This Is the True Story of Seven Journalists Picked to Clean Their Desks
As reported last week, obsessive-compulsive Wenner Media honcho and Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner has signed a deal with MTV to film a new reality show. (Why should Atoosa Rubenstein have all the fun?) The series will follow a group of journalism students as they move to New York for internships with Rolling Stone (it's still a relevant publication, you know), where they will then compete to become a contract writer with the magazine. Think as if Miss Seventeen banged Almost Famous and gave birth to Gideon Yago.
Today, the Times tells us what we can expect of the show's set-up:
Mr. Wenner, 59, said he was dead set against sets like group housing and hot tubs, devices commonly used in reality shows as a sign of escapades to come.
Unless, of course, the young male contestants are especially luscious.
