Kyle and Kim Richards, who are Kathy Hilton's younger sisters and aunts to Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton, could be the stars of Bravo's upcoming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The Richards sisters are lower-profile than their superfamous Hilton relatives, but they travel in circles no less tony.

According to TheDailyTruffle.com, Bravo is still deciding between two groups of five women for their Beverly Hills cast but the network desperately want to make it work with the Richards sisters.

Could this really happen? What do the Richards women have to say for themselves? Here's what we're hearing about plans to expand the supersuccessful Bravo franchise...

When E! News asked Kim Richards, a twice-divorced 45-year-old and mother of four, about starring on the show, Richards told us, "Possibly...I'm on a really tight gag order so I can't say anything else."

Kyle Richards, 41, who is married and has four daughters, is no stranger to reality TV. Richards has already appeared on niece Paris' shows The Simple Life and My New BFF. Kyle Richards did not return E!'s requests for comment.

Production on the Beverly Hills version of the Housewives franchise would begin in March; the cast would have a 10-month commitment. 

Bravo would not confirm reports linking the Richards sisters to the Housewives franchise. A rep for Bravo tells E! News, "We haven't made any announcements about this so am afraid we don't have anything else to add at this point."
