Lisa and Harry Have a Commons Problem

Lisa Rinna may have turned off the lights, but it's possible she still forgot something when she left her Calabasas store.
The TV host and hubby Harry Hamlin have been sued for back rent they supposedly owe on the former location of their clothing boutique Belle Gray, which closed earlier this month, according to a complaint filed yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
The Commons at Calabasas, a swanky shop-and-eat area in the moneyed San Fernando Valley enclave, says the couple up and left the storefront four years into a 10-year lease, owing $635,083.73 in back rent and damages.
But oh, not so fast, tweets Rinna.
The Melrose Place 1.0 star wrote on Twitter today that their version of events is "a very different story. Let the games begin!"
Lisa Rinna: No Longer Looking to Visit Melrose Place

It appears to be the end of an era, folks.
Lisa Rinna has given up her long-standing crusade to join the cast of the CW's Melrose Place remake. "We had a moment, and it was real fun," Rinna tells us. "I've moved on. It's all good."
After breaking the news to us back in October that the CW was going to give the series a second run, Rinna started a very public campaign to convince producers she should reprise her role as Taylor McBride...

Rhonda Blair wants to move back to Melrose Place.
Who?
Ya may remember Rhonda from the very early days of the original Melrose. She was the perky aerobics instructor played by Vanessa Williams (no, not Ugly Betty's Vanessa Williams—another one). Rhonda was gone after just one season.
But we caught up with Williams yesterday. Like Lisa Rinna, she wouldn't mind a shot on the CW's upcoming revamped MP…
Lisa Rinna Continues Her Melrose Place Plea

In this troubled economy, desperate times sometimes call for desperate measures.
Such would seem to be the case for Lisa Rinna, who was spotted Wednesday sporting this sandwich board sign as part of her ongoing effort to reprise her role as Taylor McBride on the CW's upcoming reboot of the '90s hit TV series Melrose Place.
It turns out, though, the shameless act was a bit for a new Web show. Um, OK, but still…
"A dear friend asked me if I would do this skit," Rinna told E! News at the opening of the What Comes Around Goes Around vintage shop in L.A. "I said why not? Because, you know me, I'll do anything."
Clearly. Unlike another Melrose alum, who was not only asked back without ever having to grovel, but, get this, actually turned the offer down. Ouch!

Gotta love Lisa Rinna for having no shame.
She's publicly begging producers of the upcoming revamped Melrose Place for a job. Ms. Rinna really wants to return to the series as her late-'90s character Taylor McBride.
Lisa Rinna Decides to Get Naked

Not too shy to bare her bikini-ready bod, Lisa Rinna is apparently only gearing up for an even more revealing day in the sun.
The TV Guide Network correspondent and former Dancing With the Stars contestant has more or less confirmed rumors—well, she's certainly not doing anything to squelch them—that she's planning to pose nude for Playboy.
"I'm the worst liar on the planet; I can't lie, so...I think that could be a yes," she told Extra recently when asked about the possibility.
Not that this will be a new experience for the 45-year-old mother of two.
Rinna also took it all off for the House That Hef Built when she was Demi-on-the-cover-of-Vanity-Fair pregnant with her and Harry Hamlin's now 10-year-old daughter, Delilah Belle, in 1998.
