Bethenny Frankel To Get Talk Show

Elsewhere, Jill Zarin is rolling over in her fabric.

In February, Bethenny Frankel told the press that she wanted her own talk show. Now, RumorFix is reporting exclusively that her dream is coming true.

Our staff has learned the star of Bethenny Ever After has just signed a deal with Telepictures, which is the production company behind The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Tyra, Lopez Tonight and Anderson.

Bethenny gained fame as one of the Real Housewives of New York, and quickly became a media darling by starring in her own spinoff TV show, Celebrity Apprentice and Skating with the Stars.

Bethenny's show is currently in development; two months ago, the reality star told Popeater why she wanted a talk show:

"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."

And then she said something very prophetic, "Most of my business wishes come true."

Good thing she sold SkinnyGirl, she is going to be busy.

i saw her birthday episode and this bitch is literally insane. she couldn't handle surprises and even enjoy her own party when everybody was celebrating her.
kookyklam 6th-Apr-2011 06:29 pm (UTC)
her husband really screwed up tho, she has some big birthday issues cuz of her childhood and making it an event was a horrible idea
buffymovies 6th-Apr-2011 06:35 pm (UTC)
idk, i totally related to that. i hate surprises because I hate the pressure of giving the proper reaction, which i always suck at. this is why I refuse to have birthday parties.

That episode was soo uncomfortable to watch.
crazyfirecrotch 6th-Apr-2011 06:53 pm (UTC)
i knew she went off the deep end when she shut her stylists and assistant down to cuddle with her dog in the closet. whatever, jason's mom made the party cuz she was drunk as a skunk and it was marvelous.

i have an irrational hatred for jason's mom. i don't know what it is, but she bothers me so much.
myairguitar 6th-Apr-2011 08:02 pm (UTC)
the PROMO was hard to watch, i haven't even seen the episode yet!
teasailor 6th-Apr-2011 06:40 pm (UTC)
i mean, she acted like a freak, i agree, but jason was so dumb... he just kept making it go on and on and on when she was clearly uncomfortable. i don't like to have people looking at me and judging my reactions either, tbh.
ashley51201 6th-Apr-2011 06:45 pm (UTC)
I could relate to her though, I hate celebrating my birthday for legitimate reasons and would die if someone caused such a scene when they knew how uncomfortable it would make me.
lil_silverheart 6th-Apr-2011 06:47 pm (UTC)
I felt bad for her that episode. I hate surprises, and opening gifts infront of people too & I feel it was really mean of her husband to do that to her.
gracestalker 6th-Apr-2011 07:24 pm (UTC)
I related to her 100% in that episode.
I know it looks a bit crazy, but deep-rooted issues will do that to you.
smirk_dog 6th-Apr-2011 08:53 pm (UTC)
I wouldn't be able to handle that either. I can't do birthdays or surprises, they freak me out. And Jason knew she couldn't handle it and he just kept pushing and pushing.

I think she gave full disclosure that she can't handle surprises or enjoy her own birthday party, and that she has issues about celebrating her birthday. I can relate, although on a much lower, less traumatized level.

I hate making my birthday a big deal and it just makes me feel like I'm pressuring my friends to care about me while also pressuring myself to redeem their efforts to attend or give me presents. I wouldn't have a full-on breakdown if my bf threw me a suprize birthday party, but I wouldn't be entirely happy.
ashminda 7th-Apr-2011 03:25 am (UTC)
she looked like a damn fool, i felt SO bad for Jason.

I like Bethenny - she's my favourite Housewife, but c'mon. A talk-show?

Jeesh.
misscrystal 6th-Apr-2011 06:29 pm (UTC)
I feel like people like Bethenny only because she's slightly less ridiculous compared to the other RHONY.
On her own, I think she's pretty awful.
baptismtonight 6th-Apr-2011 06:51 pm (UTC)
I think that was her charm(though I've never been a fan of it) when she was on the RHONY, but alone...
kookyklam 6th-Apr-2011 06:33 pm (UTC)
imo, she would have been good for the show that was in development last yr, that was a panel show with paula deen and kate gosslin. add bethenny into that and i dont know how that couldnt be amazing tv
akpono 6th-Apr-2011 06:38 pm (UTC)
I really don't understand how people like her. She seems so strung and obnoxious to me.
adb7 6th-Apr-2011 06:39 pm (UTC)
I don't like her show this season. Where did the funny go?
buffymovies 6th-Apr-2011 06:40 pm (UTC)
i think if this were to work, it would have to be seriously different than other talk shows. The thing that makes Bethenny fun to watch is that she calls out BS when she sees it, but talk shows are all about BS. I don't think it can be an interview-celebs-and-feign-interest type of show. maybe if she goes the Chelsey Handler route and is so anti-celeb that celebs love her despite her rude-ness
ashley51201 6th-Apr-2011 06:47 pm (UTC)
I completely agree.
edwinaxmonsoon 6th-Apr-2011 06:51 pm (UTC)
Chelsea Handler is insufferable
elijahxwhore 6th-Apr-2011 06:42 pm (UTC)
I liked the first season of her show better. I've been yelling at my tv a lot bc she has the worst case of foot-in-mouth ever! Why doesn't she think before she speaks!!
xcollsangelx 6th-Apr-2011 06:47 pm (UTC)
Love this bitch

sharemygrief 6th-Apr-2011 06:47 pm (UTC)
jill is about to drink poison
purpleplague 6th-Apr-2011 07:00 pm (UTC)
are you fucking kidding me

I used to like her but I think fame has gotten to her head. She's different now. I can't exactly pinpoint HOW she is different, but she definitely is.
xtinkerbellax 6th-Apr-2011 07:12 pm (UTC)
IA, I liked her the first two seasons of housewives, now I can't stand her.
gonexforgotten 6th-Apr-2011 07:26 pm (UTC)
I only liked Bethenny in RHONY, she's so annoying when it's just about her.
celica18l 6th-Apr-2011 07:35 pm (UTC)
Where have I been she sold skinny girl?
shh_im_a_ninja 6th-Apr-2011 07:37 pm (UTC)
YESSSSSSS QUEEN BETHENNY.
fairytwist 6th-Apr-2011 07:44 pm (UTC)
I loved Ramona on Bethenny's show this week. Bitch was making sure she got some airtime
ithinkheaven 7th-Apr-2011 08:49 am (UTC)
I know; I love how she got a little bit of "turtle time" in there before the camera cut away.
trixx_r4_kidz 6th-Apr-2011 07:53 pm (UTC)
OMG yessssssssssss she's PERFECT for something like this. PERFECT!!!
ithinkheaven 7th-Apr-2011 09:07 am (UTC)
I dunno I think she may end up interrupting a lot of her guests by making remarks that are less funny than she thinks. Conan O'Brien is my favorite talk show host, but he's definitely guilty of this sometimes.
hunnichild 6th-Apr-2011 08:13 pm (UTC)
Idgaf, I like Bethenny. Objectively, I can see how her personality could grate but she's like so many neurotic, snarky people I know that she doesn't seem all that abnormal to me.
lifeleftbehind 6th-Apr-2011 09:23 pm (UTC)
lol this
fakevoices 6th-Apr-2011 08:47 pm (UTC)
