Bravo has picked up a Sarah Jessica Parker-produced art-competition reality show, American Artist. Contestants will compete in various styles like painting, sculpting — and, with any luck, the manipulation of food into adorable animals (pictured). We’re honestly not sure how many people will tune in to watch paint dry, but as long as casting finds the most pretentious people possible (they should try spinning around in a circle anywhere in NYC and see who they hit — oh look, it worked!), the series could be awesome.
In any case, hooray for SJP! She must have gotten the job because she totally dated installation artist Aleksandr Petrovsky on the teevee. On that note, if anything on American Artist resembles a sad woman sitting on a pedestal and not eating, I most certainly will not watch what happens — because "Sad Woman Sitting On A Pedestal, Not Eating" could, and possibly should, serve as an alternate title for about 50% of current shows. Otherwise, count me in. You too?

if bravo had a show about h&r block workers during the off season, i would say, “i have never been more interested in the lives of these h&r block workers.” seriously – it’s something about bravo. they just suck me in.
Ooh, ooh, that’s Rirakuman! I had a stuffed Rirakuman when I lived in Japan. Anyway, I wouldn’t mind watching the show if I could get it in Canada (no Bravo). Might get picked up like PR and Top Chef, though.
This won’t work. What would the prize be? haven’t we already seen wacky art? The reason Project Runway works is because of the ARTISTIC challenges (food! garbage!). Not interested in this. Plus, I have never seen the appeal in SJP.
I’m not too interested in the show itself but SJP will be a great host. When she guested on Project Runway she was so genuine and likeable.
I love SJP and cannot, CANNOT, wait to see this show. She is super-classy and I think she will bring that with her to the show.
