Shangrilala

I agree that Kourtney is a total famewhore at this point, however I do think that should the show end tomorrow she would be perfectly fine to just go on living life off of the E! cameras.

I won't lie, but I really REALLY dislike the idea of June being in love with Nick. That relationship is one of desperation. Not love. He might make her feel like a bit of a human being again, and less of a possession but that doesn't equate to love. In the book they fall in love. But that never came across onscreen for me. Just because he's kind to her (when it suits him) doesn't mean that she has to fall in love with him and I'm a bit irritated that they would go there in the show and don't understand the purpose -- it feels like nothing more than a plot device.

Wait. Hold up. Tinsley Mortimer? She joined RHONY????????? Please excuse me while I go trot on over to the RHONY message board to see what this is about.

Why is she wearing a sofa slipcover?

Wow - the similarities between Khloe and Alex Rodan...just pointing that out again.

Kim has given birth to 2 children and is 36. Her body has changed, especially after a 2nd pregnancy (she's seen what's going on, it happens to every woman, and she's no exception no matter how many hours you clock with a trainer or in the surgeon's office or photoshop your selfies). And it's going to keep changing as she gets older and there's not a damn thing she can do about it. It's just nature. And nature will beat out plastic surgery. I mean, they were talking about Kim's cellulite in the very first episode of the series. The only reason Kourtney looks as good as she does right now - and I think she's getting too skinny - is 1) genetics (she is the most petite of the older sisters) 2) her healthier eating and exercise lifestyle, (and unlike the others I do believe she and Kendall work hard to keep what they have) that she's been committed to since Mason was a baby and 3) aside from a boob job, she didn't try to make herself into a real life Jessica Rabbit. Khloe is going to have the same issues as Kim.

I'm late to the game on watching this episode but I just had to comment on the Kendall storyline because honestly, what struck me was what Kendall DIDN'T say - that she was mortified that she had no idea that the ad could be offensive. That's what she's most upset about - her own ignorance on the matter. That just makes her, and her family, and their lifestyle look even more ridiculous. I suppose her statement could have been that the ad really underscored that her view of the world is shaped by extreme white privilege and the reaction to the ad was a wake-up call to her that she should learn more, do more, etc. But something like that would never happen. So instead she has to cry that she would never hurt people, never meant to...but at the base of that is the fact that she truthfully has absolutely no idea and that just makes her look like a dolt.

I just think it's funny that she thinks that 12 weeks of exercise would change things that drastically.

Actually when I got engaged, my mom was constantly telling me that I needed a weekly mani - if I was going to be showing people my ring, my nails had to be done so my entire hand looked nice. Or something like that. But if she'd had her way my legs would have remained closed until I was married. So I guess any similarity to Kris ends with a manicure lol.

When did flashing your nipples, sitting with your legs splayed open, public sex in music videos and walking around in nothing but leggs nude stocking become the equivalent of female empowerment? God, I'm old.

That house stood vacant in town for a little while. When Siggy and her husband bought it they originally wanted to tear it down and rebuild. But the town wouldn't let them - who knows why since the town has 10 new McMansions popping up every day. Maybe their architect wasn't familiar with the town ordinances and when it got refused they decided to work with what they had? Or maybe there was enough neighborhood pushback - it is across the street from a famous house on the historic register - that the plans didn't get approval. Who knows. But instead they did a major renovation on the house that already existed on the property and it is absolutely stunning - it looks like it should be sitting on a bluff overlooking the ocean. But it is gorgeous. Because all of the new construction looks the same when you have people do a restoration on an older home it just makes it stand out even more. In a good way.

Won't work. I don't mean to be discouraging but it won't. It's not about weight loss for him. There are some real emotional issues that need to worked out here. Maybe it's with a therapist, maybe it's with a psychiatrist. Who knows. But then, and ONLY then will the weight come off and stay off. No matter how much he wants it now. Let's just take a look at what we know about Rob's upbringing: 1) Only boy in a family of all girls where we know he was poked/picked at because he was male. 2) Child of divorced parents - and a mother who had an affair, leading to the divorce. 3) Older sister sex tape. 4) Family featured on a reality show, for all the good, bad and ugly to be seen, dissected, criticized, etc. 5) Unhealthy relationship with sister Khloe -- disguised as "close" 6) Witnessed drug use, break down and other "bad things" that happened between Khloe and Lamar. 6) PArticipated in drug use and other "bad things" that happened between Khloe and Lamar. 7) Fat shamed, mocked and ridiculed by family members, in addition to media. 8) Got in a relationship with a money-hungry Blac Chyna which was clearly abusive (on both sides). 9) Single father of an adorable baby but now engaged in a nasty custody battle. 10) A stepfather who transitioned 10) Diabetes diagnosis and who knows what other health problems. I'm not trying to make apologies for Rob, I actually think he's an asshole. BUT...I do feel sorry for him. Perhaps even more so than somebody like Kyle. Take the average person, just one of those things can send them running to a therapists office. But all of that? In a family that is so clearly just focused on the success of the women? So there's zero support structure for him, and ZERO support for him taking the initiative himself to get the mental help and support he might actually need? That one episode where Kourtney brought in the family therapist, and Rob started crying about how unsupported he felt should have been a trigger to any mother...but Kris just started making it about herself and not wanting her kids to be upset. These women think it's all about weight loss. Kris will hook Rob up with any dietician in the world who will make him a raw egg protein shake, but she won't encourage her own son to get the emotional therapy he needs? The whole thing is sad.

Can we just talk for a minute about how Khloe and Kylie, the most atrocious and utterly foul members of this family have procreated and are going to be MOTHERS? Think about this. It's horrifying. And when you consider that they all say that khloe practically raised Kylie.....these poor babies. They are doomed. #savethekbabies

Ugh, she looks so hard. And old. And weird. And for fuck's sake, these girls have gorgeous hair. Can they please just let it do it's natural gorgeous thing?

Who's that tiny little thing on the left and why is Kendall hugging her leg?

why are they all orange?

Well, no worry about me going out that way. I'm 40 (gravity is real), have had 2 children (breastfeeding boobs are real) and still haven't lost the all the baby weight from my youngest 5 years ago. Nobody wants to see me wearing a fishnet and walking down the street. This trend only "works" with people who are 18 and perky or who have a plastic surgeon on speed dial. Janet Jackson must be REALLY pissed. Just saying. I also can't help but wonder if Kim really enjoys that this is what she has to do for attention. Or if she believes that this is what she has to do for attention. I mean, I know she started from a sex tape but I do think that she believes that legitimacy would come. And despite what she has accomplished from a business standpoint (and she has been successful, let's be real about that), even now, people still really only want her for her willingness to do stuff like this. That has to sting at least a little bit. Right?

Kim and Bey can both be really fu*king unlikable in their own right, one doesnt have to be compared to the other to justify the dislike. Beyonce is talented. But her ego is so out of control, her Queen Bey status makes her unlikeable on the level of Kanye and his Yeezus alter-ego shtick. Now Kanye has since had a mental breakdown which may explain some of his self-inflated ego. What's Beyonce's excuse? You can be immensely talented without needing a crane to get you to the top of your own pedestal.

Field trip anyone??? http://www.refinery29.com/2017/07/164417/kim-kardashian-marriage-kris-humphries-opera

Here's the question that keeps me up at night. Okay, not really, but here's what I truly wonder. As much as I don't like the current fashion forward trends, they do seem to be catching on to mainstream. If I want a dress with a cape to hide my arms? I can find that. If I want to go with the whole minimalist post apocalyptic look, I can find that. If I want to look like I'm wrapped up in an ace bandage, I can find that. And every time I see these trends, I think back to Kim and think how she was the first person I saw wearing them. Truly. And we all laugh at how hideous it is. And the next thing you know you can find the look everywhere from Nordstrom to Target. And now she's basically waltzing down the street in saran wrap. The trend is pushing more and more nudity. Is saran wrap going to be hanging in Target in 3 months time, paired with a trench and thigh high boots as the must-have-fall-look? I actually find it kind of disturbing that this is the direction that fashion is going. And on a side note, I kind hated Beyonce for that picture of the twins. Take a seat B, you are NOT the virgin mary. Drop the garden and blue veil and just shoot a picture of your twins cuddling during naptime together. The ego on this woman is horrendous, and I don't care what she brings to back it up. The only nice thing I took away from that picture is that it really did look/feel similar to the Malibu setting that Kim snapped North in on instagram about a week or 2 ago. I wonder if things are on the mend with Kanye and JayZ?

I thought I heard somewhere that prior to the show, the family rarely ever came together or spent time together?

Yep. If she says anything at all. She may just defer the question as I'm sure they've all been instructed to do by their attorneys.

Before they 5150 him, can Rob please spill on the "really dark things" that happened with Khloe and Lamar?

Ugh. I might hate Chyna more than Rob. I said from the start that I thought that both she and Tyga were in it for the money and I wouldn't be surprised if there was some scheme or agreement between them. And I hate that I'm defending her here BUT what Rob did is not okay. Posting naked photos of a person will never be okay. EVER. No matter what videos they privately send you to get you angry. No matter what they say about you in the press or on instagram. It will never be okay, it is never justified, and Rob had better face the consequences for this. And let's not forget that at the end of the day, Chyna is Dream's mom and she will always be Dream's mom. Rob just did that to his daughter's mother. If he can't understand why posting these photos is completely disgusting, and degrading and a reflection on his true character, then perhaps he should consider that he just did this to his daughter's mother.

It's a diss, and I'm no fan of Kanye but it was low of Jay-Z. There are clearly mental issues going on with Kanye, he was hospitalized for a breakdown, it has come out that people were getting concerned even prior to that, and anybody with a set of eyes can see that he is medicated. At that point - hands off. And I'm sure this wasn't written last week. So...way to kick him when he's down, Jay-Z.
