Jonathan, Kim, Simon

By Sarah

Did anyone watch the premiere of the new E! reality show following Kim Kardashian’s PR pal Jonathan Cheban?

WE DID, only because it followed the season finale of one of our favorite guilty pleasures– Keeping Up With the Kardashians. While we openly love KUWTK, we were not feeling SPINdustry (not that we changed the channel– we were in a sushi-fog, plus we love train wrecks).

The Kardashians are easy and so  indulgent to watch- there’s just SO MUCH STUFF going on, between unexpected pregnancies, quickie million dollar weddings, the eye candy that’s Kim and her fashion shoots, all the plastic surgery, SUVs, mansions, oceans– the 30 min are always up way too soon. And on the finale, we were in the hospital room while Kourtney gave birth– and pulled the baby out of her. And while it’s certainly SCRIPTED, our favorite guy we love to hate, Scott Disick, always manages to go off script after a few drinks. Try turning away from that. We can’t.

But Kim Kardashian, in wake of the nutso success of her family’s reality show, might have gotten a little too greedy by attaching herself as producer to SPINdustry. If it lost ME in the first 5 mins, it’s in trouble.  As it opens, in an extremely canned moment, Kim and the partners of Command PR, Cheban and Simon Huck, are windexing cupcakes to avoid eating them. (Well, the likable Simon is wielding the windex). The thin-over-think stuff doesn’t stop there– minutes later a very young, extremely slender PR girl opens the door to her hotel room in just a bra and mini -skirt. Mind you, this is how she chooses to be introduced. At this point we have no idea who she is, but now we’re stuck with the impression that she wants us to meet her boobs before her personality. When the other girl says “You’re naked!” She says something like “I know, I’m so Lady Gaga.” WHAT! How dare you. Anyway, pan to her trying on clothes (the other girl is thrilled she showed up for THIS. It’s exhibitionism at its most dull). She decides on a 3 inch mini skirt, but keeps bemoaning how FAT she is, while tugging at the belt/skirt over her bony legs. This. was. so. offensive.  If she lost 10 lbs she’s be in the hospital. THEN she proceeds to wear said outfit out in the daylight. The show stumbles along from there, but I couldn’t really tell you anything else that “happened,” except that Jonathan is so mean to his assistants, but then again, they’re idiots… and I felt bad for ex-Spice Girl Mel B., one his “clients.”

Also, in a disturbing turn, Jonathan Cheban has taken to his twitter to lash out at people who didn’t like the show. Yep, he’s telling them they are “losers,” “morons,” “dummies,” and “need to get nose jobs.” It’s intense, spiteful, and ugly.  Just SAYING. Why would you want a publicist who harped on the negative and sought out individual people to insult their looks? Hope he doesn’t find this blog and email me! That’d be a day-ruiner.
