• 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' get fighting mad in finale

    Brandi Glanville and Kyle Richards have words during the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" post-finale reunion.

    By Ree Hines, TODAY contributor

    It was a night of she-said/she-said on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," as the season wrapped up with one fight after another.

    "I really don't like getting involved when I see other people arguing," Kyle Richards claimed when she spied Faye Resnick giving Brandi Glanville grief at Lisa Vanderpump's party, "but now I see a potentially volatile situation."

    So why not jump right in? Everyone else did -- and how.

    Despite all of the back and forth, there was one moment of peace on the season-ender. Lisa and her husband, Ken Todd, (with their always-present pup Giggy by their side) renewed their vows in a surprisingly fight-free ceremony.

    "I love you, darling," Ken told her. "And whatever I said 30 years ago still stands. I promise to obey you. Again.”

    Aw! But don't let that sweet stuff fool you. The action didn't end there. No sooner had the season wrapped than the first part of the reunion special aired.

    It should come as no surprise to "Housewives" fans to learn that the fights were far from over. In fact, one feud in particular has continued beyond the reunion -- or more accurately, reunions.

    “Lisa has never let go of the fact that I didn’t defend her on the reunion last year,” Kyle told In Touch, referring to Lisa's past blowout with Adrienne Maloof. “I’m still being punished one year later for not jumping in.”


    According to Kyle, she and Lisa haven't spoken since this season's reunion was taped.

    See where the hubbub kicks of next week, when part two of the reunion special airs Monday at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

  • Adrienne Maloof confirms she's leaving 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'

    By Ree Hines, TODAY contributor

    It looks like fans may have a hard time recognizing "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" when the show returns for a fourth season -- and that's not because of any new nips and tucks for members of the cast. The real reason is that some of the familiar faces just won't be there at all.

    Camille Grammer recently revealed that her stint on the show was coming to an end, and now, hot on her heels, fellow "Housewife" Adrienne Maloof has confirmed that she's leaving too.

    "To my loyal fans... It was time to exit RHOBH," Maloof wrote in a post on her website Monday. "The show served as a wonderful platform for all the amazing projects that I have in the works. I am forever grateful to my fans, thank you for your support, and stay tuned! xoxoA"


    Season three of the reality TV hit saw big changes for Maloof. She went through rough times, including her divorce from husband Paul Nassif, numerous tiffs with the other ladies from Beverly Hills and one big blowup with Brandi Glanville.

    According to both E! News and Us Weekly, Maloof did not attend the March 1 taping of the season three reunion special.

    "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

  • Yolanda Foster: 'Beverly Hills' housewife Brandi Glanville should 'just zip it'

    By Randee Dawn, TODAY contributor

    She may be the newest member of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," but that won't keep Yolanda Foster down -- she filmed the show while also battling Lyme disease, and on her first day out of the house, dropped by TODAY to chat with Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford.

    "While I was shooting the show I was really, really sick," she explained, sitting next to her Real Husband of Beverly Hills, Grammy-winning songwriter-producer David Foster. "As I watch myself (on the show) I'm like, 'Ok, girl, get to the point!' Because I had such tremendous brain fog."


    Still, in her role as the show's "voice of reason," she had to deal with the mysterious brain workings of her fellow castmates, most of whom seemed to always have a problem with someone. Take Brandi Glanville's repeated comments about LeAnn Rimes, who is now married to Brandi's ex, Eddie Cibrian. "I think that Brandi would be a lot more powerful if she would just zip it and just walk her walk," said Yolanda. "(But) people tune in because they love to see that (sort of behavior)."

    Despite the drama, David said he could never have told his wife they couldn't make the show, as she's using it as a platform to launch herself and her ideas. "Yolanda has a purpose, she has a goal ... it's a great way to get your name out there," he said. "Could you imagine (me) saying, 'No, you can't'?"

    The pair have been together "7 years almost," said Yolanda, and here's one of the goals she wants to reach: "My goal is I want to piss off all of his ex-wives, because I want to be married to him longer than any of them," she grinned.

    "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

  • Kim and Kyle Richards talk tears, bruises from 'Stars In Danger: The High Dive'

    By Sean Daly, TODAY contributor

    Jordin Althaus / FOX

    Kim (l) and Kyle (r) Richards play in the pool while they train for "Danger."

    Kim Richards admits the only thing more terrifying than competing on “Stars In Danger: The High Dive” was slipping into a swimsuit in the middle of winter.

    “This year, the bathing suit was not my thing,” the newly rehabbed Beverly Hills "Housewife" said. “I have always been comfortable in a bathing suit -- until this year.   Then when I went to treatment (for alcohol addiction), I gained like 40 pounds.”

    Reality star Kim and sister/frenemy Kyle hit the pool along with "Baywatch" alums David Chokachi and Alexandra Paul, Jenni "JWoww" Farley from “Jersey Shore”, NFL star Terrell Owens,  actor Antonio Sabato Jr. and “soul surfer” Bethany Hamilton for the two-hour Fox special.

    The not-quite-ready for prime-time divers were mentored by seasoned pros as they prepared to compete in individual and synchronized events.

    “This is one of the biggest challenges I have ever been faced with,” Kim said, “other than, well... (rehab).”

    The Clicker caught up with both sisters Tuesday in Los Angeles to learn more about their dramatic aquatic experience.

    Q:  You both appear to be in one piece. Any injuries?

    Kim:  I had big bruises all over my leg.

    Kyle:  David had a black eye -- and not from the diving board.  This is all water impact.  There was one concussion.  And (the producers) are like “you’ll be fine.”  Every one of the cast members -- at least the women -- were crying at some point.  

    Kim: I don’t think I would have gotten through without any scrapes or bruises.

    Kyle:  I was bruised mentally.

    Q:  Did you guys have sister squabbles in the pool?

    Kyle:  No, this was so much better (than ‘Housewives.’).  There was no drama.  We were supporting each other.  Really happy to be there for each other.  We were laughing with each other, teasing each other.  

    Kim:  We cried so hard and we laughed so hard.  It was really an emotional challenge.

    Q:  So you had no diving experience at all?

    Kyle:  Nine of us come together and we start from scratch.  Day one was just trying to get up to the diving board!  Each day, you are hoping to make progress.  We were cramming what these Olympians took years to learn into a little tiny window.

    Q:  What did your friends and family think?

    Kyle:  My friend said to me “You couldn’t just do Dancing with the Stars?”

    Q:  One of your competitors, Bethany Hamilton, only has one arm.  Did you ever think, “I have to at least be able to beat her?”


    Kyle:  Let me tell you something.  She is one of the most brave and inspirational girls I have ever met in my entire life.  When I was so scared to get on the diving board, because I am afraid of heights, they would say to me ‘Look at Bethany.  Look at her go.’  The woman was attacked by a shark and was swimming three weeks later.  She is one of the most brave people I have ever met in my life.  She is an incredible athlete.  Put my sister up there.  We are cut from the same cloth.  If she can do it, we can talk.

    Q:  Are these the types of opportunities that are coming to you now?  Are you up for anything?

    Kim:  I am sure we will be getting a lot of these type of challenges.  

    Q:  Where do you hope the "Housewives" shows take you next.

    Kyle:  We both have kids.  I have little ones still.  Being a mom and a wife is my number one priority.  The show and all that other stuff falls way underneath it. I also just opened my store (Kyle by Alene Too) in Beverly Hills. I am still acting.  I just did 'CSI.'  There are a lot of balls in the air.  A lot of good opportunities have come with doing ‘Housewives.’  But there is also a lot of drawbacks.

    Q:  You are going to keep doing it a little while longer?

    Kyle:  Don’t ask me today.  We are under contract, so we’ll see where that goes.

    Kim:  I just take it on a day to day, minute by minute.   My biggest passion in my life -- besides life -- is my jewelry.  I love my jewelry.  My passion is my jewelry.  I might have a few other things up my sleeve -- more like hobby passions.

    Q:  Kim, did it take you a while to be at peace with how much of your personal life was exposed on ‘Housewives?’ 

    Kim:   It was really how much I wanted to let go of my own life to everyone.  I am a very private person, but I am also a public person. So it is how much I decided to just surrender to everyone.  I think it was really just a matter or when I decided to give it all up and say 'It is what it is.'  I wear my heart on my sleeve.  And you know what?  Since I decided to give my sobriety up and go down season two, out there, and let everybody see that and going into treatment. ... When I decided to come back and do my entire sobriety this season, I decided, I might as well just let everybody have it all.  I have really nothing to hide.  There is nothing really bad in my life.  And everybody has been so supportive.

    Q:  Is “Skydiving with the Stars” next?

    Kim:  Nothing with heights.

    Kyle:  Nothing could persuade me to try skydiving.

    "Stars In Danger: The High Dive" airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. on FOX.

  • Brandi Glanville walks out on 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'

    Bravo

    Brandi Glanville on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

    By Anna Chan, TODAY

    Fans of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" are going to be treated to yet another dinner party from hell on Monday night. In a clip from the new episode that Bravo is sharing exclusively with The Clicker, Kyle Richards' friend Faye Resnick and Brandi Glanville get into a tiff over Brandi's (censored) revelation about fellow "Housewife" Adrienne Maloof on the Dec. 10 episode.

    When Faye insists during a gathering at Kyle's house that Brandi isn't sorry about the situation with Adrienne because she won't send flowers as an apology, Brandi calmly -- surprisingly -- defends herself.

    "I'm sorry, but it's not your business -- excuse me, but it's not," she tells Faye, trying to put an end to the discussion.

    But when Kyle's friend Marisa steps up to defend Brandi, Faye -- who also participated in the infamous dinner party fight at Camille Grammer's home in season one -- lets loose by dredging up old dirt and accusing the model of "viciously" attacking people.

    Rather than stay and fight, Brandi walks out of the dinner party.

    Watch our exclusive clip:

    Brandi herself has admitted that she didn't handle the situation with Adrienne very well. "Watched Mondays episode,I kind of come off as an (expletive) but PLEASE read my blog so u understand why!I dont fully get2 explain myself on ep!" she tweeted. She went  on to confess in her blog that she "said something (she) shouldn't have said."


    But not everyone is totally Team Adrienne. New "Housewife" Yolanda Foster wrote in her latest Bravo blog that "Brandi said things in the heat of the moment that were very hurtful and wrong, but instead of the appropriate apologies being accepted by Adrienne and moving forward, these issues were taken to a whole new level. Adrienne chooses a intimidating and hostile way of communication, one that I have never experienced or witnessed in my life and to be honest --- way out of my comfort zone."

    "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" airs at 9 p.m. Monday on Bravo.

  • Camille Grammer: 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' is filled with 'even more drama and fighting'

    Joe Pugliese / Bravo

    Camille Grammer is back for another season of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

    By Susan Hornik, TODAY contributor

    Camille Grammer may have a smaller role this upcoming season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” but she knows all about the drama that goes down.

    “I am not sure how much I am in it,” she admitted to The Clicker of season three. “I definitely filmed a lot though, during the various events. You just never know how they are going to edit it.”

    Even though Camille may not be featured as much as her co-stars new and old, she teased that season three is filled with “even more drama and fighting.”

    With two new "Housewives" in the mix, the increased level of bickering may not be a huge surprise. Joining regulars Lisa Vanderpump, Adrienne Maloof, Taylor Armstrong, Brandi Glanville, and sisters Kim and Kyle Richards this season will be Yolanda H. Foster, a former model and wife of Grammy-winning songwriter David Foster; and real-estate agent Marisa Zanuck, wife of movie producer Dean Zanuck. (That’s right, no Dana Wilkey or her $25,000 shades this season.)

    “With the (other women), it’s interesting to see how different alliances form. Friendships change and morph,” Camille told us. “Certain friendships really dissipate while others start. All of that really surprised me. It always does ... truly. But this time, it’s really shocking. Personally, I have no trouble with anyone. I love all the girls, I really do.”

    Since the show launched, each season has been immersed in divorce – both on-screen and off. Camille and ex-hubby Kelsey Grammer’s marriage fell apart in season one. And in season two, viewers watched Taylor’s union disintegrate further while knowing that even before the season aired,  her husband, Russell, committed suicide.

    But don’t expect "RHOBH" stars Adrienne and Paul Nassif, who recently separated, to also reveal the drama of their split in season three.

    “You are not going to see anything about their divorce,” Camille said. “Adrienne is private. I really feel for her. I went through this during the whole first season. I just want her to stay strong. She is a great mom and is really there for her children.”

    As far as love lives go, viewers will likely get to meet Camille's boyfriend. "I think you will see me with my boyfriend," she told us. "He's a really great guy.

    Camille also teased that she may return to the show full time next season.


    “The producers and I kicked the idea around. Maybe ... it all depends. We will see how this season gets unveiled," she said. "It’s always a mutual agreement between myself, the producers and other cast members.”

    She also has aspirations to host a reality TV series. “I have shot a couple of pilot presentations for different production companies," Camille said. "I would love to get into hosting! And I love to do something with my kids. But we will see what happens!”

    Season three of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" premieres Monday, Nov. 5 at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

  • LeAnn Rimes sues over 'secretly' taped conversations, cyber-bullying

    LeAnn Rimes and husband Eddie Cibrian.

    By Brandi Fowler and Claudia Rosenbaum, E! Online

    This has been quite the week for LeAnn Rimes. After celebrating her 30th birthday Tuesday and promptly checking into rehab the next day, the country crooner filed a lawsuit Thursday against two women who allegedly "secretly" recorded one of her telephone conversations.

    Perhaps this had something to do with Rimes' "stress and anxiety" issues.

    LeAnn Rimes tweets sexy bikini pic after root canal

    Eddie Cibrian's wife filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against Kimberly and Lexi Smiley and other individuals (whose names she has yet to uncover), for invasion of privacy, claiming they have orchestrated a "campaign of harassment" against her since she began dating her "Good Deeds" star hubby. 

    According to the complaint, Rimes alleges that the individuals secretly recorded a private telephone conversation without her knowledge or consent and then "conspired to spitefully ensure that out of context excepts of that recording would be disseminated to the public on various websites ... in an effort to portray Ms. Rimes in an egregious false and negative light and cause her emotional distress." 

    The suit states Rimes has put up with their "campaign of harassment in the hope they would tire of posting false and defamatory statements," but the "outrageous conduct" has only been escalating and Rimes "can no longer merely hope" the behavior will stop.

    Rimes said she has been the target of an "increasingly aggressive internet campaign by supporters of her husband Eddie Cibrian's first wife, 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Brandi Glanville." Rimes believes the individuals she is suing are behind this campaign which started when she began dating Cibrian. 

    View the documents


    In Spring 2012, a friend of the defendants encouraged Rimes to talk to the Smileys in an attempt to end the negative Internet activity. Rimes spoke to them on the phone, but did not know she was being taped. 

    The recording was later posted on "hate" blogs such as Celebitchy.com and CrazyDaysAndNights.com, among others. Rimes states the posting has "harmed her reputation and personal relationships and have caused her emotional distress."

    Take a look at these celeb court appearances!

    Rimes is asking for an injunction against the individuals to prevent them from disseminating the tape, as well as compensatory, punitive and other damages.

  • 'Housewife' Taylor Armstrong has advice for Rihanna, Chris Brown

    In the new issue of Life & Style magazine, Taylor Armstrong offers some advice to Rihanna and Chris Brown.

    By Ree Hines, TODAY contributor

    "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Taylor Armstrong is no stranger to the topic of domestic violence. She's discussed the alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of her late husband, Russell Armstrong, on her reality show. She's even written about it in her book, "Hiding from Reality." Now she hopes her experience might lead others to listen to her advice and warnings -- specifically, a couple of very famous "others."

    In a new interview with Life & Style Weekly, Armstrong discussed singer Rihanna's recent choice to work with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown three years after he attacked her, and how she thinks the former couple should handle things now.

    "I hope they'll make a statement about what transpired over the past three years that makes it safe for them to be around each other now," Armstrong said. "If someone has slapped you, shoved you or pushed you, things will always escalate. They don't get better -- they get worse -- unless some type of intervention is done via therapy or separation."


    And Armstrong believes Brown, in particular, needs to "be a man" and speak up about that now.

    "He needs to come out and say, 'I did something really wrong, and let me tell you what I've done since then to be a better person," she insisted. "This is a real opportunity for him to step up and be a man."
