Ladies in Red

 Heidi Klum, Kim Kardashian, Estelle, Bethenny Frankel (left), Raven Symone, Kristin Chenoweth, Jordin Sparks, Felicity Huffman and Kimora Lee were among the stars who donned red gowns in and sashayed down (what else?) a red carpet in support of the Heart Truth campaign, which is an organization devoted to raising awareness of heart disease as the leading cause of death for women.

The celebrity models certainly had plenty of heart, and all looked stunning in their shimmery red dresses, by designers from Marchesa to Oscar de la Renta. With few exceptions, these women are curvy--and proud of it. Not least of them, New York's pregnant "Real Housewife"! No word on whether Bethenny talked baby tips with "Desperate Housewife" Felicity Huffman, whose television character is also expecting a baby any week now.

Return of the Housewives

America's favorite housewives (you're not going to pretend that anyone actually prefers the ladies of Orange County or Atlanta to the gelid ladies of Manhattan, are you?) turned up at Gilt restaurant last night to fête the launch of their second season, on Bravo. In addition to stunning-looking "housewives" LuAnn de Lesseps, Jill Zarin, Bethenny Frankel, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Ramona Singer and Alex McCord, the event pulled a glam crowd of women who appeared to relish the idea of starring in a reality show themselves and a smaller group of men apparently not ashamed to admit they are fans of the self-absorbed series. New episodes begin on Bravo on February 17.
