Huffington Post is reporting that Bethenny's days with Bravo are numbered. Bethenny has been added as the new host of an upcoming Telepictures talk show, which her pal Ellen Degeneres is involved in. The pairing is no surprise as Bethenny seems to be on Ellen's current talk show every week.
“Telepictures couldn’t be happier with the pilot Bethenny shot. They know they have discovered the next great talk show host and it's Bethenny,” a TV insider tells HP. “This is 100 percent on the fast track. Plus, with Ellen behind her this will be huge.”
The insider adds, “Bravo has been good to Bethenny but at the same time, Bethenny has been good to Bravo. This is business and making the right move for her future. She will always be grateful for everything they have done but at the same time, after the tragic news of the suicide of a cast member of the Beverly Hills 'Housewives,' she doesn’t want to be part of an organization that rewards bad behavior.”
Whatever Bethenny's feelings on Bravo and reality TV are, she's still a part of it. Bethenny was spotted filming away in New York City with comedian Lisa Lampanelli at ROC Restaurant, Monday, August 22. Bethenny wore a green top, white skirt and gold heels, looking very sophisticated.
Bethenny is preparing to move, but not to LA like she once tried to do. She just closed on a 3,000-square-foot $4.5 million, four-bedroom home located in Tribeca. The home is in the same building that hosted the most non secretive secretive wedding of all time, Beyonce and Jay-Z's.>
It appears that Bethenny is finally using that $120 million she earned in the Skinnygirl deal. The home is definitely an upgrade from the cute, but small apartment she filmed her reality show in during past season. According to Trulia (who has more photos of the posh place):
It’s an enormous (not a word you hear very often in NYC real estate), corner unit with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 11’3 ceilings. 16 large windows line the walls, opening the home up to spectacular New York City views. A decorative fireplace with Bateig Azul limestone is the centerpiece of the formal living/dining room, including wet bar with wine fridge, sink and ice-maker. Sunny east-facing kitchen features Pietra di Bedonia stone counter tops, glass tiles, Sub Zero refrigerator, Thermador professional stovetop, warming oven, and a Miele dishwasher.
Situated in the Northeast corner is the media room complete with blackout shades, and “built-ins” housing state-of-the-art surround sound for the entire home. A library is attached to a sizeable master suite and incredible Chambord limestone clad master bath with maple cabinetry, dual sinks, Whirlpool soaking tub and separate standing steam shower. Two additional bedrooms and bathrooms are also finished in Chambord limestone/glass tile and glass mosaic tiles.But Bethenny still has some interest in going LA. Her fourth reality star, yes fourth, titled Bethenny Goes L.A., will debut later this year. For someone with so much to say about Bravo and reality TV, she sure can't get away from them. She's competing with the Kardashians for most reality shows.
Bethenny has recently denied that her show is getting a new title. She tweeted, "My show isn’t called “bethenny goes LA.” Bit of advice:50%of what you hear is true (if that)."
Bethenny is definitely loving white this summer. She wore another white outfit, this time a cute knitted dress, as she was leaving the Prada store in SoHo, New York, Tuesday, August 30. Although it's a close call, this knit dress beats Bethenny's white outfit above by a hair. It's just uber chic and a perfect daytime summer look.
