CONFIRMED! Bravo Fires Cast Members From RHONY!

REALLY?! This has caught me totally off guard!

BRAVO Television has confirmed that there will be a major shakeup on the cast of Real Housewives of New York next season. So, what does that shakeup entail?

Well, Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, Alex McCord and Cindy Barshop are OFF the show (seriously? these 4, of all people? they bring most of the drama to the cast!).

"Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, and LuAnn DeLesseps will be returning for season five of The Real Housewives of New York City. We've had a fabulous run with all the ladies and appreciate them sharing their lives with our viewers. It is a friendly departure among the other ladies and we continue to have ongoing discussions with them."

Ongoing discussions, eh? That can only mean possible spinoff shows for the other ladies, right?

Well, Patti Stanger of Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker tweeted the following after the announcement was official:

"Hey @Jillzarin fans: don't panic, she may have a show of her own...stay tuned!"

Hmmmmm. I knew Bravo wouldn't just let Jill go about her merry way. She was pretty much the star of the show since Bethenny Frankel's departure with her own spin-off.

Guess we'll have to wait patiently and see what Bravo will cook up for us!
