E! Entertainment Network gets 'Pretty Wild Neiers Sisters'
Tess Taylor, Pretty Wild is a American television show that began airing yesterday on E! Entertainment Network with the backing of New Wave Entertainment, and Borderline Amazing Productions out of Los Angeles, CA. The show follows three sisters, Tess Taylor, 19, Alexis Neiers, 18, and Gabby Neiers, 16, as they make their way into the Hollywood socialite scene. Their mother, Andrea Neiers, is a former lingerie model from the late 1980s who helps manage Tess and Alexis’ budding modeling careers. They only succeed at getting into trouble. Dangerous trouble. Andrea home-schools the girls in the living room with the stripper pole and boasts, “I base all the curriculum on the movie, ‘The Secret.’ “ What? Does the California Board of Ed have an alternative curriculum in bullcrap? In the premiere episode, the cameras are (luckily) there when the police practically bang down the door to arrest Alexis (no secret) on suspicion of breaking and entering the homes of celebrities. Apparently, she was dumb enough to keep the stolen loot at home. The real tragedy as she sees it? Because of her arrest, she was dropped from a lingerie shoot. So much for following in her mother’s thong. The show starts with a bang all right, but — since they only sent the first episode with one night of clubbing and the bust — it’s hard to tell where this is headed. Other than to jail. On this coast, the woman who put the “lite” in “socialite,” soon-to-be-divorcé Tinsley Mortimer proves that the socialows she hangs with are nearly as vulgar and as criminal as the Neiers clan. The show follows her around in the days after she splits from her moneybags ex-husband. New apartment, new dates, new photo ops. Tinsley’s pals, unlike the West Coasters, add the always-important social qualities of impromptu violence and casual racism to the mix. Tinsley turns out to be the least interesting of her horrible crew. She pales in horribleness next to her friends, J.P. Calderon, an accused purse lifter who throws a glass at a woman and his sworn enemy, rich girl Jules Kirby, who says, “My friends do not tend to be homosexuals, fat or Jewish-y bald . . . I use the ‘N’ word sometimes, but I really think it should be OK sometimes.” Then she adds, “My dream is to work at the UN.” Perfect. She’d fit right in. It’s all horrible.
