The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Finale

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Finale

(January 29, 2012) – My reaction to Lisa’s daughter’s wedding surprised me. All season long I felt indifferent to Pandora and Jason tying the knot and I’ve made no secret of my boredom with Kevin Lee, the wedding planner many other people find hysterically funny. But truth be told, Kevin’s over the top “spend, spend, spend” doesn’t interest me.

Despite my disinterest in this shindig, I was enchanted by all of it and I shed a few tears when I heard Ken’s speech and also when I watched him dance […]

God Rest Ye Merry Housewives

(December 23, 2011) – It looks like we’re going to have a big break from the Housewives over the next two weeks while Bravo goes on a mini hiatus for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

Beverly Hills will return on January 2nd, Atlanta on the 8th and those blond ladies in Coto de Cazes will be back for season 7 on February 7th with Heather Dubrow, the new token brunette that the suits at 30 Rock are so proud of themselves for casting in contrast to their posse of highlighted […]

The Surreal Housewives of Beverly Hills

The Surreal Housewives of Beverly Hills

(December 20, 2011) – Last night, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills seemed to enter an alternate, illogical universe. Even though we’re fairly used to having reactions to scenes that are completely unlike those of our friends and other bloggers, we’ve never before experienced an entire episode of a Bravo show where almost nothing anyone said or did made any sense to us. As a result we could probably spend a few days typing a list of the things we found puzzling and/or implausible.

1. We do not believe even […]

Russell Could Not Clean Up His Image

Russell Could Not Clean Up His Image

(November 26, 2011) – Richard Johnson, the genius gossip columnist who spent a lifetime at Page Six before heading west and taking over the LA bureau of The Daily, published a very interesting item yesterday about Russell and Taylor Armstrong of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Because there is no point in rewriting or repacking the words of a truly great society writer, here is the entire text:

“In the final days before he hanged himself, Russell Armstrong — whose wife Taylor stars on “Real Housewives of Beverly […]

How bizarre is this photo we found on sipwithsocialites.com?

(October 29, 2011) – Well, it looks like on Monday, Russell Armstrong is going to make his first appearance in season 2 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Oddly enough, we are more shocked by his suicide today than we were back in August when it happened. And we are not sure why. Perhaps it is because with all of the hoopla about Dana Wilkey’s pricey wardrobe and the squabbling Richards Sisters, we’d nearly forgotten about his tragic choice. And […]

Russell Armstrong: The Ghost of Rodeo Drive

Russell Armstrong: The Ghost of Rodeo Drive

(September 21, 2011) – We’ve always joked that some of these Housewives shows are haunted by unseen characters who seem to dominate the plot lines. Like Big Poppa who early on figured so prominently in Atlanta but was never filmed, and Bethenny Frankel who continued to be a central figure in New York even though she’s moved onto far greener pastures, Russell Armstrong is now the ghost of  Rodeo Drive. And during the last episode, his presence was everywhere.

As you will remember after a great day on the slopes […]

5 things we learned from the Real Housewives of Bevery Hills

5 things we learned from the Real Housewives of Bevery Hills

(September 5, 2011) – Bravo did a spectacular job last night, juggling the conflicting goals of the premiere episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills‘ season 2.

Under the spotlight of the world press after Russell Armstrong‘s suicide three weeks ago, the show’s producers had to weigh two opposing obligations. First there was the importance of being sensitive to what was a shocking tragedy. Second was their responsibility to deliver a show that picked up where the voyeuristic fun of last season left off when we last saw […]

(September 5, 2011) – Now that everyone and her sister (including us) has opined on Bravo’s culpability in the suicide of Russell Armstrong, four of the Real Housewives of New York spoke to People magazine to give their take on the senseless tragedy.

Revealing that Russell’s suicide made her cry, Ramona Singer told People. “[Taylor is] lovely and it’s hitting her hard. The night before the memorial service, I had dinner with Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards and we talked about it. And they’ve been so supportive.”

“I think […]

Did Bravo film a suicide special with the Beverly Hills cast?

(August 30, 2011) – The Los Angeles Times is reporting that early yesterday morning, Bravo filmed a suicide special featuring the entire cast of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, except of course, Taylor Armstrong whose estranged husband Russell Armstrong took his own life two weeks ago. It is unclear when it will air.

Will Taylor Armstrong offer Bravo a one-hour interview?

(August 26, 2011) – Despite all the talk that Russell Armstrong‘s suicide has had Bravo on a tailspin, trying to  to deal with season 2 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, today Page Six reported there is talk that the network is considering a one-hour sit down interview with Taylor Armstrong and Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen.

“They’ve been discussing options for a week, but no programming has been formalized,” an unnamed Page Six source revealed. Denying there is any truth to that rumor, a […]
