Bethenny is Frankel about her sex preferences

BETHENNY FRANKEL enjoys hotel bathroom Jacuzzi orgasms and likes sex in the morning rather than at night because it's hard for her to sleep afterward. So learned viewers of Monday's premiere episode of "Bethenny," the former "Real Housewives of New York" cast member's new talk show, which airs at 11 a.m. weekdays on Fox 29.

BETHENNY FRANKEL enjoys hotel bathroom Jacuzzi orgasms and likes sex in the morning rather than at night because it's hard for her to sleep afterward.

So learned viewers of Monday's premiere episode of "Bethenny," the former "Real Housewives of New York" cast member's new talk show, which airs at 11 a.m. weekdays on Fox 29.

"It's what women talk about. If it's over the top, then I'm over the top. That's what I talk about with my girlfriends," Frankel told us yesterday at the Bala Cynwyd offices of 95.7 BEN-FM, where she appeared on Marilyn Russell's morning show after co-anchoring a portion of Fox 29's "Good Day Philadelphia" with Mike Jerrick.

Catch our video interview with Frankel online at PhillyGossip.com.

Frankel, who parlayed her "Real Housewives" popularity into two Bravo reality shows — "Bethenny Getting Married" and "Bethenny Ever After" — says she's not sure if those shows will continue since her primary focus now is on the talk show.

Strangely, Frankel claims that she never watched "Oprah" or any other female-hosted daytime talk shows. For someone who hasn't been inspired by any other hosts, however, she seems to just know what she wants. "This show is uniquely me. I wouldn't know what any other show hasdone, 'cause I haven't watched them," Frankel said.

Known for her Skinnygirl cocktails and wines and cookbooks, Frankel says she plans to incorporate cooking into her talk show but not to rely on those segments. Meanwhile, the former personal chef says Philadelphia is a great food town. On Monday, she dined at Talula's Garden on Washington Square and fondly recalled a meal at Route 6 her last time in town.

‘Hurricane' returning

NBC 10 chief meteorologist Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz says he should be back at work part time starting Monday. Schwartz has been off since April 25, when he had double-bypass surgery, telling his Twitter followers that "99% of major artery blocked. Will be out a long time but will tweet some."

Still on the mend is 94 WIP's Angelo Cataldi, who had bowel surgery Thursday for diverticulitis. We asked Cataldi's wife Gail when he may be back on the air and she said, "It's too early to say. He's got a long road ahead of him." Angelo, on behalf of all strippers, um, we mean Wingettes, we wish you a speedy recovery.

Uma's great adventure

Yes, that was Uma Thurman with her kids at Six Flags Great Adventure over the weekend. The "Kill Bill" and "Pulp Fiction" star is expecting a baby with her London-based businessman boyfriend, Arpad Busson, so she refrained from riding roller coasters (or any other scary rides), but son Levon, 10, and daughter Maya, 14 — her children with actor-ex Ethan Hawke — seemed to have a great time.

Big gig for Kevin Hart

North Philly native comedian Kevin Hart recently attended a Celtics-Sixers game at the Wells Fargo Center — a place where he'll soon return as a performer. Hart's Let Me Explain tour stops at the South Philly venue on Dec. 20. Tickets are on sale Friday through ComcastTIX.com, by phone at 1-800-298-4200 or at the Wells Fargo Center box office. Seen recently in "Think Like a Man" and "The Five-Year Engagement," Hart's credits also include "Little Fockers."
