There's some serious shiz going down with the Real Housewives of New York City' According to the Huffington Post, sources inside Bravo revealed they let Jill Zarin, Alex McCord and Kelly Bensimon go from the show and will not be returning as full-time cast members next season. All three ladies were told the bad news this morning.

With LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan left, the show must go on.... Except it's going to get more interesting because LuAnn revealed yesterday on New York Live that three new women will be added to the cast.

Even though Jill, Alex and Kelly Bensimon have not been asked to return full time next season, they were told they could possibly be reinstated if any of the new hoes don't work out.

I think Bravo is screwing up on this one. It would be much more interesting if they kept those three and went ahead and added three more women to the cast. Then again, Bravo's pretty cheap so they're not going to spend more than they have to.
