It's not easy being the new 'Real Housewives' on the block. Brandi Glanville and Dana Wilkey went on 'The Wendy Williams Show' (weekdays, syndicated on Fox) to talk about the less-than-kind reception they received upon joining 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' and Brandi discussed her divorce from canceled 'Playboy Club' actor Eddie Cibrian.

Wendy got right to the point, showing a montage of Kyle Richards ripping on Brandi and immediately asking why Kim and Kyle hate her so much. "I wish I knew ... they brought two new girls in, and I think they were all like 'wait, someone's getting fired...'" she said. Wendy pointed out that whenever a young new girl comes on the scene, the claws usually come out.

Look out! The post-premiere-season cancellation axe is swinging, and no star is safe. So far, four shows have fallen -- taking with them everyone from Kathryn Hahn ('Free Agents') to Johnny Drama ('How to Be a Gentleman') -- and more are sure to follow.

But there's no reason one bad project should banish '24' veteran Mary Lynn Rajskub or 'Flight of the Conchords' genius Rhys Darby from our TV screens -- or, perhaps worse, relegate them to one-off-guest-star obscurity.

To remedy this situation, AOL TV has some free advice for casting directors: together, we can find new homes for the undeserving victims of fall 2011.

Call it bad luck, bad karma or pure coincidence, but Eddie Cibrian might just be having the worst week ever.

First his primetime comeback as Don Draper impersonator Nick Dalton in NBC's 'The Playboy Club,' gets canceled. Then, on the same day as the canellation news broke, he was injured on 'The Playboy Club' set when his heel got caught under a 200-pound steel door. That's one way to add insult to injury.

Cibrian was reportedly taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital to treat the deep gash on his foot. But unfortunately for Cibrian, that's not all that happened this week ... and it's only Wednesday.

The old saying is "add insult to injury," but it was the reverse for 'Playboy Club' star Eddie Cibrian, who was injured on the set of his now-canceled series.

The actor was injured on Tuesday night, the same day NBC canceled the fledgling show.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Cibrian injured his right heel. The actor was running down an alley on the show's set and caught his heel under a 200-pound steel door.

Cibrian was treated for a deep gash on his foot at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

'The Playboy Club' has been attracting a lot of negative attention lately, as complaints from the PTC and low ratings have put the glitzy '60s drama on cancellation watch. Eddie Cibrian went on 'Rachael Ray' (weekdays, syndicated on ABC) to defend the show against charges of misogyny, but couldn't bring himself to take issue with claims that it's too sexy.

"Our show has nothing to do with the Playboy Empire at all ... it has to do with Chicago in the 1960s and the Playboy Club where all the top entertainers, mobsters and politicos would come and rub shoulders ... good storytelling is what we're doing," Cibrian insisted.

Eddie Cibrian's ex wife, Brandi Glanville, ruffled more than a few feathers on this week's 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' (Mon., 10PM ET on Bravo).

Lisa is already feeling hostile to Brandi because she'd seen paparazzi pics of her with Lisa's live-in personal factotum, Cedric. Not cool, Brandi.

Then Brandi muscles into the 'Housewives' world even further by arriving at Kyle's cocktail party with Adrienne. Ever the glamorpuss, Glanville doesn't let a little thing like a broken leg stop her from accessorizing her outfit with a killer stilleto, but the women don't like it. Or her, it seems.

Talking about the party afterward, Brandi (and her bra) introduces herself: "I was married to the number one d*****bag of all time ... Eddie Cibrian. He's an 'actor.'" Although she says "I'm kidding," we're not so sure she means it.

She continues to twist the knife, adding that the 'Playboy Club' star is "really good-looking. That's what he does." Meow. Beware a woman scorned with access to a reality TV show.

Amid a storm of controversy based more on the name of the show and its magazine association than its content, 'The Playboy Club' (Mon., 10PM ET on NBC) premiered with a mystery and a pretty damned good Jon Hamm impersonation.

It's one thing to try and capture the cool swagger of 'Mad Men's Don Draper in a show set in the same decade, but Eddie Cibrian mimicked everything from his icy cool gaze to the pitch, tone and even cadence of his speech.

If this were 'Saturday Night Live,' we'd be applauding the impression, but we're supposed to take him seriously here. Cibrian did start to find his own voice as the episode progressed, which was encouraging and far less distracting.

LeAnn Rimes is not a diva -- she just plays one on TV.

This Sunday, the singer/actress will guest star on the season premiere of the Lifetime series 'Drop Dead Diva,' which stars Brooke Elliott whose model character (Deb) was plopped into the body of a savvy lawyer named Jane. Hiliarty, songs and guest stars continue as the show celebrates season 3.

Rimes will play the ex-wife of a movie star accused of hit and run. Is the show capitalizing on her off-screen life with new hubby Eddie Cibrian, star of the NBC fall series 'The Playboy Club?' Maybe. But the important thing is that Rimes is walking into the role hoping to poke fun at all the perceived drama that has surrounded her life.

AOL TV spoke to the actress about why she took on this particular role, how she and Cibrian handle being written about in the tabloids, her first gig with 'Supernatural' hunk Jensen Ackles and much more.

Back in February, we reported the story that Eddie Cibrian's ex, Brandi Glanville -- the one he cheated on with his now-second wife LeAnn Rimes -- was possibly in talks to join the cast of Bravo's 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' for its second season.

Now, TMZ is saying that the scorned Glanville is a go for the 'Housewives' treatment. "Sources close to the production tell TMZ, Brandi inked the deal very recently -- and has already begun shooting scenes for the show."

Bravo has only confirmed that there will be a second season of the show, and has not commented on any cast changes, but judging by Glanville's heated back-and-forths with Cibrian and Rimes, she'll bring plenty of drama to La-La Land.

The model may already be chummy with the 'RHOBH' gals: She's seen here with one of the show's star Adrienne Maloof, as well as Donald Trump's ex Marla Maples. (Now she'd make for some good TV!)

"Last year was a really tough year for me," says singer LeAnn Rimes. And that's the truth. The fallout from her divorce and her well-publicized affair with actor Eddie Cibrian continues. This October, she made waves by appearing in 'Shape Magazine,' of all things. Some readers were upset that an "adulteress" was in the magazine, the editor apologized for putting her on the cover, LeAnn was angered by the apology, there was an apology for the apology ... it got weird.

It was a traumatic end to the year. Rimes' divorce was finalized in June, but people haven't gotten over the affair involving "America's Sweetheart." On the first-ever 'CMA Country Christmas' special (Mon., 9:30PM ET on ABC). LeAnn reflected on past events -- since that's what the holidays are for; it's a time of reflection as well as gift-giving. The singer also shed some tears, which hopefully isn't what the holidays are for.

Ms. Rimes discussed the rough time she's had, saying that she sent out a special Christmas letter to the friends who were "there for [her] night and day" during her divorce and subsequent "scandalous" period. While she talked about this, the singer's eyes started to well up. "I am so gonna start crying," she said. And then she did.

All's fair in love and war. A segment of Wednesday's 'The Talk' (weekdays, syndicated on CBS) revolved around LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian's affair, which ended both their marriages. After a clip of Rimes and Cibrian, Sharon Osbourne revealed that she has no regrets for stealing husband Ozzy from his wife and children because it turned out so well.

It's a "tough situation since I did what she did but we've been together 30 years," Osbourne said. "I stole him and I'm happy I did .. it worked out good in the end. You can't point fingers at people in relationships like this cause you never know what's going on."

It's not often a guy gets an apology from a public official. But that's just what Jesse Cardoza receives from the LAPD on 'CSI: Miami' (Mon, 10PM ET on CBS). And at a public news conference, too.

And we really need to see more of Paul Blackthorne. Let's get him his own show, rather than here-and-there guest spots on this show, 'Leverage' and 'Burn Notice.' Any casting directors out there listening?

On 'Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live,' celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay prepared a three-course meal at breakneck speed, and still found time to pepper LeAnn Rimes with questions on a recent tabloid story.

Ramsay didn't touch on Rimes' highly-publicized affair with actor Eddie Cibrian. Instead, he brought up a tabloid story detailing a string of three car accidents the country singer allegedly had over the past six months.

After the breakout success of Lost in 2004, the following year saw three big-budget attempts at science fiction series with dense continuity. Unfortunately, it also saw those three series ultimately fail to hang on to their viewers, through internal problems or network mismanagement, and fans were left with three frustrating cliffhangers.

While they were allowed to complete more episodes than many series that followed them, I suspect this trinity of cancellations is a big reason current TV viewers are nervous about jumping on board complex shows with intricate continuity and details.

I watched Surface, Threshold and Invasion that season, but always found myself much more involved with the stories and drama unfolding on the latter of the three. Despite Katrina-related sensitivity due to its hurricane-themed opening, Invasion did an amazing job of building tension during a possible alien infiltration. V could learn a thing or two from this show.
