Alec Baldwin Confirms End Of ?30 Rock? After Next Season

Bethenny Frankel Gets Her Own Talk Show!

Bethenny Frankel Gets Her Own Talk Show!

"I would like a daytime talk show," reality star Bethenny Frankel told Popeater in February. "Most of my business wishes come true," she added. Less than two months later, that one's already come to fruition.

According to RumorFix, Frankel's dreamed-about talk show is already in development, and is being backed by Telepictures, the production company behind The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Tyra.

Frankel already headlines her own Bravo show, Bethenny Ever After, which chronicles her daily life with her new husband, Jason Hoppy, since leaving The Real Housewives of New York. The show just got renewed for a third season.

So why does Frankel need another one? "My TV show communicates what I'm doing," she said of Bethenny Ever After. "But it isn't really a dialogue or a conversation (with my fans)."

It's actually not a surprising choice for Frankel, who cannily chronicled her recent stint on ABC's Skating With the Stars on Bethenny Ever After. (Oh, the cross-promotional synergy of it! TV execs must love this woman.) This is one former Housewife who always dreamed big: She's been an overachiever since we first saw her on The Apprentice: Martha Stewart in 2005. (Click here for more on her various professional projects.)

TV cameras are second nature to her, and her quick wit and camera-friendly looks will serve her well in a talk-show setting. Of course, she'll need to be on her game: Many have tried and failed to entertain the public this way, and there  are a lot of contenders vying to fill the Oprah void right now, including Katie Couric and Ricki Lake.

But as Frankel says, most of her business wishes come true. No doubt her next wish involves big ratings for her new show.

Chris Brown Gets Explicit For New "Spend It All" Vid

Breezy just dropped another video for a track called "Spend It All" he did for his fans. And Chris says he made this one for the strip clubs. Peep his NSFW visual he says you need to be over 18 to watch when you read on....

So basically....this is a video montage of Chris Brown performing at clubs mixed in with visuals of thongs full of a$$, strippers, a$$ claps, and ish like that. Sigh. Can't say I get the purpose of it, but do you boo....

Wendy Williams Gets FAB For Essence May 2011 DOUBLE Covers!

She was voted off "Dancing With The Stars" last night, but it's not dimming her shine.  Radio heroine turned talk show diva Wendy Williams is covering the upcoming May 2011 issue of ESSENCE magaizine...with double covers!  It's their first ever "Gilfriends issue," and who better to be the face than the chick most of us have been "friends in our head" with for years.

 

We've got Wendy's double covers--shot by photographer Derek Blanks--and details from the issue when you read on....

Maybe the cross-country traveling and being a mom to a pre-teen boy and a wife and shooting 2 shows at once was a bit much for Mrs. Wendy.  She was voted off "DWTS" last night.  But she says she's extremely proud to have done it--despite being bogged down with being every woman at the same time.

And because she's been doing it all while mainting her upbeat easy-to-relate attitude, "The Wendy Show" host and "Love Triangle" host graces ESSENCE’s first-ever “Girlfriends Issue” dedicated to friendships.

Wendy dishes to ESSENCE about friendship, family and the driving force behind the talk show queen’s appeal. The issue also features quotes from other celebrity besties—including Beyoncé and mom Tina Knowles; Sherri Shepherd and Niecy Nash; Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah; Kelly Rowland and Brandy; Monica and Keyshia Cole and more.

ESSENCE will also declare April 13th as “Girlfriends Appreciation Day” in honor of “besties” everywhere. And they're throwing a party for Mrs. Wendy--sponsored by Essie and Swarovski Elements celebrating the Girlfriends Issue.

"I know I make some people cringe. But I also know my willingness to expose myself, warts and all, is part of the reason people are drawn to me. With me, what you see is what you get..."—Wendy Williams, ESSENCE

 

According to the press release:

ESSENCE dedicates this month’s issue to your girl. The one who always says, “Don’t worry, I got you.” Whatever you need, she’s there—from taking care of your child to telling off your ex. Here, ESSENCE features seven essays from award-winning writers—including Terry McMillan and more—who describe the unbreakable bond between “sister friends.” (Page 151)

Her hosting gig for the original series “Love Triangle” premieres April 11th at 7pm ET/PT on GSN. 

Gorgeous covers for Wendy.  And I'm glad to finally see a different face on this mag.  It hits stands April 13th.  Congrats!
