TV Buzz “When's the book come out, anyway? How long has it been?” That's what Brandi Glanville asked Taylor Armstrong on tonight's second installment of Bravo's “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion. “It” is the suicide of Armstrong's husband, Russell. “The book” is about “it.” Here's video of the tense exchange between Armstrong (plus Kyle Richards) and Glanville from which the quote was taken.
TV Buzz “I'm about to go ghetto on you, giiiirl!” Six-year-old Mountain Dew and Red Bull-addicted beauty queen Alana, daughter of “Coupon Queen” June and nicknamed “Honey Boo-Boo Child” by America after her infamous “Toddlers & Tiaras” episode, was featured on “Dr. Drew's Lifechangers” today. And boy oh boy was it life-changing!
TV Buzz “She shouldn't belittle others—that's my job.” So said coach Abby Lee Miller on tonight's “Dance Moms” after the new girl, Peyton (and her insufferable mother), said she did a better job than her teammates at a group dance competition. So when they lost, Miller went for the jugular.
Mee-wow! Tonight, Bravo aired the first of its three-part “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion special. The hour's most notable moment came during a heated confrontation between Adrienne Maloof and Lisa Vanderpump, during which Maloof accused a defiant Vanderpump of selling stories to tabloids like Radar Online. Here's what you missed.

TV Buzz “What's the difference between looking sexy vs. slutty?” “Labia?” The three-part (yes, three) RHOBH reunion special doesn't kick off until Monday, but those who can't wait four whole days may relish in the drama—including a one-on-one with Andy Cohen and Kim Richards, during which she states, “I'm an alcoholic”—now by watching this just-released trailer.

I'm rich!” To celebrate tonight's “Toddlers & Tiaras” season finale, TLC just released a behind-the-scenes video of the show's best contestant ever, Alana, as she prepared for an upcoming appearance on “Dr. Drew's Lifechangers.” It's amazing, obviously, so I turned the best parts into 10 animated GIFs, which you'll find below (along with the video).
TV Buzz “I don't want to be married anymore.” On tonight's “Kourtney & Kim Take New York,” the girls were helped by phony psychic John Edward to kommunicate with their late father. But it was Edwards' divorce-related statements that stuck with Kim long after he left, kausing her to make a tearful konfession to Kourtney that her marriage to Kris Humphries was as done as Humphries is dumb.

How erratic was Kim's behavior? Check out my two-minute highlight reel to see for yourself.
TV Buzz “No, Kim, it's not normal.” On Sunday's “Kourtney & Kim Take New York,” Kim Kardashian and mom Kris Jenner visited Dubai for a store opening. It was great!
