Back in June it was announced that Bethenny Frankel was developing an advice-based talk show, but sadly no one was interested and it wasn't picked up. With her success in Real Housewives of New York (seriously she was the only one on that show with a soul personality), Bethenny Getting Married and Bethenny Ever After, not to mention her Skinny Girl Cocktails it's surprising that anything this dynamo started would not get finished.

Bethenny's distributor Telepictures, couldn't get the deal picked up what with a slew of other talk shows being committed to: Katie Couric, Steve Harvey and Jeff Probst (my next husband should the opportunity ever presents itself and if he'll have me). Even Ellen DeGeneres was a staunch supporter of Bethenny and this talk show.

But not to worry, Bethenny Ever After will carry on and we'll see Season 3 of this tell-it-like-it-is woman, and you just know that a reality show isn't all we'll be seeing of this business woman. She is bound to bring us something new and exciting and totally Bethenny.

Bethenny Frankel and her adorable 1-1/2 year old daughter Bryn cover the November Parenting Magazine and in the magazine she admits that she doesn't want Bryn to be so Type A like herself:

“I hope Bryn’s not so Type A when she grows up, like I am. I want her to do exactly what she wants, but I hope she doesn’t end up being too complicated.”

I don't know about you but I love Bethenny Frankel. I love her reality show because she's real and so down-to-earth and feisty. And when you are on top of the world there are bound to be haters and people criticizing her parenting skills. She has a strategy for that:

One of the downsides to fame is the constant criticism you get. Yet all moms everywhere have to deal with negative feedback at some point. My attitude is, it’s a non-event—just let it roll off your back.

She tries not to be her own worst critic when it comes to being Bryn`s mom:

I like to think that I’m doing a good job. I’m there for my daughter almost all the time, as much as I can possibly be. Sometimes, it’s true, I have to travel, and I miss a night with her. When that happens, I feel like I’m going to freak out . But I tell myself that the fact that I get so upset is yet another sign I’m a good mom. That’s all I really care about.

She admits she makes mistakes and doesn`t freak out about them:

Sometimes I accidentally give Bryn food that’s just a little too hot. Or I’ll be turning her around during a bath, and she’ll dunk and get all the water in her mouth. What can you do? Just say “I’m sorry!”

Bethenny Frankel 'Skinnygirl Margarita' bottle signing at LCBO store Toronto

Yes girl.  NOT boy.  While at the launch of Clorox and Children’s Health Fund’s Check-in for Checkups program in NYC, Bethenny Frankel chatted with In Touch about the next baby,

“I’m only in this for another girl,” shared Bethenny. “If there’s a boy, I’m not involved. I want a guarantee!”

Yeah sorry, it doesn’t work like that., unless you adopt of course!

Since she’s had it so good the first time, she’s worried her next baby won’t be as easy:

“Bryn is such a good girl. She sleeps 12 hours! She’s just really fun and she eats everything! I’m such a bragger!”

She also continued to defend her weight loss, post pregnancy:

“I definitely gained enough weight when I was pregnant,” insisted Bethenny. “I gave birth five weeks early, and I gained 35-40 pounds. And I lost the weight in a month and a half, and you know what? I’m certainly not going to apologize for it because I built an entire brand on being balanced — not binging — while pregnant.  On the weekends, Bryn and [husband Jason Hoppy] and I walk to lunch. We pick a place about 30 minutes away, and we’ll walk there and walk home.  I’ve always said I wanted a talk show. I want a dialogue with my fans that’s longer than what I can do on Facebook and Twitter. My fans are what drive everything that I do. So if a talk show is in the future, I have my arms wide open to it!”

I think she will nail a show like that.  She’s got all the spunk in the world and then some.  Would you watch?

Earlier this week, Bethenny Frankel was sued for $100 million from her former management company, Raw Talent, for not paying management fees on her SkinnyGirl Cocktail deal with Fortune Brands’ Beam Global which saw Bethenny earn $120 million, making spirits history.

Frankel has finally spoken up on the lawsuit and isn’t phased at all by it:

“Unfortunately, one of the signs of success is being the subject of frivolous lawsuits, like this one,” Frankel says in a statement to THR. “This is simply someone with his hand out, who did nothing to earn it, and I am not going to be bullied.”

Doug Wald of Raw Talent says he set up the meeting of liquor industry executives to net the Real Housewives star the lucrative deal, but Bethenny doesn’t see it that way and she isn’t backing down:

“We are exploring all of our options, including filing counterclaims against these people,”

This is going to get ugly.

This is a day for big-ass money. It seems that Bethenny Frankel’s former management team, Raw Talent, is suing her for $100 million because they didn’t receive a cut off of her very lucrative Skinny Girl Cocktails line that was sold to  Fortune Brands’ Beam Global for allegedly $120 million.

Bethenny Frankel Is The $120 Million Dollar Woman

She was with Raw Talent back in 2008 and their lawsuit claims:

“[Bethenny] expressly represented that any agreement relating to the exploitation of the Skinnygirl Cocktail Brand would be commissionable under their management agreement.”

They are further claiming that she fired them days before finalizing her big deal. They are suing her for $12 million in lost commission and another $100 million in punitive damages.

That’s seems pretty greedy on the $100 million in punitive damages. I wonder if they would get even close to that?

Bethenny Frankel, 40, is a force to be reckoned with that people probably underestimated (those that didn’t know about her successful past) and I say right on girlfriend!

She was part of Pashmina Princess, the first company to bring pashminas to the celebrity world. Then she became a natural foods chef that fed celebrity clientele.

Bethenny Frankel Has Great News!!

And who can forget The Real Housewives of New York? She parlayed that show into Bethenny Getting Married, Bethenny Ever After and then there are the books.

But the biggie that has been her win-fall thus far, has been her Skinny Girl Cocktails which was a line she developed with David Kanbar in 2009. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that her Skinnygirl cocktail line was just acquired by: Fortune Brands’ Beam Global — which distributes the likes of Jim Beam bourbon and Sauza tequila for $120 Million!! That’s $20 Million more than P. Diddy’s deal with Ciroc.

Ca-freaking-ching bitches!! What she admits as well is that she turned down the offer to appear on the Real Housewives show three times! Then she decided it was good for business:

I went on the show single-handedly and exclusively for business,” Frankel says of the now common practice among reality stars. “I knew it was a risk and I had the most to lose, because I already had a platform. When I went on the show, no one was going on for business, no one had done anything.”

Not only is she gorgeous, smart, RICH and talented, she’s a frugal, down-to-earth woman. She says of the series:

I’m not running around buying diamonds and getting facials,”"I just decided to be totally honest and own it. You can’t do something you don’t stand for just to make money. It’s a smart audience, people will realize it.”

I just watched Bethenny Frankel on George Lopez a couple of nights ago and I have to say, I really like this girl.  She is seriously FUNNY.  She doesn’t hold back for a second and she’s so down to earth.  I could so hang out with her.  She started out on the  Real Housewives of New York, then went onto Bethenny Getting Married, and now Bethenny Ever After has been picked up for a third season.

‘Bethenny Ever After After’ Premieres

Bravo is very happy with the average 1.4 million viewers she is bringing in every Monday night and so there will be more.  I am so glad and very happy for her.  Bethenny works really hard and she is so not your typical “real housewives” stereotype.

I know there are a lot of anti-Bethenny people out there, I just don’t get why?

Congrats on a third season girl!  You deserve it!
