E! ANNOUNCES NEW SERIES FEATURING SISTERS TESS TAYLOR AND ALEXIS AND GABRIELLE NEIERS PREMIERING MARCH 2010

Half-Hour, Nine Episode Series Follows Three Sisters Who Attract More Attention Than They
Can Handle in the City of Angels

Los Angeles, California – E! announces the new unscripted series “Pretty Wild” (working title), which follows the lives of three sisters, Tess Taylor (19) and Alexis (18) and Gabrielle (15) Neiers, and their unconventional Hollywood family. The series presents an unfiltered look at Hollywood from the perspective of the sisters whose jaw-dropping looks and unstructured upbringing make them magnets for those who have fallen for Tinseltown’s many temptations. Produced by Borderline Amazing Productions and New Wave Entertainment, “Pretty Wild” (working title) debuts March 2010 on E!Tess and Alexis (“Lexi”) live like the stars, from partying with the “who’s who” of young Hollywood to dating the hottest bad boys. They often find themselves attracting all kinds of attention – sometimes more than they bargained for – as Lexi experienced first hand when her “association” with the wrong people brought her much more than a hangover.

Their eccentric mom, Andrea, a former model with a heart of gold, is trying to learn how to rein in her daughters, particularly Tess who she constantly struggles to communicate with. Luckily Gabrielle (“Gabby”) resists most of the trouble that seems to find her enigmatic sisters, at least so far.“These sisters are compelling, unpredictable and drop dead gorgeous – perfect prey for all that Hollywood has to offer, the good, the bad and the ugly,” said Lisa Berger,Executive Vice President, Entertainment Programming, E! “Their lives were recently turned upside down and our viewers will be there every step of the way to find out what happens next.”

Tess, the oldest sister, is the true party girl of the family who frequents the hottest celebrity hangouts. Despite having the best of intentions, she often falls into what her mom, Andrea, considers the “wrong crowd” and finds herself surrounded by trouble. Tess works as a model and is hoping her recent appearances in multiple magazines will help take her career to the next level, including into the world of music videos.
Lexi, the middle sister, has a love/hate relationship with Tess and has often been jealous of all the attention that Tess gets when she goes out.

But recently Lexi is getting more attention than she could have ever imagined following her arrest as part of an alleged burglary ring. The series follows Lexi as she faces unanticipated new challenges as she’s thrown into a chaotic legal process, from preparing for her upcoming trial to dealing with the paparazzi to addressing a possible stalker situation.Although she’s the youngest, Gabby tends to act like the most mature of the bunch and is regarded as the moral center of the family. She has been home-schooled in the past and is now trying to live like a normal teenager, from getting her driver’s permit to dating for the first time. She is deeply affected by Lexi’s recent troubles and does her best to keep the family grounded through it all.

Andrea sees a lot of herself in her daughters – she’s a former wild child turned self-help enthusiast – and is now feeling the consequences of giving her daughters perhaps too much freedom growing up. She has a hard time reinforcing rules and is constantly battling with Tess who wants to go out all the time. Jerry, Andrea’s husband and the girls’ step-dad, tries to serve as the rock of the family but even he has trouble protecting the girls from all the craziness that seems to follow them. Also in the picture is Lexi and Gabby’s dad Mikel who has a far from perfect track record.

“Pretty Wild” (working title) follows this family’s ups, downs and everything in between – proving that it’s hard to be an angel when you’re living in the devil’s playground. The series premieres March 2010 on E!“Pretty Wild” (working title) is produced by Borderline Amazing Productions and New Wave Entertainment.
