As I mentioned last week, Hollywood Girls' Night premiered on the TVGuide Network and once I was able to catch one of the replays, it was alright, but I could tell some of the chemistry at first was rather forced. I would have liked a little more talking, but the end segment of the show seemed kind of silly and this threw me off.
Again, as mentioned in last week's preview post, the debut brought out Tracey Gold, who most recently was on Celebrity Wife Swap, Kyle Richards from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Sheryl Underwood, host of CBS's The Talk. The theme for the night's show was secrets, the first question being who the biggest star was that the women had had flings with. The only one that seemed to give us any juice was Sheryl, who without revealing names mentioned that throughout her numerous flings with men in Hollywood, she managed to snag a couple of men in 2 Presidential administrations, as well as a lead guitarist for a rock band. Who knew Sheryl even liked rock?
Next, the ladies took it outside, where they ate dinner and played a guessing game where they each dropped a secret in a hat and the ladies took turns guessing whose secret belonged to whom. The secrets weren't necessarily salacious or anything; the deepest secret belonged yet again to Sheryl, who confessed that she hates nudity, even alone, and will not allow anyone else to see her nude either. I've never heard that from another woman before, but I guess you do learn something new everyday. Ali L. confessed that she and her now-husband agreed to remain abstinent with each other until their marriage, Tracey confessed that her husband is the first man she fell in love with. I don't remember the other secrets lol, but they were all pretty tame in nature. The end segment featured a cameo by celeb stylist Ken Paves, and he let them all in on some of his most popular hair pieces and wigs. Honestly, a couple of them looked foolish, but Ali Sweeney's turned out great. They're probably expensive as hell, this is Ken Paves we're talking about here, but they seem worth it because they're very easy to put in and remove. I wonder if they have these options for chicks with naptastic tendencies. lol That's the only part I found silly, watching these women try on fake hair and pretend to be so wow'ed by it--Kyle Richards has absolutely beautiful hair. She doesn't need any of that mess. I also found it hilarious that Ken didn't single out Sheryl like he did with a couple of the other women--he knows we're already all up on that road. LOL The wig he put on Ali didn't flatter her at all; it looked completely fake and I wondered why she she pretended to be so awed by it when she had to know it didn't look that good. I'll agree that Tracey looked good with the bang style that Ken put on her, but the coloring was off and the piece was no good either. She looks better with natural hair and natural bangs. Minus that, however, and it was alright.
One note that I took during the show was that Ali Sweeney has a hard time allowing people to talk. lol It annoyed me to watch a little, as she did this several times. I understand being excited while talking, but to continually cut in and not let people finish, even in a group setting, can get rather irritating after awhile.
Bitchy Review: Sometimes the talking and chemistry between some of the ladies seems rather forced, and that's a little off-putting, but in general this show is a nice break from the catty, demeaning reality shows that we've become accustomed to over the years. These women clearly don't hate each other, some don't even really know each other, and hopefully the changing themes of each episode bring a weekly variety to the show so that the audience doesn't become bored. I also like that 3 different women from Hollywood are invited to the show every week in addition to this theme; just in previews I've seen Robin Givens, Kendra Wilkinson & Daisy Fuentes, and I like that they're not using lame product placement strategies or blatant promoting/shilling during the episode either. For once, women seem to be getting together to do what we like to do best--eat, gossip, drink and laugh. I can get with that. Next show has a cameo from Perez Hilton; let's see what he brings to the table. If you've read his site, you already know his tongue is laced with sugar-tipped razors. At times it is hilarious, and depending on his target, is a riot. I can't say I'm waiting with baited breath to watch this show every week, but I don't mind popping in from time to time so I can be nosy. lol Anyway, if you're interested in seeing what certain ladies in Hollyweird are up to these days and want to learn a couple of things along the way or be inspired to create your own version of Hollywood Girls' Night with your friends, watch the show. If gabfests aren't you and you've had enough of shows that resemble The View or The Talk, keep switching.
Bitchy Rating: 3 (out of 5)
