Jill Zarin Makes Acting Debut On "White Collar"

USmagazine.com:

Real Housewives of New York's Jill Zarin is ready for her close-up!


On Tuesday's episode of USA's White Collar, the 47-year-old reality star will make her acting debut in primetime, opposite series star Matt Bomer.


In the episode, titled "Veiled Threat," Zarin stars as a rich housewife who is bidding for eligible bachelors. Zarin's character comes into contact with Bomer's Neal and Tim DeKay's Peter when they go undercover as bachelors in an attempt to take down a black widow.


"It was truly a dream come true to work with the entire cast and crew of White Collar," Zarin tells Us Weekly. "Everyone made me feel very comfortable and I loved every minute of it."


And while Zarin and her RHONY costars finish out the Bravo reality hit's fourth season this summer, Zarin tells Us she could very well end up making the switch to scripted TV.


"I have caught the acting bug and would love to come back for another guest spot!" says the reality star. "It would be amazing to work again with such a gifted and talented cast and crew."


Jill Zarin's cameo on White Collar airs Tuesday at 9 p.m. (EST) on USA.

Sonja Morgan May Lose $6 Million Home

NYPost.com:

Forget catty co-stars -- this "Real Housewife of New York City" says she's getting screwed by her wealthy ex-husband.


Sonja Morgan -- the saucy blond socialite who spices up the Bravo network's Big Apple franchise -- told The Post that her life has been "in limbo" because of her lingering, "bitter" Connecticut divorce case with her millionaire 80-year-old ex, John Adams Morgan, who she at least partly blames for her bankruptcy woes.


"I'm sure the world thinks, 'Sonja doesn't have to worry, she's got that husband there for her.' But I'm on my own," said Morgan, 47.


Morgan reveals in court papers that Adams Morgan, a descendant of famed financier J.P. Morgan and former US President John Adams, is refusing to pay her a $3 million lump-sum divorce judgment along with $300,000 in back alimony.


Morgan also claims in the papers -- detailed here for the first time -- that while her ex lives on his private, $19 million island off Stamford, Conn., he has effectively barred her from selling or even visiting luxurious properties she co-owns with him in Colorado and France.


Morgan says the mess may force her to sell her $6 million Upper East Side town house.


She was forced to seek Chapter 11 protection in New York federal bankruptcy court last fall.

Kandi Burruss And Nene Leakes Dish On The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 4

RealityTea.com:

While the Real Housewives of Atlanta continue to film their fourth season, Nene Leakes and Kandi Burruss hit up Atlanta’s V103 radio station and dished on what is to come!


For starters, Kandi revealed she is done making music with Kim Zolciak. “I only did those two songs. We’re not doing anymore,” said Kandi of working on Kim’s “music career.” Kandi also added that Kim has still yet to pay her a producer’s fee for the first song they did together aka Tardy For The Party. Kandi however claims she is oh so over it. Here’s to hoping that issue will NOT be revisited again on season 4.


Moving on to the Nene who didn’t talk about Kim, but revealed her divorce to husband Gregg Leakes will play out on the show. She also promised viewers will get to see what caused their separation on the upcoming season. Season 4 is expected to premiere this fall.


Meanwhile, it now appears new housewife Marlo Hampton and Nene have become BFFs after Bravo reportedly cast Marlo to stir up some drama with the Nene. See Marlo is engaged to NFL player Charles Grant, who is rumored to have had a fling with the Nene a year ago.


In fact the two ladies have been tweeting to each other quite regularly as well as hanging out. “Having sooooooooo much wit my girls @iheartmarlo @CynthiaBailey10,” tweeeted Nene last Wednesday along with a picture of the trio which is posted below. The ladies hung out again the next day to which Marlo tweeted, “@NeNeLeakes had so much fun girl.”

Sonja Morgan Wants to Be Like Bethenny Frankel

Popeater.com:

Finding herself having to file for bankruptcy, 'Real Housewife' Sonja Morgan is looking to ex-housewife Bethenny Frankel for business advice.


"I'll be like Bethenny. I'll do the deals first, then the baby, then get married," Sonja told me when she sat down with me on the set of my HDNet talk show 'Naughty But Nice.' "Bethenny is funny as hell. I enjoyed my time with her. I'm going to be on E! Hollywood Story for Bethenny. She's one smart cookie, and I'm following right behind her."


Sonja has already started her own cookbook, just like Bethenny, except focusing on toaster ovens rather than being Skinny. "I have my toaster oven deal coming up, and my toaster oven accessories, and my aprons and my mitts," Sonja tells me. No joke.


"That's the reason to go on one of these shows, it's to show your tips and secrets, and to share your experiences that you have. I feel like I have lots of lifestyle tips to give, lots of beauty tips to give, lots of family secrets to share, and that's the reason to be on a show. NOT to bicker and fight. People want to learn how to grow a garden, how to pick up a man, how to cook, how to make great green juice, how to make your skin beautiful. Where to get a good pinot grigio."


Sonja divorced wealthy businessman John Adams Morgan, great-great grandson of the American Gilded Age financier John Pierpont Morgan (aka J.P. on the street) and described her marriage as a merger. "I had all the friends and family to bring to the picture, and my husband had all the yachts and the private islands. It was perfect."

Real Housewives of Atlanta Attend the Opening of Peter Thomas’ New Lounge

RealityTea.com:

The Real Housewives of Atlanta stepped out this week to support Cynthia Bailey and her husband Peter Thomas, who alongside Robert “RL” Thomas of the R&B group Next, held a party in celebration of the opening of their new lounge BarOne in Atlanta.


If you recall, Peter, who was found not guilty this week of assaulting a former female employee, shut down his previous lounge/restaurant Uptown last year when it stopped doing well. No word yet on whether or not Cynthia also invested in this latest venture of Peter’s. And speaking of Cynthia, she recently opened up her own modeling agency called The Bailey Agency.


Metromix.com snapped photos at the event which was hosted by the one and only Nene Leakes.

Melissa Gorga: Bisexual?!?

Well, this is news:

“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star MELISSA GORGA has a shocking gay secret!


A woman has come forward to allege that Gorga was in­volved in a steamy lesbian romance for more than a year when she was a teenager, The ENQUIRER reports exclusively.


A Florida woman claims that the reality show’s newest member once had a sizzling love affair with her and led a hell-raising life nothing like her squeaky-clean motherly image.


“Melissa had one of the most insatiable sexual appetites I’d ever found in a woman,” declared her alleged former girlfriend JAMIE BAUER in an exclu­sive ENQUIRER interview.


“This domesticated family woman that fans see on ‘Bravo’ is definitely NOT the same wild child I used to share a bed with when we were younger.”

Nene Leakes Somehow Has Anderson Cooper’s Cell Phone Number

Plus, Anderson's apparently a big 'Housewives' fan. I have no idea why he was ashamed to admit till now:

Now that he’ll be a real live daytime talk show host, Anderson Cooper is really turning on the charm. Guess what? We don’t hate it. He’s a little bit of Andy Cohen mixed with a stern newsreader. Hooray!


At the entertainment marketing PromaxBDA Conference in New York City yesterday, Cooper confessed that he’s a huge reality tv fan. Hoarders, Cheaters, The Real Housewives…you name the smutty show, Cooper’s probably a fan. He told The Early Show‘s co-anchor Erica Hill, “For years, in news, I’ve been ashamed to admit that I watch The [Real] Housewives. Or at least I haven’t really talked about it. But now that I’m in daytime TV I can fully reveal how much I like the Housewives.”


True story: Cooper revealed that The Real Housewives Of Atlanta‘s Nene Leakes accidentally drunk-dialed the Anderson 360 host during a commercial break. Leakes was in a limo somewhere, drunk as a skunk and singing “Tardy For The Party,” before Kim Zolciak even recorded the putrid track. Classic Nene.

Camille Grammer: ‘It's Been One Year Today I Filed For Divorce, I Feel Liberated!’

Luann de Lesseps Is 'So Glad' Bethenny Left 'Housewives'

OMGYahoo.com:

Countess Luann de Lesseps is not shedding any tears over Bethenny Frankel.


"I'm so glad she's gone," she tells The Famous. "Oh, yeah. Let her go off with her husband, off into the sunset. God bless her."


Countess says filming Bravo's "Real Housewives of New York" without Frankel is easier on the cast -- especially Kelly Bensimon, whose sometimes bizarre behavior was endlessly mocked by the outspoken Skinnygirl entrepreneur.


"Kelly's been amazing this season, and I think you see the true Kelly," she says. "She got a really bad rap last season. Because, you know, it's hard to battle against Bethenny."


Frankel, a fan favorite and frequent voice of reason on the show, dropped out last year to star in her own spinoff, "Bethenny Ever After." Sans Frankel's spunk, the new season of "RHONY" is no less dramatic: Countess and Alex McCord constantly clash; McCord calls Countess "haughty," "condescending" and "vile" toward the cast.


"People do say that -- and I guess I can come off that way -- but it's not ill meaning or anything like that," says Countess, who calls McCord a "weirdo." "I guess it's just a different way of looking at it, and I'm not going to apologize for the way I am."

Yeah, it's Bethenny's fault Kelly has got such a bad rap, not Kelly's own weird, stupid, bizarre and criminal behavior when Bethenney was nowhere around. It's funny how Team Jill goes out of their way to try and make Kelly look sane, but each lame attempt just doesn't work on the rest of the country who sees Kelly for who she is: crazy. Anyway, if LuAnn thought being a total bitch this season would get her more attention it certainly worked.
