Taylor Armstrong & Husband Are In Therapy

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills beauty Taylor Armstrong and her husband, Russell Armstrong, showed signs of strain in their marriage on the Bravo hit show and now Radar Online has exclusively learned the couple is in therapy.

Audiences watched the first season of the show as the pair seemed to become more disconnected and a source close to the situation tells Radar Online that the couple is trying to work through their issues with the help of renowned psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Sophy.

"Dr. Sophy was introduced to Taylor by their mutual friend, Adrienne Maloof-Nassif. Adrienne is truly the anchor for the cast members, they all gravitate towards her for guidance. Adrienne wants Taylor to find peace, and Dr. Sophy is helping her do that.”

And while the couple takes steps to repair the breakdown in their marriage, we’re told several of the sessions with Dr. Sophy will be filmed for the upcoming season Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, although Russell is not quite as receptive to the cameras as Taylor.

“Dr. Sophy has seen Taylor and Russell together, and separately. Some of Taylor's sessions with Dr. Sophy will be filmed and featured on the second season. Russell hasn't decided yet if he wants to participate on camera. Dr. Sophy has provided the couple with a great deal of guidance, and they genuinely do seem to be working through their issues. Russell comes across on camera as being very aloof, and reclusive, that just isn't who he is. Russell wants to work to improve the marriage, it just isn't Taylor, which is a very, very good sign for the future of their marriage."

Dr. Sophy is a board certified psychiatrist - his patients include, Paris Hilton, Mel B and her husband Stephen Belafonte.

All Of The "Beverly Hills Housewives" Staying

All of our favorite ladies from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are resigning their contracts with the show for a second season, Hollywood Life exclusively confirms. Camille Grammer, Taylor Armstrong and Kim Richards were on the fence but they all said yes today.

“Taylor was hesitating because of the spotlight on her marriage which caused problems for her and her husband Russell, who is actually a genuinely good man,” says a source close to Lisa Vanderpump, another star of the show. “They actually have a pretty happy marriage but it wasn’t portrayed that way, but she wants another chance at showing how they really are in love with each other.”

And as for Camille? “She had the hardest decision to make after dealing with Kelsey so blatantly rushing to marry his mistress (Kayte Walsh), and she has her children to worry about,” reveals our insider. “But she is holding on strong for her children and we’ll be able to see how she deals with the grief in the new season. I’m sure she will show how dignified she can be in the face of her traumatic experience.”

“Kim and her sister Kyle obviously have a lot to work on, but they have both signed on as well,” continues our source.

“They are all very excited and will try to be more savvy about how they portray themselves. In reality, they get along better off-camera and want to show they aren’t just about shopping and cattiness.”

Adrienne Maloof Worried About Charlie Sheen

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof says she's worried about her friend Charlie Sheen.

"Charlie's been our neighbor and our friend for quite some time," Maloof tells USA TODAY's Cindy Clark. "Yes, it's a little disturbing some of the things that he says, and I don't really know Charlie to be that way. I give him my support and love. He's really actually a wonderful person and I just don't understand this other side to him, and hopefully he works though this."

Maloof, who showed up this morning for the National Education Association's Read Across America Day at the Library of Congress, found herself unwillingly involved in Sheen's antics when her husband Dr. Paul Nassif called 911 in January to report that Sheen was intoxicated and in pain.

Nassif, a physician, also appears with his businesswoman and philanthropist wife on the Bravo reality TV show, which may be back for a second season. There's no official word yet, "but it's probably going to happen sooner than later with our ratings," says Maloof, who says she will be back on the show. "I'm not really supposed to say, but more than likely yes," she says with a smile.

"Hopefully all the girls will come back, it's a great cast. It'd be crazy for Camille not to come back … she's got a whole other side to her," says Maloof of co-star Camille Grammer, who stirred up some drama last season. "We're all pretty busy, but I do run into them," says Maloof of her off-season relationships with her co-stars. "They're lovely girls. We have our differences, but let me tell you, when you get six women together, you're going to have drama," adding that "it's very real. There's very minimal editing."

Denise Richards Wants To Be A 'BH Housewife'

Camille Grammer and Kim Richards may be on the fence about returning to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but there are plenty of ladies lining up to be their replacements.

Among them? Charlie Sheen's ex wife, Denise Richards.

When Us Magazine asked the actress, 40, at Wednesday's Indashio fashion show if she'd consider being a part of the Bravo cast, she answered, "Heck yeah I would! It's one of my favorite shows!"

And while her ex, Sheen, 45, is friendly with neighbors Adrienne Maloof and Dr. Paul Nassif -- Nassif even placed the 911 call following the actor's nearly two-day bender -- Richards is eyeing other ladies as potential pals.

"I have two," Richards told Us. "I love Lisa [Vanderpump] and Kyle [Richards]."

Maloof, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, doesn’t have a timeline for her self-named shoe line, but said she will focus on high-end women’s shoes early on in her venture.

“I’ve always had an interest in shoes mainly because there is nothing more beautiful than a high heel,” Maloof, who claims to own about 200 shoes, told PEOPLE. “I’m 5’3″, so for me heels are empowering, elegant and beautiful. I think most women love shoes. A beautiful pair is shoes looks gorgeous on any woman.”

Maloof is in Las Vegas this week for the MAGIC fashion convention, meeting with with potential buyers and potential partners — though several people have already told her they want to partner with her for the line. “I want to make sure that everything is done organically, correctly,” she said. “So if that means I need to take my time, I’m into doing everything the right way. That’s important to me.”
