Ok... we are ALL going to miss Gossip Girl over the summer (I've already started watching all the season 2 I've had recorded) but seriously? American network Bravo have decided to play their hand at easing our withdraw symptoms with their brand new reality show NYC prep that "chronicles the lives of a group of privileged teenagers who are key players in Manhattan's elite high school scene. (sounding familiar?) Students who travel in packs (girls on the steps?)

"Camille takes her studies seriously, balancing rigorous exams... studying for her SATS... and the college application process with aplomb... Always armed with acid-tounged opinions and witty retorts." Blair Waldorf anyone?

Ok. Blair Waldorf/ Leightom Meeter does her hair better, has better clothes and looks less dweeby.

In the cast you also have Jesse (who's blond I might add, just like Jenny Humphry) who also wants a career as a fashionista. PC (what a name!) is a guy with a scarf. (Chuck Bass anyone?) And there's Sebastian, another Chuck, who "is known among his circle of friends as the guy who constantly hooks up with the hottest girls."

I mean seriously? I thought the television networks in the UK were desperate when they repeated my show... But what's with all these reality shows sprinting up out of hit shows? I can't believe the Real Housewives (based on Desperate Housewives) is still running...

Same Stylist?

I have become, not wore than ever aware of the art of a cliche, especially girl bands all dressing the same. Not the same as each other; but the same as other girl bands.

Cue The Saturdays. In all their music videos they seemed to have this jelling colour thing going on. It was cool, unique. I liked it. In their first video; 'If This Is Love' they had black dresses and coloured tights. In 'Up' they had black tights and the same colour as their tights had been in 'If This Is Love' dresses. In 'Issues' it was umbrellas. In their most recent video which I can't even remember the name of at the moment they seemed to have given up on all that coordination. And maybe thats a good thing.

Cue the Wonder Girls.

In case you hadn't head of them Wonder Girls are one of the biggest girl groups in South Korea, and their releasing 'Nobody' as their first US ingle this month. Who knows if they'll catch on in the UK? I'm thinking they will, as most unfortunately, they're opening for the Jonas Brothers on their upcoming US tour.
