Former New York Daily News gossip duo Rush & Molloy are suing MTV for stealing gossip peon Shallon Lester and putting her in an inane reality show. That silly idea was theirs first!

Last year, gossip hack Shallon Lester left the NY Daily News for the lush, tempting pastures of an MTV reality television show. The show, Downtown Girls, premieres next week. What could go wrong?

The American television dream can come true, attention addicts! MTV has picked up a new reality show called "Downtown Girls", which will make one media refugee blogger type momentarily pseudofamous. Not Julia Allison, though!
