The Real Housewives of New York City

WE TOLD YA SO!

Well we told ya so. Back in April we reported that Rebecca Minkoff was joining The Real Housewives of New York as a friend of the show and that she didn’t want to discuss her involvement in Scientology. We reported that although the producers asked the other cast members not to bring up the controversial cult, behind closed doors they expected the topic to be addressed once the drinking started. Well, our source was spot on, since although this season hasn’t even premiered yet, the trailer for the upcoming series shows a housewife bringing up Scientology. See link below. My source adds that producers are THRILLED and expect it to be a storyline for much of the season if not beyond.

REBECCA MINKOFF HAS A SECRET

Before fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff agreed to join the upcoming season of Real Housewives of New York in the capacity as a friend, she had one demand – her involvement in Scientology is completely off limits unless SHE brings it up first. My Bravo source reveals that producers were eager to get Rebecca on the show so they agreed to the demand, but they have already told her if she brings it up then NOTHING is off-limits. Her RHONY cast mates have already been instructed not to mention Scientology, but once the drinking starts, who knows what will happen. The Housewives will no doubt have PLENTY to say on the subject- especially since a photo of Rebecca and convicted rapist (and fellow Scientologist) Danny Masterson, who is now in prison, popped up on Page Six!

She’s neither married or even engaged, but Lourdes Leon is being wooed to join The Real Housewives of New York. Despite a recent cast overhaul, the once popular show isn’t pulling in the ratings it once did. The powers that be, including Bravo’s own Andy Cohen, feel what’s lacking is some STAR POWER. While Lourdes isn’t actually A-list, her mom is MADONNA! The hope is that Madonna will make appearances if Lourdes is cast. A authoritative source reveals that former RHONY star, Luann de Lesseps, is coaching Lourdes for her upcoming screen test…

CALORIE CONSCIOUS BETHANY FRANKEL: HOW MUCH DO THOSE IMPLANTS WEIGH?

All this time we thought “Real Housewives of New York” star Bethany Frankel had a rockin’ body, but apparently we never saw her in a low cut dress. Yikes. Those cockeyed implants are very distracting. Bethany is promoting her low calorie “Skinny Girl Margarita” at the Montauk Yacht Club. Maybe she went to the same plastic surgeon as Tori Spelling.
