Lita Ford pitches reality show
Bookmark and Share


Rocker Lita Ford is cashing in on Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning's upcoming Runaways biopic by pitching a new idea for a reality TV show chronicling her life on the road.

Ford, who is portrayed by child star Alessandra Torresani in new film Cherry Bomb, refused to have anything to do with the movie - but hopes talk about it will boost her own chances of landing a TV series.

The rocker thinks tourbus life with her husband Jim Gillette and their kids is perfect for TV.

She says, "My eight year old is in the top bunk and he's got Elmo on his hand and he's peeking over the door with Elmo but the language that is coming out of Elmo's mouth is not appropriate for children that are eight years old.

"Rocko is in the top bunk, and he's eight years old, and he's got Elmo and he is going, 'Hey, you a**holes! Hey I'm up here,' and he's sneaking over the door. So I'm thinking to myself, 'Reality show.' This is really f**king funny.

"My other son has pooped in a bag because you're not supposed to poop on the bus. He pooped in this bag and I told him to tie the bag shut so you can't smell anything, but he didn't. He just left this bag of poop in the bathroom and the whole bus smells like s**t and I'm thinking, 'Oh my God, this is definitely a reality show.'"

But she insists there won't be a lot of wild antics: "Everyone is clean and sober and nobody drinks a damn thing except for a glass of wine before the show and that's it."
