Andy Dick Sued by Comedy Fan For Being Super Gross

Well, here's a shocker. Andy Dick is in trouble again for crossing the line, this time with a comedy fan in Texas, who alleges in a new lawsuit that the outrageous performer made his private parts public, then forced them onto the patron's head.

Details of the lewd encounter are courtesy of the lawsuit Robert Tucker filed this week in Dallas County, according to RadarOnline.com.

In mid-December, Tucker says he went to see Dick's live comedy show, but wasn't at all entertained. He claims the comedian was singing in a blond wig, black camisole and loose red skit when he stepped off the stage to interact with his audience. And that's when trouble started.


Allegedly, the comic replied to Tucker's autograph request by sidling up close and kneeling on a tall bar stool, before opening the skirt. Dick (sans underwear) then reportedly palmed Tucker's head for what he likely thought was a grinding moment of misguided comedy. The lawsuit explains:

"Defendant Dick then, while still controlling Plaintiff's head with his hand, forced his genitals against the left side of Plaintiff's face." (The Dallas Observer posts video of the incident here.)

The faux-job triggered Tucker's lawsuit, citing defamation of conduct and infliction of emotional distress, and seeking unspecified damages. The suit targets both Dick and his talent agency.

A former TV actor ('NewsRadio') and South Carolina native, Dick, 45, has made a mid-life career out of his legal tangles and substance-abuse issues. He appeared on Dr. Drew Pinksy's 'Sober Living House' show in 2009, but had run-ins with the law throughout 2010 for sexual abuse and exposing himself in public.

Earlier this month, just days after he was spotted at a 'Bridesmaids' premiere afterparty, Dick was arrested at a California restaurant on a misdemeanor charge of "disorderly conduct with alcohol."

Johnny Depp Joins 'Pirates 4' Cast in Cannes

Saturday at the Cannes Film Festival in the South of France, Johnny Depp joined Penelope Cruz to talk up the premiere of his 3-D sequel 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,' the fourth in the smash hit Disney series.

Depp, 47, said his Captain Jack character is back by popular demand, and he's happy to oblige.

"If the people get tired of it or something, that's when it stops, I think," he told a press conference. "If people want it, I'm there."

Returning to the 'Pirates' family to play Captain Jack's father is Rolling Stones star Keith Richards.

Cruz, new to the franchise, was pregnant on set while playing Blackbeard's beguiling daughter Angelica, a foil to Captain Jack who nevertheless shares his desire to find the Fountain of Youth.

Meanwhile, according to Reuters, the 37-year-old actress told the Cannes crowd she's not fixated on youth: "I think birthdays are always something to celebrate," she said. "I'm looking forward to every step of the way. Maybe because I'm from Spain, that's looked at in a different way there than, for example, in a place like Los Angeles."

Is Bethenny Frankel Worth More Than the Kardashians?!

This is one savvy Skinnygirl.

Kim Kardashian may have the bigger booty, but reality star/mom/mogul/margarita mix master�Bethenny Frankel's got the�bigger bank account. This reality star trumps the Kardashian clan?who have pocked millions from best-sellers, numerous E! shows and even paid tweets?all with a cocktail and a dream.

So how did Bethenny do it?

Well, not from Bravo, that's for sure.

Rather than earning megaprofits from the former reality shows, the former Real Housewives of New York City castmember uses them to gain fans and plug her brand, reports The Hollywood Reporter, who sat down with the star right after she signed that massive liquor deal. Topping off all the TV exposure, Frankel's always been extremely savvy when it comes to using Twitter, Facebook and her website to promote her books, workout tips and recipes?amassing over 500,000 followers combined from the sites.

All of her outside moneymaking and branding ventures fall under her personal business umbrella, called Bethenny Frankel.

Running the now extremely successful business, which she began as a modest startup while living with her dog Cookie in her small Manhattan apartment, has worked out quite well for Frankel. Besides tying the knot with hubby Jason Hoppy and giving birth to daughter Bryn, the entrepreneur has managed to do the following after kicking off filming on the first season of RHONY with just $8,000 in her bank account:

? Lucrative Endorsement Deals: Frankel has starred in ads and commercials for Pepperidge Farm Cookies, Bluefly and Hanes.

? Three Published Books: Her first tome, Naturally Thin, was purchased in a "very lucrative" deal by publishing house Simon & Schuster, was on the New York Times best-seller list for 18 weeks. Just nine months later, she released her second book, The Skinnygirl Dish, full of recipes on what exactly she's putting in her skinny bod. She's now released a third book, A Place of Yes, after rewriting her entire first draft. Fun fact: She does most of her writing on planes or in bed wearing pajamas.

? RHONYC/Bethenny Ever After: This is where Frankel built her enormous fan following, who will buy basically anything she slaps the Skinnygirl title on. RHONY debuted in October 2008 and she did the next three seasons, outwitting and outplugging everyone and parlaying that fame into her own show, now titled Bethenny Ever After, which shows a softer side of the now married mom.

? Workout DVD: In Body by Bethenny, the personable Frankel makes yoga look fun while joking with her yoga partner and, of course, plugging her Skinnygirl brand on her shirt.

? Skinnygirl Extensions: The Skinnygirl "lifestyle" includes a shapewear line, diet cleanse and weight-loss supplements. Of her "lazy lingerie" Frankel says, "I don't like to wear lingerie, but my husband loves it. So I created lazy lingerie. You wear it under a blazer or sweater during the day, but when you pull it off, you have on lingerie. It solves a problem."

? Speaking Engagements: With an agent, a booker, manager and PR rep, Frankel earns cash speaking about everything from business to dating and love to food.

? Skating With the Stars:�Frankel cross-promoted this one, as it's currently living on in behind-the-scenes moments on Bethenny Ever After. She managed to squeeze in practice and a trip to Los Angeles with her hubby and 11-month old babyin tow and finished in second place?winning over even more fans in the process.�

? Liquor Deal: This is Frankel's bread and butter, creating the Skinnygirl margarita after looking for a way to down her favorite drink without all that sugar. After developing the idea for the mix, she began shopping it around to liquor distributors, but no one would take her seriously in a male-dominated market. Finally, after six months of back-and-forth with Beam, who showed interest, she struck a deal (estimated at around $120 million) with the company to produce her formula worldwide. "I created a sub-category that never existed. I wasn't an expert, I was just another person bothered by a 700-calorie margarita," she said.

Frankel's been so successful in her endeavors that network heads are now even rethinking the way their reality stars have been using the networks for personal gain. Some have even begun to include clauses in new talent contracts that would award the network a portion of the money made from the result of a talent's time on a show.

Looks like Frankel's changed the game. And beaten everybody to the punch.�

Filed under: Jermaine Lewis, TMZ Sports, Celebrity Justice, Exclusive 0817-lewis-jermaine-small-EXRetired NFL receiver Jermaine Lewis tells TMZ, he was NOT resisting arrest when police entered his home and tased him in front of his 4-year-old son on Monday -- after he allegedly went on a reckless joyride.

According to the Baltimore County Police report, 36-year-old Jermaine was accused of driving like a maniac -- swerving all over the place and even hitting a fire department sign in Reisterstown, MD ... without stopping.

According to the report, an officer showed up to the former Baltimore Raven's house soon after he had gotten home and attempted to place Jermaine under arrest for hit-and-run -- but the ex-NFL star allegedly resisted, so the officer tased him.

But now Jermaine is PISSED -- telling TMZ, "I never resisted arrest." Lewis says he was merely sitting on his couch when the officers resorted to using the taser.

What's worse -- Jermaine claims the officer callously whipped out the weapon in front his 4-year-old son ... telling us, his son "was very upset crying and my dog was barking."

Jermaine was released Tuesday on $50,000 bail. He's best known for his thrilling kickoff return touchdown in Super Bowl XXXV.

Was Mariah Carey Reported for Drinking in the Hospital?

All new parents have their hands full, but Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon also dealt with a very unexpected visitor in the hospital where their daughter and son, Monroe and Moroccan, were born April 30.

"Child Protective Services actually came to me," Cannon told Piers Morgan on CNN Thursday, "And said that they were here to see me because there had been allegations that there was drug and alcohol use during the stay in the hospital."

But it's hardly as scandalous as it sounds: Cannon believes someone involved in Carey's care was overheard discussing a beer that allegedly boosts breastmilk production. Many moms of twins receive lactation tips specific to the challenges of feeding two newborns, but most can probably count on more privacy than Mariah Carey.

"It all started when a nurse suggested to my wife that if you drink Guinness, the dark beer, the yeast improves breastfeeding," Cannon added. "I don't know if someone heard that [and] were saying my wife was drinking beer. People will do anything to try to conjure up a story."


Cannon's theory is that a mundane conversation became a wild rumor only because of the new mom's celebrity. According to Us, he said the rep responding to information about alcohol in the patients' room understood the circumstances and agreed the allegation was ridiculous.

"To even have to deal with that, with my wife in the state that she's in while we're in the hospital, to even have to think about someone possibly wanting to investigate your children," Cannon said. "It's sad at the end of the day...when you think about people trying to make a buck off newborn babies."

Guinness beer tips aside, nursing twins is serious business for some moms, as 'Modern Family' star Julie Bowen proudly explained during a chat with George Lopez last year. On the other hand, twin mom Jennifer Lopez caused a mini-scandal in the parenting blogosphere when she confidently told People magazine she was forgoing breastfeeding altogether.

Inc. is launching a television network for rich guys and their toys.</p> <p>Called Velocity, the new network will replace the current network HD Theater in some 40 million homes on Sept. 25, Discovery

The rapid adoption of high-def by consumers, and the addition of high-def versions of a full network's signal, rendered HD Theater obsolete.</p> <p>Discovery has tested a series of programs on HD Theater in recent months that will make the switch to Velocity. They include "Chasing Classic Cars," "Cafe Racer" and "Mecum Auto Auctions."</p> <p>As those titles suggest, cars will be the "bull's-eye" of Velocity programming, Zaslav said.</p> <p> "Culturally, cars are so important for us guys in America," he said. "We grew up dreaming about what the day would be like when we got our licenses and what cars we would drive."</p> <p>Velocity will also televise an upscale sailing race that touches on five oceans, travel programming to upscale locations, adventure sports and "real-life adrenaline shows," said Robert Scanlon, senior vice president of Velocity.</p> <p>If done right, Velocity could be a magnet for advertisers, who generally pay a premium to reach an upscale audience.</p> <p>There are no plans for a network to appeal to rich women.

But a Milwaukee County judge dismissed the case Tuesday at the district attorney's request after the pipe tested negative for the drug, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.</p> <p> "We concluded that this case was not provable," Chief Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern said.</p> <p>Williams lives in New York but is participating in experimental treatment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He said he forgot the pipe was in his bag, and apologized for inconveniencing the airport security agents, deputies and court system. Williams said he is thankful that he can put the episode behind him.</p> <p> "This isn't about somebody trying to do something illicit. I'm really just trying to take my medication. Hopefully this issue and this incident will spark some conversations that will help more rational minds find a way to solve the problem and take the patients off the battlefield."</p> <p>___</p> <p>The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report can be found at: http://bit.ly/gIHdoG </p> <p>___</p> <p>Information from: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, http://www.jsonline.com </p> <p class="copyright">Copyright 2011 The Associated Press.

"My friends think it's cool I have all the treatments and they want to be like me," Britney reportedly told the U.K.'s Sun. "I check every night for wrinkles [and] when I see some, I want more injections....They used to hurt, but now I don't cry that much...I also want a boob and nose job soon."</p><p>Campbell has also reportedly administered bikini waxes to her daughter in the hopes that she won't grow pubic hair.

PBS is also due to receive $6 million to help public TV stations make the transition to digital services, less than it had hoped for, and another amount for an education initiative with the funding to be determined by the Department of Education, she said.</p> <p>If passed by Congress and signed into law, this would make for another year where there was much talk about defunding public broadcasting, but no action.</p> <p>Kerger, president and CEO of the Public Broadcasting Service, said the response of viewers and listeners was key. The advocacy group Association of Public Television Stations coordinated a lobbying effort that had a half-million people send emails to congressional offices and more to make phone calls on behalf of public broadcasting.</p> <p> "That changed everything," Kerger said. "As eloquent as we hope we can be to articulate the case for public broadcasting, at the end of the day it's really the American people that count."</p> <p>Three-quarters of the main CPB funding is distributed among the 360 public television stations, with the remainder going to 600 public radio stations across the country.</p> <p>National Public Radio proved to be the focus of criticism, mostly from Republicans. NPR's president and CEO, Vivian Schiller, resigned last month after hidden camera footage from a conservative activist revealed a fellow executive there referring to the tea party movement as racist. NPR had also been criticized for firing analyst Juan Williams over comments he made about Muslims.</p> <p>The House voted separately to eliminate CPB funding entirely and to eliminate funding for NPR, but those efforts went nowhere in the Senate.</p> <p>Joyce Slocum, interim chief executive at NPR, said she was gratified that funding will be retained. "It's a recognition that public radio provides an essential public service," she said. In its lobbying, NPR stressed that the money was for local stations, not for NPR itself.</p> <p>The budget deal also provides the system with hope for the future. The deal promises the CPB some $445 million in funding for the 2013 budget year, on top of $430 million more set aside for next year. It doesn't mean those appropriations can't be revisited, but it would take a specific effort to undo them, said Anne Bentley, Kerger's spokeswoman.</p> <p>Critics will be back again, said Wesley Denton, spokesman for public broadcasting critic Sen. Jim DeMint, a South Carolina Republican.</p> <p>It's a financial issue, Denton said: "They don't need it and we don't have it."</p> <p>For television stations, an average of 15 percent of their funding comes from this CPB appropriation, Kerger said. But this amount varies across the country, with stations in rural areas far more dependent on the federal money, she said.</p> <p>Kerger said many lawmakers also recognized the influence that PBS stations have on children with programming geared primarily toward pre-school youngsters. Children's viewership this season is up 21 percent over last year, the network said.</p> <p>The funding threat also helped PBS with its fundraising among viewers, she said. The number of pledges during the system's March fundraising drive was up 17 percent, with 23 percent more money being given.</p> <p>During meetings with lawmakers, some suggested that the government help PBS go commercial to avoid such threats in the future. But Kerger said some commercial networks that started with the intention of showing programming similar to PBS eventually had to turn to more lightweight fare.</p> <p> "If you want to ensure that there is public broadcasting all over the country, then government funding is very important," she said.</p> <p class="copyright">Copyright 2011 The Associated Press.

In 2009, his successor, Peter Englund, worried the prize was too "Eurocentric."</p> <p>The list of the past 20 laureates includes one American ? novelist Toni Morrison, in 1993 ? and 11 European writers, including German novelist Gunter Grass and British playwright Harold Pinter. Some of the others selected during that time are not from Europe but have spent much of their writing careers there.</p> <p>The literature prize election is by secret ballot among the 18 members of the Swedish Academy. Espmark has been a member of the Academy since 1981.</p> <p>Engdahl sparked an uproar in 2008 when he declared in an interview with the AP that Europeans tend to win because they deserve to win, particularly compared with Americans, whom he dismissed as "too sensitive to trends in their own mass culture."</p> <p>Engdahl's words were taken out of context, Espmark said Wednesday.</p> <p> "That interview was summed up in such a way that could make you think that American writers were out of the question because they were too insular and so on. That's just nonsense," he said. "What he talked about actually is that very little translated literature is read in America."</p> <p>Very few foreign-language books make it into English, especially in the U.S. market, and even fewer reach a wide audience, as Espmark pointed out.</p> <p> "It's just a matter of a low percentage of translation that makes American audiences rather unaware of what happens in other countries," he said.</p> <p>He also said he disagreed with Englund when he revealed in 2009 that he thought it was a problem that members of the Swedish Academy tend to "relate more easily to literature written in Europe and in the European tradition."</p> <p> "The nation is not important, and balance (of laureates' homelands) is not interesting," Espmark said, noting that the panel tries to be impartial and make selections based purely on literary criteria.</p> <p>Espmark, who is a professor emeritus of literary history at Stockholm University, was in Rhode Island as part of a tour to promote his latest collection of poetry, "Lend Me Your Voice." He gave a lecture at Providence College and read from the poetry collection; he spoke to the AP afterward.</p> <p class="copyright">Copyright 2011 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

She told E! News last month that her former boyfriend's "pattern has started" and warned Maynard that she better get out as fast as she can.</p> <p>Now, regarding the <em>Life & Style</em> report of Brad and Emily's breakup, Kagay has more to say.</p> <p>"It's sad how true and identical this sounds to how our relationship was," she tells us.</p> <p>"I don't know what it will take to make Brad realize there is some work that needs to be done for him to move forward with a healthy, successful relationship. In the meantime, I think Brad is pushing away some incredible women who want to love him. Everyone deserves happiness and I hope somewhere, somehow Brad can find what he is looking for. He just needs to realize nobody is perfect."</p> <p><strong>?Additional reporting by Katie Rhames and Ken Baker</strong></p> <!-- internal videos / html on top --> <!-- external videos / html on top --> <!-- audio player --> <!-- gallery preview--> <!-- custom polls --> <!-- movie review grade wrapper (can't think of a better way to do this) --> <!-- movie review grade --> <!-- expandable video --> <p><strong>PHOTOS: Big Celebrity Splits!<br/></strong></p> <!-- internal videos / html on top --> <!-- external videos / html on top --> <!-- audio player --> <!-- gallery preview--> <!-- custom polls --><!-- movie review grade wrapper (can't think of a better way to do this) --><!-- movie review grade --><!-- expandable video --> </div><p><a href="http://www.avrilbandaids.com/forums/members/arthurshannn1025-2410890.html">media services</a> <a href="http://www.blogster.com/lutherreily511/ideas-on-starting-off-your-maltese-puppy-instruction-at-property">movies</a> <a href="http://current.com/users/codybenjamn922.htm">showcase cinemas</a> <a href="http://valentinbens625.livejournal.com/791.html">movies news</a> <a href="http://www.mydamnchannel.com/viewdamnprofile.aspx?user=henryrommn615">news</a> </p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01335752622727802692' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01335752622727802692' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>ushotnews</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://ushotnews.blogspot.com/2011/09/is-bachelor-brad-really-broken-up-with_28.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://ushotnews.blogspot.com/2011/09/is-bachelor-brad-really-broken-up-with_28.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2011-09-28T15:24:00-07:00'>3:24 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://ushotnews.blogspot.com/2011/09/is-bachelor-brad-really-broken-up-with_28.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-650428632'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=6106689856178058940&postID=1109134473122134697&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6106689856178058940&postID=1109134473122134697&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6106689856178058940&postID=1109134473122134697&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

PBS is also due to receive $6 million to help public TV stations make the transition to digital services, less than it had hoped for, and another amount for an education initiative with the funding to be determined by the Department of Education, she said.</p> <p>If passed by Congress and signed into law, this would make for another year where there was much talk about defunding public broadcasting, but no action.</p> <p>Kerger, president and CEO of the Public Broadcasting Service, said the response of viewers and listeners was key. The advocacy group Association of Public Television Stations coordinated a lobbying effort that had a half-million people send emails to congressional offices and more to make phone calls on behalf of public broadcasting.</p> <p> "That changed everything," Kerger said. "As eloquent as we hope we can be to articulate the case for public broadcasting, at the end of the day it's really the American people that count."</p> <p>Three-quarters of the main CPB funding is distributed among the 360 public television stations, with the remainder going to 600 public radio stations across the country.</p> <p>National Public Radio proved to be the focus of criticism, mostly from Republicans. NPR's president and CEO, Vivian Schiller, resigned last month after hidden camera footage from a conservative activist revealed a fellow executive there referring to the tea party movement as racist. NPR had also been criticized for firing analyst Juan Williams over comments he made about Muslims.</p> <p>The House voted separately to eliminate CPB funding entirely and to eliminate funding for NPR, but those efforts went nowhere in the Senate.</p> <p>Joyce Slocum, interim chief executive at NPR, said she was gratified that funding will be retained. "It's a recognition that public radio provides an essential public service," she said. In its lobbying, NPR stressed that the money was for local stations, not for NPR itself.</p> <p>The budget deal also provides the system with hope for the future. The deal promises the CPB some $445 million in funding for the 2013 budget year, on top of $430 million more set aside for next year. It doesn't mean those appropriations can't be revisited, but it would take a specific effort to undo them, said Anne Bentley, Kerger's spokeswoman.</p> <p>Critics will be back again, said Wesley Denton, spokesman for public broadcasting critic Sen. Jim DeMint, a South Carolina Republican.</p> <p>It's a financial issue, Denton said: "They don't need it and we don't have it."</p> <p>For television stations, an average of 15 percent of their funding comes from this CPB appropriation, Kerger said. But this amount varies across the country, with stations in rural areas far more dependent on the federal money, she said.</p> <p>Kerger said many lawmakers also recognized the influence that PBS stations have on children with programming geared primarily toward pre-school youngsters. Children's viewership this season is up 21 percent over last year, the network said.</p> <p>The funding threat also helped PBS with its fundraising among viewers, she said. The number of pledges during the system's March fundraising drive was up 17 percent, with 23 percent more money being given.</p> <p>During meetings with lawmakers, some suggested that the government help PBS go commercial to avoid such threats in the future. But Kerger said some commercial networks that started with the intention of showing programming similar to PBS eventually had to turn to more lightweight fare.</p> <p> "If you want to ensure that there is public broadcasting all over the country, then government funding is very important," she said.</p> <p class="copyright">Copyright 2011 The Associated Press.

But a Milwaukee County judge dismissed the case Tuesday at the district attorney's request after the pipe tested negative for the drug, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.</p> <p> "We concluded that this case was not provable," Chief Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern said.</p> <p>Williams lives in New York but is participating in experimental treatment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He said he forgot the pipe was in his bag, and apologized for inconveniencing the airport security agents, deputies and court system. Williams said he is thankful that he can put the episode behind him.</p> <p> "This isn't about somebody trying to do something illicit. I'm really just trying to take my medication.

"It would be like watching someone go on a date with your ex-wife. The film made a lot of noise but wasn't that big. Otherwise you'd have 2 and 3 out already."</p></div><br /><!--Starting of UEC --> <!--End of UEC --><br /> Tom admits that back in his Duke days he would pop open a beer around 5 while they were still working, but doesn't do that anymore. "That'll get you fired now," says Tom who is still friends with co-star John Schneider. "We just did a jazz-country-pop show. We were there for two nights and it was a lot of fun."<p>Tom concedes that John was the cuter of the two, but tells me he is definitely the better singer. He says they've both done quite well because of the show. "Well it's not like with 'Seinfeld' but we did okay," Tom says.</p><p>Returning to performing live and recording music is his passion now and he doesn't mind not getting recognized that much anymore on the street. "No, I don't do the celebrity thing," says Tom.</p><p>For my entire interview with Tom, that included his fond memories of ladies in denim, <strong>tune into 'Naughty But Nice with Rob' this Saturday at 1 PM and 7 PM only on HDNet.</strong><!-- surphace end --> </p> <br /> </div><p><a href="http://sketchcast.com/channel/stephanwll128">entertainment tonight</a> <a href="http://www.frameshow.com/photoframecommunity/member.php?u=985307">entertainment weekly</a> <a href="http://quizilla.teennick.com/stories/21826146/lasio-brazilian-keratin-treatment"">media services</a> <a href="http://themeforest.net/user/dwaynedyrr512">movies</a> <a href="http://www.myindospace.com/blog/view_blog.php?BlogId=169875#viewdetails">showcase cinemas</a> </p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01335752622727802692' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01335752622727802692' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>ushotnews</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://ushotnews.blogspot.com/2011/09/tom-wopat-thinks-movie-was-bust_28.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://ushotnews.blogspot.com/2011/09/tom-wopat-thinks-movie-was-bust_28.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2011-09-28T00:24:00-07:00'>12:24 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://ushotnews.blogspot.com/2011/09/tom-wopat-thinks-movie-was-bust_28.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-650428632'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=6106689856178058940&postID=1434962035144936734&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6106689856178058940&postID=1434962035144936734&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6106689856178058940&postID=1434962035144936734&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

She's now released a third book, <em>A Place of Yes</em>, after rewriting her entire first draft. Fun fact: She does most of her writing on planes or in bed wearing pajamas.</p> <p><strong>? <em>RHONY</em>C/<em>Bethenny Ever After</em>:</strong> This is where Frankel built her enormous fan following, who will buy basically anything she slaps the Skinnygirl title on. <em>RHONY</em> debuted in October 2008 and she did the next three seasons, outwitting and outplugging everyone and parlaying that fame into her own show, now titled <em>Bethenny Ever After</em>, which shows a softer side of the now married mom.</p> <p><strong>? Workout DVD:</strong> In <em>Body by Bethenny</em>, the personable Frankel makes yoga look fun while joking with her yoga partner and, of course, plugging her Skinnygirl brand on her shirt.</p> <p><strong>? Skinnygirl Extensions: </strong>The Skinnygirl "lifestyle" includes a shapewear line, diet cleanse and weight-loss supplements. Of her "lazy lingerie" Frankel says, "I don't like to wear lingerie, but my husband loves it. So I created lazy lingerie. You wear it under a blazer or sweater during the day, but when you pull it off, you have on lingerie. It solves a problem."</p> <p><strong>? Speaking Engagements: </strong>With an agent, a booker, manager and PR rep, Frankel earns cash speaking about everything from business to dating and love to food.</p> <p><strong>?<em> Skating With the Stars</em>:</strong>�Frankel cross-promoted this one, as it's currently living on in behind-the-scenes moments on<em> Bethenny Ever After</em>. She managed to squeeze in practice and a trip to Los Angeles with her hubby and 11-month old baby<strong>�</strong>in tow and finished in second place?winning over even more fans in the process.�</p> <p><strong>? Liquor Deal: </strong>This is Frankel's bread and butter, creating the Skinnygirl margarita after looking for a way to down her favorite drink without all that sugar. After developing the idea for the mix, she began shopping it around to liquor distributors, but no one would take her seriously in a male-dominated market. Finally, after six months of back-and-forth with Beam, who showed interest, she struck a deal (estimated at around $120 million) with the company to produce her formula worldwide. "I created a sub-category that never existed. I wasn't an expert, I was just another person bothered by a 700-calorie margarita," she said.</p> <p>Frankel's been so successful in her endeavors that network heads are now even rethinking the way their reality stars have been using the networks for personal gain. Some have even begun to include clauses in new talent contracts that would award the network a portion of the money made from the result of a talent's time on a show.</p> <p>Looks like Frankel's changed the game. And beaten everybody to the punch.�</p> <!-- internal videos / html on top --> <!-- external videos / html on top --> <!-- audio player --> <!-- gallery preview--> <!-- custom polls --> <!-- movie review grade wrapper (can't think of a better way to do this) --> <!-- movie review grade --> <!-- expandable video --> <p><strong/><strong>MORE: Bethenny doesn't care if you see her naked!</strong></p> </div><p><a href="http://forums.webhelpdesk.com/forums/account.php?u=44513">entertainment weekly</a> <a href="http://www.zbufu.com/uprofile.php?UID=78205">media services</a> <a href="http://www.thepoint.com/users/frankhunt12-1/profile">movies</a> <a href="http://quizilla.teennick.com/stories/22168843/silver-ingots">showcase cinemas</a> <a href="http://feed.informer.com/forums/profile.php?id=130318">movies news</a> </p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01335752622727802692' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01335752622727802692' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>ushotnews</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://ushotnews.blogspot.com/2011/09/is-bethenny-frankel-worth-more-than_27.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://ushotnews.blogspot.com/2011/09/is-bethenny-frankel-worth-more-than_27.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2011-09-27T21:24:00-07:00'>9:24 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://ushotnews.blogspot.com/2011/09/is-bethenny-frankel-worth-more-than_27.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-650428632'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=6106689856178058940&postID=6732540436835801356&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6106689856178058940&postID=6732540436835801356&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6106689856178058940&postID=6732540436835801356&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");
