ZARIN ZARIN ZARIN

MARCH 4th. 10 PM. BRAVO. THEY'RE BACK. While the wild thangs of the dirty jerz still hold a place in my heart as my FAVORITE hunk of "real" housewives, the catty and fabulous New York crew never fail to amuse me. They had me at Halloween: only Jill Zarin could pull off such a perfect replica of my other idol, Elle Woods. This season, which I expect to be as drama-potent as a SkinnyGirl Margarita, is featuring two new socialistas, ready to brave Bravo's biggest hit with the "charm" that no one but the ex-wife of the J.P. Morgan fortune -- if it still exists, thankyouverymuch, recession! -- heir could muster.

As you might remember, I had the pleasure of spying Zarin Fabrics' famous redhead out on the streets of the concrete jungle this past summer. Here's hoping that it happens again. In the meantime, though, I'll be glued to my TV every Thursday at 10... quite possibly with a Bethenny-brewed cocktail in hand!
