The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Brandi Glanville is officially a reality star. The ex-wife of Eddie Cibrian has signed on for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

But Vicki Gunvalson, a member of the Orange County branch of this Bravo franchise, has a stern warning for Glanville: Be careful.

“It’s not all glamour," Gunvalson said to OK!. "You’re going to shed some real tears. You’re going to see people hurt you that you never thought could hurt you before. I think she’s in for a rude awakening. It’s not all fun at times, but the experiences have been that of a lifetime. I wouldn’t change it for the world."

Vicki has been a Real Housewife since 2007. Hilariously claiming that all stories regarding her on the series are "true," Gunvalson also has an opinion on the Beverly Hills cast.

Eddie Cibrian is far from thrilled with his ex joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and demanding his kids with Brandi Glanville won't be on it.

The actor, who split with Glanville after his affair with LeAnn Rimes, who he wed last month, says he'll go to court to stop her from hurting their sons.

Brandi Glanville joined the cast for next season, following a similar blueprint to that of Camille Grammer, who milked her split with Kelsey to the max.

Will Eddie Cibrian torpedo Brandi Glanville's new Bravo gig?

Eddie's pissed enough about that, but he's threatening legal action if their two small children - Mason, 7, and Jake, 4 - make any kind of Real cameo.

For her part, Brandi says this is a HUGE double standard, given that the kids just appeared in a spread in People with LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian.

Safe to say that whole truce thing is on thin ice.

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?

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?!?
