Alex................. after many years of sunbathing in St Barts, her teeth look a little better here.

During the reunion show, Slime-on lead us to believe that Alex's "pictures" were done professionally when he answered that the "photographer" did not have permission to release the photos. Oh well, "What's done, is done."

Does this mean that they invited a real photographer to the hotel room to take those shower pictures?

Or does it mean that it was Slime-on and his Canon Sure Shot that did the snapping and the HE put them on the net without telling Alex so it would NOT be a untruth?

Oh, and they appear to have been shot in Simons hotel, including a topless shot in the hotel hallway.

I wonder how Simon's company will feel about his wife posing for topless photos in the guest hallway of his hotel...

You are an interesting birdie, John McKee. Speaking as Bethenny might put it, it seems a little like you have a horse in this race? Do tell? Please?

That said, how many times have I watched this Reunion? 5th time today, easily. This last time, I was kind of all about the body language.

1. In the beginning, all the ladies had their legs crossed, though LuAnn had the royalty thing going, the way Diana, Jackie, Grace Kelly, etc. crossed their legs. After the next commercial break, there was Alex imitating LuAnn ... although she did break down later and go back to crossing her legs whichever way.

2. I never totally caught in earlier runs how Ramona literally freaking could NOT LOOK AT ALEX in the eye. In fact, she actually seems to have a problem looking anyone in the eye. She so totally cannot slow down. There is something at work there. I know there are cameras and everything, but I just have never seen a Ramona that is much south of "An Eleven" on the scale. When Alex and Simon were talking midway through the Reunion, I was totally blown away by seeing that Ramona literally looked the other way on purpose, like they were showing PETA seal-clubbing photos or something.

Yeah, I think "all show and no go" means that 4 housewives, even Bethenny, felt totally "had" by Alex and Simon. Who are, admittedly, creepy.

I have no clue how they will make a 2nd season when none of the first 4 will have anything to do with Alex and Simon. There is no reason for them to do so. Even without money, they have proven themselves not only gauche and pretentious, but just not that interesting, or smart. True, they are like the cover of a book, but one you will regret bringing home once you get to about the 10th page.

Hey Poohtz.....thank you!

After seeing that horrid picture, I am no longer sharing my secrets with anyone!

Alex and her husband are the most real people on this show- who cares if she posed nude and gets off on social climbing. She loves her husband and actually spends time with her kids--the other gold diggers don't give a damn about their kids. Ramona is obviously on speed to lose weight and that harelip of hers---bleech. This show was bad PR for NYC.

REAL? How many "real" people do you know deem an event successful due to the fact that they "made eye contact" with celebrities?

They're also LIARS. They say repeatedly that François speaks French, yet he barely even speaks ENGLISH. THey talk about their two French au pairs, yet my very good friend who lives a block away from them knows their CARRIBBEAN nanny. That French au pair was a temp just for show.

Alex's photos are by two different photogs: Bob Coulter, and James Demaria who did the "post-birth" photos. It was Demaria who said those were the Playboy audition photos. This was all over Manhattan weeks ago. Alex used to look pretty good in another time.


As for the Zarins, I can't say anything more.

[Beezers]

I love the Zarins. They seem like lovely, warm, down to earth people that use their wealth to enhance other's lives and enjoy theirs. They seem the most grounded of them all in not letting their financial status propel them higher or lower than they expect to be. I love Jill's honesty and I love her banter with Bethenny. I love how she is open to new friends at her age (not many are) and how she tries to be a good friend to everyone. I REALLY hope she comes back next season!

Robbing the poor to pad the deep, greedy pockets of the rich? Say it ain't so. Telling people to sell their children to pay a loan? I'd be so proud.
""Smart" celebrities who "care" about things love microcredit, the most buzzed-about poverty-ending economic fad since eating the poor. Mohammed Yunus, the guy who invented it, won a Nobel Peace Prize! And Harvard-educated Natalie Portman works tirelessly to promote the idea that small loans to impoverished people will lead to an entrepreneurial spirit that will lift everyone out of poverty. The only problem with "microcredit" is that it's actually loan-sharking, and it's destroying the lives of the people it's meant to help. France24 actually did some journalism and talked to recipients of the micro-loans instead of just taking the word of noble economists as gospel. Watch as collectors from Grameen Bank, the gigantic bank that largely runs the microcredit scheme, advise villagers to sell their children! Now, instead of just being broke, Bangladeshi villagers are deep in debt and killing themselves to escape their creditors. Finally, they are living the American Dream." - From The Gawker - Gawker, Manhattan Media News and Gossip - On a lighter note, some very funny reads on the Gawker site. Check out the story about Alex and her REAL job at VS and the fugly clothes she wears...

The business about "the count" and his usurious microcredit schemes: just plain sick. His companies charge upwards of 22% interest to the poorest people on earth, and when asked why so much, his blithe answer is that this keeps the loan sharks away. So what pray tell does he think he is? So LaLaAn and the sweeties live like royalty on the backs of people who are starving, selling their children to merely exist. The "count", his partners in crime, and his family: they're just plain sick. They are the slime of the world IMHO.
