WE tv has greenlighted two docu-soap series, Cyndi, starring singer Cyndi Lauper and executive produced by Mark Burnett, and Kendra On Top, starring Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett. Cyndi, which has received a 12-episode order, will chronicle the personal and professional life of Lauper, who has been married to actor David Thornton for 20 years and has a 13-year-old son. The series will start production next month for a summer launch. Kendra On Top, which has received a 14-episode order (hourlong premiere and finale and 12 half-hour episodes), chronicles the everyday life of former Playboy model-turned-reality star Wilkinson-Baskett who is now a wife and mother. Kevin Burns is executive producing. Production begins this month for a summer debut.

Does this mean E! cancelled their series, Kendra?
FACT: More content providers = more shitty content.
At least the Kardashians now have a worthy competitor in society’s race to the bottom.
LaForge: Permission to hurl, Captain.
Picard: Permission granted.
I see We is now in the business of picking up E!’s leftovers. Even if that race is straight to the bottom, might as well lead the pack.
Really? So they are taking poorly rated and cancelled Kendra, re naming it and hoping that is going to bring viewers in. How about some NEW reality characters WE? Im so tired of the run-offs and spin offs, WE needs to develop their own “Kardashians” and discover new talent to flagship the network the way a smaller network such as Style has done with Jerseylicious and Big Rich Texas
For a second there I thought Cyndi and Kendra were starring in something TOGETHER. And I thought, “Well, now that sounds interesting…”
How do execs develop and greenlight “a reality show following a reality star…” without throwing up on themselves or eating a bullet?
