Bethenny Frankel finds new 'Neighbors'

Former "Real Housewives of New York City" socialite Bethenny Frankel may be going through a divorce in her romantic life, but her career is teeming with new and fruitful unions. Not only does her eponymous, syndicated talk show hit a daytime cable guide near you this fall, but now she's making her first-ever appearance on a scripted sitcom.

Entertainment Weekly reports that the soon-to-be single mom and lifestyle guru is dropping by "The Neighbors" for an episode shooting this week and airing in April. According to the story, B-Frank will pop up in “Mo Purses Mo Money Mo Problems" as a businesswoman who helps Jami Gertz's Debbie Weaver get into the handbag business. (Hey, look what it did for Monica Lewinsky.)

This is quite a bold step for the ex-reality star, indicating that maybe NeNe Leakes isn't the only one-time TV housewife ready for a transition into legitimate success. All we know is, we love us some "Neighbors" (as you can read about in more detail here), so Bethenny better not mess this up.
