Blind Item: Miss Direction

July 9, 2016 by tamaratattles 71 Comments

Blind Item
This perennial contract holdout has planted all sorts of benevolent reasons and ridiculous excuses about why she is unsure if she wants to do another season.  She acts as though her other enterprises are not bleeding money and the show is not her biggest Band-Aid.

The real reason she was holding out  had nothing to do with what was reported. She was in heavy negotiations for the right to choose a new cast mate to be her BFF and shield her from the other ladies who tend to come at her from all sides. My sources say her demands were granted.

chess

 

When it comes to negotiating her contract she always asks for something. Then there is always a big leak about what she got out of the contract. But it’s never what you think. Funny how that happens.

Let’s hope this new pawn is up to the task. This group is coming back packed with formidable personalities.

    Definitely Vanderpump. I read that she “almost didn’t come back because she is soooo busy with her 3 restaurants & Pump Rules, but agreed to come back if they focus on her LGBT& AIDS charity work and her dog festival protests. It makes much more sense that she was holding out for the cast mate of her choice. Is this the year we finally get Shiva? The little we have seen of Shiva in the past I don’t see her as the aggressive type

      Of course she does. If she loses the show, her restaurant biz drops dramatically, and I don’t believe for a second that she’s as wealth as she pretends to be. And, what exactly does she do for the LGBTQ population? Be friends with Lance Bass? Accept awards? Is she feeding homeless LGBTQ teens or something else of real value?

      Gasp! “Old”?! There’s nothing I hate more than a young housewife – Meghan, Jules etc. I’m only 37 but for some reason women my age are very boring and annoying (as housewives, not in general). Personally I find LVP fascinating.

        Gotta agree with you there Yoya. Young housewives don’t know what the hell they’re doing. And they always seem to make complete donkey’s asses out of themselves. It’s like watching a pee-wee hockey player trying to block shots coming from Wayne Gretsky.

    I remember at a reunion past that Kyle told LVP that she was like Bobby Fischer making very calculated and manipulative moves.

    I wonder who the new housewife will be. If it is someone we already know, it would seem likely to be Muhammed’s finance. I can’t recall her name off hand. Perhaps it is somebody brand new to us, but I am anxious to see who will be joining the cast!!

    Thanks for the Blind, Tamara! Always a favorite of mine!!

      Nene is totally a possibility, but it seems like she’s probably learned her lesson by now. After basically skipping a season because of her own bullshit Nene’s probably more docile and not so quick to be a diva anymore.

      I think LVP is the one because TT gave the hint that this individual’s other businesses are hemorrhaging money. And that probably means LVP’s restaurants. Lisa does a good job of looking fabulously wealthy, but apparently it’s all a huge song and dance show with fireworks and Slash from Guns N’ Roses playing guitar.

      The big scoop in the blind is that this person is broke and we all know Nene is broke. LVP on the other hand gives the impression that they are worth 8-9 figures.

    I enjoy LVP, I see her being a great housewife. She can get others to implode as she sits back drinking her sangria. Lisa lives a wonderful life.

    I don’t see her needing money, her other ventures seem to be ok. She’s been in business so long that they know how to stop a loss.

    Maybe NeNe.

    I would rather watch Lisa Rinna have her ass crack waxed for an entire episode than watch Shiva mince around like a Stepford Wife for 5 minutes. She has the personality of a box of hair. Even if she did want to do something interesting, Mohammed (can’t recall which spelling he goes by) wouldn’t let her. I foresee a lot of scenes where LVP cracks jokes and Shiva is the Greek chorus laughing and blushing at LVP’s pubic hair jokes.

    This is definitely Linnethia Monique “NeNe” Leakes. I don’t see Lisa’s businesses bleeding and she was rich before Housewives, the same cannot be said for Mrs. Leakes. Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards basically run RHOBH, it was clear from last season and all that was revealed by Lisa Rinna that she has a vested interest in the show doing well and having some sort of storyline throughout the season. Lisa is Queen on that chessboard. Thank you TT, I don’t know what I would have done had I not come upon your website. You’re simply the best ala the other TT, Miss Tina Turner. Xxx

    LVP needs a new TV friend/human shield . I don’t think anyone can stop Rinna from “owning her truth” and that likely means LVP’s demands may prove fruitless.

    DAMN!!!! LVP is broke?

    I can believe it. Even the best run restaurants make about $0.05 on the dollar. The margins for a restaurant are minuscule which is why almost 100% of all restaurants fail.

    That’s why I laugh when these fools all want to open restaurants.

    My husband says everyone wants to be a rock star and when they can’t, they want to open a restaurant.

      JoJo, They have liquor license at both places, that alone is huge.

      I assume Sur and Pump follow a business plan developed years ago by LVP and Ken, of course they make a profit on their food, most well run places do.

      I would bet their investment portfolio is where the money is.

        All three of their restaurants serve alcohol. At least in this neck of the woods, food is draw and booze is your money. If the food is good, they will drink your booze. I know there are a couple of law suits against LVP, but that’s not all that uncommon in the restaurant business. Do we really think they are bleeding money?

    “then there is always a big leak about what she got out of the contract”

    “this group is coming back packed with formidable personalities”

    i don’t know guys. while i immediately thought of LVP, the more i think about it, this may be Nene. are there always big leaks about Lisa’s salary? not that i can recall, but we’re always hearing about how Nene is the highest paid housewives making millions of dollars per season. weren’t we hearing 2 mil last time around? BS. she has a lot of business ventures but are any of them particularly profitable? Lisa’s places may not be doing that well, but i don’t see the show being a great source of income or “band aid” compared to outside income. finally, while most of the ladies from BH aren’t punks or pushovers (minus Kyle), the use of the word “formidable” makes me think more of the ATL ladies.

    then again, perennial contract holdout? that’s Vanderpump. heck, i don’t know.

    this could actually be either…or BOTH of them.

    If it is lvp, doesn’t she have Kyle on her side. Or maybe the betrayal at the dinner table on the yacht makes lvp wary. Or maybe there was too much backlash at Kyle for staying in an abusive or leveraged relationship. They do need a new person though. I personally am not into shiva. She rarely says anything. But then again maybe now she will. She looks like an entertaining bimbo to watch. I look forward to watching more if Erika too.

    I’m going with Nene….the hint of the main consistent source of income being a reality show screams Nene. Nene is no match for Kenya’s wittiness and is not clever enough to toss the ball back to Kenya so she needs a smart and clever smartass friend that can toss it back without fists and other Porsha type moves. Also, Nene is always posing like she has other enterprises lined up during negotiations. LVP is actually rich and consistent…Nene, not so much.
