“After discovering that [Skinnygirl Margarita] contains a preservative that does not meet our quality standards, we have had to stop selling it,” said the natural and organic grocery chain in a statement.

Most drink mixes contain tons of preservatives, so it’s no surprise that even the natural Bethenny had to put something in her margarita to keep it shelf stable…but her website does say it’s all natural.

A rep from Skinnygirl said, “Skinnygirl Margarita contains very low levels of sodium benzoate (a preservative) so it can stay on the shelves. We understand their [Whole Foods] position and we respect that.”

As for Frankel, she tells Access Hollywood, “I’m not making wheatgrass here. If I could put an agave plant and some limes on a shelf I would. [The Skinnygirl Margarita] is as close to nature as possible, while still being a shelf-stable product. … We were bound to piss someone off and everyone loves to try to tear down a success. This is a non-event. I haven’t lost even a wink of sleep.”

No worries skinny girls..it’s still sold at countless liquor stores that don’t give a damn about preservatives.

But following Bethenny’s career is fun. It’s fun to watch the underdog come out on top. She is great role-model for a generation of that desperately needs more female guidance. She is clearly doing it all for the money to support her family and doing it SMART.

For example…she is not above getting naked for PETA or showing a bit of white panty to promote her shit. Right on sista!

Off to buy some SkinnyGirl Sangria! Suck it Kelly Bensimon!!!!!!!!!

I love the girl as much as anyone, but I just don’t know if even I can bear a full hour of her doing a Dr. Phil. Plus I just don’t know if I like her new face or not.

The Telepictures produced pilot tapped the former Real Housewives of New York star to host an advice-based talk show that began taping earlier this month. Sources have also confirmed that fellow Telepictures talk show host and producer Ellen DeGeneres is involved with the project.

“I want to be on TV in a format where I can have a longer conversation with my fans rather than 140 characters on Twitter,” Frankel said during an interview with THR earlier this year. “It probably will be a talk show.”

The picture on the left was taken in April of this year, the picture on the right was taken this week. Have her cheek implants fallen? Botox wearing off? Or maybe a new doctor doing her injections really messed up? Her eyes look rounder and her lips look fuller.

I don’t know. but I don’t like it. She’s looking very ‘Olsen Twin’.

She might be the only reality tv star to use the guilty pleasure media to become a very successful business woman.

E! Online is reporting that Frankel is being sued by Raw Talent Inc., who used to represent ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’ star. The company is claiming that Frankel “willfully and knowingly fleeced” it out of an estimated $12 million in commissions and they also want additional punitive damages upwards of $100 million.

In the lawsuit filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court, Raw Talent claims that they helped start and grow Frankel’s career to where it is today.

Raw Talent claims that Frankel agreed to pay them 10 percent in commission when she signed with the company in the summer of 2008, and later that year, she sought their advice in developing and marketing her Skinnygirl cocktail line.

The suit alleges that Frankel fired the company just days before the launch of the cocktail line, which ended up being a huge success.

She said it herself on the season finale…”Mo money mo problems”

1.) ABC is doing yet another lame ‘with the stars’ show but this time on ice skates; and 2.) Vince Neil is going to be on it!

I totally understand why everyone else is doing it…the rest of the cast makes sense. But Vince Freakin’ Neil???? Voice of rebellion from my youth? The lead singer of Motely Freakin’ Crue skating for old ladies on Sunday nights for some cash just makes me cry.

ABC announced the cast of its new competition show Tuesday during “Dancing With the Stars.”

Reality star Bethenny Frankel, Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil, ski champ Jonny Moseley and actors Sean Young, Rebecca Budig and Brandon Mychal Smith will take to the ice when the new show premieres on Nov. 22.

The show will have a similar format to “Dancing,” with stars learning new routines each week and performing them for judges scores and viewer votes.

Bethenny revealed that “Last season was scary and ps ainful. It took all of the joy out of it,” so she doesn’t “see any reason to go back.  My gut’s saying not to be part of this cast.”

Of course, you all know that Bethenny touts a nothing-is-off-limits-but-everything-must-be-in-moderation mantra about dieting and nutrition. And she just expanded on it on The Huckabee Show. What she says makes perfect sense, but it’s not so easy to wrap your head around only taking two bites of chocolate cake instead of eating the whole thing…especially when you are in it. But I do totally agree with what she says in theory. It’s the application of it that trips me up every time.

“The truth is, you can’t be extreme, meaning there’s no binging but there’s no crash dieting … Truthfully, most people are terrified while they’re pregnant that they have to eat for two and then they binge. And then when they’re not pregnant they go on a crash diet. Extremes don’t work.”

And because I love her so much..I will refrain from making ‘Biggest head – smallest baby’ jokes here.

Now..on to what the hell happened to her while she was pregnant. She hardly gained any weight at all so I’m not surprised that just two weeks after giving birth to baby girl that she looks like this…..

But what in the world happened to her mug while she was preggo? Bethenny herself admits that her face was jacked up. Or Joker-ed up if you will.

“When I was approaching my eighth month, I was exhausted; it was brutal,” Frankel, 39, blogged. “Right after my wedding [on March 28], I swelled like a balloon.” She continued: “My face was literally deformed so much that I look like a different person.”
