Menace II The City

Whitney Port's The Hills spin-off (the cleverly-named) The City, is so painfully contrived and boring and stupid and annoying that it defies mention.

Or so I thought!

According to the
HuffingtonPost, Nevan, who plays "social" Olivia's cousin on the show, was arrested for trying to pay for a blowjob with Oxycontin. Yes! Some people live the life, huh? I know that Nevan is just a side character on a show about side characters, but even just the whispered potential that people on this show might solicit blowjobs from lady cops posing as prostitutes with the promise of Oxycontin as payment makes it almost worth watching. That's actually a sign of just how bad The City is, that a member of the cast was arrested for trying to pay for a blowjob with Oxycontin (the funnest thing to say since "the Vice President shot his friend in the face") and it's still virtually unwatchable.

However...

It seemed pretty impossible that something like that would ever make it on the air, but apparently MTV has decided to answer their critics who claim that shows like The City are lifeless staged soap operas. As this exclusive clip shows, things get pretty gully for Whitney and friends in the Big Apple:

If the fake ass "reality" MTV shows were really like this, I would watch them. All of them.
