The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Move over, Camille Grammer. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has just picked up a new, scorned former wife of a TV star in Brandi Glanville.

The rumor has been confirmed, as the model has been spotted shooting scenes for the second season of the Bravo reality show, reports say.

If the past two years are any indication, Brandi will bring drama. Her feud with Eddie Cibrian and his new wife, LeAnn Rimes, has been pretty epic.

Since Cibrian admitted to cheating on her in 2009 with the also-married LeAnn Rimes (who he married last month), Brandi Glanville hasn't held back.

Brandi does not mince words when it comes to calling out LeAnn and/or the father of her two children, and has even admitted slashing Eddie's tires.

She and Rimes have also battled it out on Twitter, most recently in February when Glanville was upset that Rimes sang at one of their sons' schools.

Might Brandi Glanville be getting a little reality TV revenge?

Mere weeks after Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes got married, Brandi is in talks to join Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills next season.

The obvious plot line for the contrived nonsense that would comprise the bulk of Glanville's time on screen, should she really join the program?

Brandi's ex, Eddie, leaving her for LeAnn, and their struggles to raise sons Mason, 7, and Jake, 4, in the aftermath of the scandalous breakup.

While Brandi called a truce with Eddie and LeAnn and was even seen partying with them at one of the boys' birthday parties, there's still tension.

Camille Grammer became a bona fide star after her split with Kelsey was chronicled on the show, so it's not surprising Bravo thought of Brandi.

Also, Glanville is a close friend of Cedric Martinez, that sloth who refused to move out of Lisa VanderPump's house. So she's got an in!

Last month, we reported that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills would be back for a second season, with the whole cast returning for all the fun.

Might the second half of that statement have been premature?

Kyle Richards, a.k.a. the gorgeous, normal and happy one (relatively speaking) is now hinting at an early exit from the Bravo franchise, according to EW.

The sister of co-star Kim Richards and aunt to Paris and Nicky Hilton isn’t confirming a departure just yet, but isn't sure she'll be back on it either.

“The show has been picked up for a second season, but I’m not sure if I’m coming back yet,” she said, sending chills through the spines of fans.

While rumors about new cast members (Faye Resnick, Ayda Field) have been flying, Bravo is keeping mum on cast moves and possible additions.

“The only thing we’ve announced is that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is coming back for a second season,” a rep for the network told EW.

Would Kyle’s potential absence make you less likely to watch? Is she your favorite, or do you tune in to watch the train wreck that is Camille?

Like any pair of sisters who pretend to fight for the sake of reality TV ratings, Kim and Kyle Richards are working on their relationship.

The pair clashed often on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, often over Kim's drinking, with Kyle saying she regretted how she handled the entire ordeal. How are things now? Said Kim to People at Bravo's upfronts this week:

"It's not going to cure itself over night and hopefully we will grow past all that happened and move forward and get stronger and stronger."

As you can see, life is tough for Kim and Kyle Richards.

Adding she "learned a lot about our relationship" and hopes it's now stronger than ever, Kyle says she must butt out of her sibling's affairs sometimes.

"When you lose your parents like we have, I turned to my sisters to parent me at times and I feel like at times I need to parent them. But it's not my job and I have to love her, step back and say I'm not your mom."

Both cast members will return for season two of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. They might be joined by Ayda Field on it.

Camille Grammer is definitely returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

But the show is still seeking a new, irritating, spoiled woman to come on board, and an insider tells E! News it has zeroed in on two contenders: Faye Resnick and Ayda Field.

"If I were to put money on it," the source says. "I would say Ayda will be the new cast member."

So, who is Ayda Field?

She is the daughter of a movie producer and actually studied law at Columbia University. But she dropped out to pursue an acting career that has taken her from Days of Our Lives to Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. She is married to British pop star Robbie Williams.

A rep for Field confirms his client has been "approached," while Resnick will show up again on season two no matter what. Says someone in the know:

"Faye is shooting for the show already because she is an actual friend of the cast. It is still unclear if Faye will remain a friend or become a central character on the show."

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills cast member Lisa Vanderpump was in court today as a witness in a criminal case involving her friend, Robert Kovacik.

That dude was allegedly punched by Roger Telavera in a bloody restaurant melee last year. But mostly, peeps just want an update on Camille Grammer.

Fortunately, she offered one to Radar Online.

“(Camille) is doing better,” Vanderpump said of her fellow Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star: “The only way is up after what she has been through."

So true. Vanderpump, who runs Villa Blanca in Beverly Hills, also had words for Charlie Sheen and his self-proclaimed "Odyssey" and "media tsunami."

"It's very sad... when you are a father with young children, I think ultimately you want to set an example for society," Vanderpump said.

Now there's a torpedo of truth for you.

When Faye Resnick appeared last season on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she and Camille Grammer got into it over the former's decision to write a book about the death of Nicole Brown Simpson.

It was a totally natural, unscripted argument.

Now, Bravo is reportedly hoping for more of the contentious same, as sources tell Hollywood Life that Resnick is being "seriously considered" for a permanent role on season two.

“Faye has met with producers and there is a lot of interest from the show’s fans to have her on,” says an insider. “I don’t have word yet on whether she has officially signed on, but I do know that she was being seriously considered.”

Resnick actually testified against O.J. Simpson during his 1994 murder trial. She then went on to pen "Nicole Brown Simpson: The Private Diary of a Life Interrupted."

Good friends with cast members Taylor Armstrong and Kyle Richards, Faye had dinner with them this week at BOA steakhouse in West Hollywood. Might they have been toasting to her upcoming inclusion on the show?

Ready for more contrived fights? Allegations of alcoholism? And everything irritatingly awful about Camille Grammer? Good.

Because sources confirm to Radar Online that every cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will return for season two. Grammer, Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle and Kim Richards, Taylor Armstrong, Adrienne Maloof have all signed new contracts.

Here's to another season of making viewers think our fights are unscripted!

"Camille was on the fence and really didn't know if she wanted all her business exposed for a second time especially after her painful divorce," an insider says. "She thought about it and re-thought about it before coming to the conclusion that she'd return for a second season."

After all, what is a private life with one's children when faced with dollar signs and featured tabloid stories, right? Did anyone really doubt Camille would return?!?

There's a 99% chance that one cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will NOT return for season two.

But sources don't identity this individual as Camille Grammer, with an insider telling E! News: "Camille is coming back; she just wants the public to feel sorry for her a little longer because of the whole Kelsey thing, so she's not announcing it yet."

Yup. That sounds about right.

So, who is almost definitely departing the Bravo series? Kim Richards.

"There is so much more going on than what was shown on TV," the source says of Kim's televised struggles. "There was a lot of tension building up over the years, [Kim and Kyle] have a complicated relationship."

The aunt of Paris Hilton is having major problems with drinking, this insider adds, concluding:

"It's a problem. She just won't show up to events or functions she is supposed to be at, and no one can get a hold of her. It's really affecting her relationships to those closest to her."

Prior to her stint on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Camille Grammer was solely known for posing in Playboy and appearing in a few softcore porn flicks.

But now the ex-wife of Kelsey Grammer has been tried in the court of public opinion and the verdict is nearly unanimous: man, she sucks! She may even be America's most hated Housewife.

Not many viewers feel sorry for Camille at this point, but the greedy reality star has at least one woman in her corner. This is what Lisa Vanderpump told Pop Eater about her fellow cast member's trials and tribulations:

"Toward the end of the season, I think you also saw what she went through. I think for a woman to be publicly humiliated like that, when you've got cameras in your house and filming your life, it was extremely difficult for her."

Do you have any sympathy for Camille Grammer?
