The reunion was an explosive one and it seems that Taylor Armstrong's feud with Brandi Glanville is far from over.
On the show, Brandi attacked Taylor on various topics including her desperate need to publish a book about Russell, the email that Camille supposedly got from Russell as Brandi heard Taylor pressured him into sending it and more details about the abuse.
When Taylor sat down with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, she shared that it is her belief that Brandi is only attacking her on national television because she is dying to become a permanent cast member. Yes, Taylor has a spot on the show and Brandi wants it.
But Taylor needs to be careful because the final choices for a potential third season haven't been selected but rumors has it that she is out!
And Brandi seems to have become a fan favorite, meaning she could possibly land a spot on the show instead of Taylor.
Denise Richards Slaps Down 'Real Housewives' Rumors!
![]()
Denise Richards denied Wednesday recent tabloid reports she was in talks to join the cast of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
Richards took to Twitter to put to rest rumors that swirled after Life & Style magazine reported she was being courted for the show.
"Life&Style mag asked my publicist if it was true that I was offered to be on Real Housewives of Bev Hills. She said No not true," Richards, 40, tweeted to her 2.2 million followers.
"I don't know why they bothered checking they still ran their false story it is Not True at all. Life & Style fact check & print the facts!!" she continued.
"For the record I'm a big fan of the housewives series ... my life is far too boring to be on it!!" she joked.
Richards has two daughters, seven-year-old Sam and Lola, six, from her marriage to Charlie Sheen and she adopted another daughter, Eloise, as a single parent.
'Real Housewives of Miami' Renewed for Season 2; Show Gets Makeover!
![]()
The Hollywood Reporter's sources with knowledge of the project tell us that Bravo has renewed the series for a second season and plans to give it a relaunch worthy of the other series in the franchise. The network will officially announce the renewal and returning cast members very soon, but will hold out on naming new additions at this point. Shooting is expected to begin soon.
This time around, it’s counting on the hit magic of Matt Anderson and Nate Green’s production company Purveyors of Pop, which is behind Bravo’s successful Atlanta, New Jersey, and New York installments of the franchise in addition to Bethenny Ever After.
For several reasons, the Miami series seemed marked for death from the very beginning. First, it was intended to be a series called Miami Social (which itself was a relaunch of the network’s low rated 2009 series Miami Social Club). With a desire to expand on its successful franchise, Bravo decided to repackage the already-shot footage into a Real Housewives series.
A source close to the first season’s production tells THR that Bravo felt the season was going so badly that it let go of the original production company, L.A.-based McFilmworks, and took control of post-production.
While it may seem like a risk for the network, timing seems ripe to revisit Miami. The franchise is enjoying an upswing in popularity with the media coverage around The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and record ratings for Atlanta. Also, Tuesday's seventh season return of the Orange County series attracted 2.3 million viewers, a 10% increase among total viewers compared to the previous season premiere.

On last night's premiere of the seventh season of Real Housewives of Orange County, we got to see that Alexis Bellino—who believes that Jesus sanctions silicone implants but not homosexuality (because that's unnatural)—got herself another job.
Adding to her responsibilities of her dress line, Alexis Couture, Alexis took on a once-a-week correspondence gig for the Fox 5 morning show in San Diego, for a series of segments about butts. Seriously.
Having previously been very adamant about her belief that women belong in the home and not in the White House, it's weird to hear Alexis talking about how no glass ceiling will hold her back from her career goals, like her dream of being the Katie Couric of National Booty Awareness Month.
Hopefully her newfound freedom won't turn her into one of those problematic "liberal" women. Whatever the case, it's good to see her evolving, at least in her own way, from the person who previously thought picking out her own outfit was the ultimate act of empowerment:
I think America is going through a liberal movement, and the older, more traditional marriage values are becoming something of the past. Jim and I are one couple who still favor a more traditional marriage rather than a liberal marriage, and because we do, it makes my marriage an interesting conversation topic. However just because we have a more traditional marriage does not mean I do not make my own decisions. As you can see just in this one episode, I chose to wear the dress I wanted, not the dress that was Jim's first choice.

Richards, who has written a new book called Life Is Not a Reality Show, talked to Parade.com about the cast's painful second season, her relationship with Kim, and whether she'll return for another season.
On the drama-filled three-part reunion.
"It's very difficult, especially when [host] Andy Cohen asks us questions that we don't want to relive. But that's what the reunion is all about. We have to go back over these things. It's very painful at times, but we're expected to be honest. It's hard because we don't want to be, but we can't all just sit there and say 'Everybody looks so beautiful today' and 'How are the kids'?"
On her relationship with her Kim, who checked into rehab for alcohol addiction.
"I'm very happy to say that my relationship with Kim today is in the best place it's been in many years. We are having fun together and we're able to laugh and just be real sisters again."
On watching their tumultuous relationship play out on the small screen.
"For so long, people didn't know what was going on with her and what her issues were and I was holding everything in. I had a lot of anger for many years towards Kim about her issues. Watching the show, I realized that the way I was interacting with Kim and the way I was dealing with that situation with her wasn't getting me anywhere. Even though the comments I made were hurtful during the Season 1 finale, that's how I was feeling in the back of the limo that night. I was very angry, but I couldn't explain to the world why and how because I didn't want to reveal family secrets. But I sat back and said 'Ok, I can still learn from this.' Obviously, the way I was handling my relationship with Kim wasn't healthy, so there were some changes to be made."
On returning for a third season.
"Since Bravo has not announced a third season yet, we're all just taking the time to think if it's something we want to do because of what we've all been through. Yes, there are some good things that come with it, but it's a big price to pay being on a show like this. It's something you really have to think long and hard about. I'll have to sit down with my family and make it a family decision. There was more drama than we needed this year."
On the secret to having a long and successful marriage in Beverly Hills.
"Making each other the priority is really the number one thing. My husband and I are so busy right now, but we know when we're getting too wrapped up and need to pull back on the reins and remember our priorities. Mutual respect is an important thing in a relationship. We really make a point of letting each other know how much we love each other and that we appreciate each other."
On growing up in Beverly Hills.
"Because I was a child actress, I had a different experience than most who grew up in Beverly Hills. I was going to the set every day in Simi Valley and riding horses on the set of Little House on the Prairie and catching tadpoles in the stream. It gave me a glimpse into a different world, which I really appreciate now looking back as an adult. In Beverly Hills, everybody is very privileged and has help and drivers, so it was a nice break from that."
On why she's decided not to have nannies, stylists, or personal chefs (like many of her co-stars).
"I grew up in a town where everyone had so much and we always had nice things, but my mom was one of these women who liked to do everything herself. Even though we had housekeepers, she'd be right there with them and she would always do her own hair and makeup while all the other women were at salons. That was my role model growing up. It was always very important to my mom that we were down to earth. She made us clean our own rooms and wash our own cars. That's how I was raised and that's how I want my daughters to be raised. Plus, I enjoy it. I enjoy being with my kids. I don't want someone else driving my children to school. I want to be there with them in the car having those conversations."
On her famed locks.
"I think brunettes have more fun, what can I say! I know I have fun. As a child, I was a brunette in a sea of blondes in my family, but I've always loved being a brunette. I think people tend to take brunettes more seriously. It's funny how many viewers on the show will tweet me and ask, 'Did you trim your hair?' They don't miss a trick! Eventually, I will cut it. I don't know how short because I'm just not a short hair person. I wouldn't feel like myself."
