FROM THE NY POST (6/11/09):
A SHOW WITH PARIS HILTON, SIMON REX, JAMIE PRESLEY & LANCE BASS -- YES PLEASE
by Ryan Brockington
A TV pilot called "Rex" was posted today, and Showtime better buy it or I'm gonna kidnap someones dog as ransom (Paris, I'm talkin' to you).
The show, created by Guy Shalem who created (and directed some episodes of) Lifetime's "Lovespring International," centers around Simon Rex and his search to get back in the limelight. The brilliance of the show lives within the co-stars of the cast, and get this, Paris Hilton (as his fake girlfriend) is the best actor of all. Most people would argue that she may just be playing herself, but her comedic timing and delivery makes me want to take back every sassy quip I ever said about her.
The cast list, including a gut-splitting Jamie Presley and Brian Huskey, sounds like some sort of underground Hollywood fight club. Also on board is "Alias'" Victor Garber and Jill Talley, playing Rex's brilliant parents, and the streets of Los Angeles, which make up the sets the stories come to life on. This show is just another reason why reality TV is NOT the only option.
I think the moment I knew this thing wasn't a gumball of bull crap was when Lance "Not Gay" Bass (I promise that will make sense when you watch) joined the bunch and I still wanted to watch. No offense, LB, but I was sure you would take me out of it and you didn't -- major props. When he and Simon share some strange Cyrano de Bergerac setup, I just about lost my Triscuits.
Give the full 23-minute pilot a watch after the jump, and then call Showtime and tell them to get on the ball!

Rex Rocks!
First of all, A+++++! M. Schulman (above) has an excellent point about both shows, but that's where the comparison ends. I love the frenetic feel to the piece and your cast is amazing. This could be the wonderful breakthrough that brilliantly blurs the line between wholly scripted "insider" comedies & so-called "reality" television! I realize this had to be a quick standard demo of sorts, but there were times when it was so jumpy (cuts, scene, dialogue) & rapid-fire insider my concern is whether-in this exact form- mainstream "Amurrica" could follow, or "get" it all. And they MUST! ;-) Obviously I am unknown to you, and hey, that's worked pretty well for U so far... but I've some more thoughts I'd love to share with you elsewhere (than this shamelessly long diatribe) if you'd like to hear them.
This could be huge, and I wish you all the best!!!
It's a very smart show that hollywood insiders, the ohh so hip gay crowd or people on the coast would "get", and everyone one knows where they lead most of the time the rest of the country will catch on and follow.
The cast is great Simon Rex, Loved Paris Hilton, Lance Bass and the Jamie Pressley and the "PR" guy, the whole cast was great.
I will be passing this on to my friends on facebook.
Good luck and I hope to see you guys this fall.
all the best!
