From Jill's facebook: "After our book appearance tomorrow I will be taking a social media /email break to catch up with my family and friends who I feel I have neglected for the last 2 months." I'm sure this has been planned for a long time, and has nothing to do with anything about the last couple of days. And if you believe that, I have a bridge that I would like to sell you!

Oh no, whatever will we do without her constant reminders to buy her book?

I think I'm done with Housewives all together. When these people begin to think that they can record songs or write a book or act like they're head's of state giving birth, I think it's time to remind them they're on a REALITY show and nothing more. At the end of the day, they just aren't that important.

Did Perez Hilton get it wrong also? He was the one who kept blabbing Bethenny's private life. When was Bethenny due? The baby is very small, so was it premature? Lol, when I saw, "Bryn Hoppy" in the headline of the article Alisons posted, I thought it was a Jewish saying, like Congratulations or something, lol. I like Bryn, but is "Hoppy" for a family member or something? Has Bethenny ever discused this name?

Kappy,completely agree with your sentiments. All the versions of "housewifes" have disgusted me for some time now. It is fine if you remove the word "reality". They are preforming, nothing more.

Bethenny was due June 6, so the baby was about a month early - which Ramona predicted! Hoppy is Jason's last name.

I only watch the NY version of Housewives. I watched some of the New Jersey shows last season but those people left a really nasty taste in my mouth and besides that I can't tolerate their accents YUCK! I've read that Alex and Simon and Bethenny are not part of the next season of NY Housewives, I won't watch. I really liked Alex and Simon. I have no use for LuAnn or Jill so I guess Im done with them.

Simon had said in one of his blogs that RHONY has not been picked up for a fourth season yet, so any speculation about who is on and who is not is just that - speculation.

Alisons, that is good news. I have read so many articles that Alex and Simon weren't asked back that I took it as fact.

Thanks, everyone, for filling me in. Sheesh, I'm so clueless. I'd never heard Jason's last name before. Bethenny has so much happening to hear in this pregnancy, so it's not wonder the baby came early. I'm sure saying goodbye to her father and their previous estrangement was a lot of stress, as well as all the silly fights going on with the show. Her baby was born on my husband's birthday. Umm..good luck with your 'stubborn' little beauty, Bethenny!

This season was filmed last fall. Bethenny wasn't even 3 months preggers during the last show that aired. So her father died at least six months ago.

Her father died in mid-November. http://www.popeater.com/2009/11/16/bethenny-frankels-dad-dies/ I think there's little more to the pre-term baby than a tiny, older first-time mom.

I had no idea her estranged father was so wealthy. Makes it even more sad that he ignored her so - it would have been easy to at least have an assistant send cards, etc. Something.

Earnings of $200 million doesn't mean he was wealthy. Training racehorses is horrendously expensive, and the lionshare of those earnings would have gome back into his business. He may have been a great and well-respected trainer, but that doesn't make him a good dad.

There's another article that says Bethenny's mother married his rival after B's parents split when she was four years old. There's alot to this story. http://starcasm.net/archives/41774

However, the fights have been aired in the news and on TV recently, right? Bethenny looked very pregnant on the aftershow a month ago. Jill was moaning and groaning on last week's show how she did things wrong. Alex should remind Jill that Bethenny did try to talk to her more than once, but Jill would have none of it, so Bethenny was left no choice but to send a message through Alex. Instead, Jill seems to be shifting all the blame for everything to Alex and says she's the bad person. So wrong.

Cricket exactly! On several occasions Jill has stated she wanted nothing to do with Bethenny. Wasn't Alex sent to deliver the message because Jill texted Bethenny about being careful with announcements about the baby? Why did Jill do that? I mean she is making up the rules to suit her.

Bethenny's such a skinny girl to begin with. She put on some weight in her pregnancy, but not like some women. (Skinnygirl: I used a play on words; how clever of me. Hmm, I'm tired and think I'll crawl back in bed. My kids went to school, so who'll know that I went back for more zzzs?)

Amazing how these ladies feel the need to actually tell each other how much they dislike them! There are plenty of people I am not crazy about but I am polite when I am in the same room. I generally just avoid people I don't like or rather just put my energy toward getting together with the people I do like and not thinking about the other ones at all.
