Are you sure that's a good idea? Brandi Glanville 'wants her arch enemy LeAnn Rimes to join the cast of Real Housewives'

Brandi Glanville wants LeAnn Rimes to join the cast of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.

While the pair have been involved in a public and bitter feud over LeAnn's current and Brandi's former husband Eddie Cibrian, Brandi, 40, wants LeAnn to join the reality series in order to make her look better. 

A source told RadarOnline: 'Brandi is a very smart cookie and thinks that if LeAnn were to join the cast, the audience would hate her even more.

'Brandi loves playing the victim and having LeAnn on the show would allow her to continue in that role as the long-suffering, spurned ex-wife.'

Brandi and Eddie – who have sons Mason, nine, and Jake, five together – split up after LeAnn, 30 and 39-year-old Eddie had an affair. 

It was recently revealed that The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills producers are also keen for LeAnn to join the show.

A source said: 'Producers have approached LeAnn multiple times about joining the cast and have been pursuing her even harder in recent weeks.

'Viewers are fascinated by Brandi, how she’s dealt with her marriage being broken up by LeAnn, and the pain that continues to cause her and her family.'

According to Radar Online, Brandi and her co-star Lisa Vanderpump are the only two housewives safe from a reported character cull off by Bravo.

An insider said on Wednesday: 'The only cast members guaranteed to come back for the fourth season of the smash hit reality franchise are Brandi Glanville and Lisa Vanderpump. 

'It’s no secret that Adrienne Maloof and Taylor Armstrong were already on the outs – but the other ladies, including Paris Hilton‘s aunts, Kim and Kyle Richards, and Yolanda Foster are also on the chopping block.

'Producers are looking for over-the-top cast members and would love to have Lionel Richie‘s wife, Brenda and Sylvester Stallone‘s wife, Jennifer on the show.'
