WATNW- Adrienne Maloof

Ali B

One of my favorite housewives from Beverly Hills has to be Adrienne Maloof. I will never forget her opening scene in the first season. She was congratulated by President Barack Obama (king!!!!) for doing some type of charity work and she was so proud of herself. On the other hand, her husband said he didn’t want her to hang it in their house because he was a republican. Cut to her interview she flat out said she was a democrat and didn’t care what her rich friends thought of her. Ever since then, she’s been an icon in my eyes, and it doesn’t hurt that her and her family own The Palms in Vegas.

Adrienne has had some very legendary moments on her time on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The one time Lisa Vanderpump tried to teach her to cook and she full on washed a raw chicken with soap and water. That is a scene that lives rent-free in my head. Or her amazing Maloof Hoof.

Since her time on RHOBH, she has started her successful Drinkade company, a drink committed to warding off hangovers. Checking in on her instagram, she has been very active. Supporting President-elect Joe Biden, thanking frontline workers in the pandemic, advocating for mask-wearing, and posting throwbacks of her time on the show. She has definitely been a favorite of mine since her first line on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Let’s raise our crystal glasses of Prosecco to Ms. Maloof. Possibly one of the most down-to-earth housewives to ever be on television. Cheers!

Top Three Dramatic Dinners

Ali B

If the Housewives can guarantee us anything, it’s that they bring the drama, especially over a nice sit-down dinner with a private chef and catering staff. Here are my three favorite dinners that were less than calm.

#3: Crazy Kelly at Scary Island

It’s no secret that Kelly Bensimon is one of my least favorite people in Real Housewives terms. Her drunken (and probably drug-induced) state resulted in a major match between her and our dearly beloved Bethenny Frankel on the girls’ trip to St. John. Kelly accused Bethenny of trying to kill her in her sleep. I’m sorry but if I thought someone was going to try to kill me, I wouldn’t be going on trip after trip with them. This was the time that Kelly also told Bethenny that she was “nothing but a cook”. Which we all know is far from true. Although today it seems that Kelly has her head on straight, that dinner really showed the world what kind of person Kelly Bensimon is: creepy, drunk, and mentally ill.

#2: Crystal Meth and the Psychic

Now we move to the infamous “Dinner from Hell”. Ms. Camille Grammar decided it was a wonderful idea to not only invite a foul-mouthed Brandi Glanville to her dinner, but also a Craigslist psychic who told Kyle her husband will “never emotionally fulfill her”. Before the psychic and her e-cigarette got their 15 minutes, Ms. Glanville said some of the most famous words ever to come out of any Real Housewives franchise. “At least I don’t do crystal meth in the bathroom all night long, bitch!”. In Brandi’s defense, Kim did take multiple trips to the bathroom that night. Do I think it was crystal meth? No. Do I think she had a gram of blow up her nose? Of course! These are the Real Housewives we’re talking about. They are some of the most drugged up people in this world.

#1: Teresa’s Table Flip

Drum roll please………… of course I HAVE to mention the iconic table flip. In all honesty, I have nothing to say about this except for: if you know, you know. “Cop Without a Badge” and “Prostitution Whore” are the only things I have to say.

Five of the Best Real Housewives Halloween Costumes

Ali B

I am not one for Halloween, dressing up was never really my thing, even as a child. However, when you are rich, that opens all new doors for costume designing. I have compiled a list of five of my favorite costumes worn by Real Housewives.

#5: Romana Singer as Britney Spears

Watch See Even More From Bethenny and Ramona's Halloween Argument | The Real Housewives of New York City Season 10 - Episode 1 Video

Halloween 2017 Romona showed she was not that innocent when she dressed up in the iconic red latex jumpsuit from Britney’s “Oops!… I Did It Again” music video. Even at 60 years old, she still looks so good in her costume.

#4: Kris Jenner as Jack Skellington

Kris Jenner Looked Unrecognizable In Her Spooky Halloween Costume

Now I am FULLY aware that award-winning momager, Kris Jenner, is not an official housewife. However, I think of her as an honorary one. She has made cameos on multiple episodes of RHOBH and she is a reality television icon. She deserves an honorary mention. This year she dressed up as Jack
Skellington from Tim Burton’s “Nightmare Before Christmas“.

#3: Shannon Beador as Bret Micheals

Another iconic costume from 2017. Shannon has expressed her love for Bret Michaels in the past, but she took it to a whole new level when she dressed up as the rocker on Halloween.

#2: Cynthia Bailey as 50 Cent

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta: NeNe Leakes gets last laugh with Kim Zolciak on season 10 finale | Daily Mail Online

Real Housewife of Atlanta, Cynthia, made an iconic statement in 2017 when she went has rapper 50 Cent for Halloween.

#1: Lisa Rinna as Erika Jayne

Of course I have to rate this one as my number one pick. This costume combines two of my favorite housewives from my favorite franchise. I will never forget when Lisa walked into Kyle’s party dressed up like this. It was the talk of the night!

WATNW- Carlton Elizabeth

Ali B

It’s that time again! Let’s dive in to the self-proclaimed witch from season four. Yes, Carlton Elizabeth only lasted one season with the women and was the wackiest one to grace our screens.

In addition to her one season stint on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Carlton was a model and actress in the 90’s and also made a cameo on Lady Gaga’s ‘G.U.Y.’ music video in 2014. She was married to producer David Gebba. On their time on RHOBH, they seemed very in love. Her witchy ways were no match for him, even though she wore a pentagram around her neck, there was not bad blood in between the two, until 2018 when they split.

Even pentagram-less, she is still intimidating

If I’m being honest, after the first or second episode I watched with her, I fast forwarded through all of her parts. She was not someone who seemed to bring anything that great to the show. She’s some sort of witch? Okay…. so is every other woman who does drugs and makes candles on this earth. Being a witch is not a personality trait, but I don’t need to be stricken-down by her powers so I’m just going to leave the rest of my comments to myself.

Scrolling through her instagram, she is still obsessed with her children, Mysteri, Destiny, and Cross, and she’s still living her best witch life. Her posts consist of her supporting the BLM movement, LGBTQAI+ community and her recent travels to various tropical places.

She was never my favorite, but she sure did make her mark on the RHOBH viewers. Let’s throw up our chalices filled with red wine and toast to Carlton. Creepy, yet consistent. Here’s to you, Carlton.

WATNW- Camille Grammer

Ali B

Famously married to actor Kelsey Grammar, Camille (Meyer) definitely made her mark on her time as a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills. Although she pops in and out randomly throughout newer seasons, Camille was only on RHOBH for two seasons, which I could have sworn she was on more, I guess the Bravo checks weren’t big enough, so she decided to settle for cameos.

Dinner Party from Hell, Season 1

Something we cannot forget about this Bravolebrity is her famously slandering Faye Resnick for her past photoshoots. That single dinner party set the entire vibe of Camille on Real Housewives. She may have big, innocent doe eyes, but the words that come out of Camille’s mouth are anything but the slightest bit of nice.

Since she’s been off the show officially, Camille has been keeping a low profile. She has been on Watch What Happens Live! a handful of times and according to her Instagram, is still traveling, giving her well wishes to her fans, and quarinting in her beach-front Malibu home. Ever since she’s been a housewife, I have always wondered: What does Camille actually do for a living? To me, it just seems like she’s married? In my deep dive of her past, apparently she has been a dancer, performer, screenwriter, and actor, but to me, she just seems like a Beverly Hills socialite.

Although Camille is not big on drinking, we still have to toast to her. So let’s cheers our whatever-filled glasses to Camille Meyer, a never forgotten addition to the first two seasons of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It was a pleasure to get to know her, but boy am I glad we don’t have to deal with her anymore.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Secrets Revealed

Ali B

Oh yes, it’s that sweet time of year when we get a “Secrets Revealed” episode, or as Kyle Richards calls it, “The Sh*t You Thought You Got Away With”. Dorit and her Gucci ice cubes, Garcelle wraps up her first season, Denise gets tongue tied and Erika bonds with her new friend, Sutton, over being southern.
First things first: we have to applaud Garcelle for successfully finishing the season with these crazy white women. Personally, I think Garcelle is an amazing addition to the show. She seems to simmer down the other women in the times things get a little heated and I live for it.
Of course, I cannot talk about RHOBH: Secrets Revealed without mentioning Bravo, Bravo, F*cking Bravo. As explained by Kyle, the saying “Bravo, Bravo, Bravo” was a lighthearted way the women would tell the network they were still touching up hair and makeup between replacing camera batteries. Apparently, Ms. Richards didn’t get the memo. How could she think that the network would just cut out an entire dinner table fight because of one saying? Unfortunately, Bravo had other plans for Denise and aired it anyway. And poor Lois in the background of the fight. Lois is too much of a goddess to sit with these women and hear them fight over Dorit’s glam agenda.
The last thing I have to bring up is: Sutton is fun? As we saw in Secrets Revealed, Sutton turned 48, but it seemed like her liver just turned 21. In all honesty, I am not a huge fan of hers, but she did make the show a little extra fun to watch with her little southern way of living. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of her in Season 11.
So let’s raise a glass of Reposado to honor Denise in her quest to fix her very public downfall and to Garcelle for completing her first season as an official housewife of Beverly Hills!
