Oh, the rumors are swirling, my dears! Our very own Bette Midler, a legend in her own right, may soon grace our TV screens as part of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Can you imagine the chaos and glamour she would bring to the table? Let’s take a tongue-in-cheek look at the potential pros and cons of having this extraordinarily unique star join the unruly bunch of housewives.
Pros:
- Increased Star Power: Oh, honey, Bette Midler’s mere presence would catapult the show to new heights of viewership, drawing on a broader audience and causing a frenzy of excitement.
- Entertainment Value: With her razor-sharp wit and larger-than-life personality, Bette could turn the show into a laugh riot, serving up drama with a side of sass that would have us all glued to our screens.
- Charitable Influence: Imagine the impact our dear Bette could have, using her newfound reality TV platform to champion important causes and make the world a better place. Who knew housewives could be so philanthropic?
- Fashion Icon: Bette Midler, the queen of style, would undoubtedly bring a refreshing burst of fashion-forward looks to the show, leaving us all gasping for breath with her exquisite ensembles.
Cons:
- Clashes of Personality: Brace yourselves for the drama, folks! Bette’s no-nonsense attitude could lead to some epic clashes with the other housewives, turning the show into a battlefield of egos and diva showdowns.
- Privacy Concerns: Stepping into the reality TV spotlight comes with its own set of challenges. Bette might find herself under a microscope, with every move scrutinized and her privacy invaded in ways she never imagined. And we all know how Bette loves a good bit of seclusion.
- Time Commitment: Balancing the demands of a reality show with her other projects could prove tricky for our multi-talented star. Will she have time to belt out a tune between catfights and cocktail parties? What about albums? What about concerts? What about movies? What about Harry?
- Risk of Overshadowing: Let’s face it, dahlings, Bette Midler is a force to be reckoned with. Her star power could outshine the other housewives, stealing the spotlight and leaving them in her glittering shadow.
In the end, whether Bette Midler joins the “Real Housewives” crew or not, one thing is certain: she would bring a whirlwind of excitement, drama, and fabulousness to the show. So, grab your popcorn and get ready for the show of a lifetime, because when Bette’s in the house, you know it’s going to be one wild ride!
However, I, for one, can’t see it. I think the filming would be more nightmarish than her TV series schedule ever was. Could she take the unwarranted stress? And let’s face it, this franchise is nightmarish, all played out and way beneath her to waste her talents on. However, she would probably be sitting atop a goldmine meant for a Queen.
