We've seen how the real housewives of the rich and powerful live, but what about the hired hands who help make their lavish lifestyles possible? That's where "Beverly Hills Nannies" comes in.
The brainchild of Kristin Lancione, herself a nanny who runs her own nanny placement agency, the real-life ABC Family series -- which premieres Wednesday, July 11 -- will follow nine people who either work for or are trying to work for well-heeled families in La-la-Land.
Getting families to participate in the series was difficult, Lancione says, because there was no intent on pulling punches in the portrayals.
"There are situations where maybe a nanny thinks the family is being a little snobby or the kids are being a little bratty," she says. "We all love our families that we're with, and we're treated with respect, but there's a fine line, and sometimes we really are considered the help, and...

Cindy Margolis -- Car Impounded at Police Checkpoint
Pretty ladies don't always get a pass at police checkpoints -- in fact, TMZ has learned cops impounded Cindy Margolis' ride this weekend after they discovered her driver shouldn't have gotten behind the wheel.
According to law enforcement sources ... Cindy -- the most downloaded woman on the Internet back when people used CompuServe -- was a passenger in her 2010 Lexus Slx when her driver rolled up to a DUI and driver's license checkpoint in L.A.
We're told her driver didn't have a valid license -- so cops issued the guy a citation and seized the car.
Cindy and her driver eventually found another way home -- and Cindy went to the impound lot the next day to pick up her car. But the incident didn't come cheap -- we're told Margolis had to fork over $246.35 in fees.
TMZ spoke to Cindy who told us,...

Magic Johnson held a victory party for the L.A. Lakers last night at West Hollywood club Trousdale, and people you never would have guessed were Lakers fans showed up. Namely Bai Ling, whose credibility only extends to that one episode of Lost she was in, Playboy Playmate Luann Lee and Cindy Margolis. Put the three of them together in a room and all of a sudden you forget why you’re there, it just becomes a perfect storm of crotch shots, mugging at the camera and uncomfortable bystanders. We don’t doubt that they’re proud of their hometown team, but they sure have interesting ways of showing it. Like table dancing and boob-grabbing. Not that we’re judging.
