McCarthy also says she'd like to film the show in her native city of Chicago, where she is currently living after an ill-fated fling with Chicago Bears' linebacker Brian Urlacher. The show will start out as weekly, but if it proves to be successful, VH1 may green light it for a nightly broadcast. A clause in her contract states that if the show does film nightly, it would have to be done in Chicago."
