Since Bravo gave Jill Zarin and Alex McCord the boot, they're able to pay LuAnn de Lesseps and Ramona Singer the big bucks!

Normally paid $275,000 for 16 episodes, both Real Housewives of New York stars are now being paid $500,000 to tape 18 episodes.

That's almost $28,000 an episode!!! Just think of all the jewelry they can buy now!

But of course, there's already gossip that the new girls are complaining about the difference in pay.

According to an insider:

Okay. This amount of desperation just went from sad and embarrassing to obnoxious and bizarre!

After Real Housewives of New York's recently fired Alex McCord and her husband, Simon Van Kempen, have been doing everything they can to get back on the reality series and subsequently denied, they decided to stamp their feet and give a completely WHACKED OUT, delusional interview to Good Morning America this morning!

Check it out (above)!

And don't miss the part where Simon cries! Yes. That happens.

Ugh. All the more reason we're happy to see them go.

They are just way too out there!

And speaking of…the much more watchable and kooky Kelly Bensimon has finally released a statement regarding her exit from the series, and kept it much more succinct, dignified, and thoughtful!

She writes:

This is just getting sad. Time to let it go!

Although Alex McCord and her husband, Simon Van Kempen, were fired from the new season of The Real Housewives of New York City, the pair are apparently so desperate to stay on that they have planned to meet with boss Andy Cohen in a last-ditch attempt to stay on the reality series!

However, Andy has no intention of doing so, but - in probably a pity move - he apparently is willing to play nice and let them know that he'd like for them to make occasional guest appearances on the network!

Well, that didn't take long at all, did it?

Out with the old, in the new!

Although Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Kelly Bensimon, and Cindy Barshop were only just booted from the new season of The Real Housewives of New York City, sources close to production have revealed that three new ladies have already signed on - and although they've yet to be confirmed, they already sound like a breath of fresh air!

Apparently these rumored newbies include

We do have to commend her! She dodged that bullet BIG TIME!

As everyone knows, Bethenny Frankel smartly used her time on Real Housewives of New York to promote her business ventures, and willingly left after the fourth season for her own spin-off, while the rest of the cast continued on and essentially descended into incessant, nasty squabbling and screaming over one another for an entire season.

As a result, Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Kelly Bensimon and Cindy Barshop have all been axed, but instead of gloating or sticking it to them, the Skinnygirl herself is instead taking the high road when asked to comment on it all!

She reveals:

We've been hearing rumblings about four of the ladies leaving and even cast member Sonja Morgan confirmed it herself. But now Bravo has made the official announcement that Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Kelly Bensimon, and Cindy Barshop will NOT be returning to Season 5.

A spokesperson for the network announced:

So sad that they all were so desperate to save face and pretend that nothing was set in stone!

We all saw this coming!

Despite statements from Jill Zarin and Alex McCord claiming that they were still in negotiations to continue on the Real Housewives of New York City, returning castmember and our heart's desire Sonja Morgan, confirmed today that she had spoken to a producer, and they have, in fact, been axed - alongside Cindy Barshop and Kelly Bensimon!
