LuAnn Keynote Speaker At NYU Nursing School
Countess LuAnn de Lesseps was the keynote speaker at the NYU College of Nursing graduation today and she credited her nursing degree to the success she achieved as a model.
“I worked part time as a nurse when I was scouted to model, and I am convinced I got many of my jobs because I was not just a waitress,’ LuAnn told Radar Online after her speech.
“Think about it, the people hiring would rather go on the plane to Aspen with a nurse than with someone who was just waiting tables.”
Known for her role on the hit show, the Real Housewives of New York, the Countess said she found her love of nursing when she was a teenager.
“I worked in a home for the elderly when I was only 14 years old, my job was to wash dishes in the back but I would chat with everyone there and I just fell in love with the elderly.”

LuAnn On Disappointments, Swimsuit Season
When it comes to etiquette, manners and overall good behavior, even celebrities need help navigating the rough waters of stardom! It’s a good thing Countess LuAnn de Lesseps of the Real Housewives of New York is joining forces with OK! to school them on the right thing to do! In a rough situation, we just ask, “What Would the Countess Do?” This week the Countess discusses a royal diss and firming up for summer.Sarah Ferguson wasn’t invited to the royal wedding — although her daughters with Prince Andrew were there — and she told Oprah the slight upset her. How would you deal with such a public disappointment?
Sarah Ferguson’s disappointment at being excluded from the Royal Wedding was understandable since she remains close to her ex and I’m sure she would have loved to be with her daughters on such a special occasion. Maybe sharing her feelings with Oprah helped her move past the royal snubbing? I guess the royal family has trouble forgiving and forgetting.

Tip: Avoid the spotlight when dealing with disappointment.
Do you have any tips for ladies trying to firm up to look their summer bikini best? How do you handle shopping for swimsuits — probably one of women’s most dreaded shopping trips?
With summer right around the corner, the best way to get your body bikini ready is to combine cardio and toning exercises like running or walking and Pilates or yoga. Also, eating lean meats, fruits and vegetables and limiting carbohydrates is key if you are going to lose fat and build muscle. Since we all are built differently, one bikini does not fit all. I suggest that you consider your body shape and age when choosing a swimsuit. Many suits come in separates that can accentuate what is positive about your body.

Kelly Wants to Make You 'Hot' with New Book
Kelly Bensimon doesn't just feel sexy – she wants you to feel sexy, too.
The Real Housewives of New York City star, 43, signed a deal with St. Martin's Press to write a book tentatively titled I Want to Make You Hot.
"Spend seven days with me and my expert friends and we'll have fun with exercise, eat better, dress amazing, have more fun and smile through a life that's too short," Bensimon says in a press release announcing her new project.
Bensimon, who says she feels "good about myself, my fluctuating weight and my life," hopes to inspire readers to develop a positive self-image. "Hot isn't about a waist size or a number on a scale," she says. "We can control how we look and feel, so let's get started together."
The guide – Bensimon's fourth book – will include over 40 recipes, along with tips on how to live a healthy life and have fun while doing it. It's tentatively scheduled to arrive in stores in 2012.

The NY Housewives Cast Could Be Replaced
Look out Jill, Ramona, LuAnn, and Alex -- according to a new report, you're all on the chopping block.Bravo executives were so overwhelmed with the success of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills -- their season finale was the highest-rated episodes in Housewives history -- they're looking at revamping the NYC franchise with all super-wealthy women with over-the-top lifestyles.
Producers believe that the hotel-sized mansions, stretch limos, diamonds, private jets, and record-setting divorce settlements that are part of the Bev Hills housewives' world, that made the show so appealing. They think the NYC show would perform better with that same feel.
So if you have Adrienne Maloof of Camille Grammer-size bank accounts, live in Manhattan, and have always wanted to be on reality TV, you may be in luck, reports The New York Post.
"We're always casting for new housewives in every city," a Bravo rep conceded to The Post. Would the cable net do a wholesale housecleaning and start the NYC show over with an entirely new cast? "We've never done that before," is all the rep would say.

LuAnn Talks Bin Laden Death; Baby Names
When it comes to etiquette, manners and overall good behavior, even celebrities need help navigating the rough waters of stardom! It’s a good thing Countess LuAnn de Lesseps of the Real Housewives of New York is joining forces with OK! to school them on the right thing to do! In a rough situation, we just ask, “What Would the Countess Do?” This week the Countess weighs in on “celebrating” Osama bin Laden’s death and odd celebrity baby names.
As the news of Osama bin Laden’s death erupted across the world, many struggled with the appropriateness of “celebrating” another human’s death. Advice for those who don’t want to be callous about human life, but want to express themselves in the wake of such a momentous event?
As an American and a New Yorker, I believe that there is nothing wrong with feeling joy that Osama bin Laden was brought to justice. Although some people may think that it is callous to celebrate the death of this terrorist who had no regard for the lives of the innocent Americans murdered on 9/11, I think that he got what he deserved. The best way to express yourself in this situation is to thank the brave men and woman in the Armed Forces, law enforcement and emergency services who have sacrificed so much in the war on terrorism and who will continue to defend our country in the face of new threats.
Tip: Patriotism is not just for the Fourth of July, it is for every day that we wake up in a free and democratic country.
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon named their twins Monroe (girl, after Marilyn) and Moroccan (boy, after a room in her home and, ostensibly, the country). What do you think of the trend of celebs giving their children odd names?
I wish celebrity parents would think about how the names they give their children affect them for a lifetime. Odd names can make children the target of teasing and as a result, the children often resent their parents for naming them something strange. Parents don’t think about how their children will have to spell their names out over and over to teachers, customer service reps, etc. and how their mail will arrive with the wrong name more often than not. Isn’t there a better way to foster creative in children than by giving them an odd name?
Tip: Before giving your child a “unique” name, think about whether you would like to be called this name for the rest of your life.

Ramona Singer: Bethenny Didn't Make $120 Mill
Real Housewives of New York star Ramona Singer has just released her own wine, but isn't a fan of Bethenny Frankel's Skinnygirl Margarita and doesn't believe for a second that the ex-wife really snagged $120 million for her company.
"Oh no, she likes to exaggerate," Ramona tells Rob Shuter on his HDNet show. "It's rumored, remember? It didn't say fact. Rumored."
Rumored as in the Hollywood Reporter citing insiders that have placed her deal to sell the Skinnygirl coctail line to Beam Global for a cool $120 mil.
"I was thinking before that figure came out she got about $30 million total," Ramona said. "And divided that between her and her partners David, and usually they do a pay out, they don't give you the money up front, they pay you out over time."
Ramona who likes to tell it like it is, says Jill Zarin has changed the most since the show started filming its fourth season on Bravo. "She's become quite full of herself. I'm the same. I'm a little unedited, a little bit of an unfiltered mouth. I don't talk behind your back, I talk about you right to your face."

Jill Zarin Is Back! But Can She Be Trusted?
We’re happy to see Jill Zarin finally back on Real Housewives of New York City – she’s been missing in action for the past two episodes! And it sounds like Jill has been put under Ramona Singer‘s “renewal” spell since returning from her vacation in Australia.Jill, NYC’s queen bee, claimed to be changed. But seconds after vowing to stay away from gossip – she took a jab at her frenemy Ramona!
“Ramona brings grown women to tears,” Jill told Countess LuAnn de Lesseps and newbee Cindy Barshop. “She leaves dead bodies everywhere!”
Even if Jill is trying to show her softer side, we hope she still has enough “chutzpah” to keep the season interesting! If not, it looks like Sonja Morgan will find a way to keep fans glued. The feisty blonde is holding nothing back this season. Do we have a new Ramona on our hands? She’s getting more “sonsational” as the episodes fly by.
Sonja took it upon herself to acquaint Cindy on “the pecking order” of their social circle. She even badgered Cindy about not having any Pinot Grigio for Ramona at her party!
“No one would be there or know you if it wasn’t for Ramona. There’s a pecking order, and if Ramona Singer walks into your party, you have to respect that,” says Sonja. That means have wine ready — and no more parties way out in Quogue. Cindy was obviously insulted!
The drama also seemed to settle down a bit between the blondes and brunettes — some even apologized! Sonja was successful in bandaging some of the wounds between Ramona and Kelly Bensimon regarding Kelly’s breakdown on “Scary Island” last season. Shockingly, Jill & Alex McCord finally had a sit-down — actually a burn-down — by throwing their qualms into the fire. Are their flames finally cooling down to smoking embers?

Alex McCord Sounds Off On 'NYC Housewives'
Whether she's calling Sonja Morgan a "thug in a cocktail dress" or dressing down Jill Zarin for being a phony, the usually reserved Alex McCord has been killing us with her newfound chutzpah on Real Housewives of New York City. And she's no less cheeky when it comes to fielding our questions about life as a Housewife.TV Guide Magazine: Gotta say, you are sassy this season!
McCord: [Laughs] I've always been empowered. It's just that now you're seeing it on TV.
McCord: [Laughs] I've always been empowered. It's just that now you're seeing it on TV.
TV Guide Magazine: Do you think your friendship with former Housewife Bethenny Frankel changed you?
McCord: My metamorphosis, if you want to call it that, had nothing to do with anything other than my being fed up. In the real world, it might be enough to think someone's an idiot. But on reality TV, you sort of have to beat them over the head with it. Otherwise, they don't know.

TV Guide Magazine: And who is the biggest idiot you have to deal with on the show?
McCord: I can't tell you! That's a spoiler!
McCord: I can't tell you! That's a spoiler!
TV Guide Magazine: Has it gotten old, always being filmed?
McCord: The more I do this, the more fun it's becoming. One thing that I think makes New York special is that we still have four original cast members left. What that means is whether we like each other or not, we have a shared history of four years. We know where each other's buttons are and how to push them. That makes for magical TV. All you have to do is get us in a room and turn the cameras on.

TV Guide Magazine: So after four years, would you consider any of your fellow cast mates real friends?
McCord: [Laughs] Some yes, some no. The entire group is one dysfunctional sorority. It's Kappa Kappa Housewives.
