The City Archives

The City star Erin Lucas reportedly had a falling out with costar Whitney Port and is therefore leaving the reality series after just one season.

Her rep tells Us Weekly: “It never hurts to try something new, but when you’re born to do something, chances are you’re going to wind up doing it no matter where you detour. The latest proof comes from Erin Lucas, who loved her hosting career and never meant to stray … until The City beckoned. Nice while it — and her friendship with Whitney Port — lasted. But it was hosting she loved, and it is to hosting she returns, blowing kisses to all as she departs the series for her hosting home turf.”

FYI: Erin has already shot some scenes for the second season but will no longer be on the show.

If you watch the The City, as you should, the spoof video below from Newsweek will be HILARIOUS.

In episode 1 of The District, Imas Crosson does a spot-on impression of President Barack Obama. The vid even gets the vacant stares down perfectly between Barack and Tim Geithner, The United States Secretary of the Treasury.

The District makes use of The City theme song — The Pussycat Dolls‘ On “Top of the World”! Newsweek also spoofs the network MTV, by appropriately calling themselves NTV.

New episode of The District on Monday? Can’t wait!

The City star Jay Lyon, aka Whitney Port’s boyfriend, and pal Nicolas “Pottsy” Potts make up the Aussie band Tamarama.

Tamarama recently released the music video to their first single “Everything to Me”. It features Jay’s ex-girlfriend Miranda Kerr, who is currently dating Orlando Bloom.

The band’s debut EP, Wonderland City, has a relaxed, beachy sound, which is categorized as “American west coast folk-rock.” For more info, visit the band’s official website at TamaramaMusic.com.

ARE YOU EXCITED for the second season of The City — YAY or NAY?

The City star Whitney Port totes around her Longchamp Le Pliage “Floral Flights” bag as she strolls through LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Her spin-off series pulled in 1.6 million viewers for it’s Monday premiere. The 23-year-old reality star took to her blog to talk about her new show,

She writes, “So the episode introduced you guys to a lot of new people! First came Olivia [Palermo], who I met on my first day at Diane Von Furstenberg. I was already so nervous for my first day there, and it became even worse when I met her because she seemed so experienced! Olivia taught me what a socialite really is — I mean I sort of knew the parameters of what it takes to be a “social” considering I have grown up in Hollywood, but I found it so interesting that you can be completely self-made in the cutthroat environment that is New York City!”
