Most of the NYC Housewives are holding out for six figures and aren’t singing their contracts for next season. The only one who has signed on without negotiation is Kelly Bensimon–who is actually the one person that I could do without.

A source told the NY Daily News: “The Housewives all want six-figure deals…They barely made 10 grand for the first season, and now are all a bit too big for their britches. They want the whole shebang: a clothing allowance, money for hair and makeup, a set raise and a promised amount of screen time.”

I think their demands are a bit too much for reality stars, but then again, if they all hold out Bravo can’t recast the whole show! It just wouldn’t be the same. Rumors have it that Bravo is in fact looking to re-cast, but I think they’re just saying that to scare the Housewives into signing their contracts.

In any case, I like the Atlanta and New Jersey franchise over way over the NYC one these days.

She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio.

    I say fuck ‘em unless they’re going to rename the show “Super-Greedy Bitches Of NYC”. Isn’t it enough that they’re all already so fabulously wealthy that they alone keep our economy afloat? (Jill Zarin) They have to suck the cash completely out of our beloved Bravo network? And let’s not forget all the free advertising they get for Zarin Fabrics, Ramona’s Joolry collection, Bethenny’s cookbooks and drinks and the DisCountess’ etiquette book and whatever-the-fuck-Silex does! That’s so damned distasteful, I say CAST NEW PEOPLE ANDY!!!

    love, J-Mo :)

    I’m with J-Mo – this is fucking ridiculous. I’ve always liked this version of RHW but this past season was like a sell-a-thon. Now they want six figures? Hey Andy – how ’bout starting a show called Real Fatasses of Delaware? I work cheap! Not to be mistaken for actually BEING cheap.

    SWAK, PottyMouth

    Sounds like reasonable stipulations to me. Only 10 grand for having cameras scrutinise your life for god knows how many weeks, plus publicity requirements? Doing your own hair and makeup??

    I don’t watch that show but I guarantee they got a raw deal in the first place.

    Now that they have a degree of “fame” (dubious as that may be) they are asking for a better deal. That’s good business.

    So, Bravo – cough up or recast. Who the fuck cares?
