If the latest Bravo Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 5 gossip is true, none other than Three's Company, Mrs. Thigh Master herself, Suzanne Somers, is all set to join the cast in 2014 thanks to producer Andy Cohen. Housewives Kyle Richards, who have mostly kept their heads down following the Season 4 finale reunion recap, have confirmed that they are both returning to the reality TV series and have already started filming. Lisa Vanderpump has also reportedly confirmed her return, but one can only wonder if she wil still stick around after the far more famous Somers joined the show.
It's been very long time since anyone expected to see Step by Step star Suzanne Somers face on television, but that could all be about to change.
According to an insider who spoke to Life & Style Magazine Andy Cohen personally went to Somers to beg the 67-year-old starlet to join his show:
"Andy feels like she would be perfect for the show.
"Suzanne isn't mean so she wouldn't be backstabbing the ladies...She is so wacky and funny and eccentric that she would be great!
"[The other Housewives] would be jealous of her, of course.
"Suzanne is super excited to do it."
Soon-to-be jealous Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-strs Yolanda Foster and Kyle Richards have both separately confirmed to In Touch Weekly that they will be returning to the Bravo series.
"We began filming [the new season] a few days ago.
"It'll be great...things always start of slow in the beginning."
"Yes, [We'll] be back...I'm ready to go back."
Maybe for the premiere the Housewives can hold a séance to contact Somers deceased pal John Ritter...though someone has probably got to pay his SAG dues first.
