Cincinnati boy and fellow SCPA alumna Nick Lachey is apparently trying to pimp out my high school for an MTV reality show.
He must be stopped.
The untitled pilot from Lachey revolves around the students at his alma mater, the School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati. Tony DiSanto, executive vp series development and programming, said the project boasts a unique format that breaks new ground in the reality arena, similarly to how MTV's "Laguna Beach" launched a new form of unscripted storytelling.
It organically will blend performances by the students with the narrative about what takes place in the school. For example, it might feature students breaking out into dance in the cafeteria or use a student's practice session on his or her instrument as the soundtrack for a scene. DiSanto added that the project also features a "unique visual language that sets it apart" from other shows.
Let me just tell you that if you're sitting in the cafeteria and someone breaks into song, the only unscripted quality might be the mashed potatoes that get thrown that way. Also, unless they're going to wait until the school moves into their new campus, the "visual language" will be one of Cincinnati Public School's deferred maintenance plan.
