Well, it's official!

A source dishes to us that Brandi Glanville has signed on the dotted line and is the newest castmember to join Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

And Glanville has already started shooting!

So who is the one person probably not too happy about the casting news?

You can bet LeAnn Rimes is setting her TiVo as we speak!

Because duh, the newest Mrs. Cibrian has to copy everything the former Mrs. Cibrian wears, drives, eats and does!

Our supersly source also tells us that all of the women from season one of Real Housewives will be back for season two.

So how exactly did Glanville beat out all the other Beverly Hills hopefuls and get the gig?

"Bravo actually had an offer out to Robbie Williams' wife, actress Ayda Field, but it didn't work out because of contractual issues," the source tells us. "That left an open spot for Brandi, and they are excited she is joining the cast. Everyone is getting along fine...for now."

While Bravo will only confirm the show is returning for season two, our solid source adds that Kyle Richards' BFF, the "morally corrupt" (Camille Grammer's words, not ours) Faye Resnick will also be featured more on season two of the hit show.

No word yet on whether or not Glanville's relationship with Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn will be a storyline in the show, but we can only hope as much!

Either way, sounds like LeAnn Rimes is in for a major reality check!
