No Retrospective Book in Works for Doomed New Reality TV Show “Soul Mate”
By admin on Jan 26, 2010 with Comments 0
ASPEN. In April 2009, people from all walks of life—mostly young and attractive—auditioned for Brienne Cross’s new TV reality show, “Soul Mate.”
The show was a mish-mash from the beginning. Not only were the producers looking for someone who could sing back-up on Brienne Cross’s new album, but the real prize was for the person who could become Brienne’s best friend and confident.
Writer Nick Holloway, who covered the project for Vanity Fair, said in an interview with The Aspen News that the atmosphere was “divisive.” He would not elaborate, but did mention that in addition to writing a series of essays about the everyday workings of the show, he took hundreds of photographs. Holloway, in conjunction with Vanity Fair, was planning to produce a book that would be a photo retrospective of the show’s taping, along with comments by Brienne Cross and the contestants.
In the aftermath of the Aspen Massacre, Vanity Fair has decided not to publish Holloway’s essays, and Showtime Books has decided against publishing the retrospective in deference to good taste.
THE SHOP is a work of fiction, a political thriller by M.J. Hawk.
