Cat

I'll own it. Sometimes there are characters you just love to hate, and I fully admit Tamra works that role with me (and even Vicki sometimes). In a way, Kyle is like that for me, too (can't believe I admit it because I despise her, but I sort of need her around to hate on and make fun of).

Tamra needs to stay. And I say this as someone who can't stand her ass. She is the master puppeteer on that show. Look at the way she dealt with those women at Reunion. Only Vicki bested her with that AMAZING monologue. Vicki and/versus Tamra is still where it's at. And Tamra vs Shannon is a pretty close second.

Same. I love Lisa and stan for her, but a lot of the issues the ladies had with her last year were valid. Indeed, this is why I dislike Kyle so much -- I felt her issue was just a retread of the previous season's non-issue and an excuse to play the Poor, Put-Upon Victim which, as we all know, is Kyle's favourite role. I could also see Lisa's side of things with her work and VPR and DWTS, she just wasn't as available to the show in person and emotionally. Things were going a new direction for her and while I don't think she feels she has outgrown the show, I do think she has outgrown the women in it. The stuff about the tabloids we don't know (I think she said it but jokingly), and I don't think she favoured Scheana, a babyish girl and her employee, over Brandi who was probably her closest friend on the show. The problem was the way the women went about it. Bitching on the VTs but never confronting Lisa until Puerto Rico. One thing I will give Brandi credit for is that she tried to talk with Lisa about stuff right away, but Lisa dismissed it and then Brandi got angry and lashed out. And she started bringing up the Scheana thing like it was Season 2 again. Even though in Season 3 she agreed to film with Scheana. Not saying Brandi didn't have a right to feel hurt, but when the excuse at Reunion became "when I get angry, I lash out," that's not an excuse. That's just an explanation. And it prevents Brandi from wising up and becoming more emotionally mature because "that's just the way I am." The drinking and prescription drug use adds to that and makes her come across as unstable. Yolanda seemed to be lapping up the tension with Lisa like a cat with cream. In some of her VTs she looked positively glowing with self-righteousness. Again, what she was saying sounded well-thought out and logical, but the way she was saying it and going about it clashed with and ultimately eroded her point.

GOD I loved Yolanda her first season on the show. But the blatant way she came after Lisa last season -- not saying she didn't have a right to air her issues, but the way she went about it, bitching behind her back, setting up people against her really made me take Lisa's side all the more. I was so disappointed in Yolanda because I thought she was the one HW who would walk the walk after talking the talk. You know, don't talk behind people's back, say it to their face, don't bullshit etc. She took a whole season to confront Lisa and then when it wasn't working her way, she went after Ken for "shoving" her. Should a man manhandle a woman? Absolutely never. But Yolanda took something innocuous and blew it up into near-abuse -- and then backtracked at Reunion, insisting that Ken apologize to her -- but only for calling her stupid. Cover that ass, Yol.

That's evident.

"Ooooooo. Angry Spice" pretty much sums up the giant FAIL that is Kyle's 'humor.' I still criiiiiinge at her smug-ass smirk at the end. Kyle runs around thinking she is Scarlett O'Self-Deprecating and that BH is her own personal Gone With the Wind.

Queen Eileen is aloof as all fabulous queens should be. Kim better start genuflecting at her feet because Eileen has given her a crumb of potential purpose on this show by vaguely acknowledging her itchy-and-scratchy-voiced existence. Please let ED not care what a toss for audience reaction and just be as elegantly bitchy as possible. Lord knows poor Lisa can't carry the show all by her lonesome (and before anybody says anything -- no, nobody is watching the show for Kyle "See?! See how funny I am?!" Richards).

BtOB released their teaser for new song You're So Fly: And CL for Vanity Fair Italia. MUCH better. Pink really suits CL. I love her mole near her lower lip!

Here is a short video of his solo. Like I indicated, it is 'out there,' lol. And you can see at the end where the rest of EXO-K appear from below and it segues straight into Overdose (one of my faves).

Kai has a solo stage during The Lost Planet tour which is zombie-like and out of left field. The concept is sort of performance theatre/modern dance-y. At the end of it, he falls to his knees and does the "tired puppet" thing -- and then it launches straight into Overdose. I still maintain he looks hot (the arms and ripped jeans alone) but, yeah, XOXO this ain't.

Wait a minute.. this isn't Dongwoon, is it?! Because either he had some work done this summer (MAJOR work -- where did his nose go?!). Or somebody went cray cray with Photoshop. He looks like a completely different person. Changsub's fried pudding bowl is seriously awful. Even Kai's fried Einstein hair looked better than that! 2PM's choreography is really good. I love that they are releasing multi-lingual singles, too. Get that yen boys! In CL news, she is also in Korea's Harpers Bazaar this month. You would think that such a high-end magazie would make her look fabulous. On the contrary, she looks awful and they smeared vaseline on her face so it looks greasy. I am not posting the pics here because frankly I think it is an anomaly. Big Bang's Seungri was in a car accident two weeks ago and, at the time, they said there were no serious injuries. But he's still at the th hospital 10 days' later! Hope he is ok: http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/14219837.html

I was just coming on here to post the ELLE shoot! This is my favorite picture: I don't think I have ever seen CL so gorgeous tbh. Apparently she is the youngest person ever to appear on an ELLE Korea cover, and the first musician. It looks like it is selling well, too. Bye BTOB! I guess you love em then you leave em, Cheap! Because BEAST is back in town. I hope Dongwoon gets a solo spot, but more than that, I hope they match their perfect Music Bank score after Good Night lol. And I hope Junhyung keeps the black hair. OMG D-Lite embracing the cheese. And Taeyang shaking that ass shaking that ass shaking that ass with 2NE1. Big Bang better quit farting around and start thinking about an album themselves while they're at it. I can't with all these individual mini albums at this point. And TOP is involved in an acting career apparently?! In EXO news. they just finished an extensive run of The Lost Planet concerts with two in Beijing. It was notable not only because it is Lu Han's home town, but because he returned after bowing out of the Thailand concert last week. He had chronic exhaustion, bad migraines and couldn't sleep, and apparently the Beijing doctors chained him to a bed at the beginning of September and ordered complete rest. He was looking pretty beat back then, too. Anyway, he came back with new black hair (thank good, wasn't feeling the blonde caramel look) and a swollen eye from an eye infection. After this, no more concerts until November and December... and they are all going to be in Japan. Things that make you go Hmmm. They are also supposedly recording a new album.

OMG. I can't get enough of that song, and that comeback stage is amazeballs! I don't know which I loved more -- Mullet with the pink sequined romper suit? OLD FARTS GARAGE? (Do they know what that means?) The guy in the dress? "Slow down / slow down" and everybody collapsing to the ground? K Pop -- never change. I hope this album sells well for 2PM. Dongwooooooooooooooon-ah. He was prob my bias in Beast before you posted this YT clip, but this just solidified it. Not only is he singing live for +7 minutes, he is playing the piano and wearing those glasses which make him look all kinds of manly and hot. He is more talented than I realized, and that song is beautiful. I hope Beast give him more solos or maybe a solo mini-album one day. He is at an age now where he could carry something by himself. GD is apparently dating a Japanese model called Kiko somebody and it is stirring up a lot of drama between him and his stans. Firstly she posted some IG picture drug (well, pot) stuff, and in SK that is a big no-no in general society. Then she expressed some kind of support for Japanese prime minister Abe visiting a shrine where some soldiers accused of serious war crimes are buried. Since Korea suffered under Japanese occupation during the war and are still trying to get reparations from the Japanese government for those crimes, this is a big provocation, and the netizens really went after her and GD on Instagram about it. In fact, GD left Instagram for a while last month because of it. LOL, trust me to get it wrong as usual. Anyhoo, Beyonce would never admit to getting inspiration from somewhere else. That's because she gets it all from God.

P.S.: It finally happened. I never thought I would see the day when I would say I like "Wolf." But I do. It crept up on me this week for no reason, and suddenly I can't get enough of the five-genres-in-one-song. The whole concept is pretty unique. I love the choreography and I'm even accepting of Kai's dreads. Damn.

Holy [!@#$%^&*]. That 2PM song is hilarious! Flying past that fake-ass moon just like ET. I wasn't fully familiar with 2PM before, but this new concept works great on them! I also love how 70s DISCO and Michael Jackson appears to be sweeping K Pop. First Taemin, then Jay Park, now this group. OMG, the look on the face of (Taecyeon) the guy pretending to fly a bicycle. BEAST's comeback weirdly seemed over before it began. It was a good comeback, too, but their entertainment company cut it too short IMO. Hopefully this means that they are recording and will be back with another album soon. In the meantime, I will look forward to listening to Midnight as I have never heard that song before, and I love when they do slow renditions of songs. CL and Taeyang... why do I think these two have had a fling? At least they are the same height! Her make-up is so on point. LOL, yes... And So It Begins. Speaking of on point, Siwon's eyebrow game is FLAWLESS.

Not to mention GINA. The Lisa V of this particular franchise.

Wait, so it's TWO MONTHS until the next batch of RH shows?! I refuse to watch NJ, it is awful. In the meantime, I am going to continue checking out RH of Melbourne. I am on episode 6. It's gittin GOOOOD.

So that's Taecyeon -- I have heard that name everywhere but couldn't place the face. He is a cutie, and that is a really nice story about his willingness to do his military service at the expense of his US residency. I hope one day that the two Koreas will be united under SK democratic rule so that maybe mandatory military service can become a thing of the past. In the meantime, it is great that we can benefit from his services to K Pop hotness, and this latest mini album looks like it will be a fun one. Can't wait to check it out when it officially releases. LOL, EXO would not exist without the Super Junior template. From the looks to the Chinese members! It gives me hope that EXO will progressively become more comfortable in their own skins and start enjoying the MV s and performing because right now they are exhausted and going through the motions. In TV appearances, they are guarded to the point of fear, with only Chen and sometimes Kai, Sehun and Tao, being able to let loose. That Sehun gif you posted (and which I had in my siggie -- it will likely return because Sehun looks so fly in it) was from a TV show EXO have done where they recreate MVs from K Pop songs of the 90s. I wouldn't watch the shows themselves unless you are also a fan of those 90s groups. They cover a lot of background and the SM Rookies are promoted throughout, so that is a distraction. Sehun got the song Yo! by Shinhwa and after he had warmed up a little was able to show of his sassy Qween Sehuna self. But it was still a long hour until the last 10 minutes when they showed Sehun's video. Here are some other gifs of that performance: Sehun sassing: Dark Sehun and Light Sehun fighting through a mirror: Devil Sehun: DO was in a K drama show where I think he played a character suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease. Apparently he really won over the KOrean public with his performance so there could be a lot more acting roles in his future. Acting is something he has been studying so great for him! Suho looks so good in both those shots, and I love the crazy dark hair on him! I miss it. Right now, apparently, it is Korean Thanksgiving and Suho has gone on a mini vacation with Tao and Sehun. I hope they remember to take care and make a fuss of their sweet little hyung (or "Big Momma" as they called him in Happy Camp). This popped up on my YouTube feed today, quite coincidentally. It's a Super Junior song called Swing. I really like the MV! I haven't listened to all of Mamacita yet but it's clear this group knows what it is doing and is one of the most fun in K Pop. They certainly have helped to establish SM as the #1 entertainment company in SK (along with YG). And yes, Siwon is fine at ANY age, lol. I really should get into SJ as they are closer to my age group too. It's so weird that I am stanning for those young kids in EXO, lol. Yeah, BTS's Danger is not that catchy, though I liked the choreography in the MV. The song by BTS that I really like is We Are Bulletproof. I've been listening to that one a lot: Aww GD. This is not the first time we have seen him with little kids. He seems to really click with them.

Wow, you guys really think they should cancel RHoNY? It give me life this season. I would rather they cancel BH and especially NJ before they can NY, tbh. It is so much more watchable than those two franchises right now. Although I agree that Heather, Carole and Kristen are not connecting with the audience. I enjoy Carole's wit and Heather is a goddess but it is just not enough to bring in an audience, I guess. Personally, I would make Sonja a 'friend of,' keep pitbulls Ramona and Aviva so that they can fight pitbull Jill who is CHOMPING at the bit to return. LuAnn should be made a full-time HW, Heather and Carole too if they are willing to engage and SHADE ToxicJill forever. On the fence about Kristen. I liked Alex but I don't necessarily miss her or Simon so... And Kelly and Cathy can both stay gone. Bethenny looks down on the show so I'm not sure I need that attitude "gracing" us with her presence tbh.

I just finished watching the second part of Reunion. It was glorious. Vicki's entire speech at Tamra, I have never heard Vicki so eloquent in her shade, in her dragging of anybody before. She destroyed Tamra verbally. Tamra couldn't believe it. The great thng about the speech is that, even if it was rehearsed, I believe every line of it. Vicki is happier this year. And she finally recognizes that Tamra feeds on other people's unhappiness. Hence why Tamra was trying to kiss up to Shannon -- she senses that Shannon's marriage is still not as fab as Shannon makes out now. And T is ready to exploit that in order to feel better about herself and the emptiness in her own life. I wouldn't be surprised if by next season, both Shannon and Tamra are on their way to breakups tbh. I loved RHoOC this season -- it's the little show that could. It keeps surprising me, keeps raising the standard and bringing it. Best franchise of 2014 IMO (although I know RHoA would probably win that award in a popular vote ). I also love how genuinely fond Andy seems to be of the show and this cast. I have never seen him so comfortable and at ease with a cast as I did at this Reunion tbh. He wasn't afraid to push the issue with some of the women either.

2PM's disco-ish teaser: I'm intrigued. And whoever he is, is cute! And here is another Chinese variety show featuring EXO playing random crazy games. They usually do well on those mainland shows (think Happy Camp): http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/14120576.html#comments#comments That D.O. gif, tho. He is so not into this game.

I like Carole and Kristen but IA that maybe Aviva should have stayed, even though she didn't really do anything except at the very beginning of the season and on the final episode. When the chips are down, Aviva goes Cujo and it is rarely boring. I hate ToxicJill with a passion -- bringing her back is sending her the wrong message (i.e.: evil gets rewarded). But I admit if she came back and Bravo marketed it righr, the ratings would go up. And Aviva vs Jill? OMG, I would pay to see that. RHoNJ was awful last season (I couldn't even finish it) and this season looks DOA. If Teresa goes to the pokey, you can stick a fork in it because it will be done. Honestly, bringing MeHoLissa, Joey and the rest of Teresa's family in S3 was the death knell for the show. Even if that famewhore probably isn't the cause of this season's borefest, she still helped to drag the show to the point of no return where it is today.

Empress Lisa and Miss Eileen look flawless. Frumpy to the right, god. Obviously I dislike Kyle but realistically her figure isn't terrible. It's just that the dress is too busy, too low-cut and the upper part is too tight for her. Basically Kyle just buys whatever she thinks is trendy and will impress other people, regardless of whether it suits her or not. She is also wearing a touch too much jewellery for a summer day dress (Eileen is barely wearing anything except for earrings, and Lisa is wearing statement jewellery that fits with the formal style of her dress), and her bag is too stiff and 'evening.' [/Fashion Police]

I had never heard of them before the news of the accident, but this is utterly devastating, obviously. Their poor friends and families. I will spare you the details of the report I read, except to say that the extent of EunB and Rise's injuries were such that they could not be identified at first, indicating that they were thrown from the car -- hence, not wearing seatbelts. Sad day. Prayers go out to the families.

Well, EXO have been criticized for relying heavily on lip-syncing, so they must be trying out more live performances. Still, I wonder why they chose now -- when the group is completely run down after this summer's marathon of concerts, TV appearances and product promotions -- to sing live. Their voices are shredded (apart from Sehun's because, let's be real, "Eeee... Exxxx... Ohhhh" is one of two lyrics he sings in Overdose!). They are literally pushing through on Red Bull at this point and look like they are about to collapse. Suho's voice is almost gone. Poor Suho has been unwell in recent months, apparently he mentioned it in passing inn an IG post. Yes, he's still blonde, but at least he is parting his hair on the side now. I have such a MEGA crush on Kai that he could show up with pink hair (pls don't tho Kai) and I would still swoon over his burning hotness. But he looks amazing with dark hair, and so I'm even more glad he looks so handsome. lol. That Korean girl lolz. I can only imagine that Kai did some kind of pelvic thrust in her general direction and her poor heart couldn't contain itself. ETA: Sorry for talking about EXO so much lol -- I that group a lot so do tell me if I'm talking too much about them. BTW, IA with you on the Jay Park song. He looks really good and, more importantly, like he is having a lot of fun. He was so cute bopping in MJ's red jacket! He's a smooth mover, too.
