Kim Richards, a former child star who's stepping into the reality TV spotlight, got recommendation from an professional prior to she agreed to share her life with the world on The Real
Beverly Hills Housewives. Richards' niece is none other than Paris Hilton. She advice her just "to be yourself."
The issue with that guidance is that Hilton has constantly been unafraid to look vapid or foolish on television, and she couldn't care less what men and women assumed about her. Richards believed herself to be fearless too. But isn't it generally that way with Bravo's "Real Housewives" franchise? Individuals come on these shows expecting the greatest, only to wind up showing sides of themselves they'd rather maintain concealed, occasionally even from themselves. Richards said " I don't care what anybody thinks, I'm who I'm." But then, when some from the drama and conflict and humiliation and embarrassing moments came up, I considered, "Oh, my gosh, what have I carried out?"
"When push comes to shove, there were moments that I just assumed: 'Oh, I wish individuals just didn't see that. I wish we could redo that. I wish I could take that back.' But you cannot." So what will viewers learn about Richards when The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premieres at 9 p.m. Thursday?
They'll be reminded of her early stardom in TV's Nanny as well as the Professor and in Disney's Escape to Witch Mountain. Then they'll see how Richards, now in her mid-40s, retired young to raise 4 children. Then she'll be depicted as a flake who's reckless with cash and awkward in social situations.
And over the course with the season, she and younger sister/co-star Kyle Richards (also a former kid actress, whose credits include the original Halloween) will say things to each and every other that cut to the bone. "It's the most conflict we've ever experienced in our lives," Kim says. "To see where our relationship is at now, you'll need to tune in. But it really is some thing that is not going to repair itself quickly." The 4 other Housewives are Adrienne Maloof, Lisa Vanderpump, Taylor Armstrong and Camille Grammer. They all lead decadently posh lives in 1 of America's most exclusive ZIP codes, but one cannot assist but wonder how happy some of these ladies are.
Armstrong, for example, is desperate to hang on to her looks, by any means feasible, because she lives in abject fear that her rich husband will trade her in for a younger, prettier version. And then there's the sad story of Camille, wife of actor Kelsey Grammer, TV's beloved Dr. Frasier Crane. Their marriage fell apart during the course of filming the Actual Housewives season. Inside first episode, we witness warm, loving moments for Kelsey, Camille, their two children as well as the family dog. Then we see Kelsey leaving for New York and stardom in Broadway's La Cage Aux Folles. Future episodes will show the Grammers walking the red carpet soon after Kelsey is nominated for a Tony.
But in July, just weeks immediately after the Tony awards ceremony, Camille filed for divorce. And in August, it was revealed that Kelsey and his new girlfriend are expecting a child; she has since had a miscarriage. By season's end, it's probable that each from the Beverly Hills housewives will get a free pass for bad behavior inside the eyes of viewers, while Kelsey Grammer turns out to be the show's biggest villain. That's an ugly aspect of reality that men and women on Genuine Housewives shows never seem to find out coming until it is too late.
