Same. Tbh I hope she recaptures some of her fun. When she first came on the show, she was refreshing. She said what she thought amidst all these ladies who were afraid to say a peep about the abuse Taylor was facing at the hands of her husband, or about the drink and drugs Kim was clearly ingesting. There was something childlike and fragile about her and this was what probably drew Lisa to her and why she clung on to that mother figure and did everything she could to impress/shock her and be noticed by her. Now, though, she believes all the hype about herself from S2 and S3, and is under pressure to "deliver" the same only more so. FunnyBrandi, LoudBrandi, NoHoldsBarredBrandi, IMakeMistakesBrandi. I can almost feel her panic and her desperation to be noticed in social situations now. The problem is that she has gone too far with her antics for the sake of the show and burnt a lot of bridges. That and the inability to learn from those mistakes -- or even truly own them -- makes her appear immature. Having said that, Kim brought the drama to Game NIght on Tuesday, but Brandi really lit a match under it and made it explode. In Bravo terms, she is doing her job and managing to make it all about her, I guess.

I can't even... imagine how Joanna would go about proving that it's not true. I know technically she doesn't need to but sometimes not all publicity is good publicity. Budget Miami CokeWhore really does not need her name associated with the words "rancid vagina." Agreed. This is just a desperate ploy to remain BravoRelevant and try to get invited to another RH franchise. You know she is itching (pun intended) for BH but that would really bring the show down. Not a fan but I feel highly uncomfortable signing any petition to get somebody fired. Not unless they are truly evil, a danger to people or truly, truly incompetent. Brandi is messy, crazy, manipulative but she's not any of the above really. Anyway, there's already a Bravo expiry date on her ass.

IA, the way Lisa looked at Kim when she got in the car, immediately something clicked in her head that things were not right. And she came right out and asked her if she was drunk or on drugs. She didn't pressurize her during the car ride, and at the game when Kim suddenly went aggressive, she calmed the situation down without backing down. But she clearly has seen and handled something like this before. In a lot of ways, Lisa and Eileen's sane way of looking at things and calling out the crazy but in a gracious way was such a relief from earlier seasons when everybody sat there embarrassed but too scared to say anything. It is also interesting that Kim didn't care or really react to Lisa as much as she reacted to Kyle spotting that something wasn't right. Kim became an emotional, angry wreck at that point.

I don't know when it was that Brandi Glanville signed her own death warrant from the RHoBH series but at some point this season -- mixed in with the most awkward set of WWHL interviews ever -- Brandi stopped being a Tamra-esque [!@#$%^&*] stirrer and started being somebody many viewers actively want kicked off the show. I loved her in S2 and S3, she was treated abominably by the Richards Sisters at that Game Night, and she def creates drama. But that drama is now increasingly contrived (heck it was contrived last season) and very, very desperate and ugly. Kim has somewhere along the line fallen off the wagon a bit. And while Brandi is supportive of her (and on the ball when she pointed out that Kyle has always been jealous of Kim), I feel like her support is toxic. Like, even if Kim was just zoned out on an anti-depressant, her new BFF is fifty shades drunk 70% of the time. Not sure whether it was the editing, but the way Brandi pulled Kim to the side and didn't want her to say goodbye was a little creepy. At the same time, given that Kim gets emotional everytime Kyle gives her the Judgey Staredown, I can see why. Where is Kathy Hilton when you need her?? And why won't somebody come out and say that Big Kathy Richards was a [!@#$%^&*] terrible mom?? Hiding and enabling her eldest daughter's alcohol addiction?? wtf Lisa Rinna had a moment where she immediately spotted that Kim was drunk or high and kind of looked at the camera and broke the fourth wall. It really made me wonder if this was not scripted at all but a totally real curveball that Kim threw in. Lisa looked like she was actually scared at one point. She really has been the Voice of the Audience this season. I feel she was reflecting what we were all thinking watching this. Can't wait to see her reaction next week! Kyle... sigh. It's so fucked up that she has to use her sister's struggles with addiction as her SL. I never know if she is genuinely upset about her sister or fake-crying for the cameras in order to burnish her own image. On the upside, I do feel more sympathetic regarding the way she blurted out her sister's addictionon camera in S1. I really felt she did that in order to force her sister to get help.

OMG your entire post is GOLDEN! "She needs her ass whooped for lying down with this old ass fossil" Dear Lord. Legit ROFLMAO CRYING tears (of joy) right now. Porsha always been the dumb woman's version of Kim Z but at least Kim (sort of) owned that she was a ho who made her money on her back. Porsha is trying to pretend the Victor Newman of Africa is her 'boyfriend' as opposed to the guy paying for her escort services. I really like Demetria too and her voice slays me. I am so glad that track is easily available because after Sunday's show, I really wanted to listen to that song again. It was catchy and she is talented. I think she should go into RnB tbh. I love Team Pretty tbh, and love Claudia. Team Evil Hoes are vile but not gonna lie, they are bringing the story after some slow first episodes. Nene and Phaedra look and act so ratchety. I can't. And Kandi is disappointing me laughing along to their antics when she should be pulling her BFF Phaedra aside and letting her now that all this mess is making her look really bad.

Tamra is the smartest toxic ho out of all the toxic hoes in the RH franchises. Every season she is able to manipulate the SLs to make it All About Her. I hate her, and hate how Lizzie got fired because of it (as Lizzie was one of the few who actually stood up to Tamra -- oh well, at least we have Shannon gunning for her ass). But I have to give Trashra some props because she helped to make last season a [!@#$%^&*] pleasure to watch (thanks also to Heather and Shannon and, in a weird way, Vicki. Also Vicki's speech to Tamra at Reunion was PURE SOLID GOLD). But yeah, Jeana should come back. IMO she was the Queen of the franchise, and I loved how commonsense and down-to-earth she was, and how she showed the flaws of living in the OC and not just the aspirational "Alexis Couture" bullshit stuff. Also she had no fear with regards to anybody and was the only one who truly stood up to Tamra. Tamra would be SO scared if Jeana ever came back, and so she should. Jeana is smarter than her, happier than her, more beloved than her and knows where Tamra buried all the bodies. OT but on RhOA I loved Claudia's hair in Puerto Rico.

Ugh, Nene and Phaedra were so trashy and spiteful and [!@#$%^&*] ENTITLED in PR. Phaedra already looked ridiculous pulling those clown faces at Demetria's recording session, and she was so nasty to the guest that invited her grumpy ass to PR! I would have called American Airlines and reserved her a seat on the first available flight outta San Juan right then and there. Nene is horrible. Spoiled, selfish, no graciousness, just mean and entitled. I am so glad Claudia called her out on her rudeness. And IMO Nene's comment was trashier than even Brandi's fingerbanging comment. Brandi said that to shock, and because she is juvenile and has verbal diarrhoea. Nene's comment went beyond vulgar. It was just plain insulting. I've heard HS guys joke about this stuff and they get rightly called out on it for being misogynistic -- so why shouldn't Nene? It was slut-shaming of the worst kind. You such a ho, your dirty cl*t has quit your body. Really vile. Demetria has such a beautiful singing voice. For real! I wish she wasn't all about Roger Bob Roger Bob Roger Bob tho. It's like, who is this guy? Should I care? Why is everybody making out that he is the black Victor Newman of Atlanta? LOL found this on Tumblr. The Good Ole Days, when romance wasn't dead. OMG and this mess:

I finally caught up on RHoBH (in my defense, I've been sick ). I HAVE to mention Messy Brandi. Her fear and insecurity is plain to see (no doubt compounded by Andy going cold on her, as was clear in the last few WWHLs that she has been on), especially now that two new HWs have come on. And both Lisa Rinna and Eileen have a chemistry that fits in seamlessly with the other HWs (excluding Kim who I literally forget is on the show). Everything Brandi is doing is in a bid to stay relevant and make the SL about her, but she's going too far and viewers are probably already fatigued by her antics. Brandi keeps saying and doing stupid [!@#$%^&*] and then having to apologize for it. However, it's never really an apology it's always "This is the way I am, I have no filter, blah, blah." If a +40 year old woman acts like a drunken 15 year old at every social situation, though, maybe it's time to work on yourself a bit more? Maybe it's time to change some things about yourself? There seems to be some weird level of entitlement that prompts Brandi to act this way, maybe because she thinks others are amused by it. Maybe she has too many hangers-on around her who tell her "Yes" to everything. Yolanda is so over her and David looks like he never wants to see her in the mansion again. Oh well, so much for the whole "Lisa and Ken cruelly abandoned you so we'll be your substitute parents/sponsors/backers!" stuff. LMAO! Brandi is burning bridges everywhere. All she has left is her coke dealer and Kim, and she is perpetually high on car fumes so... Yolanda is so shady. I like what a gracious hostess she is, and the way she talks about her family, but that shady toast to Lisa... girl, stop. I can't even touch on the "Well, love is a strong word" comment because that screamed of Jealous. Lisa R is so damn perfect. I love her kindness, and the fact that she reads people so well. Everything about her is fun, positive, happy, real and truly classy. She has no filter either, but in a normal, grounded, non-bi-polar way. Bravo need to give her whatever she asks next season so she can stay on the show because she is almost as irreplaceable as Lisa V. Kyle's SL is kind of isolated from the other ladies somewhat. I keep forgetting she is on the show, too, tbh.

First of all, your sig! Should I be watching B&B right now?! Secondly, I love the BtoB's Mini Me's. It's such a cool idea, in fact, that I wish they would do a MV and use the kid BtoB concept in that. Taeyang showing off his insane body. Damn. I love Drive, and the song stays with you. I don't know why they didn't follow up 12.30 this this either. I did see that Jonghyun from SHINee released a solo. I had a listen to Crazy (another song called Crazy! wtf) and watched the MV. I... felt that it resembled Taemin's Danger MV too closely -- and I wasn't nuts about that vid to begin with. The MV felt like a whole bunch of nothing, like they'd had a concept in mind but edited it all out. The song... his high notes are beautiful. But I wasn't bowled over. Frankly I would have given him a different concept to differentiate him from Taemin but in this case I felt like it did not stand out for me. You?

12.30 was a really good video and it showcased Dujun's talents in particular. 4L is full-on uncomfortable to watch. I can't with the "choreography." Yeah, not EXO London fans' finest hour. I heard about Crazy Twitter Lady who clearly thinks she and Sehun are an item. Apparently some of these delusionals were groping Sehun's ass! Like these boys are their property. It sends such a poor image of EXO fans in general. I don't think Beast fans act like this, do they? That vid makes me cringe with the "Joggin" for Jongin and the chicks screaming "Don't touch him!" (maybe because they think he is their's). Not going to lie, if I saw my bias Kai up close, I would probably faint from all the beauty and the feels. But putting my hands on him like I know him? Like he's my bf? No. That's not acceptable human behavior. If this was a female star and male fans were doing this, they would be arrested for aggravated sexual harassment! I love 2PM's poster with them all wearing glasses. I have a thing for K Pop idols in spectacles actually. I hear that 2PM and especially Junho are HUGE in Japan. Junho topped all the Japanese sales charts last year. So 2PM are smart to focus on where their fans are most loyal. Isn't Wooyoung in a singing subunit with a member of SHINee? Key maybe?

I guessed your #2 and #1 would be 12.30 and Go Crazy but I honestly thought Go Crazy would edge to #1 spot because that MV is really something else. Like, I can't even. However, I know your Beast love is strong, Cheap! I just watched I'm Him -- Mino's solo -- and wow that is a great MV. And good song! Mino is seriously the cutest. YG were wise to give him a solo so quickly, even though Winner are still newbies who only just debuted this year. - Consequently, Mino is now going on my MV list of the year! I love the multi-colored effects with the wings and animals and hood necklace lol. - Red Velvet -- Happiness, for being more original than most - Super Junior -- Swing - 2pm -- Go Crazy - Super Junior -- Mamacita - How could I leave out Beast -- 12.30?? - Taeyang -- Eyes Nose Lips, because it is so simple as a MV. - BTS -- We are Bulletproof (even though I rate the Dance Practice vid even higher. I will refrain from posting my favourite Dance Practice vids because that will take all day, lol) And I couldn't not mention the group I stan for, EXO! - Ulf naega Ulf! Wolf -- EXO. This will always be the most cray K Pop MV for me - Overdose - Growl -- the classic Special mention: AKLO -- Break the Records. AKLO is J Rap and not K Pop, but I had to mention this unexpected discovery because I think he's so good. On a par with Jay Park in fact. I love this song especially. SPECIAL CATEGORY: Most ratchet MVs of 2014 Zico - Tough Cookie. It's controversial for a number of reasons (Confederate flag etc) but it's truly ratchet because of those poor ladies trying to twerk and failing miserably. 4 Ladies -- Move. I mean. This mess speaks for itself. Not to give it more YT clicks than it deserves but... it is so ratchet, god!

I love Exology! I am so glad you like it. Suho's Beautiful song is legit moving and even though it's really short, I play it all the time. I also love DO's Tell Me What is Love and the acoustic version of Love Love Love. I don;t have a Top 14 because I just came into K Pop this year and am late to the game. I am really grateful that I was able to discover this thread and you allowed me to spazz on it tbh. It's where I discovered Overdose and Growl... and the rest is history! So without further adio, my short list is the following Mamacita - Super Junior Beep Beep - BtoB Go Crazy - 2PM Time - Beast Rise - Taeyang Ace of Ace - Taemin Exology - EXO and #1 is Overdose - EXO and XOXO - EXO. Even though XOXO was released in 2013, I only discovered it (and Mama, which is also joint top) in 2014 and really fell in love with EXO's music.

Yes, let's appreciate Suho! Especially now that he has his hot brown hair back! I also realy like him when he is MCing Inkiyago (alongside Baekhyun), though they stepped down from their duties last week to prepare for their comeback. His fun and outgoing side really came out. His best friend, KyunHyun of SJ had a solo song released, and it was so cute to see Suho and Baekhyun so happy and supportive of this guy. By the way, EXO relaesed EXOLOGY this week, which is their concert songs, or rearranged songs from previous albums. Suho's solo Beautiful was released on the album, and it is as beautiful as the title suggests. I love everything about it. I hope Suho gets more solos/singing duties during this comeback. Chanyeol, too. He sings really well. The concert version (which I think you know already): Suho at a recent Baskin Robbins fansign (EXO-K are the face of their Xmas ice cream cakes!). And with my sweet bias KaiBear (and the BR teddy bears):

I watched Gayo too! Well, bits and pieces. I kept watching, going away to do something, then coming back. Thank god it was an Awards show on the weekend! Go Crazy is actually one of my favorite 2PM songs and I don't care if Korea didn't get it. It is a fun =, catchy song, and I loved their staging of it. The glow-in-the-dark bikes at the beginning and end were hilarious, too. BEAST's acoustic version of 12.30 really is beautiful. As usual, Beast beats everybody with the unexpected. And IA about Hyunseung. The hair up looks so much better on him and shows off his angular bone structure. He does nothing for me physically but he is slaying that entire look. By the way, did you hear about this controversy? Beast won an award, and Dongwoon spoke to thank the fans and (presumably) Gayo. Some fancam was focused on some little poptart called Hyeri of Girl's Day (the poor man's SISTAR) and she was apparently making fun of Dongwoon and his speech. GURL. Don't you know fans are watching you at all times?? Anyhow, embarrassed that now the K Pop world knows she is a bit of a bitch, she attempted to tweet an apology and sent it to Dongwoon to drag him into this mess. And now it has just gotten more drawn-out and messy. Here are K-netizens' reactions: http://onehallyu.com/topic/126603-nb-hyeri-apologizes-for-mocking-dongwoons-award-speech/?hl=%20hyeri Speaking of what the fancams catch... 2NE1 singing Come Back Home (a song I **LOVE**) EXO body-rolling like their lives depend on it! And then Ailee's biggest fanboy suddenly thinks he is a singer: The dorkage, omg. I loved 2NE1 back to together, and I really hope the mention of 2015 that CL did before she launched into Crush is indicative of 2NE1's return on the scene. I felt sad that Bom wasn't there, though. I can't believe she is still being punished for something the authorities cleared her for. Either the fan hate against her has been strong (which I'm not sure actually) or she had a bit of a meltdown, or YG just decided to hide her in the attic. Either way, she should be there. Yes, EXO won some awards -- including Best Selfie. Their version of Overdose is their best yet (and IA about those suits!). OT-10 is the best balance for the group. They feel closer and more unified, less M vs K. It's sweet seeing D.O. sing with Chen and Xiumin, or Kai hugging Tao. Speaking of the last two, I don't know whether they were tipsy or somebody injected raw cocaine into their freebee Ferrero Rochers, but those two were turnt up all night. I have never seen my baby Kai this animated! P.S.: EXO comeback is imminent imo. I'm thinking January. The reason? D.O. cut his hair. The shaved sides resemble his awesome haircut during Growl era. BTOB are so cute in their pastel coats. And Tigger and Eyeore rapping! I really like the song. It is so fun and poppy. GD looks so hot without the braids. I'm not even kidding. If Taeyang keeps sporting that piss-colored hair, I'm going to have to switch allegiances!

I'm always back for my Lisa V and BH. But especially for my friends in the RH thread! I've missed you guys!

I am loving it, too! I feel like it is a return to Season 1 when we saw the women's individual lives,and when they finally did hang it was worth it because the drama was a slow build. I am also liking how much they are emphasizing relationships which actually work between the women. For now. Yolanda has done a complete 180, and I totally believed 110% what she was saying about how upset she was after her father died in a car crash, now Bella gets a DUI. I also felt for her when she said that once her daughters hit 18 and get independent, she will no longer have the influence over them. "I am 'just' the mother." Lawd knows I am not a fan of Kyle, but that yacht and Med vacation looked amazing. I don't know whether they changed production teams but last season the filming made BH look so ratchet. Here it looks a million bucks again. IA with what you are saying about My Eileen. I love her and think that behind the cool exterior is a nervous dork tbh -- and that's why she is so good at playing both Ashley and Kristen -- but I can see why it is not translating seamlessly. Lisa Rinna was BORN to be on this show. I cannot believe she is a newbie. I cannot believe she wasn't in Season 1. What I would have given to see her and Camille, or her giving Taylor a few choice words. Lisa, Ken and Giggy are just adorable, their life really revolves around that dog. Especially Ken, who is happy to get a lower billing than even Giggy. What an adorable teddy bear of a man he is. While I totally believe that Lisa has done lots for the LBGT community and is a supporter from way back, it sort of makes me cringe when they trot out a couple of overplucked dudes I never heard of to play the gay stereotype. Maybe it is just me. If they want to do that, why can't it be Ken Paves? He is Lisa V's hair guy, friend and I really like him on QVC lol. I can even deal with the shi shi shi shi wedding planner who wanted to skinny dip with Jax! Brandi. Was she on? I am ok with Kim this season too, but I think we owe a debt of gratitude to Kathy Hilton for that. I wish Kathy was a regular on BH tbh. Her cold staredown of Kyle every episode makes Stumpy McSplits seem even shorter than she already is. Having said that, Kyle and Kyle's Hair were looking BOSS at this wedding. Lisa reading Brandi again next week! I thought she had already said everything perfectly on the phone the week before but hey, preach it one more time, Lisa! Brandi didn't get it the first time around. P.s.: Who called Viveca the industry's granny whore? I mean, I don't hate her or anything but that made me laugh.

TOP is back to blonde. I think I'm ok with it!

Koreans are so sassy I am surprised too but maybe (in the case of BigBang and 2NE1) some of their songs and definitely their attitude is already so US hip-hop in style. Like why listen to the KOrean version when the US originals are all around you in SoCal? Maybe that ex-pat community is drawn to the more traditional, old-skool Korean groups? Aww Beast. I think Beast's music is so unashamedly pop, and with some really sweet ballads, that people get embarrassed about liking them and immediately attack them as cheesy. Whereas I look at Beast and see a depth of talent there and embrace of lots of musical genres. I wonder what the KoAm community think of my bias group EXO? Probably hate them because they are so big now and lip sync all their "live" performances. Their performance skill and songs slay me, though. I swear, Super Juniors are a phenomenon with so much longevity. DBSK (or TVSQ as they are also known) were also huge, but then those three guys left the group (and SM) to form JYJ. SM tried to make them outcasts in South Korea, so now they get the bulk of their $$$$ from promotion in Japan.

I think am going to get into Winner too this holiday... lol. Taecyeon's arms tho. Why they put him in a school uniform outfit, I will never know. This ain't one of EXO's maknaes. Taecyeon is ALL MAN. It's funny you talk about Good Boy -- I went to a Korean restaurant this week with my Korean class and this song came on over the sound system in the middle of dinner. Without thinking, me and like four other people at the table started doing this: All this to say that the song by itself has definitely grown on me. I think it was the MV that bummed me out -- it was kind of basic and messy. Also, I watched the dance practice MV of Good Boy and GD was killing it! I always thought taeyang was the danvcer but I guess GD is really talented in that area, too. Careful with Block B. I hear the are lots of fun and pretty good! Taeyang I feel so wrong for laughing.

I watched the MAMAs! I was so pleased EXO won some awards because they needed the validation. They looked completely demoralized, sad and emotional -- at last year's MAMAs they had been on a huge high and KILLED the live performance of Growl/Wolf. Now, with all the defections, lawsuits and ugly rumors, many were on the point of tears. I actually watched those parts with a heavy heart. Winner/IKON jamming to the EXO set made my night. I just love Bobby and Mino. Dem body rolls while D.O. sang Tell Me What is Love!!! Bobby fangurling during the Overdose thrust-a-thon! I can't. Winner showed EXO mucho love during the MAMAs and it was definitely reciprocated. During Born Hater, Bobby came over so that Tao (who was FANGURLING like crazy!) could sing with him: Love it when groups support each other and get into each other's music! In other news, Kai performed his solo and Lay gave all the haters a speech to remember. Comeback imminent in January, mark my words. At least 2PM won something, and apparently JunHo and 2PM slayed the Japanese charts this year with sales of their group and solo albums. Go boys! Taeyang and GD did a great performance (TY's body, god damn) and it almost made me like the song. Taeyang's hair was still a hot mess of cow fugly, but he was so sweet and cute during the awards that I can look past it. Sort of. BtoB's Christmas song is a jam. I really love it. And no, Amber's not technically a guy but she does act like one (in the Korean press they refer to her "boyish charms" -- code for liking chicks). I do like her, though. Her Korean is very good, and she is very upfront and talented and has the friendship and admiration of basically every K Pop idol out there. She is very social and often seen out and about with lots of them. I really do not understand why BEAST wasn't there and why they didn't win.

I saved the 2NE1 live performances on my 'puter so that I can watch them next weekend. Work is pretty much killing me at the moment and this weekend I have to work also. So I haven't had time to watch the vids or even to post much here (and I want to because I've been keeping up with the RHoA and BH discussion, too!). So I'm sorry. I feel like it will be bittersweet watching these concerts, just because the group is on hiatus at the moment and CL is in the US (how is she doing btw?). The MAMAs are going on right now but I'm going to have to check back on that later and hopefully get some of the best bits because... no time. I hope my babies EXO slay though. Last year they did a special, extended Growl/Wolf set which, performance-wise, gave me goosebumps. BTW, Wolf has finally grown on me, did I tell you that? I even like Kai in his cornrows. Boy could pretty much get it, anytime. Speaking of hair... LMAO! Taeyang, there's no need to out-GD GD. Even he combs his hair back with his snapback. BtoB have released a Christmas single! The boys are still trying hard and still in the game! The 90s ballad feel of this single is awesome, even though it is a cheesy Mewwy Kweeesmass song. Peniel rapping, boy, your accent is so sweet. Speaking of the Peen: Peniel and his BFF, F(x)'s Amber (US-born and raised, too) show Korea how it's done. I can't. Taecyeon getting in on the Kreeesmass love, I see. And S L A Y EXO with your singles -- including one from 2013!

Brandi and Kim are BFFs? More like 'el enemigo de mi enemigo es mi amigo.' And who the [!@#$%^&*] okayed this Kim/Brandi stalking some real estate agent mess? Andy? Kyle? The damage control is real, y'all. After last season's Reunion debacle, some of these chicks are bending over backwards to appear more human, more "I've learned from my mistakes and I'm a better person now." You know who I'm talking about! Thank goodness Adrienne pointed out that Brandi's apology needed a strong dose of taking responsibility for her own actions. Adrienne's face as she watched Brandi was made of so much win, I almost wish she was a regular again. Can't help but start enjoying Yolanda being all "I know I'm not supposed to care but I can't fit into my skinnies." I think we've all wrestled with white jeans at one time or another, although she still looks great. The "Helloooooo mah luv!" scene in the kitchen still makes me cringe but, hey, her body is banging so get it, Yolemony! Kyle still thinks she is the funniest, most charming and fascinating woman on earth. Her jokes are so poor tho. Mauricio could still get it with that scruff on his face. ROWL. Sub-Milania Portia is so obviously being coached by Sherman Oaks' version of Mama Rose. Kyle was using the kid's cuteness last year as a way of making her seem more likeable and, you know what, Portia was cute. She still is, but all this is just some scripted mess to burnish Kyle's image as the put-open mom. Hey, Middle America! I struggle with the same bratty kids you do! Except I'm doing it while shopping at Baby Dior. Condesending? Kyle? NEVER. Lisa Rinna is made of so much win, I love her. Not only did she reference her valiant work for Depends, she is genuinely thankful for it. I can't wait to see more of her. Lisa Vanderpump is an Empress with an Empress's fabulous closet, personal seamstress on speed dial and taste for fine jewels. And she manages to do it without seeming sneering or pretentious. She loves the good life and is going to grasp it with both hands. Eileen next week. Am nervous/excited. Glad Lisa Rinna is the one introducing her to the audience.

Just coming on here to post this. And ITA with you Cheap, the song is underwhelming. That hook could be in any US rap song circa 2006. Let's hope there is more to this YG Hip Hop Project. And Mino -- all hopes rest on you, boy, to be the next G-D now that the real G-D is pulling lazy stuff like this out of his ass.

VictimKyle still has no clue about what makes Lisa tick. (Of course, why would she -- this self-centered, self-appointed "star" is all about MeMeMeAndMyHair). She's the one who invites Lisa to lunch -- but then shows up expecting an apology and some grovelling... for what? A rumor which Lisa denies ever happened? Brandi is a baby, you've put your finger right on it. The "They're all 78 years old" comments were especially childish. Girl, you ain't no spring chicken yourself. Brandi is someone who, like Kyle, also cannot see past her own self, and that makes it difficult for her to understand the motives of others. During her chat with Adrienne, Brandi was talking about herself the whole time "I was in a really bad place... I was drunk... When I'm hurt, I lash out." Classic non-apology apology. It's "This is the way I am, and I don't plan on changing or evolving or showing that I learned from my mistakes. I'm sassy and a truth-teller, y'all." She logically understands that she has hurt people but at the same time won't own to it. "That's just Who I Am." I also get irritated by women who talk about "my gays" like they are her pet chihuahuas. Usually hair/makeup people, they are her personal cheerleading squad who cheer her on when she's on her 10th Sambuca and dancing around her handbag, flashing her ladybits.

Oh I don;t think they will be Friend-Friends. I was just quoting an expression. But I do think it is mutually beneficial right now for both Lisa and Adrienne to look like a united front and piss on Brandi from a great height (not that Brandi didn't have it coming to her). And Adrienne may never truly like Lisa again but she's the one who tried to sell her down the river at Season 2 Reunion, accusing her of selling info to TMZ. Honestly, it's not like Lisa will ever like Adrienne much again after that one.
