Meet the new housewives:

Lisa Rinna

Raised in small town Medford, Oregon but always dreaming of a more fabulous life, Lisa has used her exotic looks, infectious energy and savvy business acumen to become one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. Lisa is known to many as Billie Reed, the free-spirited character she played on NBC's daytime hit "Days of Our Lives," as well as love-to-hate-her Taylor McBride on Fox's long-running primetime smash, "Melrose Place." Never one to turn down good work, Lisa's list of credits is long and varied. She has recently been seen on ABC's "Sing Your Face Off," and the hit NBC reality show, "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice". Other credits include "Veronica Mars," "Entourage", and the Lifetime Original movies, "Sex, Lies and Obsession" and "Another Woman's Husband," which boasted one of the highest ratings for any film on the network. From 2002-2006, she hosted her own successful talk show, "Soap Talk", for which she earned four Emmy nominations in the "Outstanding Talk Show Host" category. An accomplished New York Times best-selling author, Lisa has released three books, entitled "The Big, Fun, Sexy Sex Book," "Starlit," and "Rinnavation." A longtime lover of fashion, Lisa recently launched her new collection Belle Gray by Lisa Rinna for QVC.
