What a difference one season makes! Rumor has it that next season on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, there's a new bad girl on the block -- and it's not new cast member Brandi Glanville.

An insider told Radar Online that Taylor Armstrong has went from being a bit of a wallflower to the creator of chaos. She has apparently found her voice, and isn't holding back which is leading to some on-set tension and a lot of drama!

“Taylor has been getting counseling, which will be featured on the show this year, and she has been encouraged to stand-up for herself, and not let people, including her husband, Russell take advantage of her," the insider told Radar Online.

The new season is rumored to be premiering in October of this year.

Ayda Field Not Joining RHOBH Season 2

Who knows what to expect from the next season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but don’t expect to see Ayda Field. Despite months of rumors that the actress wife of Brit pop star Robbie Williams was being recruited to join the cast of the Bravo reality hit, a rep for Ayda tells Wetpaint, “She is not on the show. I haven’t heard anything.”

It makes more sense that Ayda isn’t being considered now that Brandi Glanville, the ex-wife of actor Eddie Cibrian, has signed on. We can’t see Bravo adding more than one new Housewife on this show given how hugely successful the original cast has been!

Brandi Glanville: 'Very Happy' To Join RHOBH

Brandi Glanville, the ex-wife of newlywed Eddie Cibrian, is getting her own time in the spotlight – as the newest castmate on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, a source confirms.

"She really wanted to be on the show, so she's very happy," the source tells PEOPLE

Glanville, 38, had been in negotiations to join the latest installment of Bravo's hit Real Housewives franchise since earlier this year. The network was also previously in talks with singer Robbie Williams' wife, Ayda Field, a source says.

Although no official announcement has been made by Bravo, Glanville has been hinting about her new gig for weeks, coyly Tweeting on April 9: "Moving to the hills of Beverly on April 22."

Glanville joins the rest of the feisty Housewives cast – Kim and Kyle Richards; Adrienne Maloof; Lisa VanderPump; Taylor Armstrong; and Camille Grammer – who are all set to return for a second season.

So, what should fans expect in season 2? A source tells PEOPLE that Kim Richards is a more assertive presence, while her sister, Kyle, has taken a more laid-back approach this year. In addition, the entire cast has been more accepting of Grammer, who sparred endlessly with Kyle and was a source of friction in season 1.

Meanwhile, Glanville isn't exactly a stranger to drama: Starting in 2009 she was engaged in public, off-screen, feud with her ex, Cibrian, with whom she split after eight years of marriage.

She has since made peace with her ex – with whom she has two sons. Cibrian married country star LeAnn Rimes last month.

OC Vicki Tells Brandi Glanville To "Be Careful"

Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson has strong words for Brandi Glanville, the ex-wife of LeAnn Rimes’ husband Eddie Cibrian, who is joining the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“Be careful,” she tells me at the Mint Jubilee Celebration surrounding the Kentucky Derby. “It’s not all glamour. You’re going to shed some real tears. You’re going to see people hurt you that you never thought could hurt you before. I think she’s in for a rude awakening. It’s not all fun at times, but the experiences have been that of a lifetime. I wouldn’t change it for the world. It’s been great.”

Hm, what does he think of her Beverly Hills counterparts?

“I met all the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and they were lovely ladies,” she says. “It’s interesting that they would throw another franchise in the same one-hour distance from us, but we’re very different in regards to lifestyle and money. I mean, I wish I had their money. I don’t. We’re more of the middle-class of California, whereas they’re absolutely the upper class. I think that the viewers like California, they like the lifestyle, they like the color scheme, and both of our shows are being a hit because of that.”

Vicki, who debuted on the show in 2007, confesses that her portion of the reality show is as real as it gets.

“I just know my story’s all true. I don’t know what the other girls are doing. This is a reality TV show, and I feel like a lot of it is being lost in this pre-thinking about what we’re going to film. I don’t do that; my life is my life. When I cry, I cry real tears. When I laugh, I’m woo-hooing. I don’t know what the other women are up to; I stay focused on myself, my career, my family, and I try to do the right thing.”

What misconceptions could she clear up about herself?

“I think people love me or hate me,” she says.  “There’s no middle of the road. I’m lucky today at the Oaks, I had so many people come up and cry and say I’ve given them inspiration as a woman, and taught them good work ethic. They complimented me on being a good mother. If there’s anything negative, I don’t hear it. I try to stay away from the blogs and the bad things. I think the bad would be that I’m insensitive and I’m too hard, but I’m not. I’m compassionate and caring about other people. I give back to our community, and I love my work and my family. If that’s what makes me a bad person, then so be it.”

Eddie Cibrian to Ex: Keep Kids Off 'Housewives'

Eddie Cibrian is adamant he does not want his ex-wife Brandi Glanville to put their kids on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills -- and we're told he's ready to go to court over it.

According to sources, Brandi's pissed -- telling friends Eddie is imposing a HUGE double standard ... because he and the kids JUST appeared in a massive spread in People magazine ... with LeAnn Rimes.

TMZ spoke to Eddie's rep ... who confirms Eddie doesn't want their children involved in "Real Housewives" in any way whatsoever.

Meet The New Real Housewife Of Beverly Hills

Well, it's official!

A source dishes to us that Brandi Glanville has signed on the dotted line and is the newest castmember to join Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

And Glanville has already started shooting!

Our supersly source also tells us that all of the women from season one of Real Housewives will be back for season two.

So how exactly did Glanville beat out all the other Beverly Hills hopefuls and get the gig?

"Bravo actually had an offer out to Robbie Williams' wife, actress Ayda Field, but it didn't work out because of contractual issues," the source tells us. "That left an open spot for Brandi, and they are excited she is joining the cast. Everyone is getting along fine...for now."

While Bravo will only confirm the show is returning for season two, our solid source adds that Kyle Richards' BFF, the "morally corrupt" (Camille Grammer's words, not ours) Faye Resnick will also be featured more on season two of the hit show.

No word yet on whether or not Glanville's relationship with Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn will be a storyline in the show, but we can only hope as much!

Either way, sounds like LeAnn Rimes is in for a major reality check!

Brandi Glanville, Jessica Hall: BH Housewives?

Rumors have been swirling over who will sign on as the new cast members of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. We hear that there’s truth to new reports saying Brandi Glanville is signing on and also have new scoop that Playboy playmate Jessica Hall is in talks to sign as well!

“Brandi has already started filming,” a source close to the show tells us. “She hasn’t officially signed anything yet but she’s interacted with members of the cast on camera.”

Another insider tells us that Jessica Hall is “negotiating her contract” with Bravo. This would explain why Jessica brought Alex Baskin, an executive producer of the show, as her guest to the Playboy Japan Benefit at Colony last week.

There is still speculation that Faye Resnick and Jillian Barberie have discussed offers as well.

Brandi Glanville May Join The Cast Of RHOBH

After Eddie Cibrian left her in 2009 for country singer LeAnn Rimes, 38-year-old model Brandi Glanville may finally be getting her revenge.

A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that Glanville is in talks to join Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. One likely plotline? Her issues with Cibrian, 37, and Rimes, 28.

"Wouldn't you be upset with them?" asks a source close to the mom of sons Mason, 7, and Jake, 4.

The dysfunctional family drama hit a new low April 22 when Cibrian and Rimes got married -- without giving his sons so much as a warning! "They didn't know about the wedding at all," the tailor who fitted the boys' tuxedos tells Us. "When the older one asked, 'Why am I putting this on, Daddy?' his father didn't answer."

At the ceremony, "they were so confused," adds a second source, who adds that the newlyweds were "too busy partying" to tend to the boys.

Still, a Rimes source counters: "The boys were told about the wedding three days in advance."
