We’ve long been of the opinion that what the Real Housewives series could really use is a hedge fund edition. Alex Cohen, Biff’s old lady, Eddie’s girl, Mrs. PTJ would all make for sensational television and I know I’m not alone in saying I would truly do unspeakable things to have Lisa Falcone and her piano-playing pig in my living room every Thursday night. Apparently producers are on the same page and are actively attempting to make our dream a reality.

A casting call notice went out on Wednesday for “Wall $treet Wives,” a new reality show (or “docu-series,” in the patois of Hollywood) that is looking to fill out an ensemble cast of four or five women. Qualified applicants, the notice said, would have “a fun and attractive personality,” and would either be married or formerly married to a man working in an “’investments oriented” position on Wall Street. “Wall $treet Wives,” which has not yet secured a network deal, is the brainchild of Devon Fleming, a Connecticut-based author and lifestyle guru, and her friend and co-producer, Sammi Mendenhall. Ms. Fleming and Ms. Mendenhall first pitched the show in 2007, using Ms. Fleming, who is married to a Deutsche Bank wealth manager, as a central character. But networks had a different vision.

Obviously getting wives who are married to men of actual import on Wall Street will be a bit of a tough sell what with many of their spouses wanting to avoid publicity, and so on and so forth. But this is something that has the potential to change all of our lives for the better. If we want, nay, need it to happen, we need to to our part. Who is on our wish list to join the cast? Once we identify names, we can start petitioning them to audition. Dream big.

    If you actually watch reality TV, just go ahead and kill yourself.

    Laura Blankfein and her friend Susan Friedman…..nnGOLDMAN Sachs boss Lloyd Blankfein has warned his employees to avoid high-profile spending, as The Post reported — but his wife evidently didn’t get the memo. nLaura Blankfein and her friend Susan Friedman, wife of another Goldman honcho, Richard Friedman, caused a huge scene at Super Saturday in the Hamptons last weekend when they arrived at the event before the noon start time and balked at waiting in line with the other ticket-holders. n “Their behavior was obnoxious. They were screaming,” said one witness. Blankfein said she wouldn’t wait with “people who spend less money than me.” nnn Another observer said the women were so impatient, it was as if they were waiting on line for a kidney transplant instead of a charitable designer clothing sale. n Friedman shouted at the event organizer, “You have lost so much money because of this . . . Why should we be treated like the $650 donors?” nnn- Guy whos long PitchForks & Gas.nn

    They could merge the program with one of the Discovery Channel’s most popular shows and call it “Deadliest Snatch”

    I know for a fact that she’s been trying her damnedest to get on one of these shows for a while now. When no producer wanted to go near that sociopathic walking lawsuit, she started talking about producing her own. It was to be a modernized version of Upstairs Downstairs, starring herself of course. Who knows how far they are in discussions now. You might just get your wish!

    Oh not this dancing pig. She does not belong upstairs, she would not fit downstairs–she is simply the worst person that I have ever met. This dung beetle only belongs on top of a piece of shit.

    You don’t have to do unspeakable things to have Lisa Falcone and her piano-playing pig in my living room every Thursday night. Just uptown to her old neighborhood and hook up with one of her sisters for $20 and a hit of crack. You might Lynn Tilton for less, but she doesn’t dress with the class of a Lisa.

    Not sure Lynn Tilton would want to do a “reality series”. The ex-President of her PE firm was fired by her because he appeared on reality show:u00a0 Jason Colodne as a boyfriend of Bethenny Frankel.u00a0 He is suing or sued for $50M.
