Kim Richards Is Ready For Her Comeback! Plus Kyle Richard Explains Why She Didn’t Defend Lisa On Reunion & Talks Paris Hilton!
Following her disastrous season on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the key question remains is Kim Richards planning to return to the Bravo hit series?
Well according to a new report today, Kim, who did a recent stint in rehab, is healthier than ever and ready for her comeback! Sources close to Kim tell Radar Online she has made great progress since leaving rehab in January. “Kim’s post-rehab transformation is awesome,” the source states. “Since she got out of rehab she’s stronger and spunkier.”
Even better for Kim, age 48, she has now cut off all times with former boyfriend Ken Blumenfeld, who some had described has being controlling. “Kim is single now, and she’s good being single,” the insider reveals. “She wants someone in her life who is going to be a positive influence, and so she’s going to stay single until she finds the right guy.”
And, while her family is reportedly begging her not to return to the RHOBH, the source reveals Kim would like to return to the show. “Kim wants to return for the next season. and while there are a lot of people around her telling her not to she really liked being on the show and being a Housewife.”
TAYLOR ARMSTRONG HAS SOME ADVICE FOR CHRIS BROWN RIHANNA!
Here’s to hoping if Kim does return, she’s sober and healthy. On one hand, I would like to see her return, especially to redeem herself following last season, but then again there’s always that risk of what if she relapses during filming. As we reported yesterday, filming on the new RHOBH seasons typically start during spring.
Moving on to Kim’s sister, Kyle Richards, who’s dishing on her niece Paris Hilton, the hardships of doing a reality show, and also the dramatic reunion in regards to why she didn’t come to Lisa Vanderpump’s defense, in a new interview with TheCWdc.com.
First Kyle, age 42, explains why the viewers have yet to see Paris on the RHOBH. “Paris was doing a show at the time,” explains Kyle. “There was a contractual thing that they weren’t allowed to come on our show and vice versa. Which we thought it would work out, cause its Oxygen and it’s all underneath the same umbrella, but they didn’t allow it.”
Kyle also adds that she now has a “newfound respect” for Paris who she turned to for advice on how to deal with the backlash that comes from doing a reality show. “Once I got into [reality TV], I turned to her and said I’m really having a hard time with this. I don’t think I can do this anymore. She said this should be a fun time in your life, good or bad you can’t listen to all things people say to you,” states Kyle.
Kyle goes on to talk about the dramatic season two reunion and why she failed to come to her “friend” Lisa‘s defense. “People were also really upset that I didn’t come to Lisa’s defense with the Adrienne situation about the radar online comment but I was in a very bad position. Because I am friends with all of them and Mauricio and I are very good friends with Adrienne and Paul. That’s the number one thing,” explains Kyle. Me thinks fans were also upset because at times, Kyle also appeared to join in on the attack.
Kyle continues: “And number two, Adrienne was not making it up that she was told that. Even though it wasn’t true, they (radar online) owe everyone an apology because it caused that whole thing. What was I going to do? I cannot get involved in every fight. I got a lot of comments from people asking why didn’t I step in? And the next week when I defended Taylor, people said why didn’t you stay out of it, it’s none of your business. You’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t in reality television. You can’t make everybody happy. I know who I am and that’s all that matters.”
And finally, Kyle describes being on a reality show as “very difficult.” She adds, “It is extremely bitter at times. It’s very difficult. If you would have told me it was difficult being on a reality show before I did this, I would think oh please, give me a break how hard could that be? But it is very difficult. People are judging you based on snippets of our lives and they’re not always privy to the back-story, which leads to certain things.” Even though they’re “snippets” they still tell a lot about who you are. Just sayin’ Kyle.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK IT’S A GOOD IDEA FOR KIM TO RETURN TO THE SHOW? THOUGHTS ON KYLE’S INTERVIEW EXPLANATION OF WHY SHE DIDN’T DEFEND LISA?
Michael Jackson’s Daughter Paris Plays Softball
It’s good to see that while her father Michael Jackson was one of the most famous musicians in the world, 13-year-old Paris Jackson is still able to maintain some sense of normalcy in her life. On Thursday, the athletic teen played in a softball game for the exclusive Buckley School in L.A. that she and her older brother, Prince, 14, attend, and whose famous alumni include Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. (The Jackson kids also have a 9-year-old brother named Blanket.) Paris was snapped stepping up to home plate for her turn at bat, waiting to catch a ball in the outfield, and even offering a supportive shout-out for her team taking part in a nearby soccer game.

But while her dad always wanted to keep her out of the spotlight, Paris seems determined to stay there. She plans to become an actress, a vocation she ironically chose because of her father, and has already been cast in the big-screen version of children’s book, Lundon’s Bridge and the Three Keys. “My dad was in the movie ‘Moonwalker’ and I knew he could sing really well, but I didn’t know he could act,” she revealed to Ellen DeGeneres on “Ellen” last month. “I saw that and I said, ‘Wow, I want to be just like him.’”

Before the movie, though, Paris is expected to make an appearance during yet another tribute to her legendary pop. She and her brothers will use Jackson’s signature sequined glove and his shoes to add imprints of his hands and feet to the collection at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on January 26.

Lindsay Lohan: A new beginning?
Image Credit: Jonathan Leibson/FilmMagic.com
Back when I first heard that Lindsay Lohan would be posing nude for Playboy, I was sad. It seemed a desperate act for a once-promising young star, a final appeal for fame from someone with no other options. It seemed this could be Lohan’s last hurrah, the last time her name would grace a magazine cover (at least, until some sort of tragedy struck). But now, just one day after her Playboy cover leaked on the Web, rocketing Lohan to the top of Internet searches, I’m realizing this could hardly be the end for Lindsay Lohan. This, in fact, could launch the beginning of an entirely new career for the Mean Girls actress.
Get your mind out of the gutter. I’m not referring to that kind of career. No, instead, Lohan could use this opportunity to transform from good-girl-gone-bad to bad-girl-gone-entertaining. In this day and age — when audiences can’t get enough of booze-fueled disastrous antics of the Jersey Shore cast — it’s not unthinkable that Lohan could carve out a fruitful career for herself as a professional train wreck.
Let me explain: I spent years hoping for a Lohan comeback, waiting for her to emerge from her legal and substance-abuse troubles and land an acclaimed role — and respect — via an indie film, or a notable director’s passion project. But, following theft allegations, several arrests, and her inability to hold onto a role (hello Inferno!), it seems less and less likely that we’ll ever see her reemerge as an in-demand, A-list movie star. She still could, however, reemerge as an in-demand, D-list star. If the past 10 years of television has proven anything, it’s that Americans love train wrecks as much as they love their freedom and Baconnaise. It’s why The Osbournes revolutionized television. It’s why The Bachelor is entering its 16th season. It’s why Paris Hilton was a tabloid cover girl before she did anything at all. It’s why Courtney Stodden is a thing that actually exists and… oh god, why do I care about her?! Playboy might seem like the nail in the coffin for Lohan’s career, but it could just be the directional change Lohan needs for audiences to accept her not as a sad burnout, but as a professional train wreck.
And, as we’ve seen with the Kardashians, “professional train wreck” is a career in Hollywood. Professional train wrecks star in reality shows. Professional train wrecks make cameos in terrible movies. Professional train wrecks host TV shows on tiny cable networks. And plenty of celebrities before Lohan have used Playboy to start that very type of career: After posing in the magazine, Shannen Doherty got a genius gig as the host of Scare Tactics, appeared on Dancing With the Stars, and starred in her own reality show, Breaking Up With Shannen Doherty; Denise Richards proved to be chuckle-worthy on Denise Richards Colon It’s Complicated; Debbie Gibson and Tiffany snagged steady paychecks starring in Syfy movies like Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus and Mega Piranha; and Pamela Anderson, the woman who paved the way for professional train wrecks everywhere, starred in the campy V.I.P., cameo-ed in Scary Movie 3, and even inspired an animated series, Stripperella.
Of course, it’s up to Lohan to make this type of career a plausible one. And it requires a personality trait that the actress could very well lack: Self-awareness. (After all, Lohan was still talking about her Oscars future this past April on Leno.) Ozzy Osbourne, Paris Hilton, Denise Richards, Pamela Anderson, and (I hope) Courtney Stodden are all mildly entertaining because they’re in on the joke. They understand that they’re viewed as disasters, and do everything in their power to give America the train-wreck entertainment they clamor for. Take away that self-awareness, and you have Anna Nicole Smith, another Playboy cover girl whose train-wreck life turned fatal.
But I hold high hopes that Lohan is savvy enough to follow the right path. And, more importantly, she continues to be a fascinating figure to audiences — love her or hate her, at least you feel something for her. We might be seeing more than we ever have of Lohan in Playboy, but should she decide to be just as revealing about her personal life — with a sense of humor about her image in tow — we might just start laughing with her, instead of at her. And that would be kind of fetch, wouldn’t it?

Courtney Love has claimed she is Lindsay Lohan’s sobriety coach.
Love has battled a high-profile addiction to drugs throughout her life. She is now clean and has decided to use her knowledge to help other people.
Lohan’s life has been troubled lately, characterised by trips to rehab and prison sentences. She is now trying to get her life back on track and Love has decided to help her.
“I’ve taken up Lohan because nobody else will. She’s further down the line than I was, because there was no [gossip website] TMZ then,” she told Details magazine.
Love didn’t reveal any more details of her relationship with Lohan, and the younger star has not yet commented on the report.
It’s not the first time Love has claimed she is helping Lohan.
Earlier this year, the 47-year-old singer gave an interview in which she alleged she’d helped a number of young stars through addiction and legal problems. She insisted Lohan once called her for advice after she was arrested, and even claimed she’d helped Kelly Osbourne after an alleged overdose.
“It wasn’t that long ago when Kim Stewart was screaming, ‘Courtney, what are we going to do? Kelly Osbourne is blue on the floor!’ Kelly wasn’t doing that well back then. For some reason, Kim Stewart also called me when Paris Hilton got pulled over for her last DUI. And Lindsay Lohan called me after she was arrested. The judge presiding over her case was the same judge who presided over mine. He was a very sweet man. I think he was an ex-alcoholic himself,” she told TheFix.com.
“I told Lindsay to just get it together and trust the judge, and Lindsay’s father called me for advice every day. I’m not even that friendly with these girls. What am I, a junkie Auntie Mame?”
