Talk about juicy. The ex-wives of Eddie Murphy, Prince, Will Smith, Jose Canseco and R. Kelly are all about to be in one room. On one show. Producers at VH1 are making that vision a "reality" with their upcoming series "Hollywood Exes." Get the deets inside....
With perhaps one of the best reality show concepts heard thus far, VH1 is going to put the ex-wives of some of the world's biggest stars together for a reality as only they can. It's been rumored this was happeneing....and now it is.
The working titles of the series is "HOLLYWOOD EXES" and will star Nicole Murphy (ex wife of Eddie Murphy – 13 years), Jessica Canseco (ex wife of Jose Canseco - 4 years), Sheree Fletcher (ex wife of Will Smith – 3 years), Mayte Garcia (ex wife of Prince – 3 years), and Andrea Kelly (ex wife of R. Kelly – 12 years). The network expects the show to premiere in the summer of 2012 with 10 one-hour episodes.
The show is described this way:
Hollywood ex-wives are part of an exclusive sorority whose members' lives seem to mirror that of a modern day Cinderella fairytale. But all the fame and fortune of marrying a celebrity may seem fun and glamorous at first, but it often comes with a price tag. Living in the shadow of your very famous husband can take its toll on your psyche when you feel second to his career.
These five women, who have all been friends for years and in some cases for as long as 20 years, want to show the world they are more than just a trophy wife with a pretty face. They want to establish themselves as independent, successful women and bring relevance and honor to themselves separate from their very famous exes...even if there is a little drama along the way.
"These extraordinarily strong women adjusted to and endured a lot while their ex-spouses won fame and fortune defining pop culture for that moment," said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Original Programming & Production, VH1. "Now these women must re-invent themselves again, stepping out of the long shadows cast by their famous husbands and supporting each other as they define the next stage of their lives – this time on their own terms."
HOLLYWOOD EXES will be brought to you by the same folks behind "Basketball Wives" so......
