Oh. Goodie. First came L.A.'s The Hills. Next will come its New York spin-off. And this fall, we'll also be treated to a D.C. version of white girls of privilege. From something called PB&J Television (they produced Sports Illustrated's model reality show) comes Washington's attempt at "unscripted" reality, with an as-yet-untitled show that's set to start filming in September and rushed to air by November. And how do we know it's a sure thing? Well, you never really know, but Lifetime did pick it up and supposedly plans to air it immediately following Project Runway, which it's stealing from Bravo to create quite the perfect lead-in. "Casting hasn't been finalized, according to one source, but the primary characters — local socialites/hotties/20-somethings Katherine Kennedy, Krista Johnson and Sophie Pyle — remain on board. Johnson’s younger sister, Alexa Johnson, will also play a role in the show, most likely, although she and the show are still working out specifics. The Johnson sisters are alumnae of South Carolina’s College of Charleston, Kennedy graduated from Loyola Marymount and Pyle is taking a semester off from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill." Also, they plan on being "more realistic":

This was Krista Johnson last month: '“It’s all going to be about our real lives,” said Krista Johnson, who is a partner at the Georgetown boutique We One You Two. “It’s going to be in the same vein of MTV’s ‘The Hills’ but ours is going to be more realistic.”' Uh huh.

Although we'll totally tune in for the fantasized drama, it's not so much what Johnson & Co. are going to offer viewers — drama at IndeBleu? — but that D.C. is finally becoming the bedlam of controversy generations of politicians always argued it could be.

When TMZ's D.C. gossip site fizzled out, we were sad. Then last month we got a hint at something called D.C. Prep, the Washington version of Gossip Girl, though we're still not sure if it was a fanciful montage posted to YouTube or an actual project in the works. And now — well, now there's the D.C. Hills, and it's ACTUALLY GOING TO GET HERE.

This is exciting, for us and D.C., because it'll give the city a chance to dump its reputation as a stodgy city run over with ugly lobbyists and lawyers, and replace it by being known for a stodgy city run over with ugly lobbyists and lawyers with a couple pretty blonde girls willing to vamp for the camera.
