Real Housewives Hit the Shows

Oh, joy: Today we’ve spotted not one but two stars of The Real Housewives of New York City — combined with yesterday’s Whitney Port sighting, Fashion Week has become reality-television heaven (or hell, depending on how you feel about these things). First we spotted Bethenny Frankel sitting front row at Jill Stuart, just a few seats down from Michelle Trachtenberg (that’s right: Frankel is on par with Gossip Girl when it comes to seating). Then later, at Catherine Malandrino, we spied fellow Housewives star Luanne de Lesseps sitting right across the runway from us. We hit her up after the show; she said she wasn’t being filmed at Malandrino but that she was pretty sure they were filming Bethenny at Jill Stuart, explaining that not all designers are keen on having the reality-TV crews storming around. De Lesseps said she planned to attend a few more shows, noting that, “Kelly Bensimmon invited me to Malo.” Well! Does this mean Luanne and Kelly are becoming BFFs? Or at least in the staged way? We see a very jealous Jill Zarin in our Bravo-watching future.
