Tonight (March 24), "" are getting busy during the fashion week. And true to their competitive nature, the claws are once again out even when a celebrity is involved. Clips from the drama and the mess are available as preview.

Jill is hosting the Zang Toi fashion show private luncheon and is light on housewife attendance since Jill says Bethenny is the only one that can afford the fashions. Unimpressed with Kelly's name-dropping, Bethenny gives Kelly the cold shoulder when the two are forced to sit next to each other at another one of the shows.

Also, at the Russell Simmons Menswear show, tensions mount when all of the ladies in the front row where Ramona - hassled by Simon to explain her problem with him - tells him that he's shallow.

  • There's a Fashion Show Going On!
  • Fashion Show Friction
  • Ramona vs. Simon

Love Jill, and her Mum. Nice people. Ramona and Mario, pfffft, losers. Bethany, way-to-go-girl, working for a living and giving sad-sack Kelly the business. Kelly wouldn't know honesty if she fell over it. Alex, I like. Simon I can take or leave, mostly leave. Thanks for an entertaining season.

Seems like the only lady who actually works is Bethenny. The rest have fairly wealthy husbands and Kelly has a "famous" ex., so, she probably gets supported by him plus she uses his name to keep her name going in the social circles and the tons of connections/jobs that she says that she has. If she is a writer, she should be able to put a coherent sentence together. She stuttered and made no sense at her "meeting" with Bethenny. As much as she tried to make Bethenny feel "small/lower" than her, she only succeeded in looking and sounding silly. She couldn't even make eye contact with her while trying to "trash" Bethenny. The rest of the ladies are trying to "write" books, sell their wares (fabrics, jewelry, tee shirts, clothing, etc.) and use this show as a launching site to make money. Their "charity" work seems contrived. They are more worried about the "event"/"party"/who's invited/who is not, their names/recognition for their charity, etc., than on the actual act of helping people in need. It's all a tax write off for their wealth come April!! It all seems like so much self promotion..by women who are not actresses..just happened to be picked for the show and stage a lot of drama for the viewers. Reality shows are becoming the poor man's/woman's way to their 15 minutes of fame, be it good, bad, or ugly. They don't seem to care. They put themselves and their families out there and fight for attention like gladiators in the lion's den. Can't wait to see the NJ Housewives' show. That should be a hoot!!

Only 2 1/2 men in the show and Jill is married to 2 men and LuAnn is married to 1/2(in gest for his seldom appearance). The rest being male participants with their insecurities and small minded pettiness they are going to force all women to become lesbians.Bullfrogs look in the mirror and see Princes. I wish I could make it true but unfortunately you are BULLFROGS.As for Alex and Ramona you two are First, pushing HOMOPHOBIC men to gay men.Second,seeing you two, I'm hoping my son will bring a man home. Mario, Ramona,Alex,Simmon,Kelly& Kelly's doofus date,Please,Class is not inherent.You have options. You can acquire class.People use "trailer park" as a description,but I have seen "Redneck Trailer park"his beergut in "wifebeater T-shirt" holding Budweiser with so much class and character, I introduced myself to him and his wife. By the way, their english grammar was far worst than mine. So, class can be acquired start from learning that money never bought class. "It takes one to know one,"are classic words of wisdom to those seeking "depth." Everyone who criticized LuAnn's mannerism & title,your words are expected only because you are not able to understand the context. Not even Shakespear nor Puccini could possibly portray class.If you have class you will recognize class. It's almost like the Masons. Before I leave, I have to say to Betheny, how you handled Kelly was like watching mental martial art. All you did was redirect Kelly's bitterness toward you. She was knocked down as hard as she attacked. Kelly's date wasn't sure if Kelly was the same person he invited. Betheny,you are very intelligent and strong not tough. I am proud of you and remember, reflect before you make conclusion. Because of your past you are hard on the good people around you.Not because you don't know but because you don't want to get hurt.LuAnn and Jill are really good

So did I see this right? Kelly invites Bethanny to talk, shows up late and rambles about how they could never be friends...what was the purpose of that? Her all around pompus attitude puts her _ not - !!If her name is worth anything (?) she should be honored to put it to good use! I think Kelly has some issues...just ask Nicholas. Bethany got where she is on her own power not someone else's. She should be voted off the island!

Alex and Simon, it is good that you love each other and you focus on your children, but in all honesty; the two of you are out of your league when it compares to the other women. You two vacation in the Hamptons by way of rentals, the other women (besides Bethanne) own property. The other couples have condos and/or townhomes in the Upper East end of NYC. Your in Brooklyn…..not Manhattan???? Even I have friends from Brooklyn and they saw the area you live in a dump. The pool that you had in your backyard----Wal-Mart or Kmart, bought me on. They run less than two $200. The other housewives’ pools are their backyard, custom built. At the Russell Simmons Fashion Show, Simon you did not know which side of the rope to walk on and you was at a formal, press event starting an argument with Ramona----clearly you two are out of your league. Also, Simon, yes you want to do things with your wife, but can she not breathe??? Where are your male friends? When the girls want a girls night out, that’s exactly what it means a bonding time for women to talk work, children, husbands, concepts on intimacy, health and beauty aids. I agree with Ramona, you had no place there---get some males friends or stay at home with the kids!!!!

I THINK THAT JILL AND ALEX ARE THE ONLT ONES ON THE SHOW WHO HAVE REAL CLASS. JILL LEADS WITH HER HEART AND ALEX LEADS WITH HER HONESTY. I DO WISH THAT ALEX WOULD GAIN SOME WEIGHT SHE IS EXTREMELY TOO THIN. ALEX AND SIMON, PLEASE DO NOT WRITE A BOOK ABOUT HOW TO REAR CHILDREN UNTIL YOU TEACH YOUR OWN CHILDREN SOME TABLE MANNERS. THAT DINNER PARTY WAS REALLY A COMPLETE DISASTER WITH YOUR CHILDREN SMASHING SADNWHICHES AND RUNNING AROUND SCREAMING. THUGH THIS IS NORMAL FOR CHILDREN TO DO, IT IS NOT RIGHT TO BRING THEM TO A DINNER PARTY AND HAVE THEM ACT LIKE WILD ANIMALS.I DO SO THINK THAT YOU AND SIMON ARE DOWN TO EARTH PEOPLE AND ARE VERY GOOD PARENTS.

Bethenny, stick a fork in jill's eye?-your a really great friend?-if she wants to talk material things she's your friend--and should be able to talk about any subject she wants!!--jill I agree with christains girl, that white dress looked like an old house smock--dress up jill, you've got it, so flaunt it-and yes you have a habit of name dropping when it comes to designers---luanne can you say egotistical?-- alex kudos- simmon be yourself, if old ramona doesn't like it too bad!!kelly can you say cocky, phoney- wanna be. hm???------------- as far as clothes go, I think alot of the clothes these ladies wear look more like --wal-mart- than designers clothes-- I dress better going food shopping!! and I'm not -RICH------luanne- your husband's family has an odd reputation, I read somethings in david icke's book that concerned me about the delasepps not sure of the spelling--not that I believe everything that I read!!I would't be too quick to tell people that they have contributed alot to America!! Ramona if enough people state that they think that you are 'HOMOPHOBIC' maybe you will see what others do about you!!!and yes you do look like you are in your forties and worse like you are on drugs!!

Bethany - You are the only true person on this show. You are honest to yourself and you are the only person who has the courage to call a spade, "a spade!" More power to you. Ignore those who are trying to force feed their ideas, such as Lu Ann. You are very Beautiful, classy, honest, self-confident, and loving person. Kelly is trying hard to portray someone who is not her. She married someone old and rich, had 2 kids for lifetime support called alimony, kept his last name and has tried many other ways to be somebody. If someone has to keep insisting that she has been in fashion, she has been a model, she is important, she writes, ..., obviously she is a NO-body who wants to become someone by pretending. Her true color has come out. Jill - you are trying too hard. You pay for the friendship of the designers. If you were friends with them without having to pay for it, it would be worth mentioning. But all this talk about how friendly you are with designer when everyone can see it is for the $$$ that your husband makes and you spend, is a bit ridiculous. You are a good person at heart; stick with that. Alex - why are you not staying at your husband's hotel? It would be safer for your kids. Kudos to you and your husband for being yourselves. Your husband is polite, loving, caring and has class. Ramona-type who is used to men who act as jerks or those HOMOPHOBIC who cannot understand kindness, love and being a gentleman, should be ignored. Ignore the ignorant such as Ramona. She needs to worry about the fact that her own daughter cannot stand her. She needs to worry about her face-lift that has left her with a constant SHOCKED face. She is the worst form of Low Class + New Money.

Hello Ladies,Well another tuesday evening with the ladies of N,Y--Ramona, I have come to the conclusion my dear, that you are "Extremely HOMOPHOBIC"- When you told simon that he was"Shallow" his reply should have been"AND YOU MY DEAR RAMONA HAVE NO CLASS"-SHAME ON YOU -- Bethenny,why do you act like a bitter old woman.You are a beautiful woman but your demeanor shouts "Bitter"-- Jill, my favorite-- that white dress you wore was the ugliest dress!! who would have known that you have such a nice shape-- the clothes you tried on in toi's salon, were "GORGEOUS" TRY SHOWING YOUR FIGURE A BIT MORE!!what are you so ashamed of?--jill, countess or no countess, please stop name dropping-- your husbands family may be well known in France, but here he is just like any other American--you stated that you do alot of charity work kudo's to you-- BUT YOU HAVE A TENDENCY TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT YOU INDEED 'do charity work"--- It's not necessary to remind us!!---!kelly, is a wanna be--"WHO AIN'T' POOR GRAMMAR CORRECT PERCEPTION- Alex, you seem very down to earth to me, sleeping in that room when your home was being renovated--kudos-- this is real life people!! jill may not want to stay in that room, but thats about what all we "NON RICH PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO DO- upon renovation of our homes-so again you are rich alex- and you are honest--WHEN KELLY REFUSED TO BE ON JILL'S LIST FOR HER DAUGHTERS ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION, IT TOLD PEOPLE WHAT SHE WAS TRULY LIKE-- AND TO ME THAT WOULD BE THE REAL MEANING OF "shallow"
