Denise Richards Headed To ‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’ Expected To Sign On Officially Next Week

Denise Richards is reportedly in the “final talks” with Bravo and “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” execs and expected to officially sign the contracts sometime next week.

Radar Online reports that Denise Richards, 47, will soon become the newest member of the elite “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Richards will soon be joining housewives, Lisa Vanderpump, Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, Lisa Rinna and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave and Kyle Richards.

Reports reveal that Denise Richards is a huge fan of the “Real Housewives Franchise and is also close friends with Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna. A source close to the production crew claims that the cast is “really excited” and looking forward to working with Denise. Denise Richards has reportedly been in talks with the network “for years,” but “the timing was never right” — until now! Denise is the mother of three daughters, Sam, 14, Lola, 13 and Eloise, 7. (Sam and Lola’s dad is Richards’ ex-husband Charlie Sheen.)

So does this mean “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” fans can look forward to seeing some Charlie Sheen drama added into the mix? At this time no other details have been shared concerning the potential storylines fans may expect to see unfold pertaining to Denise Richards. However, it will be interesting to see just how Denise Richards’ personality meshes or conflicts with some of the other strong-willed wives, particularly Erika Girardi and Dorit Kemsley.

As previously reported, rumors were swirling around earlier this year that Heather Locklear was a potential candidate for “RHOBH” however, Locklear’s recent legal and mental health issues and is currently undergoing treatment in a rehab facility. However, when Locklear gets her health and legal issues under control she would certainly make for an interesting addiction to the “RHOBH” cast.

“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” Season 9 returns to Bravo this winter.
