Bravo exec Andy Cohen denies reports the channel’s popular Real Housewives franchise is headed to Las Vegas and Scottsdale, Arizona.

Newspapers in both cities claim camera crews have been spotted shooting wealthy wives across town and testing out possible candidates for the shows. Among the women reportedly being filmed: Wayne Newton‘s publicist, Tricia McCrone (for Vegas) and Phoenix Suns basketball star Steve Nash‘s ex-wife, Alejandra (for Scottsdale).

But in a Tweet Friday, Cohen said, “Bravo is not shooting or casting for Vegas or Arizona Housewives. It is not true and we have no association to either project.”
