New Lauren Conrad Reality Show Confirmed

From Laguna Beach to The Hills to ... the boardroom?
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lauren Conrad is set to return to MTV in a new reality show chronicling the budding fashion designer's quest to create a new line of evening wear and builds a fashion house from the ground up.
Certainly a departure from clubbing at Les Deux ...
"I'm so excited to take on this new project that really focuses on my true passion," Conrad confirms. "I'm happy to be partnering with MTV because I have such an amazing relationship with them and love being a part of the network."

Berman Braun will be producing LC's new reality series.
"We are so excited to be working with Lauren again," Tony DiSanto, president of programing at MTV, said yesterday. "She is family, we are very proud of her."
"When we shot the test tape for Laguna Beach she was 17, now she's a mogul."
With the third installment of her L.A. Candy novel series due out next month, the N.Y. Times best-selling author has already established herself in the fashion and literary worlds since ditching The Hills. Are you excited to see her back on TV?

Kim Kardashian Too Famous For Own Reality Show


If Kim Kardashian is known for one thing involving cameras, it's moanin' and groanin' as Ray J worked his magic up in dat thang. But if she's known for a second thing, it's totally E!’s hit reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

A show that may no longer be able to afford her.

Now a household name for whatever reason, Kim's professional celebrity status has thrown a wrench into negotiations for the fifth season of Keeping Up.

Her star power has been a boost for the show, but as Kim Kardashian becomes increasingly popular, she may have options more lucrative than E! can match.

"Kim's advisors feel it may be time to explore bigger deals on bigger networks,” a TV insider with alleged knowledge of the ongoing negotiations says.
“She's right to feel like she doesn't need to open up her life to make a living. It looks like Kim can make a lot more money than the TV show can pay her, especially through her endorsement deals and doing appearances on bigger shows.”

Huh? Really, insider? The only reason she makes a living is by opening up her life ... and legs, for Ray J. But that's neither here nor there at this point.

At this juncture, E!'s options could be limited. The source says that they can dig deep and make Kim an offer she and her representatives can't refuse.

On the flip side, the network re-fashion Keeping Up With The Kardashians to focus on the remaining cast members. Talk about a ticking time bomb!

"Neither path makes much business sense, especially when the Miami spinoff is doing just fine," says the Kim source. "The most likely scenario is shutting down the show altogether and focusing resources on the Miami-Khloe and Kourtney franchise."

Twilight Saga Town Reality Show: On the Way


Note to fans of the Twilight Saga: Robert Pattinson doesn't actually live in Forks, Washington. Neither does Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner or any member of the cast.

Still, the geniuses behind reality TV have decided to set a new show in the town simply because events from the Twilight saga unfold there.

Said producer Zig Gauthier about casting for the untitled project:

“We’re not going up there looking to cast people who have claims to the supernatural. We want people who have a true connection to the community. We want to avoid people with outlandish claims.”

Okay. So then what's the goal of this seemingly inane idea?

"To peel back another layer of the onion that is Forks and see what the real people there are like," Gauthier said.
Therefore, to sum up: Plans are underway for a reality show about random people that live in a town only known nationally because a fictional book series is based there.

Will you watch this nonsense?
