The Rams’ move to Los Angeles made them an easy choice to be featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” this summer and it seems moving into a land dominated by the entertainment industry is going to be good for future forays into reality television as well.
Cable network E! will take a few hours off from sharing every nook and cranny of the Kardashians to the world so that they can bring six hourlong episodes of a new show called “Hollywood & Football” to the airwaves. The show will follow six members of the Rams and their families as they adjust to life in a new city after the team’s move from St. Louis.
“We are excited to take viewers inside the exclusive lifestyles of these top athletes and their families as they navigate a new city, new friendships, new schools and the inevitable Hollywood gossip,” E! executive vice president of programming and development Jeff Olde said, via Variety.com. “E! has a track record of success with pop culture programming centered in the world of sports, and this series will capture the off the field perspective of one of football’s most anticipated and high profile events as the Rams return to L.A.”
Wide receivers Kenny Britt and Bradley Marquez will be joined by tight end Lance Kendricks, guard Rodger Saffold, running back Chase Reynolds and fullback Cory Harkey on the program. Should this show and the HBO program do well, it may not be long before Jeff Fisher’s mustache takes its rightful place on a future season of “Dancing With the Stars.”
