Rod Stewart Gets An E! Reality Show
Is Rod Stewart the new Ozzy Osbourne? It seems he might well be, because E! has begun filming a fly-on-the-mansion-wall reality series at his and third wife Penny Lancaster’s Los Angeles home. It promises to be “The Osbournes” with less shaky hands but more tartan, train sets and Celtic memorabilia. The 70-year-old rasping rocker and his 43-year-old model wife – not to mention his gazillion kids: Rod doesn’t know how to zip it — will be the main focus of the part-scripted show, due to air in June. Two of the leathery lothario’s adult children – musician Sean, 34, and socialite Kimberly, 35, from his first marriage – will have prominent roles. The show promises to be a very 21st century saga about a sprawling extended family – rather like E!’s flagship show, the globe-conquering “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” But why is Rod doing it? He hardly needs either the exposure or the money: he’s said to be worth $250 million.
