For the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, I suppose this could be entertaining. Kevin Costner, a well-known actor in film and television, just got divorced. Kevin’s private life became public during the difficult battle that was covered by the media. Christine Baumgartner, Kevin’s ex-wife, moved from being a low-key wife to a high-profile divorcee.
Christine might be looking for work now that she is independent. According to rumors, Bravo is smelling her front door. Christine may have misplaced her engagement ring, but will she ever get another diamond? Kyle Richards should be worried that someone is trying to steal her spotlight, right? The details are on radar.
All I want to know is if Rip Wheeler will show up
Rumors are swirling that ex-Mrs. Costner could find herself saying a tagline. While we know Season 13 is set to debut at the end of October, obviously Season 14 casting hasn’t been done. But that doesn’t mean Christine’s name hasn’t been in executives’ mouths.
It’s a bit early to talk casting, a source close to the situation said. Additionally, they claimed that producers have not “reached out to anyone at this stage.” The National Enquirer quoted a source as saying, “Producers are eyeing Christine with keen interest, seeing her as a captivating addition that could inject a fresh dose of vigor into the tired reality series.” This caused the streets to begin rumbling about Christine. A “fresh dose of vigor” might be found in letting go of Dorit Kemsley, but that is a topic for another discussion.
The insider added, “Her affiliation with a Hollywood legend grants her a certain allure, adding an extra layer of intrigue to her potential role on the show.” It looks like they not only want Christine, they want her buddies who could show up a la Jamie Lee Curtis for Kyle.
“She’s a potent blend of beauty, financial prowess, and a Rolodex stocked with A-list names,” the source continued. “This would place her on a pedestal above the current ensemble.” Oh yes, well Kyle would definitely not appreciate someone above her current pedestal.
Harry Hamlin who?
While Lisa Rinna’s connection to Harry Hamlin was a triumph, they claimed that Kevin’s star power far outweighs Harry’s. Sheree Zampino, Will Smith’s ex-wife, was on last season, but most of us actually forgot about her presence.
Next season might be interesting because we might see a new face.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premieres Wednesday, Oct. 25, at 8/7c on Bravo.
