What Ever Happened to Ally Hilfiger?

Do you remember the show Rich Girls on MTV? It aired in 2003 and was one of the first reality shows that simply followed someone around during their day-to-day life. The stars were 2 rich girls: Jamie Gleicher (who I still don't know what she did or where she came from) and Ally Hilfiger, daughter of fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger.

The show wasn't the most entertaining or exciting program on TV, but watching the weird and ridiculous antics of these 2 girls was pretty amusing. They both seemed to be truly themselves and not play up for the cameras, which is rare in today's filled-to-capacity reality TV lineup.

During my college years my friend Danielle and I were obsessed with Ally and her unreasonable anxiety and nervous breakdowns. Well, praise Jesus for inventing YouTube because I found a clip from one of my favorite moments of the first and only season of Rich Girls. Fast forward to 1:50 into the video see my favorite moment, which I often recite when I'm feeling anxious or overwhelmed...



According to her wikipedia page Ms. Hilfiger had to spend some time in rehab after taping finished (who didn't go to rehab? Seriously?) because apparently the stress of being rich and famous or having a television show was just too much handle. Either that or she collapsed after another failed attempt at getting the onions with the tomato with the beef with the rice and the cheese. Well, you get it.

OS X Lion, the new operating system for the Mac, is available now on the Mac App Store.

This is probably is the most random thing I've ever blogged about but... it just makes me really happy. Do you remember this show? Here's the intro in case you missed the catchy theme!
