Reality Show Pitch

Title: From Rags to Runways

Format:
"Reality Series"

Log Line: This series is about an up and coming FIT graduate trying to make his way in Hollywood as a fashion designer.

Treatment: The show has a lot of potential because it will show the graduate moving from NYC, where FIT is, to LA in order to break into the Hollywood fashion scene. We'll see him going through the ranks, first starting as an intern and slowly building himself a reputation in the fashion world. He'll go from one fashion design company to the next, and he'll meet many interesting people. And of course, there will be drama because no reality show is complete without it, plus Hollywood ALWAYS has drama. The show has the potential for many seasons because there's so many stages that the new designer can go through before actually establishing himself as a prominent member of the fashion community.

Jon Gosselin is Lying...?

Apparently, Jon Gosselin has a few issues to fess up to. One of these specific instances is his alleged clothing line for children with Ed Hardy. However, fashion designer Christian Audigier's rep claims that Gosselin is lying.

Just recently, Jon Gosselin had been explaining that his girlfriend and children will be a part of this alleged clothing line.

Says the spokeswoman, "Christian is absolutely not starting a kids' clothing line with Jon. As of right now, there is no clothing line in the works between them at all."

Some Jon Gosselin fans have obviously sided with him. In his defense, a certain fan claims that Jon and Christian probably had started talking aboutt a clothing line together until Jon started getting all of this bad press from his new girlfriend which made Christian nervous about their whole business, backing out and claiming to know nothing about it.

Others who are not backing Jon at all explain that he is "immature" and he should rob a children's clothing store because it would be more "believable."

Report on iReport

CNN's user-generated site, iReport, does not seem entirely reliable. It is deceiving because the fact that it is run by CNN makes it seem like a reliable source for news and events, yet it is still user-generated. It is similar to wikipedia.com in the sense that the posts on both sites are submitted by the sites users. Teachers in school tell their students NOT to cite or use wikipedia cause its not fact checked and can be changed at any time. In other words, it is an unreliable source. The same thing goes for iReport. It says right on top of iReport's homepage "That means the stories submitted by users are not edited, fact-checked or screened before they post. "

Almost all of the content on the homepage of iReport is related to Michael Jackson. How surprising! Another turn off about this site is its appearance. It just is too messy and unappealing with the fonts and colors. First of all the fonts are really boring and not very eye-catching. They should use more fun fonts that draw the site's users in instead of boring them. I feel that there is just too much going on on the homepage. Between all of the photos and all of the wordiness on the page, my eyes are not sure where to look. However in its defense, iReport's headings are easy to spot out because they are all in big, bolded, blue letters.... and they all have to do with MJ's death.

I think that iReport could use a little spiffing up. I am not crazy about its appearance because it is a little too bland yet the content makes it too confusing to look at.
