Vanderpump Rules is a true Bravo goldmine filled with pretty people and drama galore. Not only do we love Lisa Vanderpump’s ‘Real Housewives’ spin-off series, but Jennifer Lawrence proved she’s also a fan by recreating the show’s opening credits with her gal pals during a night out at Pump last month.
