LynnNChicago Watch What Happens Live Oct 28, 2010

LynnNChicago   Watch What Happens Live  Air Date Oct 28, 2010
Host:     Andy Cohen
Guests:                Lisa Vanderpump
                             Nate Berkus  aka Oprah's Main Gay Man
Andy seemed less anxious and nervous tonight, he started out by revealing the poll question asking who was the hottest Beverly Hills husband.  I know how you all find Kelsey Grammer hot hot hot but sorry ladies, he didn't win.  Kyle's husband took top prize.   

The show was light and fun, Lisa seems to be a natural for television and Andy revealed why in his three thing's that he's obsessed with this week.  
Lisa was a member of the cast of the old show "Silk Stalkings" and Lisa reacted as if mortified but really wasn't all that sorry that Andy broke the news to viewers.
Andy's second obsession was Atlanta's Phaedra Park's baby shower hosted by Dwight, Cohen agreed with the majority of us, it was Da-Weird adding, "isn't there an easier way to get a diaper genie?"  Good one Andy!
Finally Andy used his third obsession to plug his upcoming appearance on The Women of Saturday Night Live which will air this coming Monday on NBC.  Andy is spoofing his own reunion shows as the ladies of SNL transform into one of the housewives and reenact a reunion episode.  It should
be funny!  
Throughout the episode they revealed a Housewives Scary Moment, marked by the lights going down and strobe lights flashing with thunder sounds creating that cheap haunted house feel. Following this moment, Andy threw a clip of a housewives episode that he considered scary.  Surprisingly not one glimpse of Kelly Bensimon was anywhere to be found.  I guess Andy was going for "funny" scary rather than truly mind blowing scary. 
The Watch What Happens Live team came up with four different Housewives scary scenes starting with Taylor of Beverly Hills getting big ole welts when her temples were injected by Adrienne's husband and plastic surgeon.   Nope, not scary but definitely creepy!
The others included Ramona from New York's walk down the runway, Kim G of New Jersey's butt crack on the stripper pole and also from New Jersey, Danielle's revealing her breasts to a plastic surgeon with the crackerjack WWHL crew putting photos of Dina's ugly cat Grandma Wrinkles face
over each breast.  I didn't find that funny when they did it the first time and it was even less funny tonight.  
Adding to the fun was Lisa's dog being dressed in several different Halloween costumes throughout the broadcast, opening the show as a hot dog then changing into a panda, a bumble bee and finally Teresa Giudice.  That dog is way too cute to ever be mistaken for Teresa Giudice.  The little dog really did look like he'd been drugged, no matter what they did to him, he fell right back to sleep on his mama's lap.
I'm not sure why Nate was there, he definitely took a back seat to Lisa and her little dog but he was asked about who's decor he liked best out of the New York ladies.  Before choosing his favorite, he immediately said, "NOT Jill's!"  Which I found hysterical!  The only ones who do like Jill's decor is Jill and her gay BFF, Brad...whatever happened to Brad?  Do you suppose he's locked in the basement of
Zarin Fabrics wading through all her freebies?  With Andy's prodding, Nate chose Luann's decor as his favorite.
Andy's Mazel and Jackhole of the week get more ridiculous every week, he chose an author of a book he just read for his Mazel, and an old TV show, Good Times as his jackhole, why?  Who knows, he talks about the fact that they bound Janet Jackson's breasts for the show trying to keep her looking younger.  I'm sure that wasn't the first or last time that happened.  He really needs to put more thought into these or lose them altogether!
Maybe we just don't know the Beverly Hills housewives well enough yet but there aren't really too many questions that needed to be asked yet so we got some lame ones about how she knows Latoya Jackson and how she can be so rich by owning just two restaurants.   Nothing of much interest.  
Lisa explained that there is more to her investments than just the two current restaurants she owns and even Andy wanted more information on Lisa's wealth.  She also explained that Latoya Jackson is a frequent guest to her restaurant and that Kyle and Kim Richards grew up being friends with the Jackson family.
That being said, Lisa did make a good guest, she was fun and open but I have to say that Nate added very little causing me to wonder why he was even there.  ________________________________________________________________
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
I found the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episode a lot of fun but it was sad watching Kim alone
in her hotel room and even felt a bit sad for Taylor watching her face as her husband informed her he'd be spending a portion of their weekend working.  
If we learn anything from the Beverly Hills ladies, it is that money certainly can't buy you happiness as the only two couples that seem completely happy is Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump.  
Complete recap on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will be posted tomorrow.

Jill Zarin just can't stay out of the news, her latest fiasco
posted by The Smoking Gun:
We’re not sure what’s more troubling:
That a public university pays “Real Housewife” Jill Zarin $15,000 to address
collegians, or that she is referred to as “artist” in her appearance contract.
  
  
  
The "Real Housewives of New York" cast member appeared before a tiny crowd last
month at the University of South Florida to talk about who knows what and sign
copies of her book “Secrets of a Jewish Mother” (currently Amazon ranking:
284,686). Zarin’s appearance contract, excerpted above, guaranteed her the 15 grand,
accommodations in a hotel suite, and a $100 per diem. Airfare for the
46-year-old Zarin (whose corporate alter ego is "JBZ Enterprises,
LLC") was also covered by the school.
By comparison, Meghan McCain, daughter
of Senator John McCain, only banked $11,300 for a USF “lecture” last Wednesday.
Next month, the school is shelling out $15,000 for comedian/”Daily Show”
contributor Aasif Mandvi to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the “REAL Fake
News.”
At least had we heard that Zarin donated this money to charity, it would have been a bit more acceptable but wouldn't this money be better spent by the university helping students who need help paying for their education?
