Bethenny Ever After” star and Skinnygirl creator Bethenny Frankel will begin taping a new talk show pilot next week according to sources at the Hollywood Reporter.

Telepictures, the production company responsible for the “Ellen DeGeneres Show” and Anderson Cooper’s upcoming talk show, will produce the show. In fact, Ellen herself is working with the reality star behind-the-scenes on the pilot. Frankel has been a frequent guest on Ellen’s talk show this past season.

Frankel hopes her show will be an advice-based talk show. The author of “A Place of Yes” has shared her rough childhood and how she overcame many obstacles and challenges to be where she is today. Many fans love her bluntness and comfort of sharing anything and everything on camera. Her successful Bravo reality show was picked up for a third season and will begin filming in the fall.

Last week, Frankel emailed her fans, who subscribe to her newsletter, telling them she will be in Los Angeles this coming week. Fans were able to email Frankel for a chance to, “be a part of this very special, very exclusive Bethenny experience.” Could it be the filming of her TV pilot? Nobody is certain just yet.
