Rumer Willis Says Her Family's Reality Show Would Be "Best-selling"
Friday August 15, 2008
Rumer Willis (daughter of Demi and Bruce, stepdaughter of Ashton) says if her family had a reality show, it would be very successful."If we weren't all entirely morally opposed to doing a reality show, I guarantee it would be the best-selling reality show ever," Rumer told Page Six magazine.
Rumer's family is often joked about because her father Bruce gets along so well with his ex-wife's new, younger husband Ashton Kutcher.
"We all have so much fun together. I'm so lucky," Rumer is quoted as saying. "My dad and Ashton get along -- it's not weird. There's no jealousy or drama."
No jealousy or drama? Maybe it wouldn't be such a great reality show after all.
