Bethenny Frankel isn’t afraid to put everything out there. She’s talked openly about her miscarriage, and now, she’s admitted that she has marital problems, too.

On her reality show, Bethenny Ever After, the 41 year-old star revealed that she and husband Jason Hoppy are “off course.”

“That’s what we’re doing in our lives: we keep having the same argument over and over again,” Bethenny tells Jason. “We’re off course.”

Not a great year for Bethenny Frankel. On Monday morning, the former 'Real Housewives of New York' star revealed that she recently suffered a miscarriage. And on 'Watch What Happens Live,' Frankel talked to host Andy Cohen about her additional medical problems.

“As a result of that experience [miscarriage], I was on an antibiotic Doxycycline," she told host Andy Cohen. "I took it at night without any water, went to bed and it burned a hole in my esophagus."
Bethanny Frankel appeared on the ‘Today’ show to reveal a very personal detail about herself. Frankel revealed that she was recently pregnant for eight weeks before suffering a miscarriage.

“That was a very emotional experience,” Frankel said. “The window is closing, and it’s something I’m dealing with.”

Bethenny has a daughter, Bryn, with her husband Jason Hoppy. The two welcomed their first child into the world in May 2010.

Frankel’s Bravo show, Bethenny Ever After returns for its third season on Monday, and Frankel says she’s grateful for her daughter. But when it comes to having another child: “I’m not really thinking about it.”

The former “Real Housewives of New York” star, Bethenny Frankel admits she and her husband Jason Hoppy are struggling in the bedroom department…if you know what I mean…and I think you do, because I pretty much outlined it in the headline of this story.

“My marriage is not perfect,” says Bethenny, “Intimacy is challenging.”

The saddest thing is, they’ve been married less than 2 years. But like most celebrity couples, two years is pretty much the expiration date, so she should be thankful, really.
Forget business school, reality TV is the best way to become a tycoon.

Okay, don't actually drop out of college or anything. It's actually really important. Stay in school, kids.

But reality star Bethenny Frankel has certainly used her Real Housewives fame to her advantage. The star of the Real Housewives of New York sold her Skinnygirl Brand to Fortune Brands for $8 million. Or $100 million. Or $120. Okay, let me explain.

It was originally reported that Frankel made $100 million in the deal, as announced by Forbes Magazine. Though, to be fair, they did report that it was an "estimated" amount. Couple digits off, though. Other media outlets suggested the sum was as high as $120 million.

The world's prettiest Michael Jackson impersonator, Bethenny Frankel, is ready to have another baby. Frankel already has a fourteen month-old daughter, Bryn Casey, with husband Jason Hoppy.

“This week she started walking. She’s flying now,” Frankel said.

Most likely, the kid was trying to escape. After starring in the petty, chaotic reality show The Real Housewives of New York City, Frankel started her own brand, Skinnygirl...

Between the Kardashians and Jersey Shore, reality stars ruled 2010, so it should come as no surprise that most of them made millions from endorsements alone this year.

Kim Kardashian worked her tush off this year earning an estimated $6 million in endorsements, licensing deals, celebratory appearance fees, and sponsored tweets, reports The Daily Beast.

Reality darling Lauren Conrad kept a low profile this year and still managed to make over $5 million from her book deals, fashion line and new reality show.

Thanks to her Skinny Girl line and reality show Bethenny Frankel rounded out the top three with $4 million.

Bethenny Frankel is in a pretty good position right now. She’s been successful in distancing herself from Real Housewives of New York, although she’s still technically contracted to them.

With her own reality show, Frankel has been able to break free and stay in the spotlight at the same time. We’ll be seeing more of her on Bethenny Getting Married, which has gotten picked up for another season.

Bethenny told Hollyscoop at the MTV VMA awards, “People love my show because I am telling the truth. It is what it is…that’s my real life…every minute, nothing sensationalized.”

She added that it’s “not scripted at all,” and what you see on the screen is what’s really happening in her, Jason, and baby Bryn’s lives.

As for Real Housewives, as Hollyscoop previously reported that Frankel will be returning to the show for the fourth season. But Bethenny continued to play coy with us, saying, “I wont go back to Real Housewives unless I have to. If I am legally obligated. I don’t know--they haven’t started yet, so I have to see.”

Since Bethenny has had so much success in the reality world, we couldn’t help but ask if she would ever consider doing Dancing With the Stars. “There’s been so many seasons of it,” she told us, adding, “Maybe something else like it,” she teased.

Interesting! We love Bethenny, and think she’s in her reality prime right now! She should continue to ride the wave as long as possible!

Great news for Real Housewives of New York City fans, despite contrary reports, Bethenny Frankel IS returning for the fourth season of the hit Bravo show.

Sources close to Bethenny tell Hollyscoop exclusively, "She's been asked to return for the new season and negotiations are ongoing."

Bethenny's old bff Jill Zarin and her archenemy Kelly Bensimon will also return for some more drama. LuAnn de Lesseps, Alex McCord and Sonja Morgan are also returning for season four. And rumor has it that Bravo is also courting a "wealthy Hamptons housewife" for the new season.

Meanwhile, Bethenny's other hit show "Bethenny Getting Married?" has been renewed for a second season, because let's face it, everyone loves Bethenny.

Bethenny is the reason Real Housewives of New York City was such a success. She's the first person to call out a crazy person for acting crazy, or to make fun of herself when she does something ridiculous. All in all, Bravo was smart to convince her into another season.
