Let's say you and your girlfriends are out at a bar. A "middle-aged gentleman" you've never seen before comes over and says, "I have a special drink for you two ladies." Would you take it? If you're Tamra Barney and Peggy Tanous of the Real Housewives of Orange County, then yes! Yes you would. And this is how Tamra and Peggy ended up roofied and sick in a New York City hotel room this past weekend, at least according to what NYC housewife Ramona Singer told Radar Online.

Yes, we all know we can catch our favorite Pinot-Grigio-soaked, bug-eyed, recently renewed Real Housewife of New York on Bravo tonight, but you might not know that Ramona Singer is currently in Africa. Tonight's show will feature part two of Ramona and the other gals' catfight yacht odyssey in St. John's, but at last check on her blog (Facebook took us there, okay), Singer was frolicking with school children in Namibia.

"Ninety-percent of puppies in kennels come from mills." So said the ethereal blue screen at last night's benefit for ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), hosted by culinary connoisseur Katie Lee Joel. The annual 2008 Shaggy Dog Gala, held at the Gehry-designed IAC building in West Chelsea, boasted fanciful hors d'oeuvres like mini pig-in-a-blankets, and a silent auction of mainly sports memorabilia -- including a neon orange soccer ball signed by Pele himself, a bundle of vintage Yankee tributes, and a photograph from 1973 of Elvis playfully greeting Muhammad Ali in a fighting stance.
