Well, we know that she gossiped about at least two HWs -- clearly, she boasted that Gina's man, Dean, couldn't stop hitting on her. I, too, think that it was something malicious about Bruce and Chyka. That's so funny that you thought Bruce was gay! I think he is 100% straight Aussie metrosexual. Or let me rephrase that -- he is 100% Chyka-sexual, lol. I really believe in their love story, and think he is one of the best hubbies in all the RH franchises. Lydia's hubby though -- yeah, it crossed my mind. Definitely. ETA: Janet implied that Lydia said she had lots of affairs, too. Damn, Lydia is such a Lydiot. Well then it's a misread on my part. I do think that he genuine loves Chyka but something about him just makes me go.... Again, I am taking your word. Again, Lydia can't talk b/c she's bearding and it's obvious. Plus, I do believe that she gets around. I think she's projecting what she does on Janet. I know this reunion is gonna be a mess. The dynamics of this group are ever changing. Maybe not a misread -- I don't know for sure, I just really love them together! He seems to think Chyka is the bee's knees, and what woman wouldn't love a hot someone in their lives who thinks they are fab? Oh Lydia is totally projecting. The close-ups on her face during the dinner were quite something -- the bitter downward droop of her mouth. She is so hard and fake all the time. And the hoe-ing around rumors about her are pretty real, too. Reunion will hopefully be EPIC. I wasn't crazy about last Reunion, though, mainly because Pettifleur was such a spoilsport when anybody tried to imply she was less than perfect, and stormed off the set like a prima ballerina with a hole in her tights. I fear we might see more of that this time around.

I'm not bothering with the Dallas show, it looks a bit ratchet. RHoMelbourne: This show so far is hands down OWNING the other HW franchises this year. That Dubai trip was glorious to look at -- did anybody spot the overhead camera shot at the beginning of the episode? The camera panned across the desert to the horses and luxury encampment where the ladies were having dinner. It was breath-taking. Loved the scene with the sheikh answering questions about the customs of his country. It was all very luxurious and light-hearted, and you could tell the women were sincerely interested in learning about the Emirates. Chyka's wedding planning also looked and sounded fabulous. Gina's words to Pettifleur were so glorious, I wish I could have transcribed them. They were up there with Vicki's dressing down of Tamra at Season 9 Reunion. So much TRUTH. Too bad that none of it sank into Pettifleur's skull of arrogancy [ (c) Lydiot]. Pettifleur is a stupid, selfish, delusional person and it was really sad not seeing any acknowledgement or even evolution in her mindset in the VTs (which were filmed later). She is a royal fool. The dinner at the end when Lydiot's lies came back to bite her in her arse was so much Day of Reckoning. Lydia has been getting away with nasty gossip for two years and the fact that she was exposed is long overdue (wasn't she the one who started the 'Gamble is a stripper' gossip last season?). And that it was Chyka who did it was even better. Lydia is obviously deeply unhappy and deeply jealous of the other women the way she tries to tear them down to build herself up and attach herself to one HW in order to turn on the other.

For Cheap, and for Bright Eyes, I think you are also a BEAST fan. {{hugs}} http://www.soompi.com/2016/04/19/breaking-jang-hyunseung-officially-leaves-beast/ Perhaps this will be for the best. Hyunseung can find the peace he needs and do the music he wants, and BEAST can continue as a 5-man group producing the bops they do. I lived through it with EXO (three times!) but BEAST will stay strong and continue doing some fine stuff.

I found it fascinating...but easily disputable. TT definitely has a strong take on everything she writes about and the one downside of her site is that she runs it with an iron fist. If people don't agree with her then they are immediately called a litany of unflattering names that belittle their logic and bolster hers. I think she underestimates Kyle's role in a lot of things and gives LVP and LemonLyme too much credit for themselves. I also think she misjudges season 1 - LVP was the breakout star from the first episode, she was never grasping to be the centre of attention: she was always the focal point. She also misjudges LVP moving houses - TT says LVP needed to move into a "better house" - yet LVP's current home is substantially less expensive and smaller than her old house and not in a gated community. Finally, she definitely seems sympathetic to Dim Richards when it isn't warranted. I thought the article was interesting as well but I have the exact same issues that you have not only with the site but her opinions. You literally can not have a differing opinion than her without the insults that follow because she disagrees. Yes the first season was mainly about Kyle vs. Camille but LVP was undoubtedly the break out star. I also remember thinking LVP's new house is smaller than the last, I think Vanderpump actually stated as much. TT is a bright lady and enjoy her site very much. I thought this was a good analysis with a lot of salient points. However, I would agree with you both on the tendency to belittle other opinions (I guess it's her site so she can do what she wants), and especially with your differing analyses regarding Season 1. I remeber before I had seen S1, DaytimeFan on this very thread urging me to watch it because Lisa Vanderpump was so fabulous in it. I definitely think that Production and Kyle probably had in mind before the show started that it might be centered around her as 'central heroine,' but very quickly LVP and Camille were the HWs that the audience couldn't get enough of watching. Kyle had that Smugness Factor (and outing her sister's alcoholism did not look good on her), and Camille was just... wow, lol. So LVP ended up being the HW much of the audience warmed to. Even Andy Cohen said that as soon as they found LVP, Bravo knew they had found the show's lynchpin character. Just talking about this made me realize what an awesome jewel Season 1 was. Sigh. In Andy's book Most Talkative he said that the production company and Bravo worked like crazy to convince LVP to sign on and that when she agreed they knew the show was set and that they "had found [their] Joan Collins"...now that has to irk Kyle, as many of us have always suspected that despite her role in the casting of the show (and as Camille said, Kyle has profit participation in the show...) she's never, ever, been the star of it. Despite TT's analysis that everything boils down to LVP vs. Yolanda, I think Kyle's role in the evolution (and devolution) of the show has mattered an awful lot as well. Absolutely. The backlash that Kyle got after S2 Reunion (when she and Adrienne decided to 'take down' LVP and she served up the "Bobby Fischer" comment) was real. All the seasons following that have been an attempt to make Poor Kyle appear the victim of LVP's unforgiving ways... or of Kim's crazy... or of Brandi's ratchetness. I assume to rebuild her rep with the viewing audience. Eventually, last season, Kyle got back on-side with both LVP and many viewers. TT never addressed that S2 Reunion in her blog piece when IMO it was a huge turning point. It solidified Brandi's S3 presence on the show, and it ushered out Taylor, Camille and, eventually, Adrienne, requiring new sets of HWs (including Yolanda) to come on the show.

Well said! I agree to all of this. Or the south of France. She andJoan Collins could be neighbours.

I don't know if it is... Waiting to see if Reality Tea or Tamara Tattles follows up on this because they do check sources before announcing that a HW has been fired. Personally, I feel a bit sorry for Lisa Rinna. LVP's fans are very defensive of her and I do understand why they went in on Rinna on social media. LVP is being targeted for this Munchausen thing so that the other women can pretend that it was all her Evil Plan and they were just pawns. In addition, LR is so volatile and easily provoked on Twitter. Kathryn did the right thing by immediately pulling herself off SNS when the first wave of hate hit her mid-season (P.S.: I have found Kathryn's clear, no-nonsense blog a breath of fresh air this season). The reason I feel sorry for LR is that we just do not know whether what we are seeing on BH constitutes genuine reactions, or how much is producer-driven drama. How much is scripted and how much is real. IMO, everybody has been talking about Yolanda on the quiet, especially given her contradictory statements and IG postings. However, it soon became clear with filming that OPENLY questioning Yolanda's 'health journey' was going to be a hot mess. So lots of people backtracked and did not want to get caught talking out of turn. Unfortunately, Yol and Erika started a witch-hunt about this and, with the producers hungry for drama to sell the season, the result has been the current clusterfuck of blame. In terms of starting drama, I would imagine the producers' first go-to would be Lipsa and possibly Eileen (just like Brandi was their go-to in previous seasons). BH imo needs to be rested a season and re-tooled. Nobody is coming out of this smelling like a rose. Fortunately for someone like Lisa Vanderpump (who has v successful and thriving businesses), Yolanda Foster Hadid (angling for two alimonies), Erika (married the cash) and Kyle (married to a secure breadwinner), they don't necessarily need the Bravo cheques. But for Rinna and Eileen, the cheques may be a necessary part of their income. (I know Eileen has her Y&R job, but given that she's 50 and on a JFP show, I have to believe that her Emmy win and being on RhOBH has helped her stay on contract and in a SL). I actually don't want to see Rinna fired just because she was doing what the Bravo honchos asked of her and then she got worried that she would be crucified for even raising the M word and backtracked. As Rinna said this season, Yolanda scares the sh*t out of her. She scares me too, Lisa. Bravo needs to be a lot more careful. I don't think Potomac or Dallas are winning any big plaudits out there (and LBR, the 'charity foundations' these chicks head up are covers for tax-avoidance/Ponzi scams -- #FelonsByBravo). RHoOC almost derailed their OG with a fake illness SL (possibly started to sell a herbal supplement on Vicki's website??). RHoA has a walking Assault & Battery lawsuit waiting to happen in the form of PorTHOT (who may or may not have slept with another HW's husband for a discount rate -- if the rumors are to be believed). And now BH has gone completely dark and toxic and it is outright threatening the reputations and livelihoods of most of the women involved. A big rethink is in order. Otherwise your other franchises are going to end up like RHoNJ.

I know. I was just half-joking -- imagining a BH show without LVP in it. It looks a LOT less humorous and sparkly. I don't think the other women represent either of those qualities (though Kyle thinks she is the most hilarious person around. Sadly, Yolanda hasn't got one ounce of humor about her). But right now, everybody on the show seems to want LVP out. Even Andy (if last night's WWHL lovefest with Yol and Erika is to be believed) seemed to be crowing about it.

This season has been all about Yolanda's journey. Yolanda the 'tragic' heroine. It was Yolanda who started the witch-hunt about who was spreading 'rumors' about her illness. Problem was, EVERYBODY including the viewing audience has been questioning its veracity. But, as Lisa Rinna once pointed out, whoever is caught questioning The Illness publicly just looks bad. Which is why she didn't want to be the only one caught holding the bag. Which is why everybody involved is made to somehow look sullied this season. Including LVP. At this point LVP is better off leaving BH and just focusing on VPR for the next season. RHoBH can feature all the ladies ex. LVP and see how well they fare. I guarantee that with Lisa gone, this nest of vipers will get even more toxic and the women will inevitably turn on each other. Especially because Yolanda is such a dictatorial narcissist who doesn't tolerate backtalk from the plebs. Wonder how long Rinna will enjoy that treatment? Or Kathryn? Eileen? Kyle for that matter? It gets pretty boring kowtowing to somebody all the time. I can't wait until the gossip about whether Yol used her illness to get out of the Foster pre-nup no-alimony clause rears its head. It would be interesting if Tom Girardi starts bringing that up on behalf of his good buddy David. Rinna will be on that in a second. Kyle, Eileen, et al will probably turn on poor Kathryn, just because. It will be a mess. And then for the season finale, Yolanda can host an organic almonds/Lyme gala, and LVP can sweep in on David Foster's arm (he's replaced Mo as her new BFF) in a floor-length gold lamé dress. They can all look on in jealousy as they talk about their amazing journeys and how real they all keep it and how fake-happy they are. Or BH can just retool this mess lol.

I still maintain that Cynthia Watros has been the ONLY right thing Jill Farren Phelps has done since sidling her way onto the Y&R set. What a presence! Still... 1998 was a long time ago in fashion terms. Cynthia is def channeling Gwyneth Paltrow's Oscar dress. (Can you believe GP won an Oscar once? I can't).

I keep hearing that they've won yet more music shows! Go BtoB! I was sad to hear about Minzy. I blame that old fart YG who keeps great idols locked in the dungeon to spend away their youth while he drools all over Big Bang and iKON. NO offense to either group, I like both, but YG has more in its stable than these two groups -- though you wouldn't know it. 2NE1 were such an awesome girl group and YG literally pissed away their success and opportunities. No wonder Minzy got fed up and left. Over in SM's dungeon, my lil ultimate bias Kai got caught in a 'scandal' -- he is dating Krystal from F(x). Poor little boo is getting a shitload of hate from k-netizens.

The smile on Erika's face when Lipsa was doing the most... spoke volumes. Kyle looked absolutely taken aback by Lipsa's latest accusation. This is going to be a horrendous Reunion for LVP, make no mistake. Yolanda has got what she wanted, two years after her last failed attempt. As for the fashion-- Erika: Las Vegas showgirl. Yolanda: Mistook hosiery for a dress. Lipsa: Job applicant for assistant position at CAA. Kathryn: CAA agent interviewing Lipsa. Kyle: Beach cover-up -- without the bikini underneath. Eileen: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!!!!!! Welcome to the 1998 Daytime Emmy Awards!!!!! LVP def borrowed Erika's sequinned dress, Cheap. I like that sequined look on both of them -- looks like liquid gold.

RHoBH: I don't really have the functioning braincells left to dissect the mess OVER SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED OFF CAMERA AND WHICH NOBODY CAN CREDIBLY VALIDATE. I think we all know LVP said something. But we also know Lipsa took it upon herself to say the word on camera, then fessed up to Yols, then backtracked on a whole bunch of things by Eileen's instigation. The irony is that over half the viewing audience believes that Yolanda is faking or exaggerating her illness anyway! It's so funny how these BH women are convinced that they appear a certain way while filming. They try to control that perception at all costs during filming. Nobody wants to look like the meanie questioning Yolanda's illness! However, then the show is heavily edited and broadcast six months down the line and the audience are like *SHRUG* "Another Fake Illness by Bravo." Needless to say, Eileen looks absolutely awful in this scenario. Her snapping at Kathryn on her birthday to shut up was the least of it. I am honestly heartbroken at how bad she appears on this show -- bitter, humorless, malicious. I really hope this does not harm her career on Y&R or Days. Lipsa was a dumb idiot for STILL going after LVP and Kyle about this. All this IMO is an extension of her need to please Eileen. Basically, Lipsa needs an audience and she will do whatever they ask. One thing, though: Lipsa spoke the TRUTH when she said that this was a fight between LVP and Yolanda for Queen Bee status on this show, and everybody else is just their pawns. Kyle is playing her favourite role, that of self-sacrificing victim. It's funny that the others are so worried by her 'abusive' friendship with Lisa. It is clear from the footage that she is saying one thing to LVP ("I love you like a sister!!!") and then in the VTs she is all "Lisa lies and throws me under the bus all the time. Poor me!" LVP and Kyle play each other; they know they are playing each other and are GOOD with playing each other. LVP gets to be HBiC and Kyle gets to be Suffering Victim. This season, Kyle allied herself with LVP, believing that was a safe place to be after years of being unpopular. But as filming progressed, she sensed that the tide was turning against the Queen, so she sidled up to Soapy and Sudsy [(c) Lisa Vanderpump] and pulled the victim thing again. Kyle is a follower who basically makes a beeline for whoever she assesses is most popular and powerful at any one given time. I love Kathryn so much this episode. She has really grown on me and I hope she is back next season. She is a breath of fresh air and common sense. I could have watched Kathryn + Erika + the Glam Squad do makeovers all episode TBH. I like Erika too, even though she hates LVP and is Yol's henchwoman. The contrast between ultra luxurious Dubai and Yolanda, Brandi and Kim's budget picnic could not have been greater. Yolanda's tiresome lecture about how these two rachet batwings are REAL, HONEST friends was belied by her utter lack of humor regarding Brandi's jokes in her direction. She looked like she wanted to punch Kim after she spilled kool-aid on her purse. Kim looked like she'd never met Yols before in her entire life. Yolanda just uses them to burnish her non-existent halo.

Bless you for that link! I have been in withdrawal from RHoMelbourne! The women ARE obsessed with Gina, simply because Gina seizes every opportunity that RHoMelbourne has afforded her and is doing lots of different endorsements, businesses and projects outside of the show. So the others are a bit jealous because RHoM is all they have. Jackie has been especially strident in calling out Gina on every little thing. Having said that, I like that EVERYBODY gets called out on the show, not just Gina, and sometimes Gina can play fast and loose with the truth and needs to be called out every now and then. Personally, if I had been Gamble, I would have felt a little hurt, too. The scenes with her dad suffering dementia were very touching, however. I liked that Gina shed some light on a reality for a lot of women in their 40s and t50s -- having to look after their parents. Gina's mom definitely could pass for her sister though! I swear I am IN LOVE with two husbands on this show: Chyka's Bruce and Gamble's Wolfpup. The speeches Rick and his son gave at the wedding party were incredibly touching. It really shows what a warm-hearted woman Gamble is overall. RHoNY: Oy, those taglines. Not one of them is "Throw me to the wolves, and I shall return leading the pack!" or "When people tell me I'm fake, I know they're just pulling my leg" level. Dorinda's is a poor man's version of Camille's S2 tagline, and I am just about done with wine or alcohol-related tags for Ramona. We get it. She's a lush.

Thanks! I'm glad it's not just me that had trouble understanding what on earth they were talking about. LOL I remeber the Grillo-Moniz gossip and it sounded rather tiltilating! The Eileen-Vinnie affair less so. Oh, I think the dislike predates RHoBH. It might go back to before Yolanda & Mohamed's divorce. LVP was always MO's friend. She is the happy-go-lucky restaurant empresario who enjoys the nightlife and having a great lifestyle (a bit like Mo, I'll bet). Mo seems to think she hangs the moon. Meanwhile, Yolanda is the earth mother type who eats organic and has a controlling streak. I'll bet LVP and Yolanda had nothing in common. LVP is possibly not a fan of being condescended to or talked at. And Yolanda probably despised her friendship with Mohamed.

LVP's blog is indeed a thing of beauty. Although I thought Lisa Rinna's blog was pretty good as a defense, too. Something I don't understand, though: what exactly was the bone of contention in Tuesday's episode? Is it that "soap actress LR" [(c) Lisa Vanderpump] claims that LVP chased her after Kyle was out of earshot to say "Why don't you drag Kyle into it?" ? As in "Why don't you mention Kyle and get her in trouble with the viewers and Yolanda" ? And is LVP saying that her words got misconstrued and she in fact said to Lipsa "I thought you were going to drag Kyle into it" i.e.: "Gosh, thank goodness you didn't mention Kyle!" ? I don't know why I am even asking, but I thought I would in case I got it wrong. Like I said, I don't even understand what everybody is arguing about. It looks to me like Kyle, LVP and Lipsa (and every sane person I know who watches RHoBH) have been questioning whether Yolanda is using her illness for media attention. They got caught. Lipsa feels like she is the only one being punished by Queen (in her own mind) Yolymity for it. And she doesn't want to take the fall alone. Lyle are basically saying "Well, at least we didn't accuse Yol of having Munchausen's!" And Eileen is pushing Lipsa to go after LVP because she wants to expose LVP's 'manipulations.' Basically because she doesn't like her and wants to pay her back for asking about the world's most boring affair. Sounds to me like Yolanda and her henchwoman-by-proxy Erika are pulling the strings and running the whole show here.

This RHoBH episode had some visually stunning moments. The hotel palaces, the visiting of Dubai and the desert, the Vogue-quality selfies with the falcon, the amazing outdoor meals... Everything looks glamorous and amazing and truly exotic. Just like how RHoBH should be. No other franchise has this level of money, power, celebrity, locales and glamour! None! Despite being an LVP girl for life, she came across badly in this episode. I love her but I know who she is. She is kind of the Alexis Colby of this franchise (because British accented brunette = EVIL!!!), except with heart and a wicked sense of humor. She plays the game, and plays it well. Which is why the producers love her. I have no doubt that LVP did all the things Lisa Rinna claims she did. Of course she did. This is a TV SHOW. Bravo WANT RATINGS. LVP knows her Yulin dog march only goes so far in bringing viewers and social media chatter. Kyle knows too, because she learnt the hard way what it means to come up against LVP's colossal popularity. Kyle doesn't care as long as she can stay playing the Victim. Erika has no problem playing the anti-LVP bitch this season. She doesn't care either. But Lipsa and Eileen still seem to think this is somehow real and important when it is literally THIS: Basically the entire issue acknowledges that producers and HWs manufacture story and stir the pot for ratings. The argument also shows that pretty much everybody (except possibly Erika and Kathryn) thinks that Yolanda is a big phony, or horribly misdiagnosed and suffering from bigger mental problems than 'ze Lyme-brain.' Yolanda must be on cloud nine right now. Even thousands of miles away, she is commanding story and the centre of all these women's conversations. And everything is going her way. LVP is the Evil One, Mohammed is on the outs with LVP, David Foster is still sticking to the script re: "amicable divorce," and I'll bet Reunion glossed over her fakery, nastiness and disdainful attitude and became a total anti-LVP fest.

"He's a MAN, he's never supposed to turn around... like, she didn't slap him! She didn't hit him! She just... she didn't even call him out his name! So y'all are just pacifying it like he just didn't do anything and I cannot believe y'all acting like that was ok!" "I just want y'all to understand, like, at the end of the day, Kenya do some crazy stuff. But in this situation -- no, I wasn't with y'all earlier in the day on the boat. But even watching that back, you HAVE to say that dude was saying some crazy stuff. Not just about her, about everybody. And regardless of whether you like Kenya or not -- and regardless of whether she should have said anything as he was walking out the door -- he should NEVER have AGGRESSIVELY turned around, start throwing up gang signs, called her all kind of bitches and like he was going to do something to her! [Sheree: "And he was, probably."] It shouldn't have happened!" "WHY Y'ALL BITING YOUR TONGUE NOW?" I am more convinced than ever of the righteousness of Kandi's words. No man should aggressively attempt to physically attack a woman, ever. Nor no woman. *side-eyes Poorsha* I'm surprised nobody mentioned the fact that both Glenn and his 'aunt' Tammy looked coked out of their minds. Porsha lost me this Reunion (and I was kind of coming around to her this season). The fact that she would play the victim to "Cynthia's assault" is ridiculous She is a dumb thug who beat the crap (or attempted to in the case of Kenya and Cynthia) out of three women that we know of. She is giving it the most at this Reunion in order to retain her peach but honestly, I think she and Phaedra have brought the franchise down (not that I watch RH for etiquette lessons -- which is why I don't watch Potomac -- or how to treat your friends). They should be let go, although I know this will never happen. Porsha inexplicably has lots of fans (I assume due to Dish Nation) and Carlos King adores her for some reason. Meanwhile, Andy adores Ayden (he is wonderful of course) and Carlos is probably waiting for the Feds to arrest Phaedra so Bravo can film it.

Jiyoon is an awesome rapper and vocalist! It is such a great contrast with Gayoon who has very sweet, ballady vocals, and then Jiyoon comes out with this sultry toughness. I always thought Jiyoon should rap more but (and I say this as somebody who loves Hyuna) they have to gave Hyuna bae something to do in 4M! Can't wait to watch her on Unpretty Rapstar as I really liked what I've seen of that show. BtoB are awesome and I love that they have a beautiful song worthy of their collective vocal talent. Looking on Omona, One Hallyu and a few other kpop websites, the song is attracting some buzz from the ground up. K fans who wouldn't normally follow BtoB closely seems to like the song too. I hope it becomes a sleeper hit and maybe wins a few Music Show awards (we know BtoB are capable of winning those!). Speaking of CL, WTF already? When is she going to release this US album?? Months ago she posted on her IG a shot from filming a music vid (she had a gold headpiece, it all looked very Cleopatra-esque) but since then... nothing.

There are times when Kandi is so clear-eyed, so effective in her argument, so right on, that her sheer common sense obliterates all the tired stupidity thrown at it. This is one of those times. Bravo Kandi!

Fair enough, and knowing kpop, very wise. P.s.: I hope i didnt upset you with my question. kpop has a habit of letting the littlest transgression or rumor blow out of control, so I understand that you don't want to participate in that.

Camille, in retrospect, was awesome. She was the only true 'Hollywood Wife' (RIP Jackie Collins!) to ever grace a franchise that should have been filled with them. And her season 2 redemption - amazing. I would love a Camille return. Im surprised Jeana didn't make the top 10 - I'd love for her to return to OC. Love her or hate her, Camille was a perfect Hollywood Wife and compulsive viewing during that first season (PLUS the houses and lifestyle were 100% legit Impressive Money level). She had so many great, self-absorbed one liners, but at the same time she was edited to be the Bitch (in order to make Kyle look good, I might add). Even though she felt she had to do a PR 180 in season 2, Camille in S1 was strangely human in her delusions, spot-on in her shade and reading of the other women and relatable in the way she tried to hold it together while Kelsey publicly shat on her from a great height.. Honestly, she was more sinned against than sinning. Camille was also one of the few housewives to talk honestly and openly about her less-than-perfect marriage and divorce at Reunion, while still keeping it relatively classy. It makes for a contrast with many HWs who pretend everything is flowers and rainbows right up to the bitter end, then refuse to discuss it **side-eyes Ramona** I'm surprised about Jeana too but I guess Gretchen was too busy clicking on her picture to worry about La Keough.

IA Cheap about the song -- I like the mellow 70s vibe of it and the styling has been gorgeous. However, the song is a bit muted for a first single. I guess that is the whole point of this Velvet mini album, though -- lots of swoony ballads and slow jams. Hey Cheap, have you kept up on what is going on with Beast and Hyunseung?

I could go along with that. Gretchen has been off the OC long enough for me to forget why she annoyed me in the first place, and if it means Tamra gets a smackdown, I'm ok with that. Lizzie is awesome, as far as I am concerned. Please let me briefly celebrate the amazingness that was Camille in gif form (P.S.: dang, there were about a million gifs of Camille dancing)
