Fake Catfight on "The City"

• Tweet

It's no surprise that MTV reality shows such as "The Hills" and "The City" sometimes like to reshoot scenes to beef them up a little. However, sometimes they take it too far and the stars get uncomfortable with MTV's requests. "The City's" producers are now pressuring Whitney Port and Oliva Palermo to get into a hair-pulling, claws-bared catfight to boost the show's ratings.

"MTV wanted the girls to get into a physical fight at the DVF office," said our source. "Olivia was very disturbed by the request . . . The girls were both really uncomfortable." The source added that Port and Palermo both threatened to walk off the set if they were forced to participate in a fight scene. "Even though people think their jobs at DVF aren't real, both girls are really excited to be working in the fashion world, and wouldn't want to be seen getting into a fight in a professional setting," the source said.

So looks like their won't be a fist fight on "The City" next week but you can look forward to and altercation between the two ladies at work, "in which Olivia gets upset at Whitney's boyfriend Jay [Lyon] for showing up to a fund-raiser underdressed" - although, in fact, "Olivia could care less about what Jay is wearing.
