Lisa Rinna may gave shuttered her Belle Gray retail fashion store locations, but she has a new gig on TV Land.

The Apparel News reported a lawsuit is pending over alleged unpaid rent for the pricey retail clothing boutique owned by Rinna.

"Lisa Rinna, a television host and actress, closed the Calabasas, Calif., location of her Belle Gray boutique chain on Oct. 1.  On Oct. 22, her former landlords, The Commons at Calabasas LLC, filed a lawsuit against her in Los Angeles County Superior Court for breach of contract. The Commons at Calabasas retail center is owned by Rick Caruso, who developed the popular The Grove retail center in Los Angeles."

Despite the lousy economy, TV Land announced it greenlit a six-episode docu-soap entitled “Harry Loves Lisa” featuring Lisa Rinna and her husband, Harry Hamlin. 

The series centers on the relationship between Rinna and Hamlin as they navigate their "hectic Hollywood lifestyle." 

“Harry Loves Lisa” original series is scheduled to air in Fall 2010 on TV Land. 

"We are thrilled to be working with TV Land!” states Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin.  “Our show will shine the spotlight on the adventure that is our life and the magic that holds us together."

“There is no denying the chemistry of this amazingly beautiful, smart and sexy couple,” states Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land.  “When I met them, I was immediately blown away by their relationship.  They are so proud and supportive of each other.  It's clear why this relationship works on so many levels.  Our audience will love seeing their honesty, humor and often-outrageous antics.”
