Tricia Walsh-Smith — the estranged wife of rich guy theater mogul Philip Smith, who has been posting highly entertaining video rants on YouTube about their breakup — has taken her fight to The Insider. She is auctioning off her wedding dress on eBay in order to cover a $5,000 donation that she made to a charity for "boys who have lost limbs and that in Iraq", a donation she can't afford to pay. She hopes that she makes "loads and loads" of money on the deal. The best news, though, is that she's rumored to be joining the cast of the next season of Bravo's reality show Real Housewives of New York City!

She's gonna make Alex & Ramona look really normal.
Seriously SM, you have the art of the screen grab down to a t. I can't wait to see your work included in the next Biennial.
perhaps her husband is filing for divorce because he's realized that SHE'S UNDEAD.
Bring the crazy blondie. I'll be watching.
Oh, Ramona, you just lost your title.
I want to throw her off the mountain.
She can't afford to pay a donation?!
Jezebel take the wheel.
SHUT UP! that's so AWESOME. hope she doesn't turn out to be a semi-dud like whatsherface christian addition from real housewives of the OC.
...boys who have lost limbs and that in Iraq.
Miss South Carolina sees her future and weeps. Such as.
Two words.... Crazy Eyes.
Oh, let it be true. Please let it be true. That would just add one more wacky layer to Real Housewives of NYC. Which, icidentally, I knew nothing about until Jezebel.
Same goes for Rock of Love, Bad Girls Club and the Kardashian show. Your contribution to my trash tv addicition had been eye-opening. To sya the least.
Trisha, Trisha, Trisha...why do you look so much like Joan Van Ark? It's uncanny. Anyway good luck with the batshit crazy.
The screen grab is SUPERB!!!
Why doesn't she auction off her outfits from Grease or Xanadu? I'm sure they would make a lot more money.
WOW that screen grab is positively frightening. Looks like Ramona might be given a run for her money on the crazy front (or at least the crazy-eyes front).
I kept waiting for her head to start spinning...that's some serious scary.
Don't let her near the children. She might eat them.
Terrifying screen grab ._O
My name is Tricia and I'm a plastic surgery addict.
I'll watch as long as she repeatedly says "con-dums".
A graduate of the Donna Mills School of Cosmetology, Trisha specializes in the "smoky eye look".
Hey crazy eyes, why would I pay $5k for a $300 J Crew dress? Especially one that has been tainted by whichever demon it is that has eaten your soul?
With this lady saying "con-dums" and Bethany telling people to "check yo' self before you wreck yo' self", season 2 is gonna rock!
I'd love to be the person who composes the background music for these interviews. A bell would chime every time her eyes went crazy. Which would be...well, every time.
Speaking of Real Housewives, I was in a bar and caught one of the pre-Derby races yesterday, and Bethenny's father was listed as a trainer for ones of the horses. It made me miss that show.
That woman has the eyes of a crazed jackal!!! I guess they were right when they said 'hell hath on fury than a scorned woman'
I think the only one she'll get along with is the Countess. Jill and Bethenny will be scared shitless of her. And Alex and Ramona will totally feel like she is stepping in their territory of batshit.
How OLD is that guy?
Can I just say that the Insider interviewer woman seems to be on her way to undeadness quite soon as well?
Oh, you MUST watch her youtube. "I have a father complex, OK?" Awesomeness.
Real Houswives NEEDS her. she's can do crazy-eyes with Ramona and vie for most pretenious accent with Alex's husband Simon. Speaking of Simon, I was watching Best In Show last night, specifically the scene where the Mayflower Hotel manager was discussing ways of getting dog sh*t out of carpets, and I thought, wow that's Simon's job. Go you brooklynite, eurotrash, Cavalli-loving, light in the loafers hotel manager. climb up the ladder from poop scooper to top of the NYC social scene - actually, that's not a far stretch.
@lermanzo:
Mm, I like the Christian addition because she's such a contradiction. Like, "I'm such a sensual person. Now let me go read my Bible. Where is it? Under my dildo? Oh, okay."
I'd like the Real Housewives of OC to recruit Heather Mills as Tricia's west coast counterpart.
Sweetheart, you'd be easier on the eyes if you went easy on the eyeliner.
Please ignore me; posting to see comments
@TaraIncognita: yeah... but the contradiction just isn't very interesting or compelling. probably because she doesn't necessarily see it as a personal conflict. you never see her fighting urges.
I think if she took off six layers of her liner, her eyes might not look SO crazy.
Oh who am I kidding? She looks scary as hell. I'm sure her jaw will unhinge and she'll eat Alex and Simon's children.
@misssgolightly: I was just thinking that....I'm guessing lot's and lot's of speed help her acquire that look.
Here is some interesting reading on C.R.A.Z.Y.

it's monday morning; i'm stoned and watching that was painful.
i think i'm going to like this working from home.
@fauxpas: except that she had the crazy eye affliction in the wedding pics too.
"Brand of Crazy". I'm stealing that phrase fer sure.
Um, sorry, at this point, if a man is so stoopid he cannot spot an obviously insane wanna be trophy wife from a mile away, you deserves what ya gets.
All the classic symptoms are there: bottle blond, too much makeup, crap values, money obsession, fake tan fake boobs fake nails fake everything.
Come on. I could spot that shit from,outer space.
@TaraIncognita: She and Heather are soulmates, no? I would love to see the two of them duke it out over who is more "misunderstood", but I don't think that both their egos could be housed under one roof.
I can't watch this at work, but that is a great screengrab.
She seems like an older version of Shuana Sands -- have any of you seen her? Michael K at DListed is obsessed with her, and I think I might be now, too; she (Shuana) was once married to Lorenzo Lamas (or whatever his first name is), and has the world's most extensive collection of Lucite heels. They're hypnotic. I imagine that in 10 years she will look just like this woman.
Hanged. Your brother hanged himself.
That screengrab is the stuff of nightmares.
she sort of reminds me of charlie mccarthy. the doll, you know?
I have to wonder if she has a thyroid condition. The bulged eyes, fragile thinness and mood swings point to such a thing. Get thee to a doctor, lady! Manic is so exhausting.
BTW, a day late and a dollar short, but I LOVE you SM and I was totally dismayed by the hate unleashed on Gawker this weekend.
So I just wanted to show some love. For what it's worth, this south florida lawyer thinks you are the shit!
@PICKLES IN MY TUNA: Yup, she does look like Joan before even more horrible cosmetic surgery.
I can see why Tricia believes she's been wronged -- in spite of her past record -- but can't see how she thinks that making a spectacle of herself this way would win her the settlement that she feels she deserves.
