Bravo dumps Brooklyn couple?

Word around the blogosphere for the past few weeks has been that Cobble Hillbillies Alex McCord and Simon van Kempen will not be featured on the upcoming season of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York City. [van Kempen says that's not true. Full response here.] I’ve begun to believe the rumors, because the notorious couple is noticeably absent from previews for the new season of the show, which begins in March. I’m sure they’ll be missed.

PopCrunch: Tattling tipters claim producers dumped the couple after refusing to do any more business with the overbearing Simon, who flew into full Bitch Mode when Bravo slammed the entire cast with a hefty reduction in pay. In addition, the network was concerned by the fact that the couple never quite seemed to resonate with viewers.
