Perez Hilton To Front ITV2 Series

ITV2 has commissioned STV Productions to produce a four-part series with Perez Hilton.
In Perez Hilton Super Fan the celebrity blogger and television star will gain intimate access to four global superstars, including Lady GaGa, Kelly Rowland, Katy Perry and Enrique Iglesias.
The 4 x 60' series will be broadcast on ITV2 later this year. The series is set for global launch with international distributor, DRG.
The interview format, in which Perez Hilton gains access to all areas of the celebrities' lives, has been developed via STV's partnership with US independent Kinetic Content and will be co-produced with GroupM Entertainment.
Perez Hilton said: "I can't wait to make sweet love to the airwaves of British television! We will be making lots of babies! And I'm thrilled that our first episode is a very special look at the intimate life of one of the biggest superstars on the planet and one of my best friends, Lady GaGa."
Angela Jain, ITV's Director of Digital Channels and Acquisitions said: "Perez has gained unprecedented access into the lives of some of the biggest names in entertainment from Lady Gaga to Katy Perry. We’re delighted that he's bringing his own particular brand of wit and wisdom to ITV2."
Alan Clements, Director of Content at STV, said: "This is a hugely exciting project for STV, working with some of the biggest stars of the moment in what we're sure will be must-watch celebrity TV.
"We're delighted to be producing this four-part series for ITV2, in collaboration with our partners Kinetic Content and GroupM Entertainment."
Chris Colin, Chief Executive Officer of Kinetic Content, said: "We're thrilled to be collaborating with STV, Group M Entertainment and ITV2 on the first series in which Perez capitalizes on his unique access into the most exclusive corridors of celebrity."
Richard Foster, Managing Director, GroupM Entertainment said: "The successful delivery of unrivalled access to global A-list celebrities has shown just how effective a partnership it has been."
The series has been ordered for ITV2 by Angela Jain, ITV's Director of Digital Channels and Acquisitions and the commissioning editor for ITV is Claire Zolkwer.
The programme is delivered via a commercial partnership with GroupM Entertainment, part of GroupM - the world's leading media management investment group - and is part of a wider programming and content partnership which STV is developing with this group.
International TV Distributor DRG has also confirmed the global launch of the hotly anticipated series.
