The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills premiered on Bravo tonight and the six stars of the show stopped by The Grove earlier to speak with Mario Lopez of Extra. Mario called the cast onto the stage by introducing them as, “The naughtiest, richest, cattiest Housewives ever!”
Mario followed up by giddily admitting: “I’m a real fan of the franchise; it’s my guilty pleasure!”
Who are these newly-crowned Housewives?In a nutshell: Two are Paris Hilton’s aunts (Kyle and Kim Richards). Then we have a British restaurateur (Lisa Vanderpump-Todd), a wife of a venture capitalist (Taylor Armstrong), actor Kelsey Grammer’s (almost) ex-wife (Camille Donatacci Grammer) and a tycoon (Adrienne Maloof-Nassif whose family owns the Las Vegas Palms Hotel and Casino).
Kim and Kyle Richards, Paris Hilton’s aunts said of Paris: “She was always beautiful, she had big dreams since she was little.”
Mario asked the cast, “What is the biggest myth about Beverly Hills and the people that live there?” Kim Richards answered: “Basically, even though we live in Beverly Hills, we are like other people as well. We have children, we have businesses, we have careers, were are soccer moms.” Others added in: “We are housewives and we are very real.”
When asked who their celebrity crushes are: Kyle named Mark Ruffalo, Kim named George Cloony, and Adrienne said, “I would have to say Mario Lopez!” Lisa surprised all by saying: “Mine was gonna be Geroge Clooney but now it’s gonna be Kelsey Grammer,” to which Kelsey’s wife Camille said, “You can have that one.” And it wasn’t even awkward I swear.
