Bethenny Frankel: Engagement, Reality Show in Question

at .

A few weeks ago, life was perfect for Bethenny Frankel.

She was engaged to Jason Hoppy. She was branching off into her own reality show. It was all a talentless, spoiled, rich, supposedly real housewife could ask for.

But sources now say both of the aforementioned developments are in question. For starters, she not actually engaged!

"The engagement is fake," a source said to Fox News, implying that Bethenny's rep invented the story to create buzz for his client's new reality series.

But that may also never happen.

Frankel had planned on titling her spin-off The Skinny and the City. But Tanya Zuckerbrot is a dietitian and author that runs the weight loss website www.skinnyandthecity.com. She isn't pleased with the trademark infringement.

"While I am obviously surprised by this news, I have always felt imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. That being said, we are taking the protection of our brand and trademark extremely seriously," Zuckerbrot said.

So, to recap: Bethenny Frankel's breasts aren't the only thing fake about her.
