Persnickety1

I really wish Netflix would have gotten it instead. I loathe Hulu and their ass-dragging, skipping, freezing streaming, problems I never have with Netflix. The only reason I put up with it is when I desperately need a Real Housewives fix...even then I end up wanting to hurl my remote through the screen.

Here's a YouTube clip of production....Hopefully more information about the show starts coming out pretty quickly now:

I'm watching season 4 courtesy of Hulu. I'd forgotten what an entertaining season it was, what with Jeana still on board and Lynn and Gretchen being introduced. Since I've been cleared to go back to work a week from Monday, I am now making it my goal to sit through every episode of every season so that I'm all caught up before the season premiere in a couple of weeks. Woo hoo!!!

SCARY ISLAND FLASHBACK!!!!!! IMO, no one across all of these franchises will ever top the wax queen Cindy Barshop with her accessory twins. That woman appeared to be hopelessly absolutely clueless as to even hold her children, much less interact with them. I really need to watch that season again so I can see Sonja giving Cindy the "pecking order" lecture...after she rips her ass for dancing with her manservant. BTW, I've read a couple of tabloid headlines in the past couple of days that Ramona is wanting to reconcile with Mario. Damn, as good as she looks this season, being apart from Mario must agree with her on some level...and I really hope she thoroughly checked into the background of her partner in that sports bar before she maybe invested a whole lot of money into a venture with him. She wouldn't be the first (nor the last) vulnerable woman to get totally played (see Debra, mother of Farrah from Teen Mom...yikes!).

An interview with one-and-done Lydia about her experiences during and after her Housewives experience. Interesting that she's launching a book...a book in which Heather Dubrow refused to sign a release to be mentioned. She says she is now friends with Gretchen and still is friends with Alexis. Anyway, interesting read and don't miss the video interview at the end of the article, which has more information... http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2015/04/lydia-mclaughlin-real-housewives-orange-county-feud-heather-dubrow-tamra-barney-dumped/

7) Drinking and drugging are ok if someone STOLE YOUR GODDAMNED HOUSE!!! (On dear lawd, I just realized that Stevie even has on a Bow Tie Blouse similar to Kim's!)

Great find, mwell345. I wonder if she'll stay in rehab only until immediately after court appearance a week from now. Since this was her first offense, and with her Hilton connections and "celebrity" status, I'm seriously doubting the court would order her into a program, so she might feel free to just bounce from rehab immediately after her appearance if there's no contingency in place. I'm going to throw my hat into the ring and predict 15 days for this rehab stint before poor little Kimmie is on the loose again. Since I haven't read a firm date about when precisely she checked into a rehab facility, I'm just guessing it will be only until the judge pounds his/her gavel on May 10th.

Yeah, I'm about done with this show. We went from a couple of seasons of primarily OMG MY CATFISH IS FATTTTTTT, THE HORRORS!!! to this season of rewarding lying liars who admittedly lied to at least 2 episodes this season that were such a complete and utter clusterfuck that the viewers can't even figure out what's going on. I saw Markie went to Clovis High and my step-nephew and his girlfriend, who are just a couple of years older than Markie, also went to and graduated from Clovis High. Clovis High isn't very large, so I'm going to check and see if either of them know of this Markie person. Sounds like her escapades should be legendary amongst the student body population. BTW, how are y'all finding Blaire's Facebook page? Gawd help me, I know I'll regret it and probably go into mental overload, but I'd love to take a look at it. If we can't post the link here in the thread, feel free to PM it to me.

Right? She reminded me of those drunk drivers on Cops...they get pulled over and the cop asks them if they've been drinking. "Just one beer, officer." As they immediately fail the field sobriety test. I kind of got the impression that good old Kimmie had started drinking as soon as Brooke left for work that day. Probably was kicking back her vodka and tonics and thought she'd check in with her fan club on Twitter. Boy, did she ever have a surprise waiting for her, and not a good one.

***off to Google Julianne Morris and get some dirt***

I was totally hoping she'd walk out in the infamous Bow Tie Top from her RHOBH talking heads. BRILLIANT!!! *clapping*

From the previews, it looks like that won't be revealed until next week. Damn Lifetime and their cliffhangers.

I never purported she was a blazing success before the show so not sure where your challenge for me to name one thing came from. I think she had some sort of deal with Pepperidge Farm for that Bethenny Bakes crap that she couldn't give away and was trying to get Skinny Girl off the ground. Since I never claimed she was successful before the show I don't feel obligated to Google her life history to support a claim I didn't make, LOL. I posted about her charity work because I remembered I had read about her supporting Dress for Success and her ad campaign for PETA that was filmed for the show. I have no interest in googling to see if she's on the board of directors of anything, but presumably you have and the answer is no. I'll have to remember to put on my best behavior when the subject of Heather is raised, apparently.

Yeah, I have to admit she kind of lost me in episode 1 of this season. She's been in journalism for decades...she's written 2 books, one of which at least was a best seller...yet she's sitting there with her editor acting like she doesn't know what a fucking contract entails or what a deadline is? Even her editor looked positively dumbfounded (understandably). I don't know where the fresh hell she was trying to go with that bullshittery but even the fictional Carrie Bradshaw knew what a contract and a deadline were. Carole can skip me with whatever she was trying to sell there because I'm not buying it. Ignorance is never cute whichever gender is involved, but for a successful 50-something-year-old woman to act (and I'm going to assume it was, in fact, an act due to her previous successes) in such a manner just left me scratching my head. I can't perceive on what level, if any, she thought that would be a good look for her. As far as her and Adam are concerned, hey, I'm a cougar extraordinaire and Mr. Persnickety is more than a decade younger than I am so no judgment there. Interestingly, I didn't have to take any club drugs nor puke all over him...but then I don't strive to look vulnerable. But I wouldn't mind taking a ride in a pedicab. That sounds like fun. Bethenny also supports several charities: Charities & foundations supported 6 Bethenny Frankel has supported the following charities listed on this site: Candie's Foundation Children's Health Fund Dress for Success Hero in Heels PETA Wish Upon A Hero Foundation https://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/bethenny-frankel

I agree. Gretchen (and Slade) from RHOC generated tons of comments as well, mostly negative, just like Kim (although for entirely different reasons). Bravo unceremoniously cut them loose because it appeared the majority of the fans (and the other OC housewives) felt they were being duplicitous and creating their own storylines. I think Bravo also looks at the content of the social media, not just the quantity.

"Lying by the pool in Bel Air..." Yeah, talk about superfluous information. He even hash tagged #belair, for fuck's sake. Yeah, asshat, sorry you're dying but unnecessary details about your elite socioeconomic status make me a wee bit less sympathetic to your plight.

There goes Kimmie's shot at another guest appearance on Revenge: http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/canceled-shows-from-the-2014-15-tv-season-revenge-and-more-2015294

Preceded by "Do you know who I am? Google me!" Yup, I can totally see her drunken self-important ass trying to get other patrons who, as Dr. Phil put it, "you don't know from Adam" to buy her drinks. Loved it when she said the cops didn't even give her time to walk, they just picked her up. I can just envision them storming in as soon as they heard her finally unlock that bathroom door and carrying her out by her arms. Too bad they're infamously discrete at the Polo Lounge, because I'd pay good money to watch a video of that entire scenario.

I noticed that when they showed a picture of Kim's kids, it was a picture where Whitney was also not included. I'm leaning towards suspecting Whitney refused to participate in the interview. Perhaps she really did apply the consequences when she discovered her mother had relapsed yet again. Or had a flask in her purse and drank an inch or so of vodka to quell her nerves.

SPARKLE, KIMMIE, SPARKLE!!!! VOTD is one of my all-time favorite flicks.

Lucky for Carole she's humping LuAnn's private chef and not Sonja's private chef. I remember how livid Sonja was when Cindy dared to do a few dance steps with one of her interns. Having Carole actually engaging in intercourse with one of her staff probably would have given Sonja a massive stroke. Speaking of Sonja and "stroke," I think she might want to reevaluate her relationship with Dominick or whatever his name is. I'm not positive, but I think she might not be his type, so to speak.

Hey, I love my little dog to the sky and back, but this sounds like some pathological attachment she has to this dog. Although it validates my assertion way back that this dog was not at a trainer's as she tried to claim during the reunion. If he'd been gone at a trainer's, she wouldn't be missing him to this degree after only a 2-day separation. I think, true to form, poor little Kimmie is already grasping around for (what she considers to be) a valid excuse to leave rehab. And I don't see any way in bloody hell that rehab place can let that dog visit with his track record of biting...I can't even imagine the liability, unless he was brought contained and muzzled into the parking lot and Kim was allowed to go have a brief visit with the dog in that manner. Even at that, the parking lot would be the facility's property and might still open them up liability. This woman is definitely off her nut.

I agree. Kim made her choice quite clear in yesterday's episode. Whatever underlying psychological issues she may have, she is clearly content with her life the way it is...a hot mess of a fiery train wreck but, what the fuck, she's an adult and if she enjoys living that way, no one can prevent her from so doing (well, except for pesky lawsuits like when the dog you harbor turns vicious due to your lack of properly training the animal and people start suing you, but I digress). If Kim's kids and Kyle and her kids can no longer take the stress of trying to deal with this clusterfuck known as Kim, they all need to just walk away and let her live her life her way. They all need to free themselves from being her emotional hostages and leave her to manage on her own. Normally I would say when she hits her rock bottom she'll wake up and want treatment, but she's so fucking narcissistic that I'm not sure Kim will ever hit her rock bottom. In spite of what she herself thinks, there's not a single thing "special" about Kim Richards that makes her superior to any other addict on the planet. Countless families have had to throw in the proverbial towel once they realize the beloved addict in their life has no desire to stop using and just disengage (I speak from experience with a sibling here). It sounds as if Kyle is starting to take serious steps to disengage from Kim and, sadly, after yesterday's display, I think her children need to do the same if they want this toxic merry-go-round with their mother to stop. In retrospect, I do think Brandi was telling the truth when she told Rinna "you have no idea" about what was going on with Kim, and I do think Kim was likely drinking in front of Brandi. I think that's why suddenly Brandi started discussing what a burden being Kim's "best friend" was. I think what started out as a strategical move for Brandi in befriending Kim quickly turned into a nightmare. I'd like to feel some empathy for Brandi in this area, but, since I don't believe there was anything organic about her relationship with Kim, I just can't. She stepped into a hornet's nest and got stung. Repeatedly. And I don't mean just her swollen head and face. It will be very interesting to see how this latest rehab stint plays out. Since Kim apparently picked the facility, I'm assuming it's one that's very celeb friendly, full of yoga and Pilates and massages and spa treatments and clean meals...the kind of place that might work for someone who's been partying too hard recently and needs to "recharge" (as Kim puts it), but definitely not suitable for a longstanding addict with a decades-long history of substance abuse and, if Dr. Phil was correct, co-existing psychological conditions as well. Although I have not a fuck to give about Kim's long-term outcome (hey, if she doesn't care herself, why should I?), I do wish her kids well. I had a very difficult childhood myself with a mother from hell, but I strongly suspect the terrors of my childhood would pale in comparison to what Kim's kids have been subjected to over the years living with Kim and her abysmal choices in life. Hopefully Bravo has now realized Kim's story is too dark to be on any reality TV show (hell, at least Danny Bonaduce offered up ample humor in his reality show that centered on his course to self-destruction) and doesn't offer her a new contract, regardless of whether she stays in rehab or not. And she's proven herself to be such a delusional liar it would be nigh impossible to give credence to any storyline she might want to present. I hope that Dr. Phil's interview was her final appearance on my television for a very long time...maybe even forever.

She would have told Guiliana Rancic to go eat an entire loaf of bread.

And also she was lying right out of the fucking gate, claiming she was ready at 10 am (the first one to be ready, no less) when he knew damned good and well why she had been late...She was having her Norma Desmond moment and hell, who knows, maybe showing the makeup and hair people her super-clever lipstick vibrator. The least the bitch could have done was come out apologizing profusely for having lost track of time or something. This isn't your close-up, Ms. Swanson, and Dr. Phil is not Mr. DeMile, so sit your entitled ass down. I noticed he also didn't appear to hang around long once she marched off, either. I think he figured out pretty damned fast that the denial and delusion in this bitch run too deep for her to be receptive to any form of treatment he might have to offer her. Fuck her. Even if she gets clean and sober, she's obviously still going to be a raging uber bitch when the cameras are off. She proved that in the audio the viewers heard today when she thought no one could hear her.
