- Bring on the catty catwalk antics. The original Canadian cover girl is off the market as of last summer, when she married her significantly younger sweetheart Storey Badger (and if that’s not a name for TV, we don’t know what is).
- Wishful thinking, we admit. The ex-O.C. star famously dated David Thomson (a.k.a. the richest man in Canada) a few years back, and given his reputation for being as cuddly as a cactus, it’s not surprising that marriage never happened. The two do, however, have one ongoing collaboration: a three-year old son.
- Equal parts bright, tanned and poised, she’s the woman behind Toronto’s imported urban theorist Richard Florida. As the CEO of the Creative Class Group, she could bring some strategic savvy to the Housewives dynamic.
- Mary Jo was the ultimate woman scorned when her hubby Dean McDermott ran off with Tori Spelling after meeting the 90210 strumpet on the Ottawa set of Mind of Murder in 2005—and it was right after he and Eustache adopted a newborn. Not that she’s dwelling on it. The former What’s for Dinner? host has just released a cookbook for cougars called Cooking For Your Cub (cub as in buff boy toy, not child). Her younger sis Dee Dee is a Globe columnist, a TV personality and the starchitect who redesigned Harbour 60 Steakhouse. She split from hubby No. 1 last year, and we hear that she’s now dating Bobby Genovese—he of the million-dollar Muskoka waterslide.
- Do we even have to explain this selection? The prez of the Fashion Design Council of Canada and reigning queen of LG Fashion Week always brings the drama, and her booze-tinged rants would be manna from the reality TV gods.
- With Susur Lee (on the right) splitting his time between Toronto and NYC, we think his wife Brenda—a talented designer and one tough cookie—would add some spice to the mix.
- The biz whiz/fashion plate/party girl/political game-changer brings some (relative) gravitas to the group. Plus, she’s no stranger to scandal—though our guess is that crossing the floor is nothing compared to crossing a co-star.
