Reality TV gets its own Comic-Con with Audrina Patridge, Nick Cannon and more
Attention, lovers of "The Hills" and frankenbites! The world of reality television is about to get its own giant fan gathering a la Comic-Con.
The Reality Rocks Expo, starting April 9 in the Los Angeles Convetion Center, will feature stars such as Audrina Partridge, Nick Cannon, Karina Smirnoff and others in question-and-answer sessions and meet-and-greets with fans. Admission will be $35 for a one-day pass or $65 for both days. Clearly, organizers are using Comic-Con as a template when they promise "the ultimate reality TV experience, about the fans, for the fans and by the fans."
From the release: "The Reality Rocks Expo will feature two jam-packed days filled with previews of brand new television shows, meet & greets with everyone’s favorite reality TV stars, insightful panel discussions as well as a special VIP Awards program for the Reality Rocks Fan Awards honoring fans’ favorite talent and programs when the expo comes to the Los Angeles Convention Center April 9-10, 2011."
Add a symposium explaining Kim Kardashian's enduring popularity, and we're so there!

Well that's taking an idea and running with it. I will be sure to see where they broadcast the updates during the shows with my sponsored DISH Network account. I usually catch G4 at Comic Con for the updates. Another convention? No worries, dish.com/TVeverywhere.
