Lindsay Lohan's fourth time hosting "Saturday Night Live" brought forth some memorable sketches, but perhaps none more so than "The Real Housewives of Disney."

Sure, thanks to Bravo we all know what the Real Housewives of New York, Atlanta and Beverly Hills are like (in the words of Tina Fey, "a fire in a wax museum"), but what about our favorite fictional women of privilege? What are their dinner parties and fundraisers and balls-to-the-wall brawls like? Finally, our questions are answered.

The true highlight might be Taran Killam as Prince Charming, but we'll let you guys be the judges.

While the critical response to Lindsay Lohan's "Saturday Night Live" hosting efforts has been less than positive, the ratings tell a different story. By the numbers, Lohan outshined past hosts like Alec Baldwin, Emma Stone, Melissa McCarthy and even Jimmy Fallon.

"I'm so excited for her," Lindsay's mother, Dina Lohan, told me. "She has worked so hard all week rehearsing. I'm so proud of her. Her brothers Mike and Cody and sister, Ali, were all with her. Thank you for believing in us."

However, it wasn't just her family that joined Dina in executive producer Lorne Michaels' office to watch the show. Dina also invited close family friend and former "Real Housewives of New York" star Jill Zarin and her husband, Bobby, to attend.

"She's a different kid," Jill told me, but she didn't want to say too much about the evening. "It's very hard to be famous, period. I can't imagine doing it at her age. But the one thing she has that a lot of famous people don't have is real talent -- and I can say that as someone that used to be on a reality show."

After the show ended, Lindsay, her guests and the cast and crew headed to Kibo, a Japanese restaurant in New York's Gramercy area, where Lindsay went from table to table thanking everyone.

"It was such a huge celebration at the after-party," a guest told me. "No one wanted to leave. Around 3:00 a.m., folks started to say goodnight after Lindsay worked the room, making it clear that she was back. Not drinking, b

When you think of an artist's tools of the trade, what comes to mind? Some paintbrushes, a canvas, a couple tubes of paint. How about... a chainsaw?

It may seem more a tool of destruction than creation, but UK artist Tommy Craggs has grown to become quite skilled with his weapon of choice.

On his website he says, "I see the trees come back to life in my artistic struggle working against the grain, with all of the beauty of the wood showing through."

Environmentalists have nothing to fear: Craggs only uses tress that have fallen naturally or need to be felled for woodland management purposes. He has won numerous awards for his work at carving festivals around the world (yes, they exist). He placed third in Canada's Chetwynd Chainsaw carving championship in 2011 and snagged the top prize at the English Open Chainsaw Competition with his take on "Alice In Wonderland."

Deciding to proceed ahead with a divorce isn't easy, and whether you reached that conclusion by yourself, were blindsided by a pronouncement from your husband, or something in between, you're probably still a little numb and left wondering, "What do I do now?"

That question can be answered on many different levels, of course. But, as a Divorce Financial Strategist™ who exclusively works with divorcing women throughout the country, my advice is to direct your focus immediately on creating a solid strategy, one that will help you emerge from divorce in the best possible shape, both emotionally and financially.

How do you make that kind of game plan? Easy. I believe there is one thing you need to do that can make all the difference between a successful divorce settlement and one that is considerably less favorable:

Build a winning divorce team.

Yes, you need a "team." In the past, divorce was a simpler process involving only the divorcing couple and their lawyers. But these days, you'll also need the support of other professionals, particularly those who can help secure your financial interests both in the short- and long-term. To protect your financial stability and personal well-being, build a solid divorce team that includes these three essential players:

1. A Matrimonial/Family Law Attorney

Look for an attorney who exclusively handles divorce cases or devotes at least 75 percent of his/her practice to divorce. Ideally, your lawyer will be a member of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, an organization requiring the fulfillment of several stringent professional conditions.

When interviewing potential candidates, please don't hesitate to get a little nosy. Certainly, you'll want to discuss the individual complexities of your case, but be sure to explore the lawyer's own qualifications and fees as well. Honesty and openness are the best strategies here because there's no need for any "surprises" once you've started working together. Find out answers to questions like these:

In an interview with "Extra" posted online Friday, the reality star told reporter AJ Calloway that she is staying clear of the dating scene.

"Obviously, I've learned that I rush into things when I fall in love and get excited," Kardashian admitted. "I need to take my time, so maybe I should chill out for a little bit and not date -- it's the only thing I can do at this point. Whenever it happens, it'll just happens. I'm not worried about it, I'm not looking."

So who is the current object of Kardashian's affection? She told Calloway that she's "in love with" two-year-old nephew, Mason Disick. "He's the love of my life!"

Kardashian filed for divorce from Kris Humphries in October 2011, just 72 days after their $10 million wedding, which was broadcast in a two-day, four-hour special on E!.

Brendon and Rachel are an emotionally volatile couple, and they've already scored a reality TV victory when Rachel won the most recent interation of "Big Brother." So it's no big surprise that they're the target of some negativity from the other teams on "The Amazing Race" (Sun., 8 p.m. EST on CBS).

Rachel has proven she can get emotionally rattled, which affects her focus and her gameplay. But when Rachel is focused, she's a true force to be reckoned with.

Vanessa succeeded in rattling Rachel and Brendon so much during the pumpkin stacking competition on "The Race" that they switched to the other task. But in the cool and air-conditioned room where the harp stringing competition was held, Rachel was able to relax and really get into the groove. She and Brendon tore through that challenge on their way to a solid second place finish in the leg.

They got a little help in that regard from Dave dropping all of his bottles in the second challenge, incurring a two-hour penalty. Meanwhile, Vanessa and her partner Ralph struggled so much with the pumpkin stacking challenge that they were there late into the night. Lucky for them, the twins Elliot and Andrew were fumbling with the harp strings.

The two teams came together at the bottle balancing challenge, and it was a race to the finish to avoid elimination. For all her Rachel taunting in the competition, Vanessa barely stayed alive, coming in just ahead of the twins, who found themselves eliminated. As for Rachel and bottle-dropping Dave? They had to watch four teams come in before them, including two who only seconds to spare. So they came in sixth, but mere moments behind the fourth and fifth place team going into the next leg.

On Sunday night's episode of "The Real Housewives Of Atlanta" (Sun., 9 p.m. EST on Bravo) NeNe Leakes got some unwelcome news when she returned home from her trip to South Africa.

After being accused of stealing razors from a local Walmart, NeNe's oldest son Bryson was in Gwinnett County jail in Georgia, and wanted her to bail him out.

It wasn't the first time Bryson had been in jail, and so NeNe decided to play hardball. Saying that he could languish in jail for a month, she refused to pay his bail.

However, after Bryson had been in jail for five days, Cynthia's husband Peter Thomas tried to change NeNe's mind. "Five days is a long time for him in there," he said. "Bail him out!"

But NeNe was sticking to her guns. "I feel like it's time to show tough love. Bryson, he's had a really easy life. So, now I'm gonna show you what a hard life is."

Try as he might, Peter just couldn't persuade NeNe to change her mind: "The lesson needs to be learned."

Chris Brown and Rihanna are together again-musically, at least. This week they released two remixed collaborations, fueling speculation they've also reunited romantically, three years after their relationship came to a violent end. Brown's rep has denied the rumors, but it's clear the two are sending mixed messages and fans are concerned. While Rihanna may have forgiven Chris Brown, who pled guilty to felony assault, others can't forget the startling photo of a battered Rihanna and fear it could happen again. Which begs the question, can an abuser really change?

"Abusers can be rehabilitated, but they have to want to change," said Brian Namey, spokesperson for The National Network to End Domestic Violence ("NNEDV"). Though there are batterers' intervention programs across the country that work with abusers to change their behavior, "a very small number actually make that change," Namey said.

"About 95 percent of men who abuse a woman are capable of change. Only about five percent of men cannot change, and are without a conscience," says couples therapist Dr. Nancy Davidson, adding that an abuser must first accept responsibility for the destructive behavior. Relationship expert Dr. Margaret Paul adds that an abuser must be open to healing and change and able to find adequate help. Related: My Sister's Husband Hits Her

Rehabilitation for abusers includes extensive education counseling and usually therapy, and results are never immediate, says marriage and family therapist SaraKay Smullens. "This abusive behavior is deep within this person and in intimate moments, it can come out again," she said, warning that anyone who returns to an abusive situation is in real danger. "It's life threatening."

The National Dating Abuse Helpline reports that three women are killed by an abusive partner everyday in the United States. The danger to victims escalates when they attempt to leave the relationship.
