"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Get Ridiculous

Fashion Fundraisers, Theme Parties and Ice Cream Manicures

My 18 year-old sister, a devotee of "Teen Mom," watched this week's episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," with me. At first, she was horrified I would be watching a show such as the Housewives; then she realized they were just as childish and ridiculous as the Teen Moms and was hooked. Go figure.

It's the morning after the dinner party from hell and Adrienne and Kyle fill their husbands in on the gruesome fun. Paul wants to know what Adrienne did to stop the madness and Mauricio was surprised to hear he's not fulfilling Kyle emotionally. Kyle's afraid to attend Pinky Lisa's upcoming charity event, in case Camille's packing Allison, though Mauricio would "love" to meet the creepy crawly (and wrong) psychic. Meanwhile, Crazy Kim tells her daughter what happened and decides she can't handle going to any more events with the Housewives, lest her sanity go swirling down the drain for good.

Over at Villa Blanca, Pinky Lisa's getting the restaurant ready for her fundraiser fashion show and barks at dilettante Cedric about being late to help her set up. She's had enough of his "lazy ass" living in her house and driving her car, but she doesn't change the locks or hide the car.

Camille and Crazy Kim are MIA from the fundraiser and Pinky Lisa and Taylor think Kyle and Camille could have worked it out if other people hadn't been in the mix. Speaking of other people, "the morally corrupt Faye Resnick," is back and sitting at Kyle's table. Adrienne and Pinky Lisa agree the whole Kyle/Camille business is ridiculous and sets women back about 50 years. During lunch, Camille drops a bomb on Kyle via text that she and Kelsey will no longer be working with realtor, Mauricio. Kyle's in tears and Camille smugly tells us she can't be Kyle's target.

Camille thinks it's way cooler to straddle stand-in husband Nick a motorcycle than attend the event and prattles on and on and on and on about being the target of "vile" Kyle and believes big bad Allison was defending her. Later, she meets Adrienne for lunch so she can fish for an ally, but Adrienne's not trying to go there - she'd rather put both ladies in a time-out. Adrienne thinks Camille should be the one to extend an olive branch and before Mrs. Grammer can spend anymore time waxing poetic about "vile" Kyle, Adrienne ducks out, crying she needs to pick up her son.

Foes Crazy Kim and Taylor meet up for ice cream sundae manicures after Crazy Kim decides she needs to stop the madness. Taylor extends a last-minute invite to her Roaring 20's party, and Crazy Kim correctly guesses Taylor didn't want to invite her. Afterwards, Crazy Kim thinks she and Taylor can be friends, but Taylor's not so convinced. She believes Crazy Kim to be an enigma, like a superhero with a big question mark stamped across her chest.

Kyle and Mauricio go to lunch and boy, do the ladies love Mauricio, who blows them all kisses as he passes them on the sidewalk. Kyle fills him in on Camille's text and Mauricio can't believe Camille could be so childish (I guess they haven't met) and decides he will have to rebuild the relationship, while Kyle vows to do her part.

It's Roaring 20's night and Pinky Lisa and Lazy Ass Cedric decide to switch costumes while Russell's 20's attire consists of a hat Taylor slapped on his head. Crazy Kim begs off from this soiree as well so she can spend time with her daughter the night before she leaves for Houston. After hemming and hawing, Camille decides to go and face her enemy, yet spends the entire night avoiding Kyle and her bark with "no bite." By this point, my sister was fed up Camille, especially her assertion that Kyle didn't intimidate her ("if you're not intimidated, stop running away from her!" my sister huffed). Camille reminds us and a bored Taylor how nice she is and that being the good guy who always takes the high road has made her Kyle's enemy. Mauricio chats up Camille and later, Kyle decides to take the high road and tell Camille they need to move past it. They agree to do the Charleston together and air kiss each other all night, but Pinky Lisa's convinced the road to hell remains paved with good intentions.

Next time, Ken says enough, Camille gives Kyle a present and the Housewives take a dip.

    Anti-Kim much? Kyle, Taylor, is that you guys? Maybe stick to facts. We don';t know if Kim is crazy and she deserves the benefit of the doubt. She seems genuine and far more "real" than the others (save for the always classy and gracious Adrienne) and minds her own business while the others play out high school. It's easy to pick on the weakest member of the group, isn't it? Sort of like kicking puppies.

    I maintain all that liquor Allison was lapping up was scrambling her signals and she pegged the wrong Housewife as the wronged wife. Or maybe she's just a lousy psychic.

    Does anyone beside myself think that the "Medium" Allison, predicted her friends fate, Mrs. Grammer (oh im sorry, Ex Mrs Grammer) when stating her supposedly pyschc revelation that Kyle's husband would leave her.
