Bravo did just that as it announced that its newest addition to the franchise, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, returns for Season 2 on Monday, Sept. 5. with “two new friends”: Adrienne Maloof’s pal, Brandi Glanville (actor Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife) and Taylor Armstrong’s pal, Dana Wilkey – the worst-kept casting secrets we’ve seen in a long while.

Other changes in the upcoming season inlcude last season's lovesick Kim Richards now has a boyfriend. On the other hand, Camille Grammer is single after her marriage with Kelsey Grammer unraveled during Season 1 (as if you didn't know).
