 Fox and Donald Trump are developing "Lady or a Tramp," a reality-competition series in which girls in love with the party life will be sent to a charm school where they will receive a stern course on debutante manners. Trump will exec produce the show and possibly come on air to evaluate contestants' progress, insiders said.

RDF USA will produce the show, with chief exec Chris Coelen and exec veep of development Greg Goldman, Bruce Toms ("Nanny 911") and Trump Prods. prexy Andy Litinsky joining Trump as exec producers.

If the show gets greenlit, it could be on the air as early as midseason.

Series, which will combine the competition and self-improvement aspects of reality television with the sizzle of the tabloids, is an adaptation of the British series "Ladette to Lady."

On that show, party girls are sent to the U.K. charm school Eggleston Hall, where they are taught "how to go from throwing a kegger to throwing a tea party," Goldman quipped.

Girls are required to wear tweed skirts and pearl necklaces, and taught the finer points of skills like flower arranging and needlework.

Media Snackers

The above video is an example of a tasty media snack done by the aptly named MediaSnackers , it illustrates the fragmentation and segmentation of how web friendly folk consume their entertainment and information.

TWITTER Robert Scoble posted a picture of Twitter's door. Part of his day was spent visiting their offices. Biz sent out an email announcing new hires, the tracker function , and promoting the new PBS Show Wired Science who you can follow @ http://twitter.com/wiredscience . Here's a link to Anita Hamilton's Time article ' Why Everyone's Talking About Twitter ' (from March '06, after SXSW). I love Twitter, I'm addicted to it and I am completely voyeuristic when it comes to some people whom I've never met. It supplies a real time snapshot of developments in the Web 2.0, social media arena. It's just a place to post random thoughts that you think are worth sharing in less than 140 characters. The tired argument against Twitter is than everyone just posts "I'm eating a burrito". Which isn't true. Twitter is an easy way to discuss events, ideas, news stories, new photos. The problem is that unless you have a blog or a web si
