RHNY: Kelly & The Jilted Moron

"I don't even know if I qualify him as lover. How about a jilted moron?"
- Ed Hayes, attorney for Ms. Bensimon

So during the RHNY reunion special Andy Cohen talks to Kelly about the domestic violence allegations brought against her. Watch this preview clip and join me at below.

• He came to my house.
• I said please leave.
  
• He wouldn't leave.
  
• Then he walks to the police precinct and sits with the detective.
  

Wait, huh?? I'm confused. So how/when did you bust Nick (the jilted moron) Stefanov's face up? Was there some sort of edit? That a pretty major gap in your re-telling of the events.

What's with your tissue issue? They were trying to be nice. Little Miss Pouty-Puss.

Very bizarre.

RHNY: Kelly & Max- A Love Affair (with publicity)

"Do guys like me for me, or do they want to come to a party with me?"
- Kelly Bensimon from her Bravo Blog

Hmmm, I don't know Kelly. Why don't you tell us?

So, Kelly shows up with her “boyfriend”, actor Max Palacio to her 41st birthday party on Friday at The Gates. However, the rumor is they barely spoke at all during the party. Palacio spent more time with his arm around some German model!

That is, until photographers started snapping Kelly with her birthday cupcakes (iced with a picture of her in a bathing suit- Gag!). Suddenly, Palacio was at her side —getting into a flirty frosting fight for the lensmen. When the snapping stopped, they separated again. Max left on his own.

But then, as Bensimon reminded us a few days earlier, “Housewives” isn’t a reality show, “It’s surreality. The minute there’s a camera on you, it’s not real. The thing I like about it is they make you into a chameleon”.

You say chameleon, I say big, phoney, faker. Tomato, Tomahto!

RHNY: Who is Jill Zarin's Jeweler?

Oh that Jill Zarin loves her some bling doesn't she?
In almost every episode there's been some reference made about Jill's jewels. There was Betheny dipping into Jill's overstuffed jewelry box while doing her now infamous impression of Jill. We've heard Jill herself her talking about her massive diamond rings- The Baby and The Momma (note: given the size of The Baby it's an absolute certainty you'd need to do strength training before being able to lug around around The Momma). When we saw Jill out with Kelly purchasing the $16,000.00 B-bag (Béatrice Amblard custom handbag) for her birthday she lets Kelly know, "This gift is 'moderate' and that considering the economy, I didn't think we should spend a lot. Last year was big jewelry".

So where does Jill get these big fabulous baubles? From Jeweler Jeri Cohen of Jeri Cohen's Fine Jewelry. Jeri's been in the jewelry biz for 20 years and has a boutique, located in Trump Plaza (3rd Ave. @ 61st NYC). She specializes in diamonds and has gained particular notoriety for her engagement rings (momma? baby?) and her butterfly and flower collection.

Meet Jeri in the preview clip for tomorrow nights finale show as Jill and Kelly stop in to pick up jewelry for a charity event.


Isn't she adorable? I did find something while researching Jeri. It seems in August 2008 a lawsuit filed against her by Van Cleef & Arpels for copyright infringement.
Hmmm...interesting.

RHNY: Columbia Schumbia!

"Honestly, if being inauthentic means graduating from Columbia University, writing three books, starting two magazines, bearing two children, being the ambassador for wool, running a marathon for charity -- if that's inauthentic?"






-Kelly Bensimon

Really? You know, I don't mean to split hairs but...
"Kelly went to Columbia University School of General Studies and graduated in 1998." Bensimon's rep said.
According to its Web site, The School of General Studies of Columbia University is a liberal arts college "created specifically for returning and nontraditional students".
Inauthentic? Hmmm...That's such a strong word.

RHNY: I Feel Pretty (on the outside)

I stopped by Pretty On The Outside today only to be greeted by the image on the left. Is that not the most hysterically accurate portrait of LuAnn?

"Victoria returned home after having been gone for two months and Luannatic welcomed her back with arms partially open. The daughter greeted her mother with a big hug and a heartfelt, "I missed you!" Mommy CoUNTess Dearest's replied, "You look good" with all the excitement off receiving a jury duty summons. Then Luann Dearest proceeded to snap at her child for not hanging up her coat. "Have... I... Taught... You.... ANYTHING?!!!!" Luannatic screamed as she grabbed the coat and ripped the sleeves off. Okay, I embellish. "

You think that's funny? Click on the image to go see what he said (and drew) with regard to Kelly's party (go to the bathroom first, it's tinkle your pants funny)!

Thanks Gilmore!

RHNY: Whoo's been naughty?

Uh Oh Kelly, seems you've got yet another legal problem. According to the NY Post's Page Six a former college at Elle Accessories is saying this:

"...Celeste Greenberg, who worked at the magazine when Bensimon was editor-in-chief, went on to found accessories line Tuleste Market. According to sources familiar with the matter, while at Elle Accessories, Greenberg had sourced a vintage owl pendant and given it to Bensimon to wear for photo shoots and media appearances. Greenberg allegedly went to Bensimon and struck up a verbal agreement in which the duo would design and manufacture a replica of the owl and split the profits.

But the lawsuit claims that Bensimon instead cut Greenberg out and went ahead and manufactured the pendant on her own. Bensimon currently sells the owl for $325 under her own jewelry line...."

RHNY: Sacked by Saks

Because I know you care...

From Page Six in today's New York Post:

An insider confirmed Saks has "no plans to re-sign" her, but denied that Bensimon's volatile relationship with her ex, Nicholas Stefanov (she was arrested last month for allegedly socking him in the face), had anything to do with it.

Poor Kellamity!

RHNY: What Is Up With These Broads?

Sins of the mother

I'm reading Page Six in The New York Post and they are running a story on Ramona's poor daughter Avery and how she's being shunned by the other little snots at Sacred Heart. The school even asked Ramona to take Avery off the show because they're embarrassed by her actions! Ramona, knowing what's best for her daughter declined.




The Real House-Blight of New York

Tucked down at the bottom of the Page Six Article is a blip about both Kelly Bensimon and The Count-less LuAnn putting their Hamptons homes on the market.

Of course, Your Mama at The Real Estalker never fails to tell it to you first and best. She already has the details up on her blog so I'm deferring to her to give you the scoop! Go!

RHNY: Who are you wearing?

I admit it, I am a BIG time reality TV junkie. A particular favorite is Bravo's Real Housewives of New York City. So when I came across this post The Real Housewives of New York City. Who are you wearing? on one of my favorite blogs Pretty On The Outside I had to share it with you.

You MUST take a look at the signature looks he's created for our ladies. You just have to!
