Beverly Hills Real Housewife Adrienne Maloof Divorcing Paul Nassif

I was a little surprised to learn today that one of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' marriages has gone kaput.

Supposedly Adrienne Maloof and Paul Nassif had tried going the open marriage route to keep their household happy.

But, the open marriage route did not work out, so now it's splittsville.

The first season of RHOBH I found the Maloof/Nassif bickering to be amusing. The second season of RHOBH there seemed to be a big change in the bickering. There was less of it and when the bickering did happen it was not so amusing.

And Adrienne had gone from being a fan favorite to being a bit of a bitch. As witnessed on the second season's reunion show where Adrienne irrationally went after the uber-fan favorite, Lisa Vanderpump.

Then there were all the reports about their being trouble in the Maloof business empire, which seemed to have Adrienne scrambling to make money, most absurdly by "designing" a line of what looked like hooker shoes.

Apparently the third season of  Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is currently being filmed, with the Maloof/Nassif breakup included for our viewing pleasure.

This should make for good ratings on a par with all those who turned in with morbid curiosity to see how the Russell Armstrong suicide was going to be dealt with at the start of season two.

Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Adrienne Maloof Is Saving Her Failing Financial Empire With Hooker Shoes

The disturbing behavior of the lying grifter whose most recent name is Taylor Armstrong, was not the only disturbing behavior that perplexed viewers on the 2nd season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Adrienne Maloof's fall from grace, morphing into a humorless, hypersensitive shrew, has also been perplexing.

In season one we were led to believe that Adrienne Maloof was a fabulously wealthy Beverly Hills dweller, with part of her fortune enhanced by her supposedly very successful plastic surgeon husband, Paul Nassif.

I thought it odd that this season we saw so many iterations of the shilling Paul's plastic surgery practice, in various forms.

But, the plastic surgery shilling was nothing compared to the spectacle of seeing Adrienne desperately hawking her, supposedly, self-designed line of what appear, to me, to be hooker shoes.

Shoes of the sort I have only seen in real life whilst driving the Hooker Alley in Dallas, Texas, known as Harry Hines Boulevard.

Well.

It turns out the Maloof Empire is actually in a lot of financial trouble. The Maloofs have lost their lucrative beer distributorship, which, I believe, is what their papa based the family fortune on.

The Maloofs have lost financial control of their Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, the place about which Adrienne nagged Lisa relentlessly because Lisa's daughter, Pandora, did not send some Bachelorette party business to the Palms.

Apparently the Maloofs have had to borrow money from the NBA to keep their Sacremento Kings franchise alive. And the Maloofs do not have the funds to contribute their part to the proposed new downtown Sacramento arena for the Kings.

In other words, the Maloof Empire is in shambles. Bordering on broke.

And so, to make a few bucks, Adrienne has turned into a shoe salesman, selling her hoofware in malls across America.

And on her own website.

Yes, you can go to Adrienne Maloof's online store and purchase your very own Maloof Hoof Hooker Ware.



The prices seem quite reasonable. For less than $300 you can have your own Adrienne Maloof designed pair of Hooker Shoes.

I must add that each shoe comes adorned with a diamond encrusted into the heel, which the wearer can view, if she wears the shoes to bed and has a mirror on the ceiling.

I am ordering the Veronica Platform for my favorite hooker girlfriend.

That is not my favorite hooker girlfriend, laying prostrate in the photo below.

That is Adrienne Maloof on the home page of her website, I assume laying down, with a hand to her forehead, to represent exasperation at the current state of her financial affairs. This is a very flattering photo of Adrienne....

Beverly Hills Housewife Husband Paul Nassif Calls 911 For Charlie Sheen

I don't believe we've seen Adrienne Maloof's and Dr. Paul Nassif's kids on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Or was that their kids in their dad's office getting shown how dad uses a computer to do plastic surgery?

That is Adrienne and Paul and their 3 kids in the picture.

I digress from my intended subject.

So, I was a little surprised to read that the Maloof-Nassif family is the next door neighbor of CBS bad boy, Charlie Sheen.

And that it was Paul Nassif who was the 911 caller who summoned help when his neighbor, Charlie, was drunk and suffering bad stomach pains.

Adrienne and Paul released a statement to the press regarding Charlie, saying, "We are so glad that Charlie made the decision to seek the assistance of a rehabilitation center today. This is something that his friends and family have pushed for, and we wish him all the love and support he will need in the coming days."

This is the first time this year that production on TV's #1 sit-com, Two and a Half Men, has had to come to a stop due to Charlie Sheen checking into a rehab facility. This is the 3rd time in 3 months Charlie Sheen has needed to check in to a hospital.

The character of Charlie Sheen, the person, seems to be very much like the character, Charlie Harper, he plays on Two and a Half Men. Charlie Harper is often drunk, is not averse to drugs, is a womanizer and has been known to hire a hooker or two.

Charlie Sheen, the person, in recent times has been in the news for leaving a New York City hotel torn up, with Charlie in such bad condition he had to be hospitalized. Last summer Charlie plead guilty to assaulting his wife in Aspen, Colorado. And earlier this month Charlie was in the news for some wild partying in Las Vegas.

I will never understand why so many people with charmed lives get themselves so messed up. I like to think if I lived a charmed life, which I don't, that I would find myself enjoying it. Not getting stoned, drunk, violent and requiring my neighbors to call 911 to help me.

But, it would be interesting if I found myself suddenly leading a charmed life and finding myself succumbing to temptations that currently do not tempt me. Somehow I can't see myself tearing up a hotel room. Or assaulting my wife. Or hiring a hooker. I might get drunk, though.
