Noah...?

October 19, 2010
From the look of this photo one would guess that the Fopsie/Herbert affair is, um, "Noah Moore." As in "no more." Get it?

But the truth is.... (drumroll please)... they're more on than ever! Fopsie admired Herbert for his honesty during yesterday's brunch at Ugo and said she was more in love than ever!

The truth is Fopsie had to work her way up as well. She started in the mail room at CAA earning about $50 a day in her early years. It took a long time before she became a big TV producer! (The tombstone is in Fopsie's front yard for an obvious reason: Halloween is in 12 days!!!)

Ugo Showdown

October 18, 2010
Herbert arrived. He came on time and slid into his seat. He was all smiles. Fopsie was happy to see him. But she was nervous.

After he ordered his Cafe Americano, Herbert jumped right into the subject Fopsie wanted to address. "I seem to be losing my British accent a bit, aren't I? I can explain!" Herbert confessed he's not British. He just lived in England for many years.

He also confessed that he grew up in Santa Barbara... the wrong side of Santa Barbara. He even worked with Teddy for a while at a bakery. They earned minimum wage and struggled. When Teddy met Nibs, everything changed. Nibs paid for Herbert's Masters program at Cambridge and helped him get a job. "That doesn't bother you Fopsie, does it? That I started off from the bottom?"

Meet Me At Ugo

October 18, 2010
Fopsie got a call Sunday morning. Herbert said to meet him at Ugo in Culver City for brunch.

She arrived early and was nervous. She missed Herbert and just wanted to give him a big bear hug. She didn't want to confront him about his accent.

She asked for a quiet table outside. She then realized she was 30 minutes early! Well, at least it gave her time to prepare.

After rehearsing her questions over and over, Fopsie started to feel anxious. To calm herself, she browsed the dessert selection.

Mmmm, chocolate cupcakes! Fopsie wondered if Teddy came here often...

Happy Friday Y'All

October 15, 2010
Nibs sent Teddy roses! It's his way of saying Happy Friday. Awww. That Nibs!

Teddy is excited for the weekend. She's going to watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which she DVR'd last night.

She's also going to get all the scoop on Herbert and Fopsie's "talk." Look for the deets on Monday!

Fopsie's Dilemma

October 14, 2010
With the scars still fresh from her split with Edward, Fopsie carefully considered what to do next with Herbert, who doesn't seem to be the person he says he is. She was so distracted with thoughts of Herbert that she could barely focus on work.

Even though Fops was supposed to read through a new movie script, she shirked her work duties and called Herbert. Shucks, he wasn't answering. She left a message. "We must talk, Herbert," she said.

Fopsie wants to have a face-to-face meeting with Herbert and hash this out. She likes him a lot, but wants answers.

She was too distressed to work and found herself looking out the window of her high-rise office. Poor Fops. This love thing has been a roller coaster for her!

Will The Secret Get Out?

October 13, 2010
Frazzled over their "family secret" getting out, Teddy called Herbert to her house for some coffee and chocolates to discuss the pressing matter.

Teddy told Herbert that she didn't want anyone finding out they grew up "monetarily challenged" in Santa Barbara and that Nibs bailed them out of a life of hard labor.

Herbert said Fopsie was going to find out at some point and he wanted to tell her himself. Also, he needs to explain he's not really British, he only just picked up a British accent while working there. Hey, it happens!

Teddy said maybe it's best to tell Fopsie but then tell her not to tell anyone else but they could not tell Nibs.

Herbert was a little confused, but said OK. "What's the big deal Teddy?" he said. "I have a great job now and those days in Santa Barbara are long behind us."

"I don't want my Beverly Hills friends knowing I was once poor!" screamed Teddy. That Teddy. She just has to keep up with the Joneses!

Teddy Calls Herbert

October 12, 2010
Teddy wanted to get to the bottom of Herbert's flip-flopping British accent so she decided to give him a call this morning.

But then Teddy heard Nibs' voice in her head saying, "Don't get involved Teddy!"

Teddy quickly dismissed Nibs' voice and dialed away. (She never listens to Nibs when he's in the room so why would she listen to him when he's not in the room?!)

So like Herbert to not be home! He's probably out with Fops. Let's hope he keeps his British accent up! Teddy doesn't want Fopsie to know Herbert grew up not in England but in Santa Barbara near Teddy. They both worked at a bakery until Nibs single-handedly saved Teddy's entire clan from abject poverty. (It's the family secret--shhh.)
