-Bethenny Frankel might not be the only person MIA from The Real Housewives of New York City. The remaining ladies - who earn approx. $4000 per episode - reportedly want Snooki-sized paychecks. (The Jersey Shore star earns $30,000/episode.)
-Conan O’Brien finally has a name for his TBS show: Conan. “I’m just using ‘Conan’ and dropping the ‘O’Brien’ because I want to get away from the whole Irish thing,” the late night host explained.

Bethenny Frankel Done with Real Housewives
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Gossip,
Who needs a hit Bravo show—when you already have your own?
Despite recently becoming a mother and an official wife, Bethenny Frankel has no interest in remaining one of the housewives. According to the Bethenny Getting Married? star, she’s calling it quits with her former reality show.
“Last season was scary and painful,” she said about The Real Housewives of New York City. “It took all of the joy out of it.”
And though a reconciliation between Jill Zarin and Bethenny seemed like a (very slight) possibility, Frankel says she doesn’t “see any reason to go back.”
This doesn’t necessarily mean we’ve already seen the last of Frankel on Housewives. She’s reportedly contracted to appear a few more times.
Filming on Season 4 will begin September 20.

What will Conan O’Brien say if he wins for The Tonight Show during this NBC event? Will Elisabeth Moss address soon-to-be ex-husband Fred Armisen if she wins for Best Supporting Actress? Oh – the awkward possibilities are endless!

Preview Season 3 of Real Housewives of Atlanta
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Gossip, Video,
“So I slept with a woman. Big deal. Call it a day. Keep in moving.”
Sorry, Lisa Wu Hartwell. Based on the drama seen in this new Real Housewives of Atlanta preview, it doesn’t really look like you’ll be missed next season.
When the juicy Bravo hit returns this fall, we’ll meet two new cast members: a model (Cynthia Bailey) who’s “only been engaged three times” and an entertainment lawyer (Phaedra Parks) who’s reportedly married to a criminal. Meanwhile, we’ll get more catfights between (thanks NeNe and Kim!), a lesbian relationship, an arrest and a troubled marriage. (Can we say buh-bye to D.C. already?)
Season 3 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres October 4.
