the beating and abuse, of course.

Taylor is a gold digger and wanted a sugar daddy or whoever would front the lifestyle she's wanted. There are rumors of her conning some rich lady in Florida who was presumably her lover.

Russell did not come off as an !@#$%^&*] to me in S1. He seemed really uncomfortable being in front of the cameras and interacting with the other ladies and their husbands (he probably new financial implosion was looming). He shared some great scenes with Kennedy (giving her Snowball, interaction in the kitchen when Taylor was away).

IMO, Taylor wanted money. She got it. Love was unnecessary.

Sadly your post is right on. Right now she is living with her deamons.

Next week she will be out looking for the next guy/girl who can bankroll her.

It is sad all aroud.

He married her for whatever reason. Was he trying to hide his sexual preferences? Was he in love with her?

If he was in love with her, did she hurt him by using him for his money?

If he was so bankrupt, I can assure you she had plenty to do with that. He blamed her.

I know the feeling of trying to please someone, and in the end get kicked in the azz for it. Its devastating. I am not saying this is what happened...but she was a gold digger. From day one.

WOW. Thanks for the update. I wasn't aware of the beatings. Then she should have filed for divorce. I agree.

Bravo isn't to blame in any scenerio. Let's say that he didn't beat her.

She obviously wanted to do the show more than working on her marriage. Not saying that is the case, I am just giving a scenerio.

Either way, it comes down to what happened was between these 2. NOT Bravo. This show is about reality. Bravo played on it.

If the characters involved didn't want to do it, they should have walked away.

Dina on NJ housewifes quit, as it was becoming a problem in her marriage. That is why she left the show. They let her go.

Holy [!@#$%^&*]. He was a hot piece! And Caroline, so pretty.

I like how he comes across as very stand-up and dedicated to his wife and family, especially Ashley who is lucky to have two fathers who love her.

Anyboy know where I can watch past seasons of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?

Try going to Bravo website, download last season......or (I haven't checked) perhaps with all this publicity, Bravo is running reruns.

Per People magazine...Taylor is held up in her home with her daughter. No comments. No press releases.

The season premiere party was to be August 23rd and it has been cancelled states People magazine.

I LIKED Theresa season 1 & 2.

DISPISE her now. ICK!

Russell...may he rest in peace. That is all I want to speculate on that.

Taping is still ongoing.

This has to air. There is no other way.

Bravo wants respect from their viewers.

They will address on the show what happened, I do not see them airing any dirty laundry in regards to this couple since his death.

Yeah, I heard on the radio this morning that he was apparently bisexual... and Taylor knew! More info coming out about Russell now.

I don't think you can sue or fault Bravo for this. They signed on and knew what they were getting into.

YEP he swung both ways I heard. Big deal. Let him rest in peace.

HLN news....keeps repeating this story and should Bravo get sued. For what??

The marriage was over between these 2. Apparently since it has been noted that he didn't want the divorce (supposingly)

it must have been her decision. Apparently her career was more important than working on her marriage. Why is that Bravo's fault?

If they run with the story, that is a different story, but they haven't, nor do I think they will. JMO
