<p>The former star of <em>The Real Housewives of New York City</em> flaunted her enviable figure, as she strutted along West Palm Beach in Florida wearing the same white Letarte bikini Upton wore on her <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2013-02-08/kate-upton-goes-to-antarctica-but-forgets-her-bikini-top/" target="_blank">second <em>Sports Illustrated</em> Swimsuit Issue cover</a>.</p>
<p>Despite turning heads in the sexy suit, the 44-year-old admitted to fans that she can&#8217;t hold a candle to the buxom blonde.</p>
<p><span id="more-14711412"></span></p>

<p>&#8220;I decided to feed my mind with education, and instead of going to a bigger school, I wanted to show the rest of the world that everyone can get educated online,&#8221; the 44-year-old Columbia grad told <a href="Celebuzz.com"><strong>Celebuzz</strong></a> at Saturday&#8217;s 2013 Kettleball Kickboxing Fitness Gala in New York City. &#8220;So I chose Northeastern University [in Boston.]&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-14222612"></span>When the former fashion model isn&#8217;t hitting the books, she&#8217;s writing them. Bensimon also told us that she has a new book coming out, titled <em>In the Spirit of the Hamptons</em>, just in time for Memorial Day. And this isn&#8217;t her first time being published — her recent titles include <em>The Bikini Book</em> and <em>I Can Make You Hot!: The Supermodel Diet</em>.</p>
<div class="cleaner">Speaking of being hot, Bensimon revealed her secrets for keeping her body so rockin&#8217; — and gave tips on how we can do the same. Hint: She loves to run the stairs in high heels! Ouch!</div>

<p>For three seasons, the author, jewelry designer and former model duked it out with her <em>Real Housewives of New York</em> cast mates, including <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/bethenny-frankel" target="_blank"><strong>Bethenny Frankel</strong></a>. One of their epic showdowns still stands as one of the series&#8217; highest-rated episodes.</p>
<p>“We were cast mates on a television show, I have absolutely no issues with her,” Bensimon told <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com" target="_blank"><strong>Celebuzz</strong></a> on Saturday at the 2013 Kettleball Kickboxing Fitness Gala in New York City.</p>
<p>“They asked me to blast her . . . I got paid, and I did. That doesn’t mean I don’t like her, it’s just like, that’s what you do.”</p>
<p>Bensimon also opened up about Frankel’s recent divorce from <strong>Jason Hoppy</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-14219751"></span></p>
<p>“I obviously empathize with everyone that’s going through a horrible time, especially a divorce,” she said.</p>
<p>“It’s a very, very difficult time.”</p>
<p>The Rockford, Ill. native also gave her opinion on reality TV and what she had to fight for on <em>Housewives</em>.</p>
<p>“Coming to New York was such a big dream for me, and I really didn’t like how they were shattering these dreams on how awesome New York was. I was very proactive about making it clear that New York is an amazing city and women are not like [<em>The Real Housewives</em>] in New York.”</p>

<p>The 44-year-old<em> The Real Housewives of New York</em> alum explained it plain and simple: “If you’re gonna eat more, exercise more,&#8221; Bensimon told <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/" target="_blank">Celebuzz</a> </strong>at Jingle Ball in New York. &#8220;It&#8217;s really common sense.&#8221;</p>
<p>But holiday season can make that rule of thumb a bit more tricky.</p>
<p><span id="more-13522741"></span></p>
<p>“I go to these parties and I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Oh, I&#8217;ll have a couple of extra cookies,&#8217;&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>The mother-of-two &#8212; and former model, fashion designer, and editor of ELLE accessories who was featured in <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/cp/101hotbodies/" target="_blank">Celebuzz&#8217;s 101 Hot Bodies</a> for her exceptionally sculpted physique &#8212; said that the key to getting your butt to the gym is to focus on the benefits.</p>
<p>&#8220;I know you don&#8217;t want to exercise more, but it actually makes you feel better. So when you do go to the parties, you&#8217;re more engaged,&#8221; she added.</p>

<p>Originally listed for $12 million, the two-story mansion, which includes five bedrooms, three fireplaces, a heated pool and an artist’s studio, sold last week for $5.76 million, the <em><a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/real-estate/real-housewife-kelly-bensimon-sells-hampton-home-article-1.1210099" target="_blank">New York Daily News</a></em> reports.</p>
<p>Bensimon, 44, bought the house in the 1980s.</p>
<p><span id="more-13352351"></span>“She wasn’t sure she really wanted to sell the house, so we put it on [sale] for an absurd amount of money. We rented it for great prices two summers in a row. She just felt now was the right time to sell . . . it’s time to move on,” <strong>Enzo Morabito</strong>, who represented Bensimon in the sale, told the <em>Daily News</em>.</p>
<p>The rustic property spans 1.2 acres, with interior space totaling some 5,800 square feet.</p>
<p>Other highlights include a pond, “oversized” bonus guest room, powder room, a master suite with a fireplace and private terrace and ample entertaining space.</p>
<p>Bensimon, who was on <em>The Real Housewives of New York City</em> from Seasons 2 to 4, released a lifestyle book, <em>I Can Make You Hot</em>, earlier this year.</p>

<p>The 44-year-old reality TV star-turned-author &#8212; <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2012-08-13/audrina-patridge-cheryl-burke-alexis-bellino-celebuzzs-101-hot-bodies-countdown-continues-with-no-75-51/" target="_blank">who ranked No. 51 on the Celebuzz 101 Hot Bodies countdown</a> &#8212; revealed this and more in her exclusive video interview with <strong>Celebuzz</strong>.</p>
<p>Among the other tidbits: Bensimon shares her secrets to the perfect workout, which she says is more about the quality and less about the amount of time you spend getting into shape.</p>
<p><span id="more-11633082"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;A good workout is something, for me, that allows you the freedom to let your mind relax, and to release endorphins. That&#8217;s when you&#8217;re getting a good workout.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I was kind of expecting it,&#8221; she tells <strong>Celebuzz</strong>. &#8220;By season four I didn’t want to play the game but Bravo was amazing. They didn’t pressure me to be with anyone, they let me be myself and as a result people said, ‘She’s the voice of reason.’ I just did the scenes I wanted to do and walked out when I felt like it.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-10496591"></span></p>
<p>After her departure, the 44-year-old quickly went on to pen her new book, <em>I Can Make You Hot!</em> in which she claims, &#8220;everyone is inherently hot and through all the mistakes I’ve made and my experts, I can make anyone hot.&#8221;</p>
<p>The book came about when the single mother of two discovered that her fanmail were always filled personal questions about where she got her hair done or what she ate for breakfast and what she was wearing, rather than her spat with <strong>Ramona Singer</strong> or <strong>Bethenny Frankel</strong>. She soon realized that there was a book there.</p>
<p>The 6 foot stunner says that when she started modeling she was pressured to always lose ten pounds.</p>
<p>&#8220;So I made a lot of mistakes like just eating one apple a day and going on the white diet which was eating white food all day long or juicing and then eating carbs afterwards and being in a food coma,&#8221; she recalls. &#8220;So there are a lot of really bad diet mistakes that I’ve made along the way.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bensimon explains that her book is an &#8220;eating plan, an eating uniform.&#8221; She says we should all treat our bodies like a Ferrari which means fueling your body sensibly, drinking lots of water and exercising every day but having one day off a week to enjoy the foods you like but shouldn’t have every day.</p>
<p>As for her famous stage four breakdown?</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to apologize to all the fans,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I wish I had never said it was a break through. I want to apologize to the fans for not being open and honest and saying. ‘Listen I was in a situation that I didn’t feel comfortable with. There were things that were happening that I didn’t want to be a part of. I really regret on the reunion for being evasive.&#8221;</p>
<p>Even though she did receive a lot of flak for her ‘break-through’, Kelly doesn’t regret being on the show at all.</p>
<p>“It was an amazing platform,” she says. “I wouldn’t be on the phone with you today if it wasn’t for <em>Housewives</em>. Also, I think it was a really good experience to show girls that you don’t have to be friends with everybody and there‘s nothing wrong with having your own opinion. If you don’t like someone, you can tell them, &#8216;I really don’t appreciate you talking to me like that.&#8217; I got a ton of flack for being well-grounded and having a lot of integrity but I don’t care.”</p>

Case in point: She&#8217;s currently promoting her fourth (!) book, the lifestyle guide <em>I Can Make You HOT! The Supermodel Diet</em>, in which she dishes on all of the healthy diet and nutrition secrets she learned throughout her life.</p>
<p>Kelly, of course, is also a mother of two daughters &#8212; <strong>Sea</strong>, 12, and <strong>Teddy</strong>, 9 &#8212; from her previous marriage to photographer <strong>Gilles Bensimon</strong>. And while she&#8217;s actively writing and promoting her book, Kelly &#8212; who is single &#8212; says she&#8217;s still dating, and still has high hopes for her love life.</p>
<p><span id="more-10415671"></span></p>
<p>As she tells Celebuzz exclusively:</p>
<blockquote><p>Right after I got divorced, I went on <em>Housewives</em> and I met some guys in New York who were not exactly great people with good intentions. I had a really, really difficult time navigating through the dating scene, just because, for some reason, being on television attracts the wrong people &#8230; I want to expose [my daughters] to people I care about, not people who are trying to take me for a ride. As a result, I&#8217;m really strict about dating, and I&#8217;m really strict about who I walk around with and who I introduce my children to.</p></blockquote>
<p>Still, despite a few bumps in the road, Kelly &#8212; who is about to celebrate her 44th birthday &#8212; says her daughters actively encourage her to get out there on the dating scene.</p>
<p>&#8220;[My daughters are] like, you and daddy aren&#8217;t going to get married. You  need to find a boyfriend and have a life,&#8221; she added. &#8220;They want a  sibling. They want [me to have] a baby so badly,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;My youngest is, like, mommy, I think you should date that lifeguard,&#8221; she quipped. &#8220;I&#8217;m like, &#8216;He&#8217;s 18 years old. He&#8217;s seven years older than you. He could be my son.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kelly, who admits she never thought she&#8217;d get divorced, says that she, too, wants to get married again someday.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just want to have a photo album filled with a husband, a wife and babies and kids and dogs and just a real life that I grew up with. That&#8217;s what I want for my kids, and that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m really looking for,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel good. When you feel good, good things happen, right?&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Obviously, Kelly has every reason to feel good, due in great part to the success of <em>I Can Make You HOT!</em> As Kelly explains, the lifestyle guide &#8212; which hit stands on Tuesday &#8212; is &#8220;more about nurturing and less about starvation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m from the Midwest,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We don&#8217;t starve. We drink beer, we hang out with friends, we laugh &#8230;We have a great time.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I really want to encourage everyone to have a healthy relationship with food,&#8221; she said. &#8220;People are talking about friendships with boundaries &#8212; [This is] food with boundaries,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>With a helpful, seven-day guide, Kelly &#8212; who has teamed up with Hpnotiq for her book tour &#8212; offers a number of fun tips and recipes in <em>HOT!</em> (Short for &#8220;Healthy Options Today&#8221;) on how to achieve a healthy relationship with food.</p>
<p>One of those recipes is the &#8220;Kelly Gummi Bear Martini,&#8221; which Kelly was kind enough to share exclusively with <strong>Celebuzz</strong>. Check out the recipe below, then be sure to pick up a copy of <em>I Can Make You HOT! The Supermodel Diet</em>, on stands now!</p>
<blockquote><p>Kelly Gummi Bear Martini</p>
<p>2 Parts Premium Vodka</p>
<p>1.5 Parts Hpnotiq</p>
<p>.5 parts white grape juice</p>
<p>Splash of cranberry juice</p>
<p>Gummi bears, as many as you like</p>
<p>Combine the vodka, Hpnotiq, grape juice in a shaker, shake well, pour<br />
into highball glass over ice and add a splash of club soda and a splash<br />
of cranberry, add Gummi bears!</p></blockquote>

<p>This past weekend, we saw her hit the sand in a multi-color string bikini with a circular pattern, today she&#8217;s got the blues in bright monochromatic beach wear.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Which style do you like best? Vote in our poll! <span id="more-10077052"></span></p>
<p>Kelly is currently working on her book &#8212; she says it will focus&nbsp;on her past mistakes and the positive things she’s learned from each experience instead. The book is slated to his shelves this April.</p>
<p>Now that she&#8217;s no longer with the Housewives franchise, <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2011-10-21/kelly-bensimons-post-housewives-plans-get-married-and-have-a-baby/">she told&nbsp;<strong>Celebuzz</strong></a> she would not be opposed to doing another reality show.</p>
<p>“I love reality TV. It has been a really good platform for me, and I’ve had so much fun. Whatever comes my way, I’m going to keep enjoying it.&nbsp;<em>Housewives</em> was a great opportunity because now I know what I don’t want,” she told us.</p>

The mom-of-two showed off her toned bod in a skimpy bikini as she strolled along the shore of South Beach this weekend.</p>
<p>Last we spoke to Kelly, she dished to us about her new book <em>I Can Make You Hot</em> and, judging from these photos, we wouldn&#8217;t doubt her for a minute!</p>
<p><span id="more-10070401"></span></p>
<p>But don&#8217;t expect Kelly to be spilling <em>Housewives</em> gossip in her new book &#8212; she says it will focus&nbsp;on her past mistakes and the positive things she’s learned from each experience instead. The book is slated to his shelves this April.</p>
<p>“It’s been really fun writing about all these mistakes I’ve made over the years. Everyone thinks they should write about how great they are, and I always think it’s more charming to learn about all the mistakes that I made and maybe you can learn from them, too,” she said, adding she’s made so many mistakes that even the edited version is over 300 pages.&nbsp;</p>

The cast shakeup sent her, <strong>Jill Zarin</strong>, <strong>Alex McCord</strong> and <strong>Cindy Barshop</strong> packing, but Kelly is not letting it bring her down. Actually, she recently told <strong>Celebuzz</strong> she would not be opposed to doing another reality show.</p>
<p>“I love reality TV. It has been a really good platform for me, and I’ve had so much fun. Whatever comes my way, I’m going to keep enjoying it. <em>Housewives</em> was a great opportunity because now I know what I don’t want,” she told us.</p>
<p>So would she ever consider looking for love on reality TV?</p>
<p><span id="more-9056111"></span></p>
<p>“Being on <em>Housewives</em> was a blessing and a curse – especially for my dating life. A lot of people wouldn’t take me seriously, and I don’t blame them. Seriously, what awesome guy wants to be reprimanded by women they don’t even know? That was the not-so-hot part of reality TV,” she laments. &#8220;I would love to get married to someone that is a partner and is in it with me and not for the publicity.&#8221;</p>
<p>While she’s still dating and looking for Mr. Right, she has plenty of post-<em>Housewives</em> plans, revealing she wants to have more children.</p>
<p>“My dating life is fun. I’m having a good time and hopefully I’ll meet the man of my dreams and have a little baby boy! That is on my bucket list. I want to have another baby.”</p>
<p>In the meantime, Kelly is working on her new book, <em>I Can Make You Hot</em>, which comes out in Spring 2012. It won’t have any <em>Housewives </em>gossip though – instead the book focuses on her past mistakes and the positive things she’s learned from each experience.</p>
<p>“It’s been really fun writing about all these mistakes I’ve made over the years. Everyone thinks they should write about how great they are, and I always think it’s more charming to learn about all the mistakes that I made and maybe you can learn from them, too,” she said, adding she’s made so many mistakes that even the edited version is over 300 pages.&nbsp;</p>

In an official statement, a Bravo spokesperson said:</p>
<blockquote><p>“<strong>Ramona Singer</strong>, <strong>Sonja Morgan</strong> and <strong>LuAnn De Lesseps</strong> 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 on-going discussions with them.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Well, it&#8217;s only a matter of time before one of the ousted ladies lands her own spin-off. Which housewife would you most likely tune into each week? Vote in the poll.</p>
<p><span id="more-8826631"></span></p>
<p>Last week, news hit that the gals were axed from the hit reality show. The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/15/jill-zarin-kelly-bensimon-alex-mccord-fired-real-housewives-new-york_n_964498.html?" target="_self"><em>Huffington Post</em></a> first reported that &#8220;the women were directly contacted by Bravo&#8230; they had no idea the pink slips were headed their way.&#8221;  Ouch!</p>
<p>LuAnn, who is one of the original cast members, told the press that three new ladies will be added to the cast. We can&#8217;t wait to see if they&#8217;ll be able to fill the other ladies&#8217; shoes. Will you be watching the new season? Tell us in the comments.</p>

<p>We reached out to the <em>Real Housewives</em>&#8216; star&#8217;s rep and they told us that &#8220;nothing has been confirmed yet.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-8797532"></span></p>
<p>Jill&#8217;s rep responded with a similar answer, telling us, &#8220;Discussions between Jill and Bravo are ongoing and no final decisions have been made.&#8221;</p>
<p>Insiders&nbsp;initially&nbsp;told the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/15/jill-zarin-kelly-bensimon-alex-mccord-fired-real-housewives-new-york_n_964498.html?ref=mostpopular" target="_blank">Huffington Post</a> that they &#8220;have all be let go from the series and will not be returning as fulltime cast members next season. The source explained that the women were directly contacted by Bravo on Thursday morning with the news &#8212; they had no idea the pink slips were headed their way.&#8221;</p>
<p>We guess we&#8217;ll just have to wait and see if these ladies were indeed let go.</p>
<p>Do you believe the reports? Would you be upset if they weren&#8217;t around for next season? <strong>Let us know in the comments!</strong></p>
