Bravo Orders More Housewives, Bethenny Opens Up About Her New Show

Bethenny Frankel confirms to E! that she will be getting her own spinoff

Bravo is blowing up! The very busy network has just ordered another installment of their Housewives franchise, The Real Housewives of D.C., as well as picking up a second season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Meanwhile, Bethenny Frankel confirms to E! News that she will be getting her own spinoff as well as appearing (for sure!) on season three of The Real Housewives of New York City.

Read on to find out what Bethenny told us about her present and future with the New York housewives (hint: they don't get along), and what to expect from her new series...

Frankel revealed to E! News, "[The rumor that's] false is that I'm being replaced on the fifth episode and then I'm phasing out. I'm on Housewives the entire season." 

And while filming on season three is already underway—Frankel calls the storylines "explosive"—Bethenny says that the future is uncertain, now that she's signed on for her own spinoff.

"I don't want to do both [shows]. I think that I've gotten a bit lost in the show," Frankel tells E! News. "I don't want my life to be about arguing."

Apparently the Real Housewives of New York City are not as close as they have been in past seasons. Bethenny says, "I only see my castmates outside of filming for press events and sometimes social events. Do I ever just go have plans with anybody when we're not shooting? No, I don't. I'm having my share of arguments and drama for sure."

Frankel—who tells us that "none of the other Housewives have said congratulations" about her new show—has many book and catering projects in the works, and the spinoff covers them all.

Frankel says of the series, "It's [about] my whole struggle to balance my career and my relationship. That's probably what they'll want to show. Hopefully I'll be entertaining enough [showing how I] live and work and love, and that will be a television show, but it's not like the Tori and Dean show where they have projects they do, like opening up an inn."

Production on the spinoff has not yet begun.

The only single NYC Housewife, Frankel tells E! "I would definitely like to have children," and it seems her current boyfriend, Jason, may be the man who finally makes the busy Skinny Girl settle down.

"We're not engaged. If he likes it, then he's gonna put a ring on it," Frankel says. "The other Housewives have all met him and thumbs-up. You can't dislike him; it's impossible."

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is currently airing on Bravo; The Real Housewives of New York City will likely premiere in early 2010.
