Our readers in the UK can rejoice. There will be no reality show starring Liz Hurley trudging through the mud in her Wellies while she bends over to weed, her boobs hanging out of her t-shirt. The show has been scrapped due to Liz’s excessive demands. We reported two weeks ago that Hurley was pitching a Simple Life type reality show that would focus on her day-to-day life on her 400 acre Cotswolds farm. Liz said in a statement “I know that people always imagine me with perfect hair and stuck in high heels since I was a child, but that is not who I am, at least not all the time.” She is demanding, though, and the show won’t happen now that producers realize how much money it’s going to cost them. It was said to be a cooking show, not a reality show as we stated, but it hardly matters now:
The 43-year-old face of Estée Lauder had been in secret talks with Channel 4 about making a cookery-themed show based at her Gloucestershire farm.
But the station reportedly turned down the idea because she was too expensive.
A disgruntled insider tells me: ‘Elizabeth wanted far too much money.
According to some people she was also rather difficult to work with.’
Adds my mole: ‘The final straw came when she insisted anyone referring to her on-set as Liz would be asked to leave.’

Hurley has another career to fall back on, she’s launching her own line of organic packaged food that she’s producing on her estate. She actually said “One day, hopefully, they will be dominating the world.”
It looks like Hurley’s going to have to try a little harder to get publicity for her products. It’s a shame she wanted so much cash for that show when it would have been free advertising for her. If only her ego didn’t get in the way, she could have made more money in sales in the long run.

*And there was much rejoicing*

I’m sure the show was only ever to flog her food line in the first place. Nice reality check for this totally obnoxious woman.
-
I never understood quite why she had a career in the first place. Besides dating Hugh and wearing a ridiculous safty-pinned Versace dress once–why does she attract any attention?

I remember something years ago like an actors strike that Liz ignored & worked anyway. I remember it angered a lot of people in the industry. She thinks she is above the rules of society. She thinks she is royalty. She would be one of those annoying people at your job if she wasn’t famous.

“I actually live in the Cotswolds…” I’m very jealous.
What has Elizabeth Hurley done, ever? Nothing, that’s what. And as far as her “taking over the world” with her organic packaged foods, yeah, good luck with that.

I actually live in the Cotswolds (the beautiful town of Cheltenham) so I’m very glad this show isn’t going ahead. I really would hate to have camera crews following this silly woman around. Nobody cares, Liz! Lots of people in the Cotswolds live everyday normal lives, I really don’t see why yours is worth filming?
