Republican Gov. Charlie Crist next week will look to add to his staggering pile of campaign cash by heading the home of Jill & Bobby Zarin to raise money for his U.S. Senate campaign. The fundraiser (read the invite here) was first reported by the Orlando Sentinel this morning.

Zarin is one of the stars of the Bravo! show “Real Housewives of New York” and is close friends with Carole Rome Crist, the governor’s wife. Zarin, who was invited to the couple’s wedding in St. Peterburg last year, describes Carole as one her best friends and talks about Carole’s expensive, Hampton society parties in an episode called “Season One: Lost Footage.”

The host committee for Zarin’s fundraiser for Crist is peppered with NYC socialites and also includes Donald Trump and New York Yankee slugger Johnny Damon.
