Bethenny Frankel Blogs About Real Housewives of Atlanta: Kim "Is Certifiable and I Love It!"

I was half-asleep during the reunion last night. It was so boring I flipped through an issue of Field and Stream for some excitement. First of all, to say fashion disaster would be a gross understatement. I don't understand what the hell was going on with the outfits and the set decor. It really was quite confusing.
Sheree, Sheree, Sheree...How could you rock Dolce & Gabbana when an entire season built up to your fashion event? Big mistake. Huge. As I said before, she likes fashion, but a businesswoman she ain't. At least Lisa was wise enough to market her wares.
Kandi wears the wild outfits and rock 'n' roll hair, but she can get away with anything because she is in the music Biz.
The best parts of the show were the flashbacks to the season's best moments. In my life, I've never loved a scene more than the Sheree party-planner smackdown. Her face literally became distorted. I could watch it for days. I love when she said she could find a pookie or two in her phone book. I can't help but love Sheree, the narcissist.
Bethenny Frankel Stops Joking, Admits Pregnancy

There's nothing more irritating to a reality star than Perez Hilton stealing their precious scoop. Yesterday, newly engaged Real Housewife of New York's Bethenny Frankel tried to play off pregnancy rumors with jokes and Skinnygirl margaritas.
Well, today she's decided to change it up and aim for the sympathy vote. She 'fessed up that she is in fact pregnant and even managed "fight back tears," People writes, while she confirmed her pregnancy :
"It's premature to be telling people this. It's not like, 'Did I get Botox?' It's not the way I wanted it to get out. I haven't even gone through my first trimester. We haven't even heard the heartbeat. My [fiancé's] parents didn't even know."
She keeps this victim thing going on her Twitter where she adds she "was unfairly forced to come forward early."
Apparently, bestie Jill Zarin didn't even know as she shot down baby rumors last night...That ought to result in a "Why didn't you tell me before you went crying to People?!" fight.
Bethenny Frankel Totally Having Perez Hilton's Love Child

Bethenny Frankel is engaged. That much we know for sure.
Whether or not the 38-year-old Real Housewives of New York City star is expecting a child as well is not entirely certain.
When Perez Hilton blogged about her supposedly knocked-up status, the cheeky SkinnyGirl didn't confirm it...but she didn't flat-out deny it either. Instead, she implied a love that dare not speak its name, all for the sake of killer ratings for her upcoming solo show.
"Is preggers w perez hilton's 9 blue haired babies," she Tweeted about herself. "That's what my bravo show is about. We're going to beat jon & kate's ratings w 1 more baby!"
That's what we call circumlocution, people (a word that's probably in one of those Twilight-inspired SAT-prep books).
But then again, she also tweeted about having a "girls' night" with Denise Richards, Lisa Rinna and The Insider's Lara Spencer, although no one's promising any tequila in those margaritas.
And let's not forget that the reality star confessed to E! News earlier this month that she "would definitely like to have children."
We're just sayin'.

Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel Ready to Be a Real Wife

Bethenny Frankel's big month just got a whole lot better.
Everyone's favorite Real Housewife (and E! Online celeb blogger) is tying the knot, and in typical Bethenny fashion, she's telling it like it is.
"He liked it so much he put a ring on it!" the entrepreneur extraordinaire gushes to E! News of her new fiancé, Jason Hoppy.
After a congratulatory tweet from our own Marc Malkin, Frankel gratefully replied: "thanks. I'm about to go on in front of hundreds of peeps at southern women's show in jacksonville.I'm going to announce it.yippee."
The couple became engaged on Oct. 8, says People, after Hoppy asked the Skinny Girl to marry him in her rose petal and candle-strewn Upper East Side apartment.
And while we're not positive this has anything to do with Hoppy's decision to propose, Bethenny told us in an Oct. 6 interview that the two were not yet engaged, but "the other housewives have all met him and thumbs-up. You can't dislike him; it's impossible."
Either way, congrats are in order to the happy couple!

Bethenny Frankel Blogs About The Real Housewives of Atlanta: "All Hell's Gonna Break Loose"

Sheree and Kim are hanging out? Wow, we Housewives are resilient. I must say, as Andy Cohen would put it, Kim and Sheree had some serious hair systems going on. It does look great though. The weaves and wigs are literally characters in this show, to be pulled, complimented, fought over and sold.
The whole Nene and Mel father storyline is compelling. It's nice to see her calm for a while. Normal isn't always bad. I love how Nene said that house in Athens used to be a mansion. Isn't that a mansion now?
I waited with bated breath for the episodic, narcissistic Sheree line, and this time it came like clockwork: "I made my samples to fit me because I'm the perfect model." She's the best, and I still love her. Why does she say Dwight's name with two syllables: De-wight?
Who doesn't love Kandi? Premarital counseling. Yikes. His death is tragic, so it really is difficult to discuss his six children from four mothers. She'll never get to experience that difficulty, but like any marriage, it would have been difficult. It does always go back to the money. That is the core issue here. When mama said "child support" as her word, I gasped.

Bethenny Frankel Spills on New York's New Housewives

They're heeere!
As expected, Bravo is adding new castmembers to The Real Housewives of New York City, and today the network announced that socialite single mom Sonja Morgan and entrepreneur Jennifer Gilbert will recur throughout season three. Why the new blood? Well, for one thing, NYC Housewives superstar Bethenny Frankel is getting her own spinoff, and she's said repeatedly that she doesn't want to do both shows. The new additions ensure that Bravo has a deep bench of talent on the show even after Ms. Frankel exits.
Speaking of Ms. Frankel, what does she think of this new blood? Are the new kids friend or foe? And how's she getting along with the existing castmembers during the filming of season three? E! News just sat down with Bethenny exclusively and snagged the scoop on the "explosive" new episodes...

Kate Gosselin writes some books. Jon Gosselin meets with Christian Audigier. Kate goes on The View. John goes on Larry King. Kate is kept as star of Plus 8. Jon moves to have the show shut down.
Kourtney Kardashian's surprise pregnancy is overshadowed by Khloé's wedding, which leads to Kim reuniting with ex-BF Reggie Bush.
And then there's the Real Housewives with their competing fashion lines and fundraisers.
Seems like reality TV stars can't help but steal each other's thunder. And there oughta be a word for that.

Um, were you laughing to yourself or out loud when Kim said that the Titanium American Express card was because of her, not Big Papa? Exactly how many wigs do you have to sell a year to pay a $250,000 credit card bill? She would have to make $500,000 gross to afford that and nothing else.
Does she think we just fell off the infidelity turnip truck? What in God's name is Big Papa's wife saying about all this? Is Kim sleeping with her too? Are they one big, happy, blinged-out Mormon family? You couldn't write this stuff.
Bravo Orders More Housewives, Bethenny Opens Up About Her New Show

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...
It's Spinoff Season at Bravo!

Bethenny Frankel minus the Housewives? Christian Siriano without the designers? Fabio Viviani and no quickfire challenge?
These are topsy-turvy times, folks, but as strange as these concepts may seem (all except for Bethenny, who is not in fact a wife), embrace them because these breakout personalities are on their way to superstardom in their own Bravo series.
The three docu-shows are currently untitled and in development, but brief descriptions have been provided by the network.

Kate Gosselin on Ice: A True Diva Show

Today's Jon & Kate Plus 8 news may be all about Jon Gosselin, but Kate Gosselin had her diva day on Saturday.
The TLC star was slated to participate in the Stars Stripes & Skates charity ice skating event, benefiting the Heritage Foundation of 9/11, in the Danbury Arena in Danbury, Conn. While she managed to still attend the event, Gosselin's arrival was not without several major snafus.
"Before she got there, it was very diva-esque," stage manager Kari Hoffman tells E! News exclusively.
Not only was there drama over Jill Zarin also being in attendance—Bravo was shooting Real Housewives of New York City in the venue—but Gosselin dissed the star skaters, a volunteer and Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky.

Hugh Hefner is still hoping Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson pose for Playboy someday, but now it's Megan Fox who is on the top of his wish list.
Hef simply says, "Megan is a fox."
The 83-year-old media tycoon's new Girls Next Door—Crystal Harris, 23, and 19-year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon—agree, but they're just as hot for the looking-better-than-ever Kelly Osbourne…
