Taylor Armstrong Denies Drinking Problem While Kyle Richards Rebuffs Intervention Rumors; Plus Brandi Glanville Discusses Therapy With Eddie and Leann

Is she an alcoholic or isn’t she an alcoholic?  Is she being phased out of the show or is she not being phased out of the show?  Is she a member of the Ford dynasty or is she not a member of the Ford dynasty? There is an intervention planned.  There is not an intervention planned.  If all of this back and forth continues, I may have a meltdown Taylor Armstrong style.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills sources have been speculating for weeks about Taylor’s terrible drinking problem and the intervention her fellow cast mates were planning.  The rumor mill has been a buzz over a drunken Taylor at Portia’s fourth birthday party and her booze-fueled meltdown during  a recent spa trip.  A source even told Perez Hilton, “The entire cast will be filming together this week and the plan is for the ladies to confront Taylor about her growing dependence on alcohol.”

However, Taylor’s biffle has another story for RumorFix.  Kyle Richards tells the site,“I don’t know where everybody is coming up with these rumors. There’s no planned intervention.”  Hmmm…I wonder if this is a case of trying to throw all the gossip sites off of their game, or whether Bravo doesn’t want another season revolving around such dark story lines.

There is another person who doesn’t think Taylor has any issues with alcohol.  That person, of course, would be Taylor herself.  Well duh!

A production reveals to RadarOnline.com, “Taylor insists that she definitely doesn’t have a drinking problem . Taylor is steadfast that she doesn’t abuse alcohol and that her focus is being the best mother possible to her daughter. She doesn’t like the meddling that the other Housewives are causing in her life right now. She says the only reason that she drinks is to relax and unwind a bit at the end of the day, and that she never drinks before 6 p.m. and usually will only have a drink or two after Kennedy has gone to sleep.”  I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen any of the ladies stop after one or two drinks, come to think of it!

“Taylor got wasted at Portia‘s birthday party, and Kennedy was there, so if Taylor doesn’t think her daughter doesn’t know what is going on she truly is in denial,” continues the source.  “No, Taylor doesn’t ever drink and drive and she did have a driver that night, but that doesn’t mean there is any less cause for concern.”

In fact, Tamara Tattles posted that she’s been hearing rumors of something going down at Andy Cohen’s book release party earlier this week, at which Taylor was in attendance.  She alludes to the notion that Taylor may not be phased out of the show, but she could potentially be edited out altogether!  While I find that idea highly unlikely, I am super curious to hear what may have happened at the event.

Because there are other people on RHOBH other than Taylor, let’s show some love to the sometimes kooky, always brutally honest Brandi Glanville.  She recently admitted that she has been attending counseling sessions with her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian and his former mistress/current wife/one-time singer Leann Rimes.  Brandi explains to E! that the sessions are at times “uncomfortable,” but are necessary to “open up lines of communication.”  Eddie and Leann were also invited by Brandi to spend Easter with her and the two sons she shares with Eddie.

“I did it for the kids. I don’t know that many ex-wives who would do that,” Brandi tells the site. “I’m not a hateful person.”  I must say I am beyond impressed to hear this news.  Brandi may be crass and sometimes a bit much to take, but I respect that she speaks her mind and clearly doesn’t care what people think of her.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE RECENT TAYLOR RUMORS?  DO YOU BELIEVE BRAVO WILL EDIT HER OUT OF THE SHOW?  COMMENTS ON BRANDI’S THERAPY WITH EDDIE AND LEANN?
