Brooklyn Nordyke, the 10-year-old daughter of The Hollywood Reporter digital managing editor Kimberly Nordyke, recently got a chance to have her first red carpet experience as an “entertainment journalist.” She was able to channel her inner reporter at the premiere for the new live-action series L.O.L. Surprise! The Next Headliner, based on MGA Entertainment‘s wildly successful L.O.L. Surprise! doll product line. It’s a dream five years in the making as Brooklyn once wrote on a first-grade assignment that she wants to be a “Hollywood reporter” when she grows up. And, she grew up with L.O.L. Surprise! dolls and still owns several, including the dollhouse and other accessories, so she’s a bit of an expert on the brand.
Brooklyn on the red carpet waiting for the interviews to start.
The scripted comedy series, which blends mockumentary-style humor, aspirational pop-star fantasy and original music, stars Giselle Torres, Indi Star, Journey Montana Binns, Kate Mina Lin and Olivia Taylor Cohen as five aspiring singers in a reality competition seeking a chance to open for an established performer. However, they soon learn that they are better as a group, supporting each other instead of competing against each other, and form a band. There is also a product tie-in to the show, with the characters all getting their own dolls.
