Bethenny Frankel Wants Her Own Talk Show
Bethenny Frankel is quite the businesswoman. She's a natural-food chef, New York Times best-selling author and reality TV star -- just to name a few -- with a mile-long resume to prove she's not messing around when it comes to success.
Although she's found a home in the reality TV circuit as a former 'Housewives' and 'Apprentice' star, she's looking to bring her brand to daytime television.
"I would like a daytime talk show because my conversation with my fans right now is through social networking, and my TV show communicates what I'm doing, but it isn't really a dialogue or a conversation," she told
PopEater at the British Airways Face To Face event in New York. And she's pretty hopeful it will happen. "Most of my business wishes come true."
Congrats on the second season of your Bravo show. Any juicy details?
'Bethenny Ever After' starts Feb. 28. It's about the texture of marriage and bringing together Venus and Mars, which is what my husband and I are. We're from two different planets. And he's religious, and I practice yoga. He wants to be around his parents all the time, and I like to be alone and just a lot of crazy things. It's really probably the only real reality show. It's a reality sitcom.
And you're also doing a Skinnygirl tour as well?
Yeah. It's me on a huge Skinnygirl tour bus, and my entire family comes with me. I speak for two hours, to primarily women, about everything from body image issues, weight issues and my first book, 'Naturally Thin.' I discuss those things, gossip a little bit and then do a Q&A, and then I do it all over again the next day. It is exhausting and draining, but I would say it is the most gratifying of everything I do.
Why is this the most gratifying thing you've done?
Because you get to speak to women. You're talking to college girls who are developing their identity, whether they want to be wives for a living, whether they want to be businesswomen, who they want to be, how they want to proceed and move on into the world. You're talking to women who have lost their husbands and want to talk about it to other women, people who are obsessed with dieting, people who have eating disorders. You're just talking to women about everything from breastfeeding to dieting to dating to gossip.
You also have a new book coming out. Can you tell me about it?
My new book is coming out March 22. 'A Place of Yes' is about how I got to where I am in my life now, in career and in family and the 10 rules to getting there.

That is not a face I wanna see on TV EVERYDAY, that is trying to tell me how to please my man. She looks like the frickin' crypt-keeper!

Enough is enough from this woman. Her 15 minutes of fame faded out a long time ago.

TV doesn't need another talk show, specially with that loser.

I would rather stick needles in my eyes than watch a TV show centered around this woman

Bethenny Frankel - NOT an attractive woman! Someone send her an iron to press the roadmap of wrinkles in her face. This gal could seriously use make-up tips, is there an emergency 800 # for that as well?

I have a hard time even looking at her. Am I the only one who sees the jaws on her face, something is wrong with the structure of bones in her face. Not that I think looks are everthing because they are not, but why is it said she is pretty, when obviously she isn't. Sort of like the emperor's clothes. No, we don't need Bethany on another show, I would rather see the network put something better in the time slot.

Bethany is a publicity hound. She will do anything to market her "brand".Which is what? She is ruthless and has turned her back on the housewives.The show and people that made her famous.Bravo will lose a lot keeping her on the air.When will the public realize these people are getting rich by us watching these shows.I for one will never watch anything she is on Her 15 min. is over.

Looks like everyone--or nearly everyone on here took their mean, hateful, nasty pill prior to posting. You people don't realize how ugly you are..simply by virtue of your posings...they don't make you look like a nice or good person, you just look UGLY in the soul. How pathetic.

Who is Bethenny Frankel? I've never heard of her.

Jealous women make me ill. Bethenny is a hoot. My cousin's wife has ten children, 21 grandchildren, and is built just like Bethenny and still wears a size 0 or 1. Some folks are naturally lean, lanky, wiry, etc.
Bethenny looks very healthy to me. I enjoy her glib remarks, sarcasm, and sense of humor. She is delightful. I am looking forward to this season's episodes.
