Guess what Jill had to apologize for this morning? No wonder Bethenny wants nothing to do with her!!!

Jill Zarin, who dined with Jon Gosselin in the Hamptons last week, tells Usmagzine.com she feels for the beleaguered reality star.
“He’s got a lot of figuring out to do,” she said Monday at Animal Fair’s 10th Annual Paws For Style in NYC.
But she said the Ed Hardy-loving father of eight – who has been linked to two different girls in two weeks – is not having a mid-life crisis.
“He’s only 32, she told Us. “He can’t be having a mid-life crisis!”
At her July 22 dinner with Gosselin (and Michael Lohan and Star tabloid reporter Kate Major), Zarin said she told Gosselin “a lot. He spoke to me privately, so I’m going to respect that, but I will say that I did give him the third degree. I wanted to know everything about what it was like to raise eight kids. I wanted to know what it was like when he came home. I wanted to know how many diapers he changed. Who wants to take a guess? 12,000! That’s a good item.”
After meeting Gosselin, “I would never have thought he had 8 kids,” she noted. “He was like a young, fun, loving-life kind of guy who happens to have eight kids that he’s got to take care of.”
Asked if she believes he’s been intimate with Major, Zarin replied, “No.” As for 22-year-old Hailey Glassman? “That I don’t know,” she said. “And I don’t care.”

Last week, it was reported that Kelly Bensimon is the only reality star who has signed up for next season’s Real Housewives of New York. The rest are reportedly holding out for six-figure deals.
Asked about the salary demands, Zarin told Usmagazine.com: “I think that in an ensemble cast, it’s hard to have demands because I think all women are the same. I think all women should be treated identically. I don’t think one is more valuable than other.”
“I’m not saying someone new on the show would be valued the same as someone who’s been on the show three years,” she said – presumably referring to newcomer Bensimon – at a launch party for the Wendy Williams Show Monday in NYC. “But I think that the cast is the cast. Take an ensemble like Friends. They felt the same way about each other, even though some became more famous than others and some were more liked. They all took care of each other, and I think that’s the way it should be.”
Asked if she’s coming back, Zarin told Us, “You’ll have to watch and see what happens. I can’t announce anything.”
Bravo has confirmed it is “casting for additional housewives” for next season amid reports about the salary dispute.
But Zarin told Us she has “no idea” about casting. If someone’s been hired, “I definitely don’t know who she is,” she said.
