A pair of new faces will be added to the mix when The Real Housewives of New York City strut back onto the small screen for a third season next year. Big Apple socialites Sonja Morgan and Jennifer Gilbert have joined the cast of the
Sonja Morgan
popular Bravo docu-comedy/drama, The New York Post reported Thursday.
Don’t worry — Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, Bethenny Frankel, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Alex McCord, Ramona Singer, and Jill Zarin will all be back for social calls and on-screen catfights. Sonja and Jennifer will come aboard on a “recurring basis,” the networks says.
Sonja Morgan, a former model and friend to European royalty and fashion designers, is a single mother of a 9-year-old daughter named Morgan. Sonja “loves art, decorating, gardening, skiing and visiting France every chance she gets — be it for her charity work or just for pleasure,” according to a press release from Bravo.
Jennifer Gilbert

She owns and runs Save the Date®, a corporate and social event planning company, and serves as the co-owner of PortaMEe, a baby carrier company. Jennifer was named Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young when she was 29. She is a graduate of the “Birthing of Giants” Program at MIT.

Oh Geez! The Ladies Of Bravo’s ‘Real Housewives Of NYC’ Are Absolutely RID-IC-U-LOUS!!!!!!!
Posted on 18. Feb, 2009 by CSS.
Why Oh Why were these ladies picked back up???
At least on the other Housewives programs there is humor along with their outrageous behavior. The ladies in NYC are so bland and boring but yet so insanely entitled!
The ‘Countess’ absolutely takes the cake in my book- my favorite quote of hers from the season opener is,
“For me that’s the worst a person could be, is people that think they are better than other people, that’s the worst”
Um, how do you say pot calling the kettle black?! Now, rewind to last season when the ‘Countess’ scolded Bethany for introducing her to the driver by her first name and not ‘Countess’…. give me a break!! Then later in this episode, the ever so humble ‘Countess’ refuses service of a bottled beer at the Hampton’s bash citing: ‘The Countess doesn’t drink beer from a bottle!!’ Oh Geeeeezzzzzzz Lady get off your high horse!!
Another favorite part of the episode for me was when Ramona pulls her daughter aside to share the gossip in the Cindy Adams column- Her daughter reminds me of a young spoiled Heidi Montag…. Then later on Ramona takes her husband to a restaurant to discuss the gossip and all he can do is stare at all the ladies walking by!! OUCH! Ramona’s hubby looks like a totally slime ball!
Last night they introduced a new housewife, Kelly. She is by far prettier than any of the other Housewives, that’s for sure! At first, when they introduced her at lunch with Luann I thought they were using her as the type of underdog for this season seeing that she is now a single mom- Then later on in the episode it cuts to what her life is like, and I think she has a lot going for her! She has exciting jobs in fashion and quite frankly may be the one redeeming quality about this season. Kelly’s status seems so far above everyone elses on that show! Maybe she will put some of the ladies in their place (ahem Countess Luann.)
Don’t get me started on Simon, I haven’t completely figured out his damage yet!
I have to say I will probably continue to tune in for the sole fact that watching grown woman act so ludicrous really helps remind me of the type of people I never ever want to end up like!!!! And I can’t deny it can be good material!
Just in case all you Luann fans dream of being just like her, she is coming to your aid!! Luann revealed that she is working on a ‘Manners/Etiquette’ book just for you!!
