Drunk Models On TV?
- LA Times, Thursday, December 15, 2011 3:54 PM
"Sober Model House": Sounds like the perfect trashy reality show, right? And it will it be a reality, according to The Insider, which reports that former "Celebrity Rehab"ber and model Janice Dickinson will host the London-based show where a group of models attempt to get sober. Shooting will begin in January.
If that tidbit starts you ranting about the low level of TV today, here's more evidence: "The possible ascendancy of Ryan Seacrest to a plum network news assignment [-- the host of the 'Today' show -- ] marks another notable watershed," writes James Rainey. "Can a purveyor of Top 40 radio and the next singing sensation (not to mention another round of Coke) on "American Idol" command the television stage in a national crisis?"
"The talks have been kept under tight wraps but NBC Broadcasting Chairman Ted Harbert has made it clear that he thinks the versatile Seacrest is capable of making the switch to what was once known as a news show, sources said."
