I don’t know about you, but when I think of The Bachelor’s Jake Pavelka, professional crazy person Heidi Montag, Sopranos’ “Big Pussy” Vincent Pastore, ex-hooker Ashley Dupre and Real Housewife Danielle Staub, the phrase “foodie” isn’t the first that springs to mind.
VH1 is testing the waters with a new food reality show called Famous Food, starring these fun-loving, er, foodies as they struggle to launch an L.A. restaurant (named Famous Foods) with restaurateurs Mike Malin and Lonnie Moore.
The usual challenges involving concept, marketing, menu and design will most likely be met with the usual C-star antics.
Oh, and for anyone who thinks Heidi is too fancy to work in the food world, step. Girlfriend put in mad time behind the counter at Taco Bell back in the day.
The reality star joined Ryan Seacrest to talk about the show, which also includes Three 6 Mafia’s Juicy J and DJ Paul. Hear the interview here.
