When Worlds collide: Jill Zarin and Drita D’Avanzo together at Kelly Bensimon’s amNew York party

Can you say “The Real Mob Wives of New York City?”

We cover a lot of reality series on this blog and sometimes I forget that these multiple “realities” can overlap! Such was the case in New York City last night when break out Mob Wives star Drita D’Avanzo showed up for the amNew York party celebrating the addition of RHONYC‘s Kelly Killoren Bensimon and photographer Patrick McMullan to their staff.

Drita appeared to be a bit of a good sport as she posed with Kelly’s cast mate Jill Zarin, who seemed to think it was funny to aim a finger gun at her:

Jill had better be careful – cat fights and feuds with Bethenny and Ramona are one thing, but something tells me crossing Dita could have a worse result than a few harsh words at a reunion taping!

But Jill wasn’t the only cast mate of Kelly’s to show their support as Countess LuAnn de Lesseps (right) and newbie Cindy Barshop were also in attendance:

Notable absentees included Ramona Singer and Alex McCord, so I think we can safely assume those two don’t smooth things over with Kelly before the end of this season.

In case you were wondering what the event was about, amNew York is basically a free online newspaper based in New York City (duh) and Kelly Bensimon is writing a style column for them. From Kelly:

You have no idea how proud I am to be a part of amNewYork. I’m going back to my writing roots and doing what I love: Sharing the inspiring, fabulous things that I’m exposed to each day. So, whether it’s a new pair of shoes, a cool bar, the inside scoop on an up and coming designer or any #IMUSTHAVENOW item, my job is to clue you in.

I’ll see you here every Thursday. Don’t forget to read — there always will be something cool I’m eager to share. In the meantime, if you see me on the street say “hi,” pet one of my three dogs and give me your spin on things.

And because it was Kelly’s night (sorry Patrick) here’s a shot of the guest of honor in a long-sleeve white dress and a pair of roomy shoes:
