With Bethenny Frankel nude photos on the way, rival Kelly Killoren Bensimon has to do something to one-up her co-star.

Enter Playboy.

The Real Housewives of New York City vixen will pose partially nude in the December issue of Playboy. According to an insider, ex-husband Gilles Bensimon actually took the photos.

“Kelly is a former model, so she will be a natural,” said a source.

We gotta admit: we wouldn't mind seeing the birthday suit version of the bikini babe below:

Bethenny Frankel may be preparing to slam Kelly Bensimon in a new book, but The Real Housewife of New York City doesn't seem to mind.

She's busy with a rumored new man.

Witnesses told Life & Style that Kelly has been spending time with Uma Thurman's ex-boyfriend, André Balazs.

The pair cozied up to one another on July 17 at a hotel in South Beach, as sources say Balazs and Bensimon were holding hands while dancing, laughing and sharing drinks at a VIP table.

The next night, these two were spotted at André's hotel, The Raleigh, cuddling by the pool and making no secret of their affection for one another.

It's a sentiment not exactly echoed by Kelly's reality TV co-stars.

Bethenny Frankel is leaving The Real Housewives of New York City for her very own reality show.

But she isn't leaving her feud with former co-star Kelly Killoren Bensimon behind.

Sources have confirmed to Life & Style that Frankel is writing a new book, one that will detail her hatred of Bensimon.

"Bethenny is writing a new book that will deal with their animosity," an insider told the tabloid. "Instead of food, this time it'll be about romance and money and friends and getting rid of all those voices in your head that are trying to tear you down. It's going to be a hot read."

It sure sounds that way... not!

A pair of Real Housewives are facing real problems already this week.

First, Kelly Bensimon has been ordered to two days of community service for beating up her ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Stefanov, in an apartment attack in March.

Outside court today, The Real Housewives of New York City star said she only protected her family and "justice was served." Inside, the judge ruled that Kelly can't harm or threaten her former flame in any way.

Bensimon's misdemeanor assault charges will be erased if she completes her service and keeps out of trouble for a year.

Jeana Keough, meanwhile, may be out of reality TV... forever!

Danielle Staub may have been a drug-addicted stripper in a former life, but, hey, who is Kelly Bensimon to judge?

In response to the controversy surrounding Staub, Bensimon is showing sympathy to her fellow Housewife.

“Everybody deserves a second chance,” Kelly told People. “If you’ve made a mistake in life, you have two choices, you can either sit in the Lazy-Boy and eat popcorn and talk about it, or you can get out and do something fun. And I think that’s what she’s doing. I like her courage.”

On the recent Real Housewives of New York reunion, Jill Zarin suggested that Kelly Bensimon not to do another season of the Bravo series because it was hurting her family's image.

But family, schmamly! Bensimon says she's excited to return.

"I think it would be really fun to come back for another season," she told Us Weekly. "I really enjoyed all the women - I think they're all so unique. I really enjoyed spending time with them and getting to know them."

Kelly even shrugged off her feud with Bethenny Frankel - saying "a fight is a fight, who cares?" - and expounded on her profound life views.

"I had a really great time doing it, and it's just another adventure," Bensimon said of her time on the show. "Life is an adventure. You have two choices - you can sit or you can be in it. I like to be in it."

And staying at home with one's family? Come on.That doesn't count as being in life at all!

According to Bethenny Frankel, the claws come out on tonight's Real Housewives of New York City reunion.

"It's like Vietnam," the star somehow told Us Weekly. "I keep having flashbacks from it. Everything came out and it was off the rails. Really, absolutely crazy."

On the special - which airs prior to the premiere of The Real Housewives of New Jersey - the woman address a series of topics, from Kelly Bensimon's alleged attack on her younger boyfriend to Ramona Singer insulting Countess LuAnn de Lesseps over her ex's age.

Regarding her feud with Frankel, Bensimon said:

"Honestly, I don't hate her. I actually really respect her. It's not easy trying to start a business and be single in New York.... We can be cordial. I'm not going to go out of my way to, like, be a bitch."

We'll see how long that lasts for.

Sorry, Bethenny Frankel. But Kelly Bensimon says she has every intention of returning for another season of The Real Housewives of New York City.

Despite not having received confirmation from producers that she'll be asked back, let's be realistic: Kelly's drama was the best part of season two, which concluded last week. She recently spoke on her nemesis with E! News.

"Bethenny was smart," Kelly said. "She fought with the new girl. She got press and she got airtime. She was smart. She did what she sought out to do."

The same can't totally be said for Bensimon, who claims viewers never saw her true self.

"I wish I had been more open, and I wish I hadn't been so guarded, because me being guarded comes across as not nice," she said. "I want people to come and enjoy the awesome life that I've created."

We can't resist. See you on season three, Kelly!

Kelly Killoren Bensimon might star on The Real Housewives of New York City.

But her breasts are as fake as, well, the scripted drama on The Real Housewives of New York City.

The following photo of Bensimon is making its way around the Internet. It depicts the reality star at an NYC event, alongside Gabrielle Reece and her husband, Laird Hamilton.

Someone might wanna keep Kelly abreast of a certain issue she appears to be having with her chest...

This just in: Kelly Bensimon likes Bethenny Frankel!

Or she doesn't hate every fiber of her being, at least.

"Honestly, I don't hate her," Bensimon told Us Weekly this week. "I actually really respect her. It's not easy trying to start a business and be single in New York."

Bensimon added that she does not "go out of my way to, like, be a bitch," despite mounting evidence to the contrary.

"I think we're both just strong women and we butt heads," Kelly said. "But ultimately it's really nothing I lose sleep over... I think a lot of people are scared of her, and well, I'm not scared of her. And I refuse to put up with her s--t."

Soothing words of non-hate indeed.
