After one season as a Beverly Hills housewife, Marisa Zanuck is saying goodbye for good to the ladies of 90210, she confirms exclusively to Celebuzz.

After hinting about a departure in her blog late last month, Zanuck says she is not going to make up any excuses about why she won’t be back for season 4 of the hit Bravo series: “I wasn’t asked back,” she revealed. “It’s as simple as that and I’m okay with it.”

While rumors have run rampant that celebs like Lisa Rinna and Leann Rimes might be filling some empty stilettos, Yolanda Foster has confirmed she’ll be turning up the drama queen for a fourth season. As CB! reported, Adrienne Maloof won’t be part of the new cast, and Lisa Vanderpump and Taylor Armstrongare still up in the air.

As for Zanuck, she’s at peace with Bravo’s decision and looks forward to the next chapter in her life.

“Housewives was a once in a lifetime experience and I am grateful that Bravo gave me the opportunity to step into their crazy world,” said Zanuck. “I have no regrets and nothing but love for the amazing viewers that were so kind to take time out of their day and reach out to me on Twitter and comment on my blogs. We will definitely keep in touch.”

In fact, Zanuck’s candidness is quite the departure from former housewives Sheree Whitfield and Danielle Staub, who had reportedly both claimed they quit the series despite numerous reports that they were unceremoniously let go.

The only housewives that are known to have quit the series for their own spinoffs are Bethenny Frankel and Kim Zolciak, while Zanuck’s former co-star Camille Grammer and former housewife of New Jersey Dina Manzo left to start a clean slate.

“Let’s be honest, nobody is going to quit the show unless they have a spinoff because they either need the money or have a business to promote,” Zanuck told Celebuzz. “If a housewife doesn’t fall into those two categories, then perhaps she was attracted to the show by the lure of fame and in that case won’t be giving it up anytime soon.”

That said, Zanuck is not judging anyone for holding on to their 15 minutes: “Reality television is not for everyone and requires a thick skin, you go from obscurity to opening yourself up to millions of people and have to face the scrutiny and criticism,” she said.

“I have learned that it is pointless to judge others for the decisions they make because it has nothing to do with me.”

So will Zanuck return to reality TV?

“I’m not sure. I think the danger of reality television is that some people can become consumed by it,” she said.

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was not my life — it was a very, very small part of my life, a moment in time that has passed.

“I’m not the kind of person that is desperate to be on television, and the truth is, that Housewives, Selling L.A. and Million Dollar Listing L.A. found me,” she added, confirming reports that she’ll appear on the next season of another popular Bravo series.

“I was asked to film Million Dollar Listing L.A. and had a lot of fun.”

Zanuck stresses that if she returns to television, it will be on her own terms — maybe even as a producer, like her movie mogul husband, Dean Zanuck.

“I was approached to do another real estate show on Bravo, but I ultimately decided to pass,” Zanuck said. “I have access to the greatest minds in the entertainment industry and the Zanucks are very well respected and accomplished.

“If I do television again, I will tap into my resources and produce it, it will be authentic and you won’t see me partaking in any frivolous catfights… I tried acting already and wasn’t asked back,” she joked.

Zanuck says she’s enjoying her life and getting ready to expand her real estate business.

“I’m taking a break at the moment because in a few weeks I’m going to start a major business project,” she said, keeping mum on the details.

“I can say that it has nothing to do with television and everything to do with real estate and I am very excited about it.”

“I’m back to living my reality and enjoying every minute of it.”

Monday’s episode of Dancing With the Stars was an especially emotional one as the ABC show challenged its contenders to commemorate the “best year of their life” through dance.

Each celebrity was assigned a 15-second solo that demonstrated the significance of the year they chose, allowing viewers to take a deeper look at what make each talent tick.

Lisa Vanderpump already had a tough week in rehearsals and reportedly fainted during practice due to illness. At the top of the show, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills sat out of the opening festivities.

While there were a few standouts in the line-up, all the couples did a better job overall than we’ve seen in past weeks. Gold medalist Aly Raisman proved why she’s a champion with her contemporary routine, choosing 2012 as her best year ever as the London Olympic games made her a household name. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba couldn’t stop gushing about her heartfelt moves. “You were completely n the moment and I was mesmerized by you,” she told the Olympian. “It’s the beauty of the perfect movement and the perfect emotional connection. It was just profound.” Aly and her partner, Mark Ballas, earned the night’s high score of 27 points.

Meanwhile, comedian Andy Dick chose this year as the best time of his life, noting his sobriety has been his crowning achievement. The fact that DWTS gave him a second chance with his children made this dance especially important for him. He dedicated his Viennese waltz to his daughter and took his most serious-looking spin of the season. Judge Len Goodman said the funny man will leave “a hero” no matter what happens and Carrie Ann was moved to tears. Bruno Tonioli also showered the actor with praises, calling his performance, “simple, effective, and straight from the heart.” The judges gave Andy a respectable score of 21 points, so I think he’s safe this week.

Sixteen-year-old Zendaya performed a sizzling samba to Beyonce’s “Love On Top” to commemorate her best year yet — 2009. Her sexy solo highlighted the year her Disney career really took off, and the judges praised her performance again. “Beyonce better watch her back!” exclaimed an eternally excited Carrie Ann. Bruno said her dance is “fearless, cool, hip and slick,” while Len wished her samba solo was a bit more traditional. Still, she earned the night’s second highest score of 26.

Despite her illness, Lisa Vanderpump took the floor at the end of the night with partner Gleb Savchenko by her side. The reality TV queen recalled her daughter’s wedding as her most special moment and commemorated the occasion with an attempt at the cha cha. Given her health, the judges cut her some slack in their critiques of her shaky performance. Carrie Ann said there was lots of “potential” there and Len was kind to his fellow Brit, praising Lisa for her efforts. Still, she only scored 18 points, which makes her the likely competitor to land back onto the chopping block come results time.

Marisa Zanuck could be ditching the California sun to take a bite out of The Big Apple.

The Beverly Hills Housewife, who’s married to film producer Dean Zanuck, was spotted looking at swanky apartments in the Soho and Tribeca neighborhoods of Manhattan on April 1, a source tells Celebuzz.

“She was looking at lofts in the $4 and $5 million range,” said the insider.

So does this mean what we think it means?

“Marisa has an amazing life outside of the show,” the source said. “She spends a lot of time traveling and is definitely not the type of person that would sit by her phone and wait for it to ring. You never know what she is going to do next.”

Even if it means going bicoastal. But sorry, ladies, trading zip codes doesn’t mean she’ll be swapping series, too.

“Marisa doesn’t know any of the women on the New York show, so it wouldn’t make any sense,” added the source.

While it’s still unclear if Marisa will be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she wrote a farewell blog that hinted at her departure: “In truth, I have moved past all of the drama, and I don’t want to acknowledge it anymore. This is my final blog and I want to dedicate it to all of you that have supported me immensely throughout this experience.”

And it’s clear now she’s moving on… and out of the 90210, saying goodbye to Kyle Richards, Kim Richards, Taylor Armstrong, Yolanda Foster, Lisa Vanderpump and Brandi Glanville.

Adrienne Maloof and Camille Grammer have also bid their farewells to another sure-to-be dramatic next season.

“Marisa is grateful for the opportunity and has an open mind about returning, but this is Bravo’s decision and she doesn’t worry about things she can’t control,” added the source.

While in NYC Marisa was seen all over Manhattan at special events and private dinners with Million Dollar Listing New York star Ryan Serhant at KTCHN, The Chew‘s celebrity chef Jason Roberts at Delmonico’s Kitchen, Vanity Fair’s George Wayne at The Plaza Hotel, and even had time to make a special appearance at XL nightclub.

Just one week after being at the bottom, Lisa Vanderpump has survived another elimination on Dancing with the Stars. But when her final dance does come, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star will bid farewell ballroom with no regrets.

“Even if I left tomorrow, or next week, it would still be an incredibly experience. I don’t regret it for a second,” she told Celebuzz. “Yes, I’m not an Olympian. I’m not a skater. I’m not somebody who is used to performing. But, wow, what an unbelievable experience. It’s been incredible, and I’ve had a lot of fun, and [I'm] coupled with the most gorgeous thing on the planet.”

That would be her pro hoofer partner, Gleb Savchenko, who has said Vanderpump is still building to her budding potential on the hit ABC dancing competition. “Well I don’t know what potential he is thinking of because I’ve never really danced before, only at school,” the Bravo star said humbly. “But I’ve loved it. I’ve watched [the] dances back and I’m happy with what I did.”

Though the two-stepping pair landed in the bottom three last week, Vanderpump doesn’t see it as a reflection of their routine. “I think all of my fan base was watching the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” she explained. “I think [fans] watching the finale and the reunion that night probably hurt us.”

Now it’s back to rehearsals. Though daily studio sessions have sometimes left her bruised, Vanderpump is pushing through the pain. “I’ve been standing up to it. But, yeah, you do hurt,” she said. “I mean, who’s used to dancing five hours a day? Even if you take breaks, it’s kind of hard.”

“But you’ve got to do it because you only have four days to learn a routine and then to go out there in front of 20 million people,” she continued. “I think you’d be foolish if you didn’t. I have definitely put myself through the ringer with this, but it’s just been a unique experience. I’ve had an amazing time.”

Between rehearsals, Housewives responsibilities and reigning in her pup Giggy’s diva personality, Vanderpump has squeezed in time for another venture: Breakfast After Dark. It’s a web series that takes you insider her home as she whips up meals using I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! — with hot men, to boot.

“I just love the whole idea…of keeping things simple and sexy,” she explained. “Also, I love…I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! as a healthy alternative to butter. I’ve used it for years. We talked about it and collaborated on a few recipes.”

Get some recipe inspiration from the Breakfast After Dark episodes.

Making it in the entertainment business is hard. Really hard.

You know what’s even tougher? Running a successful restaurant that doesn’t end up on a show hosted by Gordon Ramsey. That’s why celebrities who feel like they’ve conquered the mountain of showbiz, and are looking for a real challenge, sometime opt to enter the world of the epicurious and open their own eatery.

In today’s edition of The Celeb Life, we look at some of the most famous celebrity restaurants in America – and how famous folks from Justin Timberlake to Lisa Vanderpump, who have made a name for themselves on-screen, have found another way to feed the masses in their own eating establishments.

Ryan Phillippe is just one celebrity owner of Craig’s, a hip Hollywood restaurant co-founded by a former employee of another famous LA nightspot, Dan Tana’s. To date, Phillippe and his partners have done well in the location – which remains a sought after table for the elite and famous.

Forget about Sean Lowe and Kellie Pickler because Lisa Vanderpump’s pooch Giggy is the real star of Dancing With The Stars.

As over a dozen celebrities battle for this season’s Glitterball the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s tuxedo wearing Pomeranian is getting the most attention both on and off stage.

“Giggy is the real star of the season,” professional dancer Kym Johnson tells Celebuzz.

The adorable dog has been accompanying the reality star all around the set while British born Vanderpump was spotted clutching Giggy after performing with Gleb Savchenko.

“That little dog gets more attention than anyone else, but he is absolutely adorable. Giggy is a total star, he is always composed and well behaved when anyone comes over to him,” added Johnson.

Johnson and her partner Ingo Rademacher hosted some of their fellow dancers at Planet Dailies in Los Angeles after Monday night’s show and she admits that she’s blown away with how good 57-year-old Vanderpump looks.

The Australian-born ballroom champion believes that both Vanderpump and former Olympic skater Dorothy Hamill are acting as an inspiration for millions of middle-aged woman tuned in across America.

And although Kim admits that she’s missing bad boy Maksim Chmerkovskiy, new Bachelor Sean Lowe is now the guy setting female pulses racing this season.

“I do miss Maksim, but he is with us in spirit. Sean is definitely getting a lot of female adulation and that must be difficult for his new fiancée Catherine Giudici, but I’m sure she can cope,” said Johnson.

“I’m really pleased with my own hunky partner Ingo because he’s athletic, has musicality and most important he does what I tell him!

“The energy behind the scenes this season is great and I’m really enjoying myself. Plus the fact that we now have Giggy the dog as our official mascot.”

Age is nothing but a number.

Lisa Vanderpump is proof positive that you can look sexy at any age. The 56-year-old Real Housewife of Beverly Hills showed off her toned physique as she exited rehearsals for Dancing With the Stars Thursday.

Vanderpump proudly flaunted her taut waist in a black leotard and dancing tights, and remained true to her “Pinky” nickname by rocking a hot pink sports bra.

Vanderpump has been vocal about the grueling rehearsals as she gears up for the next season of the ABC hit reality show.

On Wednesday she tweeted:

Ok..this is not easy,need Advil,hot bath,early night and a ticket outta here…#hotmess

— Lisa Vanderpump (@LisaVanderpump) March 14, 2013

The mother-of-two finished filming the drama-filled reunion special for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills last week, and told fans that it was a walk in the park compared to honing her dance skills.

Ok..reunion was challenging,but cathartic,now rehearsals for #DWTS today…now that’s what I call painful.#stiffasaboard — Lisa Vanderpump (@LisaVanderpump) March 3, 2013

One thing’s for certain, Vanderpump is going to look amazing in the over-the-top costumes with that figure.

That should take some of the edge off of her, right?

Season 1 may have wrapped, but Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules saga keeps on rolling.

Th debut run of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills spinoff — centering on the oft-chaotic staff of Lisa Vanderpump‘s West Hollywood hotspot, SUR — was rarely short on shenanigans, with the show’s stars delivering lots of sex, lies and debauchery each week.

And the season even went out with a bang, when model-bartender Jax Taylor finally confessed to cheating on his on-and-off girlfriend, server Stassi Schroeder, with a cocktail waitress in Las Vegas. Now on the heels of the revelations-filled finale, the SUR staff is serving up another dish of drama in a much-anticipated reunion show.

“It’s pretty much about Jax,” Schroeder told Celebuzz. “They’re all beating on me, pretty much,” Taylor agreed. “It’s going to be bad. It’s a bad reunion. It’s bad. Tonight is going to be rough.”

But Schroeder showed no sympathy for her ex-beau, with whom she remains just friends despite his efforts to win her heart back. “It’s about time,” Schroeder sniped. “He spent the entire season looking like this hero and everyone adores him and loves him.”

It’s not all Taylor-bashing, however. The reunion forces some other castmembers to face their current controversies. “There’s a lot of other things going on right now that Stassi and I aren’t involved in, which is nice,” Taylor said. “The stuff doesn’t stop…. Every day it is something new. One day, they’re best friends, one day they’re not best friends. One day we’re all friends, one day nobody is friends.”

The costars kept their lips sealed on the specifics — “It’s not our business to say anything,” Schroeder said. But Taylor is thrilled to have a break from the hot seat. “Thank God I can sit, and eat popcorn, and watch it because I’m not involved,” he said.

The Vanderpump Rules reunion special airs Monday at 9PM. And for more, catch Taylor and Schroeder joining Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live at 11PM.

Watch Taylor and Schroeder’s take on the season finale, below.

With less than a day before ABC announces Season 16’s official competitors, Celebuzz has learned that Dancing With the Stars is embarking on a first.

According to our sources, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Vanderpump Rules star Lisa Vanderpump is exchanging her Louboutins for dancing kicks.

So, which pro dancer will the former actress pair up with? Due to her 5-foot, 6-inch height, one source says it’s likely she’ll dance with Tristan McManus or Tony Dovalani.

Reportedly, DWTS didn’t intend to cast any Housewives stars — ever. Vanderpump will be its first from the hit Bravo franchise. Her casting on the show is a testament to not only the Bravo franchise’s popularity, but Vanderpump’s growing influence, as well. Not only does she star on her own Real Housewives spinoff, but Vanderpump co-owns two popular restaurants in West Hollywood: Sur and Villa Blanca.

TMZ reports that Andy Dick, Wynonna Judd, Kellie Pickler, Aly Raisman, Jacoby Jones, Sean Lowe and Victor Ortiz have also signed on.

An ABC spokesperson would not confirm Vanderpump’s casting. The official list will be announced on GMA on Tuesday morning.

Andrea Simpson contributed to this article.

Meet the newest castmember of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Orange County!

The network announced on Tuesday that Lydia McLaughlin is officially the latest glamorous mama who’s set to join the cast for their eighth season. Bravo’s hit series needed some extra spunk and the 31-year-old brunette is guaranteed to bring the drama when the series returns Monday, April 1 at 8PM.

So who is McLaughlin? While our favorite OC housewives have already gotten to know her, fans have been kept in the dark until now.

Celebuzz has compiled a list of nine things to know about the newest housewife:

1. McLaughlin is from major money. She is the granddaughter of Geoff Stirling, a famous Canadian businessman and media mogul – owning several newspapers and television stations under Stirling Communications International. Stirling’s net worth topped $100 million in 2011.

2. She is the mother of two sons and lives with her husband Doug in Dana Point, Calif.

3. Lydia isn’t just a housewife, she’s a busy business woman. Her main occupation is serving as the Managing Editor and co-founder of Beverly Hills Lifestyle magazine.

4. In her free time, McLaughlin also designs jewelry under the brand name Lydia M Jewelry.

5. She knows that dogs are a man, and woman’s, best friend. As part of her jewelry line, McLaughlin released a limited-edition collection for dogs only called “Puppy Bling.”

6. She works closely with her husband. The two co-own a web design and digital marketing company called SKYLAB Media and an art gallery called SKYLAB Modern Art.

7. McLaughlin wasn’t always a California girl. She was born in Canada but raised in La Jolla, Calif. and attended the prestigious University of San Diego.

8. She’s already friends with a few other housewives. McLaughlin has been friends with Lisa Vanderpump, who writes a column for Beverly Hills Lifestyle magazine, and Heather Dubrow for years.

9. She’s a devout Christian. McLaughlin bonds with Alexis Bellino over their religious beliefs, but be warned the newest housewife’s religion doesn’t stop her from being headstrong and outspoken.

Are you excited for the next season of RHOC? Weigh in below.

The cast of Vanderpump Rules — The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills spinoff about Lisa Vanderpump‘s swanky restaurant, Sur — just might be the most dramatic group of people who have ever worked together.

And frankly, we can’t get enough of them — especially when things get heated like they did in the show’s most recent episode, when the crew went to Las Vegas for Stassi‘s birthday.

“The devil on my shoulder kind of got the best of me, and my ego and my pride,” Jax Taylor told Celebuzz about how he reacted when he saw his ex, Stassi, sitting with her date for the evening — Frank, another Sur bartender.

“It probably wasn’t the best decision, to go to Vegas,” he admits. “But all my buddies were going. She [Stassi] doesn’t own Vegas.”

And things escalated quickly when Jax went after Frank — with all the passion and pain he felt about Stassi dating someone so soon after their breakup.

“There was so much frustration, and so much anger… I was like, ‘Screw it, I’m going,’” Jax said.

Jax’s best friend and fellow model/bartender at Sur, Tom Sandoval, agreed that it probably wasn’t the best decision for Jax to show up to Stassi’s birthday in Vegas when he was clearly not invited — but he’s got his buddy’s back.

“Looking back at first, I would say probably not a good idea,” said Tom. “But it’s his girlfriend of two years — he’s gotta go and try to get her back.”

And he certainly had Jax’s back when things got ugly in the parking lot of a restaurant during Stassi’s celebration. Jax threw punches and ripped off his sweater (which you may recognize in the video above), and Tom was right behind him with shirts flying.

“Hindsight’s 20/20,” said Tom.

Sure is, but it doesn’t make for good television.

With her new “official housewife” status, Brandi Glanville is settling into the drama on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Last season, Glanville joined the cast as a FOTH (or Friend of the Housewives), but this season, she’s a full-fledged “Real Housewife” — and she’s already getting into sparring matches. As any loyal RHOBH viewer knows, Taylor Armstrong isn’t Glanville’s No. 1 fan, especially this season, which Glanville told Celebuzz will “be cray cray all day.”

While it’s clear Glanville and Armstrong won’t be BFFs anytime soon, there’s still hope when it comes to patching up her relationship with the Richards sisters. In fact, the reality star said she and her former frenemy Kim Richards — who went to rehab earlier this year — are closer than ever.

“I’m rooting for her,” Glanville told us during a sit-down interview. “You get to know the real Kim [this season]. She’s a sweet woman. She’s a great mom, and she cares a lot about her kids. There are some ups and down between her and I, but I’m really rooting for her to stay healthy. I like her. I invited her to my birthday!”

But there’s one person who was begrudgingly added to her birthday list — Kim’s sister Kyle Richards.

“My problem with Kyle is that she talks behind people’s backs,” explained Glanville. “I don’t deal well with people who won’t say it to your face. That’s my issue with Kyle, because I really do like her. But, it’s what she says when I’m not in the room that bugs me.”

At least Glanville knows she can always rely on her BFF Lisa Vanderpump to tell her the truth.

“The great thing about Lisa is that she tells it like it is, and I really respect that,” she said. “She’s not going to say anything behind my back that she’s not going to say to my face.”

Lisa Vanderpump is juggling several things at once these days. And things are only going to get crazier as The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills returns for its third season on Monday at 9 PM on Bravo.

“We’ve got two new characters, Brandi [Glanville], you met last season, but we’ve got a new girl named Yolanda [Foster] and things change,” Vanderpump tells Celebuzz at her Beverly Hills restaurant, Villa Blanca.

“Dynamics kind of evolve, things just get switched up a bit,” she adds. “These girls are pretty honest and direct and sometimes people don’t want to hear that.”

Vanderpump tells us that she will still have her biting wit, which gets her in trouble sometimes. And that she really gets to know Kim Richards better after returning from rehab.

At the same time, Bravo has been filming a spinoff series at Vanderpump’s new lounge and restaurant, SUR, called Vanderpump Rules.

“The staff is kind of unique and they’re a little wild,” she describes her costars on the show, SUR’s staff. “And they’re all kind of sexy, young kids. Well, I say they’re kids, they’re in their 20s. And they just bring a totally different energy to it.”

Addtionally, Vanderpump is sharing the wisdom she’s learned over years of hosting parties and owning restaurants in her entertaining guide, Simply Divine.

“This whole book is actually about tips, how to make things easy,” Vanderpump explains. “I feel so many people are so scared of entertaining and it really is kind of a whole bible to take the fear out of entertaining.”

Lisa Vanderpump is ready to be a grandmother.

Celebuzz caught up with the 52-year-old star of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills at the grand opening of costar Kyle Richards‘ store in Beverly Hills, Calif.

“Me, a grandmother? What, do you mean with Giggy? I wish I was a grandmother! But he hasn’t done anything yet. He hasn’t put the bun in the oven. But I wish,” Vanderpump joked on the red carpet, with Giggy in tow.

As for her daughter Pandora, Vanderpump confesses she’s ready for the job of playing grandma.

“I’ve been putting the pressure on since she was 14. I’m the only mother who wishes she’d had a baby by immaculate conception,” Vanderpump said.

“You know what, she’s a young career woman and she’s got her website . . . she’s always been great. We have to take the time, so I can’t put too much pressure on. But I’ve got a substitute grandchild for now,” she said, looking at Giggy.

“He’ll do.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star also dished on her restaurant spinoff, due early next year.

“It’s really about me running the restaurant and it’s going to be a totally different energy to ‘Housewives,’” she said.

“Not the same show at all. It’s going to have a whole different angle, there’s a young, hot Hollywood staff It’s a lot of fun,” Vanderpump said, adding that the restaurant is The Sur Lounge in West Hollywood.
