Two name-brand reality TV stars are on the move.
Julia Haart, who shot to fame on her Netflix hit “My Unorthodox Life,” and outsize Bravo star Jill Zarin are set to appear together on a new show. The show is headed to a “major network,” we’re told, but it’s going to be neither the streaming behemoth nor Bravo. The show is said to be a “reality version” of the 2006 Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker movie “Failure to Launch.”
The Post’s review of the flick describes the McConaughey character as “a 35-year-old sailboat salesman who drives a Porsche and dates hot women. Also, he lives with his parents,” until they get sick of him and hire SJP’s character, Paula, “a sort of guidance counselor for unweaned men, to get him to fall in love with her and move out of the house.”
We’re guessing the powerfully persuasive Haart and Zarin will be the real-life Paulas of the situation, helping to ease overgrown adolescents out of their family homes.
Neither woman has commented on the putative show, but each posted on her social media yesterday linking to a Google Form. “Do you or someone you know need help kickstarting their life?” it reads. “Whether it’s moving out of your [parents’] house, getting a job, learning to date — our celebrity hosts and experts want to help!” It says filming starts “early 2024.”
Haart’s made a major splash in the public eye since leaving an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community 10 years ago. She rose through the fashion industry, and in 2019 was named CEO of Elite World Group — by the brand’s owner, Silvio Scaglia, her husband. She filed for divorce in 2022 and lost her job the same day. They’ve been in messy court battles since.
Zarin hasn’t been on “The Real Housewives of New York City” since 2011 but has remained a disproportionately significant figure for “Housewives” fans. Last year she walked away from a reunion after driving a hard bargain over pay parity among the stars.
Reps didn’t comment.
