The Real Housewives, Of All People, Offer Marital Advice to Kim Kardashian

The Real Housewives of The Tri-State came out to newlywed's Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' Welcome to New York Party.  It's not exactly clear what Kim and Kris were being welcomed to.  Kris has been playing basketball for the New Jersey Nets for some time and living in the area.  Kim has lived in New York to film her and Kourtney's reality show, Kourtney and Kim Take New York.  Plus, Kim still resides in LA at least part-time, so it's not like this is some sort of earth shattering permanent move.  But when you're the Kardashians, you have parties for everything.

Sonja Morgan, Alex McCord, Simon VanKempen (NY), Dina Manzo (NJ), and Ramona Singer (NY) all attended A Night of Style & Glamour to welcome the KarHumps at Capitale on Wednesday, August 3 in New York.

Sonja wore a long leopard draped dress.  That along with her large blown out hair was a bit too animalistic and tribal.  Alex went for a more streamlined look with a fitted, print tube dress, while her fashion partner in crime, Simon, wore a plaid button down shirt and khaki pants.  Ramona chose a purple satin one-shoulder dress along with nude heels.

The Real Housewives are not known for having lasting marriages, particularly after they put them on TV.  However, they offered their advice to Kim and Kris on their new marriage, when reporters asked.

Bravo casts these women for their big personalities and opinions, so they were naturally asked about one of the biggest Housewives stories of all time- Russell Armstrong's suicide.  Ramona said, "To me the most tragic thing is that he felt the only way he could release his pain was to take his life."  Dina chimed in, "That little girl is gonna grow up without a daddy and to know that's how he took his life, is heartbreaking."

Taylor Armstrong mentioned that Russell abused her in divorce filings, and she reportedly kept photographic evidence.  Still, Simon thinks the show has to go on, telling Extra,  "It's awful, but you can't just scrap the series as if it didn't exist, because it does."  He continued defending reality TV, saying, "Reality TV, or having cameras in your life, it might put a magnifying glass on you, but the zit was still there.  The issues, the problems, were probably there beforehand."

Bethenny Might Be Done With Bravo

Bethenny Might Be Done With Bravo

Huffington Post is reporting that Bethenny's days with Bravo are numbered.  Bethenny has been added as the new host of an upcoming Telepictures talk show, which her pal Ellen Degeneres is involved in.  The pairing is no surprise as Bethenny seems to be on Ellen's current talk show every week.

“Telepictures couldn’t be happier with the pilot Bethenny shot. They know they have discovered the next great talk show host and it's Bethenny,” a TV insider tells HP. “This is 100 percent on the fast track. Plus, with Ellen behind her this will be huge.”

The insider adds, “Bravo has been good to Bethenny but at the same time, Bethenny has been good to Bravo. This is business and making the right move for her future. She will always be grateful for everything they have done but at the same time, after the tragic news of the suicide of a cast member of the Beverly Hills 'Housewives,' she doesn’t want to be part of an organization that rewards bad behavior.”

Whatever Bethenny's feelings on Bravo and reality TV are, she's still a part of it.  Bethenny was spotted filming away in New York City with comedian Lisa Lampanelli at ROC Restaurant, Monday, August 22.  Bethenny wore a green top, white skirt and gold heels, looking very sophisticated. 

Bethenny is preparing to move, but not to LA like she once tried to do. She just closed on a 3,000-square-foot $4.5 million, four-bedroom home located in Tribeca. The home is in the same building that hosted the most non secretive secretive wedding of all time, Beyonce and Jay-Z's.>

It appears that Bethenny is finally using that $120 million she earned in the Skinnygirl deal.  The home is definitely an upgrade from the cute, but small apartment she filmed her reality show in during past season.  According to Trulia (who has more photos of the posh place):

It’s an enormous (not a word you hear very often in NYC real estate), corner unit with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 11’3 ceilings. 16 large windows line the walls, opening the home up to spectacular New York City views. A decorative fireplace with Bateig Azul limestone is the centerpiece of the formal living/dining room, including wet bar with wine fridge, sink and ice-maker. Sunny east-facing kitchen features Pietra di Bedonia stone counter tops, glass tiles, Sub Zero refrigerator, Thermador professional stovetop, warming oven, and a Miele dishwasher.

Situated in the Northeast corner is the media room complete with blackout shades, and “built-ins” housing state-of-the-art surround sound for the entire home. A library is attached to a sizeable master suite and incredible Chambord limestone clad master bath with maple cabinetry, dual sinks, Whirlpool soaking tub and separate standing steam shower. Two additional bedrooms and bathrooms are also finished in Chambord limestone/glass tile and glass mosaic tiles.

But Bethenny still has some interest in going LA.  Her fourth reality star, yes fourth, titled Bethenny Goes L.A., will debut later this year.  For someone with so much to say about Bravo and reality TV, she sure can't get away from them.  She's competing with the Kardashians for most reality shows.

Bethenny has recently denied that her show is getting a new title.  She tweeted, "My show isn’t called “bethenny goes LA.” Bit of advice:50%of what you hear is true (if that)."

Bethenny is definitely loving white this summer.  She wore another white outfit, this time a cute knitted dress, as she was leaving the Prada store in SoHo, New York, Tuesday, August 30.  Although it's a close call, this knit dress beats Bethenny's white outfit above by a hair.  It's just uber chic and a perfect daytime summer look.

Danielle Staub is never too far from anything with the word wives in it.  Danielle makes press talking about her former Real Housewives of New Jersey castmates.

Now she's making friends with Vh1's own in-house wives, the Basketball Wives.  Danielle attended the premiere of the new show, Basketball Wives: LA at Tian at the Riverbank on Monday, August 29 in New York City.

Danielle wore an adorable pink and white spotted babydoll dress, which she paired with black peep-toe heels.

Meanwhile, Danielle recently got that whole stripper ordeal off of her chest.  Danielle signed a three-year contract with Scores strip club to make appearances.  Danielle failed to make her appearances and Scores sued her.

Danielle explains the story saying, “That’s in litigation right now," she says. "I wasn’t handled properly, I'm going to put it that way. But I wasn’t there to do what ended up being and if you look at my eyes all I can say is you can see something is wrong. Something went very wrong.”  In the clip above, Danielle also talks about the release of her sex tape.

Not only do the Bellinos want you to know they are not broke, they also are making it clear they are still madly in love with each.

Alexis and Jim Bellino kissed for the cameras at the release of Scarface On Blu-ray at the Belasco Theatre on August 23, 2011 in Los Angeles, California.  Jim seems like a Scarface kinda guy.  But who isn't?

Alexis looked great in a soft pink sleeveless dress with leopard print heels, and her usual impeccably curled hair.  Jim wore a dapper black suit.

Lea Black doesn't come out too much in comparison with some of her fellow Housewives, but she made a recent appearance at the 2011 Do Something Awards at the Hollywood Palladium, Sunday, August 14.  We know Lea loves her charity so it's no surprise she attended the awards dedicated to it.  After all, the entire first season of The Real Housewives of Miami was about her charity event.

Mrs. Black wore a beige, nude, and brown combination in the form of a dress, belt and cute heels.  Although the nude look is a bit last season, we applaud the look.  It's fresh and cute.

It's definitely doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to believe that Gretchen Rossi and Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin hang out.  Robin is known for getting good looking reality stars to dance with her Dolls.  We bet Gretchen is next in line to learn the Pussycat Dolls' routine.

Gretchen was joined by boyfriend Slade Smiley as they dined at Robin Mauro's Cafe at Fred Segal back on Friday August 5.

Gretchen proved why she's perfect for the Pussycat Dolls, looking absolutely radiant.  Wearing black shorts, a black blazer, and red heels for a pop of color, Gretchen looked very fashionable.
