Producers of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are pulling out all the stops in their bid to spice things up in the 90210, and a surefire way to achieve that aim is their plan to lure Brandi Glanville‘s arch nemesis, LeAnn Rimes onto the hit show, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
“Producers have approached LeAnn multiple times about joining the cast and have been pursuing her even harder in recent weeks,” a source tells Radar. “Viewers are fascinated by Brandi, how she’s dealt with her marriage being broken up by LeAnn, and the pain that continues to cause her and her family.
“Executives at Bravo have told LeAnn that appearing on the show would be a great opportunity for her to get her side of the story out and no longer be seen in a negative light. However, she has continued to shut the offers down, claiming she doesn’t want the added drama in her life, that she has a flourishing music career, and that she just doesn’t need to do a reality television show.”
A significant number of the existing Beverly Hills cast are facing the ax from the show as producers put their current hiring and firing plans into action.
“The only cast members guaranteed to come back for the fourth season are Brandi and Lisa Vanderpump,” a show insider previously told Radar. “It’s no secret that Adrienne Maloof and Taylor Armstrong were already on the outs – but the other ladies, Kim and Kyle Richards, and Yolanda Foster are also on the chopping block.”
Brandi has suffered a series of set-backs in recent months including a health scare in December. However, the success of her new book is giving her much reason to celebrate following reports that she is now being recognized as a New York Times bestselling author.
In her book entitled "Drinking and Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders," the reality TV star shares details about her failed marriage to actor Eddie Cibrian and his infamous affair with LeAnn Rimes. The book has only been out for one week, but Glanville is already enjoying success.
The single mom divorced Cibrian, who is the father of her two young sons, in 2011 and months later Rimes, 30, went on to marry him. The two women have been embroiled in a nasty feud ever since with both constantly exchanging subtle insults via social networking site Twitter.
Brandi has been one busy little lady lately!
The star has landed the coveted role as a correspondent for the On The Red Carpet live stream show during the Oscars this Sunday, and she tells RumorFix that she’s “soooo thrilled!”
The beautiful blonde, who will serve as the show’s special fashion correspondent during the event, tells RumorFix exclusively that she had to meet up with the OTRC team “so they were sure I could have a convo with out dropping the F bomb!”
Hilarious!
