Bethenny Frankel Tapes Talk Show Pilot

By Kelly Fisher Posted Jun 16th 2011 06:15AM

Bethenny Frankel is moving on to her next business venture: a talk show. The Bravo star has started working on a pilot for her own daytime show and is getting some help from a seasoned pro.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Frankel started taping footage for an advice-based show earlier this month and has been getting tips from Ellen DeGeneres, who is also involved in the project with Telepictures.

Frankel has long hinted that getting her own talk show -- as opposed to her Bravo reality series, 'Bethenny Ever After' -- was something she really wanted and saw in her future.

"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 earlier this year, adding, "Most of my business wishes come true."

According to a source close to the project, the show will feature multiple segments, many of which have yet to be taped. Should the pilot be picked up, the show will likely tape in New York, but no final decisions heve been made, the source adds.

The show would just be another line on Frankel's ever-growing resume. The former 'Real Housewives of New York City' star already built a reported $120 million empire thanks to her wildly successful SkinnyGirl drink brand, among other book and promotional deals.

I am so happy for Bethenny. I would much rather see her show on Bravo as I would like to follow her life around as we have been doing in the past,

Hope she is doing well and that her family continues to be blessed

Love and miss you all

Another Popeater typo...it says SkinnyGirl drink brand instead of SkankGirl drink brand. Frankel will be furious!

I find her and her show very annoying. I do not care about her life or what she thinks. Her voice drives me crazy. Why do I watch you say? I don't my wife does.

By Mike

My head hurts, please make it stop.

Just what is needed a talk show host with no journalist training or ability who is obessed with their own self promotion. She denies any facial surgery but it would appear that she had some bizzare fixation with Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker in the Dark Knight, spare us

By Kim

What did she do to her face? A little early to start looking like Joan Rivers!

MAKE IT STOP!! Reality huh? Creating useless celebutards

By blackisbackhahaha

It is so sad what Ms. Frankel has done to her face with all of the glamour surgery. Can’t these celebrities try aging gracefully? It might work and they certainly would gain more respect.

Don't fret people, let the networks waste their money on promoting Bethany, the show is going to fail and it finally will be the end of the all about me, me, me Ms Bethany and her joker face.

DOES BETHANY EVER SHUT UP?????????
She NEVER SHUTS UP..............
Bethany's VOICE and narcissism and arrogance is enough to make anyone ill. I cant stand her. I hope she fails. Enough with the 15 minutes of fame.

Ever notice how she talks OVER people and its always about HER HER HER? She berates everyone including her husband who seems very henpecked.

By Chesterfield

I agree she looks like the joker. I hate her show.

By Bearcat34

Her face makes me laugh. You can see that she has a hard time talking because of her weird facial surgery. Then you see like a weird muscle twitch on each side when she tries to talk. I still can't figure out why anyone watches the stupid Housewife shows. It's a bunch of lazy vein women with nothing better to do than act catty and drink. Rediculous!

By Alyce

Ok I'll admit it I watch Bravo and ALL the" real housewives "and Bethenney etc....but. I for one do not want to watch Bethenny's "talk" show. Her voice will annoy me, she'll probably cut off her guest and their are times she talks so fast that you would think she snorted coke while drinking coffee. There's no way I want to watch it. Some people shouldn't have talk shows and Bethenny in my opinion is one of them.

By Pompano Ann

I am proud of Bethenny; she is on a roll and is smart and creative; she is striking while the fire is hot; don't hate the player; hate the game; reality has taken off and made stars and Bethenny is one of them. We're all human and bet most people would take advantage of the same situation.

By Sara

Please....just make her go away already....

By Betty Boop

I love Bethenny and wish her the very best.....she is inspiring and witty and ferociously funny.

By Debra

She needs to cancel the plastic surgery appointments! I LOVE Bethany, but this new look makes her look "freakish" rather than how pretty she was prior to whatever these injections are.

By Lulu

With her sense of humor and dry wit, the show should be a big success. I will be watching. Bethenny is the best.
