Reality Roll Call

Apparently more people are talking about how lame Ashton Kutcher’s newest reality show is than watching it. Pop Fiction, which drags out Kutcher’s “Gotcha!” dead and decaying horse from the barn, and beats it one more time, has paired up d-lister Kathy Griffin and no-lister Adnan Ghalib just to trick the paps. Or so, we all think.

Because if these pictures are not the basis of some played-out Ashton Kutcher ruse, it’s really, really sad. And also kind of creepy.

Ashton Kutcher spent six seasons making fools out of celebrities in the MTV hidden camera show, Punk’d. Now he is turning the tables on the press and paparazzi with the E! show, Pop Fiction.

Pop Fiction, which will premiere Sunday night March 9, will set up the press by essentially making them privvy to false information about the celebrities whose privacy they invade for a living. A prime example of a recent Pop Fiction set-up was the Paris Hilton/Guru story that had been making the rounds recently.

The show, which is produced by Kutcher and Jason Goldberg will be around for at least eight episodes.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher are getting together to do a reality show. Ashton, best known from That ’70’s Show, has created hit reality shows like Beauty and the Geek, and Punk’d. Supermodel Banks, is the host of daytime talk show, Tyra, and is the creator of the very successful America’s Next Top Model.

No word yet on the premise of the the show they are collaborating on, but I’m guessing that it’s about wanna-be models that get elaborate pranks played on them.
