Come September, Miami is going to be hotter than ever.
That's because Bravo's Real Housewives of Miami returns September 13 at 10 p.m. for an explosive second season, featuring a few familiar faces -- as well as four new women.
Lea Black, Adriana de Moura, and Marysol Patton are all returning, while socialite Lisa Hochstein, model Joanna Krupa, lawyer and chef Ana Quincoces and celebrity dentist Karent Sierra join the cast.
Alexia Echevarria -- who had taken time off to focus on her son Frankie's rehabilitation from a car accident earlier this year -- will also have a recurring role on the upcoming season.
Bravo is looking to ax cast members from “The Real Housewives of Orange County” to bring in some fresh — and wealthy — talent. Sources told us Bravo execs are looking to refresh the cast the same way that it revamped the cast of its New York City franchise this season, adding three new women.
An e-mail sent last week from “Housewives of Orange County” producers Evolution Media said it was looking for “fabulous affluent women and their families who live in amazing homes to potentially be on this series.” Once source told us Bravo is looking to dump at least one regular on the program, and said cast mates Vicki Gunvalson and Alexis Bellino were the most vulnerable, adding that Bellino is out of favor with producers after leaving filming in Costa Rica early during the last season.
Sources also said that producers had considered asking Gunvalson’s pregnant 24-year-old daughter Brianna Wolfsmith to join the cast, given that she eloped with her boyfriend last year and is already known to Orange County viewers. Bravo had no comment.
Alex and husband, Simon van Kempen, are returning to the reality TV genre, joining VH1's "Couples Therapy."
“For a couple of days last week, they were being trailed by a film crew, both in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Cameras were seen loading in and out of their Brooklyn brownstone, and they shot in at least one restaurant. It was just them with no other cast members involved,” a source close to the couple told me.
The couple says they are just filming a family Christmas video (in July), but TV insiders confirm they will be back on reality TV this year as one of the new couples on the VH1 series, where they will be discussing life after "Housewives," becoming famous.
Bravo released an explosive clip of what’s yet to come this season on The Real Housewives of New York City. Just when some thought things were getting a bit boring, they released this scandalous clip, full of upcoming Housewives drama! The clip below features footage of the Housewives’s trip to St. Barthes and a lot of previously unseen footage of conflicts and drama between the women, which People magazine referred to as "Scary Island Redux".
We see Heather Thompson in more conflict. “Take your ungrateful ass and get out of my face,” Heather tells her shocked co-star, Sonja Morgan.
