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 housewives] will sit in for vacationing Kathie Lee Gifford to chat about news, do interviews and take part in wacky Today show segments.”

• Bethenny Frankel (New York) is on Monday,
• Danielle Staub (New Jersey) is on Tuesday,
• NeNe Leakes (Atlanta) is on Wednesday, and
• Tamra Barney (Orange County) is on Thursday.

Gotta remember not to watch on Thursday. The other days may actually turn out to be funny but I just can’t stomach those OC girls anymore.

Shame on you Bravo!!!  These chicks are interesting and crazy enough with the Soprano’s tie in.

In the preview of next week’s episode Bravo revealed that Danielle’s shady past could be found in an out-of-print book called  “Cop Without A Badge”. The book is about Kevin Maher , a criminal turned informant for the New York Police Department and the FBI. Back then, Danielle apparently went by the name of Beverly Merrill. Beverly was a coke addict and a stripper and all around bad gal.

According to the book, Beverly was arrested for extortion, kidnapping and possession. She also got caught up in the kidnapping of some rich kid who owed a drug dealer a bunch of cash. (See attached mug shot which looks ALOT like our Danielle)

Eventually, Kevin left his wife and stepson for Beverly.When Kevin told Beverly he wanted a family, she told him she wasn’t the mother type. They broke up. Kevin last saw her in 1992 when she was stipping  at a club named Shakers in Carlstadt, NJ.

Didn’t Danielle say in the first epi that she used to work through Ford Models? Did Ford do grainy mugshots back in the 80s?

“Bravo is looking for outgoing, exciting, strong, focused women who reside in and around the Beverly Hills area that want to share their lives.

“We are looking for women who are lively and energetic, with defined opinions and views. Our featured women should have busy lives, be involved with the community, have a strong work ethic, and an active social calendar.”

I bet the crazy chicks they dig up in BH are gonna put those fake baked OC girls to shame.

On the great wigged one’s blog she said that these bikini pictures were taken of her by her fans.

‘”Recently I vacationed with my two girls for the Christmas holiday’s in the Bahamas and found some photos that someone snapped of me while at the beach.” The mother-of-two continues, “Every year we stay at the gorgeous Cove Atlantis Resort and this year was a bit different because the series on Bravo was so publicized. It was fantastic meeting many of my international fans while in the Caribbean.”

Maybe by next season she’ll have that unfortunate wig thing replaced with some more human looking hair.

Maybe NeNe should have spent more time working and less time drinkin’ with her gay friend and being nasty behind the white girls back.

NeNe Leakes and her husband, Gregory Leakes, left the five-bedroom property in November after Winwood Properties filed an eviction notice. The notice, filed Sept. 24 with the Magistrate Court of Gwinnett County, said Greg Leakes owed $6,240 in past due rent. “The tenant said they would move by Sept. 14th because they could no longer afford the house,” the notice said.

NeNe Leakes, in a series of e-mails Tuesday, would not say where she is living now. “It’s none of your business,” she wrote. But she noted that they “are financial able [sic] and stable to live where ever we feel fits.”

NeNe, 41, wrote that the eviction notice does not have her name on it, adding “you don’t know my relationship with Greg so be careful what you report!”

The Duluth home, she wrote in an e-mail late last week, “was a lease purchase corporate deal with Greg & his company. Things didn’t work out between the two of them so they did what they had to do and he did what he had to do.”

On Tuesday, she wrote, “If we rent, lease purchase or buy, money is still coming out of my pocket. So who’s [sic] business is that??”

You may also recognize Alex McCord from the RH of New York and her in-denial-gay husband Simon. This picture was taken at a party for National Underwear Day (yep..that’s right) and although they wouldn’t confirm they are the new cast a camera crew followed this group around all night.

Word on the street is that these chicks all live in McMansions in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey and they are going to be exactly what you’d expect upper-middle class Jersey wives to be. Think Carmen Soprano minus the mob stuff. Bring on the big hair Bravo..we are ready after that snooze-fest in Atlanta.
