Kim Richards Fired From ‘RHOBH’ Enters Psychological Disorder Treatment Facility As for who else will return for season six, most of the women are expected to come back but it’s not known if Kim’s sister Kyle Richards is among them.

But for Kim, at 50, this is not the first time in rehab. Richards’ last treatment experience followed arrests for public intoxication and battery on a police officer.

The coach quit as the intoxicated Richards swore violent at Brooke’s new husband. “[Kim was] a mess,” confirmed multiple insiders of theHousewives of Beverly Hillsreality TV star. Although Richards’ rehab treatment center had provided her with a pass to go to the wedding, she was supposed to head back on Memorial Day. She did not do so, and the sober coach, when she found she could not manage Kim, abandoned the situation after the wedding ceremony. Now that she’s in a treatment facility again, can Kim look forward to returning to the world of reality TV? Only for a cameo, but not as a series regular onReal Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
“She’s doing OK, a lot better than she had been,” an insider said about Richards’ situation now that’s in treatment. It is not known if Richards has been informed that she is fired, or how long she will stay.

Cindy Brady Actress On Drug Dealing Rumors
S
usan Olsen who played Cindy on “The Brady Bunch” was an illegal pot grower. The 53-year-old actress told news. com.au that she and her thenhusband grew it hydroponically. “I have never really enjoyed smoking it, it makes me paranoid,” she said. “But it was my husband’s idea. It was really fascinating and I’ve always been into ‘gardening’ and it’s such a complicated, wonderfully fascinating plant. “But that was one of the reasons why I did leave my husband,
because it just bothered me too much that we were doing something so illegal.” Olsen also revealed that she and Mike Lookinland who played Bobby used to kiss in the doghouse when they were nine and that they were paid very little for the show. “We even had to pay for our own parking in the first season,” she remembers. “They wouldn’t let us drive onto the lot. We earnt very, very little.”
The ex-child star confirmed that Eve Plumb (Jan Brady) and Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady) do not get along at all. “I think it’s kind of petty,” she says. “From day one with these two I have always been in the middle and now it’s at the point where there isn’t even a desire to communicate through me. “It’s all really petty, but if your feelings get hurt when you’re really young, some people carry it with them. Or maybe to them, moving on means moving away.”

Rihanna Scraps HighlyAnticipated ‘R8’ Album For A Totally New Different Sound
R
emember the singles that Rihanna released earlier this year? The three singles that supposedly were going to be on her upcoing? Well, those singles are just promo singles, until she releases three actual singles off her actual new album. Whenever that’s happening. After critics slammed RiRi for the lackluster sales of “FourFiveSeconds,” “B***h Betta Have My Money,” and “American Oxygen,” the singer may change her mind and declare those songs to besingles. That means those singles won’t be listed on Rihanna’s highly anticipated. They’re just promotional singles for the actual singles she’ll choose for her forthcoming album. Arelease from Chileshared the details of Rihanna’s actual upcoming album. “Rihanna comes to our country to promote his eighth album, tentatively unpublished and ‘R8’, which should go on sale this year and which has generated high expectations and good reviews thanks to three promotional singles would be called: ‘American Oxygen’, ‘B***h Better Have My Money’ and ‘FourFiveSeconds’, the

latter in collaboration with Kanye West and Sir Paul McCartney.” Apparently, RiRi has scrapped her previous, which she claimed she worked on for almost two years. She wants to go in a different direction, yet again! The performer is desperately searching for musicians and producers to work with. Maybe she should ask disco and EDM icon Girgio Mordoer who just released his new album titled,Déjà Vu. The legendary hitmaker, 75, says he’s not collaborating with the sizzling performer yet, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to! Moroder believes that Ri could pull of an extremely sexy song like Beyonce’s “Blow,” “Partition,” and “Rocket.” “Beyonce did a short version of it in ‘Naughty Girl,’ but I think the girl who could REALLY deliver it is Rihanna. She is SO sexy and if she ever asks me to write a sex song that may be different, maybe not with moaning but a different style, I am more than happy to do it. She’d be perfect for a REAL sex song.” That might not mesh well with Ri’s dancehall sound. Rihanna is working hard to create some catchy music on her newR8album. She’s hoping to work withMavado, Popcaan and Vybz Kartel, according to a report viaUrban Islandz. Sources told the hip-hop site that RiRi’s management has reached out to both Popcaan and his mentor Vybyz Kartel. “I know for sure that Rhianna’s people have reached out to Popcaan and Vybz Kartel people to record some music, and I’ve been told that she might be flying down to GeeJam studio during the summer.” Sources also say that Rihanna has reached out to a large number of dancehall artists, such as Busy Signal and Mavado. “Maybe they are just vetting to see which dancehall artists she wants to work with or maybe she wants to record more than one dancehall flavored single.”

And the Truth Will Set You Free ... Kaitlyn Blast Marriage To Chris Jenner “The first 15 years I felt she needed me more because I was the breadwinner. Then really around the show, when that hit and she was running the whole show and getting credit for it and she had her own money, she didn’t need me as muchthat standpoint ... I think in a lot of ways she became less tolerant of me. A lot of times she wasn’t very nice. People would see how I got mistreated. She controlled the money, all that kind of stuff.” --Caitlyn JennerherJenner, and it does sound like there was a bit of dissension in the ranks, so to speak. We’re not surprised, per se -- Kris Jenner has always been a “strong” personality -- but we are surprised at the fact that Caitlyn’s being so candid about the entire marital affair. It’s refreshing to see a Jenner/Kardashian being so open and honest, despite any backlash that one might see from the rest of their tight-knit family. Caitlyn said, however, that she’s got no secrets ... and we’re not through praising her up and down just yet, y’all -- this is only going to get better and better, it seems.

Your memories could bring up unexpected anger that prevents you from swiftly processing your emotions. Don’t be so judgmental if you aren’t living up to your own ambitious expectations.

Why didn’t you take a better route?I notice my thoughts.-oh, I think.I go, criticizing myself again.of berating myself, I think through the situation and tell myself it’s no big deal. What’s 10 minutes one way or the other? But when I arrive late, as I’d expected to, and look around the room at the faces of the people who are gathered, I realize why I was so stressed. I wasted their time. And that’s disrespectful. For me, it’s not so much about being punctual or tardy; but rather, it’s about being considerate of people I care about. I want to honor my commitments and my relationships. And those are things I value. So, I offer a sincere apology, without the buffer of some trumpedup excuse (a tactic I’ve resorted to in the past). The tension in the room lifts, everyone smiles, I feel good about owning my bad behavior and relieved that I’ve been forgiven. The incident reminds me of something I read about gratitude and social interactions in Dr. Robert A. Emmons’s book,!; so, when I return home, I flip through it and find this: “Naikana practice of selfreflection that can help us ‘see the reciprocal quality of relationships.”’ Emmons quotes Gregg Krech, who wrote: Gratitude, Grace, and the Japanese Art of SelfReflection: “If we are not willing to see and accept those events in which we have been the source of

I think about where the grace in my life comes from, the true blessings -- and notice that it’s mostly from other people; the friends and family who give my life meaning, of course, and the many nameless people I interact with during the day: the guy who lifted my carry-on bag into the overhead bin on the plane not long ago, the little boy who ran after me to return the car keys I’d unknowingly dropped while walking down the street. Even the drivers who give way so I can exit the freeway when I need to. To fulfill my intent to be there for friends and family, and the many strangers I come in contact with, I need to be grateful not only for the gifts they provide me, but also conscious about both the gifts I provide them and the ways in which I wound them, anger them and disappointment them. It’s a tall order. One I can’t hope to perfectly fill. But the idea of seeing my interactions in the context of mutual support and gratitude strikes a chord deep within. We all have so many things to be grateful for, but they’re often the last things we think about. I believe we should try to think about these things every day. What are you grateful for? What are the small things you take for granted that make your life special, more vibrant and more magical -- or just plain easier? This adapted excerpt was taken fromLiving With Intent: My Somewhat Messy Journey to Purpose, Peace, and Joyby Mallika Chopra.

ew rumors are claiming that Ryan Gosling is not a fan of George Clooney at all. According to these reports, Gosling despises Clooney’s womanizing ways and would never work with him again.
Although this alleged feud occurred four years ago, Clooney, who tends to befriend everyone he works with, left such a bad impression that even now, Gosling says he would never work with the actor.
Celebdirtylaundry.comthat ever since Gosling and Clooney met on the set of “Ides of March” in 2011, Gosling “can barely stand to share oxygen with him.” Life & Style Magazine added that while on set, Clooney’s wild frat-boy antics and his womanizing ways left Gosling unimpressed.
Since then, however, both stars have gone through life-changing experiences. Clooney, known as Hollywood’s number one bachelor, tied the knot with human rights attorney, Amal Alamuddin. Reports are claiming that since getting married, Clooney has left his old ways behind and is now very serious about his relationship and commitment to his wife.
Ryan was disgusted with George’s antics. He felt George would talk nonstop about things like friends picking up prostitutes, and vowed that he would never hang out with him. He sees himself as a family man, not a frat-boy like George,” the magazine reported.

Kelly Rutherford’s lawyer claims ex falsified an email about his visa
T
he mess that is Kelly Rutherford’s custody battle developed a new wrinkle Thursday when the actress’ lawyer alleged Rutherford’s ex, Daniel Giersch, falsified the email in which he claimed to have had his visa revoked in 2012. That alleged revocation led to the former couple’s children being sent out of the United States to live with their dad, who is a citizen of Germany. Wendy Murphy stated “We brought to the California court’s attention for the first time today, the fact that a fraudulent email purporting to be sent to the children’s father by the U.S. Embassy in Berlin was submitted to the court in 2012 to justify the California court’s initial decision to make the children leave the United States and reside abroad. “It is abundantly clear that the document is not authentic as it is signed by the ‘US Consulate in Berlin’ and there is NO consulate in Berlin –- there is only an embassy,” Fahi Takesh Hallin, who is representing Giersch in the proceedings, dismissed the allegation, saying “As our papers filed today indicate, the visa revocation was unfortunately very real.” Rutherford wasgrantedsole custody of the children
