Just because someone is over 50, doesn't mean they can't dress or be sexy. However, there has to be a better way to appear attractive and alluring than telling everyone you're wearing crotchless underwear or waxing your ass on tv cuz your husband loves butt or having your boobs on full display. I've never met up with a friend and immediately started telling them how cute or hot they look or talked about sex with my husband. But maybe I'm just out of touch.
Shane did make me laugh when he told Emily she'd be the fastest on the slip & slide 'no friction'
I have two friends that I have known since Elementary school. We are now 68 years old. We have been through first loves, marriages, divorces, children, loss of parents and in one case a sibling, parents divorcing, you name it. Yes, we discussed losing our virginity, but not in any detail. In all these years, although we have certainly discussed the men in our lives, we have never discussed our sex lives in any detail. I see it all the time on these shows. I suppose it could be generational with the new batch of NY women, who were discussing details on the first episode, but the OC Howives are not that far behind us in age. It's weird to me.

Here is the bottom line on this whole story which is, IMO, just more lies. One of the people Graham loved was suddenly gone and Rachel used him to punish James by barely letting him see him. My guess is sticking it to James was the only reason she kept him. Neither her or her scummom wanted him. Whether he bit or not, they wanted him gone. So what is the right thing to do? Contact James to see if he wants him back? Still too bitter, angry or whatever to give James the satisfaction? Your daughter is on Lisa Vanderpump's show, or at least has been for several years Is there anyone that has watched a few episodes that does not know that dogs are Lisa's passion? And, oh yeah, she runs a no kill rescue. The dog has appeared on her show. Say what you will about Lisa, her care for animals is very real. Contact her and see if she can help. They had to know she would. I get contacted every time one of my neighbors find a stray animal and I don't own the rescue or have the authority to just accept animals, but they still contact me. They can explain this away until Rachel gains a brain, it won't change the fact that they handled this wrong. And this is a step too far. I never want to see that vile, cheating, lying, dog dumping POS on my TV screen. Ever.

I was looking for proof vs hearsay of Family Dingbat obtaining Graham from a breeder.
I failed my mission but did stumble upon this interesting tidbit from Aug 22 which was new to me but appropriate behavior for the contestant. She truly is not prepared for life as an adult.
Pump Rules: Raquel Leviss ends up trapped with her dog Graham Cracker
"Taking to her Instagram Stories, Raquel gave her followers a tense look at their situation and detailed how the two ended up in the mess to begin with."
"Panning her camera over to the doors of the elevator and then to her pup Graham standing on the elevator floor, Raquel shared, “I grabbed my packages and I, like, forgot — I dropped his leash.”
"She continued to say, “And his leash is stuck in the elevator. So, that is the current update.”
I'm a little surprised she figured out to unhook the leash.

Yes, responsible rescues always take a dog, or cat back.
Rescues provide info to previous adopters if they ask, county shelters don't.
I volunteer at a rescue. I have several friends in rescue. We do not inform someone that has dumped their dog or cat what happens to that animal going forward. Ever. They gave up their right to know when they relinquish them. We might make an exception if we felt the reason for the relinquishment was valid as in the case of someone who became too ill themselves to care for the pet-we did let a terminally ill woman who had been devastated to give up her beloved cat that her baby got a wonderful home. But Graham was in a home for several years. There would have been no sympathy for these people. We don't like people that dump their pets. Putting it mildly. I also seriously doubt a reputable rescue just had them drop the dog at the trainers. I call bullshit. First, it's unlikely they would have taken a dog with a severe bite history. Rescues are overflowing with adoptable dogs. They cannot afford to take on an unadoptable one but, if they did, they would have assessed him first. And if he bit the trainer and his wife, they certainly did not turn around and adopt him out. They could have liability. We had a biter not long ago-not disclosed prior to accepting him. He went through 6 weeks of Intensive training, then was brought back to the shelter to continue the training and, finally, went to an experienced foster for 8 weeks to ensure the training held in a home situation. He was finally put up for Adoption to an Adult only home and he is doing great. But it was a long, expensive process. And we would not give the owner the time of day if they checked on him, much less a progress report.

From Graham's mucrochip. All animals that are adopted from shelters, and rescues have one. All my cats and dogs are microchipped- I added my info after I adopted them. The website of the microchip company has all the previous owners' information.
Wait, did he come from Lisa's rescue? I thought scum mom probably bought from a breeder. All of our pets are microchipped to us so if they ever end up in a shelter anywhere, we can get them back. We also take our animals back, no matter what. We just had an 18 year old cat brought back to us when the mom died. It is probably in Lisa's contract, as it is in most rescues. Lisa would be especially livid if Graham came from Vanderpump dogs.

James and Ally have posted Instagram shorts of them with Graham. James has posted Pics.
I think the fact that neither James or Lisa have talked to the press, is because this is going to be filmed/or already has been filmed for Season 11.
The pics and Insta-stories show a calm and happy Graham.
You are probably right about the filming. I was hoping they would comment, but thar makes sense.
5 hours ago, Jel said:Do shelters normally keep the people who have given up a dog in the loop? Like is it normal to tell them that the dog you surrendered but the new owner and that the dog was returned? And that they contacted another shelter for financial assistance? I would think you surrender a dog and that’s the end of their obligation to you. None of that adds up to me.
No. I Volunteer at a No Kill Shelter. If someone relinquishes we are certainly not going to give then updates. Like most groups we do have Social Media sites so they could potentially follow to see if the animal is still available, but a rescue is not going to put this BS on Social Media and they are not going to adopt out a dog that has bitten without plenty of time to rehabilitate, train and observe. It would not be a quick process to adopt a dog out with that history. If it was true which I seriously doubt.

And so it really looks like Bravo wasn’t having success hiring credible, decent-calibre people to work with the OGs and round out a stable cast. After season 7, Tinsley (who seemed desperate to rehab her image rather than someone who actually had an aspirational lifestyle perspective to offer) lasted the longest and then got run off the show. After season 9, the season ratings started to gradually tank and just kept getting worse, which, IMO, tracks with the OGs (including Bethenny and her constant narc breakdowns) going off the rails and Bravo miscasting or not being able to find people to replace all the ones they couldn’t keep. Either way, you can’t do a HW show with three people; enter the likes of Crappie Lake.
Whether the reboot lasts, I don’t really care. It just would have been cool to see Jenna and maybe a few of the new ones in the days when the legacy cast was still trying to pretend to have all that elegance and class LuAnn likes to talk about. 😂 I “miss” those days of the show.
I agree, this would have been better if they added a couple of these to replace Leah and Eboni and it might have been better.

I finally watched fully expecting to hate it. The original was, for many years, my favorite franchise. Once Leah and Eboni joined I could not even make it through the last season. I am surprised to say I didn't hate it. Maybe I will in the end, but at least I made it through an entire episode which is more than I can say for the God awful Dubai. I will watch again and see what happens. I just hope we saw more of the children because they were being introduced and they will not continue to be featured. I don't watch these shows for kids. I will say it was refreshing to see an argument, petty as it was, not fueled by Alcohol. I drink occasionally and have no issues with anyone drinking socially, but most of these shows just feature a bunch of stupid drunk women and it's tiresome-OK, the Countess in the Bushes was a classic, but not all scenes are. Especially knowing what came after in her life.

Apparently, the earlier post about rachel signing her contract was misleading.
Raquel Leviss Still in Negotiations for 'Vanderpump Rules,' No Deal in Placehttps://www.tmz.com/2023/07/12/raquel-leviss-negotiations-vanderpump-rules-no-deal/
According to Up and Adam!, VPR operates on a tiered payment program-cast is either paid salary or day rate.
"Every season it is a set salary-tiered program regarding payment, not like Housewives where they can negotiate dollar figures. VPR you are either Salary or a day rate, and it starts the first season you start filming. The first season you get $3-5 thousand if you are lucky, after that, it goes up, and then if you stay on for long enough by S8, Stassi was commanding $600,000/season. With her playing hardball can she negotiate against the same tier program that has been put in place for all the other cast members."
Her thirsty family, aka PR Team, going for the $$ grab, guaranteed good edit, and/or FBI protection totally dismisses her mental health claims. Hopefully, her insurance salesman stage dad is pricing her out of a deal as the show absolutely does not need her.
Curious about what leverage she thinks she has. Bravo already has Sandoval and Ariana under contract for the season, so we'll get *some* version of the behind-the-scenes post-Scandoval stuff with or without rachel. No one wants to film with her. Who wants to watch a PR team-negotiated storyline? Altho I would consider watching a dumped rachel stalk a non-interested sandy all around West Hollywood.
Imagine selling what little you have left of your soul to be "ínfamous" and money for another nose job. 3-month mental health facility for making poor choices - sure rachel.
She should not be rewarded. She brings nothing anyway. Is the season just going to be everyone yelling at her whole She looks at them like the idiot she is? That totally blank stupid stare? Pass..

I really can't blame Bravo for wanting to extend season 13. At the reunion last fall at the end of season 12, Kyle was asked about the heart tattoo and said that it meant something to her. So obviously she was in deep enough then with Morgan to get matching tattoos.
In the off season, she continued to go to events with Morgan, and even vacation with her. Now we won't know until we see the upcoming season, but other than Kyle and Mo acknowledging that they had a rough year, it doesn't appear as if Kyle's relationship with Morgan will be a part of her storyline, though it seems obvious now that their relationship continued. It appears that Kyle and Mo waiting until after (they thought) filming ended to acknowledge the true status of their relationship.
This season will not start airing until later this year, so even the reunion shows for season 13 where Kyle's new relationship might be brought up would be almost a year away from now. Heck, Kyle could be divorced and remarried by then, or on to another relationship.
That is the problem with these "reality" shows where there is such a gap between when they are filmed, and when they air. But the fact remains that Bravo is paying Kyle to share her life with the viewers, and it appears that she bet on being able to keep it under wraps until after she collected her paycheck for season 13. So while I feel sorry for her girls, I don't feel sorry for Kyle.
I am almost sorry Rinna won't be there to tell her to "own it". Almost.

Season 13 of the reality series had wrapped up but news broke that star Kyle Richards and her husband Mauricio Umansky were separating after 27 years of marriage.
Deadline has learned that filming for the show has resumed and cameras will pick up reactions from Richards and some of the housewives, reminiscent of what happened with Vanderpump Rules after “Scandoval” broke out.
Raise your hand if you are shocked that BRAVO would exploit this situation. Anyone? Bueller?

A quick Google search shows that some people were speculating on the Kyle/Morgan relationship several months ago. I don't care about the wedding ring, I don't always wear mine but it doesn't mean anything. But even I noticed Kyle talking about this Morgan chick a lot.
Something or someone gave People the go ahead to run the separation story. People Magazine is really a PR outlet for celebs nowadays, they aren't doing any hard hitting investigative journalism. The wording was interesting. They're not divorcing but they don't say they aren't separated. There was no wrongdoing on either part but they don't say there are no third parties involved. Possibly Kyle and Mo came to an agreement at some point that they could quietly see others? But Kyle has fallen hard and kind of publicly so a statement needed to be made?
Note that neither Kyle or Morgan has made any statement saying that they're just friends, speculation otherwise is ridiculous, etc.
As off as the whole thing seems, I am finding myself believing the rumors. I honestly don't see Kyle pursuing something with another guy. If you are getting too close to another man, you know it. But, a girlfriend? No red flags there, until there are. I have a friend from High School. She married, had a family and she and her husband were very close to another couple that they hung out and Vacationed with. About 20 years ago-we are all in our late 60's now, my friend and the woman in the other couple fell in love. She says that neither of them had ever been attracted to another woman and they had been close friends only for a long time. Each left their spouse and they have been together since and truly seem blissfully happy. The families and even ex husband's have come to terms with it. They even adopted a son, who is now in College. I guess I can kind of see it happening with Kyle. However, my friend and her wife had many years of friendship which surely built a strong foundation. Kyle seems more like a mid life crises, but I can see it starting innocent and just turning into something else.

You know he must really want out, because he’s got those business assets that are marital property to divide. Ouch! Unless, they had a prenuptial or got a post nuptial later on. Still…..it doesn’t always protect you the way you expect.
It sounds like she wants out. As for a Prenup, I doubt it, Kyle has talked about how broke they were when they got married. Granted, her view of "Broke" may differ from mine, but I don't think there was enough to worry about a Prenuptial.

Funny!! But, I'm still sad over this.
I can't stand either of them, but it is always a little sad when you hear about a long term marriage that appeared secure, break up. It's so hard to believe in happily ever after.

He did. I figured that was how he tolerated living with Kyle. I also always figured he cheated, but I am surprised that Kyle would. I don't like her, she is a shit stirring, backstabbing bitch. But, I believed she honestly loved him. Of course, eventual divorce doesn't mean two people weren't genuinely in love once. If it had been Dorit and PK, I wouldn't have batted an eye.

I don't think I have ever really been surprised by a Housewife break up before, but I have to admit this one did it. I immediately assumed Mauricio must have gotten too public with one of his side pieces but, wrong again, it seems. If the rumors are true about her new relationship, I am truly surprised. Even if she wanted to dip into the Lady Pond, a heavily tattooed country singer would not have been on my Bingo card.

S17.E08: Backyard Bikini Clash
in The Real Housewives Of Orange County
Well, Tamra has done one favor for Heather. Last year it seemed every post was about how horrible Heather was. Now, they are focused on how bad Tamra is. I agree, she is a truly Vile human being. Heather is pretentious as he'll, but she doesn't seem to spend every waking hour deliberately trying to hurt someone else. Probably because she is so self absorbed, but still.
