Self-appointed “It Boy,” Fabian Basabe (Never heard of him? Clap.) is starring in a new reality TV series called “Mean Boys.” The show will follow his super interesting, meaningful existence, along with those of his two friends: Some Guy and Jose Ortiz, a Miami Cuban who writes for Ocean Drive magazine. We had hoped the end of the writers’ strike would bring about a fresh round of quality TV programming. But then we remembered we get all our porn online and don’t actually care:

Ne’er-do-well socialite Fabian Basabe, last seen on TV in “Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive,” is trying his hand at another reality show.

He told me at the Sunset Tower’s W magazine party that he’s shooting a pilot called “The Mean Boys.”

“The concept is we’re opening a lounge in L.A., and we decide who we’re going to invite and who we’re not,” he said.

OMG, the glamour of it all.

Flanked by his wife, La Perla heiress Martina, Basabe introduced me to his co-stars: South Beach publicist Nick D’Annunzio and Jose Ortiz, who writes for Ocean Drive magazine.

“Jose is the first lady of Miami,” said Basabe. “I tell everyone that.”

I’m sure he really appreciates that. Let’s find out s’more about him!

Nobody knows nightlife better than Jose Ortiz. Known to those who’ve shared a drink and a laugh with him (and there are many) as simply Jochy, this Cuban raised, man-about-town is a true Miami native. One of the original engineers of the South Beach scene, Jochy has been a crucial cog in the local nightlife and entertainment machine since is re-fabulization back in the early nineties, and remains a permanent fixture in an otherwise fickle and ever-changing industry. It is his uncanning ability to truly know his audience, and tap into human insight that has put Jochy in spheres to work with many top productions, event and agencies, in film, television and print media.

Oh Jochy. That name makes you sound like a small, yapping Havanese peeing on the lap of pop culture. Anyway, we aim to keep an eye on this show and a 40 in our hand, if only so we can find new reasons to celebrate the fact that we got oughtta Miami while we could.
