Meanwhile, catch up with "The Real Housewives of New York City"'s Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer as they dish like they've never done before with "The Insider"'s Ross Mathews.

The three met up at New York's The Palm restaurant where they went to town on Kelly Killoren Bensimon, the latest addition to the group, who was recently arrested for misdemeanor assault.

"It was really inconvenient that she was on the cover of the papers on the day my book launched," Bethenny, whose Naturally Thin: Unleash Your SkinnyGirl and Free Yourself from a Lifetime of Dieting was released on March 10, tells Ross. "Could she not have waited another week to have an argument with her boyfriend?"

And Ramona adds, "What boyfriend goes to the police station to report that his girlfriend hit him? That is a little strange."

For more of Ross' interview with the Manhattan ladies, check out the video.

"The Real Housewives of New York City" airs Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. on Bravo.

  • I like Alex and Simon the most, they really love each other - I think cold people find that creepy but I think it is great. I also like Jill. Ramona she needs to take a breath she always seems crazed. LuAnn isn't a countess anymore - so enough already!

  • I love Bethenny. She's beautiful, funny, intelligent, and strong with an endearing vulnerability. She and Jill are really people I would like to know. I think Ramona and Luann are only moderately interesting. Alex and Simon are an irreplaceable train-wreck; they are such a disaster, but I just can't look away. Kelly is someone I hope they cut from the show. She is self-involved, inappropriate, clueless, dishonest (and apparently violent), and has none of the quirkiness or charm of the other housewives. She is a train-wreck I want to look away from. Please Bravo, let me!

  • Alex & Simon are hysterically funny! They are my fav. The Duchess is HOT! Now that she's ditched the old guy maybe she can explore her sexuality and become the dyke she obviously is.

  • When I started watching the show I thought that Kelly would stir things up, but she hasn't. I think she should leave the show. Maybe if she would discuss what it is like being a transsexual, it might make things more interesting and make fans have more compassion for her. Otherwise, she comes across as snotty.

  • My favorite housewife is Bethenney Frankel. My least favorite has to be Kelly Bensimon. Who is she? I hear she was a model. What did she model and did she model here in the States? Everyone I know that watches the HWONYC can not believe shes was ever a model. She needs to stay out of the sun her face looks 10 times older than the rest of these women. I could go on all night about this women she is a total nothing. Alex and Simon and their two brats are looking better and better.

  • I just love Jill. She seems to be an awesome Mom. I can't find anything bad to say about her. Bethenny is proof that you cannot let your past dictate your future. She seems to be a very strong and independant woman. I admire her.

  • I like Bethenny, but with the way all of these women interact with each other, bad mouthing each other at random -- who needs enemies? Also, I watched the episode where Kelly gave three different accounts to three different people of her confrontation with Bethenny...all of the accounts were somewhat different and all of them lacking in the full truth and some parts just outright lies. What a pearl to have as a new addition! I have a real problem with liars. Doesn't Kelly realize this is recorded so we know the truth no matter what she says to the contrary? Must be a rocket scientist. I'm glad the whole bunch of them are not as sleazy as the Orange County bimbos!

  • My favorites are Jill and Bethenny. They have it all!
    Smart, beautiful, fabulous taste, elegant, appropriate for every occasion, generous and my kind of girls.
    The Countess is so sad, her husband really socked it to her and I hope maintaining the title serves her well. Kelly is a zero, her looks are starting to fade so she better hurry up and catch one of the hundreds she is apparently abusing-shame on you Kelly, I thought you were such a classy girl with a degree from Columbia-RIGHT!
    Romona, you talk about depth, you have no class and sound like more of an air-head than Kelly and I would keep a close eye on the whereabouts of your hubby.
    I love the show and still don't understand why any of these people would want to expose themselves to the whole world.
    Alex and Simon are not strange, they just seem to really enjoy and respect eachother. Alex, leave Simon home to watch the kids when it's a girls night out-OK?
    Bethenny is more of a housewife than any of the others, she actually COOKS!
