zoeysmom February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 I just can't believe that Brandi has a brand that would sell alcohol. What is the target market? I just can't picture it. But what do I know, Ramona isn't the picture of sobriety and she has Ramona Pinot Grigio. Is that self-produced? Wine can be purchased in bulk foreign and domestically, bottled foreign or domestically and have a label slapped on it. The key is not only a good price on the wine but optimal distribution. So a two buck Chuck quality Chardonnay may work fine for Brandi but she is having to either just take a flat fee for use of her image and hoping she hired the right distributor (which is sounds like she did). Lightening may strike twice for the David Kanbar but he failed to capture Brandi at the height of her short lived popularity. Unless Brandi plans on hitting every BevMo with in driving distance to promo her product-and even those promos come at a cost. What unique quality can Brandi bring to the oversaturated Chardonnay market? Obviously drinking hasn't made Brandi any smarter, sexier or well loved. In retrospect Brandi has dabbled and succeeded in several arenas and none of them are child friendly. They can't read her books, or wear her line of FU and STFU hats, T-shirts or sweats, they can't drink her wine and have no use for a phone App that you activate once you start on your second glass of wine.

SwordQueen February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 Brandi promoting wine is like a lung cancer patient hawking cigarettes. It's not the image you want to project. Exactly, and from what I have noticed with alcohol advertisements -- save for beer, I guess -- they want their liquor to be seen as glamorous and top shelf, even if it's not. So an image of a women, staggering down the street, dropping F-bombs and flashing her tampon, while her 'posse' tries to hold her steady, probably isn't the image any brand would want to be associated with. She really, if she wants to poke fun at herself, while cashing in on her "fame", should team up with some tampon company. She may be falling down drunk and puking everywhere, but that tampon is firmly in place, doing its job! lol 2 Link to comment
Avaleigh February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 Regarding the cookbook-- I do sort of remember Brandi cooking her Mexican food during the Palm Springs trip last season and it was probably the only time during the trip where she was tolerable. I don't think this necessarily means that Brandi will be successful with a cookbook but then I'm still shocked at Teresa's success so what do I know when it comes to what makes a person choose a particular cookbook? Honestly, I would actually love to see, heaven help me, a version of Chopped or even Top Chef with Housewives who have cookbooks or have claimed to be great cooks. It probably wouldn't be fair to include Bethenny since she's professionally trained but maybe a lineup of Teresa, Caroline, LisaV, Brandi, Cynthia, and Sonja? I would watch the hell out of something like this. Imagining Sonja trying to conform to any sort of timeline is already kind of funny. Alternatively, I'd like the wives who want to slap their name on a bottle of wine to participate in a wine challenge. Ramona, Brandi, Tamra, Vicki, LisaV, Bethenny, etc. People wanting to have their own line of wine sort of reminds me of the trend of people who suddenly decide that they want to have their own fragrance. It can be surprisingly lucrative and they don't really have to know anything about making a good product because it seems like it's more about the name and the overall marketing/presentation. 1 Link to comment
AlottaShade February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 The most annoying thing about this awful tweety bird is the fact only NOW are people seriously starting to bring up the fact she drinks too much. It came up at different points last season but now basically all of the cast hates her its the big issue. She's always been a drunk. She was awful to Kyle in Palm Springs last season, awful to Adrienne and Paul in Season 3, awful to Joyce at basically any point in the season and awful to Lisa in Peurto Rico. 5 Link to comment
zoeysmom February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 Brandi promoting wine is like a lung cancer patient hawking cigarettes. It's not the image you want to project. After Beam bought Skinny Girl there first campaign was all about drinking like a lady. As opposed to the creator who was peeing in ice buckets the day of her wedding. Image is everything in wine and liquor. Be it tough brawny men who drink beer and bourbon or women who drink lo-cal white wines. Brandi should take a page from Vanderpump's book on pitching liquor. 2 Link to comment
PhilMarlowe2 February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 We do not see how Brandi acts/behaves on CA except in the boardroom and in the challenges. There is no footage of her behavior back in her room or off hours so to speak. It was rumored that DT had to have a talk with her early on due to her drinking and crazy behavior. It is possible that some of her HW behavior did happen on camera but was edited out because that would look very unprofessional for that type of show. DT is a very proud guy and really believes his show should not be seen as a joke, even if it is in reality a joke, to him it is not. He also likes tall leggy blondes with a sob story IMO. "Celebrity Apprentice" has never shied away from showing outrageous, unprofessional behavior. They made an entire storyline out of Dennis Rodman being an alcoholic. Donald even fired a Kardashian for having received a DUI (which made no sense, because it had nothing to do with the task or the show). I find it really difficult to believe that Donald Trump and Mark Burnett would make some rare exception for Brandi Glanville. If there is drama, they're going to show it. 1 Link to comment
phoenix780 February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 I think Trump/Burnett would edit Brandi in a less dramatic light, not because of anything about her but because it wasn't necessary for their particular narrative. They had Kenya Moore in a kind of riff on their classic villain Omarosa. It's a much cleaner story if Brandi's drunken truth cannon antics aren't a part of the tale (until this most recent episode, it seems, when they add value). On another note, I might buy a cookbook from her. I'd imagine the recipes will be easy, which I appreciate, and if it ties to her brand it'll be drunk/hangover food, which I also appreciate. 1 Link to comment

They are not intimidated by her in the least (Lisa R said last night she even expects Brandi to target her and laughed about it.) The others have always pandered to Brandi because they didn't want her mouth, and her lies turned on them. The addition of Lisa R and Eileen make it more and more obvious that Drunk Brandi (and Kim) have no business on this show. They are the ones that bring nothing. 10 Link to comment

zoeysmom February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 Brandi declaring that addiction is not negative or an insult: http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/season-5/blogs/brandi-glanville/brandi-addiction-is-not-a So why did she call Kyle drunk, say people were saying Bella was an alcoholic and Kim would kill herself if she relapsed-which is a very real part of the disease. On one hand she says she is not an expert on the other she is. In the real world people pay for their addictions. They pay for their DUIs, and drugs, and they struggle to find work in the entertainment industry. They are required to do drug testing, they have to apologize for bad behavior. So all this nonsense that there is something wrong with someone who considers addiction is nothing more than a disease is a little like Teresa Giudice saying everyone commits fraud. Brandi could have made her point 100 other ways without bringing up Bella. Calling Kyle a bad friend is laughable, you don't keep threatening someone and not expect them to pass on their experience. Brandi needs to wake up and realize the reason these women are not normally someone she would socialize with is not because they are judgmental and intimidating it is because she is not likeable. Brandi doesn't realize-we see far more of her working at her Podcast than we do any other RH working at their other jobs. As far as her kids, get off the damn show if you think the viewers can't see you without seeing you mother her, I believe she called them, asshole kids. Brandi only has her kids about 40% of the time. She chooses to go on the Steve Harvey Show for airfare and scale, she choses to do Celebrity Apprentice for accommodations and scale pay. What I have seen of the Celebrity Apprentice and Brandi did not dissuade me from her lack of basic ability to do anything but be a provocateur and basically all around bad friend. I guess this Monday is our last chance to see her outside her RH role for awhile. I am not giving up the ending to Celebrity Apprentice-it is the season finale. 5 Link to comment

Persnickety1 February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 From Kyle's thread: For Brandi, JR is a good get because he's a good looking Latino. The Brandi-JR relationship is a strange one: on his end, he went to a party at his boss' house, met some chick and then commandeered his boss' daughter's bathroom to "spend time" with his new acquaintance - that has nothing to do with the strangeness of the relationship with Brandi, but off the bat I thought there was something not right about this guy. He has gotten in swipes at Brandi like not including her in a couples' getaway with his friends, and according to Brandi (I know, needs to be taken with a boulder of salt), he told her he loved her and then proceeded to get in a relationship with another woman and re-locate her to LA. On Brandi's end, she blasted him in interviews and Twitter, and since he is not on Twitter, she actually tagged Mauricio's company; from what I gather, she wrote about him in her book and made him look like a patsy; he was living with another woman but still hooking up with Brandi which is known because Brandi tweeted about it; and it's highly likely that he was the guy who she made public that he broke up with her via email and her version is that he did not like that she put her kids first. Brandi has done a lot of cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs and downright disrespectful things towards this guy, has done it publicly and involved his job, and yet he can't seem to quit her. I dunno, Brandi may have done something that I didn't think possible, and that is find a man that in her book is ideal - age appropriate, good-looking, Latino who will put up with her. But then again while Jonathan Ruiz is superficially attractive, underneath he is no prize at all. It looks like a clustercluck of a relationship, but apparently that's not a showstopper for either of them. Okay, bear with me because I'm awaiting the arrival of my lunch so my blood sugar is low. Brandi has a vendetta against Kyle. Brandi "dates" JR. JR's boss is Kyle's husband. I wonder if there's any chance Mauricio and Kyle have JR occasionally cozying up to Brandi to find out what Brandi may or may not know, what secrets a fucked up Kim may have leaked to Brandi that a fucked up Brandi may then share with JR? Forewarned is forearmed and all.... Okay, my obscenely unhealthy lunch is here but I thought I'd throw that out there as a possibility.

I'm sure they loved that JR was featured on Housewives & social media with Brandi. It seems like Mauricio can't get his own show and now Brandi is publicly attacking his wife so it will be interesting to see if JR stays with Brandi. He's shunned and dumped her many times. I can easily imagine her going for all three of their heads in an extremely hateful manner when they break up again. There was a synopsis on Reality Tea from a podcast where Brandi said that JR is spoiled because he's Latin and an only child.

Jesus, I hope someone is keeping those kids feel safe and grounded. I had disliked LeeAnn since she released a single of the same song Trisha Yearwood had just realeased. Country radio played Trisha (Lee Ann has a good voice, Trisha's is at Whitney or Barbara categoy, IMHO). I was also (hanging head in shame) a big fan of Brandi's at first. She came in as the scorned woman, even then it was clear she didn't fit in with this group, but it seemed so much more sympathetic and then, of course she was picked on by the evil Richards sisters. All that, just to say that I really wanted to like Brandi better than LeeAnn. When Eddie and LeeAnns show was on last summer I endured as much of it as I could (deadly boring). What I got from it is that LeeAnn, whatever else she is, is not a drunk. They did show her going out with friends and getting tipsy one night, but that certainly doesn't indicate a problem, IMO. I also came away thinking she loves Eddie a lot more than Eddie loves her, but that is only an impression. At any rate, I saw none of the vile, foul mouthed drunken vulgarity that is Brandi in LeeAnn. Or Eddie for that matter. It's not like I want to become besties with the Rimes-Cibrian's either, but if I were forced to choose, I would sure as hell be more inclined to invite them into my home for a Social Event than I would Brandi. I also have to think that it is probably a better place for those children to be as well. LeeAnn seems to be trying really hard with those boys too, which Brandi being the evil bitch that she is, hates rather than appreciates as a good mother should. I really think if Eddie wanted full custody, all he would have to do is show up in court with a few episodes of RHOBH and it would be a done deal. 6 Link to comment

Brandi is a pretty unfit mom from what I see, thanks to Andy and the editing monkeys. As long as Brandi isn't stinking drunk around the kids, gets them to and from school and their activities she is going to be allowed custody. For a very long time Brandi, Eddie and LeAnn were in family counseling so my guess is there were some agreements hammered out about custody. Eddie and LeAnn have the kids over half the time and do provide the stable residence, financial situation and stable relationship. Brandi is far more concerned showing them what she has bought (leased) with her latest royalty check and jumping around from house to house. When the oldest kid turns about 14 expect him to want to increase the time with Dad and step-mom if there is no little half brother or sister in the picture. I feel for the kids because there is just not a lot of stability in mom. Brandi did manage to create a lot of financial damage for her ex and his now wife. So when her balloon bursts and there are no more six figure checks and all she has is the promise of child support with an ex-husband who now makes in the low six figures she may rethink her strategy or marry for money. I guess it was a wild ride while it lasted. 5 Link to comment

She wears the weirdest stuff around the kids too, at one of their school games I remember a shot of her in daisy dukes that were half way up her ass, with boobs barely covered. At a school game. With 10 year olds all around her. There are many such instagrams and some seriously deranged tweets from Leann. Brandi may have issues, but Leann is nuts. Could you produce these seriously deranged tweets from LeAnn? Because from what I have seen they fall more into the taunting or you should not have said it category. IIRC she once tweeted "on the way to Oregon with my boys." Brandi went nuts. A cursory reviews of Brandi's tweets would reveal an inordinate number of f bombs and fights with her tweeties. Yep I do think LeAnn might want to cover a bit more at the kids' games but with nothing to compare it to, as in the other moms it is kind of hard to weigh in. I don't see anything in LeAnn's public behavior that would keep Eddie from having his children full time if Brandi were deemed unsuitable. The court just pretty much reviews the best interest of the child and there has to be a compelling change of circumstance for custody to change. I think Brandi's kids instinctively know that Brandi could not handle going to a visitation only status. They are not weigh who is the better mother figure. http://www.celebitchy.com/355695/leann_rimes_wears_miniskirt_deep-v_to_a_kids_game_tacky_inappropriate/http://www.celebitchy.com/355695/leann_rimes_wears_miniskirt_deep-v_to_a_kids_game_tacky_inappropriate/ 6 Link to comment

For some reason, we have been giving her he benefit of the doubt – despite the fact that Eddie Cibrian left his wife Brandi Glanville and children for her. Naively we blamed Eddie – LeAnn seemed young and sweet and totally in love. LeAnn’s penchant for parading around in bikinis was puzzling – she seemed desperate for attention and validation. This week she had a very character revealing moment when she tweeted a photo of the special cake she had made for Eddie’s 39th birthday. The theme of the cake was “Eddie’s Favorite Things” and it featured a likeness of Eddie and LeAnn in a bed on top with his two young sons lurking on the side of the cake. Oblivious to her lack of taste and common sense, LeAnn proudly shared her creation with the world, and instantly she became a whole lot less likeable… http://www.celebitchy.com/246143/leann_rimes_feeds_the_twitter_trolls_sounds_just_as_crazy_as_them/ http://www.allabouttrh.com/leannvsbrandi/ great photos in this one about the insane way Leann started copying Brandi...very creepy. Leann has also been to rehab, and says margaritas and exercise are the keys to staying skinny. The worst was when she called up a twitter Brandi hater, and then arranged to meet the woman, and DID, dragging Brandi's two boys with her, to meet a woman who was vulgar and detested their mother! I wish I could find that link, but I've wasted enough time. Anyone else remember that story? The idea that Leann is somehow a better mother is laughable to me. Home-wrecker with major issues and a lot of money. Edited February 13, 2015 by Umbelina 1 Link to comment

I don't think she is a "better" parent/step parent to the boys than Brandi but in all honesty, that is not saying much IMO. I think for what ever reason, Eddie loves crazy women. I feel bad for those boys, there is no real adult in their lives. 3 Link to comment
PhilMarlowe2 February 13, 2015 Share February 13, 2015 I think Brandi is being very coy here. She probably knows the writing might be on the wall for her. Andy recently half-jokingly mentioned his enthusiasm for the idea of Brandi and Leann hypothetically both being on the show together. I think Brandi is doing the ole Tamra Barney "I'm thinking about quitting but really I am just saving face in case I get fired" while planting the Leann seed because on some level she knows it might be her ticket back for another season. 7 Link to comment

Home-wrecker with major issues and a lot of money. I don't think LeAnn ever took the boys anywhere. I think LeAnn threatened or did sue someone and the suit was either dismissed or withdrawn.' Copying means nothing to me or the courts. Perhaps the designers sent each lady an item hoping it would be worn and someone would notice. The cake was weird. Home wrecking is not a reason to deny custody. LeAnn went to rehab, not for drugs or alcohol, she went for stress, anxiety and depression-that could be held against her. This conversation started with Brandi's behavior being a reason for a change in custody, then it was LeAnn and Eddie didn't want the kids and then it was who was the better mom. After reading his I am thinking these kids are better off going back and forth between the parents-hey if we as posters can't decide what is in the bst interests of the children who are the courts to think they know better? JK-I hope goes without saying. 1 Link to comment
quinn February 13, 2015 Share February 13, 2015 (edited) Three guesses as to who the "insider" was. I too see deranged tweets often referenced but have yet to see actual tweets that live up to the hype. What I am seeing are bloggers who are pro-Brandi/anti-LeAnn Rimes grossly exaggerating some of LeAnn's behavior either to get clicks or there is something about the Brandi/Eddie/LeAnn dynamic that resonates with them. Like the tweets, the substance of the incident does not live up to the hype of the headline or blogger commentary. I don't find it odd that LeAnn uses the same doctors as Brandi - like Brandi, LeAnn relocated to be near Eddie and these are likely doctors used by Eddie's family and friends. I do think it's odd that LeAnn Rimes tweeted a picture of herself in the same pose as Brandi, but it's not "certifiably insane" in my book. Furthermore I have seen Twitter blow up over LeAnn copying other celebrities like Taylor Swift so my conclusion is that LeAnn is a copycat. Is it a strange and some kind of boundary breach that LeAnn has copied her husband's ex-wife, yeah and Brandi breached boundaries when she said that she wanted to kill LeAnn, so there. These days we tend to take Brandi's homicidal threats in stride, but I am willing to bet that back in the late 00s LeAnn and her loved ones probably thought that they were possible dealing with a Betty Broderick type, personally I don't think that Eddie Cibrian was worth it.For the record I don't think that LeAnn is a nice or balanced person and if I was in Brandi's shoes I would not be sanguine that the woman that my husband cheated on me with and then left me for is now the stepmother of my children, however I would label LeAnn's actions as insensitive and tacky, but I have not seen any behavior of LeAnn's relating to her stepsons that sets off alarm bells. I guess if I had to bottom line it, yeah LeAnn is crazy, not surprising since Eddie married and had two children with the horrible psycho that is Brandi Glanville.

Umbelina February 13, 2015 Share February 13, 2015 (edited) That last link is all screen caps and photos, and I think the photo with the fan at the ski lodge is the hate-tweeter Leann introduced to Brandi's sons. I saw the photo and the story long ago, and the tweets from that woman. Why on earth would you drag the kids to something like that. The idea that Leann is somehow better for the boys, or that anything Brandi has done is a reason to take her part custody away is bizarre to me. The kid WAS being an asshole, and it was a joke. Perhaps the joke wasn't someone's humor, but that happens. When Lisa Rinna didn't want her girls to turn into Hollywood assholes (implying other Hollywood kids are) everyone (including me) loved it. I mean, who DOES this? http://libertylondongurl.blogspot.com/2011/12/leann-rimes-has-been-stalking-imitating.html more screen caps in that one. Edited February 13, 2015 by Umbelina 1 Link to comment
