With the entire cast of ratings-plagued RHONY on chopping block, only RadarOnline.com has all the details about how the ladies are coping with the rumors and who has offered to work free to save her job!“Every year they say people will be fired. They’ll put that out in the news because they always need new girls,” an insider told Radar, insisting that “the cast mates aren’t fired”— at least, not yet.
And while the final lineup is still undecided, that doesn’t mean that the ladies of Manhattan aren’t feeling the pressure.
“They’re all not sure to have jobs,” the source said. And now, Radar has learned, one Housewife agreed to film for free!
Countess Luann DeLesseps “is not getting paid this season,” the source claimed. “She had to suck it up because they didn’t want pay her. She just wasn’t bringing it. This year she got fearful so she threw Sonja under the bus.”
Also on the chopping block is newbie Kristen Taekman. “She says she’s a model,” the source sniffed of Taekman, 36. “The models I know are old at 24! It’s sad, but true!”
“She says she’s got modeling job for workout video,” source continued. “It’s not modeling job. [Person who hired her] doing it to get his product promoted.”
The insider insists that series vet Ramona is sure to stay, with Sonja too. “When it’s time to do negotiations Ramona and Sonja would be the first to know,” the source claimed.
“There is no show without Ramona and Sonja. Sonja is the funny sex pot, and Ramona’s the one who throws glasses.”
But with changes likely and the final cast uncertain, one thing is for sure: Money is likely to be a sticking point. Says the source, “It always comes down to the money.”
<3 luann!

Sonja's latest blog post is a long one. Sonja's blog entry addressed many different things, including her friendship with LuAnn and how much of a better party hostess she is than co-stars Kristen and Carole because she has so much more experience.
In a recent episode, LuAnn blasted Sonja for not coming to her defense when Sonja's esthetician said on camera that LuAnn had been with a Johnny Depp look-alike in St. Barth's and that she prefers short French men with thick accents. LuAnn believed that as her friend, Sonja should have stopped what her esthetician said. LuAnn later said in her recap that she treated Sonja like a family member only to be treated like a disposable friend in return.
Sonja said that she and LuAnn have only been friends for five or six years who hang out socially. She also denied LuAnn's claim that she allowed the gossip because she's jealous. "Obviously I'm not jealous of her. I always want her happy," she wrote.
Sonja also used the blog to brag about what a great party hostess she is and to promote her Sonja In the City event planning business. While she won't say that Kristen and Carole are bad hostesses, they simply don't have the same experience as her. She wrote that she has dinner at her home, usually for five or more people, and dinner parties for big groups last minute.

Kristen and Heather got into a fight over geocaching, of all things. Now Kristen regrets the way she treated Heather.
"I was exhausted from the late nights and early mornings and all of that damn drinking!" Kristen explained on her Bravo blog. "I was getting beat down by all of the woman commenting on being a shit hostess. And well ... the new girl lost it in the woods. Yup, lost it. It was like a pressure cooker and I exploded and I took it out on Heather -- and looked a little crazy. Oops sorry, Heather, my bad."
While her half-hearted apology seemed a little insincere in last night's episode, she admits that she's sorry for misguiding her frustration at Heather.
"Fighting or arguing sucks and when it is a friend it makes it worse," Kristen wrote. "I am happy Heather and I were able to make up. I know that I was projecting and I took my frustration out on Heather. I felt bad watching the episode because I was mean to Heather. I am just fortunate to have her as a friend and how supportive she was. Also sorry for not defending Jonathan."

Bravo in Canada has set a July 13 launch for its latest original unscripted series, The People's Couch, based on the U.K. hit Gogglebox.
The original Gogglebox series was commissioned by Channel 4 in the U.K. from Studio Lambert. It was adapted in the U.S. for Bravo by Studio Lambert and all3media America as The People's Couch. The series is now set for Bravo Canada, where it will air Sundays. The reality show features groups of TV fans reacting to and commenting on buzzy shows.
“The People's Couch is an honest, raw and compelling program which has resonated with audiences around the world,” said Catherine MacLeod, the senior VP of specialty channels and Bell Media Production. “It’s the perfect addition to Bravo’s stable of clever and immersive programming.”
“I came across this phenomenon when I was looking for an innovative new format,” said Thomas Howe, executive producer on The People's Couch. “Shortly after Gogglebox premiered in the U.K., I was impressed by the reaction of fans who demanded more episodes ASAP. Watching people watch television is surprisingly compelling and we are thrilled to bring this deceptively simple and highly addictive show to Bravo.”
