Nothing Shocking

‘RHOBH’ Star Dorit Kemsley and Husband PK Kemsley Are Taking Time Apart After 9 Years of Marriage

If you are a RHOBH fan this is not a suprise. I mean c'mon you didn't see this coming all last season?

Well I guess this headline will bring the ever out of touch with reality Dorit back for season fourteen.

Call it: Saved by the separation...

Hump Day & Chill

The Women of Beverly Hills

OK, I'll admit it! I watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Hey, we all have guilty pleasures and tonight is Part II of the reunion. For those out of the loop this is when all the women have watched the current season that just aired and get together to discuss, relive and go for the jugular with one another.

Thus, in case you haven't guessed I (and anyone who cares to join me) am going to Hump Day & Chill to the women and them being reunited and see who calls out who for what transpired during their 13th season.

FYI Beverly Hills is the only Housewives show I actually watch, I didn't want to leave the impression I was a Houwewives connoisseur after all.

Yep, it's a self indulgent Hump Day & Chill and you know what?!

I've earned it!

Back To The Hills

T.G.I.F. Minions! Well as everyone knows by now Denise Richards is returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

While there are some of you (I don't know you) that are not pleased about this, I for one am.

Denise was the breath of fresh air the show needed the first season she was on, that's why she got dragged the second one. Jealousy is an ugly thing, and Rinna (the Queen of Dragging Housewives) did not her stealing her thunder, thus she hopped on her broomstick and did her thing.

I also think it's great that Lisa Rinna is off the show, it will give Denise a lot more room to breathe and reclaim her first season bad self.

Yeah, I agree with what Garcelle is saying...

Just Because...

The Look Of...
Garcelle Beauvais

Here's a shot of Garcelle Beauvais shooting the current season of RHOBH. I ran it, Just Because I am feeling down and for whatever reason it made me smile (never question anything that makes you smile.) Also Just Because it has weekend vibes written all over, under and above it,

Garcelle was one of the MVP's from last season of RHOBH, in fact she was my favorite. Also I am honestly looking forward to a Lisa Rinna free season, her behavior was getting way out of control and too toxic for my tastes.

So cheers to lighter times ahead this coming RHOBH season, "Yes" Garcelle today you made me feel lighter, Just Because...

Caption This...

What's Your Favorite Scary Movie?

So this photo emerged from the Elton John Oscar Party that benefits his AIDS foundation. 

"Yes" Minions it's some RHOBH alum Mauricio Umansky, Harry Hamlin, Lisa Rinna, Diana Jenkins & Asher Monroe. 

Charity makes for strange bedfellows, no that isn't my caption for the photo, although it is a good one fer sure.

Mine is "Dinner Party In Hell"

What's yours???

Ding Dong

Well as most of you RHOBH (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) fans have heard Lisa Rinna is out for season thirteen. 

"Yes" I know LVP (Lisa Vanderpump) posted my "ding dong" byline on Social Media, and it's accurate, not to mention funny!

Once upon a time Rinna was a agent of chaos in a loveable, F#ck Up type of way. Somewhere along the trail of breadcrumbs she left she evolved into someone quite malevolent and increasingly problematic. 

Let's face it Minions she was downright uncomfortable and despicable to watch for a few years now. Especially this past season.

While I am sure some are sorry to see her go, I for one am not.

Hey Rinna, don't forget your broomstick on the way out...!!!

Hump Day & Chill

She's Talking About You Three!
l-r
Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne & Diana Jenkins

Every Wednesday I Hump Day & Chill to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Hey, it's the only housewives show I watch, my guilty pleasure so cut me some slack Minions.

This being stated last week's episode made me very uncomfortable. The undeserved ganging up on Sutton Stracke. The quite free way Diana and Erika called her a mid section with a "C" and laughed. Yeah, that was pretty vile stuff and not what I signed up for. 

Will I Hump Day & Chill to RHOBH tonight. "Yes" of course I will! I can't wait to see what Kathy and Kyle (the Richards sisters) have a falling out about. I'm sure whatever it is I will be team Kathy 100%.

Speaking of Kathy see the meme above? This is based on Ms. Hilton's brilliant and sometimes subtle shade throwing. 

All the women seemed puzzled when Kathy said there were three things she would never want to be called: a liar, a thief or a pedophile. The first two no one thought anything of, it was pedophile that threw the ladies. 

Well remember Kathy is the Queen of Subtle Shade and I think this meme sums up what and who Kathy was addressing perfectly. 

TTFN, Hump Day & Chill Minions!

Erika de Vil

Separated at Birth?
Erika Jayne & Cruella di Vil

OK, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans, of which, in case you were unaware, I am. First off let's address the elephant in the room. On what planet does Erika Jayne think it was appropriate to suggest the Crystal Minkoff, rather then purge, take laxatives to for her eating disorder because it would be easier than praying to the Porcelain God?!?!

Perhaps on Planet Claire? While we all know Erika is wasted on medication and alcohol, which Crystal chalks the "advice" up to. I have to wonder if it's projection at this point on Ms. Jayne's part. No matter how wasted I have been that is something I would have never said in this scenario, thus I'm on team projection, while wasted, and not very elegantly I might add.

Whatever the case it did make for a jaw dropping moment of TV and that's what keeps the audience watching.

Thus when I saw this meme juxtaposing Erika with Cruella de Vil, well if the Dalmatian Coat fits...

T.G.I.F!

Houndstooth Housewife

Stepping Out
Kathy Hilton

Let's start the week off with a little Houndstooth shall we? Of course we shall! Witness one Kathy Hilton out for dinner in West Hollywood, CA wearing Houndstooth, duh! Making her the "Houndstooth Houswife" get it, got it, good!

Nobody does it better than Kathy, ask the fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, like me. 

Oh that Kathy could let loose with the most off the wall zingers at the most unexpected times. 

She's got style, she's got class and she does it all with sass!!!

My only remaining "?" is WTF does spell check keep flagging Houndstooth as incorrectly spelled?!

This is the way it's written, I double checked. So be it, indeed....

Friday Feeling

If Unbothered Was A Person
Crystal Kung Minkoff

This amazing still of Crystal Kung Minkoff from this past Wednesday's episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is all you need heading into the weekend. It is giving me all the Friday Feeling I need.

Crystal is now my Queen of Shade, because nobody throws it better than she. 

While I am not going into mass detail here is an overview of the situation that brought us a look for the ages. 

Insane Sutton and even keeled Crystal have been going at it basically, and finally Crystal has had enough of Sutton's BS and takes her down a peg. Then Sutton starts crying this is the look she gives her: Unbothered by Crystal Kung Minkoff.

Now before you go thinking Crystal is some kind of mean girl, think again. Sutton is a certified loon and it doesn't take much to push her into the bin.

Seriously, Sutton had it coming and Crystal was the one to give it to her.

T.G.I.F!

Hump Day & Chill

Join Us?
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

After a trying 2020 things are slowly progressing back to something resembling our new normal. One of those things is the premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills tonight on Bravo.

How nice it will be to Hump Day & Chill with the ladies of the BH, it will feel like, well business as usual and that brings me a certain comfort. Beverly Hills is my favorite in the real housewives franchise, which truly isn't saying too much since the only other one I watch is the New York women. 

While I am bummed that Denise Richards has exited I am happy to see the familiar group reunite. Plus there's a new housewife in the zip code, Crystal Kung Minkoff, she is the first Asian RHOBH cast member and from the looks of the season 11 preview she brings it!

Personally I am quivering with anticipation to bear witness to the drama that is sure to be Erika Jayne this season. With her shall we say, "current situation?" we shall!

You now know how I am going to Hump Day & Chill, join me? Or not...

We have arrived at yet another Thursday of another week in the year 2020.

Hump Day & Chill

When In Rome...
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

After a month of having endured repeat episodes with cast commentary, we have made it to Hump Day & Chill again with (finally) a brand new episode of  The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airing tonight, Yay! 

The reason for the month long gap? Well the 411 is because of the current pandemic they were behind on filming the confessionals. Which makes sense, because they would not be able to shoot them until after the show is completely edited and in the can as the women of BH don't really know what footage has been used until the final cut.

So, the women are jet setting off to Rome soon, as the photo above shows. Lets cross our fingers that when in Rome they do as the Romans do. Which means be more of a lover than a fighter. I know wishful thinking, right?!

Personally I am just glad that my Hump Day & Chill guilty pleasure is back, times are tough enough without having to endure repeat episodes with cast commentary.

This past week two things have occupied the corners of my mind, David Bowie and Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits. How are they related to my psyche, each other and the world around me? I really don't know. What I do know is both of these things take me to a happy place and in these trying times that's the best medicine there is, time to carry on...

Current Mood

Can't Fight This Feeling!
Lisa Rinna 

This photo of Lisa Rinna motoring to a yoga class with a T-Shirt slogan that reads "Good Vibes" is my post Labor Day Current Mood.

I feel very zen at present as I sit at the computer in the home stretch of my recovery from surgery. 

Lisa is currently embroiled in shooting Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. We shall see how the show does post the hemorrhaging of ruling Queen Bee, the other Lisa, Lisa Vanderpump. 

They've added two newcomers instead of one to replace LVP, Garcelle Beauvis & Rinna friend and ally Sutton Stracke. Which is leading to speculation that Erika Jayne may be out this season or demoted to friend of the show via a recent cast announcement for the upcoming season minus her name.

Oh the drama! Season 10 has barely begun shooting and woot there it is! 

Honestly I'll take a yoga mat and some "Good Vibes" over drama any day.

Namaste.

With all the BS going on in the world, Georgia and it's almost complete abolishment of abortion rights is currently public enemy number one. After all what does number two do? So I thought it was time to break out my twins and throw my support behind a woman's right to choose.

OK, I am breaking them out metaphorically, because if I broke them out literally, well then the censors who run my forum on the WWW would certainly gun for me too. "Yes" it's a mad, mad, mad world and we are living in it.
