Hosting

In 2002, Rinna was named co-host of Soap Talk, the daily lifestyle show that
airs on SOAPnet, for which she received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination. In
June 2006, SoapNet announced that it was canceling Soap Talk after four
seasons due to low ratings.

In August 2007, Rinna replaced Joan Rivers as the host of TV Guide Network's
red carpet coverage. Rinna has recently guest-hosted Live with Regis and
Kelly.

Lisa Rinna hosts the TV makeover program "Merge" on Lifetime.

Reality television

She competed in the second season of Dancing with the Stars and was
eliminated in Round Seven based on audience voting, despite having higher
marks from the judges than fellow celebrity dancer Jerry Rice.

On December 4, 2008, TV Guide reported that Rinna and Hamlin have signed a
deal to create a reality TV series based around their family life. The
series is being developed by TV Land.

Modeling

In 1998, Rinna created a stir when she posed for a nude pictorial while six
months pregnant in the September issue of Playboy magazine. She will pose
again in 2009. Rinna explains she received direct orders from Playboy
photographer Deborah Anderson, who also shot Rinna for the Room 23 book.
"She said, 'I do not want you long and sinewy and angular and muscular. I
want you soft,' " says Rinna. "This was really hard for me because being 45
years old and posing for Playboy, you want to amp it up," Rinna told People
at Tuesday's Room 23 book launch hosted by Sanela Diana Jenkins and Neuro
Brands.
