The last we reported on Kim Richards, 50, of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she was not speaking with her daughter, Brooke, after making a drunken scene at Brooke’s wedding. Richards had gone to her daughter’s wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on a furlough from rehab, accompanied by a sober companion. While no one reportedly witnessed Kim drinking, she was obviously inebriated and said a bunch of mean things to Brooke right after the wedding to Brooke’s new in laws. Kim’s sober coach got frustrated and left and then Kim missed her Monday deadline to return to rehab. It’s been over a week and Radar reports that Kim is back in LA and that she’s predictably refusing to go back to her rehab facility. She’s in touch with her family at least, and they’re worried about her.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards has finally resurfaced in Los Angeles after relapsing at her daughter’s Mexican wedding on May 23. But RadarOnline.com has learned she’s not out of the woods just yet: According to multiple insiders, she is refusing to go back to rehab.

“Kim came back from Cabo last week but is refusing to go back to rehab,” an insider told Radar. “She suffered a huge relapse at the wedding, and was mixing booze and pills. However, Kim is refusing to go back to rehab.”

Richards entered a treatment facility for alcoholism recently after she was arrested at the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge last month and charged with public intoxication and trespassing.

By agreeing to rehab, sources told Radar that she would not only get a very lenient plea deal and avoid jail time, but she would also be able to return next season to RHOBH.

But according to the insiders, all bets are now off.

Our source said, “Kim has been in contact with sister’s Kyle and Kathy, but both siblings are obviously very concerned about her. There is only so much the family can do for Kim, and refusing to get help is a big obstacle.”

TMZ somewhat contradicts Radar’s story and claims that Kim has “promised to re-enter rehab.” Considering how long it’s been, and how she refused to commit to rehab while on Dr. Phil, even if she’s saying that it’s doubtful she’ll follow through. They say that Kim returned to LA only after her sister Kyle and her husband, Mauricio, sent a security guard down to Mexico to retrieve her. TMZ reports that Kyle and Mauricio aren’t going to babysit Kim anymore and that “things are so bad, Kyle and Mauricio feel Kim is actually in danger of dying. But they believe the only hope is for her to realize they will not be her safety net to constantly bail her out.”

If Kim is so deep in her addiction and in denial, there’s little hope her family can force her to get treatment unless she’s a danger to herself or others. She may go back to rehab if her livelihood is threatened, like it was in 2011 the last time she went to rehab (and later lied about remaining sober). However, unless there’s an insurance issue I really doubt that RHOBH is going to kick her off. She’s a trainwreck and that makes for good television. Plus I doubt she’ll face many consequences for her drunken arrest regardless of whether she completes rehab. She’ll probably get community service and a fine and that’s it. If she’s wasted in court, though, that’s another story.

Jake Gyllenhaal covers the July issue of Esquire to promote his role in Southpaw. Jake plays a down-and-out boxer, Billy Hope, who has to claw his way back from rock bottom. He buffed up by eating extra meals and working out 6 hours daily. Jake badly wants an Oscar, and he really should have been nominated last year for Nightcrawler. Dude deserved the nomination over Bradley Cooper and the beige booty shorts. Both men underwent body tranformations. BCoop gained weight, and Jake lost it (but had the better performance). Now it’s Jake’s turn to show off a buff physique. Maybe this will be his year.

Director Antoine Fuqua says Jake was so committed that he refused a stunt double and “even broke up with his girlfriend because he was at the ring every day!” Here are some excerpts from Jake:

Why he made Prince of Persia and Day After Tomorrow: “I took things because they were jobs. I mean people are paying you money, you’re 26, are you kidding? I woke up one day and I wasn’t in the right room. It was like a David Byrne song: ‘That’s not my beautiful house. That’s not my beautiful wife.’”

His Southpaw character: “He’s a guy that couldn’t deal with his own shame. The director Ed Zwick [Love & Other Drugs (2010)] told me this wonderful thing: ‘Everything you learn is through shame.’ It’s so true. There’s those moments where you face humiliation, they’re so freeing if you can get through them … I didn’t do a boxing movie to do a boxing movie, if you know what I mean.”

On transforming for a role: “Physicality is a way into the mental state of a character. I get off on knowing that my energy has shifted. My technical side is going, ‘Yeah, you’re a bit of a maniac, but you know how to keep it in check.’ But it’s not like this huge deal. It’s that Louis CK thing, [about] when people say they’re ‘starving.’ Maybe you should rethink that word? You had a meal four hours ago!”

Empathy has a molecular, mystical quality: “I believe deeply in the unconscious. That you literally accumulate the molecules of the space that you’re in. We’re like 90 per cent water, so naturally we are going to be affected by the moon when it’s full: if the sea is, why wouldn’t we be? That seems scientific to me. So, if you spend enough time in whatever environment your character would exist in … then the molecules of that environment must transfer somehow. And then you put it on screen, and people go, ‘I feel something that I don’t normally feel.’”

[From Esquire]

The part about empathy relates to Jake’s belief that physically immersing himself in a role will enhance his understanding of a character. Jake is not alone in thinking that full moons affect human behavior (although the average adult’s body is 55-60% water, not 90%). Lots of people feel the same way, and there are plenty of people who experience headaches and various other ailments during full moons. The discussion is a little spacey, but all of the strange things that happen can’t be mere coincidences, right? Discuss.

When Oscar de la Renta passed away last year, I did idly wonder about his will. De la Renta was a wealthy man, of course, with a successful clothing line and I guess I just figured that his beloved wife Annette would probably inherit the majority of his estate. I didn’t know that Oscar de la Renta had any kids, but he did. He was stepfather to Annette’s three children from a previous relationship, and Oscar adopted a son, Moises, from the Dominican Republic before Oscar got with Annette. And as it turns out, Oscar de la Renta did leave the bulk of his estate to Annette, and he only left a pittance to Moises. Rough.

The son of late fashion designer Oscar de la Renta is paying dearly for having fallen out with his father. Moises de la Renta, adopted by Oscar from an orphanage in their native Dominican Republic, was left a relatively threadbare portion of his dad’s $26 million estate — and was warned that if he ever tried to contest the will, he would be cut out completely, court documents show. Moises, 30, had angered his dad by launching his own women’s fashion line in 2005. His father, who outfitted such luminaries as Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Amal Clooney, apparently never forgave him.

Oscar, who died in October at age 82, left most of his estate to his wife of 25 years, Annette, in his six-page will, signed several weeks before his death. Her haul includes all of Oscar’s belongings, plus his real-estate holdings, including a $13 million Park Avenue apartment, $2.8 million Connecticut home and a Dominican estate. The rest of his funds was put in a trust to be split between Annette, her three children and Moises, who was his dad’s only child.

The will puts Annette, Oscar’s second wife, in control of the funds, which include his $3.3 million Citibank account and a $1.2?million tax refund. Rather than Moises, Oscar’s stepdaughter Eliza Bolen was named as an alternate executor of the will. Bolen, daughter of Annette, is a vice president of the fashion house.

The will — filed in Litchfield County Probate Court in Connecticut, where the designer lived with Annette — gives a glimpse into the couple’s lifestyle. For example, Annette billed the estate $80,000 on May 18 for expenses including a $2,533.82 trip to a Citarella gourmet market and $13,933 for landscaping. In 2005, The Post reported Moises was building his own fashion “empire” “to bring the de la Renta aura to a younger crowd.”

Oscar later publicly lashed out at his son. “Moises did a little line, five or six pieces. But that doesn’t make a fashion designer,” he told New York magazine. Oscar said he adopted Moises, then just 24 hours old, after his first wife, Francoise, died of cancer.

“I never thought I would get married again. I thought my son and I would have each other,” he said.

But in 1989, Oscar wed Annette, daughter of mining magnate/philanthropist Charles Engelhard. Moises’ fashion line, MDLR, never took off. Still, he’s not exactly poor, buying a Soho pad for $2.4 million in 2010. Annette’s lawyers declined to comment. Moises did not return messages.

I think it was always pretty clear that Annette would inherit the bulk of the estate and that Oscar trusted her judgment implicitly. And yes, it’s terrible to hold that kind of grudge against your son for so many years, to the point where you’re taking it to your grave. And was Moises really so wrong to try to build his own line? Ugh. Still, Oscar had the right to distribute his wealth however he wanted, and I guess Moises should be thankful to get whatever pittance from the trust controlled by Annette.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been doing little previews of the upcoming wedding between Sweden’s Prince Carl Philip and his soon-to-be bride, Sofia Hellqvist. The general consensus among royal watchers is that Sofia is not really princess material – she’s a reality show famewhore and softcore p0rn model – and that this wedding is probably going to be a lot of fun to watch because a few of Carl Philip’s family members don’t seem especially jazzed about the union. To battle those kinds of perceptions, People Magazine ran a soft-focus piece about the Scandalous Sofia and how Carl Philip has tamed the wild girl or something. You can read the full piece here. Some highlights:

Margareta Gotthardsson, royals reporter at Svensk Damtidning, tells People: “From the beginning, there was a struggle for Sofia to be accepted… She has told the press that she and the prince tried to fall out of love with each other since they knew that it would be a struggle for them when her background was revealed.”

Carl Philip on whether his sisters disliked Sofia: “Absolutely not, not at all. My parents and my sisters were curious about her, open, and welcomed her with a big hug.”

Carl Philip on the media’s treatment of Sofia: “She was hung out to dry in a bullying type of way.”

Sofia on how the royal family treated her: “I felt welcome from day one and nothing else… A lot has been written over the years, not only following our engagement. For me it’s pretty boring, it happened 10 years ago and I’ve moved on with my life. But no regrets. Experience shapes a person.”

Gotthardsson says perception about Sofia changed after the engagement: “Now everyone has changed their minds about her. She is very lovely, charming and smart. The Swedish people have taken her to their heart.”

Royal reporter Johanna Lejon says the wedding will be better than Will & Kate’s: “The Swedes love royal weddings! The whole country is in a party mood. It will be a very emotional and touching wedding, just like William and Kate’s. But Carl Philip and Sofia’s wedding will be more open and not so private as Kate and William’s was. For example, SVT [a Swedish TV network] will air most of the dinner and the party after the wedding.”

[From People]

People Magazine also quotes that royal reporter Margareta Gotthardsson as saying that Crown Princess Victoria has always been supportive of Sofia because “Victoria had to fight for the approval of marrying Daniel, who was a luxury gym owner, it was easier for Prince Carl Philip to get approval from their parents to wed Sofia. Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel have always supported Sofia and Carl Philip during their relationship.” See, I think that would be a reason why Victoria would have mixed feelings about Sofia generally speaking – Victoria and Daniel had to wait years and years for her parents to accept him, and Daniel was and is a lovely, scandal-free, upstanding dude without a whiff of famewhore. And after all of the work Victoria and Daniel had to do, then Sofia just waltzes in wearing a bikini with a snake wrapped around her privates and suddenly it’s the same thing?

But yes, I bet the royal family has accepted that Sofia will be marrying Carl Philip and that’s the end of that. The only good thing that will come of it is that party-girl Sofia will make her sister-in-law Victoria look that much better by comparison.
