Russell Crowe to star in reality show

Movie star Russell Crowe is set to star in a reality show called South Side Stories, which will focus on his rebuilding of the Australian rugby team he is the co-owner of, the South Sydney Rabbitohs. From what I understand, the team is in pretty bad shape, so the 6-part series should be interesting.

CBS has ad agency reality show in the works

CBS has ordered an advertising competition called “Jingles”, created by the reality show mogul Mark Burnett.

Jingles, which is set to air next summer will have contestants competing for cash and a job at a major ad agency, based on the jingles that they will create for real and imagined projects on the show. I think they should work on jingles for pharmaceutical drugs like Cialis. I’d love to have the jingle for Cialis stuck in my head.
