How is a man whose great-great-grandfather developed the Suez Canal connected to a socialite who took part in 'The Apprentice: Martha Stewart'?

Ferdinand Marie Vicomte de Lesseps, was the French developer of the Suez Canal, which joined the Mediterranean and Red Seas for the first time in 1869, and substantially reduced sailing distances and times between the West and the East. The great-great grandson of de Lesseps is a New York City philanthropist, Alexandre de Lesseps. His wife, LuAnn, is currently one of the co-stars of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_de_Lesseps LuAnn's co-star Bethany Frankel is a single socialite in her 30's with a burgeoning career as a natural foods chef. She was a runner-up on The Apprentice: Martha Stewart. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_Housewives_of_New_York_City (Yeah!) Mar 29 08, 7:23 PM
