Agyness Deyn: Dim-Witted Or A Publicity Genius?

Nina CarboneJuly 9, 2009 //

Today’s New York Times Style section covers the rise and possible bail out of It Girl fashion model Agyness Deyn. Will she pursue acting? Singing? Will she leave modeling altogether? Well, you won’t get any straight (or even vaguely specific) answers from her, not even on the more benign questions. (It seems she’s gone to the Kelly Bensimon school of question answering—talk in circles about unrelated topics and hope the interviewer doesn’t notice!) But, as the NYT reporter suggests, does she actually have nothing going on upstairs, or is it just a way to fend off a line of questioning, remain elusive and thus intriguing to most everyone? You decide. Some Agy gems, after the jump! Keep reading »

The Really Rich Housewives Of New York City Want More Money

Justine FieldsJuly 7, 2009 //

There’s drama, drama, drama over the next season of “The Real Housewives of New York City.” While Kelly Bensimon, the newbie housewife-that-everyone-loves-to-hate, is officially on board, the original cast members––Bethany Frankel, Alex McCord, Ramona Singer, and Jill Zarin (there was no mention of LuAnn de Lesseps)––are rumored to be stalling on signing their contracts for the third season because they’re holding out for six-figure deals. Aren’t these women already loaded?! I hope these six-figures are going to Creaky Joints, the arthritis charity the Housewives threw a benefit for last season.

Annika HarrisJune 9, 2009 //
  • Kelly Bensimon of “The Real Housewives of New York City” has been ordered to perform two days of community service as a plea deal stemming from misdemeanor assault charges from an incident with her boyfriend. [PopEater] — Don’t expect her to put her name on any invitations.
  • Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr looked like they took a bath in some orange goop before attending Shane West’s birthday bash. [Perez Hilton] — Jessica’s orange skin isn’t the only tragedy. Homegirl shouldn’t go partying if she knows her roots will sweat out.

Quickies!: Kelly Bensimon Should Leave “The Real Housewives”

Annika HarrisApril 28, 2009 //
  • Jill Zarin from “The Real Housewives of New York City” says Kelly Bensimon should leave the show, go back to anonymity, and repair her reputation. [E! Online] — But then who would we have to hate? Ramona, I guess.
  • If you’re not totally sick of Kelly yet, take a tour of her closet — er, series of rooms. [Shine] — I bet she has a whole section for her age-inappropriate mini-dresses, skirts, and shorts. You know, because “legs are the new breasts.”
  • Melissa Rosenberg, who’s writing the screenplay for “Eclipse,” the third film in the “Twilight” saga, wants Channing Tatum to play Riley, a villainous vampire who attacks Bella and the Cullens. [Pop Eater] Yum, yum, yum!

    Amelia McDonell-ParryApril 10, 2009 //
  • Kelly Killoren Bensimon tells the new issue of Bazaar, “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.” [DListed] — Somebody, anybody, please, tell me what the f**k the ambassador for WOOL does!
  • Backing up my position on Seth Rogen’s date rape movie, “Observe and Report,” is this Friday Feminist F**k You. [Feministing]

    The Real Housewives Of NYC: Kelly Bensimon Brings The Crazy

    Amelia McDonell-ParryApril 1, 2009 //

    On last night’s episode of “The Real Housewives Of New York City,” Kelly Bensimon attempted to tear Bethenny a new you-know-what for daring to call her “Madonna” at the arthritis charity meeting. Bethenny, as you may recall, was appalled that Kelly wouldn’t put her name on the invitation (Kelly doesn’t lend her name to anything), which just added to her general dislike of the latest housewife.

    [Note: Personally, I think the [soon-to-be-former] C(o)untess LuAnn had Kelly added to the show so she would seem less evil in comparison. Totally worked, FYI, as LuAnn seems like Mother Theresa to me now.] Keep reading »
