Andy Cohen Talks About The Real Housewives Franchise; Addresses RHONJ Season 7 Casting Rumors!

Andy Cohen recently sat down with E! News Alicia Quarles to discuss the Real Housewives franchise. The Watch What Happens Live host dishes about The Real Housewives of New Jersey, The Real Housewives of New York City, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and even about Australia's very own, The Real Housewives of Melbourne!

Cohen admits that one Housewife is constantly on his mind, and that is RHONJ's Teresa Guidice, who has been serving her 15-month prison sentence since January.

"I haven't spoken to Teresa yet. Her access to the outside world is obviously limited," Andy admitted. "Certainly I'm thinking about her. I woke up thinking about her this morning actually."

Still, Andy is keeping tabs on the mom of four through another RHONJ castmate. "I'm kind of checking in through Dina [Manzo] to find out how she's doing. By all accounts she's hanging in there and doing okay. We'll watch what happens with that."

With several original housewives, like Teresa and Caroline Manzo, out of the picture, the Internet has been abuzz with casting rumors surrounding the next season of the show. Names thrown around have included everyone from Snooki to Tiki Barber's wife Traci Lynn Johnson to Cake Boss Buddy Valastro's wife Lisa. "I haven't seen any Jersey casting," Andy said about the rumors. "Here's the thing: they're doing a wide net so we haven't cast Jersey. So anything you've heard about casting Jersey is not true right now."

On the topic on The Real Housewives of New York City, Andy shared his excitement about the upcoming new season.

"Bethenny's back doing what she does best, which is being a Housewife," Cohen tells E!. "From the moment she comes back, you're like, ‘Oh my god'…[Real Housewives of New York City] is back, it is better than ever. I'm getting goose bumps talking about it."

On the topic of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Andy spilled the tea that there's a "shocking smoking gun" about Lisa Rinna that comes to light during the reunion.
