It may come as a shock to some people, but a lot of what you see on reality shows is — gasp! — fake. So, it’s probably not a surprise that people are saying that the latest news from one of the stars of Bravo’s ‘Bethenny Ever After’ and ‘Real Housewives’ franchise might not be true, either.

Bethenny Frankel has been making the media rounds, telling the story of how she and her husband were lost at sea off of Nantucket for 21 hours. The only problem with the story is that the man who, ahem, “rescued” her, Tim Russell, tells the Jewish Journal that she didn’t need to be rescued at all, because the boat she was on was functioning fine.

On Sunday night, ‘The Glee Project’ chose the winner of its grand prize: a seven-episode storyline on the musical juggernaut ‘Glee.’

The competition, which aired on Oxygen, started with 12 performers, winnowed down from the 40,000 who submitted audition tapes, and every week one was eliminated until it was down to four — smoldering and dreadlocked Samuel, utterly-adorable Irishman Damian, catty belter Lindsay, and the sometimes cross-dressing diva Alex.
