Blow Out's "Reality"

LA.comfidential's insidery-monikered The Insider marvels at the irreality of Bravo's LensCrafters/American Express infomerial (and current Defamer fave) Blow Out. Among the show's truth-bending sins are Antin's dramatic re-introduction to longtime acquaintance Margaret Cho and lack of disclosure of Antin's longtime, buzzless gig as hopelessly square, hatchet-headed talk show host Jay Leno's stylist. We're a little more bumped out of reality by the show's bludgeoning of the audience with moments supposedly proving Antin's avowed heterosexuality: the cut-shots of his hungry stares at the salon's female clientele, constant "confessionals" about how he loves the chicks, his frequent cockblocking of the show's other tattooed, hetero haircutter. But we'll believe it only when penis touches vagina, preferably during one of those awkward, "I just cut your hair, why don't we stroll over to LensCrafters for some glasses and a quick fuck?" scenes. Come on, the guy knows Margaret Cho.
