Premiere Date For NYC Prep Announced

Looks like Gossip Girl is about to get real.

With NYC Prep, Bravo will be taking us inside the lives of elite Manhattan teenagers. For a network with three (and counting) shows in its successful Real Housewives franchise, this was really only a matter of time.

The NYC teen series will premiere Tuesday, June 16 at the odd time of 11 p.m., but will move to its regular time slot on Tuesday, June 23 at 10 p.m.

In the fashion department, there's not exactly a Blair Waldorf or Chuck Bass among the bunch - even though Camille (left) apparently favors her odd hair accessories, while PC (middle) has a penchant for the emo scarf.

The character descriptions, however, give us more hope.

Kelli (right) wants to start her own singing career, while Camille enjoys hitting the hot clubs, even at age 16, while Sebastian is a total ladies' man and Taylor just wants to marry a rich husband. Hey, she's honest.
