So were you guys as shocked as I was when I found out the Ramona Singer was NOT pregnant?! Bravo really threw me for a loop with that one! (sarcasm)
This season of the Real Housewives of New York has come to an end too soon. But alas, we have one last thing to look forward to -- the always super dramatic Reunion Special!
Part 1 of the Real Housewives of New York Reunion Special will air this Monday, July 25th at 10/9c on Bravo and part 2 will air the following Monday on August 1st at 10/9c.
"[My boobs] are like melons now," Ramona tells Sonja. "I haven't even told [my husband] Mario that I'm late yet."
Ramona adds that her "breasts are huge and they hurt. The last time they were like this was when I was pregnant with Avery." Wow, that's one hell of a memory!
The Real Housewives of New York City finale airs tonight at 10:00PM EST on Bravo.
Real Housewife of New YorkKelly Bensimon is happy for Bethenny Frankel's success and spinoff show. No, really.
"I love it when people do well," she told me during our exclusive interview with her as she showed us around East Hampton. "The better that she does, the better the franchise of Housewives does."
On tonight's episode of Real Housewives of New York, we get to see Countess LuAnn as she heads to the recording studio to listen to her single and make some finishing touches with the producer.
Where's the drama in that, you may ask? She invites Jill to join her -- and she does a little more than sit back and listen.
“The words are great, but I think if you are going for the club market, more dance,” Jill suggests. “It sounds like chorus, dance, chorus, dance — and maybe it should be dance, chorus, dance, chorus. I don’t know. I’m just saying I want to hear you sing, but I also want to be able to dance. I don’t want to dance over your singing.”
“I love Jill, and Jill loves to take over as my manager, but I don’t think Chris really wanted her advice on how to mix his music,” she told cameras.
See for yourself how it all goes down tonight on the Real Housewives of New York City at 10:00PM on Bravo.
Kelly Bensimon isn't shy about her great body and has no regrets posing naked for Playboy last March. In fact, the 43-year-old author and jewelry designer thinks an upside of baring all some in the lad mag was that she showed people, including her daughters, that you don't have to be stick-thin to be happy and healthy.
"I showed like 80 percent. A little boobie, a little butt, ankles," she told Rob Shuter on his HDNet show. "The pictures actually make me look thinner than I was at the time. I really ate a lot. I wanted to be my normal body shape. I wanted to look like myself. Everyone else was on a diet and I was like, 'No! I want to be myself' ... Before that I was in a horse show, I was riding and running a lot. And being on 'Housewives' was really stressful for me and I just wanted to show that healthy is hot."
She later adds, "I think some people were wondering ... I have two kids, isn't that bad? But I think no; I want my kids to be happy and healthy and later on in their lives, be sexy and have fun. I don't want them to think that having an eating disorder is cool, because it's not!"
And it wasn't just for her body image that Kelly decided to pose naked, it was also to exact sweet revenge on Bethenny Frankel and the other 'Housewives' she believed bullied her on the show.
"I think the ladies were shocked by it," she told Shuter. "I think they thought, 'We tried to take you down and now you are doing Playboy, what?! And now I have Playboy so they are like, 'Wait a minute. This is not working!'"
"I don't think the way this went down was treated with class or dignity," says Donn, Vicki Gunvalson's estranged husband, of the reunion show for Real Housewives of Orange County's sixth season.
Between the screaming, the tears and the eye-rolling, there's going to be plenty of insults and accusations – all of which can be seen in a just-released, minute-long trailer for the upcoming episodes.
Tamra Barney, whose troubles with her ex and a new romance have been documented on the show, seems to be at the center of the storm.
"You were sleeping with another guy while your fiancé was dying," she says to Gretchen Rossi, who was engaged to the late Jeff Beitzel.
At one point in a clip of the show, which will air starting June 12 (9 p.m. ET) on Bravo, Tamra shrieks, "Is your ass jealous of the s–– that comes out of your mouth?"
She also accuses Jeana Keough of lying and gets into an argument with Gretchen's boyfriend, Slade Smiley, who accuses her of ... uh, promiscuous behavior.
"You're the lowest form of s–– in the world," Tamra says as she storms off the set.
Gretchen Rossi’s on a top-secret mission to keep her parents’ 40th wedding anniversary a big surprise!
But the pressure’s heating up! Gretchen has to handle the dress, the ring, the cake — and even her boy Slade seems a little stressed by her never-ending list of chores and shenanigans!
Will she cave under pressure? Or hit a home run and give her folks the time of their lives?

Alex ends up attending the same wedding – unbeknownst to Jill until she sees her there. Caught off guard, Alex starts slamming Jill with questions.
“So wait, I am totally confused now,” Alex says. “You told me a week ago that you knew I was coming to the wedding, but Ramona said you texted her this morning asking her if I was coming. So which is the truth?”
“Why does it matter to you?” Jill asks.
“The only reason it matters is because it’s contradictory,” Alex quickly responds.
“Alex, so what?,” Jill says, getting defensive. “I am happy to see you. It’s a beautiful wedding. We both have a mutual friend. Is there a problem for you? There is no problem for me.”
“I am not the one calling the bride and texting Ramona to find out,” Alex says. “When you hear A and B coming out of the same person’s mouth, you wonder which is it …”
Get ready for some full-frontal cleavage! Tamra Barney and her breast-buddy, Fernanda Rocha, are spicing things up in a photo shoot for the No-H8 campaign.
The newly-divorced Tamra hasn’t switched teams. But she sure does love getting some attention from her hot Brazilian trainer, Fernanda. And it looks like things will get steamy as the two strip down to near nakedness to support gay rights.

The cast members of Real Housewives franchises have found fame and notoriety by exposing their lavish and tumultuous lives for the world's entertainment, and they dished on how their reality star status has affected their lives on Wednesday in Hollywood.
"I think Bravo's offered us a lot of opportunities, a lot of great experiences, that maybe we wouldn't have had without being on the show," said Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi, who started her own Gretchen Christine Beaute makeup line.
"It's like therapy," said Peggy Tanous. "A lot of our interactions - it ends up being like therapy at the end of the day."
Peggy revealed her battle with suicide brought on by postpartum depression on an episode of Real Housewives of Orange County that aired March 27.
"For me, it's been a good diversion," said Camille Grammer, who went through a public divorce battle with ex-husband Kelsey Grammer this year.
While the next season's cast of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has not been announced, the ladies of the O.C. indicated that their new season will be full of surprises.
"After next week's episode, I swear to God I have clothes on the rest of the season," Tamra Barney joked.
In the preview video for the upcoming and delayed premiere of the Real Housewives of New York City we were given a tasty dose of Sonja Morgan vamping it up both with her words and her bloomers-revealing attire.
Miss Morgan has been playing the part of sex kitten out in her “real world” appearances as well. Her most recent public photo-op was at the New York Fireman’s Calendar event where she really turned up the heat for our brave hard working men from the NYC.
Just a few days ago she also appeared at the GLAAD media awards in New York City. During the red carpet walk the folks from Boy Culture caught up with her and asked her about the innuendos and suggestions from last season that she has “lesbian tendencies.”
Of season four, LuAnn promised "shifting of alliances, I would say, and a lot of surprises," and added, "Somebody almost gets killed on a camel in Marrakech, what can I say?"
LuAnn also teased that in season four, it's going to be "blondes versus brunettes."
For her part, Ramona said there will be "laughing," "crying," "jealousy" and "turtle time with Ramona [drinking] pinot grigio" this season.
Real Housewives of Orange County veteran Vicki Gunvalson (the only cast member left from the show's very first season) is still keeping it real with Us Magazine.
During a recent visit to Us' offices in NYC, Gunvalson, 49, admitted to Us, "I'm going through a midlife crisis."
The evidence? "I've got a convertible, a belly button ring, and I'm getting a divorce!" (Gunvalson and hubby Donn filed for divorce last year after 16 years of marriage.)
Actually, she had a belly button ring -- find out what happened to Gunvalson's piercing (ouch!) at an airport in this video, where she's joined by costars Alexis Bellino, Tamra Barney, and Gretchen Rossi.
In this exclusive chat, the Bravo stars also fess up about what plastic surgery they've had done -- and what they need! "Everybody seems to think i've had so much work done," Bellino tells Us before detailing what procedures she's undergone.
Bethenny Frankel has become very good at marketing herself. However, this kind of around-the-clock self-promotion can lead to problems, as revealed on Bethenny Ever After (Mon., 10PM ET on Bravo).
She sat down with husband Jason Hoppy to talk about why her business isn't producing product as quickly as she'd hoped and wasn't at all happy with what she was hearing.
"Everyone's freaking out because they can't get the product," she said. "And we're not producing it fast enough."
Jason explained to her that there wasn't sufficient demand during the early stages of production, and when demand peaked, they couldn't keep up.
Bethenny believed the demand would come all along, as she reminded him. "I told everyone this would happen," she reminded him. "Why can't everybody produce as fast as I can market?"
Adriana de Moura is once again the talk of the town when she has a wild night out. The other housewives discuss Adriana's inappropriate late night activities of dancing and drinking behind her back, but will the women face her head-on in the hopes of helping her keep a healthy relationship, or will they keep quiet and watch and see if she self-destructs?
Find out tonight 3/8 at 10:00PM/9:00PMc on BRAVO's Real Housewives of Miami!
"The truth is, I don't even remember being friends with her anymore," Jill tells him on his HDNet show. "You know, when I see her picture and when I see her on TV, I don't even remember our relationship. Which kinda says something."
The pair's friendship went down in flames during the third season of the hit show, with numerous on-air blowups leading to a full scale feud between the two. It probably didn't help that Jill accidentally broke the news of the birth of Bethenny's baby last year on Twitter.
But after many attempts to patch things up, it's pretty clear things are kaput for good for these ex-BFF's and Jill tells me she's fine with it because they didn't exactly have long history. "People thought we came into the show with that romance," she said. "We didn't. We fell in love on TV and we got a divorce on TV."
Now a year later, she's not even sure she and the Bethenny Ever After star were chums to begin with! "It was real! Well, I thought the friendship was real. Clearly, it was not."
