Ready for more 'Real Housewives'? Well, you better be if these rumors are true!Despite what Andy Cohen said (then backtracked on a tiny bit), more 'Real Housewives' shows are reportedly in works. Forget 'Real Housewives of Toronto' -- these shows are stateside in Las Vegas and Arizona.
A couple of months ago, Bravo honcho Andy Cohen told a magazine there weren't going to be more 'Real Housewives' shows after 'Real Housewives of Miami.' However, when our own Joel Keller asked Cohen about the state of the franchise, he seemed to hedge a bit and said, "... I mean, look, never say never, but I think we're really good right now."
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, the new 'Real Housewives of Las Vegas' is reportedly looking at entertainment reporter Alicia Jacobs, former Rao's executive chef Carla Pellegrino, Wayne Newton's publicist Tricia McCrone and X Girls producer Angela Sampras.
A local talent agent spilled the beans.
According to AZCentral.com, the Arizona pilot is supposedly being shot in Scottsville at a private party with Steve Nash's ex-wife Alejandra Nash and Tina Dwyer, ex of Dan Majerle, among the names.
However, Bravo rep Emily Yeomans told the site, "I've been getting a ton of emails about it all day, and I don't know where the rumor started. Bravo is currently not filming in Arizona. It's not us."
Earlier this month Bravo canceled its first 'Housewives' series, 'The Real Housewives of DC.'
Tell us: Do you think Bravo will add more 'Real Housewives' shows to the franchise?
