Beverly Hills 'Housewives' Star Talks Motherhood, Media

BEVERLY HILLS  (CBS)  — The "Real Housewives" franchise premiered in the land of Botox and paparazzi stake-outs  on the Bravo network last week, and already at least one star is complaining to the media.

Adrienne Maloof, co-owner of the various business holdings of Maloof Companies, which include the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas and the Sacramento Kings, tells KFWB's Maggie McKay and Michael Shappee the challenges of juggling motherhood, business, and the television camera crews.

The drama on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" was overshadowed before it began by recent events surrounding Kelsey Grammer's soon ti be ex-wife Camille Grammer and the unexpected miscarriage of Grammar's mistress, English flight attendant Kayte Walsh.

Domestic goddesses in the new series also include Kim Richards and her sister Kyle Richards, both child stars; Lisa Vanderpump;; and Taylor Armstrong.
