Kelly Killoren Bensimon
News

Forget The Real Housewives.

Fans must prepare themselves for The Real NAKED Housewives!

Playboy has released the cover shot of its March issue, which features Kelly Bensimon. You won't be seeing this star's vagina in the magazine, but you will be seeing her covering her naked body with a ribbon apparently:

Meanwhile, fellow Housewife Danielle Staub would love to follow in Kelly's bare footsteps... if only an offer were actually on the table.

"If Playboy asked I’d say ABSOLUTELY," she said to Hollywoodlife.com "It’s something I’d really like to do, especially as a woman of 47... I’d keep it super classy and really sexy.”

We're not sure about either of those claims. Do you wanna see Staub naked?

Yes, Kelly Bensimon is posing in the March issue of Playboy. The Real Housewives of New York City star will be featured in a six-page pictorial.

But, no, you won't be seeing everything there is to see on the reality star... if you know what we mean.

"I don't think that part of a woman's body is really evocative," Kelly told E! News this week. "The roundness of the hips, the buttocks, the breast, the shoulders, the clavicle, the hair, the teeth - those are things that I think are most evocative and provocative parts of the body.

"So I don't think it's really necessary to show that. Some people might think it's necessary, but it wasn't for me."

We actually agree... though if Megan Fox wanted to prove us wrong, we wouldn't object.

As for why she posed for the spread, Bensimon didn't cite the big pay-out she received for it. Instead, she crowned herself a major role model:

"I'm 41. It's a great image for the rest of the world. Yes, you can have it all. You can have two kids, you can be in shape and you can really enjoy life."

In closing, Kelly insists this topless shoot had nothing to do with any competition with Bethenny Frankel, who appeared in a "I'd Rather Go Naked" ad for PETA.

"No! Different opportunities come to different people. That's not me. I don't play that game," Bensimon said.

Following in the bare footsteps of castmate Bethenny Frankel, Kelly Bensimon will pose nude in the March issue of Playboy.

A rep for the magazine says the Real Housewives of New York star "will be featured on the cover and in a 6-page nude pictorial."

The photographer who shot Kelly for the spread is familiar: it's her ex-husband Gilles Bensimon, a well-known fashion photographer.

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.
