burned down, she just got fired from her job at a tabloid magazine and she
accidentally dyed her hair the colour of a Blow Pop! Things start to look up
when she is offered a position in Palm Beach, working for cosmetics mogul
Laurel Limoges (Anne Archer - Fatal Attraction) tutoring her 16-year-old twin
billionaires, Rose (Lucy Kate Hale, "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2") and
Sage Baker (Ashley Newborough, "The Best Years", "Rent-A-Goalie"). In exchange
for getting the girls into Duke University, Megan will get to live amongst the
rich and fabulous, and have the remainder of her college loans covered! But
moving to Florida means moving back home, which means facing a sister she
hasn't spoken to in years, and a childhood best friend, Charlie (Michael
Cassidy, "Smallville", "The O.C."), who may be secretly in love with her. From
Rina Mimoun ("Pushing Daisies", "Gilmore Girls"), "Privileged" is based on the
book How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls by Zoey Dean. It's drama done Palm Beach

her quest for love, Tiffany "New York" Pollard is ready to tackle her next big
goal: An A-list Acting Career! It's no doubt that New York is already a super
star - the country fell in love with the screaming, binge eating, emotionally
unstable harpy during her four hit reality shows. Now, in ten half-hour
episodes, New York will take her fame to a new level in her pursuit to become
a serious, respectable A-List actress. New York must put her fiancé, Tailor
Made, on the backburner and take a shot at Hollywood. She leaves her man and
her mom behind and makes the move out west seeking fortune and (more) fame.
Failure is not an option and she will do whatever it takes to make it. The
laughs start here, when "New York Goes to Hollywood" premieres Tuesday,
September 9th on Citytv.
