With rumors of one cast member not being invited back for season three of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, we can now report on the rumors going around of who might replace her; namely, a pair of real former athlete wives.
According to The Huffington Post, producers are wooing Bryant, who recently split from some shooting guard on the Los Angeles Lakers; and Lisa, who divorced NFL linebacker Mark Gastineau in 1991 and starred alongside her daughter on E!'s Gastineau Girls a few years ago.

Said one insider of Bryant: "She is now single and free and doesn't ever have to worry about earning another dollar in her life, so she can focus on what makes the show so much fun: herself," while the same sources added of Lisa:
"She is the example of how not to get divorces. She has a wonderful life but works very hard to pay her bills and would love to find love again."
Bravo may need to compete with another cable network for Vanessa's services, however: VH1 is courting her for Basketball Wives.
