Legally Blonde show - fake like The Hills!

In the promo clip (above) for the MTV reality competition show Legally Blonde: Search For the New Elle Woods, host Haylie Duff proclaims, "None of you (contestants) have ever been on Broadway and at the end of this competition one of you will be starring on Broadway."

However, a Perezcious reader has pointed out to us that two of the contestants HAVE appeared on Broadway!

In fact, the two gals — Emma and Celina — mention their Broadway creds in their bios that appear on MTV's Legally Blonde website.

Looks to us like MTV needs to watch its accuracy!

      Um, why would the first girl include that she "runs with the elite of NYC" in her bio. Whore.

      Yes you are right they have been on broadway. I auditioned for this show and all the girls who had agents and have been on broadway in the past got to audition first with appoinments. All the rest of us had to wait outside in the rain until the doors opened and then about 10 hours later we auditioned.

      ok….where the hell did haylie duff come from? i know shes been riding little duffs coat tails but come on now. shes not even all that pretty.

      eeep. but i guess hosting a ripoff MTV show with no future isnt the best accomplishment. KUDOS for trying haylie. maybe you should put out a sex tape with bob saget. thatll get you some attention : D

      Haylie Duff also says that she "starred" on Broadway…

      um…she played a minor role in "Hairspray" for only a few months…

    23. Zach says – reply to this


      23

      Yes, Emma is the daughter of 4-time Tony award winning director Jerry Zaks. She also appeared on Broadway in La Cage aux Folls, which was choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, director and choreographer of Legally Blonde.

      Most likely a plant.

      I've watched some of the promos and I'm sure that at least on some of them Haylie says "None of you have STARRED on Broadway…"

      CASSIE S isn't innocent either, she was in the Hairspray movie, she played Brenda the pregnant council girl

    27. jenna says – reply to this


      27

      maybe you should read the bios… emmas said she was the understudy, so maybe she never preformed and celines said she was part of the travelling cast of cats, not on broadway.. do your research..

    28. Anna says – reply to this


      28

      Re: jenna – She's still a member of Actor's Equity, then.

      Legally Blonde will be dead as a doornail once the last remaining original cast members leave, and as far as I'm concerned, only worth going to if you have trainwreck syndrome.

      Well now wonder it's all fake….do you honestly think MTV could round up enough girls SMART ENOUGH to actually make it to law school but DUMB ENOUGH to want to be on a crappy reality show??!!

      This is insane! Perez, maybe YOU should research what you say befor you say it, not MTV. My sister's best friend is Autumn and she truely is just a regular person. This is NOTHING like the aceouted manner of the Hills. The show is absolutley legit. Don't say something that's untrue until you think about it. You are insane. The show is real.

    33. hkjh says – reply to this


      33

      the show is pathetic… celina was on bway in 42nd street, and tarzan as well…emma is jerry zaks daughter and was an understudy in la cage.. they said they were only accepting non union talent, but they are ALL in the union..

      pathetic

      Dude, get over it. That doesn't mean it is "fake." It's just another outlet for actors to try and get ahead in that business. Let them be!

    42. karen says – reply to this


      42

      MAYBE the only ones who make it to the end where she says that are the ones who haven't been on Broadway? That would make her statement true.. I guess we'll have to watch and see!

    43. lex says – reply to this


      43

      you can tell who gets voted off this show before they even tell you… they interview the girls before the people call their names and if the background is in the dressing room they made it, if they get sent home they are interviewed in normal clothes and in a normal "house-like" setting…

      what Patric said — Celina is in the SATC movie too.

      hi katy, Emma did not write that she runs with the "elite of nyc" someone from mtv wrote it.

      49

      The show is terrible…however, they say that none of them have "starred" on broadway. Emma was an understudy in La Cage…not the star. And Haylie Duff is the WORST choice to give the show credibility. She played Penny in Hairspray for like a hot second. And she got shitty reviews. WEAK!

      Oh please, Perez. Don't sit there in your tacky Hot Topic shirt editing MTV now. If I had time to correct the mistakes you put on your posts then I would just start my own site, but I don't have the time.

      NOW you're so attentive to accuracy, what about when you're quoting the Globe or the Enquirer? What about accuracy then?

      Your Web site is a disgrace to journalism.

      51

      yeah and the girl Colleen played one of the corny collins council member in the new movie "HAIRSPRAY" as "Brenda", so these girls have had some background experience, but i would still watch it, lol.

    52. nessa says – reply to this


      52

      IT IS FAKE PEOPLE! Most of the girls were brought in. The girl who ends up winning will be one of the girls that the LB people brought in. Sad but true.

      53

      Celina is Celina Carvajal, and a quick search on IBDB.com will yield you her four Broadway credits (thus far…). She's really…um…"kooky". And I totally don't see her as Elle, but whatever.

      And MTV, very slick…"None of you have ever STARRED on Broadway". Meh.

      "LEGENDARY" BROADWAY DIRECTOR, JERRY MITCHELL??! LET'S LEAVE "LEGENDARY" FOR MICHAEL BENNETT, JEROME ROBBINS AND BOB FOSSE. NOT FOR THE DIRECTOR OF "LEGALLY BLONDE" AND THE CHOREOGRAPHER OF ' DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS"

      56

      these girls are almost as annoying as haylie duff. she is so ugly but i must say it looks like she may have had work done because she looks better than i remember. she should get a nose job. look what it did for ashlee simpson. i am sure she is only famous because of hilary.

      57

      Yuck.. Haylie Duff is the fugliest skank I've ever seen.. Her jawline is hideous and her mouth and nose make be sick. She really did get the short end of the stick.. Even her pumpkin headed sister is way prettier than her.
      She couldn't market sex appeal, if it hit her on the ass..BTW, that dress makes her look like an old prego slut, with her boobs going in opposite directions.
      NO TALENT HAG!!!

      true true Celina says in her broadway.com interview that she was in the broadway prodcuctions of Tarzan, 42nd Street, Cats, and Dracula and Emma was in Le Cage with Jerry Mitchell… AND PAULLL and Celina has worked with him too,and tghenthere is Cassie S in the movie hairspray, and natalie in hte movie material girls WITH haylie duff. ive been researchig. VERY FISHy it seems th only girls who are really experiencin the 'chnce of a lifetime' are airhead rhiannin and fresh out of highshool lauren…

      This show is such a scam. I was on the first episode where they made us think we had a chance. Meanwhile, they already had the girls picked. They had them stay in a hotel the night before where they got blood tests and psych tests and were not allowed to talk about the show or leave without an escort. When we were being eliminated, we already knew it was coming. Thats why no one looks very sad.. in fact, we were laughing!!!

      Dude, they said "STARRING" on Broadway. None of them have ever STARRED on Broadway and that is the truth. You work on your accuracy, Perez.

      You guys need to listen carefully the duff chick said the girls never starred on broadway……NEVER STARRED IN BROADWAY……n Emma nor any other girl is not a plant…..lmao that is so stupid…its a fuking audition….get over your self fat ass Perez, get a real job and other haters.

      Hey Everyone! Thanks for talking about me so much! You'd actually think I was important!
      Why don't I clarify so that we can all go back to doing useful things!
      1. Haylie/mtv did make a mistake, she did say that none of us had ever been on broadway, which as we all know, is incorrect.
      2. I wasn't 'planted' on the show; a week before the auditions my agents dropped me and so, like everyone else, I waited outside in the snow (it wasn't rain whoever said that), for an hour and forty-five minutes and then for five more hours once inside.
      3. Some girls did have agent appointments and did skip us but that's the way the business works- suck it up.
      4. I didn't write my bio, or I never would have written something as ridiculous as "I run with the elite of nyc blah blah blah".
      thanks!

      more than that have been on broadway- and most, if not all, of them at least have their Equity cards.
