If you live in an apartment building in Los Angeles, chances are several of your neighbors work in entertainment. But if you watch shows like Melrose Place, then you would think that is not the case. Well The LA Complex changes all of that tonight on The CW at 9p because it is story of several people trying to make it this crazy world of Show Business.
Abby (Cassie Steele) is fresh off the plane from Canada and she is trying to make it as an actress/singer. After several failed auditions and no money coming in, she is forced to live in her car that is barely working. Feeling bad for her, her friend works out a deal so she can live the LA Complex for a few days.
Connor (Jonathan Patrick Moore) has just landed his first leading role on a TV show, but he has always been the leading man in The LA Complex. He is starting to learn that fame comes with a price.
Raquel (Jewel Staite) is former-child actress who can’t get any work as an adult. She tries her hardest to get gigs for her age, but she just can’t compete with the unknowns who look younger than her. She is The LA Complex’s most famous resident, but that doesn’t get her any work.
Alicia (Chelan Simmons) is trying to make it as a dancer, but just can’t get break it. Even though she isn’t working as a dancer during the day, she is working as one at night. And not the type of dancing she really wants to do. But that is all about to change when she meets someone at the club who will change everything for her and might be her way of The LA Complex.
Tariq (Benjamin Charles Watson) is working in the music business, but just not the way he wants. He has the potential to be a top-notched producer but his boss won’t give him a chance. Well he goes around his boss and sends a track to Drake. His boss finally see his potential, and hooks him up with Kaldrick (Andra Fuller) one of the biggest names in rap today. Only thing is both guys have a secret on the down low that will make things difficult for them. Will this partnership be his way out of The LA Complex or keep him there a little bit longer?
Finally there is Nick (Joe Dinicol) who wants to be a stand-up comedian, but his best paying job in a club is as a bartender. Not only is unlucky on the stage, he is also unlucky in love. He has a crush on Abby, but she has her eyes on another guy from The LA Complex.
These neighbors are going to try to make in Hollywood anyway they can, and that means they might do things they normally wouldn’t do. It is a real-life look into a fake world, and you are going to enjoy it so much you are going to wish that the hour never ends. It is everything you have ever wanted with a show that is about Tinsel Town and more. The LA Complex is so appealing it will make you want to move there, and never move out.
The LA Complex is by the same people who brought us Degrassi and Instant Star. We have all watched that show and related to what the characters went through because we went through it. But that was high school and The LA Complex is where we are at now. You will be relate to the situations that these characters go through because we have or know someone that has experienced the same thing. The LA Complex goes there and you will go there to watch it every Tuesday night on The CW at 9p.

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder have quietly been dating for a while and now that The Vampire Diaries is done filming for the season it appears they are taking their love public. Elena and Damon were caught kissing this weekend at Coachella and they look like they are as hot off screen as they are on camera.
Although I can’t help but think that Ian Somerhalder might be lost is in the kissing department.

Thomas Dekker was filming a scene for the enchanting Secret Circle when the paparazzi magically caught up with him. I like many people have been bewitched by Gale Harold for ages, but I think that Adam has worked his secret potion on me because with just one look he has won me over. Not that didn’t know that before this sexy picture, but man I am totally under his spell.
I can’t wait to see what he does tomorrow at 9p on The CW’s hot, I mean hit, new show The Secret Circle.
Tonight on Remodeled at 9p on The CW, we get to see what is one of the biggest scams in the modeling world…modeling schools. It should be common knowledge that you don’t pay to learn how to be a model, your agent should teach that to you for free if you can truly make it in the business.
Tonight when Paul Fisher and his staff go to one of the agencies in their Network, they find out the owner runs a modeling school there and they are flabbergasted. When I spoke to his VP Olga Tavarez and him recently they shared with me why it is so important to watch tonight’s show. Tavarez said, “We are so happy with that episode because it is going teach so many people across America what the school is. It is actually a scam. I think it will be a great educational thing for everyone to see.” And then Fisher added, “You can’t teach somebody to be 5’10â€. No matter how much we try. You can’t teach them.” And when you watch, you will see that several of those students are not even close to that height.
So I had to find out from him what it takes to be a model and what advice he has for someone who wants to be one. He let me in that secret, “The first thing you say when someone wants to be a model, ‘DON’T!’ Run from us. Do something else. But if you are 5’9†to 6’ tall as a girl or 6’1†to 6’3†as a boy, 15 to 19 starting as a girl. If you are that and there is something inside of you, driving you. The things other young people can look up to you and you can be a good role model, then maybe, just maybe you should think about it. Other than that. Run away from people like me.” Olga also let me know what she thinks it takes, “I think people take it a little too personally. It’s really a business about aesthetics and if you have what it takes. It is a lot kinder to tell someone, ‘You are not going to make it in this. It really is not a personal thing. Don’t do it. Don’t waste your time.’” She then added, “If they really have what it takes, anyone else who tells them otherwise or tries to steer them, again it is like a scam. It is unkind. People might interpret it as not a nice thing to say; ‘Oh you don’t have what it takes to be a model.’ Actually it is a really positive thing to know at the beginning instead of finding it out years later.” That is so true about so many things and especially for a profession that has such a short shelf life.
So what do they want the viewers to take from the show? This is what Fisher wants you learn from Remodeled, “So people can actually see the real world of modeling industry, so they can know, should I put my foot into that, should I not put my foot into that? So they are going to see the real world.” He concluded with, “I think it is very educational. It is going to be the first time that people can actually see what the real business is really all about. It’s not lights, camera, action. It’s hard and there are intense characters like me.”
So now you know what he wants you to learn from the show, what did he learn from his work on the Docu-series? Here is what he got from the lesson, “I learned that sometimes my communication skills suck. I learned that I cannot speak to each and every single person the same exact way.” I can tell you after talking with him, he seems to have learned his lesson because he is so much different than what you see on television. And I am learning from his show what it takes to be part of such a tough industry and it is even tougher than I thought.
Hart of Dixie is finally back on The CW tonight at 9p and having this show back on TV is as sweet as honey. Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) is told that she needs to find out more about her family and she discovers that she has an aunt. So she goes to visit her newest family member and learns that she is a Belle by blood. Now that the doctor knows that she is a Belle legacy, she can’t wait to tell her arch-enemy Lemon (Jamie King) the good news. Well Lemon takes it as sourly as her name and decides to haze the carpetbagger. The things she will make her do will make you love this sweet Southern show even more.
Tonight’s episode is not only about Zoe becoming a Belle, but it’s also about several of Bluebell’s residents learning more about what it takes to make a family.
So tune in for the most darling show on television and also to find out why I used the word honey to describe tonight’s episode.
BTW Rachel Bilson is as believable as a Southern Belle as she is a doctor and I would never say otherwise ever again. In case you don’t know why I am so afraid of her, here is a rap her costar Wilson Bethel wrote for her to answer all of those critics that gave her unhealthy reviews.
