The famed Kardashian clan is getting next-door reality show competition with “Calabasas Confidential.”
The bougie star-haven in the Santa Monica Mountains — the epicenter of the Kardashian reality empire — hosts a new set of camera-ready, aspiring reality superstars, ready to reveal their family’s mansions, their dreams and their scandals in the Netflix reality series (now streaming).
Though the series follows the reunited classmates of Calabasas High School, some of its stars are already semi-famous due to their relatives, including rocker resident and Poison frontman Bret Michaels and rapper Master P.
Here’s the breakdown of the family relations:
Raine Michaels, daughter of rocker Bret Michaels
Fame connection: Model Raine Michaels, the daughter of Bret Michaels and Kristi Lynn Gibson (who broke up in 2012), moved to Calabasas in the eighth grade. To show her Calabasas cred, vegan Michaels, 25, does Pilates daily and eats the kale and white bean salad from Erewon.
Biggest claim to fame: At age 18, Michaels won a coveted spot in the famed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition for 2019.

The drama spilled into Jodie’s life as well, with haters DMing the younger sister. “I think I have PTSD because of it,” Jodie says in Episode 1.
