Wow, so the press release for my new dating show, Transamerican Love Story”, was put out today! There was already a nice post on Perez Hilton’s blog, which is HUGE! He has an enormous readership. Ever cooler, he was totally nice and hasn’t even assigned me a cruel nickname! (Yet! Yikes… let’s hope that doesn’t happen.)

The show is SO much fun, with lots of humor and hot guys and cool things happening. I can’t say much, but I hope everyone will watch when it comes out in February 2008. I’ll keep you updated!

LOGO FINDS LOVE, TRANSAMERICAN STYLE WITH

UPCOMING REALITY SLATE

Reality dating show starring Calpernia Addams and Alec Mapa to premiere in February 2008;

lesbian bar scene and gay basketball series to bow in summer 2008

NEW YORK, NY ‚Äì November 29, 2007 ‚Äì Logo, a division of Viacom Inc.’s (NYSE: VIA and VIA.B)

MTV Networks, today announced it has greenlit a new competition dating series – Transamerican Love

Story – centered on transgender activist, artist, actress and author Calpernia Addams. Logo also announced

the greenlight of Gimme Sugar, which follows five women on the search for love in the L.A. lesbian

nightlife and club scene as well as Rockdogs (working title), which chronicles San Francisco’s star gay

basketball team as its new generation of players struggles to survive on and off the court.

“These shows advance Logo’s continuing mission to not only explore the diversity of people in our

community, but also the diverse lives they lead,” said Brian Graden, President, MTV Networks Music

Group Entertainment; and President, Logo.

Logo’s new eight episode dating reality series Transamerican Love Story follows Calpernia Addams as she

whittles down a group of eight bachelors, living together in a Los Angeles-area home, with the help of her

best friend and fellow transgender activist Andrea James. Calpernia is openly transgender to all the show’s

suitors from the start of the series.

“Calpernia Addams proves that steely optimism and a genuine spirit are the universal keys to finding love,” added Graden.

The show is hosted by comedian and actor Alec Mapa (Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives) and will also

feature online voting at LOGOonline.com, allowing viewers to express who they think Calpernia should

eliminate. Live voting results will air during the show, but the selections are Calpernia’s alone.

The hour-long show, which will premiere in February 2008, is executive produced by Randy Barbato,

Fenton Bailey and Tom Campbell of World of Wonder Productions (Transgeneration, The Eyes Of Tammy

Faye), Joe Del Hierro of Oh Really! Productions (The Big Gay Sketch Show) and co-executive produced by

Julio Kollerbohm.

In Gimme Sugar’s six half-hour episodes, five hot young friends on the L.A. lesbian club scene bite off

more than they can chew when they try to launch and promote their own club night. If they succeed,

they’ll be the youngest female promoters in LA. The girls will fight, fall in love, break apart, and come

back together as they struggle to make their dream come true.

The show, which will premiere in summer 2008, is executive produced by Scott A. Stone of Stone &

Company (Tim Gunn’s Guide To Style, The Ride, Curl Girls), Michaline Babich (Million Dollar Listing,

Welcome To The Parker) & Michelle Agnew.

A star gay basketball team in San Francisco lives together under one roof as they prepare to defend their

national title in Rockdogs (working title). During six half-hour episodes, the team will try to bring back the

glory of San Francisco’s three-generation, gold-medal winning legacy of the Rockdogs. While the

competition on the court is fierce, the action will be found on the high drama off the court. Executive

produced by Eddie October Productions (Bands Reunited, Tommy Lee Goes To College) and William

Kendall, the show will premiere in summer 2008.
