The blissful innocuousness of MTV’s The Newlyweds is about to get slapped upside the head by UPN which is launching a new reality series focusing on the much trashed lives of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline. Denied by the couple but filmed over the past year or so, the series will follow the odd couple from courtship through marriage and, as rumors have hinted, perhaps, through pregnancy. Debuting at the end of May, the series will have an initial six episodes
UPN Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff explains the series saying, “I don’t think there’s anything sugarcoated about this. It’s pretty raw and pretty real. I don’t think (viewers) have ever been exposed to people being so honest and open about their lives.” That’s code for lots of bitch fighting/slapping. We’re there.
By the way, what the hell’s up with Variety’s invented slang? Prexy? Skein? Competish?
