Brody Jenner has a new reality show that premiered last night at 9 on MTV called “Bromance” in which a bunch of guys live in a house and compete for Brody’s affection. Based on the trailer, which features a lot of shirtless guys, therapy circles, drinking, and crying, it looks like a cross between “The Bachelor” and “My New BFF” but featuring guys with waxed eyebrows.
Now Brody has posted a video entitled “Bromance Too Bromantic? Nah!” on his blog to promote the show. In it, he answers two questions: “what is your response to people saying Bromance is homoerotic” (to which he replies that he likes it when people think he’s gay); and “do you think the gay contestant on your show was into you?” (to which he sounds like the jilted lover because the contestant liked Lauren Conrad better). Check out the video below:

This sounds like a “thou doth protest too much” situation to me. On the other hand, he openly admits in the video that the homoeroticism of the show (in the jaccuzzi no less!) generates hype, and if there is one thing that “The Hills” crowd is good at, it’s publicity. First “The Hills” evolved out of “Laguna Beach,” now Whitney leaves for New York, creating “The City,” and Spencer’s fall from Brody’s inner circle is the premise of “Bromance.” All the group drama creates new shows, which generate more drama that’s turned into new shows.
The biggest problem I have with this video is the fun that he’s having making up variations on the words “bro” and “romance.” Besides the obvious “bromance,” he has now created “bromantic” and “bromantcism.” Let’s just hope that these don’t get added to Webster’s any time soon.

I actually watched this thing last night. Actually someone else watched and I was in the room playing computer games. It reminded me of some of the scenes from “Knocked Up” where all the guys were together in a room being gross manly men. Stupid. Who are these people and why do they get their own TV shows? Brody’s big claim to fame is his dad, who is now tarnished forever in my eyes by who he married and who he’s stepfather to. What happened to talent?

Regarding Bruce Jenner….what ever happened to him?
He went from being a healthy, good looking, seemingly normal guy to some kind of extraterrestrial-looking life form with an depressingly bad facelift/nose job .
And the nose job was so unneccesary.

Tess, I KNOW!!! He was such a heartthrob when he was in the Olympics and now he looks like something someone whittled out of a piece of soap. Someone who’s not real good at whittling.

Why does our society continually reward talentless douchebags for no apparent reason? Why?

@ AJ- THAT is an excellent question. One I would like to know the answer to myself. Was it Barnum who said that nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public?
now I have to confess to loving the shit out of Rock Of Love Charm School. I need help. WOn’t anyone HELP me???
ALSO: guys who wax anything are douchebags. Period. If they have eyebrows that grow together it is acceptable to shave ‘em up the middle, but THAT’S ALL.

I saw Bruce Jenner on a website once that was dedicated to men who looked like butch lesbians. I can’t remember the exact URL but they were right.

Bruce Jenner HAS ALWAYS HAD THAT NOSE JOB since he’s been in the public eye, even the Olympics. It just didn’t ‘AGE’ well.
Like Zsa Zsa Gabors.
