Here’s news that won’t surprise anyone that watched even one episode of the first season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Insect thin, slug-lipped social climber Taylor Armstrong and her socially inept husband of six years, Russell, have split up according to US Weekly. The last we heard of Russell he and Taylor were having serious “cash flow issues” after having filed for bankruptcy five years ago. They also live in a rented house and Russel has been sued multiple times for bilking investors along with being convicted of felony tax evasion. So much for those elaborate parties that Taylor is always throwing. Well now that Taylor is making her own money she can kick Russell’s ass to the curb and look for a new guy to support her. They’ve supposedly separated.
A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has secretly separated from her banker husband of seven years.
“They’ve had huge marital problems related to finances,” the insider says of the pair, who were seen together with daughter Kennedy, 5, at a May 7 Lollipop Theater Network event in Burbank, Calif.
The couple’s marital problems are nothing new: Bravo viewers watched them bicker constantly during the show’s first season, and Taylor even likened their marriage to a business arrangement.
Still, the recent split is taking a physical toll on Taylor. “She’s emaciated — down 10, 15 pounds,” a source tells Us.
The Real Housewives drama doesn’t end there. New cast member Brandi Glanville, 38 — Eddie Cibrian’s ex — and Kyle Richards, 42, have been “going at it” since filming began on season 2. “They got into a fight and Brandi lunged at Kyle,” a source says. “They had to be separated by producers.
[From US Weekly]
That last paragraph is the real story here. Brandi Glanville is a new cast member, she was announced late last week and she’s already fighting with Kyle. It makes sense. Kyle is trying to bring down the new member and establish herself as the alpha bitch. It doesn’t seem like Brandi’s personality to go after her, though, and I bet there’s something more there. I guess that means Robbie Williams’ wife didn’t join them, which is a shame although I’m happy for Brandi. Kyle wouldn’t dare go after Robbie Williams’ wife, she’s so much richer and higher status.

I didn’t know they filed for bankruptcy? That is unbelievable when she threw that bday party for her daughter and spent like $40K on it? Why do ppl do that??
i am SHOCKED!
not really.
Slug lips signed on for RHOBHs because she was looking for a way out of that fiasco/marraige to Mr. No Personality.
I’m so happy for Brandi Glanville. I’m sure the “bitch fight” is only to creat a buzzz and it seems to be working. I think this show should be called the Real Exwives of BH with all the divorces going on. Anyway, I’m going to watch every episode now that Brandi is part of it. I know of no other wife who was cheated on like she was cheated on and then taunted by the likes of LeAnn Rimes. Goooo Brandi!!!!
“A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has secretly separated from her banker husband of seven years.”
I thought he was a plastic surgeon? hmmmm i smell a grifter. Also Taylor is not her real name.
Pic number three you can see the clear ridge line of her cheek implants. GROSS!
That wasn’t a shock. Those two were a piece of work together.
Maybe (doubtful) Taylor will get off her high horse and stop acting like such a snot this season. Getting divorced might knock her down a peg.
…and those lips. Dear Barbara.
Team Brandi all the way!!!!!
*waving to Eileen & Rita*
Eileen, you are wanted at the Crack Tailgate stat!
I am thrilled Brandi will be on & if she lunged at anyone it was only after being instigated I’m sure. Brandi is fiesty….and doesn’t take sh!t from anyone. Right Leann?
No surprise to read this headline. Only surprise is that they hung on as long as they did.
As much as I loathe to admit it I look forward to season 2 especially to see Brandi go after Kyle. How is bonus Mom going to copy Brandi on this?
She’s not generally the type of person I’d like, but the husband is so stunningly dull that I really kind of feel sorry for her. She just strikes me as kind of sad.
So happy for Brandi, this is her time to shine!
*Hi Jezi*
Brandi Glanville was arrested for DUI in Beveryly Hills, but she actually lives about 20 miles away. She lives in Calabasas which is where Kris Jenner, JLo, Britney, Howie Mandell etc live.
I always felt sorry for their daughter, now even more so.
And Taylor’s going to have to bag a new husband fast. They don’t get paid that much for Housewives. Maybe Taylor can marry Lisa’s friend, the one she kept trying to fix up with Kim Richards. Martin was it?
That silver dress in the last photo looks like something an ice skater would wear if they were performing to the theme music from ‘Dynasty’.
Ugh, those cheek implants, lips and omg, that penis nose? Who could stand to look at that?
@OXA #13 or should I say Darrell Brown.
You’re behind the times. Brandi moved to BH three weeks ago. She’s providing for her children while Eddie is not and continues to leach off LeAnn’s inverted scrotum.
If Brandi can sit at her child’s birthday party without ripping LeAnn’s face off or castrating Darrell Brown, Kyle is not going to bother her in the least.
@Jezi, Please accept a special invite to our Lohan tailgate party!!!
So happy that guy is out of the picture. How dull and boring, yawn! Can’t wait for season 2, it’s gonna be good!
Rita, you f-cking slay me. I would say you should put an an #allegedly in there but we’re on the comments section of a celebrity gossip site…so unless they can subpoena CB’s records, you’re safe 😉
Why does anyone care about Brandi Glanville? As if she is the only woman to have been cheated on by her husband. Good grief!
Honestly, I don’t blame her for leaving him. He’s about exciting as a piece of melba toast.
LOL Rita and SO true! IF she can sit through a “therapy” shitfest with the queen of nasty…Kyle is an entertaining walk in the park. Plus all the RH shows are pure acting, you have to submit a script to the show before filming so who knows what they are going to make the newbie do! lol I can’t wait to watch!!
OMG..I just re-read the top post. They file for bankruptcy? You know, all those creiditors that those people screwed when they filed should have been able to go back on them when they saw that ridiculous Alice in Wonderland birthday party. If your in dire straits you don’t waste what money you do have on crap like that. What loons!
@Ebonyshiksa
Let me get this straight, so if I have not personally witnessed it, I must use the word allegedly, like…
LeAnn allegedly cheated on her husband by allegedly stalking Brandi’s husband who was allegedly banging the allegedly batshit crazy bitch on an alleged movie set after Eddie was allegedly banging his mistress while Brandi was allegedly pregnant and so on and so on. Since I’ve never met any of these people I guess they are alleged people…so I say,
F_CK THAT ALLEGED CRAP!!! LeAnn Rimes is nothing but a heartless narcassistic spitoon for peen vomit whose inverted scrotum is home to gerbils, Eddie Cibrian, and Darrell Brown’s “alleged” songwriting career.
Have a nice day Ebony. You are one smart and sexy chica!!!!
Left the Crack Tailgate to visit with my BB gals. Rita you are so friggen funny!
BTW, I get People magazine (free subscription) & when I got the issue with the cheaters wedding pics, I tore them up and sent them back to the magazine…told them I’m sending trash back to them…lol.
Don’t forget Brandi is very good friends with Cedric (Lisa’s ex friend).
I have heard Cedric will be making some appearances, and that has to cause trouble considering the way everyone feels about him. Also in my opinion, Kyle is nasty to anyone she thinks her husband might be attracted to. But now that Taylor is single she better watch Mauricio…..always thought Taylor was a little envious of Kyles marriage.
I do not get how these people would want all their laundry aired for the whole world. And why are grown women acting like 2 yos?
Kyle is a piece of work, but who lunges at someone (or flips tables, chases after other women, pulls hair), etc. Never understood why these women behave in such classless ways. I know it is for ratings and a check, but I would be mortified. And while they are prompted to bring the drama I don’t think it is that much ‘acting’.
And really it doesn’t matter what they do b/c everyone knows Jiggy (sp?) is the real star!
why does anyone even care about this woman?
What a whore. After living off her husband for who knows how long, now that she is making some money it’s time to bail. She is delusional and financially irresponsible herself and obviously has been listening to her new BFF’s about how she can get better and do better without the dead weight. True L.A. gold-digger. Her husband (Mr. Boring Misogynist) can collect child support from her now.
I hate Kyle.
Brandi Glanville?! How did I miss that announcement?! Man, the s – – t’s gonna go down! She’s friends with CEDRIC! I wonder how Lisa feels about this! Bad juju for sure!!!
Gooooo Brandi!!!!
Glad you’re on. LUV the show.
Good move & I hope you rip into
that “thing” YOUR husband married —
EVERY CHANCE YOU GET.
@Relli: Adrienne Maloof is married to the plastic surgeon (though she is definitely wealthy through her family). Russell was some sort of “businessman”- his career was never actually clarified.
The fact that I know this means that I now have to go re-evaluate the choices I have made in my life.
Totally don’t care about Taylor but OMG I kind of can’t wait to see this season now. Brandi “lunged” at Kyle?? Amazing. I think Kyle is AWFUL. And it should be fun to watch the string of wealthy men that Taylor will obviously try to date next season…
Taylors face scares me.
” Taylor even likened their marriage to a business arrangement.”
It’s bad business when 5 of the 7 years have been spent in bankruptcy.
@Rita, LMAO @ inverted scrotum!
He is control freak and she is an anorexic gold digger. She made her bed marying him for money BUT he is by far the creepiest househusband yet.
She is tied to him for life because of their child so lets hope they stay civil for the child.
Brandi lunging at Kyle?! Kyle is an angry person who deserves someone in her face but that said 2 grown women getting physical is pathetic.
Like the Kardashians these women have lost sight of anything remotely resembling class. Lisa seems to be the exception but she is still on this terrible show so….
I hope Brandi is seeing LeAnn every time she’s with Kyle. That Paris’ aunt needs a lesson. LOL.
Hi Rita, Brin & the rest of the gals. So what Brandi lunged at Kyle??? That’s ratings gold. Everyone loves a good catfight. Brandi doesn’t care how she looks cause she’s trying to support herself and her kids. That’s more important to her.
People care about Brandi because she wasn’t just cheated on, she was cheated on, humiliated & told to shut up & take the abuse. The mistress stalked her family & gloated in her face. The fact that Brandi did not keep quiet & told her story is why she’s gotten so much sympathy & so much support.
And the best part, Brandi didn’t have to tip off the paps on a DAILY basis to get hype for her show, like someone else who is working on a “film” for CMT and constantly tweeting about BG and EC kids on a PUBLIC FORUM despite the fact that EC claims that he doesn’t want his kids exposed to the media.
