Bethenny Frankel Launching Skin Care Line



Bethenny Frankel must know that alcohol isn't always good for your skin -- so now she'll have you covered, even if you drink too many SkinnyGirl Margaritas!

Frankel has partnered up with Lotta Luv to create a 30-product body and skin care line called Honesty by Bethenny -- which is a definite testament to her character!

"A $150 eye cream is ridiculous and absurd," she told Women's Wear Daily. "[Promises like] 'you're going to look like Heidi Klum in two days' or 'like you had a face-lift' have always bothered me."

Her products will range from lip glosses to body creams (all under $15) and debut in select Wal-Mart stores in November 2011.

Bethenny's Daughter Is Growing Up Fast!



Bethenny Frankel's 14 month old daughter Bryn is really getting older! It seems like just yesterday she wasn't even crawling and now..

“This week she started walking. She’s flying now,” Bethenny told PEOPLE while promoting her Skinnygirl Daily Cleanse & Restore yesterday. “It went from 12 steps, no pun intended, to now fully walking through the house.”

So how does Bethenny and hubby Jason Hoppy feel about giving baby Bryn a little brother or sister?

“We’re talking about [having another baby], but not really actively trying,” she reveals. “There’s anxiety because of my age to be honest, but I don’t want to make choices based on fear. You never want to make a fear-based decision like, ‘Oh my God, I’m 40, we have to have a kid now.’”

Bethenny Frankel has been all about creating her business since we first met her years ago on Real Housewives of New York. Now, she is adding the celebrity popular 'daily cleanse' to her line of Skinnygirl products.

"I wanted to create a product that was gentle on the stomach -- not extreme and hard -- that women could do every single day of the year," Frankel told Us Weekly. "The formula is packed with greens and fiber so it de-bloats you and keeps things moving."

"It's an all year-round health product," she said. "My fans know I'm not into gimmicks, so no one is losing 40 pounds on this. It's made to be part of your life so you can be overall healthy."

The product is called Skinnygirl Daily Cleanse & Restore and is available on Frankel's website for $59.99 (30 packets).

Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy are going to start trying for baby number two! With her SkinnyGirl business, books, tours, and the recent launch of SkinnyGirl Daily, she doesn't exactly have an open calendar but that won't stop Bethenny!

Last night at the Forbes event, the mother of Bryn told Radar Online that she and her hubby need to "start scheduling time" for baby making. “It's a weird concept, but we're going to have to schedule to try! We talk about having two children, definitely.  But I'm 40, like, we need to get on the bandwagon."

Ramona Singer: Bethenny Didn't Make $120 Mill



Real Housewives of New York star Ramona Singer has just released her own wine, but isn't a fan of Bethenny Frankel's Skinnygirl Margarita and doesn't believe for a second that the ex-wife really snagged $120 million for her company.

"Oh no, she likes to exaggerate," Ramona tells Rob Shuter on his HDNet show. "It's rumored, remember? It didn't say fact. Rumored."

Rumored as in the Hollywood Reporter citing insiders that have placed her deal to sell the Skinnygirl coctail line to Beam Global for a cool $120 mil.

"I was thinking before that figure came out she got about $30 million total," Ramona said. "And divided that between her and her partners David, and usually they do a pay out, they don't give you the money up front, they pay you out over time."

Ramona who likes to tell it like it is, says Jill Zarin has changed the most since the show started filming its fourth season on Bravo. "She's become quite full of herself. I'm the same. I'm a little unedited, a little bit of an unfiltered mouth. I don't talk behind your back, I talk about you right to your face."

Bethenny Used Reality TV to Make $120 Million

http://www.usmagazine.com/uploads/assets/articles/40520-bethenny-frankel-i-used-reality-tv-to-make-120-million/1303425170_frankel-290.jpgFor a Skinnygirl, Bethenny Frankel has a fat wallet!

The 40-year-old entrepreneur was hesitant to participate in reality TV when Bravo executives approached her in 2007; now, the natural-foods-chef turned mogul tells the Hollywood Reporter it was her screen-time that provided her the platform to launch a $120 million empire.

"I was worried [joining the cast of Real Housewives of New York] would ruin what I had going," says Frankel, who at the time was a Pepperidge Farm spokesperson and appeared on NBC's Today for a cooking segment. "I went on the show single-handedly and exclusively for business… When I went on the show, no one was going on for business, no one had done anything."

Throughout three seasons of Real Housewives, Frankel maximized her screen time and promoted her now-famous Skinnygirl product line. In 2010, she got her own reality show: Bethenny Ever After.

Under her own personal business umbrella, she's launched a successful publishing franchise, a Body by Bethenny workout DVD and her scored one of the most lucrative liquor deals in the industry with her calorie-conscious mixes.

Before her success on reality TV, Frankel's pitches to liquor companies for a low-calorie margarita went unheeded. "Now, every company I pitched this idea to has either tried to buy Skinnygirl or has copied it," she relishes. "I created a sub-category that never existed. I wasn't an expert--I was just another person bothered by a 700-calorie margarita."

Bethenny Frankel is Switching To Silk Soy

http://cdn.thegloss.com/files/2010/10/bethenny-frankel-skinnygirl-margarita-475x316.jpg

Bethenny Frankel is ripping it up as a reality TV star and an entrepreneur, seen recently grabbing her Silk Soy, Almond and Coconut milk products in a store in her Tribeca neighborhood.

She is making the switch from milk to Silk as part of the brand’s 10-day Challenge. Last week she even urged her followers to take the challenge via twitter - “Take the #SwitchtoSilk challenge with me! @LoveMySilk is healthier and tastes amazing.”

Frankel is dairy free, and she loves her knew Skinny Girl Margarita line too.

The former star of Bravo's Real Housewives Of New York has unleashed a unique tequila product. Donning a hairnet, goggles and a florescent jacket, Frankel told her TV show viewers she was 'shocked' and experienced a 'sensory overload' which took her breath away.

'I allowed myself to feel emotional about the greatest business accomplishment I've ever had, I did it."

Bethenny Sells Skinnygirl Cocktail Business

http://jacoboheme.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/bethenny-frankel-skinnygirl-margarita-475x316-1.jpg?w=475&h=316

Bethenny Frankel, reality star turned businesswoman, has successfully taken her entrepreneurship and sold it to a major organization. Skinnygirl, a Frankel's brand of low calorie cocktails, was acquired in a purchase made by Fortune Brands Incorporated.

Despite selling the company, Bethenny Frankel will remain on hand for the organization to help with design, collaboration and marketing efforts.

Launched in 2009, Skinnygirl was created by Bethenny Frankel and David Kanbar.

Financial details of the acquisition were not immediately disclosed.

Bethenny Frankel Doesn't Want To Talk RHONY

http://www.theimproper.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/bethenny-frankel.jpgBethenny Frankel isn’t the woman she was when America was introduced to her on the Real Housewives of New York three years ago. Back then, she was 37, single, always cracking wise about her cast-mates’ quirks and working as a chef. Now starring in Season 2 of her own show, Frankel is married with a baby and the kingpin of her SkinnyGirl brand.

Since she became a star and began touring the country giving talks, Frankel has been sought out as a sort of famous best girlfriend that fans will ask about anything.

“Everything from ‘I’m trying to find my way in college and I’m not sure what path I should take’ to ‘I’m single and 30 and my friends are pressuring me, but you’re an inspiration because I feel like I don’t have to do anything on any timeline.’ It’s every range of every women’s question and issue,” Frankel says.

On this season of Bethenny Ever After, we can expect to see her struggling to get the right work-life balance and adjusting to her new in-laws.

As for her past with the Real Housewives, we were curious if Frankel thought any of the other ladies in the franchise had the potential to do what she has accomplished.

“I’d rather talk about me than the other Housewives if that’s OK,” she suddenly snipped. “Thank you.”

Bethenny Frankel Wants Her Own Talk Show

http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20090730/293.frankel.bethenny.073009.jpgBethenny Frankel is quite the businesswoman. She's a natural-food chef, New York Times best-selling author and reality TV star -- just to name a few -- with a mile-long resume to prove she's not messing around when it comes to success.

Although she's found a home in the reality TV circuit as a former Real Housewives of New York star, she's looking to bring her brand to daytime television.

"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," she told PopEater at the British Airways Face To Face event in New York. And she's pretty hopeful it will happen. "Most of my business wishes come true."

Congrats on the second season of your Bravo show. Any juicy details?
Bethenny Ever After starts Feb. 28. It's about the texture of marriage and bringing together Venus and Mars, which is what my husband and I are. We're from two different planets. And he's religious, and I practice yoga. He wants to be around his parents all the time, and I like to be alone and just a lot of crazy things. It's really probably the only real reality show. It's a reality sitcom.

And you're also doing a Skinnygirl tour as well?
Yeah. It's me on a huge Skinnygirl tour bus, and my entire family comes with me. I speak for two hours, to primarily women, about everything from body image issues, weight issues and my first book, 'Naturally Thin.' I discuss those things, gossip a little bit and then do a Q&A, and then I do it all over again the next day. It is exhausting and draining, but I would say it is the most gratifying of everything I do.

Why is this the most gratifying thing you've done?
Because you get to speak to women. You're talking to college girls who are developing their identity, whether they want to be wives for a living, whether they want to be businesswomen, who they want to be, how they want to proceed and move on into the world. You're talking to women who have lost their husbands and want to talk about it to other women, people who are obsessed with dieting, people who have eating disorders. You're just talking to women about everything from breastfeeding to dieting to dating to gossip.

You also have a new book coming out. Can you tell me about it?
My new book is coming out March 22. 'A Place of Yes' is about how I got to where I am in my life now, in career and in family and the 10 rules to getting there.
