"Is Bethenny Frankel headed to the big screen?Two sources confirm to Us Weekly that the Bravo reality star, 41, auditioned for a role in director Michael Bay&amp;apos;s new movie Pain and Gain. The film stars Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne &amp;quot;The Rock&amp;quot; Johnson, Ed Harris and Anthony Mackie.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Bethenny secretly read for a role in Miami, Florida, and she did a good job,&amp;quot; a source says of her February 27 audition. &amp;quot;Although she has no formal training, she has obviously gained a lot of experience working with cameras and she was totally comfortable with what she had to read.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe second insider says Frankel was actually scouted by a casting agent while sightseeing with daughter Bryn, nearly 2, at Jungle Island zoological park.\r\n&amp;quot;He didn&amp;apos;t know who she was but wanted her to read. When she went in, the casting directors were freaking out because it ended up being Bethenny Frankel,&amp;quot; the insider tells Us. &amp;quot;The casting guy realized it when Bethenny came to the office.&amp;quot;\r\nBay, 47, was not present for Frankel&amp;apos;s audition.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;They sent her an email after and said how great she was,&amp;quot; the insider adds. &amp;quot;She doesn&amp;apos;t know when she&amp;apos;ll find out if she gets the part, but the audition was fabulous.&amp;quot;\r\nShould Frankel win the role, it wouldn&amp;apos;t be her first acting gig: she appeared on Hollywood Hills 90028 in 1994, Wish Me Luck in 1995 and Z Rock in 2009.\r\nWhen contacted by Us about her potential role in Pain and Gain, Frankel&amp;apos;s rep had no comment."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
