Did someone say "dream gig"? MTV and Rolling Stone announced yesterday that they are sticking to what they know and joining another bandwagon. This one however, doesn't involve slutty moms or bratty 16-year-olds. It's a reality show in which the cameras follow aspiring journalists as they compete for a one-year staff position with the magazine. According to the press release, the competitors will "cover a wide array of writing assignments -- including artist and entertainment profiles, national affairs, politics and pop culture. While facing tight deadlines, each candidate will work with the magazine's top editors to hone their writing skills and score interviews with major musicians, actors and politicians."

OK, maybe that's not so dreamy after all. I just know that I will not be able to stand watching this show because I'll be so pissed that pretty drama queens and frat daddies are getting to meet such cool people.
