Lots of you are used to reading LateNightShots.com on your computer screen (the members-only forum is a favorite onlinehangout for Georgetown’s young, pretty and rich set … and an occasional outlet for some risque comments). But are you ready to see it on your television screen?
For months now, Washingtonians have heard and read about plans to develop a reality show based on LateNightShots.com. Production company PB&J Television put out a casting call earlier this year for “this new primetime docu-series in the vein of “The Hills” which will feature “ingenues, fashionistas, bad boys, jet-setters, etc.” PB&J includes a photo director from “Laguna Beach,” so hanging with the rich and occasionally obnoxious is certainly not foreign territory for PB&J.

The goal is to end up with four gals and two guys that the show will follow around town to club openings, spas and other local hot spots.
“From what they’ve said, they’re very happy with the applicants,” said Reed Landry, co-founder of LateNightShots.com, who has been advising PB&J during the process. If the pilot does get picked up, LateNightShots.com will be featured in the show and will remain involved in its development. “It sounds like it has a good shot.” (Reporter Angela Valdez, reporting at CampusProgress.org, wrote that PB&J’s Hawa Eisenbaum “says she’s had nibbles of interest from networks.) Further, the show won’t whitewash the site’s more controversial elements. “They’re going to embrace LateNightShots’ edgier side,” Landry told us.
Get ready.
