LA LA LAND ARCHIVE - FOX steals Reality 24/7's

Well, a year and a half later, I'm now working for the enemy!!!!!!!!!!!! But since, no matter what, you're on my side, you should check out www.realityremix.tv and see the website I've been working on for the show!!



Well It seems that my fans are screaming for their "LA updates" so I guess I need to get on it.

Things have been very crazy at Reality Central this week. The new name, by the way, is official - "Reality 24/7"

On Tuesday I got in to work 30 minutes late do to some horrendous traffic on the 10 West. Here I am thinking everyone is going to wonder where I am, but as I walk in the office I find Gordon sitting at his desk, and all the lights in the main office are out.

Now we aren't talking blackout-weird-man-in-the-corner sorta thing, but it was a bit odd. The office has a lot of windows, so the light comes in, but anyway, the point is, we usually have the lights on and they weren't, and Gordon was the only one there.

Apparently, as some of you may be hearing soon, FOX has announced the launch of its new "reality network" which obviously took us by surprise ( or at least me!!). Gordon was there to fill me in, and others were off taking care of things because the news broke just minutes before I got there.

No one around here seems to be too stressed about this situation because many of the other networks are up in arms about FOX and how they are stealing reality programming etc. Larry Namer (CEO and Head of Reality Central) had a meeting with us this morning, and he is very calm. He says it's one of those Lemons= Lemonade sorta things and that we'll be fine as long as we take action. SO, though I am a bit concerned, it seems as though things will iron out soon.

here are some articles if you care:

and there are tons more where that came from - dahh geeze


The good news is that this event, in itself, has produced a lot of work for me. I am contacting stars - yup - on the phone!!! to sign them up for various events, etc that we will be doing. Karen (my boss) has given me so much responsibility and opportunities to shine. So the way I look at it, even if they can't offer me a job here now, I'll have good references and the position to get a job here once they do launch.

For those of you asking, "so what are you going to do?"
I am still not exactly sure yet.

Kate has been here this past week and we've had a blast visiting Santa Monica, getting sushi, and catching up. We plan to live together once she moves out here in September. I have a "dinner date" with her and her father (Producer of Frontline, and an awesome man in general!) tonight after my class so I plan to talk to her more about rooming, etc.

It looks like it may make sense for me to go to Charlotte for a few weeks and then get things rolling with a "move to LA date" around September 1st.

As for everything else, the roommates are good. Elesha is visiting next week - can't wait!! The weather here is wonderful.

Oh and I am now on the Reality Central website

Well I'm sure I've left out thing or two since I have gotten a bit behind on my emailing, but I'll be sure to write more soon.

Have a good one
