Lea Michele Hearts Bethenny Frankel Skinnygirl Sangria

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Glee star Lea Michele is a certified stan for Bethenny Frankel’s Skinnygirl Sangria. The reality TV star turned stellar business woman was on hand to launch her latest concoction from the popular line at Gramercy Park Hotel in New York city.

Beth tells Celebuzz,

“Lea Michele is a big fan of Skinnygirl Margarita, so I sent her the Sangria before the launch, and she loves it! But what’s not to like? Guilt free sangria and margarita.”

After leaving the “Real Housewives of New York City”, getting married, having a child and now her own reality TV show “Bethenny Ever After,” Bethenny is focusing solely on building an empire. Skinnygirl reportedly sold for over $100 million and   Bethenny isn’t stopping at margaritas.

There is Skinnygirl Face & Body Solutions and Skinnygirl Mommy. Bethenny says of the skincare line,

‘A $150 eye cream is ridiculous and absurd. Skin care can be confusing and I want to be straightforward.’

‘I don’t make false promises. I don’t want people to think in three days they’ll have no cellulite. That’s not going to happen.

There’s also Smoothers n’ Shapers shapewear line, as well as nutritional products that include a daily cleanse called Skinnygirl Daily Cleanse & Restore.

She said of her multiple ventures: ‘I have no idea how people could just stamp their name on something. I’m obsessed. I use everything, I named every single product. I created the packaging and the logo.’

So while Jill, Luann and others bicker on the Real Housewives of New York City, Bethenny is building her empire one product at a time.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
