Is Former Real Housewives Star Kelly Bensimon Dating Madonna's Ex?!
Sometimes all it takes is a simple stroll to get tongues wagging.
And if rumors are to be believed, former Real Housewives of New York City star Kelly Bensimon and one of Madonna's ex-boy toys are doing way more than just walking around the Big Apple.
The two were reportedly spotted on the streets of the East Village over the weekend, with one website quoting a source saying "they started out working on a project together, but have since gotten very close...we all know that they are together."
But which of the Material Girl's guys are we talking about here?
Which Former Real Housewife Wants $12 Million for Her Hamptons Spread?
Not everyone wants to spend weekends in the Hamptons, apparently.
Because despite the ample room for shoes, jewelry, kids and drama, a former Real Housewives star has listed her East Hampton home for $12 million.
It appears to be a model-perfect property, what with its 5,800-square-foot floor plan and 1.2 acres of landscaped grounds upon which to frolic.There's a pool, a pond, a sun-filled living room (well, not at night, probably), vaulted ceilings, a luxurious master suite...
So, who decided that this place doesn't mesh with her current lifestyle?
Kelly Bensimon on Giuliana Rancic: "She's Such a Strong Woman"

When I caught up with former Real Housewife of New York this weekend, she gave props her to her friend and our own E! News coanchor Guiliana Rancic, who's recovering from surgery after being diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.
So how's G doing?

Kelly Bensimon: No Regrets About Leaving Real Housewives
Kelly Bensimon has no regrets about her departure from The Real Housewives of New York City.
In fact, she has another new project she's excited to share this week.
"I have a big announcement on Thursday," she told me last night in NYC.
But the Bravo reality star admits she'll definitely miss one aspect of the show...
UPDATE!
Poor Little Rich Girl Alert: Did Bethenny Frankel's Net Worth Just Drop $91.9 Million?!
It's safe to say it's been a rough week for Bethenny Frankel. And while she's stomped down the rumor questioning her tale of being lost at sea, another rumor has popped up in its place. And this one could cost her more than just her reputation.
At issue is whether or not Frankel is truly deserving of her recent inclusion on Forbes' Highest-Paid Women in Entertainment list released last week. The magazine claims the recent sale of her Skinnygirl empire netted her a whopping $100 million. But recently unearthed documents pertaining to the sale seem to indicate that the figure she banked is actually a far less astronomical $8.1 million.
Which would mean, at least as far as the press is concerned, Frankel's net worth just dropped $91.9 million. Yes, million (granted that she may never have had to begin with).
But did her booze-abetted payday really get shaken, stirred and straight-up inflated by an extra eight figures?

It's Mo' Money for Some Real Housewives of New York, Already Mo' Problems for Others
LuAnn de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan and Ramona Singer didn't only make the cut when their former costars got the axe from The Real Housewives of New York City, they're raking in much more dough.
The three ladies wound up with a big pay raise for the new season of the reality series, jumping from $275,000 for the season to much higher, an inside source tells E! News.
Oh, and there's already drama brewing between the old and new castmembers.
So what are they all making? And who's fighting now?
Which Real Housewife Is One of Hollywood's Top-Earning Women?
It looks like housewives are becoming the bread winners.
Forbes has released its Entertainment's Highest-Earning Women list, which estimates which female hot shots were bringing in the big bucks from May 2010 to May 2011. For the most part, they were names that we figured would be on the list.
Oprah Winfrey ($290 million) and Lady Gaga ($90 million) took the top two spots, but when it came to No. 3, we were surprised to see a Real Housewives star make the cut.
Can you take a stab at who's makin' seriously big bucks?
Kelly Bensimon Not "Sad" About Housewives Ouster, Looking for a "Bigger and Better Deal"
Don't count Kelly Bensimon out just yet.
Just because she won't be returning to The Real Housewives of New York City, that doesn't mean she's done with reality television.
In Bensimon's first interview since news broke that she was one of the four stars that Bravo didn't ask back, she tells me...
