Lisa Vanderpump: Pink is her Favorite Color

[Mya Stone]

Holy crap y'all. We've hidden a good deal of posts that have no chill. 

 

Listen, in the misappropriated paraphrased words of Marie Antoinette, "Let her buy Pandy a house. And eat cake. And buy Mya a house." 

 

Drop it. Move on. Y'all are acting like this show is even on the air right now, or Kim just got arrested for the 217 time.

and all is good now.

So the other dog is dead?

[Juliegirlj]

Anyone else find it strange that LVP and Ken put a down payment on a house and fully furnished and decorated it as a surprise for Pandora's 30 th birthday but didn't purchase the home outright. Pandy and Jason now have a mortgage for a home they didn't even choose. It's generous and all, but they surely have the means to easily but the house. Why not just gift them the money for a down payment on a home of their choosing, or buy them the house?!

[zoeysmom]

Rumors running LVP won't return.  Sad if true.

[Giselle]

It would be sad but I really wouldn't blame LVP if she didn't return. I'd also be tired of multiple seasons of being bitch slapped. It's too bad they didn't drop Rinna the only time she was enjoyable this season was when she and LVP went pony shopping, other than that Rinna was a pill.

I guess Kyle will be Rinna's next victim now.

[kokapetl]

I think Lisa would be smart to quit. She has her own show, her restaurants have been extensively promoted, and she even got the dog eating thing some publicity. Why risk staying around? One these days the rest of the wives might be able to make the manipulative thing stick.

Agreed but they are all manipulative to different degrees.

I hope for her sake that she does, but for my sake that she doesn't.

My guess is this is just LVP's usual deal after she has a bad season and doesn't look so good. I haven't been on Twitter, but I would imagine there are at least a few tweets she is responding to where people beg her to stay, and if like last time she pulled this, threaten to never watch the show again. Powerful stuff. 

She does have another successful show on the network, but the ratings have been in decline over the last two seasons. I have no proof of this, but I think there is probably a large amount of folks who watch VPR because of Lisa and her role on the HW show. I wonder what would happen to the ratings on VPR if she didn't do the HW deal? Maybe they wouldn't suffer at all, but my guess is that they would. The thing that I admire the most about LVP is that she took her popularity with her fans and used it to promote things that she cares about. She would never get the press for her dog eating deal if she hadn't been on this show. The reality is, she wouldn't get the press for it if she left. I think the things she does on the side are much more meaningful to her than this show, but she knows that the show allows her to do these things. I would be stunned to see her leave, unless she is offered another show on Bravo. 

[thewhiteowl]

I think the "manipulative" label has stuck. We heard it over and over from the silly weak ones who refused to take any responsibility for their own actions and reactions. I imagine we will hear it again, if LVP returns. I hope she does, to me she is the most interesting one.  

[NewDigs]

Re: LVP

Buh bye. Don't let the door...

[Wings]

There was a rumor last year, too.  My guess, she is not going to quit.  Her restaurants benefit from her exposure on this show along with other things.  She is the major lead and Bravo will probably meet any demands she has to keep her on board.  

 

As for VPR, I only watched one season and stopped because it is stupid.

[JAYJAY1979]

So she's manipulative, but isnt that the major requirement for being on these shows?  The reason she took off during the 1st season was because she was an Alexis Carrington type for the 21st century?  If she were smart, she'd tap into that instead of the ganged up victim part because she's fascinating....and would love a Before they were housewives special on her.

Totally agree with all you wrote but especially this. The show can lose much of its original cast ( setting aside occasional cameos) and the more recent players but LVP is the ultimate BHHW. IMO.

[FanOfTheFans]

Yes, I agree with this too.  Love her or hate her, she will leave a huge hole in the show if she leaves.

She would be pretty hard to replace from the standpoint of what she brings, her home, business, charities, wealth, etc.

According to TMZ, she's coming back...

Looks like you were right motorcitymom65.  According to that TMZ article Lisa didn't want more money in salary she wanted more press for her causes and as you say more publicity for her shows and probably her restaurants.  They say fame is the currency of choice in LA and Lisa's not done with her 15 minutes yet especially if it keeps her restaurants full with the likes of Lady GaGa.

I really don't want to watch a show where Lisa's story line is one PSA after another.  I find the Yulin "festival" extremely disturbing, not fun to think about  and the scenes this past season where Lisa organized a demonstration that meandered around LA were boring imo.  I also wonder about her "work in the LGBT community" or "the work she does to stop AIDS".  It all sounds self serving and condescending at the same time not to mention a great way for her to make more money off the LGBT community the main client base of her restaurant Pump.

I'm glad that Lisa is coming back. I need Lisa and Kyle to stay for the foreseeable future. The rest can come or go but those two are anchors for the show in the way that Luann and Ramona are on NY at least for me. (And Vicki and Tamra for that matter.)

Heh. As if there were any doubt. Why anyone falls for her "I don't know if I'm coming back this season, it was just so toxic" poor-me bullshit year after year is anyone's guess.

She always returns, it's never a question, much as she might like to pretend it is. But, hey, it keeps working. So why should a broken record change its tune?

Exactly. I've been saying for months that it was only a matter of time before someone from her group leaked that she was considering not coming back. Same story. She comes out of a season not looking so good and she blames the "negativity" and claims she doens't know if she can continue. LVP's brand is tied to her "looking good". This season she will have a great year and look like an angel. She will be funny and smart, snark just enough, say all the right things, and any evidence of her being manipulative will be far from our TV screens.

Yeah, we'll see if the women ever have anything good on Lisa because I've always maintained that's the problem with these women going after LVP. They rarely have anything good. Kyle is the only one who has a leg to stand on regarding Lisa and if she can get over Lisa's disloyal behavior then I don't see why I should hold onto it. The other women's issues with LVP ranged from laughable to pathetic. 

We've never seen Lisa bring on a female friend before so this should be interesting to see in terms of what the dynamic is like. Will Dorit be up her ass the way Carole is up Bethenny's ass? (Just to be clear, I'm not equating LVP with Bethenny. ) Will she defend her the that way Erika defended Yolanda nonstop? Will she be a gossip and give us any tidbits on LVP? Will she give us an on camera glimpse of how LVP has talked to her about the other women in terms of what to expect? Will there be any jealousy issues with Kyle and Dorit over who's closer to Lisa in a kind of retread of when Kyle felt like she'd been "replaced" by Brandi? Will Rinna try to kiss Dorit's ass since she'll know that LVP will have warned her about how snakey LVP (rightly IMO) believes her to be or will she immediately go on the offensive? What about Eileen? Will she side eye Dorit or will she be welcoming and try to start the season open minded? 

As for the trip this year, since LVP seems to have had a few demands met this season I wonder if that means she'll have a say in where they end up going? I think it would be fun to see the BH women in the UK. I wonder if LVP could gain them entry into a stately home? I realize that very few genuine aristocrats are interested in being on TV but times are tough and if it's a great house that wants to bring in more tourists I could see some viscount maybe letting the ladies come to the house for dinner just to show off the estate a bit.

It would be fun too to compare the BH women being in England with the NY women. I would even forgive the show for giving us a Ladies of London cameo if they wanted. Ha, I wonder how LVP and Caroline would treat one another. 

Another thing that could be cool is taking the ladies a bit more out of their element and having them go to Asia or South America. Shanghai, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Phuket, Argentina, Brazil, etc. Something different. Australia could be fun too. 

As far as the small trip, I think San Francisco or a maybe a quick trip to Cabo could be cool.

Now that we know she is coming back, it's time we get her to save Kim's Kingsley.

Sort of but it is LVP and she and Pandy may have the same aesthetic.

If it were anybody else, except  OC Vicki G, I'd say the maybe parents were giving their kids the opportunity to own a house instead of rent and to build their credit by staying current with an installment loan. Pandy may not have istallment loan history but I don't think Pandy has to worry about a credit rating.

On SM she would have to take that position to have power in negotiations for salary and terms.  If she announced, YES!  I will be back.  There goes her leverage.  She got a friend on the cast and more money, I am sure.

Not even Kyle announces she is coming back until after she signs her contract, none of them do. Most say "I hope so" or something along that line when asked, where LisaV comes right out and says that she "Isn't sure". And, the HW that got the biggest pile on or is a fan favorite is usually asked more than the rest. LOL

I remember there was all of that viewer speculation that Max was Ken's child from an affair because some viewers were trying to figure out why Lisa seemed to be colder to Max than Pandora. Of course, this was before we saw how Yolanda treated Gigi and the non-Gigis and we realized just how much a parent could obviously favor one child over others.

My brother who doesn't watch this show, but will occasionally watch Vanderpump Rules swears up and down that Jax must have been banging and blackmailing LVP because there is no way that you would continue to employ his drunk coked up thieving ass otherwise. His dick causes drama with your waitstaff because he can't stop fucking his coworkers and he's a shit bartender. My brother's point was that you wouldn't keep a guy like that in employ unless you're getting something from him or he's threatening you.

I get my brother's point. I don't agree with it, but I get it. It's pretty clear now that LVP uses her restaurant staff like zoo attractions. Patrons don't pay attention to the mediocre food and tacky decor because they're trying to get a glimpse of Jax, Scheana, Katie, Sandoval, Ariana, or Schwartz.

It is interesting because I use to wonder the same thing (especially after Jax had the stolen goods from the restaurant in his home) then I realized they can quit or even be fired from the restaurant but LVP can't fire them from Vanderpump Rules. I am quite certain LVP was done with Stassi, as Stassi thinks nothing of going on Brandi's show and trashing LVP.  LVP doesn't have any effect on their Evolution Media/Bravo contract.  I guess when they got into the big money the only stipulation is they work a shift every three weeks at SUR.  Not sure about a Britney.  A couple of years ago in a meeting, LVP called Sandoval out for not taking enough shifts.  So I guess they are very expensive zoo animals but LVP doesn't have to pay for their upkeep.

Cedric and Lisa had their eyes done together, right?

[chick binewski]

I think this is the actual interview with Cedric (episode #19). I listened to it and while the interviewer is not great and Cedric may not be the most solid source I have to say I found a lot of it very believable. Cedric interjects throughout how fantastic & clever Lisa is and how he still loves her; he also repeatedly remarks how controlling she is. I kept thinking how maybe Lisa & Cedric are probably a lot alike but Lisa just knows how to win. I couldn't get through the All About the Tea article so I'll just note some stuff for anyone who cares (like me - because this is the LVP stuff that I find fascinating):

-Cedric was working for the Todds and became especially close to Lisa b/c Ken worked a lot which meant Lisa was alone and bored. She confided in Cedric but even if Lisa & Ken had conflict they would stick together no matter what and would "crush" other people when they felt the need. Bravo called and according to Cedric (side eye) they were super interested in LVP b/c she had a live-in gay.

-Cedric & Lisa had a falling out and it might be supposition on my part but it seemed to be rooted in something Ken did & Lisa regretting she confided in Cedric. Cedric moved in with Omar the waiter and here I got lost a bit. Bravo called after a year long wait & expected to start filming with LVP AND Cedric. Lisa asked Cedric to move back in for the show and (I TOTALLY BELIEVE THIS PART) she would wake Cedric early so she could rehearse "lines" she thought might work for the show. She also started Googling the other HWs to fish for dirt she could work into the show (Cedric said everyone did that but Lisa would read about Taylor having a drinking problem and then keep refilling her drink at the next dinner). I got lost at the Omar part b/c it sounded like they were dating but Lisa made them break up? Cedric said LVP was super controlling with the wait staff (duh) and they were beneath Cedric so he should not associate with them.

-He was dating Lance Bass & introduced Lance to Lisa. Jennifer Stallone (???) warned Cedric about Lance being a dog and having an 18 y/o on the side but Cedric didn't listen. Cedric said he and Lance hung out with Andy & some Bravo people before the show and they were all lovely to him. He sounded a bit hurt that Lisa took up a friendship w/Bass. He said Lisa pushed him to divulge his childhood and before the dinner w/Kyle aired Bravo required a conference call (Cedric was not allowed to talk?) with Bravo lawyers, Cedric's foster parents, the judge and a translator verifying all that Cedric had disclosed.

Cedric sounded a bit sad and a bit like he had a story to sell, but I found a lot of what he said to be believable. Granted I haven't been much of an LVP fan for a while but much of this made sense to me, especially about the marriage. A devoted couple is presented but they invited cameras into their lives for at least half the year, they have disparate relationships with their daughter & son (not to mention Ken's other son who may as well be Chuck from Happy Days) and don't mention of other family, and Lisa has an especially freakish relationship with the cast of VPR. Again, Cedric might just have something to sell but watching Lisa on WWHL last night I was like, yeah - this is exactly what he's talking about.

 All the people who date Lance Bass could get someone far more attractive than him.

I think LVP had a major makeover. On the VR reunion and her visit on WWHL she looked different. I am thinking Botox, lip injections, an eye lift, something with her neck and definitely a nose job-her nose is much perkier now. ( funny cuz she made a joke on the finale about having a short snout like one of the puppies) 

 Also her hair wasn't as ratty and it was parted differently. She still wears too much pancake makeup.

There are some close-ups on the RHOBH Bravo site and I don't think she had any work done.  Or if she sis she should ask for a refund.

I agree about the hair it doesn't look as damaged and it is parted more to the side.
