It's My Party and I'll Rip Off MTV If I Want To

The greatest show in the history of mankind, MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen, is about to get some competition from Bravo's It's My Party, produced by those Sorcerers of the Superficial at World of Wonder (the people responsible for the "Showbiz/Dogs/Sportskids/Philharmonic Cellists/Found Object Sculptors/Sex Industry Workers Moms & Dads" gawk-a-tainment reality genre).

From Page 5 of today's Variety:

In each episode, cameras follow two families as they ready for similar events such as bar mitzvahs, weddings and sweet-16 parties.

Bravo topper Lauren Zalaznick said "It's My Party" "puts a unique twist on a familiar concept."

"This series aims to uncover what leads parents to invest so much in the celebrations of their children's major rites of passages," she said.

That's quite a unique twist, Zalaznick! So let me get this straight: while Super Sweet Sixteen causes audiences to point, gasp and scream at the exploits of its evil, spoiled subjects, your show will instead have viewers gasping, screaming and pointing. Way to innovate!

Don't get us wrong: we will most certainly be there, our greedy, sweaty thumbs resting ever so gently on the rubbery TiVo replay button for immediate decadent-Bar-Mitzvah-replay-satisfaction...  ("YOU'RE TOO FAT AND GAY TO BE A JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE LOOKALIKE!!!...LOOKALIKE..OOKALIKE..IKE...IKE...IKE...")
