Reality TV is So Jane

Seventeen and Rolling Stone's reality shows were certainly huge successes, right? So it makes total sense for Brandon Holley's Jane to get in on the reality show bandwagon with The Fashionista Diaries, a new skein that "revolves around six fashion assistants - two in public relations, two in beauty, and two in magazines - as they scramble to fill their bosses every demand, appear non-threatening to other 20-somethings in their cubicle, and look hot doing it."

As you might imagine, this type of fair is only suitable for HBO ... and SoapNet, which is where it'll air, likely sandwiched between primetime reruns of Y&R and B&TB.

They're aiming to piggyback on the bump in readership and publicity that The Hills lent Teen Vogue, so it's a decent trick not to make the show entirely about Jane. (That seems to be where the Hearst and Wenner titles stumbled.) But if there's even a chance of Brandon Holley showing up to utter "That's so Jane," you can bet your newsstand sales that we'll be tuning in.
