Just in case you missed the news this morning from Post TV columnist Lisa de Moraes, The CW has announced it is picking up the young D.C. socialite-focused and Late Night Shots-inspired reality show, Blonde Charity Mafia.
The show was originally set to appear on the Lifetime network as a lead-in to the popular Project Runway, but that deal eventually fell through. Six 30-minute episodes of the show will air on The CW on Tuesday nights at 9 p.m., starting July 7 and running through Aug. 4. We won't know whether more episodes could be ordered until after it starts airing.
The CW is billing the show as a "docu-series," even though it has already been reported to be largely scripted by its producers. What, you mean reality TV isn't actually real?
You can read about the entire trashy summer TV line-up on The CW over at Variety. Blonde Charity Mafia will take over the Tuesday night slot after the initial run of another new CW reality program, called Hitched or Ditched, based on the charming concept that couples who have been dating for years will be given an ultimatum by a friend to either get married or break up within a week.
Tuesdays nights on The CW this summer: all class.

Blonde twins... total fantasy material.
Redheads might be better.
They've got dead eyes. And I don't do the necrophilia thing. Anymore.
Seriously?
Awesome even more ways for fly-over country to think that DC is nothing more than 500K+ douchebags living in one city...I can't wait for the Real World to announce they are filing here too!
Can't. Stop. Staring. At. Melani's. Jaw.
This'll probably sound misogynistic, but it goes double for guys. Whenever I see a jaw like that on someone, I find myself balling my hand up into a fist. This is why I just can't watch Heidi Montag do whatever it is Heidi Montag does anymore. What is it about lantern-jawed dingbats that makes me get all punchY? Same thing with washboard abs you see on the cover of Men's/Women's Health Magazine.
bsmith, did you just describe non-urbanite Americans as fly-overs and then express incredulity at the supposedly false reasons those people might think Washingtonians are douchebags? Oh my God, you're like a genius, except totally the opposite of one.
Washington IS fly-over country, my dear. Only NYC and LA are not....that's my understanding.
enie meanie minie mo,
which one of you will be McGillicuddy's skanky ho?
I'm guessing that unless you're the 500K+ douchebag described in Comment #2, the answer is "none."
You never know. I mean, it depends on what the "charity" in blone charity mafia stands for ... and I'm guessing its not feeding the homeless.
Take them to a museum and impress them with your art knowledge.
Guaranteed Score.
Shayna and Melani? Why don't we just call them 'Token'?
Does it really count if they aren't real blondes?
I can't wait for this. Let me guess. The show will have
Gov't employees who live in fab G'Town houses;
Someone is boinking a married Congressman;
Someones father is Secretary of Defense and her hijinks cause him political embarrassment;
EVERYBODY works for Gubment, and all they want to do is talk about the Gubment;
There is lot's of "That's not how it works in this town" dialogue;
Lot's of people have views of the White House/Capitol at their homes/apartments;
No one eats at Potbellys
There will be a Metro in G'Town,
They will bend over backwards to portray the few African Americans on the show as as very successful.
The theme song will NOT be by Chuck Brown.
That kind of sounds like the plot for the current season of 24.
Maybe the entire show will be made up of them making witty comments on DCist?
HCE - you nailed it...yet another bullshit misrepresentation of our city and the real people who live here.
see your own comment above. Not necessarily a false representation.
Right now, the analog-digital signals are reaching the other place. A galaxy, somewhere out there. By now, they think they have a clue on our workings because of the shows they've seen and they are laughing their asses off.
"Who thinks of these shows? Who watches them? Why are they even made? What happened to Gilligan's Island?"
Skinny gals in cheap Ross dresses. Thank goodness for the remote control. Just telling me that a show like this even exists makes me so angry.
So i'm guessing since 'mafia' is in the title, some of the girls in this photo are going to be killed during the series. That might make it somewhat interesting to watch.
I don't know about murder. Three 6 Mafia won an Oscar for "It's Hard out Here for a Pimp". There might be another award out there for a group who can convincingly portray the plight of the ho.
Can't wait for the spinoffs, especially World's Strongest Blonde Charity Mafioso on ESPN9, Blonde Charity Mafia: Fashion Victims Unit on USA, and Blonde Charity Mafia: After Dark on Cinemax.
Oh ESPN9! The Nueve!
Beginning in September 2009, ESPN9 will have exclusive television coverage of the Peoria Public Schools 8th grade dodgeball draft!
Those two girls are obviously not twins. What's it with men and seeing two blondes, brunettes, or red heads and just assuming their twins because they have the same hair color?
How do you get obviously not twins? Not all twins are identical.
(That said, any fantasies involving snotty Georgetown socialites, twins or not, creep me out big-time.)
Not twins, but all four might be contractually obligated to be on the same dental plan.
So, have they reserved the underside of the Key Bridge yet?
Because they look from the hair straight to the gun rack.
Will the viewers be allowed to harm these women? I have these urges sometimes. Sometimes.
I can't wait for the cliffhanger episode that finds them chained up in a basement with a saw.
Blonde = superficial quality
Charity = not interesting enough to be on tv
Mafia = a term that is clearly inappropriately applied
Even the name makes me want to gouge my eyes out. And DC takes another one for the team..
..the show will air on The CW on Tuesday nights at 9 p.m., starting July 7 and running through Aug. 4.
Tough time slot. Who wants to watch tv when the weather is so hot and sticky? I suppose hot and sticky might be right in this mafia's wheelhouse.
Boy, the show will be pretty relevant - Wasn't it filmed pre-election? And supposed to be picked up by Bravo, last fall?
Nice try ladies, ( & producers & scriptwriters) but I really don't see this getting too far out the gate. Yawn...
I still don't get all the hate... are all of you hipsters really that insecure?
I'd hit each and every one of 'em. Twice.
Who said they wouldnt be up for a little menage a cinco with them? we just dont want warch their stupid show
Good luck with that. I highly recommend wearing at least 3 condoms and investing in a Costco bottle of Tilex.
Oh please, these bitches won't make it through the first season. I'm pretty sure no one will want to watch some rich bimbos pondering their shoe choices for that evening's ball, given the current state of our country.
And The CW? Ha ha ha!! That's the lowest-class, 4th-tier, tween-y, irrelevant network. Good job sluts!
FAIL!
