Reality Roll Call

Well, the first person I would like to see on the show is Star Jones, whose “friendly pairing” with Dwyane Wade has been giving me slight stomach cramps all week. But I don’t think that is going to happen.

Nostalgia network TV Land, whose reality show niche seems to be geared to the over 40 crowd, has just ordered a show that sounds like a cross between The Bachelor and Age of Love for women. The show, which was developed by High School Reunion’sMike Fleiss , will have an older woman looking for love from a younger man.

According to the press release:

“TV Land announced today the pickup of a new elimination dating series, Untitled Cougar Project, where eligible young men vie for the attention of a sexy and accomplished mature woman (the Cougar). Through a series of creative and romantic challenges, the men will be eliminated weekly — all at the discretion of the Cougar. The network will produce one-hour episodes slated to air in early 2009. Casting for participants has begun nationwide.”

If you think you have what it takes to snare a younger man, or if you are a young man looking for a cougar to tame, click here to apply at the casting site for Cougars.

Maybe we’ll see Mariah Carey on the celebrity version, after she’s done with new hubby Nick Cannon. Hell, she’ll be 40 very soon.
