In the dangerous lives of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, when you head to a party, you need backup. That said, we break down last night in our +/- recap! First, back to Pandora’s wedding extravaganza. Wedding planner Kevin was slightly less annoying this week but that may be because we saw so little of him. I will give the man a Plus 10 . He puts together one heck of a lovely table, but does he really need a million dollar budget to pull that off? I don’t think so. From there we head over to Kyle’s where she’s throwing a party to celebrate both Cinco de Mayo and mother-in-law Estelle’s new face. Only in Beverly Hills can the two be combined and no one thinks twice about it.
What do you do when you’ve had a falling out with your friends and your marriage is crumbling around you? Throw an over the top birthday party for your five year old, of course. At least that’s how The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cope.
That wedding Tara Reid just wouldn’t shut up about this summer – because she’s Tara Reid and no one would cover it if she didn’t – apparently wasn’t even REAL. Tara Reid got married in August on the Greek aisles, hilariously Tweeting that her man’s name was Zach Kehayov after we reported she wed her previous fiance. Encountered by TMZ at the airport yesterday, and asked innocently if she and Zach could win the Newlywed Game … the truth about the nuptials came out. First off, her slurred response is amazing – she seems to be on something in the middle of the day – but then confessed she was “never really married.” Tara and Zack Kehayov had a surprise wedding in the Greek Isles in August, but she says she and Zack never made it a legal union here in the U.S.A. Do they plan to? Who the heck knows. But they are not man and wife … although if they become so, she has something else to Tweet about endlessly. On a side note, Reid can actually be seen in a movie soon (see American Reunion trailer ). It’s the first time since … who the heck even knows anymore.
The sixth week of Dancing With the Stars’ 13th season saw some famous faces in the crowd, some fancy footwork and a harsh exchange between Maks and Len. J.R. Martinez and Ricki Lake again stole the show, with sky-high scores that, while deserved, almost seem engineered to give them a buffer against fan voting. Not that Ricki or J.R. didn’t earn their 29s or don’t have major fan support as it is. But it’s like the judges are taking no chances rewarding the high-flying pair. Â Ricki Lake has shown she can move it like no other, and J.R. Martinez’s quickstep to the intro music from Chicago was probably the best routine of the night. That doesn’t mean others didn’t get slighted. Hope Solo’s rumba to “Seasons of Love” from Rent was panned by the judges, particularly Len, who called it her “worst dance” and drew an angry rebuke. After Len noted that the audience applauds the routines, but he’s been in the business for 50 years, Maks suggested that maybe it was “time to get out.” “With all due respect, this is my show, I help make it what it is, I love every aspect of it,” Chmerkovskiy said backstage, not backing down for one second. “I love every professional that’s ever been here and I love every celebrity who puts effort into it every week. Having said that, I’m a little tired that we’re being judged, some on effort and some being picked on [for] heel leads.” Well, that’s some food for thought isn’t it? Earning the third highest score of the night, surprisingly, was Nancy Grace, whose foxtrot to Spamalot’s “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” was a hit. A couple of fan favorites, Rob Kardashian and David Arquette, couldn’t quite match Nance despite the star power they had in the audience cheering them. David got to exercise his inner geeky prom king with a quickstep to “We Go Together” from Grease, to the delight of daughter Coco, but not the judges. He did score a respectable 23, besting Rob by a point. Kim Kardashian , Kris Humphries, Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian would’ve scored him higher. “Give him a 9!” Khloe encouraged from the sidelines after Rob’s Broadway week cha-cha to “Walk Like a Man.” “Dream on, sweetheart,” retorted Len. According to Goodman, at his cantankerous best last night, Rob’s dance managed to have good timing but no rhythm. Sounds contradictory, but oh well. In the bottom tier, Chaz Bono gave what we thought was a decent effort, but the judges did not agree. At 19 points, he’s on the chopping block again. “Not much to say, is there?” Chaz said. “I understand, I’ve been there,” replied Brooke Burke Charvet, who won the whole thing and totally never has. Anyway, here’s a look at Monday’s Dancing With the Stars scores: J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff: 29 Ricki Lake & Derek Hough: 29 Nancy Grace & Tristan MacManus: 24 David Arquette & Kym Johnson: 23 Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke: 22 Hope Solo & Maks Chmerkovskiy: 20 Chaz Bono & Lacey Schwimmer: 19 Who do you think has danced his or her last routine? Do you agree with scores, from top to bottom? Who’s going home on Tuesday’s results show? Comment below, and vote for who you think will win!
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are back for a decadent day at the spa and THG is here, as always, to break down all the drama for you, +/- style! But before we get massaged, tanned, and exfoliated, let’s hit the kitchen with Adrienne and Lisa. Why? Heck if I know. For some unknown reason Lisa is teaching Adrienne how to make a chicken dinner. But I ask again, why does Adrienne need to learn how to do this? She has a personal chef on site and she obviously hates to cook. Minus 5 because seriously, what is the point? She can’t even find the salt and pepper in her own kitchen. Then things get amusing. When Lisa tells her to wash the chicken she uses dish soap to scrub it down. Plus 11 because I can’t stop laughing. It’s just so stupid. Add an additional Plus 7 for the looks poor Bernie is shooting them as these two defile his kitchen. From there we move on to Lisa meeting up with Malcom at his 60,000 square foot palatial estate. Apparently we’ll be seeing one heck of an engagement party here for Pandora next week. Any idea who will be using the commune bed? Minus 6 because I’m pretty sure I don’t want to know how many people have been in that bed, either separately or all at one time. On to the spa day. Is it just me or does Dana Wilkey seem like more of a ditz every time we see her? She simply parrots whatever anyone around her says. Her need to be accepted borders on scary. Adrienne invites everyone to a spa day. Who knew that the spa is in Adrienne’s home? Now I’m truly jealous. Plus 20 . You’d have to drag me out of my own personal spa. I’ll give Adrienne credit, she certainly knows how to spend her money. And did you see all of the goodies her personal chef made for the ladies. I can’t say I need to have edible gold but how do I get an invite to this party? Minus 5 because Kyle is the only person I’ve ever seen go in for a facial in full makeup and come out the same way. Kim’s late to the party. There’s a shock. Minus 7 because I’m not sure she’s capable of arriving anywhere on time. And what was up with Kim and Kyle’s trampoline adventure in their robes. That was just odd. Finally Brandi Glanville arrives and the tension rises. Adrienne tries to play peace maker without much success. She convinces Brandi to apologize but really doesn’t back her friend much when things border on heated. Minus 10 .
Bruce Willis gets along incredibly well with ex-wife Demi Moore. Kelsey and Camille Grammer this formerly married couple is not, as they’ve been known to vacation together with their children and new significant others. These trips have included Ashton Kutcher, of course. Willis and Moore’s latest husband are pals, as evidenced by the 2008 photo below. Or they were pals, at least, prior to Ashton getting his Sara Leal on. “When Bruce found out he flipped,” an insider tells Britain’s Now magazine about Kutcher’s infidelity. “Bruce believes if you mess with someone he loves, you mess with him. He trusted Ashton not to hurt his family and is planning to give him a piece of his mind. When he finally catches up with him it won’t be pretty.” You have seen Die Hard , right, Ashton? What about Die Hard 2 ? Or Die Hard 3 ? Make a run for it, man. [Photo: WENN.com]
Kristen Stewart confirmed what we’ve all been guessing for years now: she is, indeed, getting it on with Robert Pattinson . Now, in equally breaking news regarding this couple, Twilight Saga star Chaske Spencer (werewolf Sam Uley) tells Us Weekly that both halves of Robsten are “very, very down to earth .” Breaking Dawn Movie Trailer What about Taylor Lautner, with whom Spencer shares many scenes? That six-packed stud “is going to make a great action star,” the actor said, adding: “When we first met, I thought, ‘He’s going to be the next Tom Cruise.’ He’s got that edge to him. He’s so talented. He can go anywhere, just like Tom.” Hear that, Oprah’s couch? Look out. You’ll soon have another visitor.
Rumors are circulating that Chris Brown is banned from the UK and thus unable to perform at the Michael Jackson tribute concert in Wales this past weekend. Not so fast. Brown’s rep says his criminal record played no role in his non-appearance and that rumors he was “banned” are simply false. So why didn’t he perform then? He was invited. What got in the way was a simple scheduling conflict. “His previously booked domestic F.A.M.E. tour dates didn’t allow him to accept the honor and therefore he never planned to go to the UK,” said Brown’s rep. The rep reiterated to TMZ a second time that “He was not banned.” Brown spent the weekend performing in Tampa, Charlotte and Virginia Beach, dates that had been scheduled before he was asked to join the Jackson show. In other fake Chris news, Karrueche Tran is not pregnant, either!
At this point, it should really only be news when Kelsey Grammer and Camille Grammer are NOT fighting… The former couple will soon return to court, TMZ reports , because Kelsey would like a judge to prevent Camille from placing their kids in front of any cameras, specifically citing an incident from last week when Camille told her son to tell a reporter that his mom likes to “play” with her children. We’d feel this same way if our parents were Kelsey and Camille Grammer. Of course, the Real Housewife of Beverly Hills is aghast as such a complaint, considering Kelsey dragged both the pair’s young kids to Boa a few days ago, one of Hollywood’s most popular paparazzi hang-outs. We’re impressed, really. Just when we didn’t think these two could suck anymore , they go out of their way to prove us wrong. Tragically, depressingly wrong. [Photo: WENN.com]
The custody battle between Camille and Kelsey Grammer continues to grow uglier than Snooki after a night at the club. Here is the latest: The ex-couple faced off in court today because Kelsey wanted to spend six days with his children in Los Angeles. Camille did not want this to happen because she feared her former husband would not take the kids to their usual activities, such as dancing, sports and, according to TMZ, therapy. A family court judge ruled in the actor’s favor… but added that he can only be in charge of the children if they DO attend said activities. Kelsey’s response? Okay, I’ll go… if Camille does not! Seriously, these people are less mature than their offspring. Camille, however, is a regular attendee at these events and, sources say, has every intention of keeping her schedule. Stay tuned to see how this gets resolved! If you can stomach it. [Photo: WENN.com]
