Ellen Is Helping Bethenny With Her New Pilot

Bethenny Frankel has a talk show in the works and you'd never guess who she's got backing her up! It's the queen of daytime herself, Ellen Degeneres. Ellen's producers are even rumored to be producing Bethenny's pilot.

She's filming the pilot episode out west, but if picked up, Bethenny will film the show in her hometown on New York City.

NeNe Leakes Wants Her Own Talk Show

Oprah Winfrey will soon be stepping down from her throne as the current Queen of Daytime Talk, and it seems NeNe Leakes might be in a position to take the crown.

NeNe has been in talks with several producers and might even relocate to Miami to host her own daytime talk show, Radar Online reports.

“NeNe is actively shopping herself around and she wants her own chat show and if that does not happen, she would like her own reality show instead,” a source told Radar Online.

After season 3 of RHOA, there were rumors that NeNe would not return to the series. Her multiple confrontations with co-stars Dwight Eubanks, Kandi Burruss and especially Kim Zolciak were seemingly taking a toll on NeNe.

Although some may question whether NeNe has the warmth of other successful female talk-show hosts, she doesn’t seem to have those doubts.

“She thinks she has what it takes to be the next Oprah or Wendy Williams,” the source said. “With Oprah's show coming off the air soon, she believes the time is right for a new Black female talk show host.”

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star has had some experience interviewing celebs. As seen on the Bravo reality show, she interviewed Atlanta stars, such as producer Jermaine Dupri, for a show on a local TV station.

NeNe, who is reportedly in the middle of a divorce, isn’t just looking to TV ventures to support herself. She’s also diving into the world of fashion.

"NeNe really wants to brand herself with her own clothing, makeup and hair products lines, and she is confident she can pull it off,” the source said.

NeNe Leakes Plans To Be The Next Oprah

Celebrity Apprentice star NeNe Leakes wants to follow in Oprah Winfrey's footsteps by getting her own talk show, Radar Online has exclusively learned.

The reality diva has been in talks with several producers and production companies and wants to relocate from Atlanta to Miami for her new venture.

The former stripper has still not signed-up to do another series of Real Housewives Of Atlanta on the Bravo Network and is working to re-invent herself.

A source told Radar Online: "NeNe is actively shopping herself around and she wants her own chat show and if that does not happen she would like her own reality show instead.

"She was encouraged when she did some slots with local television stations in Atlanta and she thinks that she has what it takes to be the next Oprah or Wendy Williams.

"Both Bravo and VH-1 have had talks with her about several projects although Bravo were hoping to get her back for one more year on Real Housewives.

"NeNe really wants to brand herself with her own clothing, make-up and hair products lines, and she is confident she can pull it off.

"Celebrity Apprentice has given her more confidence but she sees moving to Miami as key to her success and now that her marriage is all but over she is ready to commit but she wants the right project to be in place."

Bethenny Frankel Gets Her Own Talk Show

In February, Bethenny Frankel told the press that she wanted her own talk show. Now, RumorFix is reporting exclusively that her dream is coming true.

Our staff has learned the star of Bethenny Ever After has just signed a deal with Telepictures, which is the production company behind The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Tyra, Lopez Tonight and Anderson.

Bethenny gained fame as one of the Real Housewives of New York, and quickly became a media darling by starring in her own spinoff TV show, Celebrity Apprentice and Skating with the Stars.

Bethenny's show is currently in development; two months ago, the reality star told Popeater why she wanted a talk show:

"I would like a daytime talk show because my conversation with my fans right now is through social networking, and my TV show communicates what I'm doing, but it isn't really a dialogue or a conversation."

And then she said something very prophetic, "Most of my business wishes come true."
