Damn, Bravo gave us the one two punch with Housewives related news this week. First we got the bitchfest known as the Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion (commentary here), and now we have the “official” Bravo announcement of the premiere date date for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the sixth installment of Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise. Mazel, Bravo, for keeping us on our toes!
The new cast, which was basically confirmed a while back from various news sources, is the first to include six women from the start and each women have socialite notoriety before getting their Housewives status, so this should make for great TV as their personalities collide. Let’s see who Bravo has picked to represent the glamourous world of Beverly Hills?
Camille Grammer
• What Bravo Says… – Was married to Kelsey Grammer for 13 years (kids Jude and Mason came from that union) and co-owner of Grammnet Inc., which produces shows like Medium, The Game, and Girlfriends. She also owns rare first collections of novels like The Sound and the Fury and Pride and Prejudice. Camille is a triple threat in acting, dancing, and modeling; appearing in numerous shows, movies, and Club MTV back in the day.
• What We Know… – “Was married” is the key word here for Camille as she and Kelsey Grammer were going through a divorce as the show was being filmed. That painful, and possibly ugly, situation could be a focal point on the show, but the real question is how much of that will we actually see?
Taylor Armstrong
• What Bravo Says... - An Oklahoma native who recently migrated to Beverly Hills 7 years ago. She runs her own SAP firm named elmplement, Inc and also devotes her time to 1736 Family Crisis Center, a non-profit for domestic violence victims. Taylor’s brains go hand in hand with her beauty, which she keeps up so that her husband, venture capitalist Russell Armstrong, won’t have a wandering eye in the town of plastic and silicone. The two have a 4-yr old daughter named Kennedy, who has a $50,000 birthday bash this season. Wow.
• What We Know… – Not much other than what was given to us in the press release and the preview clip, which clearly states that she and her husband are having issues.
Lisa VanderPump – Todd
• What Bravo Says… – Another native Brit, but with more sugar than Cat’s (of D.C. Housewives) spice. She’s stayed in the South of France and Monte Carlo, as well as her home city of London (envy her already) and has designed everything from houses to yachts to bars. Lisa also is the owner of two of the hottest restaurants in the area, Sur in West Hollywood and Villa Blanca, where celebrities are said to roam and be noticed. Family wise, Lisa is married to Ken Todd with two children, Brian (18) and Pandora (24). Along with the family are four dogs, one of which is named Giggy, who Lisa has dubbed the gigolo, who sleeps with her every night. Wow. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg of accomplishments, Mrs. VanderPump-Todd has on her resume.
• What We Say… – We love her already. 1) She’s British. 2) Independent 3). She calls her dog her gigolo. Come on! What’sNOT to love about her?!?!
Adrienne Maloof
• What Bravo Says… – Married to Dr. Paul Nassif (of Dr. 90201 fame), Adrienne is an entrepreneur and part of the dynasty that is the Maloof Family Dynasty, responsible for the Sacramento Kings and The Palms Casino resort (on top of other things). While not a Beverly Hills native (she’s from New Mexico), Adrienne has 15 years under her belt in the glamourous zip code and has made a name for herself along with that of her family. Philanthropist and business woman aside, she is all about her family and raising her two sons, eldest Gavin (7) and twins Christian and Colin (4).
• What We Say… – Seems like her brood is a bit obsessive with the botox/plastic surgery, but we are eager to see how much she brings to the table. Oh and her mansion looks as if it can hold three mansions. Maybe more.
Kim Richards
• What Bravo Says… – Former Disney Film Princess in her heyday, Kim is the aunt of notorious socialites Paris and Nicky Hilton and is the older sister of fellow Housewife Kyle Richards. Currently single, Kim has four children Brooke (24), Whitney (20), Chad (19), and Kimberly (15) that she devotes a lot of her time to, which Kyle disapproves of. Oh, the two Richards sisters are not as family oriented as New Jersey’s Caroline’s brood. They might will want to take lessons in that. In other endeavors, Kim wants to do a line of jewelry and water bottles where the proceeds will go to charity. In her niece Paris’s words, “That’s hot.”
• What We Say… – We love a good sibling catfight and it seems that she and Kyle will bring the goods.
Kyle Richards
• What Bravo Says… – While Kim retired early from acting, Kyle stayed in the field, with a most recent role in Paris’s 2006 college comedy, “Pledge This”. Horror aficionados might remember Kyle as Lindsay Wallace in the original “Halloween”. Nowadays Kyle is an advocate in the fight for cancer and is married to Hilton & Hyland realtor, Mauricio Umansky. The two have four kids: Farrah (21), Alexia (14), Sophia (10), and Portia (2).
• What We Say… – Wait. She has FOUR KIDS??!? And One of them is 21??!?!?! WOW!!!!! It’s quite interesting to see little Lindsay Wallace grown up, but it will be more interesting to see Ms. Temper Tantrum throw multiple fits this season.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will enter our household on Oct 14, right after The Real Housewives of D.C. finishes their run. Until then, here’s a three-minute plus clip of what to expect this year.
