Interesting article here. http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/04/real_housewives_of_new_york_ci_2.html I've been wondering exactly what form of cancer Bobby had because many cancers are treatable while some sadly are much less likely to yield a good result for the patient. This article is a satire of the journalist quips ( I agree with all of them lol ) and it mentions Bobby's type of cancer.

Ok, I understand the email to be more about guilting someone, so when Kelly said threat I got confused... thanks all Really I think that if they wanted to really work it out it would be better for them to do it in private, without any camera's or castmembers with them.

ITA Misty but honestly I don't see how Bethenney could do that as Jill was completely unresponsive to any dialogue. The woman wanted drama and now she's got it, all negative and what a shame. Jill was so well liked. WAS!!!!!

After reading Simon's blog, I completely believe it was Jill behind the Daily News article. Remember the Cindy Adams blow-up at the beginning of last season? And it sure sounds like she's behind the "insider" rumors that Simon and Alex wouldn't be asked back for Season 4, because Alex was "picking fights" with everyone. Who is the only person Alex has "picked a fight" with? Would that possibly be Jill?

http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2008/06/real_housewife_jill_zarin_simo.html It was in the first episode of last season, when Jill and Bethenny were in the Hamptons. Jill ended up calling Alex and Simon to try to "explain."

I thought the rumor was that Simon and Alex were dropped because Simon was to demanding and acting like a diva to the production crew. Shenanagon, I think the thing from last season was a story about how drunk Simon would get whenever he went out to any parties. Hopefully, someone else can remember better.

I remember that article Prisoner. My memory is a little futzy and snarly - didn't Jill make a comment about Simon drinking or something like that?

Okay, Grooch is all up inside my head and confirmed that it was about Simon's drinking.

When you go to Prisoner's link, click on the link to the Cindy Adam's link. A lot more info in that one. Wow! I didn't realize Jill felt that way about Alex and refuses to have anything to do with her. Now that article is from 2008, I wonder if anything has changed. These people need to get a life. (And so do I. lol!)

Wow thanks for that link about the 2008 article. Yanno I can't believe I missed all this stuff about Jill. Now that all the proverbial shyt is hitting the fan regarding her I'm wondering why I didn't see it before. Jill is a Snob to the core and proud of it. She has been talked about as being very connected and I guess it's really gone to her head. So much so she openly toots her own horn with that terse smile on her face. I really hope that she's getting the feedback on her attitude that she deserves. When she was talking to Kelly about being too picky etc I got this feeling that she's the type that doesn't marry for love but status. I'd love to read a blog from Bobby and get his take on his wife's attitude.

Here's the original article from the NY Daily News about Alex and Simon. To quote Bethenny, this has Jill's fingerprints all over it. New York Daily News

Found this article after reading yours Prisonerno6. I apologize for pasting it here. Sorry I couldn't transfer the link. Now I'm like Sherlock Holmes searching for more. I need a hobby lol. Meow! Ramona Singer threw a premiere party for the new season of "Real Housewives of New York City" on Wednesday night - but some of her castmates and "friends" were noticeably absent. Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon and LuAnn de Lesseps were nowhere to be seen at Tenjune, although Bethenny Frankel, Alex McCord and Sonja Morgan celebrated with Singer. The reason? "There's a clear split between the cast, and you can definitely see it by who decided to attend Ramona's party," says a source. There's a little competition going on, too: The insider says de Lesseps is throwing her very own bash when the Bravo show premieres next Thursday. "Since LuAnn is having her own party, she felt there was no reason to attend," the snitch says. "But that is a little surprising, considering Andy Cohen and a number of other Bravo honchos were all at Ramona's party. Everyone was expecting her, Jill and Kelly to at least stop by." While Singer tried to save face and enjoy her fete, there was one other housewife who couldn't mask her sour feelings about the rifts between the ladies: Newest addition Jennifer Gilbert was overheard whining that despite helping de Lesseps book Chelsea venue La Pomme for her premiere party next week, she didn't even get invited. Worse still, Gilbert's not even sure about the gal who did put her on the guest list. "As for Ramona," she was later overheard sighing, "I think she just hates me." At least she has a sense of humor about being on the outs with the in-crowd. Gilbert was also heard laughing to some non-Housewife guests, "Am I going to get voted off the island?"

ages of the housewives. I'd never have guessed this order. Ramona is 54 I put 55 in error. Jill is 46 Luann is 44 Kelly is 41 Bethenney is 39 Alexi is 36 I think I got this right. But wow and wtg Ramona now I'm very interested in her skin care!! I think Ramona's skin looks amazing compared to how much older she is than the others.

I think Ramona had some work done between last season and this. Her eyebrows just seem to be a wee bit higher than before. Which only accentuates the "crazy eyes" look she has.

You bad Costa lol. Did you think she was 54 though? Or even that she was the oldest by so many years? That's what surprised me the most. I had Luann and Alex older, not by much but I thought they both were older or as old as Ramona.

Looks like Teresa from RHONJ chimed in with her opinion. She's now on Team Bethenny. To think, if Luann wasn't there that day, the entire thing may have turned out differently. Jill played it up big time, and now she's crashing and burning. Here's Teresa's article: http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/TV/04/02/teresa.talks.bethenny.jill.ppl/

Ooh, I meant to mention that a while ago, but forgot to! He was called "Jill's EX gay husband" during one of the shows. Can't remember who said it though.

I was saddened by how Jill acted on the show this week, esp. with Luann sitting there. I wasn't necessarily on Bethenny's side in this fight at the beginning, but I'm getting there. She is trying to mend fences and understand the actual problem, while Jill seems to be done with Bethenny and enjoying being nasty to her. In the preview for next week where Jill says she just can't have toxic people/situations in her life, I wanted to ask why she hangs with Luann. There's toxic right there. As far as Bethenny thinking that guy Perez got info from Jill, she should realize he prints what he wants from gossip; not necessarily from someone close to the person being printed about. Even though I don't like Jill as much as I did, I don't think she has anything to do with Alex/Simon leaving the show. The one line in the article said it all: "Viewers don't have a positive reaction to them, so they're easily replaceable at this point," I've certainly never liked them. I was wondering, though, why Alex was getting in people's face more this season. Perhaps it's a bid to stay on the show. Again, I don't understand why Simon had to show up at an all-women's event. If they really wanted to stay on the show, perhaps he should act like a husband and not one of the housewives. It was funny, though, seeing Ramona jump up and hug him when he showed up to the meeting where they were picking out fashions. What a difference a year makes, eh? Bethenny's cracked me up when she was describing her surprise.

I'm watching an episode right now and everyone is so snipy with each other, dang. It's the one where Jill has the shopping event at Sak's. Wow, just wow. Think I'm done with this show.
