Premieres, Monday, September 19, 9:30/8:30c

Wondering if we are going to love or hate this show... Why does Caroline have a really bad wig? We do like Kat Dennings so we will give it a shot, but it is looking like some bad WB sitcom at this point. Thoughts?

We had a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premier party on Monday to celebrate the latest season (and possibly only city worth watching). The ladies were back in their full ridiculous glory complete with recently overplumped lips galore.

The show started out with Bravo doing its best to milk Russell's death. All the ladies gathered at The Maloof's house so they could pretend to care about poor Taytay and her tragedy, but we all know that they were secretly gloating and wanting to point out that Russell was always a controlling asshole and clearly gay. Instead they put on their best fake faces and cried (sans facial movement) and tried to contribute something meaningful to the conversation. We were quite surprised that Camille managed to keep her passive aggressive mouth shut, but we suspect that she was overplumped and her lips were incapable of moving... Kim, who as you may recall hates Taylor, tried to throw in her opinion but, as always, everyone kind of pretended like she was a fruit fly in the room and swatted her out of the way.

Moving onwards past the milking of Russell's passing we jumped into the pre-filmed portions of the show. This included a lot of annoying bickering between the Maloof and her plastic surgeon husband who was sporting an awful chinpube. Also featuring the Chef - Bernie or something - who might have the worst knife skills on the planet and has a not so secret hatred for Lisa Vanderpump and her little dog Jiggy.

Other notable scenes included recently divorced Camille Grammer slumming it now that she is poor and single by riding down a giant hill in her golf cart to look at her shoe collection from the Hamptons and bitch about Kelsey. Pandora's posh boyfriend asks The Hair for her hand in marriage.  BTW, who names their child Pandora?  Taylor has a growing fear / paranoia that Lisa is out to kill her.  And she is basically right. Jiggy drinks from the fugly Versace glass. Kim attempts in various scenes to cover up her neck waggle ... and fails ... miserably ... only to then reappear at the dinner party slathered in what one can only describe as Taylor Swift meets Liberaci. Someone get that woman a personal stylist - STAT.

And finally the dinner party. Which was nowhere near as fun as the Allison dinner party, but that would pretty much be impossible to recreate. All the ladies showed up in royal blue dresses which makes one wonder if white parties are a thing of the past and now blue parties are in. Like the Smurfs. Everyone was in good spirits watching Camille "act" on Sh*t My Dad Says. They appear to be laughing with her, but really they are laughing AT her while they slurp down what one can only imagine to be 64oz Big Gulp'ss of white wine.

Finally everyone moves into the dining room to feast on Chef Bernie's giant salad whilst sipping from a $2200 bottle of Angel champagne in $550 glasses. The glasses were about the most tacky thing we have ever seen and when Jiggy drank from one, we applauded.

Then Taylor's feelings got hurt because she is in therapy and sensitive. And Kyle stirred some shit up. As usual.

So things are pretty much par for the course amongst the ladies of the Bev Hills. Bitchy and in fighting.

Can't wait for the next installment next Monday. We want to meet the new Housewife already!

Another Verbal Vogueing from our lovely Louis Virtel. WE LOVE HIM.  This is the Kardashian episode.  Love it.

The Wire still ranks as probably the best television show ever made. Love these inspirational posters made from quotes of the show.

Can't quite figure out how you can make an entire series off of hand fishin'. Must watch this to find out...

Wow is all we can say. We knew that Russell seemed a little uptight and the way that Taylor cowered like a beaten dog should have given everyone some clue as to trouble in their relationship, but this is plain out sad. Poor Taytay and her little sickly pale child and that bastard dog. RIP Russell the mean VC from Beverly Hills.
