Sometimes, I do try to pay attention to the drama happening with Brandi Glanville on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but whenever I try to figure out the root of all the drama, there’s nothing there. Brandi is feuding with Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump and I guess Lisa Rinna too, but I just can’t really understand why? Something about Kim Richards, but that’s not even it. Anyway, one of Brandi’s latest controversies is that she wore a really revealing top during some dramatic scene and her girls were in full view during some heart-to-heart conversation – go here to see the NSFW video.
Meanwhile, Brandi still has drama with LeAnn Rimes, of course. Only Brandi is trying to bury the hatchet (not really) by announcing that she (Brandi) is “praying” for LeAnn. Sure. From Brandi’s Bravo blog:
Hey, My Bravoistas!
I’m in my American Airlines’ seat 36 hours later, flying back home from NYC, thankful to be on a safe path home. My prayers go out to the families and loved ones of the downed German airliner in the French Alps this morning. I cannot imagine the pain being experienced by these families at this moment, which shockingly has led me to add a new person into my flight prayer today…my children’s stepmom. Don’t get me wrong–not everything is yet copasetic, but my children love her, so she is now in the “flight prayer,” differences aside. Now on a happier RHOBH note, last night’s WWHL with Andy was sooooo fun! No drama for once!
NEWS FLASH! Please watch for my new Sonoma County Chardonnay “Unfiltered Blonde,” to launch in April!
I like that she doesn’t even write LeAnn’s name, she just refers to her as “my children’s stepmom.” That’s cool. I’m sure LeAnn refers to Brandi as “my kids’ birth mother.” So, Brandi prays for LeAnn as part of her in-flight prayers. I’m not sure that’s a good thing. I’m not sure Brandi’s word goes very far with God, you know?
Oh, and Brandi is the last person who should have her own wine line.

So… Why exactly did she need to announce this? Does she want a pat on the back or a humanitarian award of some sort?
She looks like a walking piece of plastic. Like a melted plastic clown toy. Scary.
This is how she and Leanne communicate–through blogs, social media, etc.
From reading her tweets, it came as part of the news about the German airplane going down and her own anxieties about flying. She does a little prayer before flights and because of the news of the tragedy, thought it might be a good thing to add Leann to the list of people she names in her prayer. She already adds Eddie and this time included Leann.
She’s a troll, full stop.
I was gonna say that she looks less scary than normal, then I saw the second pic.
I thought she said she was chilling with the fillers?
Oh well, she looks decent in the first pic.
Also, get off my lawn, but I don’t understand this current trend of applying 3-4 layers of makeup “contouring”. It seems akin to wearing Halloween makeup. I mean…do people do this every day or only for special occasions? It’s bizarre to me to literally “paint” your face.
Don’t ask me, the over-contouring is not my thing. But it’s good for the beauty industry, you practically need to own a full size tool box to store all the crap that YOU MUST USE!
ETA: I meant she was a troll for putting a dig in about prayers and flying. She can’t resist the shade in a statement that should have had ONLY good intentions.
No I got what you meant by “troll”.
I just decided to go on a tangent about contouring as a reply top you for no reason except I got sucked into a youtube tutorial in my FB feed the other day and I was amazed at how much work goes into it, and how drastically one can change their face.
you can contour relatively easily if you’re not looking to literally change the shape of your face. I don’t do it daily, but when I do it, it takes a matter of 5 extra minutes. Of course the results aren’t as drastic but I don’t really want to look like I’ve had plastic surgery–just that I have some semblance of cheekbones.
Also, it’s sort of like a hugely padded bra to me. Eventually, it comes off. I think it would be so odd to date someone who had a different face than you thought.
I’m not huge into contouring (I have some stuff I use to give myself cheekbones on occasion, but I don’t use it every day)…however, I have a good friend who is and as I understand it, there are different levels, so to speak? You can do just a bit or you can really lay it on, which does seem to take longer. I let her do my face once and I hated it…I DID feel like I was wearing Halloween makeup!
“My children’s stepmom” sounds better than “that sharty skank”.
All it does is proves she’s not over it — as she claims ad nauseum
Why does she need to “prove she’s not over it”?
Why should she need to prove that?
Look, Ed is no prize but if it were my husband cheating I certainly wouldn’t just “get over it” on anybody else’s time fram but my own.
I’ve not heard her say a disparaging word- or any word- in ages. The way she phrased it kept the proper distance, but was still kind. She always says her boys love their stepmother, which she doesn’t have to do. Many of her fans are irate at the way Leann handles the boys, but Brandi has always said the boys love her. In the meantime, Leann has been favoriting hateful tweets about Brandi’s looks as recently as this week, so what does that say about Leann?
Brin, your coments always make me giggle!
At least she is trying her best by including he in her prayers. And she is right, her boys likes LeAnn becouse she is very nice with them.
Yes, I think this is nice as a public acknowledgment that the stepmom matters to her boys and her loss would hurt them, even if Brandi has issues with her. The recent crash just brought it home to her, that’s all. Brandi has always said her kids love Leanne, which is also A Good Thing.
I thought it was nice, too.
LOLOLOLOLOL!!! “That sharty skank”. Awesome.
Lol, true that.
I wish she would let stepmom jump the shart alone and never publicly mention her.
How can you not feel when your nips are out?
Tara Reid syndrome?
She knew!!! Plus she’s an exhibitionist who needs constant attention and will lower herself to any level to get it
Lol! That was my first thought- breezes, air conditioning, etc., but then I remembered that augmentation can potentially alter nerve sensation. That would be no fun.
I’ve had mine hanging out without knowing it; I’m still feeding my daughter, and if I don’t forget to actively check they’re properly away after a feed, I have been known to walk around with them visible. A combination of ‘easy-access’ clothing, padded bra (I’ve been feeding her for nearly two years and she’s my third, so the underwire doesn’t cause a problem) and being so used to having them out that it doesn’t feel alien any longer.
I don’t know what Brandi’s excuse is, other than it being semi-deliberate?
Uhg. I can’t help but feel there’s something so disingenuous about people who announce that they pray/are praying for x.
Me too. Just say a prayer if you want to, and don’t seek some kind of glorification for it.
I’m in the keep it private preference. And then to swing it back around to a product ‘news flash’ is odd. I’m praying for someone. — and BTW, buy my stuff soon!
Ugh, I will admit, I watch the RHOBH (at least I have the good sense to be embarrassed about it, right?) and I think she’s doing some damage control. She has been so drunk in almost every episode this season and has seemed very defensive and “they stretch one party out for three episodes” where before she seemed pretty proud of herself for getting so out of control. The cast was in Amsterdam this season and apparently Brandi’s lawyer strongly warned her against…enjoying Amsterdam…on camera so Eddie Cibrian couldn’t use it against her. I would guess her alcohol intake has become a pretty big custody issue and this is a half assed attempt at shutting it down.
She had a terrible RHOBH season, so she’s been trying everything she can save herself from being fired and looking good in the public eye. The only person willing to film with her at this point is Kim, who is also on the chopping block.
Positive PR was my take, as well.
What is she praying for Leanne for. Sounds more like Brandi sarcasim.. She really needs to back off many things and say a prayer for herself.
Is it called tragedyjacking or something, when people express disingenuous sympathy for victims of a tragedy, only to turn the conversation to themselves? Shilling a product in the same post as “sending prayers” to the victims and families of 150 dead people is pretty low
So Brandi mentions Leann knowing it’ll get her attention, and then plugs her wine at the end. Smart marketing move on her part? Or just sad that at this point in her life, she’s still using the hillbilly triangle to sell herself?
Announcing it publicly, typical fame ho stuff that comes from both of them. Spare me.
+1
The PR person/ghostwriter she hired sucks!
I would be very grateful when all housewives stop using the word “copacetic.” I guess this is the their attempt to sound somewhat intelligent but they just sound like a 4 year old that just learned a new word and has to say a million times.
You know, at least she makes an attempt at courtesy. She will always acknowledge the boys’ affection for their stepmother, while Leann favorites nasty tweets towards Brandi and befriends people who say ugly things about her. She wasn’t overly flowery, and that kind of tragedy can hit home for someone who travels by plane a great deal.
I woukd have stopped trying to appease her long ago. She and Ed seem to be genuinely circling the drain career wise, and I would let them do so without ever mentioning them publicly.
That reality show and how they both dissed her would have been the last straw.
I don’t know any of them, but I don’t think she’s trying to appease anyone. Many of her fans dislike Leann’s behavior around the boys, but she’s always been honest and said the boys love her. It’s not something she has to say. I think Brandi adores her sons and their feelings guide her.
“Appease” was probably not the best way to convey what I am trying to say. I agree that Brandi is the only one in the triangle who gives credit to the other party. Yet the other two don’t ever give her the same respect. If anything, it seems to just give an opportunity for LeAnn to keep her martyr thing going.
I have watched people in my own life keep trying to play nice with others who treat them disrespectfully, and sometimes you just cannot win. Ignoring becomes the best option. I realize Brandi can’t ignore them because of the children, but publicly, I think she’d be better off to never give them any remotely positive mention whatsoever. It just gets thrown back in her face at some point.
Mmm, I can see what you’re saying. Maybe she’s coming to grips within herself, as opposed to being positive toward Leann? Knowing what Leann does and the way she sells Brandi’s kids’ images, but knowing they love her (right now, anyway), so she tries to compartmentalize things?
Agreed! This was fine! Leann favorites horrible tweets, it is really gross.
This was just a nice gesture and I’m all for it.
A bit OT, but can we discuss her ex’s new show being in limbo following a mere table read? WeWe is likely ecstatic, but there goes the income.
Karma is working, Ed isn’t.
OMG, Brin- bahahahahaha!
Karma does seem to come calling in its own sweet time. And I definitely think it has arrived for him. 🙂
Speaking of Eddie and his “work” (or should I say non-work), did anyone stop and think that with him NOT working, his skank wife has to pay the child support. So I guess I would add skanky to my prayer list too.
Wonder what the true scenairo is to the new show’s limbo–Did the people realize that Eddie can’t act? Did they realize that a lot of garbage comes with him in the cast? (Skanky does like to terrorize women who come into Eddie’s breathing space). Did Leaky pull some brown nosing stuff to some one on NBC’s staff to help to quash it so poor ole Edie would be available for her trip to London next month. No excuses now, Edie! Ahhh, mysteries in the wind…..
The child support thought did cross my mind. Maybe it’s a matter of keeping friends close and enemies closer. Who knows.
It would be interesting to know what led to the decision to delay the show for (allegedly) casting and / or writing changes.
I am a little dubious of the quality when one one as wooden as EC is hired. I have never made it through any episode or movie where he is cast. He just isn’t charismatic or believable enough to keep my attention.
@Christin–I agree with your assessment of his acting but I was really hoping the show would be a wild success just to get Leaky all pissed off and not able to have her paid hubby home prostituting himself and his sons just to get more money and vacays. She is such a chump! She’s being used in a big way. Everyone knows it but she refuses to believe it.
@Briargal – I get so confused by this neverending story (Falcor reference there). In WeWe’s mind, she probably does think she ‘won’ this round. Yet she really loses, doesn’t she, because at least he might be able to earn some money to help refill the coffers.
We’ve all said it before, it’s just hard to get in her mindset, but I have no doubt she feels victorious over this. Which might just tick off Mr. Ed, IF he actually wants to escape (I mean, work) for a little bit.
Andy is such a cutie!
I cannot believe that crap. She announces she’s praying, then in the snarkiest way possible tells you who she’s praying for — so she thinks we believe her to be sincere? And (assuming her religious beliefs are in the ballpark of Christianity)…..she thinks God thinks better of her? And will respond to her prayers accordingly?
SMH. I don’t know why — nothing this skank does ever surprises me at all — but this just seems over the top, ridiculously pat-myself-on-the-back, narcissistically pathetic.
I can’t abide this trollop.
Maybe she has learned this from the best at giving narcissistic comments. I think Brandi is concerned with the people she prayed for not what God thinks of her.
Interesting how these blogs notice that Brandi tweeted about praying for Leann and Eddie, but never notice that Leann is constantly tweeting to people who harass Brandi(Leann was having a tweetfest yesterday with one of the women who harasses Brandi) and spends her nights favoring the tweets of people who write nasty comments about Dean and Brandi.
There was a plane crash in which a man deliberately crashed a plane carrying over 100+ people, some of them children, so there was nothing wrong with Brandi tweeting the prayer.
Interesting how the blogs are being slammed with stories about Brandi is the bad guy for praying for Leann and Eddie instead of stories about how Eddie’s luck has led to another show being “postponed”.
Leann did set up a staged photo-op at Jake’s soccer game yesterday, she hired x17 and showed up in a belly shirt(no bra) and a skirt. It’s interesting that The Dailymail’s headline for Jake’s Sunday soccer game are how Brandi was being mean to Leann and Eddie at Jake’s soccer game. Is Leann planting negative stories about Brandi again?
