'Real Housewife' Dumped Over Email Thanks to Airline Cutbacks

We know there's nothing real about the "Real Housewives of New York," but this is too juicy not to be real: Show character Countess Luann de Lesseps reportedly was dumped by her husband over e-mail this week while he was in Geneva with his new girlfriend.

The union of Count Alexandre and Luann (his fourth, and she used to be a model) was never that stable: Despite their two kids, he lives in Europe most of the time, according to Page Six. But really? E-mail? Hopefully he got socked with some really nasty roaming charges.

Well, maybe the count just couldn't get a flight home to tell her: The International Air Transport Association boasted it was cutting emissions by 8 percent, but it's not because of better technology or improved efficiency: Most of the improvement has to do with routes and flights being canceled in the economic downturn. If he can't get a ticket home to dump you, he may just be not that into you.
