Kell on Earth

>> Page Six reported this morning that Kelly Cutrone fired her former assistant Andrew Mukamal because after appearing on Bravo's People's Revolution-centric show Kell on Earth, Mukamal, in her words, "cared more about being a TV personality than being my assistant." She added that he was distributing photos of himself in front of the People's Revolution logo, with captions about what he was wearing: "Just because you worked as an assistant in the fashion industry doesn't make you an expert." Mukamal, who has reportedly pitched his own reality show to E!, responded, "No comment." But Cutrone took to her Twitter this afternoon to clarify: "Time to go on record about Tara Palmeri's Page Six item about [Andrew Mukamal] and I - Andrew has not worked at [People's Revolution] since July — I am not upset about his desire to be on TV — I wish him the best — If I wanted to cut ties sharply or in an aggressive manner with Andrew — I would have done so in July not now — Must have been a slow day over at Page Six."

>> Kelly Cutrone Working on Scripted, Fashion-Based Show with MTV? — Kelly Cutrone's Bravo reality show Kell on Earth hasn't been picked up for a second season yet — a Bravo spokesperson confirmed the jury was still out, although the show's ratings were small, with the series premiere bringing in under 300,000 viewers. It seems that Cutrone's not holding her breath: word has it that Cutrone might be heading back to her old digs at MTV for a new project. "Who has a new deal at MTV? Hmmmm, could it be Kelly C ?!!!! I think so," Tweeted Cutrone on Sunday. While an MTV rep declined comment, insiders confirm that Cutrone and MTV are in discussions, and from Cutrone's tweets yesterday, it sounds like she's veering out of reality TV: she's set to be in Los Angeles at the end of the month to pitch a pilot for a scripted, fashion-based show she's teamed up with Fake Empire, the executive producers of Gossip Girl, for. "Fiction is the new Reality," she Tweeted. [Vulture, @peoplesrev, @peoplesrev, @peoplesrev]

Here's a reader request from Anna:

I am totally in love with Ava's bed from Kelly Cutrone's apartment. So far it has been hard to find anything like it, especially for something that is not amazingly expensive. I was wondering if you had any resources for where I could get a bed like this. I just got a new apartment and need a new bed.

>> Kell on Earth Renewal Up in the Air, But Kelly Cutrone Already Has Another TV Project —Kelly Cutrone's "Kell on Earth" reality show on Bravo came to a close with its season finale on Monday, but will it be back for more? "Nobody announces a season two at the end of a show," Cutrone says. "I don't really know what's going on." A Bravo rep added, "We don't have any decisions on a season two yet." But Cutrone also noted that she signed a "major deal in LA last week" for a "scripted network TV show." The show will be about the fashion industry, and Cutrone says she's set to executive produce and write. [PRNewser]

It's almost cap and gown time! In the third season finale of Greek, Cappie and co. are chilling on Spring break pre-graduation from Cyprus Rhodes, but it's hardly goodbye — the show will come back for a fourth season, which many of you are happy about. In the episode, titled "All Children . . . Grow Up," we'll find out if Casey gets into law school and what it means for her relationship with Cappie. I'm guessing we'll also have a satisfying setup of where the characters will go when the series returns post-grad.

Meanwhile, over on Bravo, Kelly Cutrone's reality show Kell on Earth comes to a close. This first season has seen several of the People's Revolution staff either fired or having quit, and that's just the beginning of the drama for the NYC office. I got shamelessly addicted to the show, mainly because of Cutrone's brazen attitude and the highly stressed but fabulously dressed staff members (most notably assistant Andrew). Kell on Earth hasn't been picked up for a second season yet, but considering the company's rotating door of employees, there's a ton of material there for more.

Ever since her appearances on The Hills and later The City, PR maven Kelly Cutrone has attracted attention as a brusque, no-nonsense personality — and shown herself perfect for her own reality show. Bravo's Kell on Earth focuses on the People's Revolution founder and a handful of her associates when it premieres tonight.

I've always been fascinated by Cutrone — even though I'd be terrified to work for her, I think she's endlessly watchable. It'll be interesting to see if the producers try to make her more sympathetic; supposedly we'll get to also see her life as a single mom. That said, with a name like Kell on Earth, I don't expect to see too much of her softer side during work hours.

This afternoon Kelly Cutrone was interviewed via live stream by the Associated Press to promote her Bravo show, Kell on Earth, and revealed a few new tidbits.

Talking about censoring herself for television, Cutrone promised she remains "one of the most unedited PR communications expert that exists" while filming her show and that she doesn't allow the cameras to alter her often-explosive reactions. On hiring and firing staff members, Cutrone revealed, "we lose a couple of peeps along the way this season." Adding she hates to let people go, Cutrone explained how she recently had an employee do the firing because she needed to get to a Jonas Brothers concert with her daughter Eva.

However laissez-faire the PR guru seems to be about opening her life to Bravo's camera crews, Cutrone admits premiering a new show is dangerous territory. "I'll be happy in a couple of weeks if the ratings are good," she said. "You have to get good ratings to stay on T.V. If not, there's nothing to talk about." And, in Kelly's world, nothing to talk about might just be the worst fate. Kell on Earth premieres tonight.
