Olivia Palermo is Getting Her Own TV Show

As one spin-off after the next takes orbit in the ever-expanding reality tv universe, it seems only natural that Olivia Palermo, best known as the icy socialite-slash-villian on MTV's recently-canned The City, would be working on a new project of her own.

Though it's somewhat curious that Elle.com, Palermo's former "employer" from the series is breaking the news, there seems to be no connection between the fashion magazine and the fashion plate—now a spokesmodel for Spanish label Mango—who simply stated, "I’m currently working on a TV project, my own show."

It's a little crazy to think that all this spawned from MTV's Laguna Beach, which begat The Hills, which begat The City, which probably begat the forthcoming return of Lauren Conrad to reality television, and now this. While details are still hazy, Palermo's project may just be the best-dressed one yet. The girl definitely has style. Substance is another show.

Whitney Port Is Sad That "The City" Is Over

First The Hills ended, and now The City.

The MTV reality show, which followed California Girl Whitney Port as she broke into world of New York's fashion industry, won't be back for a third season, its star confirms.

"It's always sad when one major chapter in your life comes to a close, but for me, this is the beginning of an entirely new one," Whitney wrote on her official blog. "I loved filming The City. It was just such an adventure and I'm so grateful for every opportunity it gave me."

The show, which was a spin-off of The Hills (itself a spin-off of Laguna Beach), also starred Olivia Palermo as Whitney's fashionable nemesis, Roxy Olin as a friend and roommate and People's Revolution's Kelly Cutrone as her no-nonsense mentor in the fashion PR world, among others.

Unlike The Hills, which came to a close with an elaborate series finale, fans of The City will have to settle with the season 2 finale, which had Whitney facing Kelly after taking a meeting with a competing PR firm.

"I'm so excited for whatever is next for me," Port's blog continues. "There are definitely a few things in the works, but right now I'm primarily focusing on my clothing line Whitney Eve. After all, it is my baby. I'm just so happy to be back home, I can finally spend unlimited time with those I love."

The City Episode 16: It's All Who You Know

At Armani/Ristorante 5th Avenue, Joe Zee and Erin have lunch. Erin tells him that she and Olivia are working on their next big project, ELLE's Fall A to Zee, but she is worried about how it will turn out after Olivia's previous disappointing efforts. Erin says Olivia hasn't been receptive to her advice and Erin has had to fix Olivia's mistakes. Joe says he still feels Olivia is good for ELLE, but if she doesn't succeed at this, maybe her future isn't at their magazine.

Later, Olivia and Erin make their way to the Badgley Mischka showroom as Erin explains the Fall A to Zee feature. Each letter in the alphabet is assigned a corresponding Fall trend or accessory, so Olivia must find a total of 26 pieces. Erin says she will help look at accessories at Badgley Mischka, but after that Olivia is on her own. Olivia says she only has one other visit planned for the day. Erin chuckles and says she may want to start reaching out to more designers soon.

At People's Revolution, Whitney tells Roxy that she brought some of her sketches to show Kelly Cutrone. Roxy asks Whitney if she can see her designs. Whitney hesitates but shows them to her, asking only for constructive criticism. While Roxy is indifferent about a fabric choice for one of the pieces, she says she is impressed with most of the sketches and encourages Whitney to show them to Kelly.

Whitney takes Roxy's advice and goes to Kelly with 15 sketches that she envisions for a Spring 2010 line. Kelly says she is impressed with the quality of the sketches and gives her feedback. After Kelly says that a good first collection should have 26 to 31 looks, Whitney realizes that she'll need several more pieces. Kelly explains that the fashion industry is like a funnel -- lots go in, but only a little comes out. Kelly reiterates that she will help Whitney, but the sketches need work so she should not show them to anyone else yet.

At Badgley Mischka, Erin and Olivia meet with designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka who show them a dress and different accessories from their new holiday collection. Erin says she hopes Olivia has been taking notes because they'll have to report what they've found back to Joe. Olivia says she has been taking mental notes.

Meanwhile, Whitney, Samantha and Roxy meet for lunch at Blue Water Grill in Union Square. Whitney tells Samantha she showed Kelly her sketches and Kelly said there was potential. Roxy suggests that since Samantha works at Bergdorf Goodman, Whitney should show her sketches to Samantha's boss. Samantha says she would have to see if it was ok, but Whitney says she doesn't know if her designs are ready yet. Roxy says it could only help.

Olivia visits Roberta Freymann at her showroom on the Upper East Side. Roberta shows her necklaces and Olivia photographs the merchandise noting price points and turnaround time. They each say thank you and look forward to working together.

At Mood Fabric in the Garment District, Roxy accompanies Whitney as she collects fabric swatches. Roxy encourages Whitney to meet with Samantha's boss, but Whitney says she is scared of rejection. Roxy says if she can't show the sketches to Samantha's boss, she won't be able to show them to anyone. Roxy continues by saying Kelly is just a PR girl, and Whitney should hear from someone who actually buys clothes. Whitney says she has been struggling with the decision, but she thinks Roxy is right. She knows nothing will ever get done if she doesn't make a move.

Meanwhile, Rachel Roy greets Olivia as she arrives at her showroom. They chat about ELLE's Fall A to Zee feature and their fondness for Joe Zee. Rachel shows Olivia a few of her rings and necklaces and talks up their low price point. She asks Olivia how everything else at the magazine is going, and she says it has its ups and downs. Olivia says she is a believer in always helping people when they are new, but that isn't always the case in her life. Rachel reassures her that she can't make everyone happy, and Olivia should stay the refined, elegant, and the sweet person she knows.

At Bergdorf Goodman, Whitney waits for Samantha's boss, Sunni. She says she'll look at the sketches to get a feel for Whitney's overall design aesthetic. Sunni criticizes one of the dresses, but says she can see the designer in Whitney. She explains that photos are very helpful and Whitney still has a lot of work to do. Still, she sees many people who want to be designers, and Whitney's potential is really great. Sunni excuses herself and wishes Whitney good luck.

Back at People's Revolution, Whitney approaches a disappointed Kelly, who has received a phone call about Whitney's meeting at Bergdorf's. Whitney says she wasn't doing anything behind Kelly's back and explains Roxy's idea to show the sketches to Sunni. She thought she had nothing to lose in showing the sketches, but Kelly replies that her reputation is at stake, as no one in their right mind would go to Bergdorf Goodman with only a drawing.

Kelly asks how the meeting went, and Whitney says Sunni told her the same things as Kelly. Kelly says she told Whitney not to show the sketches because she loves and believes in her, but if she wants to listen to Roxy, don't do it with her relationships on her time. She says Whitney has paid her dues and is about to move up, while Roxy has just started in New York. Kelly doesn't think Roxy always has Whitney's best interests in mind, and when it comes to her career, maybe she shouldn't listen to anything Roxy has to say.

At ELLE, Joe and Erin talk about the latest progress on Fall A to Zee. Erin says Olivia wasn't taking notes while they looked at accessories, and if she comes in with nothing, it's going to be a major problem. Olivia arrives with photos of a variety of accessories from different designers. Olivia tells Joe and Erin about the tribal trend she noticed, and shows necklaces and bags at the right price points. Erin discounts a belt, which was far from their price point, but Joe says it is ok to have a couple expensive items, especially when the accessory is so unique. Joe tells Olivia he thinks the pieces she selected will photograph well and is very impressed with her work.

City Poll: Is Olivia Getting The Job Done?

Erin Kaplan may not realize it, but this week on The City, Olivia Palermo stepped out of her comfort zone. Not only did she hop the subway down to Canal Street but she also haggled over faux-designer bags and resisted the urge to whip out the hand sanitizer the moment her skin came in contact with that sad, Valentino knockoff.

But for some reason, Erin seemed to think Oliva dropped the ball instead, because she told Joe Zee a line about how Olivia forgot the sunglasses, watches and jewelry, totally botching the assignment! Sure, Olivia may have come up a bit short, but couldn't she have cut her some slack?

On the other hand, Erin isn't exactly putting the weight of the world on Olivia's shoulders. She hasn't asked her to work overtime, skip lunch or cure cancer, just to do her job, and come back with multiple options (as in accessorIES, plural) that don't all scream "Olivia Palermo!"

You tell us: Is Olivia getting the job done?
	Yes. She just needs to work on her people skills.
	No. Talking back to your boss is never okay. Especially on Week One!

Olivia Palermo Drops By PIX11

Taking care of some promotional duties, Olivia Palermo was spotted arriving at the PIX11 studios in New York City this morning (October 6).

The City babe was in the house to give an interview on the PIX11 Morning News Show, gearing up for the big season premiere of her hit MTV reality show.

In a recent interview, Olivia’s well-known rival Whitney Port told press it is much different dealing with Palermo than it was with Lauren Conrad back in her days on The Hills.

Whitney explained, “It was so different with Lauren. We always had each
other’s back. There was definitely a sense of loyalty. With Olivia there’s more competition. I had to constantly watch my back. It wasn’t easy that’s for sure.”

Socialite Olivia Palermo stopped by the PIX11 studio to talk about the new season of the MTV reality show The City.

"Not long after she got a promotion at Diane von Furstenberg, she connected with her old friend Joe Zee to score a job at ELLE Magazine in the accessories department. Olivia was thrilled to leverage her social status and relationships for the position, but nothing could have prepared her for ELLE's Director of PR, Erin Kaplan.

"She's got Joe Zee's vote of confidence, but under Erin's whip-smart, discerning eye, Olivia will have to prove that her verve for fashion goes deeper than loving to shop," says MTV. The season will follow her journey throught the cut-throat environment of ELLE.
