Nick Cannon reviving Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous for a new generation of poor people
With the economy showing moderate signs of improvement and definitely no longer vulnerable to the wildly unchecked aspirations of the American consumer, the Style Network believes the time is nigh for a reboot of Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous. The series devoted to lavishing envious awe on the carefree spending of the wealthiest people in the world will begin shooting new episodes in the fall, replacing original host Robin Leach with omnipresent host Nick Cannon, during one of his few waking hours not spent hosting something else. The Hollywood Reporter says the show will bring an updated glimpse into “the homes of dot-com money, hip-hop fame, one-hit wonders and old money glitz” not seen elsewhere in Cribs, the Real Housewives franchise, myriad other reality series and gossip blogs, or the dangerous self-delusions of a society repeatedly encouraged to live well beyond its means.
