Famed Los Angeles nightlife and restaurant impresario and celebrity scene staple, Brent Bolthouse, is segueing into TV producing with a comic project he co-created and developed with writer-producer Vanessa Riesen (Weeds, Californication). The untitled project, which is being set up at Starz, follows the lives of several people whose paths cross in Los Angeles, with each episode taking place over the course of one night. WME-repped Riesen is set to write the project, which she will executive produce with Bolthouse. Bolthouse, repped by WME and Thruline, has dabbled into acting and appeared on MTV’s The Hills.

No. No no no! Make it stop!
The douchebag!
I love it.
This is a joke right? What a tool.
please kill me
Nice.Another series for Starz!
How can you possibly use “acting” and the hills in the same sentence?
Way to go starzz…. NOT. if your going to do LA nightlife, have an interesting spin, and not the “actor’ and tool BRENT BOLTHOUSE. Starzz, i am disapointed
Reisen and Bolthouse together?! This show is going to be great! I’ll watch it!
From the geniuses who cancelled the genius show “Party Down” comes “Tales from a douche bag”. Starz sucks.
Bingo, you nailed it. The geniuses at Starz cancel ‘Party Down’, the best show about Hollywood – including ‘Entourage’ – to give us some crap with that stiff Bolthouse. Good guy, but stiff.
Seems like a case of another person FAMOUS FOR BEING FAMOUS – GETS EVEN MORE FAMOUS! Sad, sad, sad . . .
Yawn. He’s been shopping this around for at least 5 years. Finally found a sucker to buy it I guess. Can’t blame him for stretching out as his club clientele are getting older, dying out or in rehab.
Hahaha, kudos to Steve’s comment
Bolthouse is a class act. Way to go Starz!
I don’t know why you’d use the title “celebrity scene staple” when “starfucker” suffices just as well; saves you a few keystrokes and space in the column.
Yet another show on Starz that people won’t watch.
Zzzzz….oh great! Nightclubs are so now and…zzzzzzzz……
Isn’t this a rip off of “Crash”…???then throw in “24″…Chris is jumping the shark. This guys a complete jerk!!
Yes, nothing says class like posing with Lindsay Lohan. See you at the Emmys…..
Hard to tell whether the snarky comments come from the usual DH pack o’ haters or people who claim some basis in reality for their comments. Given the lack of any claims of the latter, I suppose we have to assume the former. I have known BB in a business capacity for five or six years, although I have not had any dealings with him recently. What I can tell you all from firsthand experience is that BB is a smart and creative businessman with vision and talent that extends far beyond clubs and LA/Vegas nightlife. He is also an incredibly decent and honorable individual, and I wish him all the best.
Nice self-promo Brent. What a douchelord.
Congrads Brent! GOD BLESS
The only ppl who like tools like Bolthouse are of the extraordinary group of intellectuals who spell the word as “Congrads”.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Brent for 20 years. What you call ‘douchebag’, I call a class act. The man is all heart. He has worked hard for every success and has an incredibly creative mind. How many of you actually KNOW him? Criticizing others due to your own insecurities is pathetic. Please stop being so transparently jealous. It’s for the weak-minded.
Agreed 100%. Bolthouse has the best relationships around town for a reason. He deserves this more than any other guy in TV out there.
I didn’t know they were making an ‘Entourage’ spin off so soon. What a crock of shit this will be. Bolthouse a class act? He’s a starfucker who rode Drew Barrymore’s coattails to nightlife infamy.
He may be a bit of a dildo, but he’s acting in the tradition of the great American entrepreneurial spirit, and all you naysayers are not.
So who is truly the tool here? Oh let me guess, Your Mama.
