Lisa Vanderpump’s TV Empire May Expand to the Las Vegas Strip

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star already is in talks to bring another Vanderpump Rules spinoff based on her dogs. An E! Network insider told Radar Online that “Although it is still in the developmental state, everyone at E! knows that where there is a restaurant with Lisa’s name on it, there is sure to be money.…The best part is that Lisa staffed her restaurant herself in Las Vegas, so, of course, she hired people that would automatically make dramatic cast members.” [Radar Online]
