Bethenny Frankel, the somewhat newly engaged Real Housewives of New York cast member that’s about to branch out with her very own spin off has some more exciting news to share (because why would you keep anything secret?!)… She and fiance Jason Hoppy are expecting their first child. Bethenny, who didn’t give a reason for why she told-all to People about her pregnancy, did mention that she’d hoped to keep it secret longer than she did. “It’s not like, ‘Did I Get Botox?’ It’s not the way I wanted it to get out. I haven’t even gone through my first trimester. We haven’t even heard the heartbeat. My [fiancé's] parents didn’t even know.” So, uhhh, why’d you want it to get out then, lady? Deny, deny, deny! Has your minor fame taught you nothing, Frankel?! Never tell the truth the first time!

The pregnancy is about two months along, so the notoriously tiny Bethenny better start packing on the pounds soon to accommodate her baby. What’s even more troubling is that fickle Bethenny just met this fiance of hers 11 months ago. Not quite Khloe and Lamar-status, but what’s the rush?

Real Housewives of New York City cast member Bethenny Frankel is ready to start her own solo venture apart from BFF Jill, Countess LuAnn, Ramona, Alex and Kelly, but her castmates don’t seem so happy for her. Bethenny’s show, Skinny in the City, which chronicles her life with her new fiance and the expansion of her Skinny Girl brand, is exactly the kind of deal that every woman on her show would kill for, so the fact that none of them have said a word to her about it makes sense. Bethenny refers to her new project as “the elephant in the room”, as everyone knows exactly what she’s been up to, yet no one has even tossed her a simple “Congrats” or a free ream of fabric or anything.

Bethenny dished to People Magazine about her feelings re: the silence and says she’s not angry about it. “I hope they would be supportive just because they’re human beings. But do I care [that nobody's said anything]? Nah. I don’t even think about it. I’ve got too much to focus on [than] to focus on girl trouble.”

While it’s obvious to say the least that the other Real Housewives are likely a bit jealous about the exposure Bethenny has drummed up for herself due to a healthy dose of public shit talking and famewhoring (I see this woman out on the town and in the society pages than a circa 2002 Paris Hilton), it also wouldn’t surprise me if her castmates weren’t happy for her because, well, Bethenny’s turned in to a total bitch. While she once was praised for being the Greek Chorus of RHONYC, she’s overplayed that role to the point that her digs and punny little nicknames for her castmates aren’t even cute anymore. If I had to take a guess, I’d say that everyone from Jill to Alex has had enough of Bethenny’s obnoxious ways.

Ooh, Lindsay, work it, girl!

La Lohan hit up a Stand Up for the Cure event in NYC. It doesn’t look like Samantha was there … but Dina was. Ick. I like Samantha WAY better than Dina as a date for Lindsers.

Also there: Jessica Szohr, Aubrey O’Day, Bethenny Frankel, and Julianna Margulies and her ridiculously hot, young lawyer husband. I want to perform open-pants surgery on him.
