In addition to making our December very merry and bright courtesy of some rather sexy holiday-themed photos, Erika Girardi is also sharing some very real advice for any and all future Housewives out there. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills singer (who joined the crew back in Season 6) spoke to Paper magazine recently and shelled out her words of wisdom for any Housewives newbies.

"Shut up," she told the magazine, laughing. "Shut the f--- up about things you weren't there for. 'Cause you don't know anybody. I'm sorry, is that rude? Believe me, you're going to have to comment on stuff that happens in front of you, so just wait until that happens. 'Cause if you go out on a limb, you're going be the only one out there, honey. And no one's coming to save you, girl."

BTW, the 90210 squad will welcome a new face to the mix, Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, when Season 8 premieres on December 19 at 9/8c. Sneak a peek of Erika, Teddi and the ladies ahead of the premiere, below.
