Kim Richards Still In Rehab


Earlier, reports were everywhere that Kim Richards had left rehab. No, no, no. Hey, that line never gets old and it will be a way to remember Amy Winehouse forever. Just remember that in about 10 years people will go Amy who? Keep the love. Anyway, Kim did not leave rehab, she was just visited in rehab by her sister Kyle. Kim was also visited by three of Kyle's daughters and one of Kim's daughters. Cameras from Bravo? I have not heard any news about whether Kim's boyfriend has visited yet. I think its great that Kim is taking rehab seriously and seems to be going to stay there as long as possible.

  2. "Just remember that in about 10 years people will go Amy who?"

    I doubt it.

    I can honestly say that i do not know a single song by Amy Winehouse.... I wouldn't recognize her voice if I heard it on the radio.

    And the only reason I know who she is is because I this site and her train wreck headlines over the years.

  7. I would like to see a celebrity actually get clean and stay that way...we haven't seen one do that since RDJ. And I have my doubts about him, I think he is just older and has it more under "control" if there really is such a thing.

  8. BigMama, yes. I was just saying the other day that I do not believe RDJ is clean. I think he has moved on to prescription drugs and is, as you said, managing to keep it together. I've read many profiles of him in recent years that mention the "doctor's bag" he doesn't let out of his sight. He claims it's full of his herbal remedies.

    All that said, I do like the guy.

  9. All I can see is 'Escape to Witch Mountain' when I look at that woman. I never watched the Cali Housewives, too close to home for me.

  10. I had read that Kim had actually left the "boyfriend" and was basically homeless staying with friends before she went to rehab.

    Interesting comments about RDJ. I've wondered about him for a long time now. It's nice to know I'm not the only one with a suspicious mind.

    Shoot, now I'm singing Elvis in my head...

  11. has Kathy Hilton or any of her trash family visited? Only Kyle? Selfish bitches...they should not be allowed to breed.

  12. I don't know...being a recovering alcoholic myself, addiction is progressive and when you've gone as far as RDJ had, I don't see how he could possibly turn it around and keep it under control. It just gets worse and worse the farther along you get. Maybe I'm just naive in hoping he truly is in recovery. Plus, he doesn't act like he's on prescription drugs; he always seems pretty with it.

  13. holly, you don't think an addict can get clean and stay that way? they most certainly can. no matter how far down that road you've gone, it's possible if you want it badly enough.

  14. @nancer - I think Holly is saying the opposite. I think she is saying there is no way an addict like RDJ could get clean and then begin using again but keep it under raps the way some are suggesting (or at least that is what I took away from what Holly said).

    I think people can come back from the brink and at least try to keep it under control. Look at Drew Barrymore... I know there were some blinds where people speculated she was the drunk, but I don't think there's been a whole lot of media speculation that she drinks to excess, yet she used to do drugs. When I was in college, I did coke way too much. Haven't touched the stuff in 15 years but I still drink from time to time (although not now at all because I am pregnant). But what do I know...

  15. Thanks, KLM. That is exactly what I was saying. I don't believe you can be that far into addiction and then miraculously all of a sudden be able to control it. You have to get clean and stay clean. I totally believe it's possible and I am living proof of that. I just doubt that RDJ would be able to all of a sudden keep his drug use manageable, since addiction progressively gets worse.

  16. I think the thing that truly saved RDJ life is when he met his wife Susan. She keeps him in reign and he admitted they go to counseling when she feels thing go off the rails a bit.

    Of course he could fall off the wagon at any moment. But I think he will make it and be a good example to others that their is light on the other side of darkness.

    I hope Kim is getting help for herself and not just to keep her gig on RHOBH. You barely saw her this season.

  17. thanks for the clarification, holly. i don't think RDJ is using. he's just a frenetic, animated person. he almost died behind that addiction, had tons of support and got clean. he's a husband and father and i don't see him jeopardizing that. i think he GETS IT, unlike so many who never do.

  18. Damn Kyle is smoking hot. Might have to pay more attention to the Richards family.

    As for Amy, I think people forget that she was essentially a one hit wonder (Rehab) that got lots of press for her behavior, not her music. The UK may remember her for a while because more successful there but here in the US, forget it.

  19. Enty has hinted that RDJ has slipped at least a couple of times over the last few years. I wonder if he doesn't go back and forth. But even if that's true, props to him for continuing to fight back instead of just giving in to the addiction.

  20. So who thinks that Kyle has extensions? She says she doesn't have them, but look at her hair and then look at Kim's.

  21. I know from personal experience and social experience (and reading the literature) that many hard drug users persuade themselves that a little alcohol and a little marijuana aren't going to trip them up. And sometimes they're right. I have had two glasses of wine occasionally since getting off drugs, and I took a few hits off a joint (and immediately regretted it). For some addicts, as long as one stays away from one's "drug of choice" or personal ruination, it looks like you're Winning™. Downey's main problem was smoking and slamming cocaine, and the gossip sites have fingered him as a marijuana-smoker on and off for years since his sobriety.

  22. I wouldn't call Amy a one hit wonder.

  23. Based on this season, Kim probably needs to stay in rehab for quite a bit longer.

    Kyle claims she's never had plastic surgery either, but I have my doubts.
