Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Tonight was the premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and my verdict? Fantastic!

From the opening credits to the (literal) closing arguments, the latest installment of Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise came out hard tonight with enough bling to blind the strongest pair of eyes for decades. Like I said in my meet and greet articles on the Housewives, these women probably don’t know the phrases “foreclosure” or “sex tape.” There isn’t a hidden book that could reveal a sordid past. They’re the names Bravo have been looking for, and by God they have struck gold!

Tonight’s premiere was mostly introductory, but quickly gave us some tidbits of drama to whet our appetites for what’s to come. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights of the premiere.

The Housewives

Adrienne and Lisa are the two women who stood out the most to me tonight. Not saying that the other women aren’t fun to watch, but Lisa’s complete dissing of her husband for her gay trainer Cedric and her pup Giggy is classic TV in the making. Adrienne dropping that kid immediately won me over beside the fact that she owns the Palms, which is on my bucket list of places to visit before I die.

Watching Camille Grammer interact with Kelsey Grammer was kind of awkward, knowing what’s to come for them. Other than that, I’m sending my resume to Camille to be the next nanny for her kids, because they make $50,000 – $65,000 dollars a year. And she has four nannies. I think she could have five.

As for Taylor, I’m scared she might be in the same boat as Camille in terms of faltering marriages. Finding out through a press The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills 1.01 Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Wealthiness Review release from your husband’s company that he dumped $10 million into some other woman’s film studio could be a sign of a problematic marriage. Taylor’s way of dealing? Botox injections. In abundance. That was the most disturbing scene yet in a Housewives show involving botox, but they do say you have to bleed to be beautiful. They can keep that.

The Richards sisters will definitely have majority of the drama on the show. You wouldn’t think that Kim is the older of the two by the way Kyle talks to and treats her. Kim’s isolation rubs the other women the wrong way, as we saw with Taylor, who was already not feeling her. Kyle’s brash nature will give her the title of the West Coast Bethenny Frankel. It doesn’t surprise me that the two are close friends.

The Husbands

The guys behind these women got more screen time than any of their counterparts, except Taylor’s husband, who only showed how much of a potential weasel he might be.

Kudos to Kelsey Grammer for not being a stuck up snob by taking time out to be interviewed for the show. While some of the other women think that Camille hides behind Kelsey’s fame, Kelsey declares that this show will help Camille shine for once. Oh how sad it’s going to be to see the Grammers’ marriage crumble on screen…

Ken Todd’s only worry is that Cedric is a legitimate gay man, which I’m sure he is, but he does hang with Lisa a bit much. I’m shocked that he even let the guy stay on their property rent free. Only in Beverly Hills. Dr. Paul Nassif seems to channel some Joe Giuidice, but not too much…which is a good thing. He seems to be my favorite Househusband so far, because he and Adrienne’s marriage could easily be a sitcom. Finally, we have Kyle’s husband Mauricio Umansky, who contradicted Kyle by saying that she had a spending problem after Kyle blasted Kim for the same thing. He must’ve seen what Joe “Meatball” Giudice went through and put the brakes on Kyle’s shopping habit really quick.

Verdict

This installment of the ever growing Housewives franchise is a keeper. It completely made me forget that the Real Housewives of D.C. Reunion had just ended. Beverly Hills, we welcome you with open arms.

She became known for her starring roles in Bye, Bye Birdie, Viva Las Vegas, Cincinnati Kid, Carnal Knowledge, and Tommy. Her later career included character roles in grumpy old men, Every Sunday, Santa Claus 3, The Break-Up. She won five Golden Globe Awards and was nominated for two Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Award and six Emmy Awards. August 21, 2010 she received her first Emmy for her guest appearance on Law and Horde .
Ann-Margret was born in Stockholm, the daughter of Anna (née Aronsson) and Gustav Olsson, a native of Örnsköldsvik. Although young, she moved with her parents in Valsjöbyn, Jämtlands län, which she later described as a small town “lumberjacks and farmers high near the Arctic Circle. Her father worked in the United States during his youth and moved back again in 1942, working with Johnson Electric Company, while his wife and daughter remained.

Ann-Margret and her mother moved to the U.S. in November 1946, and her father took her to Radio City Music Hall on the day they arrived. They settled near Chicago in Wilmette, Illinois. She became a naturalized United States citizen in 1949 and took her first lessons in dance at the Marjorie Young School of Dance, shows natural ability from the outset, it is easy to simulate all stages. Her parents were supportive, and her mother hand-made all her costumes. Mother Ann-Margret was the funeral parlor reception  after her husband suffered a severe injury to his work.  While a teenager, Ann-Margret appeared on the Morris B. Sachs Amateur Hour, Don McNeill’s Breakfast Club and Ted Mack’s Amateur Hour.

In high school, where she graduated from New Trier High School in Winnetka, Illinois, she continued acting in plays and she attended Northwestern University, where she was a member of the sorority Kappa Alpha Theta but not finished.

George Burns had heard about her performance, she auditioned for his annual holiday show in which she and Burns did a soft shoe routine. Variety declared: “George Burns, a gold mine in Ann-Margret … she has a certain style of its own, which can easily send it to star status.”

Reid Angle Debate

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Republican challenger, Sharron Angle, met in a debate in Las Vegas that featured an exchange of personal attacks.

The rivals employed different strategies, the Las Vegas Sun reported. Angle frequently addressed Reid by his first name -- "Man up, Harry Reid," she told him at one point. Reid was often scathing about Angle but never looked directly at her or mentioned her name.

Organizers of the debate at the PBS studio used four coin tosses to decide the details. Angle won all four and chose to stand stage right and to let Reid give the first opening statement and answer the first question, while reserving the final closing for herself.

While Reid accused his "opponent" of lying and holding extremist views, he also tried to spend time on substantive issues.

One of the most divisive was health care reform or, as Angle put it, "Obamacare," which she would like to repeal. Reid kept coming back to the subject, seeking to explain the healthcare plan and his views.

At one point, Angle asked Reid to explain how he became wealthy while a member of the Senate. Reid called that "a low blow" and said everyone knows he made his money as a successful lawyer.

NC 17 Rating

The Weinstein Company will be appealing the MPAA's decision to slap Blue Valentine  with an NC-17 rating. The NC-17 rating is basically the kiss of death as no one under 17 can see the film, obviously, and more importantly some theater chains won't even screen movies with that rating. The TWC hopes they can present a convincing argument as to why it should be changed to an R rating when they meet with MPAA representatives in November.

"We are taking every possible step to contest the MPAA's decision," stated Harvey Weinstein in a statement on the rating. "We respect the work of the MPAA and we hope, after having a chance to sit down with them, they will see that our appeal is reasonable, and the film, which is an honest and personal portrait of a relationship, would be significantly harmed by such a rating."

The scene that earned the film the NC-17 rating involved a married couple (played by Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams) having drunken sex in a hotel room. The MPAA has been widely criticized in the past for its process of rating films. It's incredible to me that films with graphic scenes of mutilations, gory violence, etc can earn R ratings, while anything sexual or with nudity earns an NC-17. There's something seriously wrong with the system used to judge what's suitable for audiences.

TWC picked up the film following its successful showing at the Sundance Film Festival. TWC is releasing Blue Valentine, which has been generating some awards buzz, on December 31, 2010.

Kim Richards

Former child star Kim Richards, who is getting ready to try her luck in the reality TV, met her niece Paris Hilton before she agreed to share her life with the world on the hit reality show, ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’. Hilton told her simply “to be yourself” and everything would remain the same.

The Simple Life celebutante was fearless on the show and she was not worried about what people think about her and Richards said the same. But Real Housewives is like this only. People come on the show with an aim not to reveal too much about themselves but they end up revealing more than warranted.

“In the beginning, I said, ‘I don’t care what anybody thinks – I am who I am,’ ” Richards says. “But then, when some of the drama and conflict and humiliation and embarrassing moments came up, I thought, ‘Oh, my gosh, what have I done?’

“When push comes to shove, there were moments that I just thought, ‘Oh, I wish people just didn’t see that. I wish we could redo that. I wish I could take that back.’ But you can’t.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premieres tonight and you never know that you will new a side of Richards on the show. First, the show will talk about Richards’ early stardom in TV’s Nanny and the Professor and in Disney’s Escape to Witch Mountain. Then the show will proceed and show Richards, now in her mid-40s. Then she will be shown as a flake, who does not think twice about spending money.

Camille Grammer

Camille Grammer says becoming a new member of Bravo’s “Real Housewives” franchise has helped her through her divorce from “Frasier” star Kelsey Grammer.

Camille Grammer, who stars in “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” filed for divorce in July, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The couple had been married for 13 years and have two children, 9-year-old daughter Mason and 6-year-old son Jude.

“I’m glad that I decided to do the show because it’s been a diversion,” the 42-year-old former Playboy model said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I have these wonderful, five very strong, successful women right there supporting me through this.”

In the season premiere, which airs Thursday, Kelsey Grammer is seen leaving for New York to star in Broadway’s “La Cage aux Folles.” His ex-wife says at the time she had no idea divorce was on the horizon and was preparing to relocate her family to New York.

“It was hard for me. It definitely brought a tear to my eye,” she said of seeing the first episode. “… I think I give him a kiss (goodbye) and I say ‘I love him.’ I was supposed to move in that summer.”

Watching the episode was also an emotional experience for her fellow housewives.

“You were totally blindsided,” said castmate Lisa Vanderpump. “It was hard to watch for us as well. It gives me goosebumps thinking about it.”

Vanderpump, a British restaurant owner and mother of two, says Grammer’s divorce brought the women closer together.

“It was tough for her, very tough. … You’re not just opening the gates to your house, you’re opening the gates to your heart, your life,” Vanderpump said. “And it’s like an express train, sometimes things kind of run away with you.”

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET.

Kelsey Grammer Divorce

We’ve seen a lot of drama courtesy of The Real Housewives.  The premiere season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills gives us the first up-close-and-personal view of a celebrity couple divorce done in reality TV glory.

Camille Grammer, the soon-to-be ex-wife of actor Kelsey Grammer, is featured on the new Bravo TV show and credits the reality show with helping her through the meltdown of her marriage.

The couple were married for thirteen years before Camille filed for divorce in July.  They have two children - 9-year-old daughter Mason and 6-year-old son Jude.

What does Camille think of having her marriage disintegrate on reality tv?



“I’m glad that I decided to do the show because it’s been a diversion,” Camille tells The Associated Press. “I have these wonderful, five very strong, successful women right there supporting me through this.”

The show may have been a contributing factor in the breakdown of their marriage.  It is rumored that Kelsey wasn’t a fan of her joining the show.   Camille describes herself as ‘the powerhouse behind Kelsey Grammer’.

The season premiere shows Kelsey leaving his wife in Beverly Hills to head to New York to star in a Broadway show.  Camille and the children were set to follow him cross country over the summer before the couple decided to call it quits.

“It was hard for me. It definitely brought a tear to my eye,” Camille says of the premiere. “I think I give him a kiss (goodbye) and I say ‘I love him.’ I was supposed to move in that summer.”

It turned out to be a very busy summer for Kelsey as his wife filed for divorce and weeks later it was announced that he was expecting a baby with his 20-something girlfriend (she subsequently suffered a miscarriage).

What do you think of watching Kelsey and Camille’s marriage crumble on reality tv?

Wong Mew Choo vs Saina Nehwal

Saina Nehwal is the new trend setter in Indian sports as the badminton player has been setting new benchmarks in the ongoing Commonwealth Games in New Delhi. She only stands one step shy of another achievement.

Saina is set to become the first ever Indian shuttler to win gold at the Commonwealth Games when she pits her wits against world number one Wong Mew Choo from Malaysia in the finals of the women’s singles later today.

Ranked as the world's third best player, Saina is the overwhelming favourite for today's match as she boasts of a super impressive record of 4-0 against Wong in head-to-head matches.

For a player who has won back-to-back titles in Chennai, Singapore and Indonesia, perhaps this is a purple patch for her. It seems as if the Indian badminton player is riding a wave-crest that has seen her demolish all her opponents at the CWG in New Delhi so far.

But in the semi-finals of the competition, Saina was given a scare by world number 19 as she stretched Nehwal to 3 games in the team event. Nevertheless, Saina is confident before the final and will be backed by a vociferous crown in Delhi later today.

Wong is also confident ahead of the match despite not having the home advantage who opined that although the home crowd will play its part in the game, the fact that she ran Saina very close in the team event gives her a moral boost ahead of the all important clash today. Wong hopes that it will be her day today after 4 straight defeats at the hands of the world number 3.

Wong won the 2009 Super Series Master and is best known for her remarkable endurance and exceptional stamina.

Both participants of the final rely on their rallies and net game and it will be very hard to draw the line between them.

Perhaps it will come down to the grit and determination only which may decide today's winner. Saina will give it her best shot as she is aware of her opponent’s strengths and is confident of finding a way around her opponent once again.

Saina has already beaten Wong on four occasions this year - at the Asian Championships in April, at the final of Indian Open, in the first round of Singapore Super Series Masters and most recently at the team event in the Commonwealth Games, New Delhi.

But Saina will be aware of her jinx while playing in India as she has never won a major title on home soil. However, she will be hoping to break this run as she vying for gold at the CWG.

Perhaps it is the pressure of the home crowd that plays on her nerves as it was evident at the 2009 World Championships in Hyderabad when she lost in the quarter-finals of the competition.

Today, she gets her shot at redemption. However, her opponent is not going to be a pushover as Wong is seeking a revenge for 4 straight defeats against the Indian hotshot.

Ahead of this match, Saina claimed that this will be the biggest match of her career. She also emphasized that she will not be under any pressure while playing in front of her home crowd and will not let anything get the better of her in today’s match.

Saina has also said that falling at the final hurdle will be a disappointment of the highest order and anything less than a win will never be satisfying.

Saina has said that there is little drift inside the hall, where the game will be played but she is used to it now and can even use it to her advantage against the Malaysian.

Proton Malaysia Proton Inspira Car

SUBANG: National carmaker Proton Holdings Bhd will release its new model, the Inspira, which will be cruising down Malaysian roads from Nov 10.

Deriving its name from the Bahasa Malaysia word “inspirasi” (inspiration), Proton said that the 1.8-litre model will be priced at RM79,880 while its 2.0-litre counterpart at RM95,000.

However, Proton said that these prices were still “tentative”, and may be subject to change when the the car is officially unveiled.

The car was launched today at Proton's Centre of Service Excellence. The car's full body was not completely revealed. Only the front portion of the car was displayed.

Proton Holdings managing director Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamad Tahir said that the car was the product of an “old revisit” with the Mitsubishi Manufacturing Corporation (MMC).

Proton also announced that it would stop churning out its Waja model after 10 years of production. However, Syed Zainal said that the Inspira was not meant to fill the vacuum left by the omission of the Waja.

“When you change your lifestyle, you want to change your car to a better one, so we need to offer a better car,” said Syed Zainal.

“Proton will continue to evolve. Customers will grow in terms of demand, their pockets will grow bigger and they will want to live a better lifestyle.”

Syed Zainal also said that the Inspira was a localised version of the Mitsubishi Lancer, and was built according to Malaysian expectations.

Lancer owners concerned

Prior to the car's soft launch, many expressed scepticism with the Inspira. In various discussion forums over the Internet, they argued that the car's make is no different from the Lancer.

Lancer owners are also concerned that the Proton Inspira will affect the after-sales value of their cars, devaluing it in the process.

It is a sentiment that Syed Zanial does not agree with, although he declined to comment on the observations.

"It's not for me to answer. I will let Mitsubishi answer that," he said, adding that it was a win-win situation for all parties involved.

Syed Zainal also expects to launch the Inspira to other markets in the region, but said that Proton would concentrate on stabilising it three to six months after its initial release.

He hoped to see sales of 1,600 units a month, saying it was a realistic expection.

He said that Proton's collaboration with Mitsubishi in designing the Inspira was cheaper than with other OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) in the market.

He added that that Proton spent less than RM350 million in developing the car, or half that of normal car models.

The Inspira is open for booking at a RM1,000 deposit from today until Nov 15. Those who place their orders during this period would enjoy a two-year servicing package for free.

Commonwealth Games 2010 Badminton Singapore Victory

Bronze Medal day in Delhi had local interest as well as a rematch from the 2006 games, as an all-Indian Mens singles match topped the bill for the locals. Chetan Anand was the higher of the seeds, but it was fellow Indian Kashrup Parupalli who took bronze in the mens singles, with a 21-15, 21-18 victory in 39 minutes.

The women’s singles, was a rematch of the 2006 bronze medal match from Melbourne. However the result in 2010 was a reversal of four years previously as Liz Cann of England defeated Susan Egelstaff of Scotland in two games, with the Scot leading in both games but it unable to take a off Cann, who ended up winning 21-18, 21-16 in 36 minutes.

There was a guaranteed bronze in the men’s doubles for Singapore, as Sauptra and Wijaya defeated team-mates Triyachart and Wong in two games, winning 23-21, 21-12 in 29 minutes. Chayut Triyachart however, did come away with a bronze medal from the mixed doubles as him and partner Lei Yao defeated Malaysia’s Chan and Goh in a 51 minute, three game match which they won 21-14, 17-21, 21-17.

The fifth medal of the day went to Australia as He Tian Tang and Kate Wilson-Smith defeated England’s Gabrielle White and Jenny Wallwork in the women’s doubles bronze medal match. The longest match of the day was won by the Australians 21-23, 21-12, 21-16 in 64 minutes. However, Wallwork has already won at least silver in the mixed doubles when she takes to the court tomorrow.

Antm Cycle 15 Episode 6 Complete Review

Previously on America’s Next Top Model, Ann made ANTM history by getting top photo for a fourth straight time. The Girl With The Littlest Waist has stolen Tyrant’s heart almost as much as Lisbeth Salander has taken over Sweden. I didn’t think she actually deserved the win, but you know Tyrant! All about storylines, not so much about credibility. Kayla should’ve won that round. Maybe Tyrant just doesn’t like lesbians. Just kidding! No hate mail. Gawd. Relax. Can Ann do it again? Will one of the other girls rise to her level? Will Tyrant say something stupid? Duh. Who will be eliminated tonight?

We begin this week with the wannabes driving back to the house. Someone comments that Ann is the last of the “quirkies”. Hmmm… interesting. I hadn’t thought of the eliminations that way. I guess slutty doesn’t count as quirky. I’m looking at you Kacey! Then Ann gets a little teary in a confessional. Awww. Cute. She’s really proud of her achievement and feels like she’s actually pretty and not just the gangly one in the back of the class. I know how you feel girl. I know how you feel. It wasn’t until my own model breakthrough that I truly accepted my hotness. It was tough. I got through it though.


That night, the girls all received CoverGirl packs and got split into groups. Gotta love CoverGirl. It takes a whole minute to spell out a product name. SmokeyEyeLookKitsAndLastingColourHighShineDuoPacks. Riiiiight. Team 1 is Ann, Kendal, and Jane. Team 2 is Kacey, Kayla, and Ester. Team 3 is Chelsey, Liz, and Chris. The teams meet Nigel at WalMart (so classy) to show the public what it means to be a CoverGirl. Did anyone else notice how bad Nigel’s recorded voiceover was? Terrible. God thing he’s still hot after all these years.

Fashion journalist Derek Blasberg secretly observed the girls’ presentations and delivered the feedback. The public also got to have their say. Ann was too quiet and uncomfortable. Kayla and Kacey got some good feedback. Chris was overpowering. Chelsey was run over by Chris. Ultimately, Ann got the LOWEST score. Kacey got the HIGHEST score and Team 2 won it all.

The next morning, the girls meet Mr. Jay on Rodeo Drive for “one of the most prestigious photo shoots in Top Model history.” Should be interesting. Beloved fashion stylist Lori Goldstein is on hand to work with famed photographer Patrick DeMarchelier. That’s actually pretty amazing. The girls will be working in pairs with a male model doing some hot group walking down the street. I love it. Chelsey is really nervous about getting paired up with Ann.
Jane & Kacey

Kacey actually had really nice things to say about Jane. She thinks Miss Big Jaw is gorgeous. I agree. Kacey to me seems more commercial than high fashion. Mr. Jay thought she fell flat this week. Patrick actually thought Jane was too commercial. But his concerns do not match this photo. She looks STUNNING. ALT is enthralled and calls her a French supermodel. Kacey just looks pissed.
Jane

Superb. ALT and Nigel agree on this one. I love it. I knew she had it in her. I’ve been rooting for her all Cycle and I’m glad she found her stride. Punny!
Kacey

Her body language is good. It looks natural, but you wouldn’t even know it’s her because she didn’t connect her face to the camera at all.
Chelsey & Ann

Chelsey was nervous about posing with Ann and it seemed to show. She was really intimidated by Patrick. Mr. Jay said Ann looked tight on set. She was really awkward with her skipping too. Nigel actually thinks this is the best overall group photo because they work as a team. I actually think Chelsey edged out Ann a bit on this one. The hair and the gap tooth with the eye contact… love. Ann’s nostrils look a little odd.
Chelsey

I really like her body in this shot and the judges agree. She lost a bit of control in her face though. Overall… a better week for Chelsey. I also like that they didn’t cover up her freckles this week.
Ann

I’ll just let ALT do the talking… “BEEEYOND. Beyond EVERYTHING ever!” Well… it’s good, her face is AMAZING, but the body is still a little too awkward for this style of shoot.
Esther & Kayla

Kayla was really struggling with keeping pretty face because her shoes were too small and her feet were in a lot of pain. Patrick seemed to like Esther. They both took very different approaches to this photo. Esther is engaging the scene and Kayla is going for the camera. I think they both look pretty, but Esther did a better job of making it work.
Esther

ALT thinks it is a great fashion picture because there is a lot of stuff being sold. I think she did a good job but the boots make her look oddly proportioned.
Kayla

Nigel thought it was awkward. ALT thought it worked. Not her best work, but she should be safe.
Kendal & Liz

Kendal was loving this photo shoot. She loved the attention and Mr. Jay said she was given SJPSATC vibes. He was worried about Liz though who seemed to disappear. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that she was styled like a little BOY! But as far as the photo goes I think Liz actually looks better than Kendal. Her faux fur thing just isn’t working with the palm trees and sunshine. They both look pretty, but I’m not wowed.
Kendal

This is a great shot. Her ass looks a little big in that outfit, but the movement is great. ALT thought it was FABulous. Patrick appreciated that her face was in control.
Liz

Nigel didn’t like this one at all and I have to agree. There is nothing authentic about this photo. It is way too posed, stiff, and blah. Next!
Chris

Mr. Jay and the gang thought she was really grounded and realistic in the scene. She had some pretty wicked shoes on too. Tyrant liked her shot with the male model, but ALT didn’t feel the zing. I think it’s too sweet.
Chris

Her individual shot was just average for me. The judges were pretty blah on it too.

Hidden Street Is Street Art dead

Is Street Art dead? Is it too early to mourn? Too late to cry? Peep the commentary from High Snobiety below.

The good folks at SuperTouch weren’t too far off when they mentioned the lack of dynamism over at ArtNews. It is, for lack of better phrasing, the old guard of contemporary art. However, and perhaps for the best (worst?), they’ve come around to the Street Art Movement. “Street Art Gets Hot!” reads November’s cover. Yes, we already knew that. Yes, the proclimation from this publication is like a nail in the coffin of hip and cool.

Negativity aside, the keynote article by Caroline Miranda, A Two Way Street, properly and succenctly presents the core issues surrounding Street Art and its progression within the mainstream art world. For those interested in the constant debates over definition and the arguments over mass market presentation of artists like Swoon, Miranda’s essay is a worthy read. And, surely, like us you’ll see some merit in a piece that is not without fault. (And, there are no excuses to miss it, it’s free online).
