Drama! Drama! Drama!
Ashton Kutcher might have stolen his latest TV show idea from none other than Anna Nicole Smith!
For those few that watched the premier of E!’s new Ashton Kutcher-produced Pop Fiction this weekend, guess what??? Turns out the concept of the show came from Anna Nicole Smith….THREE years ago!!!
The show was to be called Celebrities Strike Back, and it was pitched by Anna and her former attorney/manager/”lover” Howard K. Stern.
Seems like a lawsuit is in the happenings!
Pop Fiction seems almost identical to the treatment that Anna registered with the Writers Guild back in 2004.
Anna and Howard even pitched the show and sent the treatment to E! president Ted Harbert along with two top execs at E!.
The treatment states, “…what happens if Anna Nicole Smith and other celebrities turn the tables and capitalize off of the overzealous media? What if the next big supposed scandal is not a scandal at all? What if everything is staged, but the media (and the public) don’t know it? Anna Nicole and other celebrity guests take aim at the media and push all the limits.”
To add a slap in the face, Howard even spoke with E! just two months ago, on behalf of the estate of course, and pitched the show again. This time, with Larry Birkhead doing the opening prank, and later hosting the show. But he was turned down.
Expect a MAJOR lawsuit to come!
