We know. You have no idea who that is. It’s okay.

Tinsley Mortimer is a blonde socialite who lives in Manhattan. Someone at the CW must have met her and realized she didn’t have a reality show yet.

Cha-ching, they thought.

The network will explore the lives of the young and wealthy in a “docu-soap” series following the socialite, one of “New York’s most famous faces.”

She’s been described as “New York’s pre-eminent young socialite” and was rumored to be shooting a reality show when she appeared at a party with cameras in tow.

Wherever Tinsley Mortimer goes, drama is sure to follow. Apparently.

This is Tinsley Mortimer. She’s getting her own show.

Mortimer has appeared on the CW before, having made a guest appearance on the second season premiere of Gossip Girl, playing herself of course.

She was also a guest judge on Bravo’s Fashion Show this summer.

The CW ordered eight episodes of the Tinsley Mortimer reality show. She recently separated from husband Robert Livingston (Topper) Mortimer, who’s also rich.

The celebrity gossip rags in New York are tracking each development there. It’s hard to blame them. It’s been a really slow couple of weeks in gossip.
