Nobody involved in this story does anything of worth, and nothing they say actually qualifies as news, but it annoyed the hell out of me so I’m gonna make damn sure it annoys the hell out of you. Skinny aging reality docu-soap star Rachel Zoe and skinny aging reality TV/docu-soap star Bethenny Frankel are having a beef on Twitter, y’all. Oh but wait: it gets much more annoying and pointless than that. [sic] it away, ladies:
Frankel seems to have started the nasty Twitter battle with the snarky remark: “Is wondering if I’m the only one who can’t get over the self-important nonsense that is rachel zoe.”
Not to be outdone, Rachel Zoe shot back with her own Twitter slam, “wow talk abt no class bn friends 4yrs rude.”
The Twitter war continued to escalate from there, with Frankel posting: “Is dying over this show.if I stick on a lampshade with a moo moo and a pair of bananas hoop earrings,rz may just D I E.what a bunch of BS!”
Naturally, Rachel Zoe can’t keep her mouth shut, posting: “she is inappropriate and clearly desperate for some attention… unclear y Bethanny [sic] has declared war..never bn anything but kind 2 her & clearly she enjoys being vicious as they say..obvi she was nevr my friend.”
Just to be clear, Rachel Zoe graduated from college in 1993, so she’s about 38 years old. Frankel turns 39 in two months. They went to George Washington and NYU, respectively. And they both write like 14-year-old girls. And not the precocious honor student types. The ones with MySpace pages. And Down Syndrome.
Unmarried Real Housewife of New York City Bethenny Frankel has reportedly been given her own reality show on Bravo, according to a report by Page Six. (In case you don’t keep track of which housewife is which, Bethenny’s the one who looks like Skeletor’s sexy daughter.)
Frankel is saying bye-bye to “Real Housewives of New York City” and hello to her own reality show. The spunky star’s new show on Bravo this fall will be called “Skinny & The City.” Our tipster said, “The show will follow her planning her wedding to [fiancé] Jason Hoppy.” Life & Style also reports Frankel is penning a second book about “romance, money and friends” inspired by her feud with co-star Kelly Killoren Bensimon. Bravo had “no comment.”
Ugh. File me under the growing camp of people against reality TV “stars” getting their own spin-off series. Lookin’ at you, everything on VH1.
Also pictured here are Maria Menounos, Debi Mazar, and Catherine Bell, because they’re better-looking than the Real Housewives of Pretty Much Anywhere. Oh, and Jenna Elfman, too. She, uh, she’s… there.
Kelly Killoren Bensimon, the unmarried “housewife” who was added to this season’s cast of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” has continued her assault on castmate Bethenny Frankel, who is also unmarried, in case you were wondering if the name of the show is in any way accurate.
Bensimon, who last month was arrested for assaulting her boyfriend, opened up to Harper’s Bazaar, where she smoothed over some of her perceived rough edges. Nah just kidding. She was a total bitch.
On her response to costar, Bethenny Frankel calling her “inauthentic”:
“Is Bethenny a socialite? No. Will she ever sit next to Lauren duPont? No. Is she best friends with Aerin Lauder? No. Am I? No. Do I care? No. Does she? Oh, absolutely. She’s not authentic. All she does is sit there and cry all the time. I’m like, you’re crying about guys? And shut up. Honestly, if being inauthentic means graduating from Columbia University, writing three books, starting two magazines, bearing two children, being the ambassador for wool, running a marathon for charity — if that’s inauthentic? Tell me what authentic is.”On why she agreed to “Real Housewives of New York”:
“I wanted to put my name up there. I was like, it’s not enough for New York to know me. I wanted the rest of America to know me. I have a great life. I have a lot of fun.”
Wow, what an amazing person. And to think I wouldn’t have known how great she is if she hadn’t told me. That was so nice of her. We should really do something for her in return. Like bury her in wet cement and drop her into the East River.
