Bethenny shares her personal opinion on some of Hollywood A-listers that are making headlines now. Are they making the news for the right reasons and do those reasons command her praise, or scrutiny?

Plus, Bethenny is going Down Under!

I am so astounded at how good of a job Sophia Vergara did at Griselda. It's unbelievable and so good for her that she went from a comedy to this being such a meaty role. And it's crazy that since being on a movie set for two weeks has given me a different perspective that I'm watching how hard it is to do this. Like, Sophia Vergara is such a rock star, and I love that at this age she's made a left turn. She had such a good run on such a beloved show. But like she does talk shows and you know, she gives everybody what they want, which is like the ditsy Colombian girl. And like now she's playing a coppo, the head of the car toll, and it's so good, it's so incredible. It's shocking. How the Griselda when Sophia Bergara has all like the makeup on and you know, different features and she looks identical to the way and it's crazy. I saw that somewhere and it's crazy. But Sophia Bergara is so extraordinary. I met her, I spent a weekend with her once at someone's house, and she was really nice. I like her. She's down to earth. I just I'm proud of her, if that makes any sense. And she's at a point where she's just gone through a divorce and I think she was saying she's wanting to date or you know what a great media, amazing role. And the producers of Griselda are these two guys. This guy Eric Newman that I used to work with at Broadway Pictures, which is Lurne Michael's company. So I used to work there for Lorne Michaels. And this guy, Eric Newman was like his assistant and right hand guy, and he produced Narcos, so I happen to see his name on here. So he produced this and Narcos, which means he has a niche. And it's funny because I'm seeing different influences in this movie. Like I'm seeing one scene where a woman is screaming like she's a dealer's wife, and it sounds just like a scene of Scarface in the motel when this woman's like Nana Nana na naa, Like it's like this crazy sound and it sounds exactly like Scarface. It's just like and their godfather references. These show slash movie makers get to kind of live out their fantasies of producing movies and include the movies of their youth, like Scarface, like The Godfather. And I'm seeing, like I said, part of Queen of the South. But I'm enjoying Griselda. And I'm really impressed by Sophia Vergara, so shout out to her for totally pivoting in her career at the same time that she's pivoting in her life coming off of a comedy series and entering into such a dramatic role. I love it. I love her. I'm so proud of her amazing. I love Howard Stern's evolution. His interviews are just beautiful. They're just beautiful. They're just so poised, so calm, so much good information. I could watch them all day long, Like I love hearing everything he's asking to everyone. I just just the way that he makes it look easy is what is so fascinating about it, because it's definitely not easy to control and drive a conversation but also have a conversation and be relaxed about it. And I just think he's doing it so brilliantly, and to do it so far into your career and so much later in life and still be extraordinary at it in an entirely different way. Like it's not even close to the show that it used to be. It has nothing to do with the show. It's like a not even a cousin of the show. But it just shows that there's really no medium of interview he probably couldn't do. And it's not even really funny, you know, like you laugh sometimes, but not really like he doesn't feel the need to get attention or it be funny. It's he's just an incredible interviewer. It's amazing and I hang on the words. It's just so inspiring. I have to say. It's not as hard as a talk show host in the sense that they're like a clown, Like they have to do like when we come back and up next, and you know, they have to do integrations and it's just clunkier. They have to worry about their wardrobe, and they have to like probably do a monologue, and then they have to do a game show, and then they have to talk about cooking recipes and florals for spring and like talk to the audience and get the microphone and do that and like talk to you know, station owners and at the end of the show, do your reads of commercials and say hi to each station and Jane and Bobby thanks for you know, being our station in Des Moines. Like it's endless. That medium is another medium where it looks easy and it's so hard. But what Howard's doing, I mean, it's definitely not hard for him now. I mean he's been doing it for ten thousand years. He and Robin what an amazing, beautiful partnership. But like I live for his show. I just listen and I just can't stop listening, and I just love every single story and every person like Rob Low is on and I'm freaking out, and Sarah Jessica Parker's on and I'm freaking out, and just everybody that's on comedians. It's just really cool. It's amazing love. If we can talk about people who we don't know and their relationships, I would like to say that I think Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker. I think his name is her basketball player boyfriend that she broke up with and is theoretically dating again or seeing again. He looks so cute and nice and quiet. I've never heard a word come out of his mouth, which is nice, only in the sense that it just seems like she's the least talkative and public of her family. She seems understated, maybe shy, maybe calculated, but not in a negative way. She just seems like she's doing it right as that. And he seems like an understated athlete. He doesn't seem flashy, he doesn't seem like he's braggy. He looks like a nice guy. Now, obviously I have no idea, but I think that sometimes someone's persona you can see. He's certainly not the peacock. She would be the peacock if one of them had to be, based on what we're seeing in just clips. But they were together. I didn't even know they broke up. I didn't really know they were together except for just headlines. But they look cute, and I think they're back together. And I just think they're a cute, young, beautiful couple, a cute, young, fashionable, beautiful couple. And I was watching The Bachelor on City TV in Van Couver, the suburbs of Vancouver, and I saw the New Bachelor. I didn't know it was the New Bachelor because I wasn't aware of I was watching something old or new that the fans told me he's the new bachelor, so cute and so nice. He seems so sweet and so genuine. What's crazy is that, like, you know how like you watch a soap opera and the second you tune in in another country or somewhere just watching like a soap opera, and you just are locked in. You know everything, you believe everything you're in. I saw him talking to one girl, a girl who apparently had been sick, or she'd been she almost died or I want to cry like this poor girl. I'm thinking about her parents. I was watching for five seconds, like she's talking at her parents and they don't want to see her get hurt. If she brings him home to hometowns, they'll be invested and they'll be wondering if he's going to take care of her. I'm gonna cry, like he's gonna take care of her if she gets sick again. I don't know what she had. It made me cry, like I literally feel so bad for these parents. I met her for two seconds on TV. I don't think it was five minutes, honestly, but it was a couple of minutes however long. Half of the conversation and deciding if he's going to give her the rose was and he seems sweet, and he seemed cute, and he seemed like he would be there to take care of her, and like, it makes me realize, you really believe everything. I believe all of it. I think he's gonna be an amazing husband. He seems so sweet. It just seems so nice. Please don't disappoint me. Whoever you are, bachelor, please do not disappoint me. You seem so nice and so cute, and like you guys seem so loving. I don't know the other girls. I saw the quickest clip ever. I feel badly for whatever her parents went through, and it's true now she's on the show, and I do not want her to get hurt because a lot of people come on here and they've been through hell and then they get hurt here. So I don't want that for her. I don't even know, but the guy seems sweet and cute. You guys will tell me, but please don't hurt her. I am coming to Australia with Brinn. I love Australia. We are going to be in Melbyn. Only took me a half a day to realize I was saying right, Melbyn. I thought it was Melbourne. I was corrected, then uncorrected, then criticized. I heard born identity Melbyn, Melbourne. It's Melbyn. But you know when like you say a word and you can't say it after you've said it so many times, it's Melboyn. I'm going to Melboyn first. I'm coming to Melboyn at the Palay Theater and then I will be in Sydney at the Darling Harbor Theater March fifteenth, in Melboyne at the Palai Theater March twenty second at the Darling Harbor Theater. I am so excited. I want to hear from you guys what I should do. I also want you guys to come, so you gotta buy tickets and yeah, send questions, send ideas, let's get into it. In Australia one of the best places ever. Like I live for Australia. It's my vibe. The people are chill and cool, the food is amazing, and oddly Australia and Canada have some similarities and I can't figure out what they are. But like there's a vibe that's like a little more relaxed but still cosmopolitan. So please come and also give me ideas we want. Britain has to see a koala. I've never taken her away with me from work before and I'm so excited. That's why I do this, so I can share this with her. Like, how lucky am I that I get to go do appearances and take Britain to Australia and experience it together. So tell me what we should do
