Reports surfaced today that RHONJ star Teresa Giudice and Heather Dubrow is jealous of RHOBH star Lisa Vanderpump for joining Dancing with the Stars because they wanted to be the housewives to be on the show!
You betcha! It was announced yesterday RHOBH star Lisa Vanderpump was joining the cast of Dancing with the Stars making her the first ever housewife to get on the show after it was said producers aren’t interested in the housewives ever appearing on DWTS. It looks like other housewives who have campaigned to be on the show are upset and wondering why Lisa!
You might think because you watch Renee Graziano on Mob Wives that you know all there is to know about her but that’s not true! In fact, VH1 posted 9 things you didn’t know about Renee below!
Kim Richards is a recovering alcoholic on this season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and on this week’s episode she decided to reach out to Taylor Armstrong, who many people, including Kim, see heading down a path of self destruction. Kim and Kyle held an intervention to address their concerns with Taylor’s drinking and Kim is opening up in her Bravo blog about what drove her to have this talk, and where she was coming from. Kim writes:
Let’s talk about how Kyle and I ended up at Taylor’s! When Taylor called my home the night of my party, which from what I understand Taylor said she didn’t feel it was important to show up to a nose party. Which I agree. A nose party? What she didn’t know is, this wasn’t just a nose party. This is the first place I’ve had to call home in so long I can’t even remember. I have been working on putting my home together, all along keeping in mind the day when I would have my special friends together. I’ve been working on decorating my house and putting my garden together. I wanted to include all my friends — from childhood on up — and I have been working on this since the day I moved in. It was a perfect summer night to get all my friends together and this was a chance to celebrate the life changes I’ve made, and for them to see my home, and an opportunity for them to see how I live, AND for them to see my new nose. It was a little bit of everything, but it was very important to me. And that’s what Taylor didn’t know.
I was surprised by the sound of her voice on the phone, and that she was with a man we really didn’t know! When she didn’t know Kennedy’s whereabouts, we all were very concerned. It wasn’t that we were concerned about Kennedy’s safety, Kennedy was here with us. I was more concerned with Taylor’s state of mind.
Believe me, I know I am no Dr. Drew. Many would say it’s the pot calling the kettle black, and I totally understand that. My intent was not to be judgmental or hypocritical, but to reach out as a friend, as others have done for me in the past. Taylor and I have discussed this before. I felt scared, as I don’t want her to end up where I did! I’ve been really, really scared for Taylor. And we’ve discussed that between Taylor and I. Being an alcoholic in recovery I recognize some of Taylor’s behavior as a red flag! As a friend I would like to help! We called Taylor and headed over to see her. I was so nervous and I told my sister on the way there that I didn’t know exactly what to say, but I know I have to say something! When I sat down with Taylor, I wanted to cry because my heart went out to her. I understand where she’s at and what she’s going through. I opened up and told her how it affected me and my children and family. I was so relieved when she reacted the way she did and she was responsive! I was very glad we did it and I was just so relieved! You walk out the door to today I took the biggest sighhhh! I said to my sister on the way home, “Did I do that the right way???” I hope Taylor’s OK with me because I care for her and Kennedy so much!
Also in this episode, the ladies headed out for their cast trip to Paris! Kim was seen acting a bit weird and brought Lisa and Kyle back to Kim’s season two days when she was under the influence of something, before she admitted herself into treatment. Kim is explaining her “off” behavior in Paris and says that it was just the stress of traveling and lack of sleep! She also reveals she had been taking the wrong medication. Kim says:
The flight to Paris was long (15 hours!) but they gave us pajamas, and we played some games to pass the time. I tried to sleep as much as I could, but didn’t have much luck.
Everybody decided to meet down in Brandi’s room for fireworks. I came out on the deck at Brandi’s room that night, I was exhausted. I just didn’t feel like myself. When Kyle called my room I told her I would be right up. I didn’t feel so good. My stomach was hurting and I felt nauseous. I didn’t know why. I barely slept the night before we left L.A. It had a been a long day of travelling. Still something felt wrong. I just wasn’ myself and I had trouble focusing and staying alert. I was on 24 hours of no sleep.
What you didn’t see is the morning after our first day, I called a doctor to come check on me. It turns out I had brought the wrong medication with me on the trip!! I had been taking it since I left L.A. Throughout the entire stay in Paris, I just didn’t look or feel right. I wasn’t my spunky self and my personality just wasn’t me. It wasn’t until I returned home that I was aware of this.
When I got back home after our trip, I slept for two whole days. Looking back on the trip, I felt lethargic and I really hadn’t been myself. Every day I take more steps in my recovery, and I’m in such a better place. Looking back on this really frightened me, and watching this makes me realize how much I value my sobriety today. It makes me much more cautious, and it’s not something to take lightly.
I really put a lot of thought into this blog. I take my recovery very seriously, and I just want to be very clear about this. This is my life and I love it. I am sober and it’s unfortunate the way it looked, but I am proud of who I am today. And I am very grateful to all whom I have inspired, as you have been an inspiration to me.
Kim was very kind-hearted in reaching out to Taylor and trying to prevent her from falling into alcoholism. The behavior in Paris was a bit strange and reminiscent of season two Kim, but I am holding out hope that it was either: a) a producer contrived storyline of “OMG! Kim has relapsed!” or b) editing showing only Kim’s quirkiness on the balcony. Or maybe she really was stoned/doped up! What do you think?!
I don’t know about you but I was shocked to learn on this week’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that Ken, Lisa’s husband, had a 45 year old son and a 21 year old grandson! The couple visited Ken’s son, Warren, and his wife, Sue, in St. Tropez on this week’s episode and now Lisa is dishing out some of the details about the family extension on Ken’s side. Lisa writes in her Bravo blog:
One of the many reasons that I fell in love with Ken was the kindness he exuded. We met when Warren was 15 and I was 21. As he explained he was married briefly for two years at 19, to a young wife who wasn’t prepared for the challenging job of being a mother. So he then fought for custody of their only child. He worked many jobs laboring, night jobs, anything to provide for his son, and, with the help of his mother, he raised an educated, well-mannered young man.
Life was hard at the beginning. But with sheer tenacity and some sort of innovative business sense, he created a life for his family (including his parents) that otherwise they wouldn’t have had.
Warren is very much his fathers son — ambitious, incredibly family oriented, and someone to be proud of.
People have often asked me why I would sign up for a reality show as if it was some sort of sentence, but when I view episodes forever documented like this I rest assured that we made the right choice.
I explained how when Warren first met Sue, the 16 year age difference, the secrecy that had transpired, was not something we supported. But I learned a very valuable lesson, when our children make a choice, remember our opinions and influence are pretty much redundant. The intimacy between a couple supersedes the parental relationship and take heed — it is not a battle that is worth fighting. It took a while, a few years, that with hindsight was a complete waste of emotion. And now 26 years and a lovely grandson for Ken later, we would have to admit we were wrong.
I have to be frank, my family in England have not supported my choice to venture into this world. But there you have it. It has afforded me a plethora of opportunities and a smorgasbord of amazing challenges, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I interact with you the viewer on Twitter and read your blogs, and I will say for the most part you are all incredibly kind, honest, and supportive.
Were you suprised by Ken’s past life?
Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein was very close to Joanna Krupa during season two filming, but have they remained friends? On the season two reunion, Joanna felt that Lisa should have defended her a little more against Adriana, but it seems that while Joanna is away from Miami, Lisa has developed a closer friendship with Adriana!
Lisa went on Huffington Post Live earlier this week where AllAboutTRH was featured, and dished to us about the season two reunion tiff saying, “I felt like they [Adriana and Joanna] were both wrong. There was no right to me in that situation. If I felt strongly about either or, I would’ve stood up for them, but both of them happen to be my friend.”
Lisa adds that Adriana and Fredric have become friends of the couple and often go out on double dates! They even spent Valentine’s Day together this year. Lisa continues, “Adriana and I get along great. She really makes an effort to be my friend. She calls me. Lenny gets along great with Fredric, her fiance, extremely well and it’s great to do things as couples.”
“Joanna on the other hand is very busy, she’s traveling all the time. I was a little hurt because I didn’t feel like we were close after filming had wrapped and that did hurt me. I did feel that we were much closer during the whole three to four months of filming. That’s why I didn’t feel it necessary to defend her,” reveals Lisa.
One lady who did need Lisa’s back up was Lea Black, who faced Ana’s wrath on the reunion! Lisa dishes, “On the other hand, Lea, for example, was kind of blind sided by the whole thing on the reunion so I did feel maybe I should’ve defended Lea. I wish I did because I really don’t think it was fair to Lea what Ana had done to her.”
I think it’s safe to say that next season, Lisa might be involved in some conflict with her new alliances.
Are you surprised Joanna has not remained a good friend to Lisa? Will Joanna turn on Lisa for befriending her nemesis? Check out the rest of the segment where Lisa reveals if she will ever record a single, updates on her fertility fight, and much more RHOM gossip!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills begins with an intervention from the Richards sisters! On last weeks episode we saw that Taylor was drinking and Kim obviously knows what it’s like since she had a similar issue. She heads over to Kyle’s house and tells Kyle that she thinks the two should talk to Taylor so that Taylor won’t continue to go on the same path Kim did. Kyle is nervous because Taylor is her friend and she doesn’t want Taylor to be hurt by this.
