I haven’t heard anything from Brandi Glanville in a while. I guess Radar/Star decided to stop the cross-promotional blitz for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Or not! Radar seemed like they were really going after Brandi for several weeks, with suspiciously detailed and negative stories about Brandi’s drinking and her crazy behavior. Radar stopped for a while, and now they might have started back up. It seems like Brandi might have gotten a new gig – pole dancer! And hostess of bachelorette parties. Shouldn’t that be “bachelor parties” if she’s pole-dancing?

Eddie Cibrian’s ex-wife Brandi Glanville is taking pole dancing lessons in preparation for a sexy new gig in Las Vegas, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. As previously reported, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars were in Sin City last weekend shooting a special episode of the show, and we now know the reason why!

The purpose of the trip was a “trial run” for Glanville to show off her pole dancing skills and get ready for her exciting new role — hosting bachelorette parties, and a source says the reality star is a natural!

“Eddie bought Brandi a pole before they split up and she absolutely loves it!” the source shares. “She’s amazing on it and has quite a skill set! She’s really excited about the new gig and it’s going to be a lot of fun.

“All the Housewives had a turn at pole dancing when they were in Vegas and they had a blast. Brandi won’t be stripping naked or doing anything too outrageous for the shows, just hosting in some sexy outfits and having fun, and Bravo will document it all on camera.

“Brandi won’t be pole dancing on stage, just hosting, but she may take a swing once or twice to get the crowd going — and she’s REALLY good at it!”

“Brandi wanted the ladies to come with her because she thought it would be a fun way for them to bond and try something new,” another source tells RadarOnline.com. “Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump, Yolanda Hadid and Camille Grammer all went with Brandi and took the pole dancing class. Of course, the cameras were rolling and viewers are going to be absolutely shocked at what they see!”

Meanwhile, another source previously revealed that Hadid’s mellow nature is making for far from captivating TV. “The other ladies are clashing with each other all the time, there are a lot of crazy emotions involved, but Yolanda isn’t causing any drama or adding any drama – she is a bore!”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will air this fall on Bravo.

Yeah, so that was a preview of a very special “shocking” episode of RHOBH. Can I just say? I’ve never gotten the whole stripper pole thing, for either sex. Like, why do men think that a lady on a pole is sexy? Why do women think it’s somehow “empowering” to “reclaim” the pole as some kind of statement of third-wave feminism or lipstick-feminism? It’s just a stripper pole. It just seems kind of dumb and cheesy.

As for the “hostessing bachelorette parties” gig – that sounds like fun. I bet Brandi will be good at that.
