Somebody please correct us: Don’t you have to have slugged it out in the fashion biz for a minimum of 30 years before someone will put a documentary of basically you, bitching for two hours, in theaters and expect anybody to go see it? And doesn’t even that rule get amended to simply “NEVER!” if you’re a reality TV star? If so, nobody told Jay McCarroll, Project Runway season one winner and living embodiment of The Philly Curse. After screening at festivals all last year, Eleven Minutes opens at Ritz Bourse on March 6. Ostensibly taking its title from that Andy Warhol quote that now makes anyone in editorial wanna eat nails at the painful cliché of it all, Eleven Minutes (trailer at right) does seem to have one thing going for it: Kelly Cutrone, who single-handedly made the last two seasons of The Hills bearable. In any case, the film follows Jay around as he plays Pitfall from one fag-hag to another and rues his fate that no one takes him seriously because he is, as he denies over and over again, a Reality Entertainer. Sorry if this is coming off as bitchy and whiny — what can we say? Jay’s tone is pretty catchy.
