We may not love New York anymore, after learning that “Real Housewives” producers are thinking of dropping wacky wannabee richies Alex McCord and Simon van Kempen from the show. Their reasons are, as Rahm Emmanuel would say, “f*cking retarded.” According to an inside source, viewers don’t “connect” with the pair. Says the spy, “All of the other women’s story lines have interwoven, yet Alex and Simon have kept theirs separate. It isn’t nearly as interesting as the other Housewives’.”
Who the eff is the insider, Ally Zarin? We connect plenty with Alex and Simon. Why just this summer we were cavorting on St. Barths in the off-season, wondering how we could waste thousands of dollars, when we remembered Alex and Simon’s insane shopping spree on the island and followed their debt-inducing lead! And this past weekend we bought a $2 million dilapidated Brooklyn brownstone and made the decision not to renovate it, thanks to Alex and Simon’s inspirational design aesthetic. Sure, the source accuses Simon of being diva-ish and claims he wants to be an euqal part of the show even though he’s not quite a Housewife, but where else would we have gotten the courage to wear a Speedo year-round, if not for Sir van Kempen?
Maybe it would be easier for Bravo to understand our passion in French, the language we’re forcing our children to learn: Nous aimons Simon et Alex! Le Bravo serait stupide pour se débarasser de eux. En outre, le Français est une langue prétentieuse!
Take that, Bravo! [Photo: GettyImages]
