HBO Heads Into the West
Looks like Kanye West will be the latest star with a reality TV vehicle.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, pay cabler HBO is developing an unscripted series revolving around rapper Kanye West. The series would focus on a day in the life in the Grammy Award-winning singer and his "crazy, hectic life."
The untitled Kanye West project, which HBO has declined to comment on, comes from the fertile mind of Larry Charles of Curb Your Enthusiasm and Borat fame), who will executive produce and direct. Record label exec Rick Rubin and West's manager G Roberson will also executive produce.
News comes a few months after Kanye West signed a deal with New Line to produce a feature film "inspired" by his music; West will also star in the film.
As for Larry Charles, he's no stranger to large entourages; he was, after all, the executive producer of HBO's fictional Entourage during its first two seasons.
