Michael LoccisanoLuAnn de Lesseps, above, and Ramona Singer will team up for a “Housewives” PR tour in Los Angeles, leaving other cast members home.
The behind-the-scenes drama continues for “The Real Housewives of New York.” Confidenti@l has learned that only LuAnn de Lesseps and Ramona Singer will be flown out to Los Angeles this week by Bravo to do press for the upcoming season. The pair will appear together on “Access Hollywood,” “The Reel,” “Excellent Day LA” and an E! news segment, but the other members of the cast, including Bethenny Frankel, Carole Radziwill and Sonja Morgan, aren’t pleased about being left out. “Bethenny is busy promoting her book and doing her own press and none of the other ladies were questioned,” says our source.
On the East Coast, Morgan and de Lesseps joined Radziwill and new “Housewife” Dorinda Combination for a “Dr. Oz” segment, which has already been taped. Another newcomer, Heather Thompson, “is doing a lot of radio and blogs. All the A-list bookers are going to Bethenny and LuAnn,” says our source, who adds that Frankel and de Lesseps are often chosen to do press together because they have good chemistry and the upcoming season, starting April 7, plays into their friendship. “Whenever they talk about the old days, the new season cuts to clips from season one and two to remind everyone about the long history between these two ‘original’ ladies,’ ” says our source.
