David Foster's new wife, Yolanda Hadid, has officially joined the cast of the Bravo hit television series, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, RadarOnline has exclusively learned.
Hadid, a stunning blonde Dutch model, is the fourth wife of the legendary music producer and has already begun filming with her fellow housewives. Hadid is fitting right in, and she’s known Lisa Vanderpump for years.
"What most people don't realize is that Yolanda was married to Lisa's very good friend, Mohamed Hadid. Mohamed has appeared several times on the show, including during the last season when he threw an over the top engagement party for Lisa's daughter, Pandora.
Yolanda is going to make an excellent addition to the cast and she can definitely hold her ground if the claws come out; she is no shrinking violet," an insider tells Radar.
Filming recently began on the third season which is expected to premiere in the fall. "Filming began last week on the third season with Kyle Richards. She has a lot going on in her life right now, including helping her sister Kim navigate the sometimes rocky road of sobriety,".
"Kim's sobriety and recovery are going to be a focal point of her story line. The ladies haven't all filmed together yet, but are expected to begin that next week. "The ladies are also extremely concerned about Taylor's drinking problem. It has really gotten out of control, and they all believe she is an alcoholic in need of help.
"Producers also want to lighten things up for the upcoming season, the source tells Radar.

Viewers of Dancing With The Stars will likely never see any cast members from The Real Housewives, because network honchos at the Disney owned network don't believe the ladies are big enough stars.
"There have been former and current Housewives that have reached out to producers to appear on Dancing With the Stars but the ladies have all been shot down," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com.
"Taylor Armstrong expressed an interest in appearing and she was rejected. Producers of Dancing With The Stars just don't think the ladies are big enough stars to appear on the show.
Of course there is also rivalry issues at play because Bravo is owned by NBC Universal and Dancing is an ABC show, so you have massive egos involved which will likely prevent any of the Housewives from ever being offered a spot.
"Dancing With The Stars is a family friendly show and a lot of the cast members from the Housewives have all sorts of unsavory issues in their background and sadly, the women tend to get more negative press than positive, and ABC would never want to go down that road.
ABC doesn't shy away from casting controversial stars, from Bristol Palin to Kate Gosselin, but both of those ladies have a hard core fan base."
