Robin Givens would be interesting. I think the problem with hiring an actress is that would undermine the Real Housewives... already tenuous credibility about being "real"...an actress is going to act, she wouldn't be able to help herself. As well, it's a 'jump the shark' for an acting career so whoever joined would have to really know the consequences.

RHoV... Great episode, relatively drama free, we got to know the new women better (hate Amanda, what a weak fool) and are seeing the groundwork for the rest of the season. Plus we got to see Gay Pride Weekend in Vancouver, one of the highlights of summer for everyone in the city.

Loving it.

OMG that episode of RHOBH was intense! Lisa & Kyle are *over* as friends and as far as I'm concerned it's time to for Lisa to pack it in and end her "friendship" with Kyle. It's a dead relationship and she's holding onto it for dear life. Been there, done that and it'll hurt Empress Lisa, but she'll be better off for it. Adrienne is a lying liar who lies. What a pig. I loved drunk off her ass, throwing caution to the wind Taylor. Read her Bravo blog, she calls Camille a bitch and Adrienne a liar.

The reason RHOV resembles RHOBH so much is because the production company behind RHOV went and studied the production model of the production company of RHOBH and went down and observed filming and editing. A very smart move on RHOV's part. I really warmed to Robin as well, she was so lovely with Remy and seems very genuine. Love the Russian, her attitude is a scream. Amanda is melba toast and seems like such an idiotic, basic bitch, plus she lives in a very average neighbourhood for RHOV standards. From what I understand the Ronnie/Mary relationship has deteriorated in a major way which is a shame only because Remy clearly adores her godmother and Mary and Ronnie have 18 years into their relationship.

RHOV kicked off beautifully. It's going to be an awesome season.

I re-watched that line three times because it's the truth.

What a great episode... Yolanda is great, she'll likely be a one season wonder (though I'd love her to stay), but her finally saying how awful Kyle is was a breath of fresh air and I'm sure Kyle won't forget it once the reunion rolls around, though it will be folly to challenge Yolanda who has the power and money to speak the truth and not apologize for it. Camille revealed something about herself: she's stupid. She failed to realize that Brandi brought up Adrienne's 2% ownership of The Palms to illustrate how Pandora having her hen party at Planet Hollywood wouldn't have benefited Adrienne since she owns a tiny minority in the place...her grasping at straws with Lisa's 51% ownership of SUR was unfortunate to see. 51% is controlling interest, it's controlling ownership, 2% is an embarrassing minority interest that doesn't infer control. Lisa, Empress of Beverly Hills, is the smartest woman to ever grace a Real Housewives franchise and any woman is a fool to challenge her. However, Lisa needs to borrow a line from RHOV's Ronnie Negus and "Know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em" when it comes to Kyle who is not her friend. Kyle is a bitch who doesn't like Lisa at all.

It debuts tomorrow! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=66qkyogs6fs

I hope Paul bankrupts Bernie and ruins his pathetic mess of a life. I've hated him the minute he took a shot at Empress Lisa.

Ugh we do NOT need a return from Jill Zarin. She's scum.

Running up to next week's RHoV premiere! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3RatjUqxC8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPee6v45RI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVnXsFEo90k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsLhnRXVHK0

As petty as it is of me, I feel obliged to say that my own home in Vancouver is in an area far superior to Amanda's neighbourhood. She lives in North Vancouver and is decidedly upper middle class, she'll be out of her league this round. Ugh, Adrienne is the worst, throwing around the word lawsuit when the fact of the matter is she can't sue for a damn thing. Absolute and utter bullshit. Adrienne is a fool, I can only assume she was forced to confirm things because the rest of the cast had done it for her. Well you never know about the Maloof fortune...

I agree, I like that the episodes build and it isn't a constantly negative, ugly show like NJ or even ATL to an extent, which is why I had to give up on those franchises. I really hate Adrienne too. She is the most humourless shrew to ever grace a RH franchise. And I've seen Jody Claman on RHoV... I love Yolanda. She is a sensible European woman, love her common sense and how dismissive she is of anyone and anything she deems beneath her. You've said it, BH has glamour and this glamour provides us with delicious beats to enjoy that the other franchises simply couldn't hope to provide. In Vanderpump Rules Lisa states that SUR is owned by herself, Ken and other partners, including Guillermo and his wife who are seen regularly in the show. Lisa explained that after decades running their London restaurants and clubs from the ground up, many late hours and missed weekends, taking on partners allowed them to be more "hands off" with the day to day aspects while focusing on the concept of the restaurant. The restaurant business is an amazingly awful one, most restaurants don't last a year. That Ken and Lisa launched over 25 bars, restaurants and clubs in London, arguably the most competitive market in the world, successfully, selling a group of them to the Trocadero Group in 2002 for over ten million pounds sterling, says a lot about their abilities. At the same time, taking on partners just protects them from over-investing into the business and from liabilities if they flounder. It's standard practice, why Camille would attempt to make it seem deceptive is beyond me, it's obvious she's desperate to return full time.

And may I just say I am addicted to Vanderpump Rules? It is absolute trash, but my goodness is it ever watchable trash.

The look on Lisa's face when she said "Hi" to Mauricio at the art gallery opening said it all. She cannot stand Kyle and Mauricio and it's plainly obvious that she tolerates them. K&M did choose Paul and Adrienne's side years ago and the attacks on Lisa are rooted in jealousy. It's pathetic. I really do think Kyle's the worst of the lot, she stirs up sh*t like a cyclone. After $25 million it's all extra, Yolanda, Adrienne and Lisa are all on the same financial field, if anything Lisa and Yolanda are in better shape since they have cash, not debt like the Maloof's allegedly do.

I just love Lisa. She is without peer.

There are my ladies! Looking good. The season promises to be dramatic. Simply put, Robin and Ioulia are definite friends of Mary with Amanda being more neutral. RHoBH: I love The Morally Corrupt Faye Resnick. She should replace Taylor who is now as relevant as the wedding ring she had to surrender in her settlement. Faye stirs up sh*t like nobody else I've seen. Her links to OJ, Kris Jenner, the Hilton's...she is an Angeleno through and through. She needs to land a permanent slot and you can tell she's thirsty for it. I watched Vanderpump Rules by accident thanks to that flawless transition...they're all so gross, Stasi's a dumbass, Shaenanana's (however you care to spell it) is a fool with her Britney Spears orgasmic noises (please), all the guys probably have the combined IQ of a kindergarten class...yet I may still watch, just to see who the hell Queen Lisa (fabulous, flawless, I'd follow her into the Bermuda Triangle) fires.

Is Denice Duff a Sc*entologist?

And the thing is, Christina wanted to leave. She was in it for a single season and not a moment longer. Reiko was fired, likely because she didn't bring enough "drama" which is a real pity because Reiko represents your typical Vancouver mother really well: outdoorsy, no bullsh*t, gluten free cooking, one of the girls etc. I am certain a lot of the changes have to do with all the women being tired of Jody (except Ronnie) so they needed new people to go against her.

Everyone's favourite non-entity, Dane Wilkey from RHOBH has moved to London... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2247217/Can-teach-baby-read-Its-latest-obsession-pushy-parents--reading-lessons-newborns-And-incredibly-theres-evidence-actually-works.html

Looking back at Season 1, Adrienne doesn't appear as cool as I (or anyone else I imagine) thought. Rather, she was quiet. You can't attack quiet, she provided no ammunition, she wasn't seeking visibility because none of the women were 'famous' yet...then she saw the potential for commercial success that followed Lisa and she tried to grab the brass ring and ended up revealing herself to be a dumb as a bag of rocks harpy.

The way Adrienne throws around the "lawsuit" catchphrase reminds me of another West coast housewife, albeit north of the border... =

That would be my guess as well and I really don't see the big deal if that's the case, I think it's actually been confirmed that she used a surrogate according to a few blogs and Kyle's own BRAVO blog...but I don't want the Maloof/Nasifs suing me either, so it's all alleged at this point. Adrienne is OLD, she's 51 and the mother of young boys, that she even had eggs worth using is a miracle in and of itself. I loved Lisa's scenes in the hospital with Ken, that is a woman who loves her husband, though I am a tad concerned for Lisa when she said she couldn't live without Ken, 16 years her senior, she will have to face that some day.

If it had Yolanda in it you're watching the current season. Lisa is so fabulous.
