JILL ZARIN IS DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION

The Hampton's season is only halfway there and “socialite” wanna-be Jill Zarin of Real Housewives fame (or maybe its infamy) is allegedly burning bridges faster than Sherman when he marched on Atlanta. Stories keep surfacing about her Bridezilla gimme, gimme approach and rudeness to locals and service people. But one story takes the cake. Zarin who is co-chairing the 2nd annual Help for Orphans gala has quickly allegedly muscled out of the way not only the organization’s founder Sarah Ehrlich but her co-chairs and “Housewives “co-stars”– including Countess LuAnn de Lesseps and Bethenny Frankel - in her desperate bid for attention. Last week well informed sources alleged, she had Bravo TV producers lure the event’s publicists to the event site for a so-called walk through to discuss where food tables, bars and camera crews would be placed. Instead the unwitting PR pros with 10x the credits of this erstwhile star were brought into an upstairs room where three cameras were set up. Zarin and Ehrlich then conducted an inquisition that quickly became a vicious tirade from Zarin of the,” Do you know who I am” type deigned to humiliate and embarrass them on camera.When one of the publicists asked for the cameras to be turned off, the crew continued filming and he exited but not before Zarin told him, “You are dis-invited to my party which anyone, who is anyone in the Hampton's, is coming to”. Then Zarin kept pummeling his partner verbally like a fishwife for another 15 minutes with the cameras rolling. Turns out she was looking to build up some steam for the barely watched show by trying to show how powerful a force she is on the social scene. Not. Truth was the guys were turned down by a lot of their tony pals who didn’t want to be associated with the cause by being on the committee with the domestic diva.I tried to get a quote from the PR guys who have an impeccable record reaping the likes of Harry Winston, AmFar and hundreds of charity events while she was still schlepping fabric on Seventh Avenue. But being the gents they are, they would only say how disappointed they were that a fine cause devoted to building orphanages and schools for African children orphaned by AIDS should become a vehicle for someone’s personal fame game.Word from the inside of Nova’s Ark in Bridgehampton where the event is to take place is that the owners of the property were “appalled” that this happened on their property. “This doesn’t happen in the Hampton's especially for a charity fundraiser”, they were heard to say. They are also fed up with Zarin’s demands. What started out as a simple cocktail party is now taking on the trappings of a Vegas style TV expo with Zarin demanding screens set up so that loops of ‘Real Housewives” could be run throughout the party – showing her of course. By the way, for her private party at home to which she “disinvited” her PR team, she allegedly hired three photo agencies to cover her and her “famous” guests. Did you see any pictures?
Editors Note: If your at Polo this weekend, please come by and say hello and explain to us why you are so mean to such good people. On another note, I also hear the publicists have consulted a lawyer and there will be a demand not to air the footage, and possible lawsuits.

Jill is a two-faced and tries to act as if she has changed. She tries to make allies when she has a conflict with someone. Her minions are always backing her and won't stand up to her. I don't know why any one would even be friends with her. I guess money can;t buy you class!
