I guess the powers that be have finally realized we are sick of watching these three fight over made up stuff just to keep themselves relevant on the show.

Sources inside Bravo tell me that Jill Zarin, Alex McCord and Kelly Bensimon have all be let go from the series and will not be returning as fulltime cast members next season. The source explained that the women were directly contacted by Bravo on Thursday morning with the news — they had no idea the pink slips were headed their way.

Now it’s up to LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer (the only original cast members remaining) and Sonja Morgan to carry the show. Plus Lesseps dished to New York Live yesterday that three new ladies will be added to the cast.

But according to another insider, the three housewives who were not invited back were told that they could possibly be reinstated next season if any of the new cast members don’t work out — and we’re sure that Zarin, McCord and Bensimon have their fingers crossed that they won’t.

The bitchiest bitch on The Real Housewives of New York said her dermatologist “injects Restalyne on the side [of the face] so it gives you a pull. You don’t fill in the smile lines, because that’s too inaccurate… People used to use silicone, don’t use that stuff. Then she does Botox down here [gestures to neck]… tightens the neck. It’s all about pulling and tightening. Here I’ve been doing [between the eyebrows] for 10 years. My forehead and here. But this is really the difference… since I’m 5 years old I’ve always had bangs.”

My newest least favorite housewife looks like she’s had some may-jah work done. In the first episode of this seasons The Real Housewives of New York, Jill Zarin said she’s done alot of work on herself over the past year. You know since she showed her ass last season and bullied a pregnant Bethenny Frankel into tears.

We all assumed by saying she’s ‘done work on herself’ she meant internally. Dealing with the fact that she came off as a complete biatch and maybe realizing what Ramona has always said about her is right must have made her hate the way she looks in the mirror. So she changed it!

What do you think? Nose job? Definitely Botox but do you think she had an eye lift too?

PS…for those of you who aren’t obsessed with this show like I am..Ramona always says that Jill can only be friends with an underdog or someone who is her equal. She can’t be friends with someone whose star is shining brighter than her own. RE: Betthenny Frankel.

Hey, you don’t mess with a pregnant and hormonal Bethenny Frankel and get away with it.

While it’s unsure if anyone other than Ramona and Alex will return to The Real Housewives of New York City next city, Jill has gone so far as to say that “she doesn’t want to go back to the show.”

“[Jill] said there were compelling reasons to not return.She wants to go on a spiritual journey!”

She totally needs to do an Eat Pray Love thing next year and get her mean girl self back to Brooklyn! Go Team Alex!

Is she hedging her bets in case she gets fired from the show? Is she really so vain that she wants everyone to see her naked? I don’t get it. This is not typical behavior for a Real Housewife. Well, except for that unfortunate nude photo of Alex from season one…but Alex and Simon don’t really count.

Not even the Jersey girls are getting naked in Playboy. I can’t wait to see what the Countess has to say about this.

There are few more NSFW pictures after the jump.

But since I have strong dislike of The Real Housewives of New York’s Kelly Bensimon, what the hell?

I’m taking a poll around the water cooler and most of us seem to agree she’s had breast implants, a tummy tuck and lip…all three done badly.

Bethenny has her own reality show in the works and will leave mid-season.

Sonja will probably make her appearance around episode five of the new season of Housewives. “It’s not pretty between Bethenny and the other cast members in the episodes that they’ve already taped.” the insider adds. “I think the show is going to explode this season!”

Meanwhile, Kandi Burruss, the newest cast member of the Atlanta franchise, is coping with the tragic death of her fiancé, Ashley “A.J.” Jewell, who appeared regularly on the show.

Atlanta police said that Jewell received a severe head injury during a fight at The Body Tap Club in the 1200 block of Marietta Boulevard in Atlanta.”It appears he was involved in an altercation in the parking lot and he received a severe blow to the head,” said Atlanta Police Lt. Keith Meadows.Meadows said Jewell was taken to Piedmont Hospital where he later died.

The Real Housewives of New York maybe be one short of the original crew when it returns for season 3. Fan favorite Bethenny Frankel will be filming her own show for Bravo this fall called “Skinny & The City“. The show will “follow her planning her wedding to fiance Jason Hoppy”.

No work from Bravo if Bethenny will keep her cushy spot on the “Housewives” show or if she’ll be replaced.

“She got wind he was seeing somebody and he didn’t answer her when she called. He finally sent her an e-mail saying he was with an Ethiopian woman in Geneva and he was serious with her.”

Luann was blindsided. She was just devastated,” the close friend told Page Six. “They have basically lived apart for many years — he lives in Europe and comes and goes as he pleases, but she never thought this would happen.

“It has been very rough for her and the children [Victoria and Noel], but she’s taking the high road and will remain friends with him,” the source added. “She has no intention of making it bitter or becoming angry. She’s just trying to come to terms with [the separation and impending divorce]. She feels this is the ultimate test for her to handle this with dignity and grace.”

Perhaps Luann should teach the Count some manners. Ending a 15 year marriage through email is so plebean. Luann’s new condescending book Class with the Countess will still be published next month…although she won’t be a Countess for much longer.
