Move over Kardashians. E! Entertainment Television viewers will soon have another family to keep up with, as Shayne Lamas, formerly of "General Hospital" and "The Bachelor" and daughter of actor Lorenzo Lamas, will star in a new reality series this fall, "The Lamas Family."

Shayne Lamas told People magazine: "There's a lot going on with our family, so E! approached us. I wasn't ready to jump on the reality train, but it gave my whole family an opportunity to work together. It's going to be funny, light and fresh."

The reality "cast" for the eight half-hour episodes consists of: Lorenzo ("Falcon Crest"); his playboy soap actor son, A.J.; teen daughter Dakota, an aspiring musician; Shayne; and Lorenzo's ex-wife Michele Smith.

Lisa Berger, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Series Development for E!, was quoted on seat42f.com as saying: "This is a family only Hollywood could produce. From the twists and turns of the interpersonal dynamics to the hilarious antics, we know viewers will be highly entertained."

"This is a perfect family for reality TV," said the show's producer, Mike Fleiss ("The Bachelor," "High School Reunion"). "They are fun, funny and damn are they good looking."

Shayne had accepted the final rose from British bachelor Matt Grant last year. But the couple, following "Bachelor" tradition, broke their engagement after just a few months.

Shayne Lamas' upcoming adventures include films later this year: the sorority girl comedy "Deep in the Valley" with Denise Richards, Kim Kardashian and Scott Caan; horror flick "In the Pines"; and a coming-of-age surfing film "Endless Bummer." Shayne recently appeared in "Fanboys," a film about obsessed "Star Trek" geeks.
