"Gimme My Reality Show" has
Reality Television's Most Outrageous Line-Up!
Kato Kaelin, Ryan Starr & Bobby Trendy Join the Cast
With George Gray as Host
LOS ANGELES—Fox Reality Channel, the only all-reality, all-the-time cable and satellite
network, has locked in the cast of the new original series, "Gimme My Reality Show!"
announced Bob Boden, Senior Vice-President Programming, Production &
Development, Fox Reality Channel. The series, hosted by George Gray, follows 7
celebrity reality stars as they compete to win their own reality show. The 4-episode onehour
series —premieres Saturday, October 11, at 12a/11c following the 2008 Fox
Reality Channel Really Awards; both produced by Natural 9 Entertainment.
"After our initial cast announcement for 'Gimme My Reality Show!' the flood of interest
from reality TV's celebrity community was overwhelming," said Boden, "We chose
unique personalities from a wide variety of popular reality shows, who will surely deliver
entertaining television."
Celebrities joining the previously announced cast of Traci Bingham, Santino Rice and
Gretchen Bonaduce include Kato Kaelin, Ryan Starr & Bobby Trendy.
Kaelin first garnered attention as a minor witness, and one of the more colorful
characters, in the O.J. Simpson trial. Presently, Kaelin hosts "Eye for an Eye", which is
a daytime TV court show that is in syndication in 34 countries, as well as "National
Lampoon's Viral Videos." He is also touring with the comedy play "The Weenie
Manologues," the male response to "The Vagina Monologues."
America fell in love with Starr and her off-beat rocker attitude when she became a finalist
during the first season of FOX Broadcasting's "American Idol." After touring the U.S.
with Idol's top ten, she widened her fan base by touring across South America. Starr
was later featured on VH1's "Surreal Life 3", where she got an opportunity to show her
true colors as a genuine rock star. Ryan Starr continues to pursue her music career,
and is currently recording an album.
Trendy rose into the public eye thanks to his distinctive sense of style and his flair for the
extravagant. Through his interior design company, Bobby Trendy Designs, Trendy
quickly became the darling of Hollywood celebrities, and decorated the homes of
—More—
Carmen Electra, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Dennis Rodman. Trendy's introduction to
audiences came when he was selected to decorate the home of one very highmaintenance
client on E!'s "The Anna Nicole Smith Show." His unique charisma turned
what was to be a single appearance into an entire season of unbelievable antics, and
Trendy became an instant icon of interior decorating.
This charismatic and diverse group of celebrity reality stars will battle it out through a
variety of creative challenges in an effort to convince the public they should get their own
future reality show on Fox Reality Channel. Judging the efforts of the stars will be a
panel made up of a reality television producer, an entertainment agent, and former
reality star. The show's host, George Gray ("Junkyard Wars," "Weakest Link" and
What's With That House"), will help moderate the competitive stars, and his quick wit
and engaging presence will help keep him on top of the drama.
The ultimate winner will be chosen by an audience vote. S/He will be announced during
the show's grand finale on Election Night (November 4, 2008), and will receive his/her
own original docuseries to premiere on Fox Reality Channel in 2009.
