Daisy of Love


Daisy of Love confirmed! Daisy De La Hoya is getting her own VH-1 reality show Daisy of Love. Daisy of Love is from LALATE’s fav producers Mark Cronin and Cris Abrego for 51 Minds Entertainment.

Earlier this year, LALATE profiled 51 Minds’ purchase by TV powerhouse Endemol.

On a side note, last week LALATE was flipping through the channels and came onto I Love Money by 51 Minds. Yes, it’s a trainwreck show. But LALATE was definitely impressed by the production value and shooting of the reality show - fast, sharp, well light, great passing, and definitely entertaining. (After that, LALATE attempted to watch Paris Hilton’s My New BFF - horrible.) 51 Minds always impresses LALATE.

This week, LALATE will come out with its list of the top 10 reality shows you should be watching and may not be.

Daisy of Love is casting.

Here is the official press release from Daisy of Love just released.

Endemol Acquires Cris Abrego Mark Cronin 51 Minds Entertainment

Posted on April 8th, 2008 in 51 Minds, Endemol, Mark Cronin, Cris Abrego by lalate


The production company behind “Rock of Love”, “Flavor of Love”, “I Love New York”, is probably having a lovely week right now. Last Tuesday, production company 51 Minds Entertainment often featured here on LALATE news was aquired by Endemol USA …. for a lovely $200 million, reports Variety.

The incredible company headed by Cris Abrego and Mark Cronin is key for Endemol since Abrego and Cronin reporting retain ownership of the formats, and their series themselves.

“It’s very hard to find companies in the nonscripted space that are prolific creators and owners of content and whose last names don’t begin with ‘S’ or ‘B’,” said Endemol USA head David Goldberg to Variety (referencing Reveille heads Ben Silverman and Mark Burnett).

Of course, everything 51 Minds does is a hit.

The deal is quite interesting, besides be quite lucrative.
