Top 5 Thursdays - The Real Housewives Edition!

Many of you are aware that I am DYING to meet a celebrity, and that my feeble attempts have resulted in some pretty close calls.  I mean - Vince Vaughn filmed a movie NEXT DOOR to me, and Shia LeDumbass LaBeouf and Patrick Dempsey were recently spotted ACROSS the street from me.  Additionally, I attempt to "tweet" with celebs, to no avail.   And I am currently green with envy because the lovely Tara, of that's why her hair is so big, has celebs like Heather McDonald reading her blog. (Hi Heather!  I loved your book!)


When is it my turn???


SO, I've decided to turn this Thursday's Top 5 list into a very self-promoting, self-indulgent list.  Because, I WILL get the attention of the celebs on my list, come hell or high water.

My Top 5 Favorite Real Housewives...

Disclaimer:  Just in case my 500 attempts to grab the attention of these ladies on Twitter actually works, I have to say that they really are ALL of my favorites - there is no ranking system:)

5. Kim Zolciak (Atlanta)

I have to say it - "Tardy for the Party" totally won me over (Eat your heart out, Countess LuAnn).  I don't care how big her hair is, or how many times she gets engaged to Big Poppa - I love me some Kim.  She's wild, she's crazy and she stands up to the other Atlanta crazies.  Rock on with your bad self, Kim. 

4. Ramona Singer (New York)

Ramona, as you know, has "renewed" herself this season, and I just love it.  She's funny and feisty and loves her pinot, and she constantly makes me laugh.  Especially when she gets wasted.  And walks in fashion shows.

3. Alex McCord (New York)

Besides being totally gorgeous, graceful AND finding her voice on this season, Alex gets major cool points because of her hubby, the illustrious Simon VanKempen (who, BTW, started following me on Twitter!).  He wears red pleather pants, she calls Jill a "mean girl", and what can I say?  They stole my Brooklyn-loving heart.  

2. Caroline Manzo (New Jersey)

"You mess with my family, you mess with me."  How can you NOT love this tough little Italian woman?  Despite the "love & light" that Danielle has spread throughout New Jersey, Caroline knew all along what a snake she really was (as well as half of the U.S.).  Personally, I'd love to get Caroline in a room with some other crazy housewives (I'm taking to YOU, Kelly) and bitch-slap them show them some tough love.

1. BETHENNY!  (New York)

God love this woman.  She's smart, sassy and quick as a whip.  I have adored Bethenny's no-nonsense attitude since day one, when she was besties with Jill and dating Jason #1.  If anyone watches her spin-off, "Bethenny Getting Married", you may have bawled like a baby watching her recent wedding and birth of her daughter, Bryn.  Am I the only one???  Anywho, one of my recent favorite Bethenny moments came when her water broke in last week's episode.  While she is furiously trying to pack a bag and tell her assistant to buy a crib, her husband Jason is calling friends and family.  Her annoyed response?  "We didn't just get engaged!  I have water coming out of my vagina."


Clearly, I need a life.

Are you a housewives fan?  Who are some of your faves?

P.S.  I participated in Micaela's "Coffee Meet-Up" this week.  Go check it out here.  She is a DOLL!
