Rich Kids of Beverly Hills [WORKING TITLE] -- New E! Reality Show -- Casting Rumor

Just dusted off an unfinished post from August, still newsworthy so here goes...

So Deadline Hollywood reported in August that the E! Network, together with iTV America, is developing a new reality show (informally?) based on the popular blog "Rich Kids of Instagram" which features opulent images from the Instagram accounts of wealthy, jetsetting teen and twenty somethings. 

Before you eyeroll me into "that's yesterday's news" oblivion, I have a (maybe) update! So far, no reports include anything about who is cast in the new reality show.  But if you PAYATTENTIONTO (see what I did there?) the chatter and you got your ear to the street, things come together.

I think I may have cracked the code on two of the cast members: Dorothy Wang, daughter of a Chinese business magnate and Morgan Stewart, daughter of a successful architect.

So, where did the info come from? A quick stroll to Dorothy's Twitter account reveals the goods:

At the beginning of this post is a telling photo from Dorothy's Instagram of Dorothy and Morgan in front of a green screen in typical reality show "confessional" fashion. 

Here's another from her account featuring cameramen and Dorothy and Morgan in the background captioned: "Excuse me- SORRY #personality coming through" ...

Will it be any good? Who knows. We'll have to see when it comes out (whenever that will be)...

Have You Watched CANDIDLY NICOLE? Werq It Ms. Richie.

And you're all like... heh? 

Candidly Nicole is actually this little web series on AOL which sounds like a joke because it's not 1997 and CD-ROMS are now ironic coasters that used to have purpose and meaning in this crazy mixed up world like NY Seltzer, Mark Harmon, Teddy Ruxpins and Bonkers. 

But back to Nicole Richie who is just love and silliness and a conundrum of proportions (I mean really, how could you be 5'1" and that long and lanky at the same time?) all mixed up into one. In the series, Nicole kind of just seemingly goes where the wind blows her. In one episode she's hanging with RuPaul to get tips on fierceness, in another she's with her dad and little sister (who, P.S., is seriously looking like a future trendsetter in her own right) goofing off in the garden. 

Here she is in the first episode pondering the removal of her "tramp stamp:"

The real centerpiece here has nothing to do with the setting or the topic, it's Nicole's larger than life personality. We already knew, from that reality show with Paris back in the day, that Nicole is humorous and has no filter, but girlfriend has blossomed in the years she's been away from the reality circuit. She is a legit comedienne who can mix well with any subject and bring light and laughter into any room. Each episode is only five minutes-ish, but hopefully this will lead to bigger and better for her because I could seriously watch Nicole all day long. 

P.S. I am SO sick of hashtags outside of Twitter and Instagram. AND WHILE WE'RE ON THAT: NEVER, EVER, EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES UTTER THE WORDS "HASHTAG CRAY" IN A SENTENCE. PLEASE  BABIES, JUST PROMISE ME THAT. DANNY GLOVER WILL EXPLAIN WHY:

Steve Martin Makes Light Of Alec Baldwin Incident With Humorous Tweet

Okay - so do I really need to recap what's been going on with Alec Baldwin lately?  There was an incident with a photographer, yadda yadda, you've heard this before right?

Anyhoo...... the always hilarious Steve Martin (@SteveMartinToGo) had this to say just now on the Twitter:

LOLOLOLOLOLO good one Steve.

I Have A Problem

Guys, Twitter is telling me "Who To Follow" and Brandi Glanville is on the short list.

Few Pics From Inside Kim Kardashian's Wedding

Unless you've been living under 10 rocks, (because if you were living under one, you'd still have heard) you know that Kim Kardashian got married to some dude yesterday.

All was super paparazzi proof complete with tents and all -  so that all the shots and footage were protected for the magazine exclusives and E! special.  TMZ was all proud to get a fuzzy shot of Kim and Bruce Jenner walking through a tent which showed not much but IT WAS SOMETHING.

We haven't yet seen the decor etc.. inside UNTIL NOW.  Jillian Barberie Reynolds (local Los Angeles morning news personality and wedding guest) tweeted some shots of the inside in real time.  Check out the shots:

Jillian (@AskJillian) tweets "Oops. Snuck one in"

 

Ok, it may not seem like much, but let's walk through this carefully.  Next to Jillian's hand is what looks like some sort of program - meh.  But notice the table runner - doesn't it remind you of the decor in Mama Kris' house? Silverware and crystals are nice - not gaudy - understated and classy rather.  Loving the flowers and chandeliers.  Anyone notice anything else worth mentioning?

In a second image, Jillian tweeted "Oh snap!!!!! Another one!!!!"

This one is way more fuzzy - but shows more classic decor and beautiful flowers.  Shame we can't make out the identity of any of the guests in the shot. It's said that Kim asked her guests to only wear black or white.  Looks like most of the guests (at least in this pic) chose to wear black.  I think I would too - don't think I'd feel right wearing white to a wedding.  Even if the bride OK'd it.

Twitter Misspelling of the Day - Frankie Delgado Edition

The T is silent maybe???

Oh, so of course I've been on his Twitter for the past half hour gleaning wisdom.  Some notables:

[Get it?? Cuz like tangible means you can feel something. And a bar has  something to do with rap... or a type of donut]


Who is the greater fool- the fool who tweets, or the fool who takes time to comment on the other fools tweet? Smh... 12:24 PM Mar 15th 
[Mind. Blown.]

Shh Don't Tell Steve (@shhdontellsteve) Author Tweets About Rise and Fall of TV Series Deal

The author of the @shhdontellsteve (SDTS) Twitter account - which chronicles the life of the writer's unknowing (and hilarious) buffoon of a roommate, Steve - came forward today about his Hollywood experience.  


A little background: similar to the story of the (now flailing) CBS show "Sh*t My Dad Says,"  SDTS is a Twitter account that amassed a cult-like following - to the point that Hollywood took notice. Late last year, CBS came calling once again to pursue a sitcom  based on the SDTS story.  


Since that time the SDTS Twitter account has gone radio silent-   presumably to work out a deal, script, pilot etc...  That silence was broken today when the author (name unknown) Tweeted a series of entries explaning what happened (spoiler alert: not a happy Hollywood ending).  


The Tweets follow (in chronological order): 


Here is how I went to LA, Steve almost became a “gigantic” national icon, I ate a Pinks Chili Dog and never met Ashton Kutcher in 14 tweets 


Get a call from an Agent that wants to turn my Steve feed into a sitcom. I’m told we can “deal with all the legal Steve related stuff” later 


Flown to LA where the Agent tells me that my feed is “genius” because they have nightmare roommates in China. Show can “go global” 


Meet 2 Writer Dudes who take me to Pinks. They’re cool. They buy me two chili dogs and a grape soda. Talk about Steve being a national icon 


Show idea sells to CBS. Everybody wants to see a picture of Steve. My “character” is a fussy anthropologist who lives with his buddy Steve


Agent takes me to Clippers game. He spends whole game sexting a “D-girl” and one of the actresses from “Army Wives” Blake Griffin amazing 


Debate if I should let Steve in on it. Agent tells me not to worry. Says we can always change his name to “Roy” Says show will be “gigantic”


Writer Dudes take me to a cocktail party where I meet Victoria Justice and "Ned Ryerson" from Groundhog Day (a high point for me) 


My Dad asks if my life is like “Entourage”. I say no. He’s disappointed. Asks if I've been offered cocaine. Said no. He didn't believe me 


Writers do good job w/ script. Make me fussier then I am. Shelly says it’s dead on but objects to her character having secret crush on mine 


Get taken to a Hollywood club by the Fat Sex guy in AmPie Beta House (what up @nic4nac !) Fail to make out with my blogger crush @molls 


Wonder if I’m ever going to meet Ashton Kutcher. I’m told he thinks my feed is funny but he seems to be in Europe a lot 


CBS doesn’t pick up show. Everybody is very cool about it. Turning Steve into Gigantic Global Icon is firmly back in #stevenation’s court 


Oh, and Steve still doesn't know. Thinks I was in LA writing a research article for what he calls "a nerd science magazine nobody reads" 


Final note on LA Saga: In last phone call with Agent, he made me promise that he gets "first crack" at Party Spy if Steve ever finishes it 


We're sad there's no Hollywood happy ending (yet), but there's one thing we do know - we're still 100% #SteveNation.

P.S. we think this would make for a great movie - so you never know....
P.P.S who's the creepy sexting agent????

Derek J Has The Sads

We don't like it when our favorite diva is down.  Derek J (of Real Housewives of Atlanta and Good Hair and World Renowned Hair Artiste and Thick Stems And 'Lettos fame ) has a case of the sads today and we're calling out whoever is messin' with our precious scoop of pudding.

Hrmph. Kim, he better not be talkin' bout you.

Here's our lady of ferocity in happier times. Nobody can work an opaque tight like Mr. J.

Seth Rogen disses Adrienne Maloof?

So Seth Rogen was on The Ellen Degeneres Show today regaling Ellen with his awe inspiring stories (insert sarcasm here) when he got to an interesting tidbit that caught our attention.  Seth was telling Ellen that he watches a lot of reality TV including all the Housewives shows, and that he met one of them at the recent Green Hornet premiere.  When Ellen asked "which one?" Seth said "the one with all the plastic surgery on her face."  Everyone had a good chuckle and that was that.

BUT - synapses started firing here at PATsy Central and we remembered something.  A photo Adrienne Maloof twatted out last week:

@AdrienneMaloof: With Seth Rogan at the Green Hornet party. No the flash isn't broken, it really is that green in here! 

Mmmm hmmmm, we see what you did there Seth.  We take it you won't be staying at the Palms Casino anytime soon?

For the record, we think Adrienne is fierce and gorgeous.

Jersey Fashion Time Warp - Snooki Loves Her BeBe Hat

Okay, I have a question -  is New Jersey a safe harbor for late 90s/early 2000s trends? Here's Snooki rocking her favorite RHINESTONE BEBE HAT.

This is not an illusion, she rocks that thing like it's - well I was gonna say 'going out of style' but um... yeah, that would have been true like in 2002.  Gotta admire her gumption.

But seriously - all this BeBe, Ed hardy, acrylic nails business is real confusing.  What in the time warp is going on over there? 

Can somebody please explain this phenomenon to me?

P.S. any other Jersey time warp info/photos, send us an email at payattentiontoblog@gmail.com

Don't Be Jealous. I had a "Moment" with Kim Zolciak and Derek J. - FABULOUS!!

Kim Zolciak's lazy fabulousness and Derek J's (of RHOA and Good Hair fame - if you haven't seen Derek's swag in Good Hair, go rent it immediately) unapologetic fiercenes are two bulls in the china shop of Real Housewives.  And that's why they're my favorites. 

Do I usually laugh at minions begging for celebrity ReTweets like London-town street urchins? Yes, yes I do. 

Did I have a moment(s - pluralizing because I do it all the time, I just like to judge others with my holier than thou self) of gushing pandering in hopes of acknowledgement? Why yes, yes I did:

 

Um... yeah, so then this happened!!!!!:

Holy Sh1t, holy sh1t, the tweet did mean a thing.......

And if my heart didn't stop long enough. Then THIS HAPPENED!!!

HEART ATTACK.

Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent Are Going Around The Schoolyard .... For Realzies You Guys

50 and Chels - in near unison - kinda announced their coupledom today... as if we had our doubts

Taken from the playbook of a "really mature" 6th grader,  the proclamations were jokingly made today via their respective (where else?)  Twitters.  

Week In Review

Hot links coming through.

Ok, so what happened this week.  Wellllll.......

• We (royal "we" but I like to pretend I have a media empire and I command a massive newsroom of hacks) published a lazy little recap of the Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA). Almost as lazy as Kim Zolciak "performing" Google Me as she leaned up against a bar stool on Watch What Happens Live (see talented artist - AKA me - rendition above).
• We tried to start a new "daily" post called Some Things You Should Know which we did for approximately one day and then when NOBODY read it we threw a stapler (ok, it was really a bag of Funyuns) across the room and vowed to chill out and take some Valerian Root because nobody understands me, I mean us.  May try again soon. Pageviews are votes people.
• We learned that most people are clueless when it comes to the social graces of Facebook.
• And speaking of Facebook, we had a revelation that cartoon characters as profile pictures doesn't make an ounce of difference to/for abused kids.
• We discovered that the strongest member of the Palin clan has nothing on the weakest member of the Kardashian clan when it comes to the almighty word of the Twitter bird.
• And finally, us execs from the top floor came down to the newsroom and hung out with the little writers late Friday knocking  back some scotch and pondering the meaning of the world (AKA hung out at home alone on a Friday night watching Comedy Central, eating microwave melted cookie dough and admiring Kevin Bacon).

Tweet Patrol: Second String Kardashian Bests Palin by a Landslide

When you're having a bad day, here's something to make you smile (well, at least a littler more than half of you):

Rob Kardashian (younger brother to Kim, Kourtney and Khloe) has 270% more Twitter followers than Sarah Palin.

Kinda puts things in perspective no?  I mean really - who IS Rob Kardashian? 

• He gets like 3 seconds of screen time per episode of a basic cable reality show
• He never does (AKA is not invited to) press tours with his "famous" sisters
• He dated a Cheetah Girl (oh what's a Cheetah Girl you ask? just a long forgotten Disney Channel movie wherein the real star was Raven Simone and the rest of the girls were kinda just shadows in the background) 
• And oh yeah he has a widow's peak that puts Dracula to shame.  Welp, that's pretty much it.   

Perhaps the Tea Party following is not as massive as we thought?

Week In Review

• Ladies of "The View" - The Cold War Continues Is it just me or does someting gotta give here?  My prediction is that sometime in 2011 either Whoopi will leave or Barbara will retire. 
• Ashton Kutcher Punks TMZ Staffers We cared for like a second, 'till we realized it was a glorified PopChips commercial. 
• Top Five Cee-Lo Green "Forget You" (F*ck You) Covers I did all the hard work researching YouTube just for you. Here's the best of the best.
• British Men Cook Naked Stuff splatters dudes.  And be careful with the flambe!!!
• Sockington: Twitter's Garfield Universal truths: 1) animals behaving like humans is never not funny 2) Married With Children is always on TV (#2 has nothing to do with the post, but amirite???? it's 5:50 in the morning, I flipped on the TV to test my theory AND IT'S ON RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!)
• Funny Sign I think I'm turning into an ironic hipster
• Pretentious has no age limits smug children are on the rise and there is no known cure. Well, there is one known cure: a reasonable rational society. <laughs> so really, no cure.

Remember: When Life Gives You DoucheBags, Clean Your Junk

Ashton Kutcher Punks TMZ Staffers In New Spoof

Ashton Kutcher put TMZ on blast today.  In a new spoof video mimicking TMZ, Ashton and crew film and discuss paparazzi-style videos of TMZ staffers, from Harvey to Max to Dax (it's funny cause it rhymes) to Charlie etc....  In the video, the various TMZ-ites have cameras pointed in their faces much to their dismay. Ashton and crew then insert rediculous commentary, voiceovers and speculation around a few seconds of video.  The original "Kramer" even makes an appearance.




Once the video was loaded, Ashton put TMZ on blast via Twitter:

The video is obviously a promotional spot for PopChips, but the intent runs much deeper than that given Ashton's own experience with the paps.  Wonder how I can get a company to sponsor my personal vendettas.. Hey Pop Chips, call me.  I had this nemesis in Kindergarten, Jamie....

I don't like cats - but Sockington's ok

Dog person here.  But I gotta say, Garfield was my shit when I was little.  I even watched BOTH Garfield movies with Breckin Meyer and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Sockington  http://twitter.com/sockington?from_source=onebox  is the Garfield for today's jaded, cynical adult.  He makes me laugh when I'm pissed off.
