The link didn't work for me either. Maybe it was incorrect. I honestly don't believe the Radziwills need any more money. You see how the rich get richer! |

http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/sex_deal_done_6Hlm402KyFmtxi8mjbWyoO Here is the original story from the NYPost. Carole is getting $700,000 for two books, one is coming out in spring 2013 and is the one we've heard about, and two will be a collection of essays. Published by Holt, pretty prestigous. I don't know about Carole's money, CCC. The Radziwill family probably didn't get a whole lot out of Poland. Carol's husband's father had older children along with the two he had with Lee.

Here is an article that alludes to Carole's money. I believe it. Frankly going on RH was a smart move for her. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/06/04/carole-radziwill-on-the-real-housewives-kennedys-and-more.html Edited by weaver, Oct 20 2012, 04:10 PM.

Thanks weaver. Yep, RHONY was a good idea for her. She not only came off pretty well - to me anyway - but she ended up with a bidding war for her book. |

Nice going Carole. <link Real Housewife Carole Radziwill to publish 'The Widow's Guide to Sex and Dating' after signing $700k book deal By Tamara Abraham PUBLISHED: 13:22 EST, 19 October 2012 | UPDATED: 14:30 EST, 19 October 2012 Carole Radziwill has signed a $700,000 deal to publish a debut novel titled 'The Widow's Guide to Sex and Dating'. The Real Housewife of New York, 46, who lost her husband Anthony Radziwill in 1999 and was famously close with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, will publish two books with Henry Holt & Co, following a fierce bidding war, according to the New York Post. She says on her website that the book is not autobiographical, but she 'did base some things on my experiences as a widow.' Leaning on experience: Carole Radziwill, pictured in September, has signed a $700,000 deal to publish a debut novel titled 'The Widow's Guide to Sex and Dating' Leaning on experience: Carole Radziwill, pictured in September, has signed a $700,000 deal to publish 'The Widow's Guide to Sex and Dating' She writes: 'I wildly embellished, that’s a perk of writing fiction. I like to say it’s about death, sex and love in that order.' Posted Image Lost love: Carole and Anthony Radziwill pictured on their wedding day in 1994 The plot centres around Claire Byrne, a journalist whose husband dies in a freak accident while she is out of town. 'I wildly embellished, that’s a perk of fiction. It's about death, sex and love in that order' In her sexologist husband Charlie's will she is tasked with finishing an incomplete work he was writing - and in the process sets out to disprove his theory that love and sex cannot coexist. Her follow-up book apparently has a working title of 'Girl's Guide to Life', and will be a collection of essays. Lost love: Carole and Anthony Radziwill pictured on their wedding day in 1994 Lost love: Carole and Anthony Radziwill pictured on their wedding day in 1994 The two novels are not Ms Radziwill's first published works. In 2005 she penned an autobiography titled, 'What Remains', which made the New York Times Bestseller List.

I just finished 'What Remains' yesterday. I liked it very much although there were parts where it lagged. I went into it being ambivalent about Carole and came out really liking her. If the Countess read it, and I'm sure she did, it explains why she's jealous of Carole. I also understand why Carole dresses like a hipster. She truly was besties with JFK Jr. and Carolyn and if you look at pictures of them right before they died, they all dressed like that. It's 13 years later, though, so I think it's time Carole updated her look. She's scrappy and has led an interesting life. She seems like she'd be fun to hang out with as she has a pretty eclectic circle of friends. It's gotta drive Lulu nuts. Which I love. |

Yeah, I hope she stays on the show. The new girls have been like a breath of fresh air. |

I go back and forth on her a bit. It's mostly favorable though, and yes "What Remains" is part of that. I don't mind her look at all, I wish more women just dressed as they pleased and screw trends. I know it's dated, but I prefer that to being a slave to fashion. I kind of feel that way about Ramona too. She knows what works for her, and wears it, so what if it's not trendy or "in?" Carole has a complicated and aging face, and that whole hipster thing in a way, compliments her unique face. I'm not saying it well, but it's almost as if the "I don't care about trends, or a perfect nose, or removing wrinkles, I'm just me." broadcasts a real woman who is secure but not vain. Other times I think she's channeling too much Carrie Bradshaw. I hope she comes back, but can't imagine why she would, although the money's not bad, and Andy is a friend so she's unlikely to get a horrid edit. |

I think Carole does botox and has lip fillers. I suspect she has some issues with eating. There is one photo of her on the boat where each of her ribs is prominent. She is most suspect for me just because she is friends with Andy Cohen and his too cool for school crowd which I believe is a group of people who viciously make fun of people all the while thinking they are better than the rest. See Bethenny.

True! I forgot about that lip thing on the reunion. I guess what I'm saying is that her look doesn't look like she's trying too hard, which helps a bit when you are older I think. It seems real, even if it is worked on. |

Oh, I think Carole works very hard for that “I don't try that hard look”. I still kinda like her, tho. Ugh, I don't think Ramona dresses well at all. The satin dresses make her look like she has a pinot belly. |

I absolutely agree. I like that even when she's dressed up, she doesn't look too done. But her clothing choices, not all of them because I really liked some of the stuff she wore in St. Barts, but the stocking caps, fingerless gloves, thigh highs with a skirt (London)...if she's still wearing those in 13 years, well... I do believe that her experiences in life - covering the wars, the tragedy of losing her friends and husband within 3 weeks of each other - have something to do with her live and let live attitude. |

I loved the golden/bronze dress Carole wore with her hair all pulled back. Maybe at one of Sonja's parties? I bet that was a Naeem Kahn? I think Carole's talking heads make her come off bad to me. Not that anything she says is that outrageous, but it is different than her on camera persona. She has pretty good snark, but it is mean in some instances, and she needs to own it. I think the cutesy is more than the way she dresses. I don't like the way she hugs Ranjana - that's her signature hug to wrap her leg around the friend or her apartment stairs. Just too affected for me. But overall, she is way more palatable and normal than some of the others. |
