Oh it's a sad little group of photos this week! Between the storms in the East and the election, our reality TV stars laid low and hid from cameras this past week (shocking, I know)!
NeNe Leakes is looking fab and fierce as she attends the Ebony Power 100 Gala in NYC.
Oh, what's a reality show without a meltdown? I mean really. Can you imagine? There have been big ones, little ones, and epic ones and we here at Reality Tea mostly care about the epic ones.
You know, the meltdowns that result in flipped tables, country club stalking, slapped faces, thrown bottles, and wardrobe malfunctions. A fractured relationship doesn't hurt either!
Below is our list of top meltdowns. Be warned: these are all of soap opera proportions!
Smearing a bunch of concealer on your lips is not cute – it's disturbing. Just as wearing "suntan" pantyhose is not cute. Why do you want to look lip-less? Especially when you've surgically enhanced them already?
I'm beginning to think that Bravo's wealthiest zip code is about to need a MAC Cosmetics intervention. Let's get the stars of RuPaul's Drag Race in there and show these girls how it's done. Adrienne Maloof, Yolanda Foster, and Taylor Armstrong – I am looking at you.
On the bright note, Splits Richards only wore ONE caftan-y garment last night. That's like some kind of reality TV milestone, right?
Also what think you of the intros. I thought they were all cute, HOWEVER Taylor's about 'working too hard for this zip code' was not appropriate in my opinion.
So let us begin… Lisa Vanderpump levitates above these ladies like the fabulous beacon of pink glow that she is. She is the goddess of this bunch, like Glenda The Good Witch on Wizard of Oz. And now she has moved to a fabulous new home – far more chic than her old overblown digs. That closet. Her glow-y, plush bedroom. I really wish Lisa would adopt me and then I could throw away all her pink satin blouses embellished by Pandora's bedazzler and we'd be one big happy, wine-sipping family.
If there's one word that isn't in Brandi Glanville's vocab, it would have to be "sugar-coated". One of the things I adore about Brandi's sassy style is that she just says whatever is on her mind. She doesn't worry about being PC, nor does she care that others will get ticked at her. Brandidoesn't hide a single thought.
A perfect example is her most recent interview. Brandi let it all hang out – addressing her issues withTaylor Armstrong and Adrienne Maloof, explaining how hard it was to get used to the craziness of the show and more!
Brandi says that the drama on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is the real deal. Including the infamous "Games Night" episode last year when Kim Richards hid her crutches. Brandi says nobody could help her out of that situation. "I’m still scarred from that night. When I watch that scene, I get knots in my stomach, because I remember how horrible it was. I was crying at one point (during filming), and I remember one of the producers—you can’t break the wall, but there are producers everywhere—and I was like, I just want to leave, can someone get my crutches? And his face, he couldn’t do anything. I wasn’t used to it yet, so I didn’t know, like, no one could do anything. I was like, get me the f*** out of here."
Just in case you're in the 1% who isn't aware, tonight is the season three premiere ofReal Housewives of Beverly Hills. After months of hearing about the nonstop drama that engulfed the ladies, we will finally get to see what all the fuss is about! Anyone else slightly afraid but also trembling with anticipation?
And after speculation that she is possibly being phased out of the show this season, Taylor Armstrong doesn't seem to be taking it too seriously as she focuses on her love life! Taylor recently gushed about finding the "love of my life" in an interview and this weekend People spotted Taylor and her mystery love on a romantic brunch date at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Taylor yanked on her best leather leggings to sit poolside and canoodle with an "older gentleman with salt and pepper hair." Sounds a lot like the married attorney, John Bluher, Taylor is rumored to be dating!
Last night Lisa, her daughter Pandora, and Hollywood Exes' newest star Daphne Wayans stepped out for the 2nd Annual Inspiration Women Awards for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Lisa was nominated – and won! – under the "Style & Elegance" category. Fitting, right?
Gracious alive, those women from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have more money than they know what to do with! When they're done installing five-star spas into guest houses, purchasing 10,000 square foot vacation homes, and buying a fleet of private jets, what do they do with the extra money? Do they bathe in it? Set it on fire and laugh? Use it as toilet paper? I am just so enthralled.
All of the women on this franchise are rich beyond my wildest imagination, but given recent and past turmoil, it just goes to show that money can't buy you happiness. It also can't prevent one from having to go through awful experiences. I think I'll stay comfortably poor, a-thank-you-very-much!
Today's RHOBH news focuses on Adrienne Maloof who is going through a contentious divorce with plastic surgeon husband Paul Nassif, as well as housewife newbie Yolanda Foster who has endured several health scares in the past. None of it is pretty, and it makes me very thankful for my meager lifestyle.
