Real Housewives Kim Richards Rehab Again

Kim Richards‘ bizarre behavior on Monday’s edition of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills clearly startled castmates Lisa Vanderpump, Brandi Glanville and Taylor Armstrong, all of whom took to their respective Bravo blogs to vent their thoughts on the events that took place as the ladies traveled to France.

On Monday’s episode, the ladies took notice when Kim, a recovering alcoholic, was behaving erratically on their trip. At one point, she nearly missed a private cooking class, spurring concerns she’d taken too prescription medication. When Lisa questioned her about it, Kim snapped at her.


On her blog, Lisa wrote that the cast was “acutely aware” of “a significant change in Kim’s behavior, but couldn’t quite understand what exactly was responsible for the shift.
“I knew she wasn’t drinking, for sure, and I support her a 1000 percent in her struggle with sobriety,” the new Dancing with the Stars cast member wrote. “But she seemed sleepy, lethargic, rambling, and almost incoherent at times.


“We waited for her for a substantial amount of time, which in the past had been a bit of a ritual and finally she joined us.”

Lisa said that while she was naive in asking Kim if she’d taken a sleeping pill — not realizing she was essentially accusing her pal of relapsing — she still found Kim’s response to be overly “emotional and volatile.”

Brandi concurred with Lisa about Kim’s seemingly loopy behavior, saying the former child star “seemed very unstable during our Paris trip, and we were all worried about her.

“Kim seemed fine one second and then completely off the next,” Brandi wrote. “We were all very concerned about her … Lisa was truly concerned, but Kim took it as something it wasn’t.”
Taylor, whose own issues with the bottle have been under scrutiny as of late, did not go on the trip, but still commented on the episode all the same, saying she “was bewildered by Kim” and her behavior throughout the Parisian getaway.

She said she “was nervous for Kim,” “knew something wasn’t right with her,” and had a “pit in [her] stomach seeing her not lucid.


“As viewers and as friends, we have only seen slight glimpses of the destruction this disease has caused Kim and her entire family,” Taylor wrote. “We all love Kim and want her to be healthy and happy. Any sign that she may not be on the positive path she has been on since her treatment evokes concern from everyone in the group. Kim has said that everyday is a struggle and we are all so proud of her for each day she succeeds.”

As for Lisa, Taylor said while she can be “brutally honest,” it all comes from a caring, well-intended place.


“It wasn’t right for Kim to question Lisa’s concern for her when Kim was clearly disoriented,” she wrote. “When the age old question emerged — Where’s Kim? — it became clear that Kim’s recollection of the day’s events were quite different than reality.”

Marysol Patton Mother (Elsa Patton) Face

If you’ve ever seen The Real Housewives of Miami, you’ve wondered, as I have, what in the name of deflated flesh balloons has happened to Housewife Marysol Patton‘s mother’s face. Elsa Patton is a psychic in Miami, and a terror to all human Muppets everywhere. She has had so many ill-fated procedures that it’s hard to even know where to begin, except to say that it looks like that someone tried and failed to restore the fresca version of her face, and instead just melted all the flesh-paint until it was warm and bubbly and ran down her face, where it rehardened into the puffy, lumpy mass we see today. Maybe she should have tried what Kyle Richards uses.

 
Starting to get the lips and the brows involved.

But it wasn’t a painting restoration gone awry that did this to Mama Elsa. It was a real, live, surgeon, who she referred to in the last episode only as, “the man who ruined my face.” Someone who theoretically has a medical degree allowed Elsa Patton to walk into his or her office looking like a normal(ish) person, and to walk out looking like a hot pocket drag queen. I can see that, you can see that — but as fun as it is to speculate wildly on what could have possibly happened to turn her skin into a delicious, bubbly calzone, we here at Crushable thought we’d turn to an actual expert to determine what might have gone on here behind-the-scenes.
Sloping gradually downhill.
We asked Dr. Richard Chaffoo, MD, FACS, FICS (those fancy titles mean he’s a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and the International College of Surgeons, and he’s been a working facial cosmetic surgeon for 20 years, so he knows his shit) about his professional opinion of Mama Elsa’s face, and he had this to say:
“It appears as though she had a brow lift, blepharoplasty, facelift, and fillers although she looks overdone and unnatural. Her eyebrows are raised too high in a surprised and artificial appearance.”
Ah yes, a blepharoplasty! I’m sure you know just what that is! (Actually you might, but we didn’t, so we asked — and it’s a cosmetic eyelid surgery. Mmmm, sounds delicious.)
And here’s our lady today.
So there you have it, folks. All your questions are answered. You’re looking at what happens when somebody tries to pull all the skin in your face up toward your ears, and then fills up the pockets of skin with fat from your butt, but does it wrong. Which is pretty much what Dr. Chaffoo said, but a lot smarter because I never went to medical school and I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about. Much like whatever no-account surgeon did this to Elsa Patton’s face.

Alexis Bellino Fired

After three seasons of "The Real Housewives of Orange County," Allexis Bellino is reportedly leaving the show -- but was it her choice?

"Alexis was really tired of being bullied and chose home and family life over celebrity," a source tells Us Weekly, adding that the mom of three "wanted to go back to her simple life in Orange County."

However, cast mate Tamra Barney tells a different story Tuesday (Sept. 18) on Twitter.

She writes, "let's just say the story I read and what I was told does not match [...] in my opinion her story is never straight!"

"I can't wait for the truth to come out!" Tamra adds.

A rep for the network says Bravo has yet to make any announcements about a Season 8 pickup or casting.

Dr. Karent Sierra Age

Dr. Karent Sierra Age: She is 38 years old

From a recent interview:

For dinner I sometimes also go to Chicken Kitchen and have plain chicken breast. I tend to have small dinners. I eat it after my afternoon workout at about 6 o'clock. Every once in a while, I'll have a protein bar for dinner.

For a snack, sometimes I have almonds — always have almonds in my office. Or fresh fruit.

I try to eat good during the week so I can cheat a little on the weekend, go to a restaurant.

What do you drink typically?

Water, 90 percent of the time I drink water. I have a glass of wine maybe once a week, a nice cabernet. It's healthy for your heart, as long as you don't drink a week's worth in one meal.

Do you take any vitamins?

I always take Omega 3-6-9, which is good for the immune system and joints. Includes all the fish oils.

Where did you acquire your fitness and nutrition knowledge?

I have had a nice group of friends since college. We all go to the same gym and talk about nutrition and what machines are right for a part of your body. So that's how I learned it.

Do you have any advice for South Florida residents looking to get fit?

Find something you enjoy doing. I don't see spinning or Pilates as a workout because I enjoy it. Some people might like bike riding if they don't like swimming. Or walking in the park. You're walking and talking and doing a little exercise.
