Brandi Glanville sat down with “Today Show” anchor Willie Geist to discuss her new book “Drinking & Tweeting and other Brandi Blunders” — and the reality star certainly didn’t hold back.

While discussing her feud with LeAnn Rimes and her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian, Glanville admitted, “I don’t know if I do everything that’s appropriate in life.”

She also said that she and Cibrian no longer speak, and that she’s “concerned” about her kids when they’re with Rimes because of the singer’s stint in rehab.

The show reached out to Cibrian for a comment about the book, and he issued a rare statement that read: “I certainly wish I handled some of the choices I made four years ago differently, but I have been conscious of the choices I have made since.”

He added, “This exploitative book, intended to hurt LeAnn and me, will only hurt and scar my kids. That deeply saddens and concerns me.”

And while it’s still very contentious between Glanville and Rimes and Cibrian, when asked whether one day they may have a cordial relationship, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star told Geist, “I hope so.”

She noted that after her book tour, “I’m done talking about them completely.”

Cissy Houston holds her daughter Whitney responsible for her own death.

“Good mothers and good fathers and good families don’t always have great children,” the matriarch said on Monday’s “Today Show.”

Appearing on the show to discuss her new memoir, Whitney: My Story of Love, Loss, and the Night the Music Stopped, Cissy explained, “It’s all [the children’s] responsibility when they get to a certain age to choose their way.”

“She was taught,” Cissy said. “She knew her way.”

Houston was 48 when she was found dead last February at the Beverly Hilton Hotel the night before the Grammy Awards.

It was later determined she died from an accidental drowning, although cocaine use was deemed a contributing factor.

When asked about Bobby Brown’s possible negative influence on her daughter, Cissy was largely dismissive.

“I know he didn’t help her. I don’t blame him,” she said, adding, ”Everybody is responsible for their own actions up to a point. She was raised, she knew better, and whatever took her to that position, I really don’t know.”

Cissy also opened up about her own relationship with Whitney, and coming to terms with her tragic death.

Could Pippa Middleton soon be a part of your mornings?

According to a widely circulated report from The Mirror, the “Today Show” will offer Duchess Catherine’s younger sister approximately $600,000 to join the broadcast as “Royal Correspondent.”

“NBC’s early proposals include Pippa covering events like the Chelsea Flower Show and the opening of Buckingham Palace to the public,” explains the newspaper, which claims Middleton would make “up to 20 appearances a year.”

A so-called “source” tells the Mirror that senior NBC executives “see her appeal as huge as she is linked to the Royal Family and because of her popularity following [Prince William and Kate’s] wedding when pictures of her went worldwide.”

“She will not focus on intimate Royal matters like Wills and Kate’s move to London, Harry’s return from war and the family Christmas,” says the outlet’s source.

Actually, Middleton will not be focusing on anything for the “Today Show.”

The report is not true.

“There has been no such offer made to Pippa Middleton by the ‘Today Show,’” a rep for NBC tells Gossip Cop, adding, “She of course is welcome as a guest on ‘Today’ anytime.”
