While we can't tell you for sure that this casting call is for Andy Cohen's noted sect of housewives on Bravo (*cough* *cough*), but an ad posted today on Craigslist seeks six affluent housewives in the Bay Area for a reality show project.

"These women should live affluent lifestyles in the San Francisco Bay Area and be comfortable with cameras following their day-to-day activities. Put your best stiletto forward and show us how amazing your life is with an uninhibited unscripted video."

You must be in the 25 - 55 range, so that leaves Dede Wilsey out of contention by a mile. Heh. But seriously, you should have a penchant for crazy ranting and prescription drug use. Also, dear readers, do you have any recommendations for San Francisco housewives you'd like to see embarrass themselves shine on television?

A source close to the production of the show informed SFist that they're looking for also looking for a gay househusband/wife as well.

Read the entire ad below.

SF Examiner has details that ABC is filming the a new police pilot in SF. It's called True Blue. It will star Scott Foley, Marc Blucas and Theo Huxtable. And we can't imagine it doing well. TV is focused onendearing family dramas right now (Brothers & Sisters, Parenthood, Modern Family). What's more, we cannot imagine it winning an Emmy Award. Like, "And the Emmy goes to...True Blue" doesn't quite roll off the tongue. But we like being proved wrong with television shows we judge too soon, too harshly. (Breaking Bad and The Hills being two recent examples of shows we initially craped until further viewing. Even though The Hills transformed into dried fecal mater after LC left the show, so...we digress.) Anyway, SF Appeal has more details about ABC's latest attempt into the cop show genre. Let's hope it fairs better than NBC's disastrous Trauma.

What we would like, however, is for Bravo to discover San Francisco. Billed as the gayest watchable network on TV right now, they have no plans, as for as we know, to film a Real Housewives cycle here in picture-perfect Baghdad by the Bay. We see nothing in Variety or Hollywood Insider. Atlanta, New York, Orange County, and even New Jersey get to to degrade themselves with a patented Real Housewives spectacle. Why can't we?

Or, better yet, give us a gender-bending Real Husbands of San Francisco, showcasing the many fine, very wealthy, penis-carrying elite? And it should only star the finest SF-based men who love men. (That is to say, no transplant Castro trolls, politicians, or wonks who threaten your Editor with litigation after seeing them come out of a gay bar bathroom covered in Peruvian flake. Ahem.) Last October, Popnography had a piece claiming that Bravo producers were "looking for 'high rolling, affluent, social, stylish couples.'" Though that rumor fizzled out, we think locals like Joel Goodrich would be nothing short of sheer fucking genius on a Bravo-crafted show.

Hop to it, Bravo. Please.

Is Bravo's new show, , about a gaggle of vile, murder-worthy teens so poorly received that they have to resort to spamming a site like SFist? Seems so. See, yesterday on SFist, the following comment popped up on a week-old post about a missive the perturbed chancellor of Dwight School in New York City sent to parents and alumnae concerning said reality show ("Chancellor at NYC Prep School Livid About Bravo Reality Show").

Commenter / likely Bravo PR flack icantstopwatching writes:

It's an enjoyable show if you don't take it seriously -- admittedly, hard to do if you belong to the world it depicts. There's a lot of fun NYC Prep content at BravoTV.com. For instance, there's a fun quiz to see whether you could survive in the Darwinian private-school world of NYC Prep:

Like P.C.'s style? Here's a gallery of his best looks

And here's P.C.'s therapy session (a video preview from tonight's ep.)

Wait, who on earth is P.C.? Because we know of L.C. We like L.C. And, P.C., you're no L.C.

Anyway.

Bravo, you're a network littered with nothing but gay men. You really should know better than to post bad fangirl comments on SFist or any other site. Sheesh.

Gus Van Sant isn't the only one who might make you a shiny, coke-addled star here in San Francisco. Take, for example, MTV and NBC who want to use you for their up-and-coming reality programming.

• MTV's Real Word--a show that used to highlight people living with AIDS and Lyme disease, but has since shifted gears into showcasing disposable sluts doing bodyshots--is having an open casting call this Saturday, Jan. 26, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at, appropriately enough, Suite 181 in San Francisco. Applicants are asked to bring a recent photo of themselves and a photo ID. Please be between the ages of 18 & 24 minus any redeemable character or self-awareness. If you're too hungover to make it to the call, you can also apply online here. (Bunim-Murray, what hath you wrought upon us? Oh. that's right: totally awesome TV.)
• Bravo announced that they need some choice cattle, namely you, for "The Dating Project." The casting call will take place at Broadway Studios on January 26 (Sat.) & 27 (Sun.), between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Bravo, you see, is looking for "sexy, successful, eligible, bachelors, 25 to 35 years old to sweep a young Hollywood Starlet off her feet and capture her heart." (Conversely, give her a bag of high-grade Peruvian flake, and she's all yours.) The show takes place in the Hollywood Hills, and if you think you've got what it takes to look good on camera and shame your family for years to come, then email your name, number and photo to datingprojectcasting[at]gmail[dot]com.

Heidi walked on to the runway wearing Uhura's "Star Trek" uniform--seriously--and told the designers they weren't going to need their models for this week's challenge. Ru-roh! She then sent them all to 10 Rockefeller Plaza where they met Tim Gunn who introduced them all to Tiki Barber.

Wait. Who?

Tim went on the explain to all the gays and girls that Mr. Barber once played football for the New York Giants, and is now a correspondent on NBC's "Today" show. And he likes clothes. So his appearance on the show has nothing to do with the fact that he's on an NBC TV show, and NBC also owns the Bravo network, and he'll then go on the "Today" show wearing the winning outfit therefore promoting "Project Runway." No, it has to do with the fact that he likes fashion, enjoys wearing pink, and has a big neck and giant ass. (His words, people, not ours!)

If you're a fan of "Project Runway" you probably know that season four premieres tonight on Bravo at 10 p.m. (And if you're not a fan, what is wrong with you!) We'd be watching not matter what, but we are doubly excited about this season because there are two--TWO!--designers from San Francisco competing this time around.

Next is Simone LeBlanc, who studied at the California College of the Arts, but now resides in Los Angeles, and already has her own clothing line, TS Bloom. (Also, didn't she play Ashley on "The Young and the Restless"?)

Ms. LeBlanc and her clothing line brings up a good point about this season: the contestants seem to have a lot more experience than in previous years. Perhaps the producers are realizing it takes more than this show to launch a career? It takes a career and winning the show to launch a career.

We'll be watching those two closely and will provide our recaps each Monday. And if you've ever had a run-in with either of them, let us know!
