Reality TV Edition

Because modern classics like The Biggest Loser and My Big Fat Brazilian Hooker don't really appeal to our highly-cultured sensibilities, we've kinda missed the bus on reality television...but we hear it's really big in Europe! In development, however, is a show that has us quivering in anticipation: reality television for magazine whores! Word from a producer comes our way which commences the hunt for Conde Nasties and assistants from all the other glossy publishing houses (you're so not off the hook, Dennis), and we can already see the episode where the Vogue and Ellebots compete for the immunity cigarette. The orgasmic details after the jump; can someone make sure Linda Wells' gimp gets a good audition time?

Off the Record (Businessweek, Cargo)

The old debate about the value of a journalism degree became slightly more interesting with the creation of the Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York, and the Monday-afternoon appointment of Stephen B. Shepard, the current editor in chief of BusinessWeek, as its new dean.

The school is scheduled to embrace its first flock of 50 students in the fall of 2006, will grow to a maximum of 200 students in its first three to four years, and will come with a price tag of approximately $5,400 to $7,100 per year, based on the current cost of a year of in-state graduate tuition at CUNY.

Maria and Arnold get Hot Magazine Cover
by HANK PLANTE
Published 12/2/2004

The cover of Vanity Fair is prime placement for anybody in Hollywood or Washington -- or for anyone who would like to move from one city to the other.

And that's where Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver find themselves this month, complete with photos by the renowned Annie Leibovitz.

"You can't buy publicity like this," said public relations consultant Sam Singer. "This is the governor of California with Maria Shriver in a Hollywood setting, but it's very serious... It really leads him on a path to potentially becoming the president of the United States... These are the types of news stories that change people opinion."
