Synopsis: In TLC's "Going
Hollywood", an eight- part series slated to premiere this fall, young
entertainment industry hopefuls are thrown into the show business fire
as each is chosen for a high- profile Hollywood internship with some of
entertainment's biggest stars. But before they live the high life, they
have to start at the bottom. The respective companies of Academy Award-winning
actor Kevin Spacey, legendary producer Robert Evans and hip-hop star/actor
Method Man will host these young interns in "Going Hollywood".
In each hour-long episode, "Going Hollywood" shows what it takes
to break into the business. Through our interns, the series delves into
the day-to-day business of being an A-list celebrity in Los Angeles --
not just the red carpets, the parties, the interviews and the movies,
but what it takes to be successful in film, television, music and online.
Each intern will work for his/her mentor's companies, including The Robert
Evans Company (Robert Evans), TriggerStreet.com/Trigger Street Productions
(Kevin Spacey) and Method Man Enterprises (Method Man).
"The Hollywood featured in "Going Hollywood" is a place few
have seen, and is a refreshing take on what we all believe constitutes
'celebrity,'" said David Abraham, executive vice president and general
manager, TLC. "Beyond the glamorous premieres and jet-set travel is a
world where grit, ambition and, above all, hard work, are the stuff that
dreams are made of. TLC will bring viewers that world, where success comes
only at the price of sweat."
Followed every waking hour, seven days a week, the "Going Hollywood"
interns are under the microscope of Hollywood's top power brokers. They
struggle with the stressful demands of their new jobs and their new city
in one of the most competitive professions in the world, all the while
dealing with the high drama and personality conflicts inherent in living
with other people. The whims of Hollywood can be demanding, fickle, outlandish,
lavish and unpredictable ... will these interns be up to it?
From the sublime to the ridiculous, the tearful to the hilarious, these
ambitious amateurs will endure it all. Their journey through the Hollywood
high life will balance out with the reality of an intern's life -- a box-sized
apartment that they will all share. Will they have what it takes to survive
the cutthroat world of show business? Three interns are "Going Hollywood"
... but how many will be staying? (Courtesy TLC, 2005)
