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.

MCCXXIII, a club whose name I type differently every time I write it, has closed, reports the Going-Out Gurus. Rents just got too high downtown. I wonder if that's true everywhere. Now that President Obama has taken office and started filling jobs with the people who helped him get there Clinton people, Stetson's on U Street has been restored to the glory it enjoyed during its heyday in the 90s. It might feel as though the Bush administration never happened on U Street, but you can be sure that isn't the mood in Georgetown. With Democrats ascendant, who will stay up on the right to drink those late-night shots? When will our young Republicans get back into the swing of things?

Former Miss D.C. Kate Michael writes on her blog, K Street Kate, that she was told by soon-to-be reality TV star Katherine Kennedy ("herself!") that filming started yesterday on Blonde Charity Mafia. The show, as you'll recall, is styled after The Hills and follows the lives of young, blonde Washington socialites. It will eventually air on the Lifetime network, following Project Runway.

On the heels of the announcement that Lifetime picked up the Late Night Shots-inspired reality show that's been in development since early this year, we now have the title. According to the Post's Lisa de Moraes, they're going to call it Blonde Charity Mafia. That's the nickname three of the show's main characters have given themselves, due to their reputation for throwing elaborate parties that raise money for charitable causes.

No, you're not having a waking nightmare. It's really happening. So says Patrick Gavin and Jeff Dufour in their Yeas and Nays column in the Examiner.

We can now exclusively confirm that Lifetime has picked up the show and filming begins in September. The half-hour show is slated to air in November and has scored a crucial timeslot: Immediately following Lifetime's popular reality show, "Project Runway" (which will switch from Bravo to the Lifetime network this fall).

So, we know we're supposed to be horrified. And trust us, we are. But now that it appears there's really going to be a reality TV show that follows the infamous Late Night Shots crew as they stumble around drunk between the only two Georgetown bars they're willing to go to, we have to admit there's not a chance in the world we're going to be able to keep from watching this thing. Even worse, we're going to have to blog about it, giving the show exactly the sort of free publicity it surely desires. Are we aware we're playing right into their hands? Yes. Are we proud of ourselves? Of course not. Are we already programming our TiVos? You betcha.

As commenter RJ noted on our earlier post about the Washingtonienne television show, it appears that the reality show we've been ... anticipating? for months now is getting realer and realer all the time. The Examiner's Yeas & Nays column announced earlier today that a cast has been set for the so-called 'The Hills of D.C.' The stars are "local socialites/hotties/20-somethings Katherine Kennedy, Krista Johnson and Sophie Pyle. Johnson’s younger sister, Alexa Johnson, may also play a role in the show." The only profession noted in the article is that Johnson is a partner in a Georgetown boutique, so it's sure to be just as fascinating as The Hills. What a realistic portrayal of life in D.C. And blonde. Very, very blonde.

The Washington City Paper's Angela Valdez provides a two-pronged update today to the monstrosity that could be the Late Night Shots reality TV show we told you about earlier this month.

Late Night Shots, the invite-only, Georgetown social scene site first made famous by why.i.hate.dc, Wonkette and later by an investigative report by the Washington City Paper, has apparently piqued the interest of reality television producers looking to do a show similar to The Hills based on the web site. The image above is currently showing up as a splash page when you log in to Late Night Shots, which takes you to this page inviting only members of Late Night Shots to apply to be a cast member. The downloadable application itself asks a series of fairly standard questions, such as "How would you describe your personal style?", "What is the craziest experience you have had in D.C.?", or "How do you think LNS members are stereotyped? Do you think you fit that mold?"

Hey look, someone who writes for Gawker doesn't know where to go out in D.C., and thinks that everyone who lives here works for the government and never changes out of their work clothes! How adorable.Yesterday, I was trying to get home from Miami, but the weather had other plans, and the plane I was on got diverted to Washington, D.C. To Dulles Airport, to be exact, which is way farther outside of the city...

This week we discussed a jailbreak, found ways to stop global warming locally, spied some naked PETA protestors, dumped the pump, and reviewed Middle Distance Runner's new album. We checked out (and mocked) D.C. Late Night Shots, expressed some reservations with the Pentagon Memorial, celebrated Pride Week, reviewed Assasins, and checked out what some local D.C. personalities were reading. We interviewed Pandora founder Tim Westergren, unlocked the mystery of OpenTable at local resturants, debated...

Rusty, it was your wingman post.
