For real? It has felt like she's thrown his name out quite a bit. "Trump money" maybe was isolated to Sheree. Well, right now, what helps Kenya also helps Brandi and vice-versa (they're on the same team, for now), so go ahead and do that Kenya! ETA: Oh, while I'm still iffy on Kenya having any solid Hollywood connections, she probably does have Marlo who seems to be rolling in it and who would probably like to see Kenya outlast Nene too. I'm trying to decipher which team won, that is if the first firing was even taped tonight. Brandi's pretty happy of the after midnight Tweeters. .

On paper, the only people with strong money connections on the girls team are Keisha (I'm guessing she's leading the first challenge because she was thanking Chef Roble for his recipe help) and Vivica. There's an 8th member but I don't know who that is yet. Shawn and Leeza could have some moderate or weaker connections. Kate, Brandi and Kenya, I assume would have the weakest connections. In terms of RH connections I could see Kim, Kyle, Yolanda (who has Foster money) and Carlton throwing a dime Brandi's way. I could see Kandi and maybe even Cynthia throwing a dime Kenya's way. Lest we forget, Kenya sort of has a Trump inside connection - Miss USA and all. Did Trump own the pageant back in 1993? Did Nene ever try her Trump money line on Kenya?

Olivia Oshry ‏@OliviaOshry 3h "Met my spirit animal, the one & only @BrandiGlanville after she got pied in the face by @KenyaMoore! Love" LOL, nooo.... yes! Hopefully they call a game show truce after this. The CA girls always end up fu--ing themselves with the cattiness. OK so the girls team is definitely: Vivica A. Fox (Film Actress) Leeza Gibbons (Talk Show Host) Brandi Glanville (Reality Personality; RHOBH) Kate Gosselin (Reality Personality; Kate Plus Eight) Shawn Johnson (Athlete, Reality Personality; Gymnastics, DWTS Contestant) Kenya Moore (Reality Personality; RHOA) Keisha Knight Pullum (Television Actress; Rudy, The Cosby Show) Somebody is missing? No?

Interesting indeed. If Allison is still advising Carlton, I can see why Carlton is a frickin nut case when it comes to Kyle. Andy went to visit his gurls. I'll bring in the pictures from the Brandi side. Pie to the face...

Adrienne doesn't look as severe as she does in that picture all the time, lol, but, yeah, it was definitely Adrienne shade. I was looking at old RHOBH pictures trying to see if IA with Andy's thoughts on Brandi's cheeks. They're definitely more angled. it could be the fillers, or maybe not. Looking at old pictures reminded me of how much I enjoyed the show prior to this season. They need to script their reunion for next season. Sniffle...

Eric's quotation of the remark was definitely on the mark. Woman makes me do a spit take at least once an episode, lol.

They were talking about plastic surgery, Brandi mentioned that she does fillers and some days she's like WTF about them but she said she'd never go as far as that woman that was fired last season.

Why "obviously"? (ETA: She is pretty easy to forget). I lean towards Adrienne because they did a shot of Lisa appearing to enjoy the shade and we know A/L had issues.

My first thought was Taylor, but definitely could be Adrienne.

Andy's never treated Lisa well at reunions. Maybe she annoys him, too? IDK.

The men of Celebrity Apprentice.... No group photo of the women up yet, I think. Lorenzo had really f'ed up his face. Geez. Brandi and Kenya are definitely on the season as they're inviting Tweeters to come out to buy pie at Union Square. I'm somewhat close to the mens location for pie-selling tomorrow but it's a little too far and little too cold for me to stroll down there for lunch. Hopefully the girls get to choose and choose a lunch-time location near Columbus Circle/Central Park before long.

Agree ... and agree. I really don't think her publishers would have wanted her to turn down a press-op like that either. But whatevs... I always said to myself Gaga's like a pop star on fast-forward. Might she be in the twilight of her career already? Possible, but after Beyonce's comeback, I won't count her out yet. Gaga is very talented, unfortunately she's also totally full of pretentious bulls--t.

Gaga just released the video for one of her songs (G.U.Y) off of Art Flop. Two cameos from the RHOBH ladies (minus Brandi and Boyce), I believe. It's an 11 minute video (but 5 minutes of that are credits). This is the second cameo and it's just Kyle, Lisa and the Gigster with Gaga and guns blazing ... literally. The first part was the ladies lip-synching to Venus in pink dresses.

I don't agree with this. Brandi comes off like a bit of a cry baby whining about "mommy/mommy dearest," don't get me wrong, but I haven't really seen "too far". Brandi said Lisa and/or Ken filed for bankruptcy and may have lived in a less rich part of town. She pointed that out not to ruin Lisa's life but to point out Lisa is afraid of anything less than the perception of perfection. Lisa made a bigger deal of those things than Brandi, ultimately. She could have denied it and let the truth stand for itself. Lisa has been dragging Brandi personally up, down and sideways for lying about something I now feel absolutely certain Lisa is lying about (tabloid). In the same universe that Paul and Mauricio were called bitches and worst for doing even less.

I'm not shocked but it is quite amazing how much better they do than almost all other programming on Bravo. They were kicking butt last season which was probably one of the weaker seasons they've had. RHOA has been wildly entertaining this season in a harmless way. Almost all the girls - and some of the "guys" (looks at Peterita) - are bringing it in terms of bringing shade, tea, drama (contrived and natural), there's mama Joyce bringing a healthy dose of ghetto. Except for Phaedra with Kenya, all the girls are not taking s--t to heart hardcore - at least not during the taping of the season (so far). That's key to making the experience enjoyable for me as a viewer. It's why I used to love RHOBH most before this season. I watched most of it but not closely. Nene was okay. I got to say this chick is actually a really good entertainment personality. Sometimes I want to strangle her, sometimes I think she's just great adorable, harmless fun. O.T. Candice Cameron was amazing (and she's grown up into a beautiful woman) but her personality sort of reminds me of annoying Nene. Maybe that will change as the season progresses. "Winnie" versus "DJ"? Love that. Pretty good casting this season. Those gold-medal winning ice dancers are good and I'm sure they are also good for ratings but that's such an unfair advantage. They can dance eloquently on ice with a thin blade. They're not going to have much trouble dancing the same way in flats with heels. RHOA Only caught the last 30 minutes. I have to say the interaction between Apollo and Kenya was inappropriate from both sides considering the way they both know Phaedra feels about that. They were flirting. Apollo is definitely doing more of it - checking Kenya out, etc. It's clear Kenya was right about the texts.

Lisa handled that party like she just didn't care? Uhm, no. She was on Kyle like she cared until it became obvious Kyle wasn't going to bite with believing her. She was talking with Brandi like she cared for her to see where she's coming from with Scheana. She was getting antsy and super defensive when the tabloid was brought up again in a group ... like she cared. Uhm, that was not anything close to cool as a cucumber. I'm not used to seeing Lisa trying so hard actually. I was surprised. Lisa isn't going anywhere unless Bravo wants her gone from RH. She's close to a non-entity on VR (think Nene on Glee). I'm sure she doesn't love that most of her co-workers have an issues with her. Nobody would like that. She'll get over it. Celebrity Apprentice I can't wait for the first appearance of Kenya's invisible prince circa a check she gives a carrier to deliver with his signature. I think Brandi and Kenya both have potential in terms of fundraising. Kyle, Kim and Yolanda are still okay with Brandi, I think. Additionally, she has some rich friends outside of the franchise. Kenya might still have some connections in Hollywood. I can see Kandi dropping some money for her charity if she asks nicely. Kenya and Brandi "together" might be an issue though. Kenya is all like dumb bimbo about Brandi and Brandi is all like skanky, ashy ho about Kenya. Well that probably shouldn't scare Brandi in any way - the Lisa or worst than Lisa comparison. Most of that was Brandi being a bit over sensitive about friendship. Kenya is also the weakest in face to face battle of the Atlanta ladies. Unless CA gives the girl a lot of time to script and plot take downs BTS with assistance, she's basically a pussycat that tries too hard to a fault with shade throwing. Jenny McCarthy was the one who inferred Kenya looked like a man on that WWHL. I think Nene, Kenya and Marlo all have a bit of a masculine beauty.

Cat, JP - interesting post on the RHOBH. I have to say with Monday's episode any thought I had that I was reacting to Brandi and Lisa's situation mostly due to not liking groupthink disappeared. Lisa was going pretty much sideways, over and a bit under to defend Scheana's position in everything and that was telling. The fact that Lisa was not condescending with Brandi (as she was with Kyle after she had wronged her) and did not call her out on lying in the private conversation was equally telling. Somebody telling me to hush up so they could tell me why I'm a liar and why I'm suckage as a friend would have had me quadrupling up on the lying point IF it really was a lie. I think Ken is a great husband - any other husband acting like he is I would have pretty much hated already - but him continuing to act like a rabid dog about what Lisa did and didn't do when I'm fairly sure he doesn't really know what she did or didn't do ... it's obnoxious. By being so rabid about it, he's making what Lisa most likely did (half-jokingly) seem like a bigger deal than it is. The magazine thing is not much different than Lisa throwing the Mauricio could be cheating shade at the lunch (where there's oil there's fire) and at her home with Ken (Ken calling the story junk and Lisa strongly disagreeing). Ken and Lisa and even some fans are acting like Lisa didn't do those things despite the fact that it aired on television. Ken was in the right in the last Yolanda fight. Yolanda, Kyle, Brandi and Kim (?) shouldn't have interrupted the men. I can understand why they did to a point - residual anger at Ken for being so rabid. Cat, is it confirmed those Yolanda/Lisa scenes happened? Like you said, it doesn't change but still... It's in keeping with her personality for Yolanda to act like she's okay with you but not really be okay with you. I don't think Yolanda's dislike of Lisa is irrational although her real friend vs. Hollywood friend thing is OTT. She doesn't think Lisa is a good friend and she doesn't sugar coat it.

Nene just posted a link to her personal blog where she's basically bragging on herself about being the most accomplished black woman that ever lived. I'm over exaggerating BUT so is she. I can't wait until her over inflated head REALLY comes out of kissing that big ole a--.

Somebody is lying on me and they tell me to "hush" so I hush on demand and act like I haven't really been wronged and like I want to make up with the person? Yeah. Nah. No. Sorry. No. If some bitch totally made up something about me to drag me and then was getting all up on my grill about how I wronged her, I'd be treating her like Lisa treated Kyle for so long. Lisa was not treating Brandi like that pretty much at all.

So no one (besides me and most likely JP) finds it odd that Lisa didn't bring up "the lie" during the private conversation with Brandi - not only didn't she bring it up but she still seemed eager to fix things with Brandi? Not odd? I'll hold my tongue on it because I guess it could have been oddly edited out. Yolanda almost tossed Ken into the pool. Those two are going to have a real cat fight next season ... or at the reunion. Brandi f--ked up her face. Hopefully she stops doing whatever she's doing and it can go back to a more natural state.

In past weeks, I wanted to slap Nene really hard for making me agree with Peter multiple times among other things. Last night, I wanted to slap Kenya for making me forget that I wanted to slap Nene. Dang you, Kenya. Kenya has potential to be so good but she's both contrived and messy at the same time and that never takes long to shine through. Nene just sitting there like Queen Bobble-head wasn't exactly endearing either. I understood why she did it though. She finally caught a grip and had she opened her mouth there might have been trouble.

Uhm, where exactly did you get that from "one of us is right, one of us is wrong"? <-- That's a fact-based deduction. One of us - no one in particular until there's video or an admission from RHOBH production, Brandi or Lisa - is right and and one of us is wrong on this topic. Maybe you subconsciously believe you're wrong to have reached that deduction. My question is why is it clearly all production when Lisa is doing foul things to help stir storyline (Scheana) but it's Brandi or Kyle being pretty much evil masterminds when they're apparently doing the same? RHOA Kenya was obnoxious tonight. In general, Kenya's messy - her and her fake boyfriends that may or may not be gay. Going so hard on whatshername following the Walter debacle? When you come down to it Kenya's a manufactured, messy, try-hard and tonight was case and point. That puts Nene's immature behavior in perspective. Nene has/had me rooting so hard for Kenya due to just being a complete douche-bag in general. That all aside, I'm totally looking forward to see what trouble messy Kenya enables among herself, Apollo and the pressed funeral director. Isn't he low on funds? He probably wants to become the first male house"wife."

NBA, on body language, we're definitely reading it differently. One of us is right and the other isn't. IMO, any uneasiness Brandi has was because she knew she was making a bigger deal of it than it was and because she regretted putting it out to a point. I agree with Kyle on this, if somebody had just totally made up s--t about me I wouldn't have gone up to them and declared my love for them.That wasn't done with any sarcasm, that was done like "lets call a truce, remember it's me and you against....?"

Yolanda said she saw Lisa see the magazine. That's all she attested to being witness of. That's a lot different from Carlton declaring Lisa never even stepped foot into Brandi's house. Also I'm sure Carlton, Brandi and Yolanda weren't literally or even figuratively sewn together at the hip while at Brandi's.

Well, to me it is kind of obvious, so... That mixed with the general fandom of Lisa being at an extreme point (in terms of turning her into a beacon of virtue) at the moment lent to that comment. Lisa started talking a lot more s--t than usual after the tabloid episode aired which is another reason I think she is guilty besides her body language on the episode. She took it from a soft 3-4 to a hard 8-9. Like I said, I thought it was probably done as a joke. It's the same way I thought Yolanda did what Kyle/Kim accused her of just not at the viciousness they put it out with at the reunion.
