Bravo Is Stretching Out Real Housewives BH For Four Episodes
Bravo loves Real Housewives - Beverly Hills so much that they have managed to extract four more episodes out of it. Three which they are calling a reunion and one featuring lost footage. The third episode in the bunch is where Kim Richards is interviewed by Andy Cohen. You will be pleased, nay, overjoyed to know that Kim has finally removed that hideous top she wore all season that looked like she was covering up a nest of hickeys and has opted for something low cut and cleavagey. Yes, I know that is not a word, but when one is discussing Kim Richards, one does not need to make sense because she rarely does. In her one on one with Andy she says that she is an alcoholic. I think she has said that before. She does not fess up to any other things though. She was not drunk at most of the things she was at this season, she was on every other kind of drug. How about fessing up to those? I bet she is still taking her pills everyday.
I always figured that Victorian blouse was covering track marks or bruises. Maybe now that she is done with rehab, she can show skin again
ReplyDeleteFour episodes?! Gawd, I won't bother (except maybe epi 3). I gave up on the show mid season because it got so strung out and petty.
I seem to be in the minority here, but I have never watched any of the Real Housewives. Or the Kar... erm, They Who Must Not Be Named. Or Jersey Shore. I have enough stupid, yet sometimes entertaining drama on my Facebook friends feed.
ReplyDeleteJust like the clap, I am hoping reality television goes away. ;)
They have been doing 2 part reunion shows for a long time now, and last year they did a lost episodes of one of the franchises. Sounds like the only new thing is the 1 on 1 with Kim, but since she wasnt at the reunion, I can see them doing it.
ReplyDeleteKim had to be on more than booze, she's one of those people you can only describe as "spastic", constant jerky movement, silliness, etc... That's not booze, that's speed.
Ohmanohmanohman,
ReplyDeleteKim Richards needs to be interviewed by Dr. Drew.
She's too hard to watch with all her lying and deceit. Maybe when she's been sober for a few years.
This will be like watching a chiuahuah cross an ice skating rink.
since i don't watch this show can someone explain to me between it and Tony and Tia from escape to witch mountain?
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the show but that is ALL I think of when I see Kim. That's the girl I remember when I was a kid. I loooooooved those movies!!
ReplyDeleteOn the show she named the medications she's on... Lexapro (anti-anxiety), Trazadone (anti-depression) and Topamax (anti-seizure med used to treat alcoholism.) I assume taking all of that makes you a little loopy. I feel like there might be a recreational one in the mix too. Or maybe just too big of a dose of her Rx meds.
ReplyDeleteKim's talking head segments are always entertaining but in a strangely uncomfortable way. (Love the mention of that hideous blouse with the enormous neck bow, Enty! She was probably hiding the marks of Pumice's attempted asphyxiation. Just sayin'.)
ReplyDeleteKim truly is a train wreck, with myriad excuses for not being able to accomplish or attend anything. Like her excuses for not making the flight to Hawaii. "I can't find my driver license!" Now my passport is another story, it could be in any one of ten places but I always know where my damned driver license is... in my wallet!
Was anyone else surprised when Kyle said she hadn't been in a car with Kim for twelve years? For someone who cries at the drop of a hat at everything Kim does, I kind of pictured Kyle and Kim being closer and hanging out together more that just on camera.
Yeah, as you can tell, I'm hooked on this show. Now if Bravo would only jettison Taylor and Dana...
@ izz - that adorable little girl in the photo, Kim Richards, is now one of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. If you've got the time and brain cells to kill, you really should tune in!
ReplyDeleteKim Richards played Tia in escape from witch mountain. Yes, that cute little actress
ReplyDeleteall of these shows stretch the episodes if the ratings are good and cash in.
ReplyDeleteI never watched the real housewives, but I LOVED the Witch Mountain movies when I was a kid. I can't believe that was her.
ReplyDeleteI believe the boy in the picture is Ike Eisenman. He was in everything in the 70's. If you weren't into Lief or a Cassidy brother, you liked Ike.
ReplyDeleteBefore I started watching this, a couple months ago, I didn't realize who Kim was. Loved those movies as a kid!
ReplyDeleteEnty, I call it "boobage."
ReplyDeleteI just told the Mum the other day that I don't know if I've ever seen anyone behave like Kim. Is it drugs? Is it booze? Is it both? Her thoughts seem to jump all over the place and then she's nodding off. She's a train wreck for sure. Andy Cohen has mentioned how brutal the taping of the reunion show was, so I know I'll be watching whether it's 4 nights or 14.
where's the doctor's responsibility? Oh that's right, he gets kick backs from the Pharm comps to keep people like KM doped up.
ReplyDeleteAnd yest I still cannot legally smoke a j.
Cray cray z
While she admits to being an alcoholic, I'm still not cetain that is all she's hooked on....she was ALWAYS camped out in a bathroom somewhere, alone, for extended periods of time & not ONCE did she claim to have "Montezuma's Revenge"...I agreed with Brandy when she accused her of using meth and/or cocaine.
ReplyDeleteWell, the finale of RHBH was so freaking boring, IMHO. The most interesting tidbit is that Lisa up and moved out of her gorgeous house.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I will be watching. I am hooked on RHBH and RHNJ. But, honestly, MobWives has my heart. That show is bananas. Big Ang is made of win. And the crazy broads on Mob Wives really have problems since all of their men are MAJOR losers/criminals. Plus, you could make a fantastically awesome drinking game based on their levels of cursing. It is like on a whole other playing field.
I hope that it's true that Kim broke up with the gay dog. I personally thought he looked like a rhino. He was clearly an enabler and a control freak. Kim needs to heal in peace.
ReplyDeleteA three part reunion??? Wow, they really are stretching it out.
ReplyDeleteYES! I am one that will be overjoyed not to have to see that hideous gold top again!
I have used the word cleavagey before.
I'm guessing that Kim is addiction to Rx pills + booze.
I was a chubby brunette growing up and when I saw Escape from Witch Mountain at the theaters, I remember coming out thinking, If I looked like her I would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteImagine my surprise to find out what she turned into....
Thanks Mango, I would never have known it was her!
ReplyDeleteI know her one addiction is bad fashion choices. She's a walking Glamour Don't !
ReplyDeleteBetween that horrible Bow blouse that makes her look like a mannequin's dummy
And that Horrible triple strand pearl choker that she rocked for the last two seasons (!) somebody needs to take her shopping ! And get rid of that nasty shade of blond hair. I can't stand this woman. (Obviously).
califblondy - I think you might be onto something with the "boobage" thing. I did a wikipedia search for Kim Richards and her entry was filed under "Boobs". I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, because I always ignore any Real Housewives posts. I only read this one because of the Escape to Witch Mountain picture.
ReplyDeleteKim Richards is about my age, and, let me tell you, in 1971, she was one of my first fantasy girls.
ReplyDeleteI don't care about her now, but Prudence occupied a special place in my heart, oops, imagination, for a part of the '70's. So did, btw, Nanny, for some topless scene she did that made it into the November 1972 Playboy that I coveted.
It's odd that in the previews of the reunion, it looks like they do a lot of ganging up on Lisa. Apparently in the previews for this season, they showed a bunch of scenes where different people had conflict with her, but those didn't actually make it onto the air. I wonder if those will show up in the "lost footage?"
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know if I can stand to watch Taylor a minute longer. She is such a rotten person. And every word that comes out of her mouth is a lie.
@Mooshki - Did you see WWHL w/ Brandi/Lisa this week? I haven't seen the previews yet, but based on her reaction to Andy's questioning if she missed living next to Adrienne, I wondered what all they'd left out of the footage?
ReplyDelete@media darling: your analysis of the drugs she's on isn't completely accurate (note, im not a dr. if you are my apologies). Trazadone can also be used to treat insomnia, and I've never heard if Topamax for alcoholism. The mix of these drugs IS however common for those who are bi-polar....I am and its part of ny cocktail.
ReplyDeleteAn unlabeled use of Topamax is for treatment of bi-polar disorder. Just a little FYI there.
ReplyDeleteI'm familiar with Topamax...I've had to administer it many times. The side effects include speech problems, concentration problems, sedation, confusion, depression...I had a friend who took it and it turned her into a weird, zombie like thing. It was like she couldn't keep her thoughts together; she would take loooong pauses in the middle of a sentence while she tried to regain her train of thought. It was odd.
Also trazodone makes you sleepy and have slurred speech. Poor chick is gonna sound out of it no matter if she's drinking or not.
