Christina El Moussa of Flip or Flop fame is getting her own show, Christina on the Coast, dedicated purely to design. I don’t know this woman, but I’m thrilled for her that she can devote at least some of her working hours to a project that doesn’t involve her ex-husband, which seems hideously stressful.
