Yay, Yolanda is doing the reunion. She's been in Florida trying new things for her lyme disease so I thought she probably would have skipped. I didn't forsee Bravo forcing her to attend. YOLANDA ‏@YolandaHFoster Maintenance Day....... Pulling myself together for the big day to tomorrow, taping of the #RHOBH reunion

Don't know if this is old news but Marissa and Camille won't be at the RHOBH reunion which tapes, I think, tomorrow. Marissa seems disappointed she's not going so I'm guessing she wasn't invited. Not sure about Camille - but Marissa mentioned that neither she or Camille would be at the reunion.

There's been 100 times that I've almost done it. I think I will - after I pay off a few credit card bills. I started spending crazy between November and late January and now it's a race to pay stuff before they add interest.

True dat, but there's a ton of people on Twitter who are "I tried to get it in my bookstore, but ..." granted most add "I'll just get it on Amazon." I haven't bought the book yet because I want to get free shipping (25.00) so I'm waiting until something else I really want goes for a really good price. I'm not cheap, I've just been spending a lot recently and I'm trying to correct that.

Indeed. I have to buy that book. It sucks that they're not distributing the book to bookstores in a decent fashion - either by fault of the bookstores of the publisher. It may have gone #1 on the NYT list if it had better availability. It was #2 with minimum book store distribution. I hope those three never "break-up" (read: have a serious fight) as long as they're on RHOBH. They make me happy.

Kandi made a last minute surge getting Brandi out of that 5th spot. I guess it's for the best, Brandi was taking some of the Lisa votes which was allowing Teresa to take the lead and it probably would have happened again. I don't dislike Teresa but I'd prefer Lisa for the win. JP, Kandi? Really? She's fallen so out of grace with me. Kim? Really?

Question: Don't you think Bravo (in terms of its production interference) arranges or encourages the ambushes at Reunions? I noticed on the RHOBH reunion last year that Andy was going at Lisa nearly as hard as Adrienne's group. I remember being shocked because I wasn't expecting anybody to have an issue with Lisa. I thought they would bring Brandi out and she'd be the one they went after hard - and vice versa. Even if Bravo does this, it's the choice of each individual to play along.

Thanks for posting that. Kyle doesn't seem to understand it's her fault Lisa is closer to Brandi than she is to [Kyle]. Brandi didn't hypnotize a dumb Lisa. Kyle, seemingly, agreed to be part of Adrienne's lynching of Lisa at the last reunion. Then Kyle defends Adrienne like she's her daughter and keeps mum when Lisa is being attacked. Kyle wants what they used to have but her actions are never going to lead to that since she won't take responsibility for her part in their issues - it's always what Brandi is doing, or what Lisa is doing and never really what Kyle is doing or what Kyle has done. This hurts Lisa more than it would with Camille because it seems that she thought Kyle was a real friend. The other thing is Lisa is being very nice to Kyle. What the heck does Kyle want? She needs to stop being jealous - jealous of this one/that one as an individual OR/AND because her friend seems to like another friend better. Well, she doesn't need to do that. I like the underlying conflict.

I had a feeling a RH was going to be on this season. Lisa's a-- can move too. RHOBH I totally misheard what Brandi said about Mohammed (msp). Her comment was not about forgetting whether or not she had sex with him - it was her contemplating whether or not she flirts with him. Loved having Yolanda on for most of the episode, for once. Ken (<-- mostly his) and Lisa's extended family? Surprising but funny - and good-looking. I've noticed this forever but I've never said it: Lisa's adorable dog looks so much like Ken. Kyle was tolerable the entire episode. Poor Taylor. Bravo not showing her any love (no ticket to Paris). Looking at the preview, Yolanda and Brandi pretty much decide to be a couple in Paris.

Was Brandi not sure if she ever slept with Yolanda's ex? lol. She was like "I'm pretty sure I didn't ... right? I think"

Brandi at the Oscars. Fashion commentator for OTRC.com. Hopefully she put the super glue on the right spots:

With Miranda coming back more mature (<-- mature, for the unspoiled), I was looking over some of the old MC/Babyswitch storyline. So good... Early days of Baby-switch montage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcwiXrRWbos I loved that scene with Paul choosing who to give Miranda-Bess to, everything about it was perfect. It felt like a life-time although it was only 90 seconds.You knew the Miranda didn't stand a chance with Adam there and Erica not there BUT you still were hoping. Then Paul finally gives the Bess side the win and the reaction shots are just perfect. Bianca returning the slicing and dicing to Erica after she attempts to comfort her in the aftermath of the crash and switch. "We said?!?" Shut down. "How many candles?" Shut down. "You're lying about lying." "...to Erica." I loved what they did with Kendall & Bianca in the last scene, as well, the whispering of "You did exactly what you needed to do." The connecting to the abortion clinic scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPvhfAKKNag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ50v-QzlFc

Kandi not going after Wigs + a season (was it just one season?) long sex toy story = Vomit. She is good for some one-liners and to hand out some WTF looks but at one point I actually liked her on the show and felt she was the voice of reason. Checking my Twitter, I see Marlo and Nene were hanging out together this weekend. Is there any chance they'd bring Marlo back to the scene?

I remember the Howard Stern show used to be on regular late-night TV for a few years back in the day -- and I was shocked but I kept on watching, lol. That said, I actually think Howard is a really cool guy BUT he has a really popular show and if you're going on that really popular show - sex is going to be the main topic. I'm usually surprised by the guests who go on Howard's show ... and what they reveal. Brandi was being Brandi though. She doesn't filter much to begin with and being on HS - one filters a little less than usual. I agree, but it's also probably something he already had installed in him - the guy is unbelievably attractive on the outside and getting laid whenever he wanted to be laid by whoever he wanted to be laid-by probably wasn't new to him when he met Brandi. I do find it interesting LeAnn's publicist (i.e. LeAnn) didn't go after Brandi on any of the sex topics. It did feel as if they had been watching RHOBH, listening to her interviews and reading her book and picking things out to try to get-ha with. That kind of tells me much more than I want to know about what's probably going on in Eddie and LeAnn's personal life nowadays. I'm looking at some pictures back when Eddie and Brandi were "babies" through to the cheating years. They really were striking together: Dating (1998)... Married (2001)... Cheating with LeAnn (2009)... I feel like the kids should be even cuter...

After already dealing with a B-C-list husband who left her with little to no money, hopefully she knows this and saves and invests well INSTEAD of, you know, plotting to eventually marry some rich bitch.

The NY Times put out their latest list, so now it's 100% official. Very close to an actual #1 in combined... COMBINED PRINT & E-BOOK NONFICTION AMERICAN SNIPER, by Chris Kyle with Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice DRINKING AND TWEETING, by Brandi Glanville with Leslie Bruce PROOF OF HEAVEN, by Eben Alexander AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL, by Ben C.

I really hope it doesn't happen although it would be helluva interesting to watch, lol. Wendy's right when she says they could hiatus all the others RH arms with that combo on BH, lol. I don't want it because it could easily turn into what RHONJ is now which is really ugly due to the family elements being used and abused for our "entertainment."

I thought I was the only one finding RHOA rather boring. The viewership fluctuates so much for the show though - it'll probably still be the highest rated arm of the RH family. One week they're at 2.5 million and then the next week they're at 4 million. Re: RHOBH. Earlier today, Leann's publicist called Brandi a narcissistic drunk - but you can tell they're just pulling at straws because Brandi's book tour is pissing them off. Brandi, in reply, told them to go bleep themselves. Rumor mill is Bravo is trying to make Leann a RHOBH and that Brandi is fine with it. I personally don't believe it. It would make for a RHONJ like Season 4 though, lol.

I get what you're saying but this is not RHONJ. I don't think it would get that bad. The "teams" on RHOBH are not that serious: It's "when things get bad, I'll have [name] back" teams. On RHONJ you have too much family as well as people who were good long-time friends. It's messier when the connections are that close. I don't feel comfortable watching RHONJ because of those connections being abused. On RHOBH you have more of an acquaintances element. They're not as connected to each other. Their mindset is different. I could see Brandi and Adrienne OR Adrienne and Lisa mending fences at some point next season but there would always be a little something there. Kyle likes Lisa, and she likes Brandi despite herself at times but she'll always be a little jealous and resentful of Brandi (and even of Lisa; Lisa for usurping her as the must-keep HW) in the back of her mind Etc. If they get RS's ex, I do think they should try to keep Adrienne in some capacity. It's too good to pass up even though Adrienne is so bland.

Dayna is actually the front-runner according to the rumor-mill. "Teams," I think, are very elemental to these shows. There's usually some sort of divide to drive drama. The divide on RHOBH is fun for me because it's nowhere near as serious or unbalanced as it is on RHONJ. The BH ladies can try to cut each other one night and then laugh it off the next day in most cases EVEN if underlying issues remain. She seems so interesting on paper especially when you look at "storylines" playing out this season (and the potential of what could play next season) but in and of herself there's really nothing significant there. Her storyline this season has mostly been played without her present. She has very little presence. That probably would remain true even if you throw in Rod Stewart's ex. I don't see BRAVO fighting that hard to keep her and she appears to want out. We shall see... So, I do think there should be no question about Lisa, Brandi and Kyle's status. Yolanda part-time. I'd be fine with the cast as is with just some changes in status as they try out 1-2 different HWs. I'm not sure why you dislike Camille so much. I think she's fun. The thing about Camille and Taylor is you get the sense they're PERFORMING right now. They're trying to contrive action for themselves - by the prompt of BRAVO or/and because they want to stay. I don't have a major problem with it as the desperation is amusing. If any cast needs the total reboot it is NJ. I hope the add-on's are indeed a prelude to that reboot.

I can live with this. Lisa/Brandi/RodStewartsEx (with a side of Yolanda. Lisa brought Yolanda in and Yolanda adores Brandi so she's on <--- that team) versus Kyle/Adrienne/ .... I don't like Faye and I don't like thinking of her getting over 100 grand but maybe ... Nah, they could get some other chick to fill a third spot. It doesn't make sense for Camille to be on any team with Kyle. It's contrived that she is. Otherwise, I'd say keep Camille. Can't we keep Taylor and Camille as the friends? Kim would have to show up now and then for Kyle.

I agree, the way she has her hair parted in that picture really works for her. Yolanda said she would do a second season if her health permits. I like most of this gang and - lawsuits aside - they don't fight as much or as seriously as some of the other groups. Lisa (class and humor) and Brandi (loveable "trash") are perfect. Kyle ... kind of is perfect too. But they need to add somebody in that will call her bs out. Yolanda is seeing through her. Yolanda is a great tea-server but I'm not sure she deserves full-HW pay. Taylor and Camille when being bitchy is interesting. I'd keep them around. Adrienne can go. Marisa is not at all necessary. ETA: I'm guessing this advice is in Brandi's book? Hah.

Re: Howard & Brandi: All the "news" articles are focusing on a. the pay reveal (I wonder if Bravo is at all upset about that) and b. her calling the other housewives c--ts (as well as c. the bi-question). They were c--ts to her for most of last season & some still are - that's all she was saying. Mess, lol. I wonder if they'll use that to sustain Season 4 like on RHONJ? Nah, she probably calls them that to their face as well. Which one of these side-chicks is Howard's wife? He's lucky either way. Marisa showed up to surprise Brandi at the LA B&N book signing (Brandi's now officially the author of a NY Times Best Seller) on Wednesday:

Exactly the reason I didn't post the details after listening to it last night, lol. Extras for those who didn't listen to it... Her father dealed marijuana (to close friends and family) but he prefers to be called a distributor. He's concerned now that she revealed that and used the word "dealer." Family walked around naked all the time (they had plastic over the furniture). She's always been very sexual but says it's not 3 different guys a day or a week when Howard posed those questions, it's usually a whirlwind 1-2 week situation with each guy. Anal? Only husband. She says she gave Eddie anal permission on holidays. GB did not get anal. She also said she is the one who introduced threesomes into their marriage after several years in. It would be an extra girl but she'd get the action from the girl because she was too jealous to have it any other way. It kind of just happened, she says, it started out with girlfriends dancing then one of her friends mentioned that she and her significant other used a professional. She doesn't consider herself bi because, yeah, she loves the cock too much. Howard kept on pushing the question of the most famous female or male she slept with. It's GB for the guys. It was just a fling but he really hates her now because she revealed it. She wouldn't name the girl ... but did confirm she was an A lister. [From the gossip mill it was Demi Moore] Eddie used to come back to her for sex his first year with Leann. She said somebody may have taped Eddie admitting that and somebody may have sent that tape to Leann. LOL. She used to have sex with him because she was still so in love with him. He's the love of her life. She hopes she'll find somebody to take that feeling away from her eventually. She stopped having sex with him after using his credit card to have her vagina tightened and cleansed. He had made a comment about it not being the same since she had the kids. Leann does a lot of stuff that be considered buying the kids [and their friends, teachers] - she sings to their classes & teachers as mentioned, she buys presents for the entire class the kids are in, buses, concerts. Brandi says it makes her feel crappy because she can't afford to do all that, she can't sing and be on a stage in front of people. Her younger son adores Leann but the older one is in the more aware stage and there are issues (him not feeling Leann likes him as much as the younger one, etc). It's hilarious about Kyle. She really didn't give her a second of airtime.

Kyle put up a blog. It's so full of bulls--t it ain't even worth copying and pasting.
