KKL? Katherine Kelly Lang? Just messing with you Antoyne Kelly Killoren Bensimon right? I loved Scary Island but keeping Kelly on the following season was a mistake. She should have gone after what was clearly some kind of mental break or drug-infused meltdown. I suspect she was bi-polar but refused to acknowledge she had a problem. And of course the best thing about Scary Island (apart from PregnantBethenny's VT: "Bye loon!") was Jill showing up out of nowhere afterwards. "SUR proyzzzzzzzzz everybody!" Everybody's soapy reaction shot was like: Bethenny: Alex: Ramona:

Catching up on the last two-and-a-half pages of this thread has been more entertaining than the final half of this season's RHOA. I don't think any of these women are queens but one major reason we watch them is for their flaws as well as their triumphs. And nobody encapsulates that mix of flaws and triumph more than Nene, so I guess for that reason I have to take her as I find her. Same with Kenya, Cynthia, Phae Phae and all those others. [There was a point with Nene during the Pillow Talk episodes where I felt completely turned off. I felt she instigated things and it just boiled over out of control. There comes a point with people -- maybe when men are involved -- when you can't keep poking the bear because the bear will get out of its cage and give you a left hook. She never really took responsibility for some of that (pretty much half the group was messy and turnt up tho) and while I know Nene will never admit to wrongdoing in anything, I was disappointed that she didn't for the sake of the group. Especially once husbands and friends got involved]. I guess I should take the same attitude with BH and people like Brandi, Kim on one side and Lisa V and Eileen on the other. For some reason, I find them much more polarizing, I worship one pair while the meanness and toxicity of another pair really turn me off. So I feel you guys who support loyally and tirelessly your ladies on Atlanta. I am watching S5 (Africa trip season) and while I loved Marlo at first that season, and loved the drama she brought with her to SA, I was kind of turned off by her materialistic attitude in a setting where many people (mostly black) live with soooo much less and often in highly dangerous environments. In some ways she would have been perfect to hold a peach, though... for a while. I think she would have pulled a Brandi, however, and would have gone to far and burned herself out.

I was going to do a long-ass post but you took the words right out of my mouth. DF STOPPPPPPPP ITTTTTTTTTT Speaking the TRUTH like that will only get Kim riled up about her iron-clad sobriety. When she's not too busy playing Kathy against Kyle and defending her dangerous dog against mauling children and elders, of course. By the way, did anybody catch the absolutely epic clip of Lisa V in the break, talking about her lady parts, standing up and saying "Well, this girl is talking her p***y to the Ladies' Room" and then sashaying out of there like Alexis Colby after a smackdown? I wish I had that gif, I would erect an altar to it and worship its fierceness. I don't want to laugh at Kim. This is sad and depressing because it highlights what a deluded state she is in now. It's probably easy to blame the enabler Brandi, but Kim is 50 (I know, I was shocked too -- for the wrong reasons). She handled herself in a mean way at Reunion but she came at the women and was adept (with a little hep from Andy) at dominating the conversation. She is struggling with sobriety but she is not a baby. She needs to accept responsibility for her actions. The one thing she was unable to do at Reunion was accept blame or responsibility for anything. And Andy and the others still held back from really giving it to her. One person's sobriety cannot rest entirely on another person's shoulders, as Kyle probably well knows. I only hope this is her Aha Moment and she truly is able to pull herself out of this dark hole she has gotten herself in. As far as the show is concerned, it is not helping her or doing Brandi any favors. Both need to go and reflect and be on their own. Their loneliness is what keeps them acting cray and staying on this show, lapping up the attention they think their "millions" of fans dote on them. I haven't watched RHOA the last 4-5 weeks because I got kind of bored. Is it worth catching up? I ask this because I actually want to watch Reunion now. It looks good. I actually feel for Nene because so much of her anger and jealousy must stem back to her abandonment issues with her mom. Her relationships with women in general are all sourced to this. Porsha lawd. Kenya I want to love but it's her smugness, I guess, that makes me want to see her take it as much as she can dish out. She's smart and funny but she's not the STAH she thinks she is and she isn't Nene level yet, as much as we might hate to admit that. Phaekdra, lawwwwwwwwd. Kandi isn't perfect but her reads on people are truthful and on point. Todd needs to sit his ass down trying to be the next HW. Peter already has that role and he isn't going to give that up, even for his bro! Cynthia's hair... ok, I like the concept. I love the waviness. But it is too damn much. It looks like the stiff wire wigs they used to put on mannequins at JC Penney. I am watching Africa Trip season and wow I finally get the glory that is Marlo. I really wish she was a HW on this show tbh. She makes drama happen.

I can absolutely see why Andy wanted her back and how important she is to this franchise's last hurrah. Plus this is good for her. Bethenny has control over this situation. She will not come out of this season looking bad unless she does something really, really stupid. Isn't Dorinda a relief, though? We still have the whole season to go and maybe she will try too hard and ruin her momentum here, but I think it is a relief to see a New York face looking like a face and not human death mask. Plus she spoke a lot of support and common sense with Ramona and I really appreciated that she brought out a non-cray, non-frenetic side of Pinot Bug Eyes lol. Heather is a little too "I am always right." Plus she gets aggravated easily and, unless you are Dorothy Sbornak of The Golden Girls, aggravated is always going to make you look bitter on TV. We will see. So far we have barely seen her tbh. I am so glad you agree about Eileen Davidson. She is common sense, no fuss and calls a spade a spade. I am so impressed because that is how she struck me in interviews -- reserved but fundamentally unpretentious. I was so worried she'd either get drowned out by shrieking that only dolphins can hear, or come across as shady or fake. Luckily she kept her integrity. Also -- Vince peeping out of the garage window at Brandi fighting Kyle -- arguably THE MOMENT of the season, non?

ETA: OMG -- we posted around the same time! And about similar topics! First of all, who is that in your dp? Thank you for answering my question. I think I recognize Dujoon in your sig! I am all over this EXO comeback. EXO have been slaying the live shows and I really enjoy when they rotate the second song. Exodus is extremely catchy and hopefully this will be the next release, but I think El Dorado will be that one. In the meantime, EXO have won six out of six award shows, including another Inkiyago today! Minseok channelled Boy George Chanyeol spent time with da laydeez and fondled fruit -- and IA, CY's voice just gets better and better. I love the richness he adds to the vocal line. In addition to CY, D.O. and Chen, I think Baekhyun's vocals (on the album especially) have been a standout. Plus he's so good at performing. Obviously I am all over Kai's 'Greaser Mechanic/Gigolo' look (and his fake earring -- see below), but honestly he is so pretty and his dancing has been on point this cb. You know I am a serious stan when his hair looks like that. The sad thing is not seeing Lay or Tao in promotions. Tao apparently seriously damaged his foot at these Idol Oly,mpics (don't ask) and cannot walk without crutches. Lay meanwhile is filming a movie in China with Zhang Ziyi, one of the country's biggest stars. At least I hope that's it. SM have financed a Chinese composing studio for Lay so I don't think he will be leaving anytime soon as he is ambitious and doing a ton of solo projects. However, after KrisHan, I still worry. Glad he came back for Inkiyago today! He was one of the standouts in the music video of CMB too. This is from another performance but... Chen, boo, what are you even doing? In other news.... Taeyang got injured in LA -- where I assume a BB music video is being filmed. Apparently it is not threatening to the comeback so hopefully he will be on his feet soon. Meanwhile, GD is rocking some 70s sideburns. I don't know how I feel about those. BtoB deserve so much good fortune. They work so hard but don't get nearly the buzz or marketing might of a group like EXO, Big Bang, BTS or GOT7. I feel like next comeback they need to take a big risk with the concept and go somewhere off-center with the look and sound. Speaking of Got7 -- Jackson Wang cleans up pretty good when he takes off his snapback and puts on a tuxedo (below, right)! Damn Kikwang. Work that body, honey! He really is the visual I guess! Is that Dongwonie on the drums? OMG *swooooooooooooooooooooooon* His jawline is to die for.

OMG this epitomized the spoiled entitlement and fakeassery of Kim. I am citing from memory but didn't it kind of go like this? Kim: *ramble ramble* *backtrack* *threaten* *ramble* .... and I already apologized to Eileen--- Eileen: No you didn't. Kim: Yes I did. Eileen: No, Vince and I never received an apology for the way you behaved at our house. Kim: *long exasperated sigh* ..... Fine. I'm sorry, Eileen. I don't have anything to say about Part 2 of Reunion because Kim and Brandi were just ridiculous in their lame ass justifications for their behaviour. Kim, as I have already said countless times, is emotionally manipulative, selfish, and a bully. Brandi is pretty much the same only with less braincells. Both say the most awful things to people, then squeal about being "bullied" and "ganged up" by the other women when they get called out. They are delusional because they will never accept that they are anything less than poor, put-upon, innocent victims. I feel sorry for their family and respective caregivers. Eileen and Lisa Rinna are on the Lisa V level of fabulous, especially my lovely Eileen who I have fangirled over since I was a child. It is a great when an actor proves you right in your decision to stan them, lol. I hope these three women return next season but if they don't, I will totally understand and respect why not. With Kim and Brandi clinging on to the relevancy wagon for all it is worth, the show is nasty and toxic. How I wish they could be replaced by Camille, Adrienne and Taylor. RHoNY: I wasn't that excited about Bethenny returning as her strident chicken squawk voice is like nails-on-a-chalkboard for me. And while I see through the whole woe-is-me-I-is-homeless-at-the-Marriott PR stunt she is pulling, it honestly feels like she never left the show. She brings dynamism and drama. Loved her scene with LuAnn (who I am also glad got to hold an apple this season). The person I liked the most this episode was Ramona. Obviously Ramona is on her own PR campaign but I think she is genuinely devastated about her marriage being over. I am sure she and Mario had an arrangement when they married -- she said as much in one of her VTs when she indicated that she could no long look the other way -- but I also think Ramona was deeply swept off her feet by Mario and loved being his wife. Mario must have been even more charming and outgoing when they met and as somebody with borderline social awkwardness issues, she must have been attracted to the guy who is always the life of the party. She seems genuinely quiet and resigned. Her decision not to confide in delulu fantasist Sonja is COMPLETELY understandable. I also liked her chemistry with Dorinda. Their friendship seems legit. Dorinda is so far a good find for NY. I wasn't sure at first as this is not somebody swimming in boundless wealth, dripping in jewels and with startling facelifts and boob jobs. Dorinda looks her age and she feels very, very New York, living in a comfortable, rather than overly opulent, Upper East Side high-rise. In fact her apartment looked like Jill Zarin's. She strikes me as an Italian-American New Yorker who has faced tragedy in her life and is still vulnerable about it but is not ashamed to show it. Too often in NYC, women put on a hard face so as not to appear weak. I liked how normal she seemed. And her bf too. Madame Paulette is an institution in Manhattan. I used to love Carole and Heather but they got a little smug at the end of last season and I wonder if they will get the bitch edit this year. Carole is lazy and I don't know if I need a plot about her struggling to make a deadline tbh. Heather is still fab IMO but I have a feeling Bethenny is already silently gunning to make her irrelevant. Speaking of irrelevant -- is New Boobs' SL gonna be her new boobs?

I love the album tbh. I always love EXO's music because that is how I came into this group -- via the music I couldn't get out of my head. CMB is an ear worm and has totally grown on me. I too love their comeback stages thus far, especially today's Inkiyago recording where they all look non-greasy and fluffy and clean! CMB is a fun jam. Out of the album, I too like Exodus, Transformer, Hurt and El Dorado. But my heart is feeling the ballads too. My Answer is def old skool but Baekhyun, D.O. and Suho slay. IMO, Suho's voice is at its most beautiful in the song Beautiful. I really feel he takes it another level there. My fave song on the album is What If. It's a grower but now I can't stop listening to it. I think it is on a par with What is Love tbh. Oh Big Bang. YG are handling this supposed comeback so messily. Yes there is a new girl in RV and I think she is only 15 or 16! In the mv I can't really tell her apart from the others, but I have seen some backstage fancams and she looks cute, fun and feisty. When it comes to RV, my ears are always slayed by Wendy's vocals, and my eye is always on Joy and Seulgri. Joy and Seulgri have distinctive looks and faces that exude charisma IMO. They are the stars of RV for me. And I am so pleased that this comeback has been embraced by fans! I love the slightly spooky girl-pop concept, even though some of those girls look less good with blonde hair than others. Well would you look at that. I am almost stanning a k pop girl group!

Finally watched BH. Kim is just awful. Whereas I sometimes feel sorry for Brandi (sorry that she is so self-destructive and unable to admit that her downfall is entirely her own doing), I feel nothing for Kim, not even pity. She is a nasty, mean woman. The way she launched into that pre-prepared speech about how she loved her sister/was in a good place without her in her life was emotional manipulation at its best. I know Mr. Vixen won't like me saying this and maybe he/she can convince me otherwise, but -- there is something evil in the way Kim thrives on seeing her sister hurt by her words. And Kyle is hardly my favorite HW but it's gotten to the point where Kim is kicking a lame puppy to see how hard it can still mewl. It is ugly to watch. And it makes Kim an ugly person inside. I commend Kyle on keeping it together and not uttering a word (leaving Kim to keep repeating "I'm in a good place! I'm in a good place! nestled amongst my prescription pills!" -- I believe her. She is in a GREAT place right now -- for her) until the end when she said "When you are ready for an honest conversation, I will be happy to talk." That was the best comeback of Kyle's on the show because otherwise she just does not have the wit or the smarts to lay on the zingers. I feel so bad for Yolanda and everything she said in Reunion I honestly believe came from a good place. I hope she gets well soon and retutrns to BH. She adds much-needed balance to the show. TBH Brandi is really lucky to have a friend like Yolanda because she needs a mother figure. And she desperately wants one. As illustrated by her intense desire to be with Lisa V. I think Brandi is bipolar. I don't think the 'partying' is helping that. And her chip on her shoulder about being wronged/the outsider is pathologically large. The way she longs for Lisa's approval or even just attention is intense. She wants Lisa on almost a sexual level. I don't think she is necessarily in lust with Lisa V but it is a more a manifestation of possessing her totally, completely, body and soul, her best friend, her mother figure, her mentor, her enabler. And while Lisa did play with Brandi's need to have her friendship, Brandi's unwillingness to realize what it was about the slap that killed the relationship is another example of B's pathological inability to meaningfully take responsibility. I hate that Kyle loves to play victim all the time -- but Brandi is the same way. You know what it was about the slap and the wine toss that upset Lisa and Eileen? It was the fact that underpinning the worship or need for approval is hate and jealousy. They felt that with both actions, it was deeply personal on Brandi's part. That it was hatred mixed with something slightly loving and obsessional and that's why it unsettled them. I am probably reading too much into this. I am going to say something nice and say that Brandi's hair looks good, LOL. Kim vs Lisa Rinna. Honestly, I don't really care. Kim is just going after who she thinks is the weak link. She doesn't engage with Eileen anymore because she knows Eileen can best her without breaking a sweat. I am really ready for Eileen to read Brandi but especially Kim tbh. Kim is riding roughshod over everybody, and Andy and the other HWs are just letting her.

Chin tuck Brow lift Nose tweaked Major botox on the forehead Fillers in her cheeks She also lost a lot of weight. I am going to go out on a limb and say that Nene's mom hair looks somewhat decent on her.

This is what I need to do: download the latest Big Bang concert and watch it and truly appreciate. Have you ever watched Superman Returns? Tablo is in it, he has a little girl called Haru who is BFFs with Taeyang and has the biggest crush on GD. It is supercute because GD is very shy about it too. Anyway... it happened. EXO's Call Me Baby mv is OUT I... don't know what to say about the styling. The song is a bop and I love the cars. But lawd Xiumin has a top knot and Kai thinks he is living the thug life with that grease pit for a hairdo. Obviously I would take him however whenever but... woah. His dancing is still on point though. But it's clear that in mv terms, Beast's 12.30 and Red Velvet's Ice Cream Cake are more interesting. I'm not going to touch on EXO's Overdose and Growl As far as songs are concerned, there are plenty I like but this one (What If) I am listening to a lot. Here is the M version:

RESPONDING TO YOUR DISTRESS CALL CHEAP I was away on a work trip this past week or so and couldn't access this thread on my phone. Too many pics and YT vids! My phone is such crap. But I have been keeping up with the imminent comeback! I am so excited! All the teasers have been released now. They were so cinematic, I was really impressed. There wasn't really a dud one in the pack, although obviously I had my favourites. Kai (goes without saying) filmed in my 'hometown'. But stylistically, Suho and Baekhyun's were probably my faves, with Sehun and Kai close seconds. I found them quite powerful. And then there is the music.... Well, I have only heard a couple of leaked songs so far. Call Me Baby was officially released yesterday, and it is a jam. I don't know whether I prefer K version or M tbh: http://youtu.be/Gjye0aoRQFc http://youtu.be/-xcpiFPG6xM It doesn't have the impact of Overdose which was so original and like an electric shock for me, as a newcomer to k pop. But Overdose was intense and emotionally draining, especially after KrisHan left. But it is a bop and light and happy. I think this is what EXO and the fandom needs after last year, lol. And Kai's opening in K --- buuum buuum buuum buuum buuum -- making me feel some kind of way! This coupled with Red Velvet ( I *love* Ice Cream Cake and Automatic. Plus they got a new member!) and SNSD, Shinee and SuJu getting releases this year PLUS SM Rookies means that SM are letting YG know that they do not play. YG vs SM this year is going to be INSANE and I hope that means lots of great music. Especially from Big Bang. BTW SM Rookies did a quick teaser dance and I really love it. I wasn't looking for a new group to stan but... if this song is part of their album, I am intrigued: Finally -- I still think Crazy by 4Minute is one of my fave songs of the year so far. I am so glad they started strong! And I am really impressed by HyunA.

Rinna and Yolanda look amazing. Vanderpump looks imperial. Kyle looks good but I've seen her wear that red before. Kim (apart from the hair) looks surprisingly good in fuschia. Brandi's hair is great but her dress looks like full-body Spanx. Eileen's hair and hoop earrings are so wrong and she looks like she is going to Prom. Her Bond Girl Amsterdam hair was flawless. But whatever. She's a Queen in my eyes.

tbh I am resentful that they filmed Reunion so early. The heat will be on Brandi but IMO the last few episodes really have exposed Kim for the dessicated, mean manipulator that she is. Unfortunately, we probably won't get Andy or the public's tweets relating to that aired at all. And I know it sounds like I am picking on a helpless addict -- there is addiction, but there is also being accountable for your own meanness and bullying, and I think Kim needs to be called to the carpet about that.

My server blocked a certain downloading site *cough* for a while, so I couldn't watch BH or Atl. I seriously saw my life pass before my eyes when that happened. I think I am good now lol but I am still catching up. I have lots of feeeeeeeelings about the last two episodes of BH. I want to feel some sympathy for Kim and her struggle, but I think the only struggle she is truly facing these days is the knowledge that where she once was able to bully and threaten the women into silence, she can no longer do. Even with Brandi as her Cujo. Brandi is self-destructive and fucked up. She wants Lisa V's love and affection so badly that like a child she will act up if she doesn't get it. Lisa's "No, no, Brandi, that is not ok, hitting is not ok" as she put her hands on Brandi's was actually quite moving. Brandi didn't realize it but this is the moment their relationship ended. The fact that she was unable to listen to the other HW's kinder words about her (after she had been so heinous and petty with them) and their words of advice made me feel bad for her. She will forever kick the people who genuinely want to help her. Lisa R disappointed me by backing down and the "I love yous." Eileen OTOH is a Queen and deserves respect for dealing with the whole thing with intelligence and strength. Seeing poor Yolanda in such a bad way and trying to find resolution with the ladies made me really sad. I loved Yolanda these episodes. I really hope she finds a cure or some help with this debilitating disease. Her health is the most important thing. Her family in Holland look the real deal btw. Her strugfgle makes all the other bs look ridiculous. I hope Kathy Hilton watches this episode and sees the way Kim has played her and Kyle against the other. I hope it opens her eyes. I respect Kathy wanting to protect Kim but to passively blame Kyle (which I think she might have done) for Kim's problems is wrong.

Um ok well here goes lol I just finished Season 4 and omg! I get why you guys loved this show so much! First of all I need to give props to Season 3 Reunion when Kim was lip syncing to Tardy for the Party and Nene, Sheree, Lisa and Phaedra sat listening to that mess stoney-faced. Andy looked sort of awkward bopping to that song in his seat. Kim amuses me sometimes but it is kind of "love to hate." She really is an old professional ho, waving that ring Big Poppa "gave" to her and pretending she was mortally injured at Sheree's art thing. Season 4 just confirmed what a lazy ass she is, slopping around looking for a cigarette. And now she's hooked up with Straw for Brains aka Troyyyyyyy. This is somebody who learned quickly that it takes less effort to make money on your back than it does standing up. And that Thomas guy in Miami definitely gives me vibes of someone who left money on the side of the bed after his hour with her was up. Nene is SO JEALOUS of Kim's 'fame' and it just confirms how she cannot stand the idea of anybody outshining her ever. Having said that, her Kim shade made me alugh so hard. Everytime Lawrence or Kandi got up to sing, she was like "See, they are real singers. Unlike Keeem." Also, the scenes when she went back to Athens and met her bio daddy were gold. You can tell Nene grew up feeling abandoned by her parents, and her aunt was the only one who gave her love and attention. When she saw her bio dad from afar and said "Bryson looks just like him" and her voice caught, I felt for her. I didn't get the hoopla surrounding Lawrence until this season. He is awesome. I liked Dwight too until he got thirsty in front of camera and tried to be the next HW. Derek looks like a chubby gerbil in heels. Just sayin'. Sheree annoyed THE [!@#$%^&*] out of me the first three sesaons. She is wound up so tight and that I Have So Much Money and Class BS, I can't. However, in Season 4 she really showed a more real side to herself, with her kids and calling Cynthia out to "get out from under Nene's ass." I also really love how real Kandi is. How she survived that road trip with Kim, I will never know. Cynthia is a scared little rabbit but I do love how she styles herself. Her dress at Ayden's christening was ON POINT. Peter's red eyes at the wedding were begging for an Oscar, an Emmy and a couple of Grammys thrown in. I still LMAO when I remember Nene growling "The darker the bear, the sweeter the honey, Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm." She really has a crush on Peter, and that's probably one of the reasons why her friendship with PeThia went south so fast when she turned on them. Phaedra was great the first few episodes but it became clear what a fake and con artist she is. Lying about her baby's due date? Obviously she didn't want anyone to know she got pregnant when she was [!@#$%^&*] Apollo at his halfway house. Everything about her is shady and a giant lie. And Apollo was trying hard to be sweetness and light early on but you could sense how sinister he can get even back then. Ayden is perfection of course. Can't wait to watch Season 4 Reunion and Season 5 again to see Marlo up close! I will watch New Atlanta soon and BH, but I am surprised at the love and support Kim Richards is getting. Y'all are allowed your own opinion, of course, and I will always respect it. But I have such a viscerally bad reaction to her this season. Never have I wanted to see a HW get her comeuppance so bad! Drug addiction or no. I empathise with her struggle, but Kim is just mean and manipulative, and it's more than just the drugs talking. Just my two cents. Anyhoo, no doubt she will get a free pass at everything and be back next season to stink it up with which ever new HW comes along.

omg Cheap. DEAD: at "whorepocrasy" I am still watching RHoA, BH and Melbourne. This thread moves so fast by the time I get to download and watch the episodes, that I feel 2 pages behind everybody else and therefore weird about posting about 'old news.' Doesn't always stop me, though. I am also watching Seasons 2-4 of RHoA for the first time and wanted to post here but that would really be old news! (FTR: Kim is a lazy-ass escort 'girl', Sheree is a uptight fantasist, and Phaedra was 1,000% faking it from the get go).

Yep. No scandals, no more defections, I just want a great song, great choreography and great hair.

omg -"Ahm da king. Ahm da king. T.O.P Ahm da king." -"Shirrup." I don't know about you but I am anxiously awaiting EXO's comeback in March and right now there doesn't seem to be much going on in terms of K Pop releases. I am just counting the days and hoping that it doesn't suck, lol.

Couple more things: Lisa Rinna is EVERYTHING. She needs to be back next season (so does Eileen). Lisa makes my heart sing. I know she didn't bring up Harry Hamlin's struggle with alcohol (Kyle did), but she went with it and went with it honestly. She owned it. She didn't pull a Kim. Bless her. She knows what she is talking about and she can spot a fake and an addict a mile away. She is always upbeat and polite and I just cannot say enough good things about this chick. And she brings it. And still has all the HWs (ex Kim) loving her for it. Even Brandi. Brandi threw Lisa R under the bus to Kim. Another deflector of blame. I'm not even surprised anymore. I guess she will get the brunt of the blame at Reunion, which is a shame. That's probably why Kim turns against her -- to deflect from getting any blame slung her way. Birds of a feather! I like Yolanda, even though the My Love stuff is cringeworthy and she never apologized to Lisa V. OMG Steve Tyler! I do love him. Lisa V has lucked out with great genes but I think it is clear from her ass and hips that she doesn't exercise if she doesn't have to. She is curvy. I do love her Vanderbooty. Anybody notice the scene in Kyle's kitchen, Kyle's hands and arms looked like those of a 50-year old male? Damn. I never realized!

OMG. This post is, once again, as FLAWFREE as the Krupp Diamond! Kim [!@#$%^&*] Bitchards, my god. I am so [!@#$%^&*] done with this ungrateful, sour lemon of a human being. Never have I wanted a HW so fired. She brings nothing to the table. The only time she is vaguely interesting is when she is doped up (God is gonna strike me down for saying that but it's the truth). Otherwise she is... Mean. Bitter. Entitled. Ungrateful. LAZY. Omg so lazy! She is a bully, an even bigger one than Brandi. It would serve her right if Kyle erased her from her speed-dial and carried on shopping for discounted Chanel and envying the lifestyles of Lisa V, Yolanda and others. Why Kyle is so afraid to raise her voice to her or confront her or even stand by Lisa R (when it is obvious she supports Lisa's line of questioning) is a mystery to me. But Kyle has always had people fight her battles for her, likely conditioned by years of her older sister's bullying and blow-ups. Kim's nasty little VTs putting down Eileen -- ok, bye bitch. Eileen is stunningly beautiful, erudite, dynamic, competitive, funny, self-deprecating, a great actress and is basically winning at life (unexpected Charlie Sheen reference, but it seems appropriate). She is everything Ratchet isn't. No wonder Kim has taken against her. Anyone notice a pattern here? The way Kim starts taking against the new girl on the show in order to distract attention from her own huge issues and to help secure a place for yet another season? And what a lazy-ass. "Blew out my knee" yeah ok Kim. Do you need some painkillers for that? Her bitching and moaning the whole way set my teeth on edge, so how Eileen didn't backslap that ho with her ring hand, I will never know. DONE. Done with her miserable, nasty attempts to be even remotely [!@#$%^&*] relevant. The way Lisa R read her on that plane with a few simple questions was plain. Kim has big problems. She doesn't want anybody calling her out on them. Because she has probably put together a nice little system where she gets wasted on the sly, is sober for a little while, then gets high again. And her saying she doesn't need to apologize? WHEN have we EVER heard this tit apologize for anything she has ever done?! NEVER. Certainly not to Kyle who has been her sister's keeper all these years. Selfish. Lazy, delusional, entitled, SELFISH. I am done with this bitch! [/rant]

I think it is interesting that Brandi is getting the brunt of the hate. Not that she shouldn't -- her behaviour this season has been vile, immature, bullying and despicable -- but I don't think it should be the shield that the Richards sisters will use to deflect any wrongdoing from them. Again. Already Kyle is treading very close to the "Brandi is turning Kim alcoholic again" and that is not true at all. Kim is not some delicate innocent child who is being turned towards evil by the wicked Brandi. She hasn't taken accountability for her actions since this show started (when everybody pretended there was no problem -- oh wait, no, Kim has a drinking problem how dare anybody say different -- oh wait, no, now she is picking up bags of white powder in her car -- oh, no wait, now she is taking pain medication the doctor prescribed her -- oh, wait, no, that would be Monty's pain medication she is stealing). It is about time people stop pretending somebody (Brandi, Monty) is holding a gun to Kin's head and forcing her to scratch around for a high.

Cut It Out is good but I can see why Crazy is the track leading this comeback. That song is such a jam! I never realized 4Minute's sound was like this -- I thought they were a more traditional, middle-of-the-road girl group. And once again, Hyuna's curly long hair with blonde highlights is slaying left and right. And I'm not usually a fan of blonde or blonde hybrids on K pop idols. I read a YG press release over the weekend that Big Bang will come back in the first half of this year, as will Winner and IKON. I gues we will believe it when we see it, but at least we know that YG are planning for a Big Bang comeback this year.

You and this post are the BOMB! That part you highlighted was the mask dropping from Kyle's face. How dare Lisa intrude on her Oscar moment! However, did you see the smile she tried to hide when Lisa comforted her and hugged her close? Even amid the jealousy, Kyle desperately needs Lisa's love and approval. I feel bad for Kyle because it must have been hell growing up with Big Kathy and an older sister who is an addict. But I feel even worse for Kyle that she cannot see how wonderful she has it. She has beautiful, healthy children, a nice home (ok, Sherman Oaks, but she still lives better than about 85% of the LA population), a seemingly caring husband, a great lifestyle. Instead, this creature is whining about how she is the star and the spotlight should be on her Mother Teresa-ing her poor, helpless sister. I can't have much sympathy for someone who feels so entitled and bitter when somebody else excels. Lisa's reaction to that incident was perfect and is exactly as a friend should react -- recognizing that Kyle spoke in the heat of the moment, was very upset, and that it was best to let this remark go. Lisa did not take it personally, whereas Kyle's outburst was entirely personal. That says a lot about where they are in their friendship right now, which would be two different places. Kim is a selfish, deluded, vampiric excuse for a human being. She is addicted to the attention and if staying on hard drugs is going to keep everybody's attention on her, then so be it. She is a liar, a user of people and a bully -- just look at the way she turned on well-intentioned Eileen when Eileen dared to suggest that Brandi might be enablng her. That self-righteous meth-croak "Don't attack the people I love" was hypocritical in the extreme. (And in other news, Kim's neck looks about 103 years old). Lisa R was so right in implying that both Richards sisters (not just Kim!) will target you if you dare say that Kim is still using. In both senses of the word. Yolanda realizing what a succubus Brandi is was an astonishing moment. And then Brandi throwing her supposed BFF under the bus in her convo with Lisa R Bye, Kim! I can't fault anything Brandi was saying -- she is not a 'sober companion' and cannot be held responsible for Kim when Kim should be responsible for herself. Letting out the "patch" secret was one of the quiet 'omg' moments. What patch would that be, Brandi?! A methadone patch? Damn. Brandi better watch her back. Not only has she eroded any kind of fanbase or goodwill she may once have had -- to the point of being fired, I would imagine -- but she just revealed that Kim is not just an alcoholic but a hard drug addict, something she always denied but always seemed patently obvious. I don't know how I feel about this tbh. A part of me hopes you are right, actually. I guess I want Brandi to stay on the show so she can face up to her mistakes and atone. I actually do want her to let the hatred go and become a better person. On the other hand, if she stays on the show, she will take it as a reward for all her shenanigans and will continue to be hateful and manipulative, and just go to newer and different extremes. She will never mature or evolve because she never believes she has done wrong. She always feels she is entitled to do what she does. But she is def in Jill Zarin territory at this point. Personally, I think her position will depend on whether Lisa V will leave the show and if Lisa R signs on for another year.

I didn't have the highest hopes for this because K pop girl groups don't do it for me. But this is by some distance the catchiest song I have heard in some time -- not just by a girl group but by any k pop group. Hyuna and Jiyoon killed the choreography, and I really like Hyuna's messy hair with braids. It softens her face. The black hair and red lipstick is of course gorgeous on her, but it does make her look older and a bit harder. Love that they went a bit urban and hip hoppy and the Bollywood style chorus beat was awesome.

I missed this in this week's episode! Is she trying to set that poor lady on fire while simultaneously covering her with flecks of saliva?! I don't think Apollo would ever harm his kids as he does seem to adore them -- even if he does use them to make himself look better on the show. However, Phaedra by herself? If I were her, I would be nervous.
