1. Hate is part of the ecosystem on Kelly Bensimon's planet.
2. Systematic bullying is never OK. Nor are incoherent YouTube videos.

6. Sonja Morgan is made of awesome.

10. A chef is a cook.
11. Gothammagazine will hire anyone.
12. Making lemonade out of lemons is hard.

15. Andy Cohen has the patience of a saint and the skills of a lion tamer.
16. A monogrammed gift bag is a sure sign that someone is trying to kill you.
17. "Yeah, that's what I'm talking about," is music-producer speak for "we'll just Auto-Tune away that soul-killing sound that keeps coming out of your face."
18. Posing nude is a good way to teach your children...something. Possibly shame.
19. Jennifer Gilbert is either too sane or too dull to be a real Real housewife.
And finally...
20. Money can't buy you class.
