I wish you well, Bethenny. I wish you well.

Despite her denials that she was leaving Real Housewives of New York City in order to create her own show, Bravo confirmed yesterday that Bethenny Frankel will indeed be starring in a new series that will "showcase her career as a natural foods chef, as well as the Gotham socialite's love life." She is allegedly engaged to Jason Hoppy (but go ahead and flush that relationship down the toilet, because we all know the track record of reality couples).
Although there has been no official announcement regarding her status on RHNYC, I'm assuming she's going to quit that bitch. She's already fighting with the entire cast (even Jill!) and it's being reported that it's all scripted so that she can make a make a clean break.
Will you watch Bethenny's new show? Predictions, please.

Although I have always liked Bethenny the most of the NY'ers, there is a such thing as too much Bethenny. I'm sorry to hear her and Jill are fighting as I thought the 2 of them were hilarious together. Bethenny with HER own show would give me an incredible headache. Too much of that voice would lead me to drink.
Will I watch her show? No. Will I expect you to so I can laugh hysterically? Yes!
I want to see "The real World of BetheNeNe" . Bethenny and cook it and NeNe can eat it because, well...you know why....bitch is hongrey!
I just clicked on the "allegedly engaged" link to the US magazine article. She looks gross! And "a starter ring"???? ARE you engaged or AREN'T you? Sounds like a publiciity thing to me. And I love how she is always credited as being "the inventor" of the Skinny Girl Margarita. Is that what her business card says? Bethenny Frankel, Inventor.
- Hi, nice to meet you, Bethenny, and what do you do?
- I'm an INVENTOR!
BetheNENE!!!!!!!! Hahahaha!!! Love it.
Yes, I don't thikn Bethenny will go through with the marriage. But I would LOOVE it if she moved into Nene's basement because Nene would totally call her skinny ass out. And can you see the face Nene would make while sipping one of those Skinny Girl Margaritas? Love it. Come on, SGM, write the script for BetheNene!
Her replacement has been named

You have to ask: What was a guy with six children doing putting himself in harm's way like that?
At a strip club! Oh, AJ.
Thanks for the info, lazylosangeles. Incredible.
Back to Bethenny:
That's a genius strategy, Bravo: Make Bethenny as unlikeable as possible, THEN give her her own show.
If anyone deserves her own show, it's Jill. But something better than Bravo-caliber. I'd rather watch Jill than Oprah anyday.
anon - i am dying. this is my favorite "BetheNeNe: She's Gonna Get Married Like The Other's Gonna Buy a House"
all bethany - all the time......way too much and way too awful!! bethany is only fun to watch when she bitches about the other housewives and even at that her routine is already getting old. it's going to be another "miami social" or better yet "date my ex".
what about ramona?? she need a 24/7 feed. miss & love her.
Can a woman be a douchebag? If so, I nominate Bethenny Miss Massengill 2009.
Will I watch her show? hell No. I can only take Bethenny in small doses. I don't even want to know what she did to Andy Cohen to get her own show. Shoulda been Jill Zarin, and Jimmy Fallon agrees. But they're all getting big heads ( including NeNe), and once they start thinking they are real celebrities with real power it's no longer amusing.
It's the same genius thinking that gave a spinoff show to the Joey character from "Friends."
I'm getting more and more disenchanted with Andy Cohen. And his interview show is wretchedly bad.
kandi's fiance was part owner of the strip club.
The BetheNeNe show! Talk about overload of loud and obnoxious. Pitch it to Andy, anon. Or SNL/someone at Funny or Die, at the very least. :)
Seems like Bravo waits a little too long for the spin-offs. I agree with anon--they've made her unlikeable, and NOW they want us to watch? You all know my feelings on Date My Ex with Jo (huge piece 'o CRAP). Can't believe that AC is taking the same risk with Bethenny. Didn't he get a focus group for this?
"They" didn't make her unlikeable, SGM, she did it all on her own. Bethenny feuding with Gwynth Paltrow and Rachel Zoe?? Uh...only because she believes her own press!!
As much as I can't wait for her own show to crash and burn-----we all know Bravo never admits failure (which is why we can all guffaw at SGM's mention of "Date my Ex," although it was never an admitted failure on the network...hello. Miami Social, NYC Prep, et al)
"They" didn't make her unlikeable, SGM, she did it all on her own.
Well, not entirely.
From that New York Daily News article:
"However, sources say that separating Frankel from the other 'Housewives' is a calculated move by Bravo producers, who want to wean her off of the show so she can stand alone."
Why can't my Mixology App find the recipe for SkinnyGirl Margaritas?
2 parts tequila
1 part dry cleaning fluiid
Then throw it all up (along with your dinner) and that's the Skinnygirl!
Dessert: Two chocolate-mint Ex-Lax.
