Bravo is in talks with
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong following the suicide of her late husband Russell, according to reports.
“Bravo wants to do a sit-down, one-hour special with [Bravo exec VP and host] Andy Cohen. They’ve been discussing options for a week, but no programming has been formalized,†reveals a source close to the situation.
But so far Bravo has denied reports of a tell-all interview, saying only: “It’s not true, there are no plans like that.â€
Armstrong’s rep enforces this statement, expressing: “There is dialogue with Bravo, but no decisions have been made. Anything would be conjecture. Armstrong is still devastated and hasn’t personally engaged in any talks."
The reality star reportedly committed suicide due to the fact that appearing on a reality TV show had ruined the quality of his life. Russell even slammed Bravo in one of his final interviews, and was preparedly terrified over a tell-all book his ex-wife was planning to release.
The second season of
Real Housewives in Beverly Hills is set to premiere on Sept. 5, and Russell's character will be edited out.

Kim Kardashian and new hubby Kris Humphries have ironed out a solid prenuptial agreement following their extravagant wedding in Montecito, Calif. last Saturday.
Kardashian's net worth has been estimated at around $35 million, while her NBA player hubby is only worth between $8-16 million, according to
The Hollywood Reporter. But the newlyweds' bank accounts are expected to climb after the wedding, with
People reportedly splashing out $2.5 million for exclusive rights to the wedding photos alone.
And it's not just Kim who needs the protection. Her family members have a fortune invested reality star's business ventures. Under California law, increases in value of a joint venture during a marriage are considered a couple's "community property," unless the prenup details otherwise.
This means the deal may not only be put in to place to protect Kim's $35 million+ in assets, it will also keep the entire Kardashian fortune intact.
When Kim's little sis Khloe tied the knot with Lamar Odom back in 2009, the pair worked out a deal which protected Odom's $33-million Lakers contract and also allowed Mrs. Odom access to a Lamar-funded joint account which pays for all of the couple's expenses, plus an "annual lump sum" of her own.
Not a bad deal!

Planet Pit Exclusive: Pitbull speaks on Lindsay Lohan Lawsuit from Planet Pit on Vimeo.
Pitbull is feeling some major remorse over the lyric in his song that ticked-off Lindsay Lohan, and he's taped an apology to the star -- along with an invite to the VMAs next month!
Lohan is suing Pit because his song
Give Me Everything includes a lyric she feels is damaging to her character.
Pitbull confessed when he first heard about the lawsuit, "I read it and thought no this has to be a joke!"
The rapper goes on to say it was all a misunderstanding, and it was actually meant to be a positive message. He confesses:
"When I mention Lindsay in the record, it was a positive message and the quote they have out there is all wrong. When I say 'you got it locked up', if you got it locked up that means you run that area. For me, mentioning her on a number one record around the world, I thought it would be helping someone's career, and keeping them relevant."
The troubled starlet has beef with the line, "Hustlers move aside, so I'm tiptoein', to keep flowin' / I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan."
Pitbull says the next step "is up the the attorneys. This is very fresh and I just wanted to make sure I spoke to the right person. We will be performing this at the VMAs and I'd like to send out a message to Linsday, maybe she can come to the VMAs and we can figure this all out."
Do think Lilo will accept Pitbull's apology?

Sorry,
Jim Carrey. These pics prove that Emma Stone really is taken!
Though they've stayed mum on their relationship,
The Help actress and Andrew Garfield made it official as they made their first non-promo outing during an oh-so-sweet date night in Malibu.
The Amazing Spider-Man co-stars had a romantic dinner at Nobu, though Emma looked a bit more dressed up for the evening - she wore a sleek LBD while her BF wore a black Stand Up To Cancer tee and jeans.
Andrew actually wore a SUTC tee - albeit a gray one - during his first public appearance with Emma at Comic Con in August. We're all about supporting the cause, but Andrew needs to at least step it up for date night!

Jennifer Aniston and beau Justin Theroux are living together in this $3 million dollar Hollywood home. There's Jen's Range Rover covered up ... and Justin's motorcycle out back.
Although this home looks cozy, these digs are much smaller than what Ms. Aniston is accustomed to. Guess that's true love for ya!
Back in July, the 42-year-old
Friends star sold her Beverly Hills estate for $38 million. And in April, Jen bought the 17th and 18th floors of a West Village apartment building in New York City for more than $7 million.
Before settling on this $3 million home, Jen had been house hunting with Justin, 39, for months ... checking out handfuls of mansions daily. One of those estates ... Ellen DeGeneres' Beverly Hills
home with wife Portia de Rossi which has been on the market since June for a reported $60 million.
Looks like Mr. Theroux's simple lifestyle is definitely having a downsizing effect on Ms. Aniston!
This place has hardwood floors throughout, vaulted ceilings, a converted garage that has been made into a family room, a fantastic pool & spa ... plus a grassy hidden garden. Sounds perfect for a family. Hmm ... could Jen be looking to enter Mommyhood?
See interior shots of their new home in the gallery below.

Miley Cyrus and her sexy boyfriend Liam Hemsworth are in love and not afraid to show it!
The 18-year-old "Can't Be Tamed" singer grabbed on tight to her man and gave him a smooch outside the Cheesecake Factory in Santa Barbara. Cheesy? We don't think so.
Earlier this week, the twosome
hung out with Miley's family in Burbank ... grabbing lunch and goofing around. Looks like Liam fits right in with the Cyrus fam.
With Miley soon to be an
aunt (thanks to brother Trace) and with her love life reaching new heights, the former
Hannah Montana star seems to be at the top of her game!
Now, get to work on that new album, Miley.
