We're as excited as anyone about Whitney Port's forthcoming reality show The City, but we don't want the poor thing overdoing it in order to satisfy the voracious demands of the cameras. Port tells the Daily News: "There are times when I'm working so much that I just think, 'What am I going to do?' But I just have to roll with the punches and take it day by day—that's something that Lauren taught me to do."

Luckily, one wise mentor will be replaced with another: Olivia Palermo, who is working with Whitney at Diane von Furstenberg. "She grew up here and she's a pretty cool girl," says Whitney. "She's someone I can talk to." Indeed! Best of all, she'll have tips on how to deal with negative publicity, in the very unlikely event that any befalls our heroine.
