That may have been part of it, Cricket, but I think she actually told Kyle that she needed her daughter here for what she was going thru right now Ohhh..I missed that part, Babyjaxmom. Yes, Kim might want a partner, but she needs to stand on her own two feet and show her daughters how to do it. I don't mind Kyle disagreeing with her, but she said that Kim depended on her children too much right in front of the daughter. I just see Kyle as being bossy to Kim (although Kim is needy) and as I said before...more mother than sister. Maybe Kyle has lost respect for Kim after going through dramas with her. On the other hand, Kim seems sensitive, so she probably wouldn't say the same things to Kyle were the situation reversed. I keep seeing the looks of shock on Kim's face when Kyle says things and I'm thinking....aren't you used to her by now, lol?

Gotta agree with you, Cricket. Kyle says the awful things only a sister can say and get away with. No one else would be forgiven so quickly. She does seem to take every opportunity to take digs at Kim, though. You're right about Kim needing to stand on her own. That seems to be when you find someone, when you've finally accepted your life the way it is and try to make the best of it. I thought it was kind of tacky how Lisa kept saying those things about Taylor's husband. He works hard to keep her in those $4500 jackets she wears. If he didn't work so hard, she wouldn't have so much money to spend on her frivolous lifestyle. Re: previews for next week: $50,000 for a "medium size" party? And a child's birthday party? Yikes! A lot of "normal" folks in this country don't make that in a year. Clueless much?

Yup, for most of us $50k would go a long way toward making our lives easier. Kind of obscene to see someone throw that much away on a kid's party (although I know it's not uncommon to see people spend far more in LA).

You know what the saddest thing is about all the women and their wasteful spending? They aren't better, smarter or prettier than any average woman; they seem to be clueless about the reality of our current times. I wouldn't even choose to be friends with any of them except for Lisa, whom I believe, with her husband, has worked hard for success.

Valid point, Cricket. You're right. And Adrienne. She seems to have worked hard for her success, too. I think her husband is cute, too. He obviously loves her.

I would love to be allowed to put to GOOD (and sensible) use the money those women WASTE in a week's time. It would completely change my life--for the better.

but if you take away the "price tags" you come away with a really sad feeling... or I do... the kids party - the nanny takes the birthday girl and swings her, simplicity - sweet - Mom - needs the limelight of that camera, standing on the table, etc etc... what is she missing in her life? Camille, that is so sad how often she mentions Kelsey, now knowing he left her for another woman (I know they think he didnt cheat on her... ok whatever - but its still sad to hear her thoughts before she realizes when its over, he's going to divorce her.

oy, I don't begrudge anyone with money to spend it however they want. But I would suggest that if you spend 50k or $50.00 on your child's birthday party that you consult her or at least know your child well enough to giver her a party she'd be comfortable with....basically know your child's likes. And if you want to give your child a necklace that will be special for her maybe it would be a nice idea to give it to her while you have a special private moment maybe when you are tucking her in and telling her how much you love her and all the special things about her....then maybe that necklace will be special to her. And what the heck was that special birthday song they sang- "you are as pretty as your mommy' was one of the lines, oy! Thank goodness she has a father that seems to have a better handle on their daughter. She didn't seem like a happy birthday girl! Camille, Camille, Camille. You are a silly girl. She went on and on and on and on about how busy she is but all I saw was her telling the staff what to do, that took maybe 15 mins? Delusional. What does she do that makes her so overwhelmed?

I guess what I think is funny/odd/weird is that the $$ they spent on the party would totally take me out of debt. But I think I lead a good life. Nice house, 3brdm 2 bath. Nice neighborhood, pool, kids, good hubby. Times are tough, but I love my life. I don't envy them the $$ they have nor do I begrudge them it either. It just means they have more stuff. But from watching these shows.. I think I am richer then them all.

I get that feeling, too, Terolyn. We got hit hard by the recession, but we still have our sweet little house, our sweet little boy, we're all relatively healthy. I see these women spending so much money and having so many material things, but do any of them seem really happy? Taylor and Camille seem to put the most importance on material things, and yet they seem the most unsatisfied. Reader, I too find myself feeling sorry for Camille, knowing what we all know now about her marriage to Kelsey. You might be rich, but your heart can still be broken.

Camille, Camille, Camille. You are a silly girl. She went on and on and on and on about how busy she is but all I saw was her telling the staff what to do, that took maybe 15 mins? Delusional. What does she do that makes her so overwhelmed? So right, Lilfair. Exactly what is "30% busier than others" when you don't actually do your own work...you have several employees to swing your children in a hammock; tell you how good you are and blah, blah, blah. She is the most fake person I've ever seen...her and Taylor. I have never actually seen Camille interacting with her children. Taylor was actually cute as a girl. Why does she think filling her upper lip makes her attractive? It makes her extremely unattractive. Her daughter's party was such a sham and I was laughing so much that she was mad her husband showed up. She is not a happy camper. I don't know how long they've been married, but it seems the only thing she likes about him is is money. Again, I felt Kyle was rude to Kim. Kim wasn't talking too fast..I heard everything she said. She was busy, but how dare she be busy when Kyle needed her. Kyle treats her so differently than she treats others. She's rude to Kim and then oh so nice to the stranger at the door, lol. I so wish Kim would just stay away from Kyle for a year to reflect on their relationship. Just maybe Kyle might appreciate her a bit more. I know Kyle went househunting and gave of her time and I don't know if the move could have been a different weekend, but usually you only have a day or two when real estate closes. You have to move that day.

We all know money doesn't buy happiness but it sure does give you financial peace of mind. And some of the most stressful situations are financial struggles...not knowing if you can make the mortgage payment, feed the kids, etc. However, I know tons of people that live within their means on the lower income scale and are happy happy happy. Vacations, clothing, parties, homes, cars does not make one happy, necessarily. I'm not sure why I am so weirded out by that 50k party. Maybe because it seemed that the little girl wasn't happy and that mom wanted the attention. It just grossed me out....not the cost of the party but the way Bravo made it seem that mom made the party without taking her daughters personality into account. sigh

Lilfair, for me it's because the party was more about Taylor than her daughter and the daughter waasn't even that happy during the party. Look at all the pics Taykor posed for with everyone but the birthday girl. I know these two obviously don't have respect or communication, but I still thought it hysterical that the little girl loved her new dog from her Dad and it usurped Taylor's $15,000-20,000 Barbie necklace. I think this daughter will end up closer to her Dad in the longrun. Just not sure Taylor really gets it.

Cricket, you must be reading my mind! That party was all about Taylor showing off and impressing her rich friends. No way, no how was that party for her daughter. Her daughter was not happy! She was overwhelmed. I read somewhere that you should only have one or two guests for every year of the child's life. We always tried to keep things low-key when DS was small (part of that was money, too). This past year (his 10th birthday) was the biggest we've ever gotten. We had 10 or 12 little boys who played video games and ate pizza and cake. He loved it. Except that he told me later it was too many people at once! Kids just want to play with their friends and their presents. They don't care about all the fancy stuff. Kyle's party was much more kid friendly with the petting zoo, the train and the bounce house. Also they had kid food. I was impressed to see Kyle actually making a PB&J sandwich for her own daughter, rather than having the "staff" do it. Lisa and Adrienne both seem genuinely engaged with their children too. Adrienne's boy's are a little wild, but they're boys and probably acting up for the cameras. I can't imagine having three boys!

I am sorry, but I do not feel the least bit sorry for Camille. The way she talks about all the houses they have and all the good they do with their money and she says that is what makes her feel good. What about spending time with her children, shouldn't that be what makes her feel good. Another thing that really made me mad, she is totally delusional when she said that she has spent the past 10 years keeping Kelsey sober.....sorry sweetie, you don't know squat about that, he has kept himself sober for the past 10 years and just maybe because of the way she is and spends is why they are getting a divorce....just a thought.

Agree with you there, CD. I caught that too. Nobody on earth can keep another person sober if they don't want to. Been there, done that. She is pretty full of herself. I felt bad for that other couple when she was talking about how much she had done for them like she was Mother Theresa or something. She doesn't spend much time with her children, does she?

Can you blame Kathy Hilton for keeping her distance from this show? She certainly doesn't need the paycheck.

We all know that Kim was a child star and was in "escape to witch mountain" We just finished watching "race to witch mountain" (2009) I was thinking gee that waitress looks familiar LOL I guess she played in the 2009 version of the same movie.

I think Kim totally thinks herself to be too much of an A-lister for this show. Has anyone else caught an air of that?

No, I don't get that at all from Kim. I think she's more insecure about herself. That's why she's so defensive about everything everyone says to her (although Kyle definitely is mean to her sister). She doesn't feel she measures up in some way. She never had friends or a normal childhood, so she never was able to develop those social skills. She really needs a good counselor.

I agree with Babyjax, I think Kim is super insecure. I just read the other day that her first husband was murdered. His family adores Kim, and I've read that she still has issues with it even though it was over 20 years ago or something like that.

Oh wow! That is sad. Losing a family member so suddenly (especially a spouse) is something you never really "get over." Hopefully, you can learn to live with it at some point, but it will always be painful on some level. I lost my older sister very suddenly in 1972. I don't cry about it anymore, but part of me still feels sad that I never really got to know her as a adult (I was 16 at the time, she was 24). You also feel sad about all that person has missed over the years. I didn't know that about Kim, Hukd. Thanks.

Huk'd, I recently saw an article that Kim's fiance died also. Kim looked like she was young and was so cute. Did she lose 2 men in her life? I decided to look up the birth order for these sisters, since their relationship is what it is. Kathy is 5 years older than Kim; who is 5 years older than Kyle. Not only that, but Kim is a Virgo and Kyle is a Capricorn. I'm shocked that the relationship isn't reversed, with Kim bossing Kyle around. However, because of the loss(es) in her life, maybe Kim just feels beaten down. I know there are many other facets in their astrological makeup, but I'm still blown away that Kim lets Kyle treat her that way.
