Rodeo Drive divas

Life isn’t all diamonds and roses, but it should be. That’s the philosophy behind “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Bravo’s popular. aspirational shriekfest that proves high school can last beyond menopause. While most “Housewives” installments are embarrassing, this one has Lisa Vanderpump, the classy Brit with the tiny dog, Giggy. Lisa has a new house with a lot of pink furniture. The first visitor is Brandi, who is sleazy and wears evening gowns during the day. We also meet a new housewife, Yolanda, who’s married to music producer David Foster. The women coo and trade air-kisses and talk about the things they will buy and how they will get even with their detractors. The social events are an anniversary party for the Vanderpumps (don’t you love saying that?) and a birthday party for Kyle’s daughter, Portia, who is, besides Lisa V, actually appealing. There’s lots of drama to look forward to: a health scare for the Vanderpumps, a house fire for the Maloofs and lots of cursing by women with seriously bleached hair.
