For a while now, Stacy Keibler has been trying to get a reality show gig. Not that she wants to compete on a reality show or anything at this point, but she really wanted to be the host or a judge of something. I kept hearing suspicious rumors that Simon Cowell was looking at Stacy to replace Steve Jones as host/presenter on The X Factor. But I guess that fell through… maybe Stacy got her hopes up much, much too high with that one. I mean, hosting a weekly show in which Britney Spears is a judge? We’re looking for something more, right? Still, I kind of think Stacy might have sold herself too short on this one. It’s just been announced that Stacy is the new hostess of a Lifetime reality show called Supermarket Superstars. It sounds like… a weird concept.
Just as photos are popping up of Stacy Keibler enjoying some down time with sweetie George Clooney in Italy, Lifetime has announced she’ll soon be hosting a new show for the channel.
Keibler will preside over a new reality-competition series called Supermarket Superstars, in which aspiring food product inventors pitch their concepts to a panel of experts for a chance to have their creation launched nationally in a major grocery chain.
Produced by The Weinstein Co. (Project Runway) and Studio Lambert (Undercover Boss), Supermarket Superstars will feature contestants pitching their creations to three mentors. (Shades of ABC’s Shark Tank?)The mentors critique each idea, prompting the creator to further develop and refine the product before presenting the final concept to a supermarket buyer.
The winner of each episode will be rewarded with an investment in their product and a chance to return in the season finale, where one person’s brilliant idea will win the opportunity to be put into stores nationwide.
Lifetime has ordered 10 episodes of Supermarket Superstars.
I’m guessing Lifetime is aiming to get the “foodie” demographic (also known as the “Top Chef demo”), only it doesn’t even sound like we’re really going to be watching people MAKE the food/product that they’re pitching. Or are we? The Weinstein Company’s reality show baby is Project Runway, which switched over from Bravo to Lifetime after season 5. So, Harvey does have a relationship with Lifetime already, and you can bet that Lifetime is going to do an adequate push for their new show. At least now we know what Stacy has been wearing some of the tackiest Marchesa dresses this whole time – she was trying to get in with Georgina Chapman, Harvey’s wife. I like and admire Stacy’s hustle, and maybe I’m completely underestimating how much people want to see supermarkets bid on food ideas, but I still kind of think this whole thing sounds like a loser for Stacy. I’m a horrible judge of what reality shows are going to work, though. I thought The Voice sounded SO dumb.

Why do these idiots think a reality show will be the pinnacle of their careers? For every viral Kartrashian or singing show (again, DAMN YOU Ryan Seacrest!), there are many more failures than successes.

This is actually a good fit for her. She is very into fitness and nutrition, so this pairing is not bad.
Compare this to (God bless her, I love her, I do) but Cameron Diaz doing an advice book for teens. Really? No. Poor role model in terms of lifestyle.

I think she’d be better suited to host that spike tv reality show where they search for the next big MMA fighter. There also used to be a show called “search for the next WWE superstar.” Those would be perfect, considering how she got her start.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Yeah, it’s a good pairing, but I’m of the “been there done that” philosophy. Move forward away from what you’ve done in the past to something new. Of course I don’t know her, but she seems like the type to like new challenges.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
wow. how apropos. but she seems to be trying to distance herself from her past, so maybe by doing the supermarket show she hopes to associate herself with the humble housewife and not the questionably moral human sleaze fest that is the wwe? if i were she, i would work on my fake smile. it’s easy to smile naturally..just find things that make you laugh, like your snowball’s chance in hell to legitimize yourself in the non-”escort” world. oh, if only the giant head correlated to a giant brain…i.e. intelligence, but alas, no.

Eh, I kind of like the girl. At least she’s not deluded into thinking she will be George’s girlfriend for the rest of her life. She’s got some hustle, and she will take what work is given to her. And she’s not complaining its beneath her, like so many actors/actresses do. Good for her.

exactly! good for her.

I totally agree. She’s not trying to be an “actress” or sitting back and hoping he’ll marry her-I have to give her credit for being a realist and trying to strike while the iron is hot.

I agree. I figure she will be made fun of for this but she would be tore apart fOr being a gold digger if she didn’t work. And if she did get a better job people would be screaming about George getting it for her and how she didn’t deserve it.
So I say good for her! She’s got a job a nice boyfriend, a great body and she seems harmless enough. Could use a new stylist though.
I’m gonna admit if I had a rich boyfriend that wanted to support me I would totally let him. I guess that’s my inner gold digger speaking. I don’t give a crap about working. I work because I have to…since I married poor and all.

Did you ever hear her on interviews, she has a very annoying voice. Is this a return favor from Harvey Weinstein to George. Do you remember when Elizabeth Canalis was cast in Leverage for a few guest spots apparently George knew the producers there also.

I like Leverage. Elizabeth was terrible in that show and, to make matters worse, they brought her back for a second appearance. Her accent was so thick, I couldn’t understand one thing she said.

She probably has a Baltimore accent-which is horrendous. (I lived there for years-it’s kind of nasally and like nails on chalkboard.)

@Cody this reminds me of The Leverage gig too. Funny that EC didn’t last too long after that maybe Clooney doesn’t need her for award season (Gravity was delayed a year) and he’s giving her a goodbye present.

Wow her career is really taking off. She went from WWE to DWTS to some guest spots on Chuck to small parts in Hallmark movies to dating George Clooney to hosting a reality game show on the Lifetime channel. I guess Harvey Weinstein sees a lot of talent in her and star power for his show. Will she still be promoting bagel chips?

Ohhh that is why she has been on overkill with the designer wear this summer in Lake Como. She was auditioning for a hostess job on TV. When Stacy was photographed this summer, everybody she was photographed with, was casually dressed, except for her, she always had the hair and makeup just right, the fake smile and the designer clothes for each occasion. The whole thing was carefully planned this summer.I think George and Stacy have sunk to a new low.

Harvey Weinstein also is the producer of Project Runway, so I guess Stacy is seeing herself as the next Heidi Klum?

I told y’all Stacy’s got game. She knows she won’t be George’s girlfriend forever and she’s using her time with him very wisely. I read somewhere that she was given a large amount of money to show up at an event on George’s behalf. She has not only made money, she also made connections and she will still be enjoying the fruit of her hustle even long after George dumps her.. I Ð✽̶ñ†̥ care much about Stacy but I admire her hustle…

Sorry @Kaiser your whole article sound lame and stupid this is a good work made by a good channel , good idea , good producers and it’s not a lose at all, many people ‘d want to set and watch it and with GC’s GF i think more people will like it it’s great work , i didn’t take SimonC X Factor as a win i don’t really think presenter for this shows have a big role only judges and singers are the stars for this kind of shows .i don’t think you are right !

O.K. so maybe the acting gig didn’t quite work out as planned so she’s onto plan B.Personally I wish her nothing but the best with it.You just might never know what tickles an audiences fancy and Stacy just might find or have moderate success with this show.Even if it does fail I certainly don’t blame her for giving it a try.

Why this fameho should get even pretty cheesy jobs that there are people far more qualified for and then be celebrated for it is beyond me.
Stacy Keibler represents everything that is wrong with our society and she is fugly, stupid and has no personality to even mildly mitigate her offensive famewhorishness. Contrast that with the Olympians and how hard those individuals have WORKED to EARN what they have accomplished and then Stacy gets YAYS too. For what? Famewhoring her way to something?
And her ‘boyfriend’ George Clooney deserves just as little respect for promoting rent-a-whores like Keibler and then trying to make them look like they are something more than just hos by networking with his contacts like Weinstein. The whole thing is a gross sleazefest when there are plenty of people in this world who actually still honestly work hard to earn what they accomplish in life.

Calling her a ho is a little bit harsch, isn’t it? Yes, she doesn’t have the career he has, not his fortune and fame, but she seems to be a decent person as far as I know. Never liked the way people trash women by calling them ho’s, for all we know they might actually be in love. I think that at least she is in love with him (he is only in love with himself, always has been and always will be).

As far as I know, decent persons do not pose in sleazy underwear or do a table dance shaking their naked butts for the cameras.
And how could she love a man who does not love her back and be together with him, is she a masochist?
Plus that stupid grin all the time, it is all part of her happy hooker show:
Look at me, I’m with George Clooney and I can wear fancy dresses now, because I’m so beautiful and so special!

Yes, as far as I know, pretty decent people like Stacy Keibler always spend years in the WWE denigrating themselves and devaluing all women — essentially doing a perverted version of porn that also highly encourages violence against women.
In fact, as far as I know, a career really does not get much more feminist love-worthy than that. *EYEROLL*

News Flash: George Clooney always dumps them just after “meeting the parents” its his way of adding to his sociopathic and abusive behaviour. If we all recall: “Hollywood star George Clooney would have made an ‘ideal son in law’, the father of his dumped girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis has said in an interview breaking his silence on the split.

It is clear that despite his extensive charity work, George Clooney has ZERO respect for women. He’s a closet misogynist along with the rumours he’s gay. He is a textbook case from a Psychology 101 class. He obviously has a socipathic need to degrade and humilate women as he as with ALL of his exs. He is classic womanizer. He’s either gay or misogynist or both. But, clearly he’s a messed up person. He needs help and he needs for people to challenge his facade!

OK….I’m kind of ranting her but what the heck…Here I go: Well her parents are obviously happy with their daughter’s life and choices, or why else would they show up and meet him. They pimped her out long ago. I feel sorry for her. She’s being used and she is a laughing stock. The golden dress for the Oscars. Please! He has no respect for women in any way. He seems to get a pathological high when he dumps them. If you look at Elisabetta Canalis’ behaviour after she was dumped you can see the obvious-she was acting like a washed up heroin addict. She was messed up! He chooses weak and weak-willed women to make himself seem stronger and more macho. If I was his mother, I would be deeply ashamed of him. Gone are the days when men can behave this way and be expected to be seen as healthy emotionally. George Clooney is a fraud. I cannot imagine what his first wife did to him to make him into this shell of a person. He must have been hurt very badly. One thing for sure there has to be a deep dark underlying reason to this behaviour. Maybe Dr. Drew should weigh in. At least Tiger Woods owned up to his behaviours! He showed personal growth and courage……George Clooney just walks away scot free each time and there’s always another bimbo to take the place of the one he dumps. It’s sad…..

BTW-I am being facetious when I wrote: “I wonder what his first wife did to him.” None of his behavious now is her fault. So, it’s either 1) or 2)1) He really is a Rock Hudson (as many say) But, if true wouldn’t he just come out- its 2012) OR 2) He’s a messed up sociopathic, misogynist, classically narcissistic, ego maniac. I think its 2). Yes, now I’m done!
