The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are coming down hard on Kelsey Grammer.

With Camille locked in a custody battle with her ex - rumors claim Kelsey actually wants to split his kids up - Adrienne Maloof, Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards have all come to their cast member's defense. By bashing the heck out of the former sitcom star.

"She might be [dating again] after this weekend," Maloof told E! News on Sunday at the Critics' Choice Television Awards. "She's presenting with me at the NHL Awards. I thought, 'Oh, hot hockey players!'"

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.

It was the second worst thing that ever happened to Kyle Richards, but it's her biggest regret.

Two weeks ago, the nation watched in horror as this Real Housewives of Beverly Hills outed her sister as an alcoholic, an allegation that was addressed again last night on part two of that show's reunion special.

Speaking to Ryan Seacrest yesterday, Kyle said "I regret everything about that night... I could take it back... there was a lot of stuff happening off-camera. The audience doesn't see everything. I think it came to a boiling point that night and we just kind of snapped."

Kyle says the sisters are now "in a goo place," although the tabloid cover above begs to differ.

Oh, thank goodness. We haven't slept well for a week.

Following an ugly confrontation between the sisters on last week's season finale of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, a source now confirms: Kim Richards and Kyle Richards are "speaking again."

"I've never seen or heard anything about it," this anonymous friend tells E! News. "When you watch the show, all of the wives drink in almost every scene."

Fair enough. But what about Kim's overall kooky behavior on the series? Says the insider: "I think she was just stressed out with all of the cameras."

Makes sense. She clearly won't return for a second season then, right? Wait... she will? We wonder why.

There was a sisterly spat on this week's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season finale, and that may be more of an understatement than saying Justin Bieber has a passionate fan base.

Kyle and Kim Richards absolutely went at it inside a limo, screaming over long-simmering grudges and personal family issues, such as the latter's battle with alcohol. It's worth watching:

At the conclusion of the episode, Bravo told viewers that Kim checked in and out of rehab in the week following events from the finale.

What is Kyle's reaction to this trauma? She took to her network blog today and expressed remorse, regret and love for her sibling:
