Soap vet Lisa Rinna won't be lathering up for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

A source close to the former Melrose Place star denies a report claiming the actress is joining the cast of Bravo's reality hit in its upcoming fourth season. A rep for the network also tells E! there is "no truth" to the story that first surfaced on Radar Online.

Unfortunately, that means Rinna will not be giving any lip to Lisa Vanderpump, Brandi Glanville or fellow luscious-pouted Taylor Armstrong. (Oh, what might've been!)

The hit reality series is currently in the midst of a casting shake-up, with both Adrienne Maloof and Camille Grammer recently confirming their exits. 

Rinna, married to former L.A. Law star Harry Hamlin, played Taylor McBride on '90s hit Melrose Place and recently returned for her second stint on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice
