THERE’S LESS OF MILLIONAIRE MATCHMAKER PATTI STANGER THIS SEASON

Judging by this photo, Patti Stanger has slimmed down and is in top shape for the new season of “Millionaire Matchmaker.” The last time she was this slim, she was preparing for her “wedding” which many people believe was a set-up to give her credibility as a matchmaker. Patti and her “fiancee” split before the big event. Her success rate is debatable, but the sometimes abrasive Patti claims she takes in from $25,000 to $150,000 from billionaires seeking suitable mates, so maybe SHE has the last laugh.

WHY CHAD ROGERS LEFT “MILLION DOLLAR LISTING” IS STILL A MYSTERY

Chad Rogers’ departure from “Million Dollar Listing” remains something of a mystery – but his lawyer is hell-bent on controlling everything that’s written about it. Reporter Rob Owen at the Pittsburgh Post – Gazette quoted Bravo’s president as saying that Chad’s departure was a “mutual” decision. Chad’s lawyer went nuts and sent a threatening letter to Owen accusing him of false allegations and insisted that it was solely Chad’s decision to leave the series – Bravo wanted him to stay. Touchy. Touchy. Chad says since his name became “internationally recognized” he is far too busy with his real estate. The somewhat narcissistic realtor remarked “I wish I could clone myself so I could do everything, but there is only one Chad Rogers.” (He refers to himself in the third person?) We will miss him because it was so much fun speculating about his sexual preference. (He and his TV girlfriend have since broken up.) Hopefully, we will eventually run into talkative Bravo VP Andy Cohen and get more details.

“LAUNCH MY LINE” – MAY THE BEST DESIGNER PREVAIL

launchmylinecutMerle Ginsberg and Patrick McDonald are currently in friendly competition on the Bravo show “Launch My Line.” We want them BOTH to win! Merle is the best dressed fashion journalist we’ve ever encountered (If it’s HOT – she’s gotta have it!) She knows everything about designers and trends. Patrick has always been outrageously creative and brave in his fashion selections. Despite his imposing appearance, he’s a delightful personality. We’ve tried every trick in the book to get them both to leak who wins on the show – they’re SWORN to secrecy
