Has Kelsey Grammer's ex-wife Camille Grammer been ordered in their divorce settlement to shut up about their painful split and calm down on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?

After hitting the jackpot in her recent divorce settlement with the "Frasier" star -- and facing a custody battle for their kids -- Camille has returned to the show's second-season tapings "subdued."

So much so that Bravo producers are finding her character -- which provided a lot of the crazy entertainment in Season 1 -- "really boring," according to sources, one of whom added, "Producers have told Camille she has to start being more interesting and causing more drama."

"Nobody knows what's in that divorce settlement," says a source close to the show. "But I would not be surprised if she could not discuss certain things. She's checking what comes out of her mouth, and the producers are pushing for the cast to be as naughty and as full-on as possible."

A rep for Camille said sternly, "We have never discussed Season 2, and won't." A Bravo rep also declined to comment.

The network has not announced the new season cast or when it will begin airing, but reports say all original members are back.

Who knows what to expect from the next season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but don’t expect to see Ayda Field. Despite months of rumors that the actress wife of Brit pop star Robbie Williams was being recruited to join the cast of the Bravo reality hit, a rep for Ayda tells Wetpaint, “She is not on the show. I haven’t heard anything.”

It makes more sense that Ayda isn’t being considered now that Brandi Glanville, the ex-wife of actor Eddie Cibrian, has signed on. We can’t see Bravo adding more than one new Housewife on this show given how hugely successful the original cast has been!

Brandi Glanville, the ex-wife of newlywed Eddie Cibrian, is getting her own time in the spotlight – as the newest castmate on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, a source confirms.

"She really wanted to be on the show, so she's very happy," the source tells PEOPLE

Glanville, 38, had been in negotiations to join the latest installment of Bravo's hit Real Housewives franchise since earlier this year. The network was also previously in talks with singer Robbie Williams' wife, Ayda Field, a source says.

Although no official announcement has been made by Bravo, Glanville has been hinting about her new gig for weeks, coyly Tweeting on April 9: "Moving to the hills of Beverly on April 22."

Glanville joins the rest of the feisty Housewives cast – Kim and Kyle Richards; Adrienne Maloof; Lisa VanderPump; Taylor Armstrong; and Camille Grammer – who are all set to return for a second season.

So, what should fans expect in season 2? A source tells PEOPLE that Kim Richards is a more assertive presence, while her sister, Kyle, has taken a more laid-back approach this year. In addition, the entire cast has been more accepting of Grammer, who sparred endlessly with Kyle and was a source of friction in season 1.

Meanwhile, Glanville isn't exactly a stranger to drama: Starting in 2009 she was engaged in public, off-screen, feud with her ex, Cibrian, with whom she split after eight years of marriage.

She has since made peace with her ex – with whom she has two sons. Cibrian married country star LeAnn Rimes last month.

Eddie Cibrian is adamant he does not want his ex-wife Brandi Glanville to put their kids on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills -- and we're told he's ready to go to court over it.

TMZ broke the story ... Brandi will star on the next season of the show -- and according to sources, Eddie wants to make sure Brandi doesn't drag their kids along for the ride ... threatening legal action if their two children make any kind of cameo appearance.

According to sources, Brandi's pissed -- telling friends Eddie is imposing a HUGE double standard ... because he and the kids JUST appeared in a massive spread in People magazine ... with LeAnn Rimes.

TMZ spoke to Eddie's rep ... who confirms Eddie doesn't want their children involved in "Real Housewives" in any way whatsoever.

Well, it's official!

A source dishes to us that Brandi Glanville has signed on the dotted line and is the newest castmember to join Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

And Glanville has already started shooting!

Our supersly source also tells us that all of the women from season one of Real Housewives will be back for season two.

So how exactly did Glanville beat out all the other Beverly Hills hopefuls and get the gig?

"Bravo actually had an offer out to Robbie Williams' wife, actress Ayda Field, but it didn't work out because of contractual issues," the source tells us. "That left an open spot for Brandi, and they are excited she is joining the cast. Everyone is getting along fine...for now."

While Bravo will only confirm the show is returning for season two, our solid source adds that Kyle Richards' BFF, the "morally corrupt" (Camille Grammer's words, not ours) Faye Resnick will also be featured more on season two of the hit show.

No word yet on whether or not Glanville's relationship with Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn will be a storyline in the show, but we can only hope as much!

Either way, sounds like LeAnn Rimes is in for a major reality check!

Get ready to rock your Vanderpumps and straighten out your Grammer because Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will be returning to a TV screen near you! Actually Bravo hasn’t confirmed this but none other than Camille Grammer confirmed that the wives are set for a second season! According to TMZ she made this statement today during an appearance at the John Wayne Cancer Institute Associates for Breast Cancer Studies Mother’s Day Luncheon in L.A.

This is wonderful news and it looks like their is a probable addition to the crew as rumors are swelling that Brandi Glanville will become part of the cast. If you aren’t familiar, Glanville is the ex of actor Eddie Cibrian who is now hooked up with country-pop singer LeAnn Rimes.

Rimes has repeatedly attempted to clear her husband stealing rep but in the process posted a rather creepy stalkeresque bikini photo of herself that was a double of a twit-pic from Glanville. Brandi wasn’t too happy with Rimes when her marriage fell apart as you can imagine but the parties involved have since made kind-of-nice in a Twitter truce. Brandi and Eddie have two sons and all three adults have been seen together in celebration of one of the boy’s birthdays.

Camille’s story line involving her split from Kelsey Grammer was a good one for the show and Bravo may be looking to repeat that success by following Brandi as she works on raising her two boys while having to see LeAnn’s 400 tweets a day about how happy she is with Eddie.

The above photo was taken at today’s event. Camille was in attendance (and was the host) with her mother and both looked fabulous with Miss CG seriously pretty in pink.

Move over Camille Grammer -- TMZ has learned ... Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife Brandi Glanville has been selected to star in the next season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Sources close to the production tell TMZ, Brandi inked the deal very recently -- and has already begun shooting scenes for the show.

Camille herself made an official announcement today during a cancer research event at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons -- RHOBH will be returning later this year for another season.

So far, no official comment from Brandi or Bravo.

Rumors have been swirling over who will sign on as the new cast members of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. We hear that there’s truth to new reports saying Brandi Glanville is signing on and also have new scoop that Playboy playmate Jessica Hall is in talks to sign as well!

“Brandi has already started filming,” a source close to the show tells us. “She hasn’t officially signed anything yet but she’s interacted with members of the cast on camera.”

Another insider tells us that Jessica Hall is “negotiating her contract” with Bravo. This would explain why Jessica brought Alex Baskin, an executive producer of the show, as her guest to the Playboy Japan Benefit at Colony last week.

There is still speculation that Faye Resnick and Jillian Barberie have discussed offers as well.

We'll get to the possibility that Real Housewives of Miami will be renewed for another season in a moment. But first you gotta hear what one of the South Florida gals is saying about her New York counterparts.

Adriana De Moura-Sidi is not a fan of the Big Apple installment of Bravo's hit franchise. But it wasn't always that way...

De Moura-Sidi misses the Skinnygirl Margarita princess. "Bethenny Frankel was my favorite," De Moura-Sidi told Marc Malkin and Michael Yo in Miami at the Billboard Latin Music Awards. "I don't think it's the same without her. I think it's a bunch of matronly women trying to look hot."

As for RHOM coming back for a second season, De Moura-Sidi didn't pull an "I don't know" or "I can't comment."

Instead, she said with a smile, "We can't officially say it yet, but I'm pretty sure...I'm pretty confident..."

After Eddie Cibrian left her in 2009 for country singer LeAnn Rimes, 38-year-old model Brandi Glanville may finally be getting her revenge.

A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that Glanville is in talks to join Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. One likely plotline? Her issues with Cibrian, 37, and Rimes, 28.

"Wouldn't you be upset with them?" asks a source close to the mom of sons Mason, 7, and Jake, 4.

The dysfunctional family drama hit a new low April 22 when Cibrian and Rimes got married -- without giving his sons so much as a warning! "They didn't know about the wedding at all," the tailor who fitted the boys' tuxedos tells Us. "When the older one asked, 'Why am I putting this on, Daddy?' his father didn't answer."

At the ceremony, "they were so confused," adds a second source, who adds that the newlyweds were "too busy partying" to tend to the boys.

Still, a Rimes source counters: "The boys were told about the wedding three days in advance."

Taylor Armstrong and her husband endured some marital strife on the first season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and an insider tells Hollywood Life that next season the drama will continue. In fact, Taylor “is looking like quite the hot mess” in the episodes being filmed right now.

“Taylor’s a sweet girl,” says our spy, “but the housewives are all starting to get a little bit worried about her erratic behavior recently. She’s not acting like herself.”

The insider says that the reality star has been acting out in front of the cameras, and thinks Taylor’s husband Russell is to blame. “Russell and Taylor’s problems last season are still there this season,” says the insider. “They got into a loud argument in front of some Bravo execs at a dinner a few weeks ago.”

In the past Russell has said the show saved their marriage, but it sounds like there are still some issues they are working on in Season 2.

In fact, Taylor, 40, is looking so extremely thin these days that her friends are worried that the stress is affecting her health. “She is barely eating,” a friend tells Star magazine.

Taylor has always been one of our favorites, so we are hoping that any troubles she may have are temporary, and that she finds happiness.

Kyle Richards may be a Housewife no more.

Reports surfaced that the entire cast of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills had signed on to return for a second season, with shooting beginning last week, Richards is now telling us a different tale...

"The show has been picked up for a second season, but I'm not sure if I'm coming back yet," Richards told E! News at the Los Angeles Lakers' Casino Night on Sunday at the Staples Center.

Richards also revealed that she's not the only castmember who's unsure about a return to the show.

"We're not really sure who's coming back yet, so we'll see," she said.

"Right now we're deciding. It's a family decision between my husband, my kids and I, and we have a little time to decide and I'm kind of deciding what I want to do," Richards said.

Before they hit the red carpet at Bravo's L.A. upfront party yesterday, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ladies were clearly instructed to be supercagey about everything; half of them were still pretending like they didn't know if there was going to be a season two (it was ordered yesterday), but we think we got a wink from Lisa Vanderpump that they're already underway on the new season.

There have been heaps of will-they or won't-they gossip swirling around the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and exactly which nipped and tucked castmembers will return. But what's for real, here?

Team Truth can officially confirm that Camille Grammer has signed on the dotted line to return for season two and that Bravo is zeroing in on a new castmember.

"There's two contenders to join the cast," a source close to production tells us. "It is between Faye Resnick and Ayda Field. If I were to put money on it, I would say Ayda will be the new castmember."

Field, a pretty blonde soap actress with less plastic surgery (apparently) than the rest of the current cast, is married to pop star Robbie Williams. Hmmm, sounds like both spouses could use the show to give their careers a much needed boost?

A rep for Field would only confirm, "We've been approached."

And, of course, those who watched the first season of RHOBH will remember Kyle Richard's BFF Resnick, whom Camille Grammer famously referred to as "the morally corrupt Faye Resnick," in reference to her Playboy spread following the O.J. Simpson trial.

"Faye is shooting for the show already because she is an actual friend of the cast," explains the insider. "It is still unclear if Faye will remain a friend or become a central character on the show."

But Bravo had better figure it out fast, because the source tells us that the show started officially shooting on Tuesday!

As reported on Thursday (March 24), news that Bravo would not be renewing the Real Housewives of DC for a second season spread on the Internet.

And even though the network clearly stated that it had not made a decision regarding the show's Season 2, the reports continued. Now, one of the cast members wants to set the record straight.

"There's no official announcement," cast member Lynda Erkiletian tells Zap2it exclusively. "There's no way. [Cast member Cat Ommanney] is going on Watch What Happens Live on the 28th. One might wonder why [Andy Cohen is] having a DC housewife as a guest [if the show is canceled]."

"There's negotiations taking place," she adds. "And no decision has taken place. Whoever started the rumor was basically doing it for attention."

Faye Resnick stirred up drama with Camille Grammer last season on Real Housewives of Bevely Hills when she joined Kyle Richards at Camille’s dinner party. Now, a source tells Hollywood Life. that she has spoken with producers about joining the new season as an official housewife!

“Faye has met with producers and there is a lot of interest from the show’s fans to have her on,” says a source close to the show. “I don’t have word yet on whether she has officially signed on, but I do know that she was being seriously considered.”

Faye is known for testifying against O.J. Simpson in his trial, she was close friends with Nicole Brown. In episode 9 of the first season of RHOBH, Camille called Faye out for using her friend’s murder for fame. A catfight involving Kyle ensued.

A spokesperson for Bravo refused to comment on whether Faye was signing on, saying, “We haven’t announced anything regarding season two yet.”

It’s hard to imagine the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills becoming even more dramatic and entertaining than it already is, but from the sound of it, season two is going to knock season one out of the park! A show insider tells Hollywood Life the hit reality show has already started filming new episodes and you’ll love what Bravo has up its sleeves.

“I know Bravo is telling everyone to ‘not officially announce anything,’ but I personally know for sure they have already started filming for season two and they have offered a few people contracts to be new castmembers on the show,” our source reveals to us, adding, “They will have new cast members. But that doesn’t mean anyone is leaving.”

The insider says Bravo is sparing no expense in making this season even more dramatic than before. “From what I know, they are trying to really up their game for season two,” our source explains. “They are going to feature more celebrities and more group trips with the girls.”

Hmm…does that mean we’ll see Adrienne Maloof’s husband hanging out more with his pal, Mark Wahlberg? Perhaps more Paris Hilton sitings? Whatever they have planned, we cannot wait to see.

When we contacted Bravo for a comment, publicists didn’t deny the report, simply telling us, “Our only comment is that we haven’t announced anything regarding a season two.”

All of our favorite ladies from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are resigning their contracts with the show for a second season, Hollywood Life exclusively confirms. Camille Grammer, Taylor Armstrong and Kim Richards were on the fence but they all said yes today.

“Taylor was hesitating because of the spotlight on her marriage which caused problems for her and her husband Russell, who is actually a genuinely good man,” says a source close to Lisa Vanderpump, another star of the show. “They actually have a pretty happy marriage but it wasn’t portrayed that way, but she wants another chance at showing how they really are in love with each other.”

And as for Camille? “She had the hardest decision to make after dealing with Kelsey so blatantly rushing to marry his mistress (Kayte Walsh), and she has her children to worry about,” reveals our insider. “But she is holding on strong for her children and we’ll be able to see how she deals with the grief in the new season. I’m sure she will show how dignified she can be in the face of her traumatic experience.”

“Kim and her sister Kyle obviously have a lot to work on, but they have both signed on as well,” continues our source.

“They are all very excited and will try to be more savvy about how they portray themselves. In reality, they get along better off-camera and want to show they aren’t just about shopping and cattiness.”

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof says she's worried about her friend Charlie Sheen.

"Charlie's been our neighbor and our friend for quite some time," Maloof tells USA TODAY's Cindy Clark. "Yes, it's a little disturbing some of the things that he says, and I don't really know Charlie to be that way. I give him my support and love. He's really actually a wonderful person and I just don't understand this other side to him, and hopefully he works though this."

Maloof, who showed up this morning for the National Education Association's Read Across America Day at the Library of Congress, found herself unwillingly involved in Sheen's antics when her husband Dr. Paul Nassif called 911 in January to report that Sheen was intoxicated and in pain.

Nassif, a physician, also appears with his businesswoman and philanthropist wife on the Bravo reality TV show, which may be back for a second season. There's no official word yet, "but it's probably going to happen sooner than later with our ratings," says Maloof, who says she will be back on the show. "I'm not really supposed to say, but more than likely yes," she says with a smile.

"Hopefully all the girls will come back, it's a great cast. It'd be crazy for Camille not to come back … she's got a whole other side to her," says Maloof of co-star Camille Grammer, who stirred up some drama last season. "We're all pretty busy, but I do run into them," says Maloof of her off-season relationships with her co-stars. "They're lovely girls. We have our differences, but let me tell you, when you get six women together, you're going to have drama," adding that "it's very real. There's very minimal editing."
