After lots of talk, reality star and Bravolebrity Bethenny Frankel is about to get her own talk show. The former star of The Real Housewives of New York City and current star of the hit reality series Bethenny Ever After (which returns in February) will host her own show called "Bethenny" on Fox to be Executive Produced by Ellen Degeneres.
Here's what Frankel said in a statement, ”I’m absolutely thrilled to be working with Telepictures, Ellen DeGeneres and Fox in doing what I believe is the next best step in my life and my career.”
“My passion is connecting to, inspiring and being inspired by my fans. I’m ready for the challenge of this new adventure, and I’m going to tackle it like I do everything else in my life,” she added.
The show will premiere this summer on a six week sneak peek (a la Wendy Williams and Fran Drescher) on select Fox affiliates in Los Angeles and New York.
So for all those out there who think NeNe Leakes is the biggest reality star to emerge from Bravo, I think not because I've always looked at Bethenny as a smart businesswoman. From her sassy witty one-liners making her a household name, to her Skinny Girl Margarita empire, Bethenny is finally getting the success she deserves. Only time will tell if she will keep the interest of viewers, since it's about to get really crowded in the world of daytime talk come fall.
