UK cable net Living unveiled its summer schedule at an eyebrow-raising launch party last night and took the opportunity to reveal a hat trick of new commissions for the autumn.
Bemused executives were greeted with the sight of leather-clad dwarves and drag queens in bikinis at the event in London, as Living director of programmes Claudia Rosencrantz announced the three new shows. Socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson will host Dirty Cows, in which 10 city girls will vie for the attentions of an eligible young farmer over eight episodes. In Pete's PA, cameras follow troubled 80s pop star Pete Burns as he hunts for a personal assistant that can help bring order to his tumultuous life. Living has also ordered Paranormal Egypt (8x60'), in which British medium Derek Acorah will travel to Egypt's most famous locations in a bid to contact the spirits of Tutankhamen and Ramesses III. It will be produced by indie Ruggie Media."
Awesome!

Chocolate that's fit for royalty

"Chocolate made in the likeness of King Tut seemed like a sweet - and timely - idea to West Chester's own chocolate king, Christopher Curtin.
Curtin, proprietor of Éclat Chocolate, created three delicately formed chocolates for the Franklin Institute exhibit Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs.
Curtin makes desserts in the shape of King Tut's head, a winged scarab and hieroglyphic chocolate shards to celebrate the pharaonic exhibit in Philadelphia, which continues until Sept. 30. It takes Curtin 11 minutes to make one King Tut head, while it takes him three minutes to make 30 truffles. "I have to do more modeling with the King Tut heads," which measure only 11/4 inches by 1 inch, said Curtin, 42, whose chef's whites were somehow clean of chocolate."
