The wedding is in May but the specific date and location are unknown. The first thing I thought is that is a passive-aggressive dig at Brandi as she is the one discussing the matter the most. BTW, in the video accompanying the Joanna Krupa article, is that Mohammed and his hair system at an adjacent table?

My theory about Kim since the earliest seasons is that Kim had the cognition and resources to get help with whatever issues / demons she had but she chose to go the learned helplessness route.

Brandi spoke to US Weekly at the (air quotes) star-studded launch of her Unfiltered Blonde Chardonnay but no1curr and the story is mostly about Lil Kimmy Richards with a little Eddie/LeAnn and Yolanda thrown in. From usmagazine.com

The Daily Mail has discovered / re-discovered House of Hilton. The write up focuses on Kim's marriages and Big Kathy. I take the claims with a grain of salt but still found a couple parts interesting. One was how Monty managed to stay part of Kim's circle after they divorced, and the second was that Kyle did a "run Kyle run" when she and Kim walked in on Big Kathy in bed with a man.

Chile my mind is strategerizing furiously on how I can get myself an addiction, get on the Dr. Phil show and then sent to Malibu Beach Sober Living, and if Dr. Phil recommends 30 days imma be like, "no I think I need 90 days but we can split the difference and I'll go for 60 days."

Did she actually go to the place Dr. Phil is recommending, based on his final comments it looks like he knows that Kim checked herself into rehab because of "reports" and not something he knows first hand. His last words before talking up Malibu Beach Sober Living were that there were reports that Kim checked herself into rehab and "we certainly hope it's true and we wish her the best."

That's my favorite too... so awesome! I can't wait to have the opportunity to mutter "in a bar" or whatever applies when having a conversation or watching someone on TV giving a ridiculous explanation.

It is speculation that it was Animal Control that led the dog / Kingsley out of Kim's home because the dog was being led out on a stick and not a leash. It could've been Animal Control, although in my neck of the woods their vehicles are marked and noticeable. To me it is also plausible that it could've been a trainer or rescue group picking up the dog. Kingsley is a celebrity in his own right and I would not be surprised if a media-friendly trainer / rescue group is willing to take him.

My first reaction reading the Chad quote, not that I'm absolving Kim. But then I thought about this as well: Sources: http://www.wetpaint.com/real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/articles/kim-richards-turns-48-classic-quotes-and-gifs-from-the-real-housewives-star http://popdust.com/2015/02/16/brandi-quitting-real-housewives/ http://www.bustle.com/articles/67735-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-have-marijuana-in-amsterdam-but-it-does-not-make-brandi

From the article:

So to clarify no one knows where Kim is other than, per TMZ, she checked herself into a facility in Malibu. There are several treatment centers in Malibu, with varying track records/reputations, and presumably most follow the Malibu model which is less regimented than the traditional model.

That backbone has to be exercised both on Kim and the producers who are itching to film a juicy scene.

Kim has been checked into rehab twice in the past five years, undoubtedly it's hella hard to get her there but not impossible.* Kim's family is probably used to employing numerous schemes and going on Dr. Phil made as much sense as anything else. My guess is that it all went to hell when it was outed that Kim was taking pills and smoking pot. Kimmy probably thought that she can control things by admitting to falling off the wagon because she drank alcohol, and then assert that she'd gotten her alcohol problem under control and when Dr. Phil inevitably brought up rehab she would counter that she will go to rehab after Brooke's wedding, go to a facility that would allow her to interact with Monty, and in the meantime work with her therapist. But when Kim's weed and especially pill use was brought out in the open then it was game over for Kimmy's plan because she wasn't being completely honest and therefore could not be trusted, although I doubt if anyone was dumb enough to trust her, but the counterarguments to how Kim wanted to run things were much more powerful, and Kim knowing that she could not control the situation left the set. ETA: * Getting her to stay and then work a program or long-term treatment plan are even bigger bugbears.

Admittedly I get a kick out of drunk/druggy/dry drunk Kim, (" I’ve had enough of you, you beast!") plus she's has access to way more resources than most addicts and has had more chances/opportunities, so I also find it hard to sympathize with her, but now I feel like she may be cornered and that is not good at all. I bet in her mind she has every intention to go to rehab or get some kind of therapy but is trying to buy time for various and sundry reasons including because she's orn'ry and controlling, but I can also see her trying to get one last binge in before she checks in, and hope and pray that nothing bad happens to her. This is a very disquieting time.

This is the video in the porte-cochere of the Beverly Wilshire. It doesn't look like the tail end of a storming out - Kim is wearing a different outfit and Kim and Kathy seem to be carrying a suit bag / clothes, so I guess the storming out happened but things calmed down, filming wrapped and people are leaving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI1zR6U2HOI

I will go back and re-read it but it seems like she's going to be allowed to go to the wedding. To me it seems like Kim is throwing out excuses as to why she cannot immediately check herself in and undoubtedly the timing will never be right, but some of the reasons/excuses are being accommodated, like she actually will be allowed to attend Brooke's wedding, and I bet when Kim's reasons/excuses are debunked, she gets particularly enraged. ETA, here's the excerpt:
