“I was asked to be a Housewife for Beverly Hills,” Christina said. “They asked me to be one 10 years ago."

The former Dead to Me star asked her friend if he thought she'd be a good fit for the popular franchise, and he candidly replied, "It would have been the most boring shit I have ever seen in my life.”

“I wouldn’t have shown up to any dinners,” Christina added. “I would have been in my sweatpants, and I’d be laying in bed. What fun is that? No. I would be the worst Housewife anyway.”
