Report Indicates Idea for PROJECT RUNWAY Possibly Stolen

THE NEW YORK POST is indicating that the concept for the hit reality TV series PROJECT RUNWAY may have been stolen.

The report indicates that designer Cynthia Rodriguez and fashion merchandiser Elizabeth Zwiebach says PROJECT RUNWAY about competing fashion designers is a copy of their proposed show AMERICAN RUNWAY.

The duo registered the idea with the Writers Guild in March 2003 and spent the next several months pitching it to production companies.

The report than went on to say that a few months later, they were flabbergasted to hear about Heidi Klum´s almost identical PROJECT RUNWAY

"Since we pitched the series idea prior to March 2003, we are confident this claim has no merit," said Miramax Television´s Sarah Levinson.

MTV And SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE Search for a Real-Life Cover Girl

MTV Music Television and SEVENTEEN, the number one magazine for teens, published by Hearst Magazines, announced a ten episode pick-up of a new series for the cable network. PROJECT SEVENTEEN (Working Title) will start production in April and is scheduled to premiere on MTV in the fall of 2005.

PROJECT SEVENTEEN will chronicle the magazine´s search for a girl who most deserves the title of AMERICA´ SWEETHEART.

Young women from across the country will compete to prove that they have all the well-rounded credentials to be a role model to SEVENTEEN´s 13 million readers. The winner of the show will receive a prize package that includes a college scholarship, a paid internship at SEVENTEEN and her face on the cover of America´s biggest selling teen magazine. Casting calls for the new series will take place this spring in cities across the country. Exact times, dates and locations will be announced shortly.

Since the majority of SEVENTEEN readers watch MTV more than any other network, PROJECT SEVENTEEN is a natural progression of MTV and SEVENTEEN´s already strong relationship. SEVENTEEN´s April 2005 issue, on newsstands now, carries an MTV theme throughout its pages. The issue features exclusive interviews with MTV celebrities, beauty secrets of today´s biggest stars and the scoop on the network´s hot new shows. An announcement of the SEVENTEEN reality show on MTV also appears in the April issue.

"MTV is the perfect partner for a reality show with Seventeen because both brands talk to today´s young audience with the same successful mix of real-life honesty," said Hearst Magazines President Cathleen P. Black. "Bringing the pages of SEVENTEEN to life with one of today´s most respected and popular television networks for young people is a very exciting project."

"Since our viewers look to MTV for access and a behind-the-scenes perspective to the real world, we can´t wait to capture the drama and excitement of what it takes to be a SEVENTEEN cover model," says Lois Curren, Executive Vice President, Series Entertainment, MTV. "We are confident that this will be a series that is completely entertaining - and empowering - to our joint audiences."

"Our readers have grown up watching reality TV and expect their favorite brands like SEVENTEEN to have a multimedia presence that makes them an even bigger part of their daily lives," said SEVENTEEN Editor-in-Chief Atoosa Rubenstein. "We need to speak to our readers online, in print and on television to stay relevant and top of mind in a world where they communicate in so many different ways."

Cassie Graduates From Daytime Reality Series STARTING OVER

Cassie, the sweet, shy Alabama native who won the hearts of her housemates with her story of poverty, abuse and alcoholism has graduated in triumph from STARTING OVER (syndicated, check local listings for time and station), the acclaimed real-life daytime television drama.

Produced by the creators of THE REAL WORLD and THE SIMPLE LIFE, STARTING OVER has recently been nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards.

Cassie (last names of cast withheld) came to the attention of TV producers during a casting call held in Birmingham. Twelve years sober, Cassie had overcome alcoholism and an impoverished, abusive childhood. She came into the STARTING OVER house with a desire to find the son she gave up for adoption years ago - something she had done before she became sober, and a source of deep shame ever since.

Under the guidance of the STARTING OVER Life Coaches Rhonda Britten and Lyanla Vanzant, and Consulting Psychologist Dr. Stan J. Katz, Cassie soon came to realize that she suffered from incredibly low self-esteem. While in the STARTING OVER house she learned to forgive herself and now Cassie graduates at peace with her past, full of hope for the future, and confident that she and her son will be re-united eventually.

With her graduation behind her, Cassie has returned to the Birmingham area, and has vowed to take and pass the GED exam. As her graduation gift from STARTING OVER, Cassie was serenaded by her hero, musician John Davidson, and she received a package of GED tutoring sessions, and a scholarship for a nursing degree, a career she decided to pursue while in the STARTING OVER house.

The "STARTING OVER IN AMERICAN TOUR" a personal appearance tour by the show´s Life Coaches Rhonda Britten and Iyanla Vanzant, arrives in Birmingham at the Century Plaza Mall on Saturday March 26th at 2:00pm. Recent graduate Cassie is expected to attend.

Additionally, a STARTING OVER casting call is planned for Wednesday, March 30th from 10:00am to 5:00pm at the Sheraton Birmingham Hotel. More details on both of these events are at www.startingovertv.com.

STARTING OVER features a group of women living together in a Hollywood Hills home and striving to improve their lives. The daily one-hour, real-life drama follows a diverse and ever-changing group of women as they attempt to make extraordinary changes in their lives - all while living under the same roof.

Each woman in the STARTING OVER cast is expected to reside in the STARTING OVER house for six to twelve weeks, depending on the scope of her "project" and her rate of progress toward her goal. Those women who achieve their goals graduate in triumph. Those who falter can be asked to leave the house.

With Very Little Promotion And Fanfare - ABC Premieres VACATION SWAP Tonight

In a very unusual marketing twist, ABC is premiering a new reality show, VACATION SWAP, with very little promotion and fanfare.

There have been no press releases indicating what the show is about and very little, if none, on-air promos by ABC.

The show, VACATION SWAP, is replacing the series WIFE SWAP in it´s time slot this evening.

The ABC.com website is indicating that VACATION SWAP is premiering tonight and their description of the show is as follows:

Could your family survive a two-week vacation with a completely different family you´ve never met?

See what happens when a millionaire family accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle, complete with a butler and chef, goes on holiday with a blue-collar family whose idea of a vacation is roughing it in a trailer park!

For this special broadcast, two families who have never met both agree to take vacations together. In the first week, one family goes on vacation with the other at a location and in a style that´s completely foreign to them, while in the second week, the other family vacations the way the first traditionally does. It´ll be a vacation package neither will ever forget.

Chelle Hawn, 44, and her four sons, Mark (21), Brian (20), Joe (17) and Ben (13), live in the lap of luxury in their mansion in Georgia. Used to getting whatever they desire at home, family vacations tend to be over the top. Wherever they go, the Hawns travel in full style because money is no object. Their traditional vacation includes skiing in ritzy Aspen, Colorado, where they rent a house for 10K a night -- including a private chef and butler. But once there, the Hawns spend so much time doing their own things that their vacations aren´t the bonding experience they should be.

On the other side of the country, Jackie Orlando, 50, also nicknamed "Big Mama," her 51-year-old husband, Joe, and their three children, Joe (20), Stephanie (20) and Matthew (14), are a close knit family from southern California. This down-to-earth family is so animated that neighbors call the clan "the loud Orlandos." Their traditional vacation includes fitting the family of five into their tiny trailer and traveling to a low-budget RV park outside a dairy farm in Southern California. But the Orlandos go camping every single vacation, and wonder if they shouldn´t broaden their horizons.

By the end of the two-week vacation swap, will the families have learned that, as far as family vacations go, hell is other people? Or will they this year bring home something more valuable from vacation than just a souvenir?

AMERICAN IDOL Has Major Screw-up On Vote Count

Fox has announced this morning that due to an error with the graphics shown on-screen (incorrect voting numbers were displayed) during the performance recap at the end of last night´s AMERICAN IDOL, a live, one-hour show will air tonight, Wednesday, March 23 9/8c on FOX, to enable a re-vote. This new show will combine new live elements with encores of Tuesday´s performances from the remaining 11 contestants.

Phone lines will open at the conclusion of tonight´s show and will remain open for two hours to give viewers the chance to vote for their favorite contestants and keep them in the competition. Only the voting results from tonight´s show will determine who received the lowest number of votes and will be sent home this week.

Tune in to see who America has chosen to stay and who is sent home on the live results show tomorrow, Thursday, March 24 9/8c live on FOX.

PROJECT RUNWAY, The Reality TV Fashion Show Is Coming Back For Second Season

On the heels of the overwhelming success of the first season of PROJECT RUNAWAY, Bravo and Miramax Television will begin production on the second season of the premier reality series set in the glamorous and rigorous world of the fashion industry, it was announced jointly today by Lauren Zalaznick, President of Bravo, and Harvey Weinstein, Co-Chairman of Miramax.

"It's been great discovering new talent and giving viewers the chance to have an inside look into the exciting world of fashion," said Harvey Weinstein. "We´re looking forward to another successful season of PROJECT RUNWAY with Bravo and Heidi Klum."

"PROJECT RUNWAY is in the cross hairs of Bravo´s programming mandate--to give viewers a unique, behind the scenes perspective into the creative process of an integral part of pop culture," said Zalaznick. "Miramax is the absolute best television partner on this series that we could hope to have for this second season, and many more to come."

Supermodel Heidi Klum will return as host of the series, which gives aspiring designers a chance to break into the notoriously difficult-to-crack fashion world. Along with the critical praise the series received, the first season garnered record ratings for Bravo. With 500% growth over its total-viewer and key demographic premiere numbers in December, the series finale on February 23 of cable´s hottest show delivered the highest numbers for any Bravo telecast for the 2004-05 season to date.

Expedia.com has released the names of five former APPRENTICE contestants who are scheduled to participate.

Stacie J.
Age: 29
Residence: New York, NY
Marital Status: Single
Education: B.A., Emory University; M.B.A., Mercer University

Stacie J. is the multi-talented wildcard from Season 2. It is no wonder Stacie J. made a lasting impression on fans. She is a tough businesswoman and her female competitors were quick to put her to the test. With a diverse career in modeling, acting, and owning her own restaurant franchise, Stacie J. fits perfectly in New York´s playground. Her career started at 16 and by the end of grad school, she had opened her first restaurant. Stacie now owns a Subway Sandwich Shop franchise in Harlem and continues her professional modeling career with Ford Model Management.

Raj
Age: 28
Residence: Philadelphia, PA
Marital Status: Single
Education: B.S., Economics and B.A., History, Boston College

Fans of Season 2 will not likely forget Raj. With a very impressive list of qualifications, Raj showed his competitors his strengths stretch beyond the Boardroom. Most notable for his out-of-the-box fashion and keen eye for the ladies, Raj was able to bring humor to the most serious of tasks. With humor on his side, Raj has already proven himself as a business success. At age 23, he founded Automovia Technology Partners, which developed cutting-edge technology for automobiles. He later created Vanquish Enterprises, a real estate company, which acquired a hotel, retail and condo development in Vail, CO.

Jennifer C.
Age: 31
Residence: New York, NY
Marital Status: Single
Education: B.F.A., Syracuse University

Jenn C. is a competitor, to say the least. With beauty and brains, she showed fans of Season 2 that she is determined to have her share of success. Mr. Trump must have agreed when he chose her as part of the elite group. Mr. Trump himself stated, "She is very tough and she is very smart!" Jennifer has been a competitor since the age of nine. At 21, she launched her successful career as a magazine photo editor. Jennifer continued her career in true New York fashion by moving into the highly competitive real estate game and landing a position with one of the most prestigious firms in NY.

Bradford
Age: 31
Residence: Fort Lauderdale, FL
Marital Status: Single
Education: J.D., Nova Southeastern Law School

It´s obvious why Bradford was an immediate standout in Season 2. He exudes leadership and confidence, and those qualities coupled with his successful dual career as a defense attorney and a real estate investor quickly put him on the favorites list, especially with his female competitors and teammates. However, taking one for the team in Episode 2 didn´t sit well with Mr. Trump, and his career as THE APPRENTICE was cut short. Bradford continues to grow his law practice, Bradford Cohen Law, and increase his real estate investments in Florida.

Nick
Age: 29
Residence: Los Angeles, CA
Marital Status: Single
Education: B.A., English, University of San Diego

Nick Warnock left a lasting impression as one of the "final four" from the original APPRENTICE. Good old-fashioned hard work put Nick´s career on the map, and his determination and natural selling skills secured him a golden opportunity in THE APPRENTICE. He was a hard worker, a tough boardroom competitor, and a charmer. Nick continues to diversify himself in his business and personal life. His experience on the hit show has led to many opportunities, including TV and film roles, speaking engagements across the country, and endorsements deals. On top of all this, he is currently filming a pilot for his own business show.

Participants Names Announced For THE NEVADA PASSAGE Adventure Competition

Twenty athletes from 11 states are confirmed to participate in THE NEVADA PASSAGE, a made-for-television, multi-sport adventure competition that will start in Las Vegas and loop around the state, concluding in Reno, Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt announced today.

Ten male-female teams, all amateur athletes and paired by profession, will compete in the six-day six-adventure series May 19-24. Each team will compete in all six sports, and the team with the most points at the end wins. Their Nevada adventure will be filmed and edited into a one-hour reality television program, syndicated and broadcast in more than 80 U.S. markets beginning in August. The Nevada Commission on Tourism (NCOT), which initiated the event, expects the program to reach at least 2 million television viewers, Hunt, NCOT chair, said.

"TV viewers watching THE NEVADA PASSAGE will see Nevada in a new way," Hunt said. "Most programs focus on Las Vegas and its fabulous hotels and entertainment, but this program also will capture athletes in action on Nevada´s beautiful high desert and let viewers see what's out there beyond the dazzling city lights."

THE NEVADA PASSAGE begins with rock climbing in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and riding personal watercraft on Lake Mead, both near Las Vegas; four-wheel driving in the high desert near Ely, bicycling in Lamoille Canyon near Elko, sandboarding at Sand Mountain near Fallon and kayaking on the Truckee River Whitewater Park in downtown Reno. After each day of competition, the teams will travel to the site of the next day´s event.

"Nevada offers the unexpected, a rugged, mountainous landscape with great scenic beauty that is wide open for sports activities to suit many interests," Bruce Bommarito, NCOT executive director, said. "We expect that THE NEVADA PASSAGE will expose millions of viewers to parts of Nevada they have never seen and inspire them to come and experience an outdoor adventure for themselves."

Three Nevada residents are among the athletes that TEAM Unlimited, the Hawaii-based company that is producing THE NEVADA PASSAGE, selected for the competition: Tom Lyons and Kent Robison, both lifelong residents of Reno, and Susan Hughes of Incline Village. Other states represented in THE NEVADA PASSAGE are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

To emphasize that Nevada´s adventures are accessible to people of all skill levels, TEAM Unlimited selected athletes age 25 to 57 representing a variety of professions, including bartending, finance, law, aviation, medicine, news media, firefighting, and business.

"These athletes have full-time careers and lives that involve activities TV viewers can relate to, like balancing parenting, playing in bands, household chores and sports," Hunt said. "Pairing a man and woman by profession is an unusual twist and adds special interest. Viewers might find themselves rooting for the team that shares their profession."

The roster of confirmed athletes, which is subject to change, are listed, women first, by name, age, profession and city of residence:

Finance:
Randi Grush, 38, chief financial officer of a post-production facility in Los Angeles, Calif.

SURVIVOR Castoff Ashlee Ashby Wanted To Be Voted Off Show

THE GREENVILLE NEWS is reporting that SURVIVOR Castoff Ashlee Ashby who was voted off last week on SURVIVOR PALAU says she never wanted to be branded with the reality TV label. In fact, she says, it´s a big reason why she asked to be voted off the island.

The show´s editing, Ashby says, made it seem her aloofness was her demise, but not shared with the audience was her explicitly asking fellow tribe members to boot her off the island. She wanted off both because she couldn´t stomach the conniving nature of "the game" and because she feared the label might hinder her aspirations to be an actress.

Reality shows are all about typecasting, and if you´re on the show long enough, you risk becoming known professionally as little more than "That Girl From SURVIVOR" says Ashby.

The show, she says, gave her just the exposure she was looking for.

Brother Of THE CONTENDER Contestant Who Committed Suicide Speaks About Death

In an interview with ACCESS HOLLYWOOD, Diediera Turpin, brother of Najai "Nitro" Turpin, the CONTENDER contestant who committed suicide, says "the show was never the problem" in regards to what might have influenced his brother´s actions. The interview aired on ACCESS HOLLYWOOD on Tuesday, March 1, 2005.

Turpin says he feels that it was the lifelong personal struggles that Najai endured and not his participation in THE CONTENDER that propelled him to turn a gun on himself in a parked car in front of his girlfriend of six years this past Valentine´s Day. "He strived," says Turpin. "He came from nothing to do something because it´s hard out here. The show was never the problem, boxing and all of that was never the problem. It was a personal problem."

According to Turpin, Najai´s girlfriend hasn´t spoken to any member of their family since she witnessed the former CONTENDER hopeful take his own life, so they are all left wondering what exactly happened on Valentine´s Day. When ACCESS HOLLYWOOD called Najai´s girlfriend for a response, she said that no altercation occurred between she and Najai the day he ended his own life.

Whatever the case, Turpin says that he, Najai´s four other brothers, his sister and his daughter are still looking for answers. "We don´t have any knowledge of what happened," he says. "We just know that we don´t have a brother anymore, he is gone."

MTV Announces THE REAL WORLD/ROAD RULES CHALLENGE THE INFERNO II

MTV: Music Television announced the launch of THE REAL WORLD/ROAD RULES CHALLENGE THE INFERNO II The on Monday, March 7 at 10:00PM (ET/PT).

The series features 20 legendary veterans of MTV´s THE REAL WORLD and ROAD RULES divided into two teams: the Good Guys and the Bad Asses. The teams will compete for more than $300,000 dollars worth of cash and prizes.

BMX bad boy Dave Mirra shakes up the peaceful resort town of Manzanillo, Mexico as he hosts what promises to be one of the wildest challenges ever with 15 team missions, 8 Inferno face offs, and one grand prize competition. After the first team competition is completed, each team votes for someone from the opposing team to compete in the upcoming Inferno challenge. In the next day´s team competition, the elected Inferno warriors try to win the "Lifeshield," which would allow them to send someone else to the Inferno in their place. However, if they are not the top finisher in the team mission, they will proceed to compete in the head to head endurance challenge: the infamous Inferno.

Barbed wire, steel bars, and a ring of fire isolate the Inferno competitors as they battle to outlast and outdo each other in order to remain on their team-the losers leave the post-apocalyptic styled coliseum empty handed. From an air-suspended game of chicken to a grueling vertical wall climb and a disorienting spin on a torturous wheel, the Inferno´s challenges are bound to get out of control. Watch as the Good Guys and the Bad Asses agonize over which players from the opposing team to send to the Inferno without knowing which of their own teammates will be going as well. In this survival of the strongest, it takes both team performance and individual endurance to win the ultimate prize.

In conjunction with the INFERNO II, MTV.com is presenting The After Show, the ultimate online after-party and MTV´s first ever online series. The After Show is hosted by former ROAD RULES(The Quest) personality, Blair and features intimate cast interviews, an interactive "truth or dare," an "ADD Recap" of each episode, as well as a special "Beat Blair" segment where Blair challenges his guests to participate in outrageous stunts like "What will Tonya put in her mouth," "The Drama Dice" or a "Whore-Off." The After Show will air directly after INFERNO II on Mtv.com beginning on March 7 with Mike "The Miz" as the first guest.

The Bad Asses team members include: Karamo (REAL WORLD PHILADELPHIA), Dan (REAL WORLD MIAMI), Tina (ROAD RULES XTREME), CT (REAL WORLD PARIS), Veronica (ROAD RULES SEMESTER AT SEA), Tonya (REAL WORLD CHICAGO), Abe (ROAD RULES SOUTH SEAS), Derrick (ROAD RULES XTREME), Beth (REAL WORLD LOS ANGELES), and Rachel (ROAD RULES CAMPUS CRAWL).

ABC Announces An Actor As The New BACHELOR

ABC´s hit romantic reality series, THE BACHELOR, will kick off a new season with Charlie O´Connell in his hometown of New York, New York. The seventh edition of THE BACHELOR will premiere with a two-hour special MONDAY, MARCH 28 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Charlie O´Connell is a financially secure 29-year-old jack of all trades who enjoys a fantastic lifestyle and a love for life that is contagious. Charlie, a self-described fun loving "good guy," has long cherished his carefree bachelor lifestyle. However, amongst 25 beautiful bachelorettes, is there one girl who can stop Charlie in his tracks and inspire him to settle down?

While he grew up in New York City, Charlie currently splits his time between both coasts. For the last eight years Los Angeles has been his main residence, where he lives with his older brother, actor Jerry O´Connell. He also spends much of his time at his family´s home in Montauk, Long Island with his parents, whose marriage of over 30 years serves as the model relationship Charlie so desires.

This season will be unlike any other on THE BACHELOR, as we strip down some of the formalities and offer viewers a less structured version of the program. On the first day there will be no limos, no gowns and no traditional rose ceremony. This time there are no rules and anything can happen, as we give Charlie the opportunity of a lifetime to discover if love is out there waiting for him
