Jill Zarin Blames Daughter For Bethenny Baby Blooper
The drama never seems to stop between Bethenny Frankel and Jill Zarin.
The latest over there in the land of the Real Housewives of New York City?
Zarin forgot to think before she twittered…
On Friday, the Internet was buzzing that Frankel had a baby boy after Zarin twittered a big congratulations to her former BFF on the birth of her and hottie hubby Jason Hoppy's son.
Problem is, Frankel hadn't given birth yet and when she did, on Saturday morning, their bundle of joy was a…girl!
Team Bethenny went ballistic, attacking Zarin for trying to steal Frankel's "thunder."
Zarin blamed her daughter for the big oops, explaining on Twitter that she "read a tweet and blog that Bethenny gave birth. We were excited and congratulated her. Obviously what I heard on the news and online was wrong."
Zarin has deleted the original congratulatory tweet from her Twitter page.
Damn, Jill's just been awful this season.

Bethenny Frankel Is In Labor!
Let's hope all goes well with the pregnancy and she has a healthy baby.Oh, baby! Real Housewife of New York City Bethenny Frankel is in labor, a source tells Life & Style.
“Her water broke at 12:46 a.m. She’s at the hospital now,” says a friend close to the reality star, who recently married entrepreneur Jason Hoppy.
Bethenny and baby are running a little ahead of schedule, as the mama-to-be’s due date was set for early June.
“I was at an age when I said, ‘You know what, if I get pregnant it will be a blessing,’” Bethenny told Life & Style at her bridal shower on March 21.
Bethenny and Jason tied the knot at the Four Seasons in NYC on March 28. The couple plan to be surprised with the sex of their newest addition, though Bethenny has her fingers crossed for a girl.
“I hope the way I’m carrying doesn’t mean I’m having a boy,” Bethenny told Life & Style.

Dina Manzo Got A Breast Reduction
Dina's a stunner no matter what size her boobs are.Dina Manzo, star of The Real Housewives of NewJersey , has gotten a breast reduction. Yes in a world where bigger boobs are popping up on celebrities right and left, Manzo has gone in the other direction.
According to the newest issue of Life & Style Weekly Dina recently underwent a breast reduction after suffering some serious back pain over the last 10 years because of her first boob job back in 2000. In fact this is actually her second breast reduction since getting implants. Apparently the first was a mere weeks after the boob job. Dina went from a 32DD to a 32C and I have to say she looks way better to me.
Manzo was born and raised in TheGarden Sate of NJ so it is only fitting that she ended up on the reality TV show that focuses on the lives of women from the state she loves. She currently resides in Franklin Lakes, NJ. Dina has a beautiful teenage daughter Lexi with her ex-husband and is currently married to Tommy Manzo, who co-owns the event and catering facility The Brownstone, which is fancy place for events in NJ. The couple has been married since 2006. Their wedding was actually featured on that god awful show onVH1 called My Big Fat Obnoxious Wedding.
When she is not devoting her time to her family or the show Dina spends time at the non-profit organization Project Ladybug, which she founded. Project Ladybug is focused on helping children with cancer. Along with her non-profit work, Dina also owns and is a designer for the company Designer Affair which is an event planning company. Wow reality TV star, wife, mother and business woman, no wonder she is such a control freak who wants things done her way.
Well the Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dina Manzo may look different, you can see the before and after shots here but if the seasonpremiere is any indication she hasn’t changed a bit, which is good for us fans.

Jill Zarin Caught Anonymously Boosting Her New Book On Amazon
A couple weeks ago, an Amazon reviewer named Alana Chandler—the No. 1 reviewer, according to Amazon, of new books on the site—left a one-star review for Secrets of a Jewish Mother, the new book by Real Housewives of New York City cast member Jill Zarin. "I wanted to find this warm and loving but it seemed more like a doctrine in many cases that isn't loving and could be detrimental on several levels," Chandler wrote in her 1,500-word-plus review. "Not to mention it's been widely reported that it's for show rather than actual advice the authors themselves believe."Zarin asked me to leave a review for her book when I interviewed her for The Daily Beast a few weeks ago, just before it came out.
Three days after Chandler's review went up, an Amazon user named “Susan Saunders” left a comment on the review. Saunders wrote that Chandler was "a jealous person who likes to gang up on people." She continued: "I feel sorry for you but more for your cat." (Chandler's reviewer photo shows her with her dog.) "Someone needs to take your cat away from you and give it to a loving person. Jealous of Jill? You are just making her more famous and people are buying her book because it is a GREAT book about Jewish Mother's [sic]. You are ANTISEMITIC and it shows."
Saunders quickly deleted her comment, but not before someone took a screenshot and sent it to Zap2It.Why so shy all of a sudden? Because other Amazon reviewers quickly figured out that "Saunders" was actually Zarin. It didn’t take much: The Amazon wish list for "Saunders" had items listed on it for Zarin’s husband Bobby and her daughter Ally. And Saunders also had the same birthday as Jill. From there, the review thread got ugly, with commenters accusing her of a range of crimes, from a lack of Internet savviness to being “pathetic.”
When contacted by The Daily Beast, Chandler said that "Saunders" had sent her a "threatening email" after her review went up. "It was her follow-up to the Susan Saunders threat to me on Amazon," said Chandler.
Zarin didn't respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast, though she wrote a non-denial denial on her Facebook page: "Some crazy fans are saying I wrote my own review. I love the book, of course. People in my life have written wonderful things about the book. Some fans of the show need to find something else to do then write hateful things about me and my family. It is sad and I feel sorry for them. If you read the book and liked it, ...please write positive reviews. Thank you for all the support!"
Well, this season we've certainly seen a new side to Jill Zarin, after all only a "mean girl" would get all their panties all in a bunch going after someone who didn't like their book. Alana Chandler can only hope that Jill doesn't get her blacklisted from reviewing any more books in the future on Amazon.
New RHNY Jennifer Gilbert Interview
Zap2It.com:
Did you blink and miss the newest New York housewife? You're not alone!Damn, I didn't notice her either.
Yes, "Real Housewives of New York" fans, the newest housewife Jennifer Gilbert made her debut last night, Thursday, April 29. She was the event planner that Jill hired for her holiday party.
Poor thing. When Sonja Morgan debuted in the last episode, the Red Sea parted, angels sang and Bravo inserted a segment introducing her. Jennifer? She didn't even get one of those title cards where she gets to pose while her family stands in the far background.
So, who's Jennifer Gilbert? She recently spoke to IVillage.com and our pals at LATimes.com. Here's what we gleaned:
* She has been married for seven years and she has three kids: A five-year-old daughter name Blaise and two-year-old twin sons Saxton and Grey.
* She owns Save the Date, an event planning company, and she's co-owner of Portamee, a baby-carrier producer.
* Now 41, Ernst & Young named her entrepreneur of the year when she was 29 years old.
* She had no relationship to any of the other housewives before Jill hired her to plan her holiday party.
* She's over the Bethenny - Jill feud and claims she doesn't belong to either team.
We fully expect the show to roll out the red carpet for her soon.
