Brutal truth about desperate, 'drugged' Lisa Rinna
There comes a time in many a show business career when the phone stops ringing, the job offers dry up and the lip filler dissolves.
For Lisa Rinna that time came early.
Her fall from 90s soap opera stardom to noughties obscurity couldn't have been easy for this gorgeous gal but to her credit, she never stopped working.
There was a Lifetime movie, a failed talk show, a Playboy shoot, sitcom appearances, a stumble through Dancing with the Stars and then, wham-o, Lisa Rinna was back… kinda.
She survived eight seasons of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, (Rinna has been married to actor Harry Hamlin since 1997) proving no lack of talent could stand between her and the camera. But now, Lisa, I think I speak for millions, when I say: it's time to hang up that life-preserver masquerading as your mouth.
Hot off her latest humiliating reality show turn in NBC's The Traitors, Rinna is hawking a book, settling old scores and spinning hard-to-believe tales of a late-night drugging.
Could it be that Rinna, 62, feels fame slipping through her wrinkled grasp, perhaps for the last time?
TMZ was the first to report that Rinna believed she was roofied during a The Traitors premiere party at the West Hollywood hot-spot The Abbey in early January.
Apparently, newly gay former Bachelor (and Rinna's nemesis on The Traitors) Colton Underwood noticed she appeared a bit loopier than usual, so he raised the alarm and sweet Harry whisked his bride off to safety.

But, according to Rinna, she was drugged!
'I had fentanyl in my system. Yes. I'm not kidding,' Rinna told two horrified local New York news hosts last month. 'I had fentanyl, high levels of amphetamines and other things, but I can't talk a lot about it because we're still dealing with it.'
Goodness gracious, fentanyl?!? A grain can kill an elephant. That's not even remotely funny. Drink-spiking is nasty, pervasive and criminal, but something tells me if a Rinna foe really wanted to stick it to the filler-addict, they'd drain her puffy pout.
There wouldn't be much left of her if they did.
To their credit, the managers of The Abbey conducted an 'internal review' and released a statement saying, in part: 'We pulled and reviewed all available surveillance footage from the time in question and interviewed staff on duty. We found no evidence of drink tampering or suspicious behavior toward her.'
Then there's the egregious squaring of accounts. Rinna's memoir 'You Better Believe I'm Gonna Talk About It' sounds more like a threat than a good read.
The big takeaways are that Bravo star Andy Cohen hurt her feelings when he published her boring private texts, her former Days of Our Lives co-star Robert Kelker-Kelly (sexy Bo!) was an alleged bully and her ex-The Celebrity Apprentice cast member Star Jones was a 't**t'.
Rinna said Jones 'threw her under the f***ing bus' and claimed her 'viciousness prepared me for my future as a Beverly Hills Housewife.'

'I'm not sure I'd ever experienced woman-on-woman hate crimes before that,' Rinna wrote.
Shades of Jussie Smollett?
Now Rinna's stooping to give career advice on LinkedIn in a comically oversized suit answering questions about being 'offered a role beyond your comfort zone.' She advises to reach for greatness adding, 'I think everything I've ever done is a leap and a stretch.'
Let me give Lisa a little advice: If you're drinking at a crowded club, don't leave your hooch unattended. If you don't like mean people, then you're in the wrong industry. And, finally, showbiz greats leave their fans wanting more.
You've given us all far too much already.
New York's First Loser
The Big Apple's rape-denying, Hamas-loving, hate-monger First Lady Rama Duwaji has been exposed for mass-liking, and by extension celebrating, social media posts glorifying the most horrific October 7 atrocities.
Her cowardly husband-mayor wouldn't condemn any of it. He just said she's a 'private person.'
Maybe someone should have explained that to your wife before she proved to the world that she's a bloodthirsty ghoul.

Speaking of public humiliations… CNN stepped in it this weekend by publishing an X post that described two self-declared ISIS-supporting, terror suspects, who attacked police and protesters in NYC, as 'Pennsylvania teenagers' who 'crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could've been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.'
Fortunately for Mayor Mamdani, the post was removed by CNN before his wife could like it.
Bill Belichick's side piece was snapped showing side boob in a dress made from discarded fishing line at a charity event this week.
I thought that rotting tuna was Jordon Hudson's natural musk!
She wore the barely there garbage to raise awareness over ocean pollution, which is fitting because let's face it: she's pretty trashy.

MAGA hot pot Alina Habba, President Donald Trump's favorite legal eagle and former interim US Attorney, has quietly divorced her millionaire husband Gregg Reuben.
She's also moved down the street from Mar-a-Lago, where she can continue counseling the president from his 'Southern White House.'
Maybe she'll get a pair of Palm Beach funbags and wait for Don Jr to slink back onto the singles market, too?
Clean up, aisle snob!
Curmudgeonly crooner Jack White got a swifty kick in his lily white behind after suggesting Taylor Swift's autobiographical songwriting wasn't 'interesting at all'.
He tried to dig himself out, clarifying, 'I didn't say that I think Taylor Swift's music was "boring" or whatever clickbait the net is trying to scrape together.'
Yeah, you did, Jack. Now, there's a Seven Nation Army of 12-year-olds ready to send you glitter-filled hate letters for the rest of your life.

Ghost of Hunter Biden
First Granddaughter Kai Trump is being lambasted for filming herself shopping at luxe grocery store Erewhon with her Secret Service detail in tow.
Hunter Biden responded: 'Hold my $23 smoothie. I filmed myself smoking crack with prostitutes and my dad made me his advisor!'
Let's cool the ginned-up outrage and let the kid enjoy her overpriced spelt scone.
