The Princes of Malibu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Princes of Malibu was an American reality show that aired on the Fox Network during the summer of 2005. The series follows two seemingly lazy brothers, Brandon and Brody Jenner, sons of Olympian Bruce Jenner and songwriter and former Miss Tennessee USA Linda Thompson, who are said to be on permanent vacation and live with their mother and stepfather, noted composer David Foster in Malibu, California. Mom Linda thinks the brothers can do no wrong, while stepdad David wants the "freeloaders" to get jobs (which, outside of the series, they actually did have) and move out of the palatial 22-acre compound by the sea. The series follows the family's trials and tribulations in a manner reminiscent of The Osbournes and The Simple Life.

The future of the series was thrown into doubt in late July 2005 when Thompson filed for divorce from Foster.[1] [2] Soon after, Fox cancelled the series after airing only two of the six produced episodes, airing the remaining episodes on Fox Reality. The series is currently in syndication and screens in Australia on Channel [V] on an inconsistent time slot. It also appears on the little Belgium music tv station JIM TV
