But seriously, as a wee lass, i recall the old school flavour (i kill me) nearly pulling out entire rows of teeth. That "not too hard, not too soft" marketing point is crazy. Because yeah, it is just enough in the middle of those so-called extremes to do permanent damage. I love it!

"So meta! And that will, for a blog that has designated Allison an icon of a new age of self-levitating celebrity, make great entertainment."

Run the script through Charlie Kaufman, then recast the other two with digital clones of Julia and BOOM! You've got a hit.

To completely drop the "All Julia, All the Time" storyline at Gawker for a moment:

Which is absurd, and the attendant narrative not that interesting. So let's leave it at this little factoid, and continue in the prettier spelling of our words together!

While I find her the least unattractive of the trio, there's just something about Megan that bothers me. Oh, I know what it is: her head isn't attached to her body! It just seems to be freely floating, and will soon blot out Mary, and later Julia. This could be a really cool sub-plot for the show. ("Anybody seen Megan's head?")

Who am I kidding? I'm so gonna have nightmares now.

Finally, My Little Pony returns to TV, with Megan, Sundance, and Posey pursued by the evil Catrina who finally catches them and makes them smoke Witchweed in an effort to turn them into lipstick lesbians. They are rescued by the Cobra Commander, but its out of the fat and into the fire as they are forced into a sex slavery ring in Bulgaria.

Bravo will then sell the story to the Lifetime network for production of a full length movie starring Jacyln Smith as the evil Catrina.

MisterHippity — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:26:09 EDT

I still don't buy this, Nick. If Bravo "greenlighted" (greenlit?) this series, why is there no mention of it on their site? Or any other public place? Why do you need to attibute this "news" to unnamed sources? Why would Bravo want to keep this a secret? If they really agreed to do this show, I'd think they'd be happy to talk on the record about it and milk any free advance publicity they could get.

I don't think this show has been picked up by anyone. I think it's being shopped around, but nobody's bought it, and you're just hyping it in the hopes someone will (so you can finally cliam you "created a celebrity" - or maybe because you're an investor in this project). I'm willing to believe that, maybe, a pilot will be shot this summer to help try to sell the concept - but I'm guessing that's about it.

I stand by my original prediction: This show will never air anywhere.

Once again, I am going to have to complain that Julia's plastic surgeryed face does not move right when she speaks. So can she have some job other than appearing on television?

Also, internet version of The View? What a steaming pile of crap idea. This is going to be short, and sweetly trainwreckalicious. Have fun on Celebrity Fit Club One Million!

So here's the thing. As someone who very merrily watched Make Me A Supermodel, I have been extremely impressed by Bravo's ability to highlight Teh Geigh in absolutely any relationship.

So, in the best of all possible scenarios, Bravo edits the show to make the girls look like they're all diddling each other. The girls, in turn, are mortified, but won't make waves for fear of their limelight being taken away. And we get to laugh at them in a way that they're not controlling! Everybody wins!

(Also, I think Asha is the best-looking of the three by a mile. In a gaunt, praying mantis-y kind of way.)

Can I be the commenter who expresses outrage at the faux stupefaction on the part of the owner of the blog whose superfluity of posts bemoaning the news-unworthiness of the girl in question helped elevate her to now-dizzying levels of pseudo-fame? That would be meta, too! Or full of irony! Or just stupid! Something!

As the Prophet Bill Hicks posited, someone probably just asked one simple question before the show was greenlit: "Will there be titty?"

This will be more of an alternate reality show where women get by on their looks and build fame on top of infamy.

All right, a not so alternate reality.

@BettyCrocker: If that's not the face of a fucking serial killer, I'm not sure what is.

But seriously, wasn't this done, and better, by Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, and numerous other shows about socialites who are actually famous, very rich, and entertaining? We'll see Julia Allison not have sex with dorks, Mary Rambin exercise a lot, and Asha sorta sit there and make psycho faces? Blind hatred aside, that doesn't sound at all entertaining. Fail.

Bravo seems to be taking their breaking with Project Runway kind of badly.

IT Girls, much like the ladies on it, is just a cheap rebound which (after one or two disappointing dates and countless drinks) will be cast aside, only to pick up something younger, fresher, and more entertaining.

Why does Megan Asha get to be an inexplicably famous socialite? She has a crooked face. I'm really not one to criticize people's looks, but if we're going to let people be famous for no good reason, we should at least hold them to some kind of standard.
