Lisa Vanderpump burst onto the scene as a breakout star on THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS, but as a mega successful restranteur, she wanted more. One of her HOUSEWIFE producers, Alex Baskin, emailed a screen grab to Bravo from the website of one of Lisa's restaurants, Sur, and what was an immediate "yes" turned into a nearly year long adventure until officially being greenlit. The rest is television history and with over 100 episode produced, VANDERPUMP RULES shows no signs of abating. 

I was fortunate enough to sit down with my childhood friend, Alex, and the one and only Lisa at her stunning home for a conversation about VANDERPUMP RULES. It's not only one of TV's greatest guilty pleasures, but it's also a shining example of how entertainment and business can intersect in some pretty incredible ways. Enjoy!
