Brandi Glanville: 'Very Happy' To Join RHOBH

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.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 2 Dish

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 The "Beverly Hills Housewives" Staying

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.”

Adrienne Maloof Worried About Charlie Sheen

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."
