Kim Richards has made an amazing turn around, and those close to her couldn't be happier!

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, whose public battle with addiction was chronicled on her reality show, is making a great come-back, and a source close to her tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that Kim is "stronger, spunkier and single."

There is nothing better than a good old scandal and that made 2011 a banner year for reality TV!

From cheating spouses, to fake marriages to shocking suicides and risking children’s lives, reality stars showed their true colors by fighting, making-up, dodging debt and raking up arrests, and RadarOnline.com has a gallery of the biggest scandals of the year.

Kim Kardashian tied the knot with Kris Humphries in an $18 million made-for-TV extravaganza but filed for divorce just 72 days later, prompting outcry that the nuptials were fake and only for ratings on her reality show. The backlash was swift, especially when Kim cashed in with huge ratings for the new season of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, which was re-edited to make Kris look like the bad guy.

Taylor Armstrong’s financial troubles were simmering when her estranged husband Russell hanged himself in August, followed by the shocking news that Russell had allegedly abused her during their tumultuous marriage.  His suicide stunned family and friends, but the couple’s troubles are proving to be a ratings bonanza for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, with their counseling sessions aired on TV and the couple’s dark secrets revealed weekly.

The tension on this season's Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills hit a fever pitch Tuesday night, as the cast asked Taylor Armstrong and her late husband Russell to leave a party, upon learning he threatened to sue Camille Grammer for her talk of his alleged abusive behavior toward Taylor.

The stage for the showdown was Kyle Richards' annual white party, and before the Armstrongs had even arrived, Kyle and Lisa Vanderpump tried to contact her to warn her that trouble was brewing.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Kyle and Kim Richards have had their fair share of family drama, but they could be facing their worst stand-off yet over Kim’s shady new boyfriend Ken Blumenfeld, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal.

"I don't think he's the right person for her," Kyle told RadarOnline.com in an interview on Wednesday at the Virgin Unite’s 5th Annual Rock the Kasbah in Hollywood.

"I just really love my sister and I want the best for her, and I just don’t think that is the best situation for her."

Is it all going to end in tears for Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards?

It’s certainly starting to look that way as more and more information comes forward about the shady past of her new boyfriend, Ken Blumenfeld.

As RadarOnline.com was first to report, Blumenfeld still has an active profile on dating website, Match.com,  and now a mug shot of the 48-year-old businessman has been unearthed.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards announced on last week’s episode that she’s moving in with her secret boyfriend of a year, but RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned he’s still active on a popular dating website!

According to a profile on Match.com with Ken Blumenfeld’s photo clearly used, he was last active more than three weeks ago — just before he was showcased on the popular Bravo show, two weeks ago.

The drama just keeps on coming in the 90210!

Kim Richards revealed on Monday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that she was going to be moving in with her secret boyfriend and her tearful sister Kyle Richards didn’t approve saying, “I think Kim is just lonely.”

In a drama-filled episode, as usual, Kim had Kyle over to her house to confess to her that she’s moving in with her boyfriend of a year, Ken Blumenfeld, whom she has kept a secret the entire time.

After Kyle guesses that it’s the same “Ken” that Kim brought to Paris Hilton’s The World According To Paris premiere, she breaks down in tears of disapproval.
