"Bad news for Bethenny Frankel.\r\nA proposed nationally syndicated talk show to be hosted by the Skinnygirl entrepreneur, author and reality star will not go forward for fall 2012, a source tells the Hollywood Reporter.\r\nDespite new talk show gigs for Katie Couric, Steve Harvey and Jeff Probst, the former Real Housewife of New York couldn&amp;apos;t land a commitment from a major U.S. station for her proposed talk show, according to the site.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nThe 41-year-old reality star even garnered support from daytime queen Ellen DeGeneres, who featured Frankel in advice-giving segments of her own nationally syndicated program.\r\nLast month, Frankel came under fire and was accused of lying about the value of her Skinnygirl brand (The Huffington Post questioned Forbes&amp;#xA0;magazine&amp;apos;s story that Frankel&amp;apos;s brand was worth $100 million, claiming it was acquired for just $8.1 million.) and of staging a &amp;quot;lost at sea&amp;quot; ordeal for her reality show.\r\n\r\nBoth accusations turned out to be patently false. Bravo issued a statement about the sailing incident. &amp;quot;It is accurate that Bethenny, Jason [Hoppy] and their therapist were stranded at sea when the navigation on their boat broke during a taping for [the show],&amp;quot; the network told Us Weekly.&amp;#xA0;\r\nForbes magazine shot down the HuffPo&amp;apos;s $8.1 million claim in a post called, &amp;quot;Bethenny Frankel&amp;apos;s Skinnygirl Deal: The Numbers Still Hold Up&amp;quot;.  Said one financial expert: &amp;quot;Suffice to say, this was not an $8.1 million acquisition.&amp;quot;\r\nFrankel completed production of her Bravo hit Bethenny Ever After and will continue on Bravo, according to the Hollywood Reporter.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;My entire brand is based on that [honesty],&amp;quot; Frankel explained. &amp;quot;I felt like I had a responsibility to my fans to say something.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\nTell Us: Are you sad Bethenny&amp;apos;s talk show won&amp;apos;t be premiering next fall?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
