Bethenny Frankel engaged

The Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel might finally be able to officially call herself a housewife after word just came out that her and her 8-month boyfriend Jason Hoppy are engaged...well, kinda. Jason gave Bethenny a diamond ring, and Beth's rep confirmed that they are in love with each other and plan on getting married, so the ring Jason gave is being considered the starter/promise ring. Beth backs up what her rep said.

I'm in love. I'm pretty much certain I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him... I'm really happy.

Well, congrats goes out to Beth and Jason, but...a promise ring? Are you f*cking kidding me? I thought loser high school kids that think they met their future husband/wife when they get in their first relationships bought promise rings for each other, not people in their late 30s/early 40s. Geeks.

Real Housewives of New York cast getting big money

The ladies of the Real Housewives of New York are getting a pretty penny for the third season of the hit Bravo show. All 5 leading ladies are going to make upwards of $30,000 per episode, which will totally give them bragging rights over their hubbies, who will receive NOTHING for appearances.

I've flipped through the channels and caught parts of this show a couple times and I gotta say -- there's nothing like seeing a group of spoiled broads fight. Makes for some sa-weet and hilarious entertainment. Snobby, but hilarious.

Bethenny Frankel speaks on other reality TV shows

Bethenny Frankel obviously knows about reality TV since she stars in one of the biggest shows on Bravo right now, Real Housewives of New York City. She sat down with our friends at PopEater to chat about her thoughts on other reality shows out there and how she thinks she'd do on them.

I can't wait for [Real Housewives of] New Jersey. I think it will be the best of all of it. I think it will be White-Lanta. I will definitely be blogging on it. I think it's going to be really great and honest ... I think Bravo is smart, they know how to pick crazy people and put them with other crazy people and make it entertaining. I think that on Top Chef, I would maybe make it half-way through … I don't know how to filet an entire fish, I'm allergic to fish. I don't have the most amazing knife skills. Frankly, I don't know that Rachael Ray would get halfway through. I think that those are really serious culinary chefs. That bar has been raised on that show. I think I would do well ... I'm very competitive ... but there are things that they know that I don't know. I’m always flabbergasted by how talented the chefs are there ... I could say I'd go far on Dancing With the Stars. I think I would go farther on Dancing With the Stars than I would on Top Chef and I'm not even a dancer by any stretch of the imagination. On the Celebrity Apprentice, I think I would win.

She also forgot to mention she'd win a Most Humble Person contest, too.

2 "Real Housewives of New York City" cast members get slashed

See, that title is what we call a "teaser," because it sucks you into the story and makes you want to read it. It's a little misleading -- two cast members have been cut, but not people. More like, what's ON a cast member. Jill Zarin ended up getting a breast reduction surgery recently, cutting her G-cups down to...well, something smaller. She said she feels 20 pounds lighter. Bravo and Jill were trying to keep it a secret so they could reveal it on the next season of Real Housewives of New York, but the secret slipped out.

I really need to do more studying of boobs, because I thought the biggest you could go were Double-D's. Guess I was wayyyyy off. Although, I can't imagine walking around with G-spots...umm...I mean G-cups.

Real Housewife of New York gets dumped through e-mail!

Think of one of the worst ways to get dumped by someone. Right after sex so you feel used? In front of a room of your family and best friends so you feel embarrassed? How about through e-mail so it seems like the person just doesn't give a shizz? That's what happened to Countess Luann de Lesseps from The Real Housewives of New York. Her hubby, Count de Lesseps, ended up e-mailing her to tell her he was cheating on her and it was getting serious. A friend of the Countess gives some details.

They decided to separate. She got wind he was seeing somebody and he didn't answer her when she called. He finally sent her an e-mail saying he was with an Ethiopian woman in Geneva and he was serious with her. Luann was blindsided. She was just devastated. They have basically lived apart for many years -- he lives in Europe and comes and goes as he pleases, but she never thought this would happen. It has been very rough for her and the children [Victoria and Noel], but she's taking the high road and will remain friends with him. She has no intention of making it bitter or becoming angry. She's just trying to come to terms with [the separation and impending divorce]. She feels this is the ultimate test for her to handle this with dignity and grace.

Yeah. F*ck that noise, man. If some chick cheated on me, she could kiss my ass. I'd be civil with her in front of our kids, but then when little Hunter Patrick goes to sleep at night, I'd go egg the sh*t out of her house. Hey, I play dirty.
