It looks as though Bethenny Frankel isn't giving up on her daytime talk show dreams. Despite her own show, Bethenny, getting canceled after just one season on the air, there's a new rumor that suggests the former Real Housewives of New York star might be taking Barbara Walters' place on The View.

Is Bethenny Frankel's Legal Battle With Jason Hoppy Causing Her Millions?

According to reports the ABC Network is looking to replace Walters with someone who will be able to mix well with the rest of the cast while still give the show a much-needed ratings boot. A source tells Naughty But Nice Rob, "The View is looking for someone to spice up the show. Someone with lots of opinions and a big personality and Bethenny is at the top of the list."

Unfortunately for Frankel's fans though, it doesn't look like that's about to happen, yet. A rep for The View tells RumorFix about the rumors, "This is incorrect on a couple of counts. There is no truth to this. Also, you cannot replace an icon like Barbara Walters and that's not what we are looking to do. However, we will at some point in the near future add a new voice to the panel."

Meanwhile, there's new speculation that the single mom might be drinking her troubles away, as she was recently spotted drinking her troubles away at a trendy New York City hotspot along with new boyfriend, Michael Cerussi.

"They were all over each other," a source tells the New York Post. "Michael was grabbing her and groping her. He was so rude and entitled."

It looks as though Cerussi wasn't the only rude patron at the bar as even Frankel showed her "ugly side" to her fans, too.

"Some girl tried to say hi to Bethenny, and she put her hand in her face and was like, 'Ew,'" says the source.

Frankel, meanwhile, has denied reports that she was publicly intoxicated, calling the rumors false.
