While looking for an item re Lisa Vanderpump and her disdain for Adrienne Maloof, came across a key player in the RHOBH and the RHOC franchises…
But, first… a brief interlude… let’s take a look back at the RHOBH, season two! It looks as though Brandi has replaced Shana as LisaVPump’s pet project! AND, it’s quite obvious from Shana’s phone call to Kyle/Kim that her character’s weakness for alkee-holl has not changed from last season to this season!
Back to the RHOBH/RHOC key player!
This tweeter is not at the level of Carlos King; however, still a VIP (very important playa) in the “reality” show realm. NOTE: If you were unaware of Carlos King, there will be more info re CK at the bottom of this H&R!
Everybody knows… said like Phaedra Parks, of course!… that there are many people behind what is shown on “reality” shows… who make what is seen by viewers “real!”
AND, everybody knows… said like Phaedra… that as soon as one of these “behind the scenes” people is outted, they quickly blitter the tweeter; AND… as the RHONJ production crew did when they were outted… abruptly “protect” their twitter accounts… SH October 2, 2011. NOTE: Jacob Huddleston left the RHONJ to work on the RH of Miami.
Therefore, will not be outting him/her… but, let’s see if this tweeter blitters anyone! Will their twitter account suddenly be “protected?” Can YOU guess who the tweeter might be?? It may not matter… as many of the people who interact with this person via twitter are wishing him/her well! Perhaps they got a J-O-B with Oprah!

The Housewives franchises are becoming more and more incestuous.
The new OC Housewife, Lydia McLaughlin Sterling… mentioned on SH November 19, 2012… is the managing editor of Beverly Hills Lifestyle Magazine. BH Lifestyle is the magazine which was featured on the RHOBH… LisaVPump arranged for Shana Brandi’s photo shoot for the magazine.

More about Carlos King!
Carlos explains how he landed the low-paying producer job at the RHOA; how he bounced between ATL and the RHONJ; and what a producer has to endure!
From BlackEnterprise.com:
Defining Moments: King’s mentor, Joyce Chen, approached him with a job offer to work on a brand new reality TV project, The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Carlos says “Financially, it made no sense for me to go to Atlanta because I wasn’t being put up in housing; I wasn’t going to make any money, but I realized the bigger picture.”
“After I did season 1 of Atlanta, I went back to New York and got a call to do The Real Housewives of New Jersey. The producers knew I was already familiar with the Housewives format. I did Jersey Housewives season one, and then that rolled back over into doing season two of Atlanta, and after season two of Atlanta was up, I was asked to do season two of New Jersey.”
While working on another season for the Housewives franchise, King got a call from a producer, who worked with him on the New Jersey installment. “[He said] ‘I got this project that stars Oprah. Are you interested?’ I replied, ‘Is that a trick question? Oprah Winfrey is like my idol!’ ” Finally King knew he was meant to be a reality television producer.
Carlos King… when he worked for Oprah. Is there a gay man around??
The Advice: Finally, he adds, don’t take anything personal. “This is a mistake most young professionals make. This is the type of job where you have to have thick skin. You get cursed out a lot, because they’re hormonal … NeNe [Leakes] has cursed me out a few times. I’ve been yelled at by everybody, from NeNe to Sheree [Whitfield] to Kim [Zolciak]. I’ve been all types of names, but you know … it’s all in love.” NOTE: Anything to justify the hell he went through to get to where he is now… let’s wrap the word “love” around the torture!!

While looking for Carlos… whatever happened to Kelly Bensimon’s “reality” show, in conjunction with Carlos Leon?
