It’s plan B for Bethenny TV

Maybe Bethenny Frankel should have booked more sessions with her “nice coach.”

A talk show starring the “Skinny Girl” mogul and former “Real Housewives of New York” star failed to sell in syndication and has been dropped by Telepictures, Page Six has learned from sources close to the project.

But, they say, there’s a silver lining for the stick-thin booze baron, as some TV types have subsequently swooped in to offer her opportunities now that the syndication deal’s dead.

One insider says she’s received offers from both cable stations and networks. And she still has close ties with Bravo honcho Andy Cohen.

The margarita mogul shot a pilot for her “advice-based” program after numerous appearances “incubating” the concept on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” by appearing in segments that offered audiences advice on bargain shopping, relationships and healthy snacking.

But the pilot didn’t generate enough interest from local stations, and it was overshadowed when a slew of syndication projects from Katie Couric, Ricki Lake, Steve Harvey, “Survivor” host Jeff Probst and Anderson Cooper were all snapped up.

Page Six reported last month that Frankel’s proposed show was flopping with station owners who found her to be “too aggressive” and fast-talking in meetings with them. Producers subsequently brought on a “nice coach” to help make Frankel less abrasive, we were told.

The reality star denied the report, calling it on Twitter one of the “idiocies” reported about her.

While her show failed to gain traction, Frankel found herself in a series of p.r. troubles — from allegedly fudging the ingredients in her cocktail concoctions to an accusation by a ship captain that she lied about being lost at sea.

A source close to Telepictures said, “Several stations expressed interest, but there’s probably not room for [Bethenny’s show] this year.” A rep for Warner Bros. Television, which owns Telepictures, declined to comment. Frankel’s rep declined to comment.
