The Real Housewives, Of All People, Offer Marital Advice to Kim Kardashian

The Real Housewives of The Tri-State came out to newlywed's Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' Welcome to New York Party.  It's not exactly clear what Kim and Kris were being welcomed to.  Kris has been playing basketball for the New Jersey Nets for some time and living in the area.  Kim has lived in New York to film her and Kourtney's reality show, Kourtney and Kim Take New York.  Plus, Kim still resides in LA at least part-time, so it's not like this is some sort of earth shattering permanent move.  But when you're the Kardashians, you have parties for everything.

Sonja Morgan, Alex McCord, Simon VanKempen (NY), Dina Manzo (NJ), and Ramona Singer (NY) all attended A Night of Style & Glamour to welcome the KarHumps at Capitale on Wednesday, August 3 in New York.

Sonja wore a long leopard draped dress.  That along with her large blown out hair was a bit too animalistic and tribal.  Alex went for a more streamlined look with a fitted, print tube dress, while her fashion partner in crime, Simon, wore a plaid button down shirt and khaki pants.  Ramona chose a purple satin one-shoulder dress along with nude heels.

The Real Housewives are not known for having lasting marriages, particularly after they put them on TV.  However, they offered their advice to Kim and Kris on their new marriage, when reporters asked.

Bravo casts these women for their big personalities and opinions, so they were naturally asked about one of the biggest Housewives stories of all time- Russell Armstrong's suicide.  Ramona said, "To me the most tragic thing is that he felt the only way he could release his pain was to take his life."  Dina chimed in, "That little girl is gonna grow up without a daddy and to know that's how he took his life, is heartbreaking."

Taylor Armstrong mentioned that Russell abused her in divorce filings, and she reportedly kept photographic evidence.  Still, Simon thinks the show has to go on, telling Extra,  "It's awful, but you can't just scrap the series as if it didn't exist, because it does."  He continued defending reality TV, saying, "Reality TV, or having cameras in your life, it might put a magnifying glass on you, but the zit was still there.  The issues, the problems, were probably there beforehand."
