Russell Armstrong's Memorial

Reality Tea


Taylor Armstrong invited all of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to Russell's memorial service a couple weeks ago, according to RadarOnline.  It's good to see they all recognize how their drama is really unimportant when it comes to important real life matters.

A Radar source explained, "A lot of thought and consideration went into Taylor's decision to invite the entire cast. In the end, Taylor didn't want to exclude anyone, and even though she doesn't get along with all of them, Taylor wanted them there. The girls have been very supportive to her throughout this entire tragedy. Taylor needs her friends around her more than ever," a source close to the situation said.

The source also explained why Kennedy, Taylor's 5 year old daughter with Russell, along with his two sons from a previous relationship, did not attend. "Taylor doesn't think it's in Kennedy's best interests to go to the memorial. It's very hard to grasp as a 5-year-old, and given the way in which Russell died, well, Taylor doesn't want Kennedy to accidentally overhear someone talking about Russell's suicide. Taylor is protecting Kennedy, period. This little girl has been through enough with her parent's divorce, and now having to deal with her dad's death," the insider says.

The memorial took place, Wednesday August 24 at Forest Lawn Memorial Parks & Mortuaries in Hollywood at 3pm PT. Lisa Vanderpump, Adrienne Maloof-Nassif and husband Dr. Paul Nassif, attended along with Kyle and Kim Richards. The funeral was not filmed. Russell's body was cremated, and his ashes were divided between Taylor and Russell's parents.

Kyle Richards is gearing up for the new season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills debuting this Monday, September 5.  While Taylor Armstrong is still grieving, the other stars are left to carry the promotion load.

Kyle spoke with Breezy Mama about whether she still wants another baby, her relationship with her sister Kim, and her relationship with frenemy Camille.

Are you excited for Season 2 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to start? 

I am excited for the show to start. I’m anxious, but excited.  

Was there anything that came out of the first season that you were surprised about?  

I was surprised how time consuming it is and I thought the problems with my sister – I can hide that… nobody will be able to tell. But once the cameras were there I was just myself and everything was out there. 

Were you surprised at how open you got?  

Yes and no. I’m an open person and I really do wear my heart on my sleeve, but the stuff with my sister – she likes to bury it all… so I was surprised it got to the level it did. I didn’t want it to get to that point. 

What can we expect in Season 2 with your sister? 

We started to make amends after Season One. By Season 2 we’re okay. We’re still a work in progress throughout the show. We have our moments. We’re probably always going to clash, but we’re sisters. We’re very different. 

What about with Camille? 

Camille and I are much better. We’re in a good place right now. We’re actually having fun together [laughs]. 

Did you expect The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to be such a success? I mean, it’s GOOD! And, well, The Real Housewives of Washington is already gone… 

Well, you know, I think people were expecting Beverly Hills to be fake phony people because it is Beverly Hills and I think they found that these are real people, with real problems. It doesn’t matter where you live, or what your zip code is or what kind of car you drive, at the end of the day we all have the same problems and it’s all very relatable… even though it’s Beverly Hills.

The 5'2 actress goes on to say she would love another baby, and is jealous that the interviewer just had twins.  To find out what Mauricio thinks, continue reading Exclusive! Kyle Richards Talks More Babies, Kim, Camille and Reality.

This season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is definitely gonna bring the drama. The trailer alone was full of screaming matches, sobbing women, and even a physical altercation. Through all the madness, housewife Adrienne Maloof has managed to stay out of it and remain the resident peacemaker of the group. But Adrienne has some words to say about one of the newest additions to the cast.

While Brandi Glanville, Eddie Cibrian's ex, isn't an official housewife, she definitely makes her way into the heart of the drama. In the trailer we see her get into it with Kim Richards and even threaten to kill her. We know those are just words and in the heat of the moment, but Brandi is proving the be one of the feistiest members of the show.


Adrienne talked to Us Weekly about the upcoming season,  saying, "Season 2 is going to knock your socks off". She also says Brandi is like adding a child into the mix, because she has no filter and says whatever is on her mind. This just sounds like a recipe for disaster.  At the very least, it's the recipe for a housewife.  At this rate, Brandi will be promoted from "Housewife Friend" to official housewife in no time.  If she can be a NeNe Leakes or a Ramona Singer, she's in!

The fate of the show is up in the air following the suicide of Russell Armstrong.  Bravo is reportedly re-editing the show to remove Russell from the footage.


The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will air on Mondays at 10pm on Bravo whenever Bravo plans to premiere it.
