Fellow NYC 'Housewife' Says 'Bethenny' Is Serious About 'Skating With the Stars'

Following 'Dancing With the Stars' Monday night, ABC debuted 'Skating With the Stars,' a similar competition, except the celebrities have razor-sharp steel blades strapped to their feet! What could possibility go wrong?

Unfortunately, the celebrities on 'Dancing With the Stars' are more famous than their ice skating counterparts, with the exception of the unsinkable 'Real Housewife' of New York, Bethenny Frankel.

"Knowing Bethenny, she's in it to win it," fellow 'Real Housewife' Alex McCord told me last night over dinner in Manhattan. "Bethenny wouldn't have agreed to do it if she didn't think she could win."

Which is something anyone who has ever met Bethenny would be able to confirm.

"This show means the world to her," an insider tells me. "It's always been Bethenny's dream to be on a network in prime time and out of cable. This is her chance to leave 'Real Housewives' and 'The Apprentice' behind. She's super smart and talented and wants to move to the next level of show business. Look at Elisabeth Hasselbeck, she went from 'Survivor' to hosting 'The View' and she isn't half as talented or driven as Bethenny."

However, if Bethenny does find herself in need of a little support, she need look no further than her fantastic friend Alex. "I always support new moms proving they can get themselves out there, whether it's traveling, going back to work or extreme sports. Go Bethenny!"

Bethenny did nothing...She just allowed herself to be tossed around like a rag doll. Very little skating on her part was involved..And Alex ? She is just sicking up as usual...

I heard Jill is so jealous of Bethany, because she thinks she could do a better job.

I love Bethenny and I love Alex and Simon. Hooray for the only two real housewives. Jill is an old bore, and she is jealous and hateful. Most women in America would not want such a person as a friend/enemy. Best to avoid her type at all times. Jill's entire family is peculiar. Has Kelly had serious treatment yet?? That one is more peculiar than Jill. Kelly and that skank from New Jersey ought to pair up. Ha, now that would be interesting.

Go Bethenny, I hope you win it all; and Alex, your children are adorable.

The only thing Bethany should be serious about is DISAPPEARING! How long is this broad's 15 minutes going to last?
