Posted in lawsuit, Mohamed Hadid, News, Sylvester Stallone
Here is a court case I so want to see televised…Lisa’s Vanderpump’s buddy Mohamed Hadid is being sued by Sylvester Stallone. Sly’s case is basically that Mohamed is a crappy contractor and he messed up his house. He’s suing for $1.4 million in damages.
Mohamed has filed for a temporary restraining order against Sly saying that he has threatened his life and pushed him. Continue reading »

This episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is going to be fabulous if for no other reason than it is Adrienne Maloof’s last episode! I love Yolanda. Jennifer goes and drags Marisa back over to Brandi and Yolanda (and Lisa) to finish the conversation. Brandi tells Marisa that rather than putting her husband down by telling the entire world she wants to sleep with someone new, they should both give each other a hall pass. Lisa looks physically ill but she makes Marisa tell Brandi who said she would sleep with married men (It was Faye). Yolanda gives Marisa a lecture on trash talking your friends in front of others and the conflab is finally over.
Linda Foster and Taylor are besties. Taylor tells her that it has been hard for her be nice to Yolanda and she cries and asks Linda if it is okay with her being friends with Yolanda. Linda says she is fine with it. Meanwhile, Lisa has cornered Faye and Faye says that Lisa uses Brandi to get back at Adrienne. Lisa sets her straight on that with no effort whatsoever so Faye changes tack to say that Lisa defends her and brings up the infamous bathroom sex at the white party. Lisa was the one to walk into the bathroom and pull Brandi out so she would not stay in there making out. That was all that happened. Interestingly, Faye has the tabloid version. It would seem that Faye is the mouthpiece for Kyle AND Adrienne. Faye then makes the exact same chess reference that Kyle made on last season’s reunion. I would imagine if you held a gun to Faye and Kyle’s heads, neither of them could tell you the first thing about how to play chess. Interesting they both use a chess analogy though, right? Lisa in her talking head says, “Checkmate, bitch!” This scene is hilarious. Kyle jumps up to intervene while saying in her talking head, “I really don’t like getting in other people’s battles.” Enough airtime for Faye, let’s move on to Ken and Lisa! Or at least watch Adrienne cry. Continue reading »

YAY! It’s time for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I believe this is the finale. Which sucks because RHOBH is my favorite these days. Lisa is getting ready for her vow renewal. Lisa and Brandi are going to get massages and dish on Adrienne. Adrienne is having another one of her sponsored parties that she gets paid for. Lisa was invited and Brandi wasn’t. They’ve decided to hang out in Lisa’s beautiful yard for the day. The massage guy does feet. I hate the ones that skip your feet. Whenever I am in NYC the most important thing to do is to go to Chinatown and get foot massages at every single place that has the little old Chines ladies that do them. I could stay there all day, with meal breaks in Little Italy. I have slothlike qualities.
Adrienne much like most of the housewives that get brought in to add their name to an existing product is acting like she is launching her own line of vodka. It’s called Zing. I wish the Zingbot (from Big Brother) would show up and zing Adrienne mercilessly throughout the entire event. TobaccoRhoda now has me noticing Chef Bernie’s nose twitch. I should block her for that. Adrienne goes after Paul as soon as he asks Bernie anything. Adrienne is dragging out a dozen dinner plates for the appetizers. Really? Even Paul knows better than that. Continue reading »

It’s time for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to go to Paris. I love Paris! I haven’t been there in three years and it is time to go back. I am having to rewrite this paragraph because WordPress ate it. Essentially what happened was Kim and Kyle went to a little intervention with Taylor to discuss her drinking. Kim told her that she was seeing signs of a drinking problem in Taylor and felt the need to address especially because she seems to not be keeping a close eye on Kennedy. Taylor pretty much admitted she uses alcohol as a crutch to get her through some of the rough times and agrees to start watching herself. However, in her blog last week she made a snarky comment about Kim thinking she was Dr. Drew so it seems that she was irritated by it and based on her appearance on WWHL recently, she’s not doing much in the way of self monitoring.
Meanwhile at Villa Rosa, Ken is feeding the swans. Ken’s son Warren lives in St. Tropez and Lisa and Ken are going to see him. Of course they are taking Giggy. Lisa is showing everything to Ken before packing and he is going is giving the obligatory, “I love everything!” husband response.
Yolanda is at Mohamed’s house getting ready for a housewarming party to show the housewives the new house. Yolanda explains that Mohamed is not the faithful type and that didn’t work well for a proper Dutch girls like her. All the girls are at the house except Adrienne who cancelled. Brandi is thrilled and so am I. David discovers that Marisa has been married for 16 years and he says to her husband, “It’s about time for a change!” This of course sends Marisa off on another tangent of how she is ready for some strange. I don’t expect this marriage to last. In fact it reminds me of Adrienne emasculating Paul at every turn. Continue reading »

Looks like we are back at the Moroccan restaurant where Mauricio is being a douchebag and WOW. I am shocked to see Kyle grabbing him and telling him to shut the fuck up. What was that about? Didn’t want him to let on that she was stirring the pot somehow? Then Kyle does her, “the is the last thing I wanted to happen…” routine and apologizes for Mauricio. Brandi is crying about her kids and how Adrienne is taking food out of her kids mouths by suing her over bullshit. Ken is getting such a good edit. Which means I am falling in love with Ken all over again. It does seem like Kyle said it is not about the surrogacy. Which means in Kyle land, sure it is about the surrogacy issue but it’s also about the reasons behind it and why those two decided to use a surrogate. To me anyway. I’m just saying.
I hate to stick up for Taylor but I totally get her saying that she doesn’t give a rat’s ass about Yolanda’s opinion from her multimillion dollar house in Malibu about how she should feel. It’s the exact same thing Brandi is saying to Mauricio about the lawsuits he has not being a big deal to him. He has lawyers, they are a big deal to a woman raising two kids alone in Beverly Hills living on a Bravo income alone. OOOOH Taylor says “I think we now a little bit more about her husband than she knows we know…” Very interesting! She refers to his marriage to Linda Thompson (I hope that is the right name, I am so behind). Yolanda goes to the ladies room to support Brandi and Lisa is there. This is MY TEAM and it will for the rest of the season be these three against the rest. Continue reading »

Okay this is so confusing. I suppose last week’s RHOBH was an extended episode and Vanderpump Rules was shortened in the world of Bravo which explains why tonight’s episode of Vanderpump Rules is labeled episode one, but I really hate this blurring of the lines. Sigh. Anyway we are back to the scene of Brandi and Scheana crying which I thought we got past last week. The big thing they didn’t include then was Brandi saying that even if Eddie is cheating on Leann she hopes they don’t divorce because she doesn’t want her kids going through that again. She has real tears, y’all. If she did say that last time we saw this scene I missed it.
Lisa is doing the debriefing scene with Brandi and she is not sure how Brandi will get through it and she is everso worried about her. Um, she did it for a storyline for your spin-off because you asked her to Lisa. This ain’t our first trip to the reality show rodeo, ya know. We get how this works. In other news Brandi drinks rosé. I was unaware people still did that. Brandi is explaining to Lisa that Eddie uses the same lines on everyone. This is a convenient and indirect strike against Leann (not that there’s anything wrong than that). Brandi wants to know who Lisa likes best. Sigh. Oh Brandi.
More footage of Yolanda picking lemons and hanging out with her bees. Despite her very odd husband, Yolanda is really starting to grow on me. Like an organic mushroom. Sad story about Kim and Kyle’s broken relationship. Violins in the background. Yolanda says Kim needs ten days on Master Cleanse. I am not kidding.
Meanwhile at Kim’s house, she has a houseboy AND a life coach. She may be my new hero. I need Gary to help me cope, communicate, provide structure and breathe and the houseboy to clean up behind me. Kim is hurt that Kyle outed her as an alcoholic on national TV. *cough* MJ from Shahs of Sunset style*cough* Kim says if you love someone and they have an issue like that you talk to them privately. In all fairness, I want to think Kyle tried that. Want.to.think. Also, I think this is why Asa on Shah’s apologized in last night’s episode. Allegedly. Maybe. Oh, Gary is not the “life coach” clearly he is her sponsor (not that there is anything wrong with that). Continue reading »

Wow. Sylvester Stallone is suing Mohammed Hadid for shoddy workmanship! He also blames Lisa Vanderpump for referring Hadid to him in the first place. TMZ reports Stallone is claiming that Hadid bilked 1.4 million dollars out of Stallone for renovations to his Beverly Hills home. Stallone has called Hadid “incompetent con man” and ” an unscrupulous, unlicensed predator.” Specifically, Stallone claims that his kitchen renovation resulted in Hadid installing “inexpensive, damaged deteriorating and uneven cabinetry and malfunctioning appliances” and “cheap wood veneer/plywood product that is defective and virtually worthless.” He also had a problem with the air conditioning installation, the firepit Hadid built, and some glasswork that was done.I am having a hard time swallowing Stallone’s story. First of all, he calls both the air conditioning systems and the firepit “unsafe.” What is an unsafe about a central air system? What is safe about a firepit anyway? Who would allow their kitchen to be done without selecting exactly the cabinetry they wanted. Who pays the 1.4 million dollar bill if the builder puts in crappy cabinets? None of this is believable to me. Aside from what is on Bravo regarding Hadid’s building practices, I’ve quoted articles here previously that attest to Hadid’s reputation. Something ain’t right about this lawsuit. Meanwhile, Lisa Vanderpump is saying that she did introduce the two socially; but, Sly is old enough to make his own decisions.

Life & Style Magazine is reporting that Yolanda Hadid will be a new housewife on the next episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills next season. Life & Style is usually the most reliable source for Kim Zolciak news as Kim has a contract with them; however, I don’t know what to make of them as a RHOBH source since they tend to speak to Radar Online. Although, I am not sure I believe their latest article that says that Camille quit RHOBH because the producers wanted to reduce her role to the whole “friend of the housewives” level. I think Camille is loving life and doesn’t need the salary from RHOBH. She negotiated her contract and wasn’t happy with what they offered and decided it wasn’t worth her time. I don’t blame her. She doesn’t need to drag manufactured drama into her life for money. Now that she has a new man and newfound peace, I think she should enjoy it One thing that is interesting about RHOBH and their contracts. They are not paid by the episode like most of the franchises are for some reason RHOBH contracts are negotiated as a lump sum. Interesting. But back to Yolanda…
If her last name looks familiar to you that is because she was married to Mohammed Hadid. In fact Yolanda and Mohammed hosted a party together on the first season of RHOBH so this will not be Yolanda’s first time around the crew. I’m not sure when they got divorced but I am pretty sure they were still married during the filming in 2010. Yolanda married David Foster in a magnificent ceremony in a private home on the same day Kim and Kroy were married 11-11-11. Yolanda’s marriage was a bit more spectacular though. She had a 40-piece orchestra, a 50 member gospel choir, and performances by 11 year old America’s Got Talent contestant Jackie Evancho, performing Pie Jesu, Andrea Bocelli sang The Prayer ,Michael Bublé, Natalie Cole, Donna Summer, Peter Cetera, Babyface, Kenny G, The Canadian Tenors and Neil Sedaka also sang. At the reception, Foster played the piano while Avril Lavigne and Kate Hudson did back up vocals to the Eric Clapton hit “Change the World.” Oh and the guest lists includes some people you may have heard of like, Oprah Winfrey, Barbra Streisand, Muhammad Ali, Heidi Klum, Rob Lowe, Bo Derek, Suzanne Sommers, John Corbett, Dr. Phil and Robin, former Canadian Prime Minister Mr. and Mrs. Brian Mulroney, Steve Wynn, Wolfgang Puck, James Brolin, Gayle King, Wayne Gretzky, Diane Warren, Chris Botti, Eric Benét, Carol Bayer Sager, Brian Grazer, Sandy Gallin, Lara Fabian and Larry Ellison just to name a few.
Lisa Vanderpump and her hubby were likely there as well as she is friends with Yolanda. This to me gives the Life & Style story the likelihood of truth since Lisa was hung out to dry during the season finale much like Kandi Burruss was this season in Atlanta. Lisa needs an ally with a clean slate to film with next season, and someone to bitch about the other girls to. Yolanda appears to be that person. She certainly is an experienced housewife of Beverly Hills with a brand new famous husband. Works for me. What do y’all think?
One does have to wonder why Life & Style continues to refer to her as Yolanda Hadid.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump’s good buddy Mohamed Hadid’s basement is better than yours. It’s also bigger than your house many times over. The 14,000 square foot basement (no that is not a typo) has a fancy Turkish bath with hand-carved Egyptian limestone columns and a 36-foot long pool ! But don’t fear, Mohamed it seems has grown weary of the home he both designed and built and it going to put it on the market this spring! It can be yours for a cool 60 million. You don’t even have to worry about guests staying over as you can put them up at the Beverly Hills Hotel which is right across the street! If you don’t find his taste to your liking, don’t worry, The Wall Streeet Journal has some other options for you here. Happy shopping! Go get that listing, Reza and MJ!
