The Real Housewives of New York may be adding two new castmates for its third season -- but no baby for Bethenny Frankel, says her pal Jill Zarin.

Responding to yesterday's reports that Frankel, 38, is pregnant, Zarin insisted to usmagazine.com "It's a rumor!" at Monday's opening night party for the Broadway show Memphis.  "I don't know why someone started that," she added.

But Zarin was still thrilled over news of Frankel's engagement to Jason Hoppy, her boyfriend of 11 months. "Isn't that great?! I called, reached out and sent something to the house," she said.

What are the biggest reality show catfights of all time?

Zarin, 46, had nothing but praise for the spouses-to-be. "They're a great couple. He's a very nice guy -- very handsome and sweet."

Guess the celeb baby bump

The Manhattanite had less to share about the two newbies (Sonja Morgan, 45 and an as-yet-unidentified woman) entering the Housewives fray this season. "I didn't know either of them before," she admits.

Will any original housewives be leaving the cast to accommodate the new additions? "I don't know anything," she claimed. "All I can say is that I've never seen eight housewives!"

    What's up with Bethenny's face. I'm not a Bethenny fan, but this photo makes her look like an alien.

    I think it was classy for Jill to say it was a rumor. Even if Jill knew that Bethany was pregnant it isn't her place to break the news.

    She gave the exclusive to People. Bad timing Us Weekly.

    She is actually two months pregnant. Another site has the story directly from her, not a misinformed Jill Zarin.

    Im sorry but I do not think these women are housewives. Its a joke. and im sick of them. Bethenny isnt attractive at all. She has had so much work (as they all have) that it pisses me off. I was real housewife. I didnt have a maid nanny and chef. Stop your damn whining b*****s. She wouldnt be marrying him if she was not on that dumbass show. He wouldnt look at her twice.
