The Delusional Housewives of Beverly Hills

Ok, I have to admit that I love this show.  If you have not seen it, its on Bravo and it follows 6 rich women who live in Beverly Hills and shows their lives and interactions with each other.  Certainly nothing I can relate to but her is a little introduction and recap:

1.  Kim Richards.    When I was a little girl, she was a child star on a show called 'Nanny and the Professor' with  Juliet Mills and Richard Long  (Heath from the Big Valley).   Her credits on IMDB show she had an ok career but does not do much acting now.  She has 4 kids and is pretty much just mom.  She is not a real or delusional houswife as she has been divorced twice and in a long term relationship that is over so she is the poor pathetic single of the group.  She looks sad a lot, especially when the husbands are along for the ride ans she is alone.  The truth is she looks terribly fragile and I read she went into rehab after the season was over.  I hopefully she gets healthier.   Other trivia is that she is the sister of Kathy Hilton, Paris' mom.   I read an article that she was dating a man that was killed right in front of her, shot on the street.  That incident could explain a lot.

2.  Kyle Richards.    Kim and Kathy's sister, married to handsome and  sexy Mauricio and mom to 4 daughters.  Certainly the more stable Richards sister, also a former child star though not as successful as her sister.  She seems pretty down to earth for this group although she seems to say whatever goes through her mind.    Her husband is in real estate and makes probably the least of the husbands but they live ok.  She is a pretty hands on mom and a little more modest, even though she did give her 2 year old a $12,000 birthday party with a bouncy house, a train and a petting zoo.   Her best friend is Faye Resnick from OJ fame.   She seems to feel like she has to take care of her more fragile sister but she's frankly a little mean to her.

3.  Lisa Vanderpump.    British, married to her husband what's his name.  Can't remember.  They own 2 swanky restaurants and have been married for like 30 years.  She has a great sense of humor and seems to express exactly what I'm thinking sometimes.  She is crazy about her husband and he for her an they have a live in houseguest, Cedric, who followed them from England and will not leave.  Cedric hangs out with Lisa and runs her errands and swims in her pool and does little else.  I think he will be chunked soon.  Lisa also has a little dog named Jiggy, short for Gigolo and Jiggy dresses well and Lisa carries him everywhere.  Lisa seems to be the most modest and sensible of the housewives and is my favorite.

4.  Taylor Armstrong.  Married to cold hearted Russell.   This is a business arrangement and no one really makes any qualms about it.  Taylor expresses that she would have like to marry for love but she wanted to have a lifestyle different from what she grew up with and there is a price for that.  They have a little girl named Kennedy and Taylor paid $60,000 for her 4th birthday party.  That would officially be more money that I have ever made in one year in my entire life.  Taylor has her lifestyle but also a husband who cares little for her or her child and who probably has a chippie or 2 on the side.   She is officially the saddest of the housewives.

5.  Adrienne Maloof.  Married to Paul, a plastic surgeon.  Mother to 3 hellions under 10.  Her family (not Paul) owns the Sacramento Kings and the Palms Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.   I like her too, very down to earth for this group and certainly for a woman with this much money.  She takes everyone to see the Kings play and Jay Z in concert at the Palms.

6.  Camille Grammar.  Married to Kelsey from 'Frazier'.   Or used to be.  This one is an official piece of work.   Face work.  Boob work.  Children from surrogate to avoid messing up her body.  4 nannies for 2 kids, a couple of cooks, a house manager.   She doesn't like women because they are catty to her.  She does not now nor will she ever probably have a real woman friend because she tends to go into stripper mode when she is around the husbands.  She is normally in the middle of them, hanging on them, flirting with them, doing lap dances for them.  She probably does not remember her kids' names.  She has a friend named Deidra that kisses her ass but Camille says every week that Deidra and her husband had hit hard times and she pays all their bills and they live in one of Camille's houses, so ass kissing is the least she could do.  She does have a friend named Allison Dubois, the alleged model for the show 'Medium' who is, without a doubt, the most obnoxious drunk on television.   I could go on and on...OY.

This week, Camille gets a call from Kelsey telling her her marriage is over.  I cannot wait to see if anyone anywhere feels any sympathy for her.
