Arguably the most hated housewives of the Real Housewives series are returning to the small screen tonight—and now that we're all tightening the pursestrings their livin' large lifestyle will be sure to evoke even more hatred! Housewife Jill Zarin told the Post, "You're gonna see some [expensive] toys come out, unfortunately. We filmed the show before the recession happened." But has the "cougar of conspicuous consumption" changed her ways to fit the economic downturn? She says that these days she's cooking at home with Fresh Direct groceries, has noticed a drop in sales at her Allen Street emporium Zarin's Fabric Warehouse and her and the hubby sold their East Hampton home over a year ago. Plus she told Fox: "What was hard for me was giving up my live-in maid five days a week." It's like one step away from a breadline over there. Meanwhile, the folks over at EW wonder if viewers will tune in or drop out, in an article titled: "Critic to The Real Housewives of New York City: drop dead."
