From DHD – Alloy Entertainment is having a big week. First they have two pilots picked up at ABC Family, and now the CW is finalizing a script deal for another Alloy Entertainment project, based on the book Confessions of a Back-Up Dancer by Tucker Shaw. Sascha Penn will write the adaptation, and Marcos Siega (who directed the Vampire Diaries pilot) is attached to direct and produce.
The CW, Warner Bros. and Alloy tried last year to bring Confessions to the small screen, but that adaptation, written by The L Word creator Ilene Chaiken, didn’t go to pilot. If at first you don’t succeed…
Confessions of a Back-Up Dancer explores the glamorous and gritty behind-the-scenes world of a major pop tour from the point of view of the star’s troupe of backing dancers.
Book Jacket:
Glamour. Access. Scandal.
Ever wonder what your favorite pop divas are like AFTER the cameras stop rolling? What do they do behind closed doors? What are their parties like? What do they think about? What do they fight about? What do they really want? And who do they REALLY hook up with?
Kelly Kimball spent a summer as a backup dancer for Darcy Barnes, the biggest pop star in the world. Kelly’s got the real story on Darcy, her life, her family, and her entourage — and she’s spilling it here for the first time. If you think the life of a superstar can’t possibly be all it’s cracked up to be, you’re wrong. It’s all that and more. And it’s all inside Kelly’s tell-all diary: Confessions of a Backup Dancer.
