Kelly Bensimon Talks Bethenny & Cindy Barshop

Kelly Bensimon didn't exactly miss Bethenny Frankel while filming the new season of the Real Housewives of New York City.

You'd think it was because Bensimon was so over all their catfighting, but no...

"I only filmed with her a couple of times," Bensimon insisted to me earlier today. "I don't know her at all. I met her a couple of times. We create awesome television. But I wish her well. I don't know what else there is to say because I don't know her enough to say anything."

Frankel's replacement, hair removal queen Cindy Barshop, is a completely different story.

"Cindy's a rock star," Kelly gushed. "She really put the Housewives brand out of balance. She used to work at IBM. She's got 10 Completely Bare [hair removal spas] in New York alone. She's in her forties. She's got two unbelievable babies. She has an unbelievable family. She has set the bar so high."

Guess Bensimon really likes her.

"Who doesn't like a girl's girl who has it all, works her butt off and wears Martin Margiela?" she said. "She's hot, she's cool and she's easygoing."

Kelly Bensimon Wants A 'Beer And Wings' Guy

Kelly Bensimon doesn't look like the typical beer guzzler, but she'd rather have a hot date at a sports bar than at a Michelin-rated restaurant. The single Real Housewives of New York star, who divorced fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon in 2007, admits she wants a guy who can fit into her laid-back lifestyle.

"I want a guy who can kick back and grab a few beers and wings at the bar. I don't need all the fancy restaurants," Bensimon told PopEater at the screening of 'happythankyoumoreplease' in New York.

"You can say, I have a much different taste in men than LuAnn [de Lesseps]," she joked.

The fourth season of Real Housewives of New York City is set to premiere on April 7, and Bensimon says this season is "completely different" now that Bethenny Frankel is gone.

"Everything is more real ... it's like a brand new 'Housewives,'" she reveals.

Although she wouldn't reveal much more, she firmly stands by her word that this is "the best season ever."

According to Bravo, the gals (Kelly, Alex, Jill, LuAnn, Ramona and Sonja) take a glamorous trip to Morocco and welcome a new housewife, Cindy Barshop, who is known for her Completely Bare hair removal spas.

Get the Pinot Grigio (and maybe a beer) ready because it sounds like a fabulous season awaits.

Real Housewives of NY Premiere Date Finally Set

Get ready for more Big Apple drama, Housewives fans!

After a sudden schedule switcheroo in February that bumped the Real Housewives of New York City's fourth season premiere in favor of the Real Housewives of Miami's debut, the New York women finally have a premiere date.

Come April 7, Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon, Sonja Morgan and newcomer Cindy Barshop will be back on the air, the network announced via their BravoTV.com The Dish blog Monday.

"From the gang's glamorous jaunt to Morocco, to our already-favorite dig "thug in a cocktail dress" (delivered by the ultimate messenger, Alex McCord), to the Countess finding love again, the new season will definitely be worth the wait," the Bravo blog post read.

Brooklyn-based cast member McCord agrees, and tells Us Magazine fans should clear their calendars for Thursday nights.

"I think this is definitely the best season so far," McCord tells Us. "[But] there was no way they were going to get [editing] done in time."

The Real Housewives of New York City premieres April 7 at 10 p.m. (EST) on Bravo.
