Following the announcement that Lala Kent is in early talks to join “The Valley,” Lisa Vanderpump made a suggestion about a potential overhaul of “Vanderpump Rules.”
The mother of “Pump Rules” made an appearance on Wednesday’s episode of “Call Her Daddy,” in which host Alex Cooper suggested a “whole new cast” of SUR employees in an attempt to give the popular Bravo series a “fresh start.”
“I would die to watch kids back at SUR—that’s Vanderpump’s restaurant in West Hollywood, California—trying to make it in acting or modeling and get back at it,” Copper stated.

After a brief pause, 63-year-old Vanderpump stated that she has “several” of those kinds of children. She then slyly said, “You know what? That might be an idea that goes from your tongue to God’s ears.
It’s not necessarily your pitch, but I’m not sure. She teasingly said, “Someone might have arrived there before you.
Cooper questioned Vanderpump earlier in the episode about whether she thought the program could go on given that the dramatic reunion had left the “friend group is a disaster.”
“Do I think it will be back? Yes. Do I think it needs to breathe? Yes. Am I totally busy at opening another restaurant? Yes. So I think let’s just give it a minute, let everybody live their life,” she said.
Season 11 of “Vanderpump Rules” aired the final episode on Tuesday, and fans have since been wondering if the show will get renewed.

“Lala is in early talks to join ‘The Valley.’ She is very connected with that cast. Those girls are her very good friends and mom crew,” a source told us earlier this month.
The insider clarified that Kent would film both shows if the opportunity arose, since “Vanderpump Rules” is “her home.”
The new show has gained popularity since its premiere in March and stars former “VPR” stars Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright and Kristen Doute, as well as Luke Broderick, Nia Sanchez, Daniel Booko, Janet and Jason Caperna, Michelle and Jesse Lally, Zack Wickham and Jasmine Goode.

Former “VPR” star Stassi Schroeder revealed in 2022 that the spinoff –– then dubbed “Valley Rules” –– was initially supposed to star the entire older cast and start in 2020. However, her own firing and the COVID-19 pandemic caused production to pause on both shows.
“They were going to slowly transition us and keep ‘Vanderpump Rules’ with a whole new cast of people who work at the restaurant, and so the rest of us would transition into this,” Schroeder said on “The Morning Toast” podcast in April 2022.
“The way that ‘Vanderpump Rules’ started, where it was like ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ and it transitioned into ‘Vanderpump,’ that’s what we were going to do with my wedding,” she said, referring to her 2020 wedding to husband Beau Clark.
