For those of you watching Jackie Warner workout her latest client Sarah on Bravo’s Workout T.V. series - remember to separate fantasy from reality.
It seems the Jackie / Sarah connection has less to do with Sarah’s physical conditioning and more to do with publicity.
Is it really Jackie Warner trainer expertise Sarah’s after or Jackie Warner workout TV exposure. Is the appearance on the show strictly to start getting more commercial face time? You be the judge.
The actual workout may or may not be real but the publicity strategy is looks very real. It seems Jackie’s client Sara or Sarah Siegel-Magness is looking for a way to break into TV land. Penny Parker Of The Rocky Mountain Post reports:
Sarah Siegel-Magness has lived life as daughter to Celestial Seasonings czar Mo Siegel, CEO of the SoLow clothing line, wife of gahzillionaire Gary Magness and mother of two. Siegel-Magness also has been exploring her options in TV.
“I’ve been pitching five networks for a show about me,” Siegel-Magness told me during a phone interview from her upstate New York lake house. “I wanted to do a show where I starred in it.”
S-M and her manager (and Rocky Mountain News stylist) Tobie Orr are pitching the project as a docudrama focusing on Sarah’s professional life.
When the pair took the idea to Bravo, folks at the cable network wanted to see Sarah get more TV face time first, so they cast her in the new series Work Out, a six-episode reality show featuring Jackie Warner, the high-profile owner of chi-chi Sky Sport and Spa in Beverly Hills. The series, which premiered July 19, airs at 7 p.m. Tuesdays (including tonight).
Siegel-Magness, whose appearance was teased in the opening episode, makes her full-fledged character debut in the fourth show, airing Aug. 8. “It was a frigging blast,” she said about working out on Work Out. “Jackie is an incredible person, we had so much fun.”
They shot scenes at Siegel-Magness’ Palm Springs home. “A 10-minute workout with (Warner) and I was huffing and puffing,” she said. “It was hilarious.”
S-M’s next TV trip: playing in a celebrity poker event in Las Vegas that airs in October.
Meanwhile, SoLow is riding high. “I picked probably the most difficult business to be in, it’s so trendy,” she said. “But we’re going strong.”
