Stars Denied 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Spots, Disney Readies 'Tron' Cartoon and More

Lisa Rinna, a cast member of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'? Almost, according to PerezHilton.com.

Rinna was among one of the more than 500 women who came out to audition for the Bravo reality series. Other famous names who didn't make the cut include Marla Maples, Shawn King and Alana Stewart.

Don't feel too sorry for Rinna, she's got her TV Land reality series and is part of the new 'Celebrity Apprentice.' However, it would be fun to see her tangle with some of those 'Beverly Hills' ladies.
