'Dancing with the Stars' alum Joanna Krupa shooting her own reality show
Joanna Krupa celebrated her Michigan Avenue magazine cover at Epic restaurant on Wednesday.
You would think supermodel Joanna Krupa would want a break from reality TV.
In just the last year, Krupa teamed up with Terrell Owens on "Superstars" (you probably saw her snap at the arrogant NFL star in promos for the show) and then finished fourth on last season's "Dancing with the Stars" ("If it was based on dancing, I should have been the runner-up," she said).
But Krupa, a Glenbard East alum, is now looking to join the likes of Kathy Griffin, Denise Richards and Kendra Wilkinson by starring in her own show.
Krupa said she already has a producer lined up and has been actively shooting for the show, but she still doesn't know where or when it will air.
"It's a show about my life and family," said Krupa at an event celebrating her Michigan Avenue magazine cover at Epic restaurant (112 W. Hubbard Street) on Wednesday. "I've mostly done modeling, so people don't get to see your personality and the type of person you are."
What reality show will it most be like?
"It'll be a lot different from most reality shows," Krupa responded. "It'll have substance. And in most reality shows, people are all about themselves. My whole thing is that I'm very passionate about charity. I really want to bring that out to people and do some good in my life."
Krupa is a PETA advocate and has posed in "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" ads, which is why she was so upset with actress Raquel Welch on Tuesday. After seeing Welch wearing a fur coat, Krupa called her "heartless" on Twitter.
"I was such a huge fan of her's," Krupa told me. "Maybe she's oblivious to how it's made and how these poor animals are skinned alive. I'd like to be positive and think she doesn't know about it, but when I saw the fur coat, it broke my heart."
