Carole Radziwill Joins Real Housewives of New York City

Because Bravo believes that changing a cast can somehow make a very tired series relevant again, Carole Radziwill has joined the cast of The Real Housewives of New York City. Two weeks ago we reported that Carole, Heather and Aviva all joined the series. Newcomer Cindy Barshop was axed, and Jill Zarin, Alex McCord and Kelly Bensimon were also told to go.

Word on the blogs is that Ramona Singer wants Bravo to hire two of her friends, but we don't know if any of the women are friends of Ramona's. But we hope so! Three b!tches slurring together on TV each week could spice up the franchise. Sonja Morgan is friends, and drinking buddies, with Ramona and she's been a great addition.

Carole was spotted with crew members yesterday in Greenwich Village.

Carole is a former ABC News reporter, a writer for Glamour magazine, ex-friends with the late Corolyn Bessette-Kennedy and ex-wife of Prince Anthony Radziwill, the only son of Jackie Kennedy Onassis' younger sister, Lee Radziwill and the cousin of John F. Kennedy, Jr.

Why does it matter who your ex was and who you're related to when all of these women act like bitter, catty, immature b!tches once the cameras are rolling?
