Page Six reported that MTV wanted Whitney Port and Olivia Palermo to get into a physical hair-pulling fight for an episode of The City.
From the article:
"MTV wanted the girls to get into a physical fight at the DVF office," said our source. "Olivia was very disturbed by the request . . . The girls were both really uncomfortable...Even though people think their jobs at DVF aren't real, both girls are really excited to be working in the fashion world, and wouldn't want to be seen getting into a fight in a professional setting...MTV responded to the protests by turning the 'fight' scene into an altercation at work, in which Olivia gets upset at Whitney's boyfriend Jay [Lyon] for showing up to a fund-raiser underdressed...Olivia could care less about what Jay is wearing."
The girls learned properly in school to Just Say No! Really? A hair-pulling fight? Come on! They're in New York working in the fashion world, they're not on the Bad Girls Club having a "strip-off" at Bob's Classy Ladies for $1000. I know the show is produced, but are the ratings suffering that bad that they need a fight? I couldn't even see Heidi and Lauren getting into a fight at the height of their drama and they want sweet Whitney to pull hair? I'm glad the girls put their foot down and kept what class they have left.

my sentiments, precisely, Nads.
IN other news -- re the Christian Bale on set meltdown -- you can source an audio clip on youtube (I'd post it if I could....) and it all sounds pretty justified to me.
I mean, realising you are working on a piece of dreck that's being directed by a tool like McG and no escape - I think under these circs I'd lose it, too!
TEAM BALE!!!!

I heard it today. I honestly think Bale just broke -- and for good reason. Plus, it's an ancient audio clip -- why is being leaked now? WHY?

I know, I bet you McG or the DP had something to do with it. Such a shame.
