Paula Abdul, despite enjoying her time on 'American Idol,' has no desire to join any 'Real Housewives' franchise. She'd rather watch from the comfort of her couch with her dogs.

Kris Jenner, who has made guest appearances on 'RHOBH', doesn't plan to join full-time. She's too busy and believes the show doesn't need her.
Monica, suggested by Andy Cohen for 'RHOA', has no interest in joining unless she has creative control. She wants to ensure her children see her in a positive light and would prefer to work on projects that help others.
