This week's episode of "New Girl" was underwhelming for me. I just didn't laugh out loud as much as I normally do with this show. However, it was still a decent episode.
After a fight with her DJ boyfriend, Jess's model friend Cece crashes at Jess's house with the boys. Schmidt and Winston go through some ridiculous attempts to win her favor, all of which are unsuccessful. Cece also makes Jess crazy by insinuating that Nick has feelings for her.
There were some funny moments, especially when Nick and Jess go to the store together and she sees every move he makes as proof that he's into her. Zooey Deschanel's performance really makes this show something more than just a fun show, she makes it a really good time.

Scandals!
This week's episode of Glee was pretty intense, on several levels.
Artie is thriving as director of the school musical, West Side Story, and all seems right with the world. Rachel and Blaine are in rehearsals, singing "Tonight", which is easily one of the best Broadway tunes ever. Artie decides their lack of sexual experience is hindering their performance. How can they sing about passion and lust if neither of them knows what that really feels like? I actually think their inexperience is valuable to their performance - all that tension right underneath the surface could be quite useful.
Finn is super excited about an upcoming visit from an Ohio State recruiter, which also happens to be the object of Coach Bieste's affection. Only she hasn't confessed her feelings for him. Oh, and turns out, Bieste is a virgin as well.
The Warblers turn in a rousing version of "Uptown Girl" while Blaine watches. He's there to invite the guys to West Side Story. There's a new Warbler in town, and he's dangerous. His name is Sebastian, and he is a shameless flirt. He's a home wrecker! And I am anti-home wrecker!
Santana and Rachel rehearse "A Boy Like That", and give us serious drama. These girls are talented, no doubt about it. Although, I can't not think about Rita Moreno's iconic performance in the movie. Rent "West Side Story" and prepare to be blown away.
Blaine meets Sebastian for coffee, and tells him that he has a boyfriend. Sebastian says that doesn't bother him. See? I told you! Home-wrecker! Thankfully, Kurt shows up and makes it more than obvious that Blaine is his and he's not going anywhere. Sebastian invites them to a gay bar. To Blaine's surprise, Kurt accepts the invitation. Kurt wants to start to take chances, and this seems like the perfect opportunity.
Finn and Rachel have a romantic dinner at Finn's house (all alone). They're celebrating 4 months of bliss, and Rachel initiates a makeout session. She wants to take it further, but lets it slip that she wants to "get this done by opening night", so that her performance can be as truthful as possible. Finn gets offended and leaves. Rachel totally screwed herself on this one, no pun intended.
Mike Chang's father confronts him about being in the school play after he explicitly told him to quit dancing. Mike stands up to his father and refuses to quit. Mr. Chang threatens to disown him, to which Mike says, "I don't have a dad anymore."
Artie learns that the Ohio State recruiter has feelings for Coach Bieste, and urges him to ask her out. He does, but Bieste can't quite believe the recruiter is sincere. She explains that she's not the pretty girl, and the recruiter tells her that she's beautiful. She finally accepts, and I'm really happy they're giving Bieste a love interest. Finally!
Rachel calls a girls meeting about her disastrous night with Finn and they all agree she should wait to have sex. Santana takes the opportunity to slam Finn's lovemaking skills, while Quinn reminds everyone of how having sex ruined her perfect life. Tina pipes up and shares how her first time was amazing, and says she doesn't regret it at all. Rachel now looks even more confused than usual.
Kurt and Blaine show up at the gay bar ("Scandals" - LOVE that name!) with fake IDs in hand. The scene is a little less than fabulous, but the guys give it a chance. Sebastian welcomes the boys and wastes no time getting Blaine on the dancefloor with him. To my personal surprise, Karovsky shows up and chats it up with Kurt! OMG! At least he's not being violent. Karovsky reveals that he's much happier now that he's going to a different high school, and he's apparently a bearcub. Kurt encourages him to be whatever he wants to be at his own speed. Good advice. Kurt then runs to the dancefloor and cuts in to dance with Blaine, who's intoxicated. As they're leaving, Blaine makes moves on Kurt, but Kurt refuses since it's neither the right time or place - and Blaine's drunk. Blaine doesn't take the rejection well and walks home, but not before throwing a dig at Kurt about trying to be spontaneous and fun.
It's opening night, and Rachel and Blaine are still virgins. They're both freaking out, but it's more about the musical than anything else. Artie is in a panic as well, after all these weeks of pretending he knows what he's doing, he's worried that everything is wrong. The cast gives him a bouquet of flowers and says thank you for putting the show together. We see the cast perform the showstopper "America", and they really did do a great job. I loved the fact that they had the Jets jump into the performance for a bit. All things considered, the show is a success.
Blaine apologizes to Kurt after the show and they have a really touching conversation. Who else is bummed we haven't seen Kurt's Officer Krupke?! I wanna see that!! The boys pass on the afterparty, and opt to go to Blaine's house instead. Finn is devastated because the recruiter passed on him, so he's spinning out of control with disappointment in himself. Rachel reassures him that he'll find a new dream, and that they'll figure it out together. The wedding scene plays while scenes of Blaine and Kurt and Rachel and Finn come and go, leading us to believe that each of these couples have taken their relationships to the next level.
Next week, Santana and Rachel go for eachother's jugular and there's a crazy dodgeball fight. Oh, and Puck and Shelby may or may not get it on.

Almost Done!
We're getting down to the final episodes of Dancing With The Stars, and I, for one, couldn't be happier. Is it sad that I just want this season to end already?
Hope and Maks danced to "Valerie" by Amy Winehouse, and I was so happy to hear that song on tv. People really should remember Amy's music - and I know they will forever. Hope danced a jive for her instant dance, and did a decent job. I still don't love her, though.
Rob is still the judges' sweetheart, and I have to admit that he is a pretty good dancer. He's definitely made progress. He'll make it to the finals for sure.
Ricki is showing signs of fatigue and her footwork isn't as sharp as it could be. She needs focus up if she wants to be in the top 3. I really hope she does!
JR is another judges' pet but he has the dancing chops to back it up, so I believe he will make it to the finals easily. I think he'll win the whole thing, actually.
Nancy is still dreadful, and finally got the boot this week. I was happy that she thanked her partner Tristan, since she gave him so much grief throughout the season.
Who do you think will win?

Botox and Boyfriends
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills were quite busy in this week's episode. These ladies just bounce from one awkward group activity to another, don't they?
First up, Paul Nassif's Night of Beauty. Why do I feel like there should be some kind of step and repeat in the lobby? Oh well. Kyle goes in and asks for help with her love handles. Um, what love handles? These ladies. Seriously, they have it all, and still find things to gripe about. Or maybe that's just a woman thing. Paul suggests some type of laser thingamajig that's supposed to get the fat out of your cells and then shrink the fat, which causes you to lose inches. Sign me up! Taylor gets her requisite fillers, and has a run in with Lisa in the process. Lisa tells Taylor that she needs to eat. Taylor takes offense to this, again, and explains that she does eat but she has a "genetically thin face". Yeah. And the rest of you looks like a living skeleton because you just happen to have thin genes. Whatever.
Lisa is not getting anything done because she can't risk having to stay home to recuperate since she has business to run and people to see. I love it! Camille cannot come and partake in the botox buffet because she's having trouble with her ex husband, Kelsey Grammer. He really shot himself in the foot putting this one on reality tv, am I right? Everyone pretty much hates him now, and she's actually likeable. I think HE'S the reason she was so koo-koo bananas last season. Lisa and Kyle lend an ear to Camille, for which I'm sure she's grateful. Lisa then gets an email from Taylor's husband (who is now deceased), Russell, explaining in some detail that their marriage is fine and the tabloid stories are untrue. Lisa is understandably confused by this. In her interview, Taylor explains that since Russel suspects Lisa of leaking stories about their marriage to the press, he sent her an update to see if that would make it into the tabloids as well. Makes absolutely no sense. Kyle says she's staying out of it, which is the smartest thing she's said all season so far.
Kim shows up late, as usual.There's definite tension between her and Kyle, especially when the subject of her upcoming move is mentioned. Kyle asks if Kim will be going to the seance Kyle is having, and Kim says no because it's against her religion. Can I just say that I don't agree with the whole seance thing - I think it's scary and just not a good idea. Kyle balks at Kim's excuse, and retorts that Kim's seen the same psychic for years, and never mentioned the religion thing before. I say, let it go. Some people just aren't into it, whether they've dabbled in that kind of stuff before or not. But, I have to tell you, Lisa's impression of Kim gave me EVERYTHING!!! Another reason why I love Lisa. Perfect, perfect, perfect. Lisa then confronts Taylor about Russell's email - AWKWARD! Taylor brushes it off, tells Lisa to talk to Russell about it, and leaves.
Kim goes into the exam room with Paul and he asks her the question we've all been dying to ask - what is she ON?! She says Trazodone (used to treat depression), Topomax (used to treat seizures), and Lexopro (used to treat depression and anxiety). Paul reveals that this particular cocktail is what's making Kim act so loopy. Kim says she's not drinking alcohol at all, and Paul tells her she needs to go back to the Doctor and figure out a new prescription medication combination. He is so right. I'm actually relieved she's not drinking, and that her behavior is really just a result of the medications. Not that that's any better than alcohol abuse, but at least a doctor can fix her prescriptions so she's not so Paula Abdul-esque anymore. Let's hope she takes his advice.
Meanwhile, Lisa and Adrienne are talking about the email from Russell with Kyle. The conversation gets a little bit snippy when Lisa asserts that Taylor and Camille aren't really friends. Kyle defends Taylor and says that Taylor and Camille talk all the time. I don't even know why this is a topic of discussion, but ok, ladies, you've all made your points.
Kyle goes in to check on Kim, but they end up being kind of mean and catty to one another over nothing (again), so Kyle leaves. Kim experiments with lip injections and instantly learns about karma when her lips start to resemble Taylor's (she insulted Taylor's lip injections last season).
Kyle then calls Brandi to invite her to the seance and they have a nice chat, surprisingly. Taylor then comes over, irate that Lisa is apparently telling everyone that Taylor has no friends. According to Taylor, Camille confirmed this. Taylor admits that Lisa intimidates her, and for some reason, Kyle responds that Lisa preys on the weak and doesn't take criticism well. Um, what, now? I'm sorry, but this is a bunch of crap. I'm sure what happened is, Lisa talked to Camille about the conversation at Paul's office and mentioned that she didn't think Camille and Taylor were close friends. Pretty innocent, in my opinion. But of course, Taylor has to turn everything into an attack on her and runs to Kyle for back up. Kyle is stuck in an odd position, since she is friends with both Taylor and Lisa - I just wasn't expecting Kyle to throw Lisa under the bus like that. I really don't think Lisa preys on anyone. I think she says what she means and means what she says. Which is more than you can say for Taylor, am I right?
I did not watch the seance scene because that kind of stuff is just not my cup of tea. Moving on ...
Kyle goes to see Kim and Kim finally confesses that she's had a boyfriend for the last year or so, and that her upcoming move actually entails that she and her boyfriend will be living together. Kyle immediately knows who it is, because Kim took him to an event recently. So, maybe it wasn't such a secret after all? Kyle is not happy about this and thinks Kim is doing this out of convenience and loneliness, not because it's really what she wants. Ok, I have to interject here. Kim is a grown woman who can make her own choices. Granted, her behavior is a little out there, but if she wasn't in her right mind, then the family should take over and care for her and make all of her decisions for her. However, she's not in that particular situation, so I say - date whomever you want. Kim seems lucid in her conversation with Kyle in this scene, and in fact, has appeared to be calm and clear headed multiple times this season. I really believe that with some adjustments in her prescription medication regimen, she'll be fine. I think Kyle should back off at this point, because the more she pushes her opinion down Kim's throat, the worse their relationship will become.
Next week, Kyle meets Kim's boyfriend and the ladies have an intervention for Taylor about her marriage.
On Watch What Happens Live, Lisa Vanderpump and Matthew Broderick visit the clubhouse. This episode was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed Lisa tremendously. I couldn't get through the phone lines to ask a question - I think Bravo is screening my calls - but I did tweet Andy to ask Lisa if she would adopt me. Lisa addressed Russell's accusations in this episode and denied them quite logically - why would she want to make herself and her friend that works at one of the magazines look stupid by leaking stories? She wouldn't. She's way too classy for that. Lisa also said that Kyle has changed and that she was hurt by Kyle's comments about her in this episode, but they are still friends. Andy showed off Lisa's book and I made sure to put it on my Amazon Wishlist! Dana sent in a video of her son speaking Thai, which was kind of cute, but made Dana look desperate for some kind of validation. Sorry, Dana, we don't care about you. But you're kid is adorable. In the poll question of the night, "Is Lisa a troublemaker?", 56% said No, while 44% voted Yes. Andy's Mazel was a Twitter friend who saw Taylor's face in her Slurpee and the Jackhole was Andy himself for saying "Lacalif" instead of "L.A., California". The Aftershow was cute, and Matthew Broderick was a little more entertaining than usual, so if you want to check it out, click here.

Always Sunny on SNL
Charlie Day was the host on SNL on Saturday and it was one of the best shows this season! Maroon 5 was the musical guest.
Highlights:
Kim's Fairytale Divorce: This one is an instant classic. Kristin Wiig nails Kris Jenner perfectly. In fact, all the players are so good in this. You have to see it. It's truly hilarious.
Kings of Catchphrase Comedy: See if you can spot the digs towards Dane Cook and Sarah Silverman.
Weekend Update: Bill Hader absolutely skewers Rick Perry, and Kristin Wiig outdoes herself on the latest Judy Grimes bit.
Crime Scene: I loved this because Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day are so much fun to watch together.
You can catch all of the awesome moments here.

I Am Very Rich
Well, kids, Real Housewives of Atlanta is back with a vengeance, and I, for one, couldn't be happier! I missed these ladies SO much. This show is the real fun one of the bunch, in my opinion.
Let's get started with Kim and Kroy at the storage unit. First of all, is she still rocking the same old wig? I think so. We get to see Kim's new mansion and it is super duper huge. I'm thinking that house is being paid for with Kroy's money since I still don't know what Kim does for a living. She's not working as a nurse, I can tell you that. They seem to be in love. But I really can't get over how old Kim looks. He looks his age (25), but she easily looks 15 years older than what she claims to be. I think what ages her is the makeup and all those years of smoking. Oh, and I couldn't stop laughing when Kim asked if Kroy had one of her songs as his ringtone. Um, why the hell would he do that?! Kim's delusion knows no bounds.
Nene goes car shopping with her oldest son, Bryson. Now, I'm a little disappointed that Bryson is still at home, especially after all of the ultimatums Nene gave him last season. Nene is looking cute, I have to say, and she knows it, apparently. She's trying to get a better price on the car using some flirtation. It cracks me up that Nene used to date the owner of the dealership, and she doesn't let him forget it. I got kind of sad that Nene's youngest son wasn't allowed to go along on the test drive. Bummer. Nene's comment that her discount quest was inspired by Donald Trump's negotiation advice was a little ridiculous, but I'll forgive it because she makes me laugh. Especially her emphasizing that she'll pay "cash money" for the car ... "Hi, Haters!" LOL! I love it! And Nene is loving her money right now. All those hosting gigs have been good to her, apparently. Not to mention Celebrity Apprentice.
Sheree visits Lawrence as he records his new song, which is FIRE! I love Lawrence, I want him to take me shopping for makeup. Just saying. And to top it off, he's friggin' talented. Anyway, back to Ms. Sheree. Right out the gate, she trashes Nene for allegedly trying to take money from a deal they were supposed to share. I'm not 100% convinced that Nene actually did this. I'm going to need more proof. Sheree said Celebrity Apprentice only wanted Nene because she's an irate, crazy bitch, and the show made her ego bigger. Um, isn't that kind of hypocritical? Isn't Sheree the one who had a stadium sized self portrait made for her independence party? Isn't Sheree the one who wouldn't admit her clothing line was a failure? Yeah - you have no room to talk, Sheree. Come on.
Cynthia meets up with Ms. Jay from America's Next Top Model to give him the skinny on her new modeling school. I think this is a great idea. Cynthia is so beautiful - inside and out, and I think she'd be an amazing mentor for young models. I also like the fact that her agency will accept models of almost all ages. That's so cool. They'll offer placement, scouting, and one on one training. Mr. Jay tells Cynthia to remember "quality over quantity". I think this modeling agency will be very successful, but maybe I'm biased because I am a Cynthia fan.
Phaedra's family is dealing with the death of her great aunt, and being an attorney, she's taking care of the paperwork and arrangements. Please tell me Phaedra got her on camera persona on point this season. I don't want to have to hate her for another season. She seems to be a lot calmer this season. Or maybe it's the whole funeral thing. That's always an eye opener. Phaedra's family members peruse the funeral options, including carriages, doves, musical numbers, and top hats. We get another pearl of wisdom from Phaedra, "Everybody knows I'm known for the most fabulous things in life." And death, apparently.
Back at the modeling agency, Ms. Jay tells the students to keep their runway walk simple and clean. The first model's walk is anything but. Jay's reactions are EVERYTHING! I want to see a lot more of him on the show. He and Cynthia are good together.
Sheree and Phaedra are at the Liberator store waiting for Kandi to show up. They browse the various items and discuss their collective lack of knowledge about what a lot of them are and what they're used for. I was a little uncomfortable watching this scene. I don't want to have to see my housewives in an adult superstore talking about adult activities. Yuck. Kandi finally arrives and she explains her new business venture, which I really hope isn't her only storyline this season. We need more than this to stay invested in Kandi. Although I cannot WAIT for Kandi Factory to start - her new show where she takes normal people and turns them into pop stars. That show is going to be amazing!
Over at Kim's house, she's laying in bed wailing for "SWEEETIEEE", and I immediately want to blow my brains out. If I never have to hear Kim yell that again, it'll be too soon. Kim says she's eating healthy during her pregnancy and I can't help but wonder if she's trying to imitate a certain more likable former Real Housewives of New York cast member who had a very public and very healthy pregnancy. Am I right? Kim says all this with a straight face in the interview, then we see her in the scene asking for not so healthy snacks. Whatever. Kim is so annoying, I'm just over her in general. At least her kids are cute.
Nene is on the phone with Cynthia and tells her about Sheree's accusations against her. She also tells Cynthia that she wouldn't take money from Sheree, but she could give her some. Although I doubt Nene actually would. Let's be real. Cynthia says it's probably just a misunderstanding. It's never that simple, though.
Phaedra is busy creating mock funeral programs - for fun - and Kandi comes to visit. Phaedra gets pretty morbid, talking about how she can't wait to handle dead bodies. I'm sorry. That's just not for me. Mama no like. I think Kandi agrees with me on that one. Phaedra directs her great aunt's funeral and everything goes according to plan. It does seem like a very nice ceremony and the family is very appreciative of all of her hard work. I must say, Phaedra is great in front of a crowd. Her public speaking is on point, but I'm not surprised, she is a lawyer after all. Phaedra says she loves formalities, and I think we can all agree that she does seem to respond well to pomp and circumstance.
Nene and Sheree each prepare for their confrontation. Nene is confident that Sheree is just jealous of her. Her attitude is, "Either we're going to be cool, or we're not going to be cool." When they finally do meet, it's very tense from the start. Sheree explains that the promoter of the event in question stated that Nene called him and said he should have paid Sheree less. It's kind of hard to follow Sheree's story, but we don't get enough information to really know who's side to be on. It quickly dissolves into a shouting match, with both ladies calling their sources to prove their case. But nothing gets resolved. Sheree's argument is that Nene shouldn't have messed with her money, and that black women should want each other to succeed. (Side note: I love that Nene referenced Star Jones in her interview - she did use the exact same complaint against Nene on Celebrity Apprentice, almost verbatim.) Nene maintains that she never talked about money with the promoter or anyone else, that her assistant Diana was the one who spoke to the promoter. Thereby indicating that the promoter is lying, since he's saying he spoke directly to Nene. Nene is hurt that Sheree would take someone's side that she hardly knows, instead of Nene, who she's known for years. But Nene doesn't show she's hurt, she just reinforces that wall between them, saying, "while you were running your mouth, I was running to the bank." Plonk! Can't really argue with that. Instantly, both ladies are screaming, and Nene bellows, "I am VERY RICH, BITCH!" To which Sheree responds, "You need to get your mother f*cking teeth fixed!" The screaming continues. Nene interviews that she needed to leave before she knocked Sheree to the floor. Sheree keeps hurling insults at Nene, talking about her first car being repo'd, her teeth being rotten, and pretty much any other hurtful memory she can throw in her face. Nene turns around and smiles and brags about her $50,000 veneers and walks out. We'll definitely be seeing this scene reenacted over and over again. My only question is, why is Sheree bringing up old stuff? She's presumably mad about a CURRENT situation, so keep it CURRENT. Nene has made no secret of her financial problems in the past, and she's been very forthcoming about her turbulent life. I just don't think it was necessary for Sheree to bring all of that up, and it made her look petty and mean. And I have to say, Nene does seem to be making a lot more money than Sheree - just look at how much exposure Nene has compared to Sheree. There's no contest.
Cynthia goes to Nene's house, and Nene is able to break down. Her point is that Sheree took someone else's side without even asking her or giving her the benefit of the doubt. I can see why that would be painful, especially coming from someone you've known for a lot of years. But I can't help but remember that last season, Nene essentially did the same thing to Dwight about the whole Greg/money situation. Cynthia calls Sheree jealous, mean spirited, and evil. I think that's a bit of an exaggeration. I think jealous suffices. Cynthia encourages Nene to not let this bring her down, and I couldn't agree more. Nene says she's going to chase her dreams no matter what, and makes it known, "I'm not going to stab you in the back, I'm going to stab you in the chest." Meaning, she will come for you and you will know it. Nene's not hiding.
I have to say I'm Team Nene, not just because I'm a Nene fan, but because Sheree really lost her mind. If she would have kept her cool and asked Nene what happened, maybe they would have been able to work it out. But Sheree hit below the belt, and it didn't help her case at all. I'm sure this isn't the last we'll see of this battle.
Watch What Happens Live featured one of my favorite people of all time, Wendy Williams. She was looking amazing, with her furry shoes. They were amazing. Wendy had a lot to say about Nene, including that she's not a bitch, Bryson seems to have cleaned up his act, and Nene is mean, but a fan favorite. Wendy's makeup and jewelry were on point, too, by the way. Wendy gave good Kardashian conversation, and had a lot of awesome answers to the callers' questions.
On the After Show, the Nene conversation continued, with Wendy saying Nene is vulnerable and is battling the fact that she's a bully who's totally alone. I don't necessarily agree, but I understand where she's coming from. Wendy said Nene and Sheree have a lot of dirt on each other, which I do agree with. That's kind of what makes their fights so intriguing. I loved that a caller asked about Jackee Harry and Regina King coming back to Watch What Happens Live! I can't wait for that to happen! They were amazing - if you don't know what I'm talking about, click here. Wendy had some not so nice things to say about Peter, Cynthia's husband, saying he is "snake-ish". Again, I have to disagree. I like Peter, and I think he's just a different type of guy than what we're used to seeing on these shows. If you want to check out the After Show, click here.

Let's get started with Kim and Kroy at the storage unit. First of all, is she still rocking the same old wig? I think so. We get to see Kim's new mansion and it is super duper huge. I'm thinking that house is being paid for with Kroy's money since I still don't know what Kim does for a living. She's not working as a nurse, I can tell you that. They seem to be in love. But I really can't get over how old Kim looks. He looks his age (25), but she easily looks 15 years older than what she claims to be. I think what ages her is the makeup and all those years of smoking. Oh, and I couldn't stop laughing when Kim asked if Kroy had one of her songs as his ringtone. Um, why the hell would he do that?! Kim's delusion knows no bounds.
Nene goes car shopping with her oldest son, Bryson. Now, I'm a little disappointed that Bryson is still at home, especially after all of the ultimatums Nene gave him last season. Nene is looking cute, I have to say, and she knows it, apparently. She's trying to get a better price on the car using some flirtation. It cracks me up that Nene used to date the owner of the dealership, and she doesn't let him forget it. I got kind of sad that Nene's youngest son wasn't allowed to go along on the test drive. Bummer. Nene's comment that her discount quest was inspired by Donald Trump's negotiation advice was a little ridiculous, but I'll forgive it because she makes me laugh. Especially her emphasizing that she'll pay "cash money" for the car ... "Hi, Haters!" LOL! I love it! And Nene is loving her money right now. All those hosting gigs have been good to her, apparently. Not to mention Celebrity Apprentice.
Sheree visits Lawrence as he records his new song, which is FIRE! I love Lawrence, I want him to take me shopping for makeup. Just saying. And to top it off, he's friggin' talented. Anyway, back to Ms. Sheree. Right out the gate, she trashes Nene for allegedly trying to take money from a deal they were supposed to share. I'm not 100% convinced that Nene actually did this.

Remember One Thing
Hello, again! Please forgive the delay - I didn't forget about my Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, this week has just been extremely hectic.
Let's get right into it. First things first. Russell. His brief appearance in this week's show was very uncomfortable and unsettling. I'm wondering if it'd be better to just cut him out of the show entirely. However, his accusations against Lisa are a big part of the storyline. For the record, I do not believe Lisa has anything to do with the tabloid stories. She just doesn't strike me as that kind of person. And as Kyle pointed out, many many people knew about Taylor and Russell's marital problems. I do, however, agree with Russell's lawyer when he says if they sue the magazine, the source will be revealed. He didn't say he would sue Lisa - he said the magazine. So, when Kyle asks if she's next, the answer is no. Unless she's the source, which I highly doubt. Bottom line, people plant stories all the time, sometimes about other people, and sometimes about themselves. Taylor opened the door for us to look inside her marriage the day she signed up for this show. Unfortunately, it's a story that has a very sad ending.
Kyle's mother in law's facelift was painful to watch for me. I hate needles, scalpels, and pretty much anything hospital-related, so I had to turn away. Kyle broke down after seeing Estella bandaged up, which I totally understood, because I would have reacted the exact same way.
Taylor's plans for Kennedy's 5th birthday party are rolling right along, and we get to see her pick out a $2,000 cake for the event. Awesome! I'm sorry, but all a 5 year old needs is some friends and a Costco sheetcake. That's it. But, apparently, not in Beverly Hills. I actually like the theme, though. A ranch/cowboy/county fair theme sounds pretty fun and age appropriate, so I give Taylor credit for that.
We get to meet Kim's beau, Ken. He seems nice, but there's just something about him I don't trust. I can't really put my finger on it, but I don't have a good feeling about this. On the up side, Kim seems really calm and relaxed with him, so mazel.
Lisa prepares for Pandora's engagement party, and I'm just going to say it again: Lisa, please adopt me. I swear I'll be the perfect adopted 29-year-old daughter. Just saying. I love how Lisa and Pandora interact. You can really see and hear the love they have for each other. That's very rare nowadays. Lisa receives a call from Kim saying she can't come to the party (is anyone surprised?), and begs her to come for a drink. Now, I know everyone is probably ready to nail Lisa for this but it really sounded like she just blurted it out without thinking. Like a figure of speech. Just come for one drink, meaning just come for a couple of minutes. That's how I took it. Thankfully, Kim declined and disaster was averted.
Lisa gives Pandora an exquisite custom made necklace and locket. It totally reminded me of the one in the movie "Annie", only bigger and with diamonds all over it. I love the engraving on it, too. Can you feel the love? You should! I also love that Ken gave Jason an amazing watch from his own collection. I really love this family.
The engagement party was beyond spectacular. First, the belly dancers with snakes and a camel outside. So awesome. I really loved the decor. There's something about Bravo and a Moroccan theme, am I right? Everything looked amazing. The only thing I didn't like was the mermaid doing her little one woman show by the pool. Um, not so much. Camille's face was priceless.
Inside, Adrienne gets probably the ugliest airbrush tattoo I've ever seen. Come on, Adrienne, a band around your bicep? You have better taste than that!
I loved the crazy acrobat dancers at this party. They were hysterical. And I really loved Kyle jumping in and doing her gymnastics. This is the fun Kyle we love. Oh and Taylor had to horn in and lift up her leg. Boo.
