Looks like we’ll be treated to a season of Housewives wars. Jill, LuAnn, and Kelly versus Bethenny, Ramona and Alex. Strange bedfellows, I would say.
An excerpt from Kelly Bensimon’s recent People Magazine interview sums it up:
How is your relationship with Ramona Singer, who makes an insult about your breasts in an upcoming episode??
Ramona is Ramona. She knows she can say whatever she wants and I’m not going to cry because she’s just trying to spark up a moment. I got a lot of flack for not being mean last year. But I don’t need to say anything snarky. It’s not going to make me more famous to be mean. But it’s the nature of the show. It’s Mean Girls for the 40s set. The meaner you are, the more attention you get. And I just don’t play that game. That’s why on the show, there’s a complete disconnect, because I’m so real, and — with the exception of Jill [Zarin] and LuAnn [de Lesseps] — these women are off their rockers. We’re supposed to be bonding and being awesome, not tearing each other apart.
Speaking of tearing each other apart, what happened during your latest altercation with Bethenny?
I can’t speak to her sensationalism. Everything that happens between the two of us is something that she fabricates. It has nothing to do with me. Listen, that’s her way of getting press. If she talks about me then she gets press and that’s her game.
There seems to be two cliques this season — you, Jill and LuAnn versus everyone else.
I don’t think of it that way. I try to give every single person the benefit of the doubt until they go off to a place where I can’t be a part of it. When it becomes a made-for-TV movie on Lifetime, then I’ve got to excuse myself. But I really don’t see two teams. Each woman has something that’s really exciting or interesting about her, or she wouldn’t be on TV.
Kelly Bensimon: My Housewives Costars Are ‘Off Their Rockers’ – PEOPLE TV Watch
The new season of the Real Housewives of New York premieres March 4, but the cast is feuding, in public, even before we see the divisions, clashes and catfights. They won’t show up for each other’s premiere parties.

Meow! Ramona Singer threw a premiere party for the new season of “Real Housewives of New York City” on Wednesday night – but some of her castmates and “friends” were noticeably absent.
Jill Zarin , Kelly Bensimon and LuAnn de Lesseps were nowhere to be seen at Tenjune, although Bethenny Frankel, Alex McCord and Sonja Morgan celebrated with Singer.
The reason?
“There’s a clear split between the cast, and you can definitely see it by who decided to attend Ramona’s party,” says a source.
There’s a little competition going on, too: The insider says de Lesseps is throwing her very own bash when the Bravo show premieres next Thursday.
“Since LuAnn is having her own party, she felt there was no reason to attend,” the snitch says. “But that is a little surprising, considering Andy Cohen and a number of other Bravo honchos were all at Ramona’s party. Everyone was expecting her, Jill and Kelly to at least stop by.”
While Singer tried to save face and enjoy her fete, there was one other housewife who couldn’t mask her sour feelings about the rifts between the ladies: Newest addition Jennifer Gilbert was overheard whining that despite helping de Lesseps book Chelsea venue La Pomme for her premiere party next week, she didn’t even get invited.
Worse still, Gilbert’s not even sure about the gal who did put her on the guest list. “As for Ramona,” she was later overheard sighing, “I think she just hates me.”
At least she has a sense of humor about being on the outs with the in-crowd. Gilbert was also heard laughing to some non-Housewife guests, “Am I going to get voted off the island?”

The Countess has a new man! Countess LuAnn De Lesseps of the Real Housewives of New York City confirmed to PEOPLE magazine that she is dating French wine distributor Jacques Azoulay, pictured above.
“I feel very lucky,” the recently divorced LuAnn told People. “We met at a party for a friend of mine who is a singer. The first time I saw him, I was like, ‘Wow!’ He’s a wow kind of guy. He’s just lovely.”
Things seem to have gotten serious between the two as LuAnn reveals she recently met his family. “I just got back from Paris for Valentine’s Day. We went to see the parts of Paris that Jacques grew up in … it went very well. [His family are] very nice people, lovely people.”
“I feel very lucky, I never thought I would be lucky enough to find somebody like that again in my life,” continued LuAnn.
If you recall, her husband Count Alexandre De Lesseps dumped her via email for Princess Kemeria of Ethiopia last year.
excerpt from realityea
The matriarch of the Manzo’s of New Jersey, and the central character on the Real Housewives of New Jersey , Caroline Manzo made a stunning appearance on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” earlier today. The woman she was assisting, Nina, made $50,000. Andy Cohen mugged for the camera as a Lifeline, and Sheree Whitfield asked a question. About what? She by Sheree, of course.
LuAnn Countess de Lesseps( her post-divorce “honorary” title) appeared in a magenta dress, looking elegant as always, but her segment will air tomorrow.
