Those damn housewives....

"Real Housewives of New York" Countess LuAnn de Lesseps and Count Alexandre de Lesseps are separating after 16 years of marriage. Shocker. "He finally sent her an email saying he was with an Ethiopian woman in Geneva, and he was serious with her." See..and in a classy EMAIL. She ran around and shoved the countess thing down everyone's throat and he found a nice, Ethiopian woman. That's what happens.

Yesterday, publicist Elizabeth Rosenthal said the couple "plan to remain friends and their primary focus will be to do what is best for their two children." The countess and count have a 15-year-old daughter, Victoria, and a 13-year-old son, Noel.

Rosenthal declined to comment on reports the breakup came after COUNTESS learned her husband she hadn't seen in 6 months was having a relationship with another woman. Word is she demands she will "stay a Countess." That is so funny. Get over it. Maybe it's all for her book releasing in a couple of weeks.

And what's up with that wacked out Kelly? All of those housewives are jealous of cute Bethenny Frankel. And I think Bethenny is damn funny. So just go punch a guy Kelly and leave her alone. It's like, 'I'm going to show you how threatened by you I am!" Nut. After last night's episode, you get the picture if it wasn't crystal clear before....Kelly wants to suffocate Bethenny.
