Santa Monica, CA (December 17, 2008) – ‘Bromances’ are taking Hollywood by storm.  With their extreme sports adventures, witty banter and ultra cool parties; these super close celebrity male friendships are the envy of guys everywhere.  Premiering Monday, December 29th at 9PM ET/PT, “Bromance” takes a group of regular guys from around the country and brings them to Hollywood to compete for the coolest chance of a lifetime, to become best buds with “Hills” breakout star, Brody Jenner and live the luxe life right out of a magazine. In the end, Brody will befriend one guy and invite him to become part of his entourage.

Unfortunately, in Hollywood finding the perfect guy you can trust and chill with can be just as hard as finding a girlfriend.  Brody will have the “bros” compete in various group and individual activities that will test their trust, reliability and compatibility to determine who truly belongs in his inner circle. Throughout the series, the pool of “bros” gets smaller and in the end, the winner will take home an incredible prize package, move out to Hollywood and secure a spot as the newest member of Jenner’s entourage.
