Andy Cohen does himself no favors by changing the time of his show every other day. Especially on #TGIT! But I’ve put off HTGAWM because I desperately need a new and interesting post tonight and I’m counting on Jill Zarin to be ridiculous. Didn’t she just get in a car accident?
First of all, Jill looks AHH-MAZING. Seriously, this is the best I’ve ever seen her and she is really beautiful tonight. Andy of course starts by playing all the trash that Bethenny talked about her on the 100th episode of RHONY version of WWHL.
Jill says that she feels really bad that Bethenny feels the was she does about her. She did not have any intentions of doing anything to sabotage Bethenny. It hurts that Bethenny still seems angry. Jill says she misses Bethenny and wants to rekindle the friendship. Jesus, Jill, I am not missing out on HTGAWM for you to take the damn high road. Get in the mud! 
Rebecca asks Jill what the thinks about Bethenny on the show this past season. Jill said it seemed to her that Bethenny needed a friend like her during that time. She says that she felt like she was in a girl band while she was on RHONY and it always seemed like Bethenny wanted to be a solo act. Jill is incredibly…normal tonight.
Rebecca Romijn is DELIVERING though. She says about David’s affair that the woman came after him the day after they started shooting the show. She and her husband are famewhores who are dying to be cast. Stop it right now Rebecca! Andy doesn’t need any help sinking to new lows!
Jill is good friends with Dorinda. That makes lots of sense. Andy just said everyone is tweeting about how great Jill looks.
Jill says that everyone on the show knew Mario was cheating on Ramona. She didn’t say this but the filming in Morocco with the “psychic” who said she was cheating was clearly a production set up just like hiring a random dude to play psychic on RHOOC was also a set up.
Andy gives them the tacky thongs for playing a game. That sums up his feelings about them.
Andy asked why she didn’t do the RHONY 100th episode. He asks her why she said that they didn’t want her to come. Jill says she didn’t say that. She says that she FELT LIKE she wasn’t wanted. Andy says it must be exhausting to be Jill. Which really just serves to prove Jill’s point. EVERYONE knows Andy doesn’t car much for Jill since THIS INCIDENT !
I was really expecting a lot of drama from Jill tonight but she was actually awesome and a class act , even when Andy was being his usual shady self. Good show, Jill!
That’s the way to do plastic surgery. She looks great.
I liked Rebecca Romijn much better when she was Rebecca Romijn Stamos.
Me, too, Anastasia. And I’d watch if John Stamos was on. Full House 4eva ?
John stamos (autocorrected to stamps) looks hot and I am watching his grandfathered show just to look at him. It had funny moments too.
I was literally stunned at how beautiful Jill looked. Her doctor deserves some kind of award.
Thanks TT for giving Jill’s old hairstyle photo, it was nice to have the comparison right here!
Someone had a “Jose Nob.” Wish my girlfriend were alive to laugh her butt off!! RIP Lynn
Aww, I’m laughing my butt off in honor of your Lynn!!
OMG! She looks amazing! Never better!
Jill did look great!
Andy only had Jill appear on the show to clear up why she wasn’t on the NY 100th episode. He could care less about her car accident and movie. Jill did look great though.
WAIT! I just realized HE DIDN’T EVEN ASK ABOUT HER CAR ACCIDENT!
He is such a dick to her!
He was too busy being his dick-ish self to ask her about anything except Bethany. I tuned in to here what happened in the accident and how big was her role. It seems that since Bobby is really ill she has mellowed and man did she look amazing! I still can’t get over how pretty she was.
I want to back on RHONY
Jill kept herself in check cuz she’s dying to be recast. Nuff said.
WOW…aren’t you/people tired of beating that drum????
Who’s “you people” and what drum? You mean the constant drum beat of Jill trying to stay on teevee? THAT drum? Andy is more than willing to exploit her pathetic self for ratings. No one has ever said he loves women.
“You people” means you and others that THINK they know what Jill’s motivations for doing anything are. I certainly don’t know her and neither do you. Clearly you have bought into the poor little Bethenney story line. Given the vitriol in your responses, you would never be willing to accept that Jill can ever do anything correct/nice/for others, etc. (the drum). But as Bethenney, would say, this conversation is no longer interesting to me. Buh bye!
Who are you to talk about vitriol in JeJune’s response? You’re the one criticizing another commenter instead of gossiping about the celebrities like everyone else is doing.
I miss the OLD Jill on Housewives… as in 1st and 2nd season. But I call bullshit that she is clueless about why Bethenny was upset at her. She admitted it the last time she was on WWHL – the plan to have a “war” with B, and her even admitting that Andy told her it was a bad idea. Jill IS clueless as to why someone who felt a real friendship would be hurt – hell, she said she had Dorinda sitting next to her to “get” Ramona.
I guess I just remember watching B trying to apologize/make amends/resolve the issues in that apartment – and Jill was so harsh. B. leaning against the car and quietly crying just got to me. She needed B to be needy.
It is sad – because I think her shenanigans and concerns about storylines, etc. really ruined what could have been a lasting and beautiful friendship.
Bethenney was no friend to her. You cannot be someones best friend, talk to them every day, several times a day then just cut them off and not speak to them for 4 months. I would have felt betrayed as well. Bethenney was career driven and didn’t give a damn about anyone but her self and her book/business, etc. Unfortunately, Jill lost her mind and both ladies said and did things that were not flattering. I just don’t buy Bethenny’s BS anymore seeing the way she treated “the love of her life” and his family. Besides she finally admitted that her “friendships” were for the show and not real. Jill thought they were.
Oh puleeze. They both used each other and knew it going in. Jill just wants to regain the “friendship” so she can be on teevee again. They both played the game. Bethenny won, Jill lost. Dragging her lame ass back on WWHL for some faux …whatever. So pathetic.
You can’t be someone’s best friend, then decide to manufacture a major fight (over your husband’s cancer bout!) for a TV show and accuse them of not giving a shit when (a) you didn’t tell them the seriousness of it and (b) they actually did contact you/your husband. (oh, and wait to accuse them of heartlessness when there are cameras)
FYI – I think Jason was a passive aggressive douche. I had a happy childhood – but like Bethenny, I dislike being the center of attention at my birthday. I remember on B. Ever After that Jason INSISTED that B celebrate her birthday the way he would want to be celebrated – and threw her a surprise party even after she distinctly expressed her wishes. I probably would have reacted the same – or walked out. He caused her pain, and then SHE ended up apologizing for it. He was an ass.
Ultimately, so was Jill.
Honestly, they were mostly friendly coworkers, which is about as good as it gets among most of the HWs. Betheny’s career soared and Jill felt slighted. The girl band/solo act is a good analogy. Do you think for a second if the roles had been flipped that Jill would have pulled Betheny along for the ride? I don’t. Jill has a lovely husband and what looks like a nice life. Let the rest be and enjoy.
That’s what I don’t get either Swizzle. Jill is a true famewhore. She wants back on the show SO bad. She cannot stand not being “famous” despite having a lovely husband, daughter, home and real friends. I don’t doubt Jill has a nice life she just wants fame so bad. I don’t get it.
I remember that episode as well, and always wondered who was right about what really happened. Jill said that when Bobby had cancer (?), Bethenny didn’t ring and didn’t come to see him in hospital, and that’s why she was so hurt and angry.
Regarding Erica’s comment about Bethenny’s 40th. If you remember that episode accurately, I’m sure you also remember that it was B who went to her wedding planner to plan the party. All Jason did was surprise her with a cute apron thingy and she lost her ish. She wouldn’t even let Jason invite a few of his friends because it was HER party. Additionally, while B kept saying that Jason and Julie were pressuring her to have a party, we never actually saw them mention it before she started planning it. Now, if a guy came to me and said, “My wife keeps telling me she hates her birthday and doesn’t want me to do anything for her, but she’s getting our wedding planner to throw her a 40th birthday bash,” I would tell him he better do something amazing for her. Not to mention Kyle Richards and Bethenny have both talked about another birthday Bethenny had where she pitched a fit b/c her boyfriend didn’t do anything. I’m a former huge fan so nothing has gotten past me.
As for Jill, I think all these women are fame wh*res, and they’re all backstabbers, so I don’t understand why some are penalized for it and others aren’t. Jill was wrong in the fight with Bethenny. Bethenny has been wrong a thousand times over. And to this day, people still talk about Jill even though she’s been off the show for almost 5 years. If I were Jill I’d wash my hands of this franchise, but it would be crazy to think she won’t be good for ratings. We enjoy watching these women because they’re entertainment, not because they’re morally upright.
She looks great….. even though i couldn’t make her out. i believe she’s enjoying the joy of less drama and less competition. I admire her for persistently “asking for forgiveness’ from Bethenny but its time to let the dust settle. when some friendship die, we don’t need to resurrect the ramnants. Jill keeping moving on
I guess that I’m in the minority of viewers who always enjoyed Jill Zarin and found her both entertaining and savvy/smart, though there were aspects of her which caused me to cringe a little as well. Given Bethenny’s extremely tough experiences with her mother, I don’t think that she can afford to be hurt or to go through ups and downs with someone like Jill. They are a bit too strong of a reflection of one another, but I feel sad that their friendship couldn’t go the distance. Maybe one fine day they’ll decide mutually to try again.
Nope. I liked Jill Zarin, too. I felt she and Bethenny had a very genuine friendship at one point. I recently rewatched season one and it was quite hilarious watching them together. Bethenny imitating Jill’s yenta ways was really funny and they had great chemistry.
But as someone stated above, even the best of friends breakup sometimes.
I will say though, Jill does seem a bit sly sometimes. When she did her one on one with Andy and was recording it unbeknownst to him or his staff… That was pretty shady. She’s done a few things like that I have raised an eyebrow to.
But overall I do like Jill, very much. And I like Bethenny a lot, too. I doubt they will ever be close though. Too much damage has been done between them.
I always liked Jill. I think she was in denial about the seriousness of her husbands cancer and then took out all her anger on bethanny for not being there. Bethanny while doing a lot (book tour, new relationship, etc) should have made more of an effort as any cancer is deadly. Jill’s hair looks amazing.
Now that Bethenny has been named a co producer of the show (her name won’t appear on credits however), I suppose we won’t be seeing Jill. Unless of course, Bethenny is looking for ratings over who she likes or dislikes. Hopefully, a better season than last.
Of WWHL? or RHONY?
Do what? Since when? Is there a TT post I missed? Didn’t hear this anywhere but I don’t pay attention most of the time so…off to google again
Jill looks phenonemal! Maybe she will share, so we can all go out and get the same tune up?
I’m guessing most of can’t afford what Jill had done.
Jill does look great! Wow. I didn’t watch because Andy always makes me feel uncomfortable with people that he doesn’t really care for.
Jill looked awesome. I think a lot of had to do with really great make-up. I’ve becime obsessed with the whole contouring thing (though still trying to figure out how to do it myself). I could definitely see it on her cheeks and her nose when you looked at her straight on. Genius make-up artist.
Truly flawless makeup is everything. You should not otitis email the make up per say, just that the person wearing it is perfection. Jill used her own makeup person for this show, whoever Bravo has is terrible.
Jill looked great but I don’t think her inside matched her outside as usual. She was still Jill passive aggressive with her comment about Bethany’s show being cancelled and otherwise tiptoeing around questions trying to act likable. Always waiting to be on bravo again….?
Loved how Rebecca called her out on that.
I like Jill but she gets too be too much. This post was funny. I didn’t catch the show but now I want to see it.
Haven’t commented before, and this isn’t earthshaking, but about Jill and Dorinda: If you ever happen to be watching the RHONY rerun that involves Jill’s stepdaughter speaking at a a Jill-organized event for anti-bullying, you’ll see Dorinda at one of the tables. (That was the one, I think, when Ramona was bullying the wait staff about opening wine, or something like that.) Once you “know” Dorinda, she really stands out in a crowd.
Yes. Jill mentioned that on the WWH show. She said she sat Dorinda next to her at the time because she was unhappy with Ramona and she knew it would piss her off since Dorinda was a mutual friend. Totally a Jill move.
I just supervised 3rd grade recess, where two girls were calling out third, claiming that she had planned to crash their sleepover. Jill should hang with them, they are on the same wave length.
Jill looks amazing. I always liked her friendship with Bethany. Breakdowns happen and friendships grow apart but it just seemed so odd to me how after all those years Bethany just cut her off but that seems to be her MO. True friends would try to work it out. I like them both but Bethany is a hustler to the core and seems to do anything for the come up. I’m sick of Andy and bravo beating this dead horse.
It’s interesting that Jill had such a big hand in putting together the early casts, I can see why she feels slighted by Andy because he ultimately picked Bethenny over her. I think Jill just got too swept up in it all and lost sight of reality (ironic considering). She didn’t need the money, but she wanted the attention of being asked to represent brands, the manufacturing of the fake drama to get more airtime, she probably gave Andy an ultimatum at the end that didn’t go her way. She has a really nice life outside of all this Bravo crap that she should just be happy with.
