Apparently Whitney’s spinoff — called The City, of course — will co-star none other than NYC socialite Olivia Palermo, who’s been desperately trying to achieve mainstream fame forever now.

According to a source, “Olivia has been filming all over town. She’s earning $12,000 per episode.”

Ugh. God. I was actually going to watch this show, but if Olivia Palermo’s on it, I think I’ll just sit on the couch, stare at the wall and drink Ipecac instead. I’ll be less nauseous that way.

Oh, and I’m also hearing rumors that VH1 is currently casting a “real-life Gossip Girl” reality series in NYC. Sigh. The next generation is on their way, folks.
