[Kelly Killoren Bensimon (L) vs. Jill Zarin (R)] It was a battle to end all battles. At least for this season on the Real Housewives of NYC. Kelly BensimonJill Zarin. versus Who would throw the better Halloween Bash? The costumes! The fake hair! The Reality TV Scandals. Who came out on top? Do any of you care?
Apparently, Jill Zarin could use some tips from LuAnn de Lesseps‘ “Class With The Countess“. The NY Housewife recently attended a Broadway show and talked throughout the first 15 minutes. [NY Post]

This morning, we brought youBethenny’s take on the new NY Housewives. Some fresh meat in the group does not mean that old frenemy relationships are going to die, and thank goodness for that. With everything from Ramona calling the Count an old man to Kelly Bensimon’s classic, “[I'm up here, and you're down here]” belittling of Ms. Frankel, pushing these throw downs to the wayside would be almost as heartbreaking as Jill Zarin not getting to sit front row.

Gustavino’s hosted the Sony Vaio and Windows launch event, introduing the new, signature notebook collection available for the fall. NY Housewife Jill Zarin, Larenz Tate and Star Jones headed to the Upper East Side restaurant to see the latest in tech accessories, as did Peter Facinelli and a gaggle of his Twilight vampires. Unfortunately Robert Pattinson was not among the blood suckers. He doesn’t seem quite like the computer type, so much as the ‘just walk around and be good looking’ type.
Remember in July, when Wale kicked it at the Hudson Hotel with DJ Mark Ronson, and it was like 80 degrees out, and the roof was open? That was not quite the case for Thursday night’s second Svedka Vodka Session in New York City (third total), with October’s first night approaching closer to a cool 50 degrees, but if you had to bottle fall, that’s exactly what you could have done with the Hudson Hotel’s atmosphere.

If Marc Jacobs is the A-list show of the season, than it looks like we might have to dubb Jill Stuart the B-list celebrity sh-itshow equivalent. With just about every Bravo show represented front row at this morning’s 12pm show at the New York public library, the turn-out had the paprazzi’s head spinning at who to snap first. The Real Housewives of New York had a solid showing with Jill Zarin, LuAnn de Lesseps, and Kelly Bensimon, but as an added treat both the Real Housewives of New Jersey and Atlanta were represented

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) hosted an event on the roof of 230 5th Avenue to raise funds to help ensure fair, accurate and inclusive representation of Gay people in media…and SO… they hired caricature artists, psychics, balloon makers, face painters and go-go waiters. Ironic? Maybe, but probably just tragically counter-productive. More story and photos below… More »
