Anna Faris teases joining Real Housewives cast nearly seven years after Chris Pratt divorce
Anna Faris has considered joining the Real Housewives franchise.
The 48-year-old actress - who was previously married to Chris Pratt - revealed that she would 'take the call' if Bravo boss Andy Cohen approached her to join the highly-popular reality franchise.
Anna told Us Weekly recently: 'I was thinking the other day if I would make a good Real Housewife.
'I think I'm way too boring. I don't know if I'm too nice. I really think I would wear everything on my sleeve. I think I would blurt out all the time … I don't know if I would put on the whole pretense of 'there's no cameras.' I don't know. I don't know.'
As she has acted professionally for nearly 30 years, she questioned if she could actually be herself in front of the camera for the sake of reality television drama.
She explained: 'I feel like, fundamentally, I can be pretty quiet and reserved in my own skin.
'But it would be really fun to play a character on a reality show.'
But if push comes to shove, she revealed to the weekly that she 'would totally take the phone call' from Cohen if ever asked to join the show and especially if it was for The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
However, she questioned her ability to hang on-screen with the likes of Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Denise Richards, and Erika Girardi as she said: 'But they're so advanced.
'That's like going to graduate school when you're a freshman.'
This comes just a month after Anna made some rare comments about the 12-year-old son, Jack, whom she shares with ex Pratt.
'He's handled the situation with the fires well,' the Mom alum told Us Weekly last month regarding how her child handled losing their home during the LA fires earlier this year.
'I really appreciate that,' added the star.
While speaking during the push to promote her partnership with the bathroom cleaner Scrubbing Bubbles, the actress went on to reveal that she feels 'so lucky' to have Jack at her side.

Anna (pictured February 2023) told Us Weekly recently: 'I was thinking the other day if I would make a good Real Housewife. I think I'm way too boring. I don't know if I'm too nice. I really think I would wear everything on my sleeve. I think I would blurt out all the time … I don't know if I would put on the whole pretense of 'there's no cameras.' I don't know. I don't know'
'He's always had such a solid anchor,' she said in another interview with People. 'I don't know where, being a kid in Hollywood, he got that.'
She added, 'I don't know how he got so down-to-earth, but I'm really grateful.'
Faris and Pratt, 45, separated in 2017 and eventually finalized their divorce the following year after being married since 2009.
Despite ending their romantic relationship the former couple have tried to remain close as co-parents for the benefit of their son, who they welcomed in August 2012.
They have both moved on and have gotten married again: Faris tied-the-knot with cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2021, while Pratt wed Katherine Schwarzenegger in 2019, and have since welcomed three children of their own.
But, just some two months ago, their blended family lives turned tense and scary when they were forced to evacuate their homes in their respective Pacific Palisades neighborhoods in Los Angeles as the deadly fire tore through the area in January.
In the end, Pratt's home with Schwarzenegger was spared, however, Faris' house was left in a pile of rubble.
In fact, the Scary Movie star's residence turned out to be one of 18,000 homes and structures that burned in the L.A. wildfires, which mainly comprised of the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire.

On top of the loss of the home she shares with her son, Jack's school was also destroyed, Pratt reported an Instagram video at the time.
'It's surreal and has been tough, [but] we feel fortunate because we're safe,' Faris explained to Us, before adding, 'I'm really grateful to be working.'
In addition to the cleaning campaign with Scrubbing Bubbles, Faris has also been able to focus on her work shooting the upcoming comedy film Spa Weekend, alongside co-stars Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher, and Michelle Buteau.
Her other new roles include a voice spot in the animated comedy film Toy Story 5, starring Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, and the live-action animated film I, Object that features Karl Urban, Jemaine Clement, and Skywalker Hughes.
Faris, a Baltimore, Maryland native, had her breakout role when she starred in the horror-comedy parody film Scary Movie (2000).
She went on to appear in the next three sequels in the film franchise through 2006.
Her other notable roles include The Hot Chick (2002, Lost In Translation (2003), Brokeback Mountain (2005), Just Friends (2005, My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006), Smiley Face (2007), The House Bunny (2008), What's Your Number? (2011), The Dictator (2012), and Overboard (2018), along with her eight season run in the hit CBS sitcom Mom (2013-2021).

Sarah Jessica Parker reveals little-known secret about Sex and the City
Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed a hidden, behind-the-scenes secret about Sex and the City - and it's one that will totally shock fans. Parker, who played the iconic character Carrie Bradshaw on the 1998 hit show, was known for drinking pink-hued Cosmopolitans - a cocktail made with vodka, cranberry juice, Cointreau, and lime juice. However, it turns out that the Cosmos we always saw the ladies drinking weren't exactly what they seemed. 'It wasn't until the show ended that I had a proper Cosmopolitan,' Parker, 60, admitted during a June 2 appearance on Andy Cohen 's SiriusXM radio show, Radio Andy. 'Because I think the ones on the show that every amazing prop person may ever worked with and alongside, did cranberry juice and a twist...' she continued. Cynthia Nixon, who played lawyer Miranda Hobbes on the series, admitted to Cohen that the drinks just tasted like watered down cranberry juice. While the show was airing, Parker recalled that many people would send her Cosmopolitans, but she wasn't a big fan, although she was 'grateful.' They just simply weren't very delicious at some of the restaurants she tried back in the day. 'And so, and then when people very kindly sent me a Cosmopolitan in that particular chapter, there wasn't a lot of finesse around them,' Parker shared. 'So I was under the impression that a Cosmopolitan wasn't worth anyone's time.' Now, however, she touts a different story after she tried a Cosmo at New York City hotspot Morandi. Interestingly enough, during a 2019 interview with Interview Magazine, the star shared that she's not a big drinker in general. In fact, Cohen, her longtime friend, called her a 'one sip a night' kind of gal. 'Yes, as told by Andy Cohen, for many years, I just didn't drink as much as anybody else. I think I've been drinking wine for about 10 or 12 years, actually,' the mom-of-three told the outlet at the time. 'I started drinking wine because I travel so much and I always wanted to have local experiences everywhere I went and wherever I go,' she explained. Parker admitted that she liked to drink wine at the end of the day, or when she's dining with her friends. She also shared that she wasn't great at making cocktails - especially the Cosmopolitan. 'I don't make drinks at home, I don't know how to make cocktails. So, that's why wine is my friend! All it takes for me is a corkscrew or just a twist of the wrist,' Parker said. Her Cosmo confession comes as the season three premiere of the Sex and the City spinoff, And Just Like That, premiered to HBO Max on May 29. The spinoff, which stars Parker as Bradshaw, Kristin Davis as Charlotte York, and Nixon as Hobbes, shows the ladies years later, living their life as adults in New York City. In recent years, the three ladies have worked together on various Sex and The City related projects. The group filmed two spinoff movies - one in 2008 and one in 2010 - but the third one never got off the ground. However, there have been rumors that actress Kim Cattrall was feuding with the cast. She famously did not sign on to revive her character as Samantha on And Just Like That... during the first season, but made a cameo at the end of the season two finale.

Tom Girardi, former 'Real Housewives' husband, sentenced to 7 years in prison
Former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" husband Tom Girardi has been sentenced to seven years and three months in prison in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday. The 86-year-old was also ordered to pay $2 million in restitution to victims. Last year, the 86-year-old disbarred attorney and estranged husband of "RHOBH" star Erika Jayne was found guilty of stealing millions of dollars from former clients for over a decade, including $3 million from relatives of the victims of the 2018 Lion Air crash in the Java Sea, which killed 189 people. A federal jury convicted Girardi on four wire fraud charges after a 13-day trial. Federal prosecutors said that the former high-profile attorney used his status to pilfer money from clients, whom he represented in cases involving severe injuries. Girardi is known for his role in the 1993 groundwater contamination lawsuit against Pacific Gas and Electric Co. The case inspired the 2000 film "Erin Brockovich," which starred Julia Roberts. He also appeared regularly in Bravo reality series "RHOBH" alongside his now-estranged wife, Jayne, one of the show's main stars. Federal prosecutors said Girardi diverted more than $25 million from his law firm's operating account to pay expenses for EJ Global, a company formed for Jayne's entertainment career. The money was spent on luxury cars, private jet travel, jewelry and exclusive clubs, according to prosecutors. Jayne, 53, filed for divorce in 2020 after allegations against Girardi emerged, and has said on the show that the divorce is still in process because of his mental and physical decline. She was named in a lawsuit that alleged she knew about Girardi's embezzlement in the Lion Air case, but has maintained that she had no knowledge of any fraud he committed. Jayne was dismissed from the suit in 2022. Girardi was deemed fit to stand trial early last year despite his lawyers arguing that he has Alzheimer's disease, which they said left him confused and with memory problems. Girardi had been living in an assisted care facility throughout the trial and while awaiting sentencing. Jayne was in London on her estranged husband's sentencing day, preparing for a performance at the city's famed KOKO club. In an interview with Vogue U.K. that was also published Tuesday, Jayne spoke about picking herself up after dark times. "We all go through things — you have to realize that you're not the only one," she told the outlet. "And you have to find the will to take baby steps until you feel more comfortable, and those baby steps might last for a long time."

EXCLUSIVE Bethenny Frankel issues stark response to comments about her youthful appearance after walking runway in bikini
Bethenny Frankel had a stark response to those who were shocked over her youthful appearance after she walked the runway at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show in a tiny thong bikini. The former Real Housewives of New York star, 54, wowed as she hit the catwalk in a slew of revealing swimsuits in Miami Beach on Saturday. She left little to imagination during the show, flaunting her incredibly toned physique in a barely-there polka dot bikini with a thong bottom at one point. Many fans were left in awe of her svelte figure and rushed in hoards to social media to discuss how great she looked afterwards. Some even branded her as 'unrecognizable,' and admitted they couldn't believe that she was 54 years old. Now, Bethenny has spoken exclusively with about the reaction online, and she admitted that she was completely shocked by it. The reality star insisted that her 'body hadn't changed' and said she was taken aback by the world being so stunned over her being in shape at 54. 'Honestly, my body hasn't changed - people's perception of it has,' she said. The former Real Housewives of New York star, 54, wowed as she hit the catwalk in a slew of revealing swimsuits in Miami Beach on Saturday 'I didn't realize I was considered "so old" until everyone started acting shocked that I looked fit at 54.' But the mother-of-one added that she believes people are responding so well to her because of her confidence on the runway, not necessarily her looks. Bethenny certainly oozed confidence up there, dancing and shaking her hips as she made her way down the runway. 'I think what people are really responding to is that I was happy,' she continued during her exclusive chat with 'There are so many beautiful women in the world, but there's something magnetic about joy. Feeling alive - that's the real glow-up.' During the show, the Skinnygirl founder wore multiple looks, showing off her toned legs and stomach in a sultry pink polka dot bikini and black cover-up, which she later ripped off to reveal a thong bikini bottom underneath. When she reached the end of the runway, Frankel turned around to show her backside to the audience, as she jokingly covered her mouth in surprise. Later on during the runway show, she emerged in a denim bikini top and black bottoms, which she paired with a cowboy hat; she also flashed some side boob in tiny leopard-print one-piece swimsuit. She also debuted a new, much-longer and lighter brown hairstyle at the event, rocking beach-like waves that fell perfectly around her face. As clips of the former Real Housewives of New York star circulated around the internet this weekend, many viewers discussed her look in droves. It even caught the attention of her pal Lauren Sanchez, who reposted a clip of Frankel on the catwalk and gushed, 'We all need this energy. And this body. Wow.' After the big response to her walk, Bethenny explained on TikTok that although the internet was 'fascinated' by her age, weight, and appearance, it took a lot of contouring makeup and spray tanning to achieve her look. And though people may be begging her for her workout routine, it actually turns out that the 54-year-old doesn't exercise - at all. 'I did not crash diet, I don't go to a gym, I don't have a workout, I walk on the beach,' she admitted.
