Producers might as well change the name of the Real Housewives of New York to the 'Bethenny Show' with the way things are going. Rumor has it that returning star Bethenny Frankel is angering her fellow co-stars with her diva demands while she is allegedly using the show to promote her new book, "I Suck at Relationships So You Don't Have To: 10 Rules for Not Screwing Up Your Happily Ever After."

According to the New York Daily News on Friday, the other housewives, which include Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, LuAnn de Lesseps, and more, are livid that Frankel is getting all of the attention while they are supposed to promote the show as a team.

One source told the site, "We all thought it was season seven of the show, but apparently it is 'Bethenny's return' season. Everyone has been asking for the promotion schedule for the show, where the ladies go to talk about the new season, what talk shows, radio and print interviews have been scheduled. But so far they've gotten silence."

If that weren't enough, the insider added that "The shows Bethenny refuses to do will be handed out to the rest of the ladies, like leftovers."

Frankel's diva demands are also causing some trouble between the Housewives, as she supposedly refuses to do any promotional work with "the new girls" while making the media rounds for the new season.

The source added, "Bethenny is practically running the press campaign. If they want her to promote the show, then they have to play by her rules. She doesn't want to appear with the new ladies she has just met, but has agreed to do press with LuAnn and Ramona."

The new season returns to Bravo in April.
