There’s something about Columbus Circle that hints of the holidays. Whether you go uptown to see the Thanksgiving Day Parade, do your gift shopping or take in the crisp air near Central Park, it’s all very Fall. Last night’s fundraiser with Kelly Bensimon, Jessica Simpson and Isaac Mizrahicontinued the season’s social circuit; one of several trips for which we don’t mind crossing 14th Street, now that we’re rooted in the city. Overlooking the dramatic roundabout with the sparkling nighttime lights always provides one of those, “I Love NYC” moments.
Say what you will about Jessica Simpson, the girl is pretty. And philanthropic! Last night she joined Kelly Bensimon and Isaac Mizrahi at the 16th Annual FFANY Shoe Sale, benefiting cancer research foundations. More »

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

Conversations will soon turn on to the U.S. Open. The arrival of tennis stars has been more of a bang than a whimper in New York.

[Kelly Bensimon, Andrew Saffir] via hamptons.guestofaguest.com: Last Saturday saw loads of activity out east. And Kelly Bensimon wasn’t going to miss any of the action. The Real Housewife left Miami just in time to check in the opening of Bridgehampton Polo, Russell’s white and black party, and the Social Life Magazine event hosted by Beth Ostrosky. Kelly’s hottest accessory that she carried with her all weekend? Andrew Saffrir, co-founder of the Cinema Society…we’ve been seeing these two all over town together. [NYC Socialite Arm Candy] MORE>>>
[Kelly Bensimon. Photos by Getty] Apparently, it’s not enough for Kelly Bensimon to be seen at every party in New York (No, really. Every. Party.); this week she sashayed down to Miami to be seen at every Mercedes-Benz Fashion Weekevent as well. Maybe it’s the cameras, maybe it’s the swag, but homegirl LOVES a good event. Bensimon attended the Extra Life Lycra and the L*Space by Monica swim shows. She was joined at both events by fellow reality tv “personality” Whitney Port, who attended with “actress” Roxy Olin More »

This morning, we brought you Bethenny’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.
