Just What The Country Needs To See

On the horizon — a CBS reality program about Upper East Side prep schoolers, modeled on “Laguna Beach”:

CBS is about to turn a swanky Upper East Side prep school into a reality TV set.

The untitled show will center on a group of students from $25,000-a-year York Preparatory School, alma mater to Liv Tyler and Kelly Klein, and will be modeled after MTV’s hit reality series “Laguna Beach,” which follows a California high school clique of mostly gorgeous, tan blondes as they navigate love triangles and spending sprees.

This is all very fortunate, now that we’re caught up on all of the Gossip Girl novels.
