The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills two-part reunion may have concluded on Monday night, but we’re totally still talking about it at our water cooler. Care to join us?

Awesome – we’re glad to have you! And we have a very special friend who’s dishing on all the RHOBH drama: Alex McCord, reality TV correspondent and former NY Housewife. That’s right: Alex herself is sounding off on all the topics that had us on the edge of our seats (well, couches). For one, Paul Nassif’s exit interview. Alex is glad he had a chance to say goodbye, and so are we: that stuff about wishing his parents would have pulled the plug on their marriage kind of tugged at our hearts.

But perhaps the biggest OMG moment came from Kyle and Kim Richards. Alex calls their onscreen heart-to-heart “the most harrowing exchange” she’s ever seen on a reunion, and we agree.

As for Mauricio Umansky, he was certainly on defense most of the night, huh? Alex thinks he fended off Brandi Glanville best – and you’ll find out why.

And that brings us to everyone’s favorite bad girl: Miss Glanville herself. Can the bomb that Brandi dropped on Kyle somehow be healing? And what came out of her mouth – well, what didn’t? – that Alex finds truly “shocking?”

Watch the vlog, above, to find out. Then let us know whether or not you agree with Alex in the comments section below.

Alex McCord is back this week to weigh in on Monday’s episode of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and she’s not holding back.

She discusses the Housewives’ somewhat-dull trip to Paris, where husbands were officially invited to join for the first time in the show’s history.

McCord blames the husbands’ presence on the lack of drama and says that the women are “less prone to fighting” when their significant others are by their side.

The later half of the show focuses on Kim Richards’ wacky behavior – and whether or not she has fallen off the wagon.

While McCord is relieved to know that Richards’ admits to her sister that it was just a medication mishap and that she’s still focused on her sobriety.

Were you glad to know that Kim is still sober? Do you think the Paris trip was too drama-free? Weigh in below.

Watch Alex’s blog for last week’s episode below.

After a rough couple of years, which included battles with alcohol and a stint in treatment, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards says she’s focusing on the positive things in 2013.

In fact, she tells Celebuzz she’s now feeling “great.”

“This last year I’ve just really been focusing on sobriety and it’s been great. I would never want to lose the way I feel today. This is so amazing,” Richards — who entered rehab in 2011 — said in our exclusive video interview, above.

Getting to that point, however, was a struggle, especially when she first left treatment in 2012.

“There’s this thing they tell you that when you first get sober,” she said. “There are people who experience the ‘pink cloud.’ They come home and they’re like, everything’s great! I did not have the pink cloud. I came home and everything was a challenge for me.”

“I just thought everything was going to be the way I wanted it [to be], and I thought it was all going to be this way, because I was back. I was home,” she said. “And it just wasn’t like that.”

On the road to recovery, Richards says she faced struggles with her kids, as well as having to deal with the deaths of her uncle and dog of 17 years.

“Nothing was glorious and perfect as I thought it was going to be. I had a lot of work to do, and a lot of challenges.”

Now, though, Richards says she’s finally experienced her own version of the pink cloud, albeit in a different way.

“I feel like I’m almost glad I didn’t have that pink cloud [right away], because this year’s been a challenge; a lot of work. I feel like now, I woke up on 2013, and there’s my pink cloud. It’s there, and I worked really hard for it. It’s not a pink cloud; it’s not this, like, big pink poof. It’s more like, I worked for it, here it is, it’s come, and it’s like, “Ahh! It’s here!”

Meanwhile, Richards also had to face a number of issues with her sister and co-star, Kyle, which has unfolded throughout the series.

In a recent episode, she finally pulled Kyle aside to apologize for everything that has gone down between them over the years. To hear her thoughts on that conversation, watch the video, below.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Monday nights on Bravo.

With her new “official housewife” status, Brandi Glanville is settling into the drama on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Last season, Glanville joined the cast as a FOTH (or Friend of the Housewives), but this season, she’s a full-fledged “Real Housewife” — and she’s already getting into sparring matches. As any loyal RHOBH viewer knows, Taylor Armstrong isn’t Glanville’s No. 1 fan, especially this season, which Glanville told Celebuzz will “be cray cray all day.”

While it’s clear Glanville and Armstrong won’t be BFFs anytime soon, there’s still hope when it comes to patching up her relationship with the Richards sisters. In fact, the reality star said she and her former frenemy Kim Richards — who went to rehab earlier this year — are closer than ever.

“I’m rooting for her,” Glanville told us during a sit-down interview. “You get to know the real Kim [this season]. She’s a sweet woman. She’s a great mom, and she cares a lot about her kids. There are some ups and down between her and I, but I’m really rooting for her to stay healthy. I like her. I invited her to my birthday!”

But there’s one person who was begrudgingly added to her birthday list — Kim’s sister Kyle Richards.

“My problem with Kyle is that she talks behind people’s backs,” explained Glanville. “I don’t deal well with people who won’t say it to your face. That’s my issue with Kyle, because I really do like her. But, it’s what she says when I’m not in the room that bugs me.”

At least Glanville knows she can always rely on her BFF Lisa Vanderpump to tell her the truth.

“The great thing about Lisa is that she tells it like it is, and I really respect that,” she said. “She’s not going to say anything behind my back that she’s not going to say to my face.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Mondays at 9 PM on Bravo.

In her first post-rehab interview, Kim Richards reveals why she landed in treatment and how she’s fighting to stay sober. The interview airs during the third part of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion (on Feb.13), and Life & Style spied an exclusive first look. In the interview, the 47-year-old speaks to Andy Cohen about checking herself into the Betty Ford Center for alcoholism and substance abuse in early December.

“I just didn’t like me anymore,” she says. “I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror.”

Kim admits that she’s had a long battle, saying, “I’ve struggled with it, and I’ve been working on it for a while. I am a person who has done it and relapsed and done it [again].”

When she thinks back about what landed her in rehab, she says, “I had so much guilt and shame for my behavior…then I drank to cover the guilt and shame and make it go away. It’s a vicious cycle.”

She’s getting support from her sister Kyle and making strides at a sober life. “At least I’m trying,” Kim says. “I’m really trying.”

Will the child star turned Real Housewife of Beverly Hills be donning her dancing shoes for this season of Dancing with the Stars? A source close to the ABC show tells Celebuzz that Kim Richards has been practicing her shimmy shake for TV!

We hear the mother of four has been rehearsing her moves in the studio and could be in the lineup when the cast is announced next week. After what she says has been a rough year, it looks like she’s on the road to a resurgence and recovery! 

Kim, who stars on RHOBH with her sister Kyle Richards, is a former child star who appeared in numerous Disney films such as Escape to Witch Mountain. She also appeared on a slew of TV shows such as Dukes of Hazzard and The Love Boat. She is also aunt to Paris and Nicky Hilton.

Although it was uncertain if she would return to Housewives this year, it was recently announced that she and Kyle would both be back for season two. Maybe Kim will be adding yet another TV show to her lengthy resume! 

The entire cast will be announced this coming Monday, August 29 during Bachelor Pad on ABC.

The ladies of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills recently stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show, on an episode that will air Wednesday, and from Kim Richards‘ noticeable absence to Camille Grammer‘s much talked about divorce, nothing was off limits.

When Ellen brought up the fact that Kim had not joined the group on the show, sister Kyle Richards chimed in:

I think she doesn’t really like to be around this crowd that much. I think she’s a little gun shy right now.

Kyle then mentioned she was unsure whether Kim would be around for season two, if the show gets picked up.

As for Camille’s and Kelsey Grammer‘s never-ending divorce drama, the almost ex-wife used the word “crazy” a number of times to describe the whole situation.

Ellen also asked Adrienne Maloof about calling 911 the day of Charlie Sheen‘s now infamous hospital (and subsequent rehab) trip. Check out Adrienne’s response after the jump:

Yes, it was early in the morning and a woman on the phone was saying that she needed to talk to my husband. And I said, “Well, who is this?” and she said she was calling about Charlie Sheen. And I knew at that time it must have been something important because it was about 5 in the morning. So my husband got on the phone and the woman was saying that he had stomach cramps. Bad stomach cramps and she’s not really sure what’s going on. So what he did was say, “You gotta call 911 right away.” And he hung up the phone and he just thought that he wanted to make sure that 911 gets there and that’s what he did. He called 911. Charlie’s been a good friend of ours for years. They got married at our house, Brooke and Charlie, so we were there for him.

The drama was in full force on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills this week, and a blowout inside a limousine between sisters Kyle and Kim Richards eventually led to Kim checking herself into rehab.

As the two argued in a limo, Kyle tore into Kim about her alleged alcoholism, yelling: “You are a liar … you are an alcoholic! Yeah, that’s right. I’ve said it now and everybody knows.”

The heated exchange came after weeks of tension on the show between the two, who are half-sisters with Kathy Hilton. By the end of the show, her family had checked her into rehab for treatment, which Kim left a week later.
