TV Tonight: Stylista

BuzzSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 06:30:32 -0700

Maybe it's a little bit of wish fulfillment or just my journalist nerdiness coming out, but I'll watch pretty much any show having to do with work at a newspaper or magazine. So when I first heard about Stylista, the new Tyra Banks-produced reality show that premieres on the CW tonight, I had a sense it might be right up my alley.

Stylista pits 11 aspiring magazine editors against each other as they perform various assistant tasks (think The Devil Wears Prada) and editorial assignments under the withering glare of Anne Slowey, a high-ranking Elle fashion editor. (Serious Project Runway fans may remember her as a guest judge in the early seasons.) In one episode, the wannabe editors have to give their personal style a makeover and then create a magazine page about it; in another, they're sent to Chinatown to find and write about a hidden gem.

I watched the first two episodes, and while Stylista follows the predictable format of today's ubiquitous "11 aspiring [insert profession here] compete at [insert tasks here]" shows, it's delightfully catty and pretty darn fun to watch. And if ever there was proof that casting is everything in the reality world, Stylista's it; by about 10 minutes into the first episode, I'd vowed to keep watching at least until my love-to-hate-her villain of choice is eliminated.

Do you think you'll give Stylista a shot? To watch a preview, just read more.

The Hills and The City Are Back Tonight - Which Are You More Excited About?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 10:45:20 -0700

Forsaking the old Monday night time slot, The Hills and The City have both moved to Tuesday nights, beginning with tonight's premieres. A new night is not the only thing that's different about MTV's cornerstone reality shows: over on The Hills, Lauren Conrad is gone, replaced by her old Laguna Beach nemesis/all-around bad girl Kristin Cavallari.

The City has also had a few cast shakeups; buddy Erin and feuding couple Allie and Adam are all out, and new roommate Roxy and Elle PR villainess Erin are in. We already got to see some of the changes on camera in last week's sneak peek clips, and I have to say, I'm a little more excited about The City than The Hills. It looks to be more intriguing than last season, where the story revolved around Whitney's relationship with Jay.

But back in L.A., with Lauren gone, I worry there won't be a stabilizing force - leaving nothing but all-out antics from Heidi, Spencer, Audrina, Justin Bobby, and Kristin. Or maybe it'll just be a super big time extra guilty pleasure. So which one are you looking forward to tonight?
