Why the Break From Filming Season 12?

Keeping Busy Between Seasons
While Vanderpump Rules might be on hiatus, Lisa Vanderpump certainly isn't slowing down. She's confirmed to be a judge on the upcoming season of "Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars," premiering on Fox on May 22nd.
"When [Gordon Ramsay] first asked me to do it, we had a kind of playful relationship, albeit competitive because we had restaurants opposite each other," she said about joining the show.
She went on to explain why she found the project appealing, "But I just also thought it was very interesting on many different levels because it was going to be about the emotional component between the contestants, the business strategy, the challenges, survival of the fittest, the iconic places that we were gonna go. And ultimately how Gordon and I would handle each other."
