'Real Housewives of NYC' premiere party: Which housewives were no-shows?
Bravo threw a party for "The Real Housewives of New York City" Season 3 premiere last night (Thu. March 4). While it seemed the champagne was flowing and the gals were having a great time, a couple housewives were noticeably absent and we're not just talking "tardy to the party."Sonja Morgan and Jennifer Gilbert, the two new housewives announced last October, were there and having a blast. After the announcement, rumors spread that two other housewives were leaving the show. Bethenny Frankel, for one, denied she was leaving back then. And there was chatter last month that Alex McCord was in danger of getting the boot.
Do these pictures tell the whole story?

Look at Kelly Killoren Bensimon making sure LuAnn's man, Jacques Azoulay, notices her, um, good posture!

Hmm, it's just not like Bethenny and (especially) Alex to miss a party.

Why is Alex missing from these photos?I hope she's not leaving.I'm sure Bethenny will be as she seems to be too busy to even care.I see two more housewives and that would be seven if B leaves.That's too many.Even six is too many.The others have 5, why does NYC have so many?If Alex goes then Simon goes and that wqwould be boring.What's going on?
Well maybe the new wives are a couple? They look cozy in the photo above and the one has her hand in an oddly low position for two strangers...makes sense why there are two new ladies, no?
i think bravo should do a show about normal housewifes. that are not rich. and have a show called desperate house wifes of south carolina. how we all suffer
Won't watch anymore if Bethanny is gone like Countess, Jill and even Akex but the rest I can live with out! To bad sounds like you ruined my guilty pleasure the only Housewives I watched!
I think Kelly should go. She is phoney and not trustworthy. She needs to go. She ruins the whole show.
its getting old. I am no longer going to watch if Bethenny and Alex no longer do the show. They are the drama, good luck Housewives Ill still watch Jersey and Atlanta
I am glad that Bethenny is going to leave the show. I am so sick of that loud mouth, know it all. She is petty and when Luann took her task in the opening about saying things behind people's back, it was SO true! Her jealousy of Kelly is apparent and she kicked Jill to the curb. She has used this show to promote her books and other products, maybe she should focus on building her brand.
Kelly needs to go--she's a real flake! I won't watch Housewives if Bethanny leaves the show.
no show without Bethenny & alex - get rid of kelly or jill
Without Bethenny, no show. How boring Kelly, LuAnn, ahhhhhhh. Jill is going to be lost in this nonsense group. What kind of dialog they will have. Bethenny should have her own show, called "Bethenny and friends". We will like to see her as a wife and mother.
