Kyle Richards Wants Camille to Stay on Real Housewives?!

Despite being sworn enemies on their Bravo show, Kyle says she doesn't want Kelsey Grammer's ex-wife to leave the series

You'd think after all of the catfights and insults Kyle Richards and Camille Donatacci have traded this season on Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that Kyle would be jumping for joy about the rumors that Camille has decided not to do another season (if Bravo greenlights one).

But Kyle dropped a bomb at Boa for CoverGirl's 50th anniversary party Wednesday when she actually said she'd like Camille to return to the series.

Say what?! We'll let her explain...

"Would I want her to be there [if there was another season]? Yes, I would," Kyle told me, adding that: "I know that we're very different and we're like oil and water together, but I can't help but think what she's going through in her personal life might have something to do with that. It'd be interesting to see what happens when things in her life have calmed down a bit and maybe we can work things out a little better."

Kyle is of course referring to the split Camille is going through with Kelsey Grammer, who's since announced plans to marry his newest girlfriend before his divorce to Camille was even finalized.

Perhaps Paris Hilton's feisty aunt is smart enough to realize that without an archenemy on the show, there'd likely be less drama and fewer viewers.

Kyle said all of the Housewives got together to tape the "grueling and painful" reunion episode on Tuesday.

As for Camille, who's been dubbed "The Most Hated Housewife" on the cover of Life & Style last week, her rep told E!: "She hasn't made a decision and won't until after the reunion show."

In other words, pony up, Bravo. That Malibu mansion of hers isn't going to pay for itself!
