Have Mercy...

The last thing Los Angeles needs, kittens, is another couple of narcissistic reality show strivers to pull into town like a damn traveling circus. However, according to gossip juggernaut TMZ, that's just what's going to happen when The Real Housewives of Washington, D.C.'s Michaele Salahi and her slippery hubby Tarek relocate to the West Coast in order to further their "budding entertainment careers."

Can you see Your Mama rolling our eyes?

The folks at TMZ report today that the (melo)drama magnets are in the final stages of securing the lease on a $20,000 per month mansion in Beverly Hills where they can bring up (surrogate) baby. (More uncontrollable eye rolling). We simply can't be bothered to look up the details but from what we can see from listing photos the house–a kind of Palladian-influenced Neoclassical Federal-Colonial–sits nestled into a steep hillside. In front a circular drive sweeps across the front of the house where a pair of lions guard the double-height porch. In the rear a wide brick patio wraps around a rectangular dark-bottomed swimming pool. Amid the thick foliage on the hillside a dramatically lit waterfall adds a pretty but incongruous air of a tropical resort hotel to an otherwise very traditional house.

Knowing these two troublemakers are in town makes Your Mama want to stay inside 24/7. That is until we recognize we're unlikely to frequent–or crash–the same sorts of parties and events as Mister and Missus Salahi who, bless their hearts, will no doubt attempt to immerse themselves with an embarrassingly ravenous fervor into the moneyed intersection between Hollywood and the high-brow charity circuit scene in the Platinum Triangle.

Is the queen of all reality tee-vee Andy Cohen over at Bravo going to pull a fast one and re-hire Miz Salahi for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? We don't know nuthin' about that, butter beans, but stranger things have happened, stranger things have certainly happened.

Oh wait, here's the update. Mister Cohen reportedly rejected the Salahi's efforts to be cast on the Bev Hills edition of The Real Housewives... Whatever will they do now?

OH LORD. YOU can HAVE them. We were sick to death of hearing about them years ago.

I have driven past that house for years. I would never have guessed that they had that big a pool area in the back.

The Beverly Hills Housewives will eat her alive...we can only hope.

Andy Cohen said he's not interested. Thank goodness.

Mama, I think you're right about Ms. Salahi joing TRHOBH...Russell Armstrong committed suicide, and that may get rid of Taylor. Who knows?!?!

Andy Cohen has already given them a big ol' NO.

It is horrific to think that a producer would be looking at a tragedy such as Mr. Armstrongs for potential slot opening in the show, as Anonymous 12:46 suggests. But if it were to happen, Cohen would be the one to do it. If anyone would possibly think that these peoples miserable lives(with some exceptions)are to be coveted, surely this should make them think again.

The house looks perfectly acceptable from the outside if only one would de-dramatize the front door that is ugly.

Where the friggidy fraggedy did their broke bodies get the cheddar to afford $20k per month in rent or better yet who is dumb enough to foot the bill?

I'm pretty sure the exterior of this house has been used as a location in a number of films...

O screw all these talentless no-hoper karDOHshian types. Jeez who watches this sh*t anyway ? It's annoying the come across the names let alone know that these people are taking up useful space, otherwise available for a very good eco-friendly trash door mat. Please, can we just ignore them and hope they will all go away. Or die ?
