The Countess on Bethenny and Jill: "I Don't Know If They'll Ever Be BFFs Again"

Luann de Lesseps says of costars' falling out, "There's a certain sadness to the whole situation"

We'll get to Countess Luann de Lesseps' new dance single in a moment, but first let's get to that ongoing feud between fellow Real Housewives of New York City stars Bethenny Frankel and Jill Zarin.

If you haven't been following the hit Bravo series this season, suffice it to say there's some mighty bad blood between the former besties, stemming from the time Zarin's husband, Bobby, was diagnosed with cancer. In short, Jill was pissed that Bethenny texted instead of calling or visiting to see how Bobby was doing.

Will they ever kiss and makeup? Read on to find out what the Countess thinks, plus have a listen to "Money Can't Buy You Class"…

"I think there's a certain sadness to the whole situation," de Lesseps said of the feud. "I don't know if they'll ever be BFFs again, but I think they will be cordial to each other." (FYI: de Lesseps is definitely Team Zarin. They became fast friends soon after the falling out.)

Now about that music. De Lesseps says she can handle the brutal criticism that's being hurled her way. "Darling, I'm a brave adventurous soul," she says. "That's why I'm doing a reality show…I just hope people kind of tip their hat to me for doing it."

De Lesseps shot a music video for the tune last weekend at New York nightclub Covet. One of her first performances will be at the end of May at Splash, a gay bar in New York City. And her rep just told me that she's decided to donate proceeds from the song's publishing rights to a children's cancer charity.

She's also in the studio putting together her follow-up single, "Chic, C'est la Vie." "It's about gems, jets and silhouettes and champagne in the sky, fine premieres and fireworks every single night," de Lesseps says. "It's a really fun song."

She insists that her kids aren't embarrassed by mommy's musical endeavors: "They're so over it, because I've been in entertainment for a long time…Nothing really surprises them."

Even her new boyfriend, French wine distributor Jacques Azoulay, says he still wants to get laid is impressed. "He thinks it's great," de Lesseps says. "He's very proud of me for getting out there and flying by the seat of my pants."

We assume those would be designer pants.
