She adds, “So I’ll do something later, and then Kathy [Hilton] they’ll probably do something sooner, or who even knows?”
When it comes to the winter holidays, Richards plans to travel to Aspen, Co. to go skiing. “I think I should be a little more organized by then,” she jokes.
But before that, she will spend quality time with her loved ones. “I’ll have my whole family together,” he tells us. “A lot of times I’ll have Friends Day and then I’ll do something with my family before I leave town. With Kathy and my cousins and everybody and then I’ll go to Aspen.”
As for her favorite recipes, Richards says her “Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners are legendary.”

Richards revealed that she spoke to her daughters following the rumours, explaining that she was questioning her sexuality.
“The fact that there were so many rumors out there, I took that opportunity to talk to my daughters so I could tell them, ‘Look, we know what’s being said, but this is where I stand and how I really feel, and I’m sharing this with you because I she always set an example’, she said.
“For me as a mom, I want my children to always be able to come to me in difficult conversations and to know that they will be loved and accepted no matter what – and that they are my best friends.” He added: “I wanted to share it with them out of respect for them.”
