E! orders 'Hot Girls in Scary Places'

HR_Still_6 E! has ordered new reality project that puts an all-girl spin on the paranormal investigation genre.

The show is called “Hot Girls in Scary Places” and, yes, that is the finest unscripted project name to come along in awhile. It’s a title. It’s a logline. It’s a title and a logline, with a “Snakes on a Plane”-style self-deprecating bluntness. Probably the best, if not the bestest, since Fuse's "Pants Off, Dance Off."  

The show stars three University of Southern California cheer squad friends challenged to spend the night in a supposedly haunted abandoned hospital for a cash prize of $10,000 (which would pay for maybe half a semester at USC). To get the prize, the trio will have to complete a series of challenges.

 “They’re totally scared, and totally believe experiences they’re going through,” says executive producer Gary Auerbach. “They’ll get scared and then be talking about a sorority party coming up. It’s a little bit 'Scooby Doo'-ish.”

HR_Still_7 “Hot Girls” will premiere as a special and is tentatively scheduled to air on Friday the 13th next month month (yes, March has one too). The project from Go Go Luckey (A&E's “Paranormal State” and Animal Planet's “Jockeys”) and it's considered a special/backdoor pilot.

Aren't these same hot girls "totally scared" when they ...

a) ... use the wrong self-tanner?
b) ... find out it's not really lowfat yogurt?
c) ... can't get a cell signal?
d) ... run into Seacrest at the wrap party?
e) ... realize they are stars of an E! reality show?

lol its considered a special/backdoor pilot!

Well to read this ,I am officially been knocked down a few pegs in brains cells, to here that title pisses me off !!!! Making a Mockery of Paranormal Investigation. And Cashing in on it sucks badly!!!!! First off I am in a Paranormal Investigation group and have to say its a lot of hard work and lots of us take it seriously in the world and try to open others minds up. You just took something that so many of us have tried to get taken seriously and flushed down the toilet with retarded ,dumbass ,blonde ,sluty cheerleaders and threw up with it !!! I hope you are Proud!
P.S . What kind of idiots Do you have working for you?

@Paula: Judging by your writing skills, I would say you wont be missing those brain cells much.

Paula: Are you trying out for the show or something? You mention "retarded ,dumbass ,blonde ,sluty cheerleaders" (sic) and I have to wonder how many of the girls on the show would still be able to express their thoughts more intelligently than you have.

You don't even seem to be missing the English skills, you just seem to be mentally handicapped or something. Your post shows you fail at typing, English, sentence structure, spelling and typing abilities.

It is like a retard just started banging his helmeted head against a keyboard and somehow it was left in our comments...

@paula:

You should be thankful that it's taken until now for someone to mock your "profession." Me, I became offended when "The Price is Right' began mocking the bargain shopper profession back in the 50s. Later, Supermarket Sweep began mocking the "housewife" profession. It snowballed from there, with "reality" television through the years, with "Fear Factor" mocking the "eat strange things for money" profession, then "Deal or No Deal" began mocking the "pick a random suitcase" profession. Will this ever end?

Paula: Paranormal investigation? I would say you have done a lot worse damage to the credibility of that field than this show could ever do.

Perhaps you should complete a grade school English course before posting garbage on the internet and further discrediting the bullshit you call a hobby (or profession??).

wow... i cant believe all of you are picking on someone who mis typed some sentences. you know people who talk on the internet forums havent been known for the best spelling and grammar. lay off the girl. she just was trying to make a valid point as to what a stupid show this is.

it does make a mockery of people like me and her. it takes time and devotion to do this stuff and when some sluts get put in a supposedly haunted hospital to find ghosts, it simply drags what we do through the damn mud. so quit being assholes.

@Zombie_pickle: She didn't just make a few typos. That was hardly recognizable as human communication.

Your post isn't much better either. Have you ever heard of a shift key?

Yes, your fellow humans expect you to show at least a little ability and intelligence when you communicate with us. You have done nothing but make your make believe 'science' look ridiculous as well.

dragging through the mud? What is it that you do that is so important that you are somehow above mockery on the Internet and TV of all places? What's that? You find ghosts? Oh, you don't really? You just record light shows and screwy sounds that people think are ghosts when they're high?

That's EXACTLY what this country needs right now! A new team of ghost hunters should have been a part of the stimulus package. Millions of reputable ghost hunters are out of work.

@Mike: Indeed. 'Reputable' and 'ghost hunters' seem to be mutually exclusive to me. I am not sure how you could ever lower people's opinion of these losers.

where's all the hot chicks? i thought LA was overflowing w/ medically made women?

I'll be your backdoor pilot, baby!

too damn easy...almost makes it not worth the effort

Ooooooooooooo this is the ghost of George Washington oooooooooooo
Whats sad is that you actually believe me

Boy I sure would like to stick it in that blonde one. She's a hottie!

I don't think these girls are worthwhile. I am a hot girl who is deeply into sci fi and horror and i think you should do a new episode with different hot girls who are IN SCARY PLACES. This is my dream job. Call me.

Basically, skimming through the comments with this article convinced me more to post a comment. I'm about ten minutes into this show and all I see is the camera crew following the chick to the room and staying in the room with her. I felt a lot of feelings, hatred, humor and why isn't Joel Mchale on? That's all this channel is good for. Reminds me more why I DVR this channel... for the soup and thats about it. The other shows are a bunch of a cash cows and all they are worried about is concentrating on what Jessica Alba's penis looks like. Thank you E!...thank you so much for reminding me the most logical show only comes on at a certain time and that the rest of your shows are bull. By the way Chelsea Handler...you're not funny, not funny at all.Please read that on your prompter so your five man audience can laugh

Paranormal invest-igitators are just out for the money. We went as a group to Eastern State Penn. With Taps and all Grant and his goons did was flirt with chicks and beg for more money. TOTAL BS, in the Penn. the dudes just stood there with one hand in their pocket and the other in their butts.....

First, the hospital looked like it was abandoned no more than 2 weeks ago. The rat, yeah I mean singular rat, roaming the hallways was from the local "Pets R Us" store. The girls were three song girls from USC, and the totally scary guy that kept popping up on the t.v. was more like the local perv that rides the city bus and keeps licking his lips while giggling and staring at you. (You know that guy, don't lie.)

As far as I was able to figure out...you can release the spirits of the damned if you bang on the metal rails of a hospital bed with a large wooden plank, while chanting, "I release you!" Ghosts have the ability to lock doors using those little doorknob things that the sheriff's office puts on the doorknobs of the recently evicted...rest their souls. Oh and apparently, newborn infants are homicidal maniacs that end up being treated in the doctor's office of a mental hospital! I can't tell you how many times I had to keep my 2-week-old infant from carving my throat out and jumping rope with my intestines...happens all the time. My favorite line? One girl actually said..."He said we should go to the basement. Do you think he meant downstairs?"

You have got to watch this show just for the giggle you get! And you gotta imagine what future episodes will be....

This week on "Hot Girls in Scary Places"...the girls are forced to don bikinis and go to a "haunted" bar. Don't worry girls those male ghosts surrounding that platform with a pole in the center of it are harmless. Now to complete this challenge, you must drink the clear liquid in the Smirnoff bottle on the table, then do a "tribal" dance using the center pole. Afterward, you must recreate the horror that happened here by covering yourselves in whipped cream and licking it off. BOO!

you should do smoe more videos

I know one of those girls

I so want to be on this show! I'm probably too young, but call me if you are the producer. 203-257-0429 or tinat@turechek.com I want to do this so bad.

Um...did you seriously just put your number on a completely unrelated site?

I guess you would be perfect on this show, haha.
