The "R" List: Chatting With 'Married to Rock' Stars Perry & Etty Farrell

Follow The Apprentice alum Jenn Hoffman, reality star turned-reality reporter on her adventures in Hollywood. She’ll dish on all the gossip, rumors, events, sightings and other craziness in the reality TV world. Forget the A-list — this is all about the R(eality)- list!

I’ll never forget my first Jane’s Addiction album. I was in elementary school but already developed a real interest in rock music at a very young age.

Fast forward 20 years later and Perry Farrell is still going strong. He is still making music, still performing and is now part of a new reality show on E!, Married to Rock. I caught up with Perry and his adorable wife Etty at the Lotus car launch event in Beverly Hills. Since the show focuses more on Etty than Perry, I got the inside scoop on what it’s like for Perry to now be part of his wife’s newfound fame.

Etty: Well, no. At home when they show us having breakfast at the Ritz we’re not like “let’s order this for TV.” We just do what we would be doing.

I get it. It sounds like you are saying you are naturally like this, and interesting. So with or without cameras you are naturally always putting on a show.

Perry: Yeah. It’s easy.

So what’s your favorite part of being a couple?

Etty: To have somebody that loves you and to be completely supportive of you in the best of times and the worst of times. And besides the weather is changing. It’s nice to have someone who you can stick your cold feet up against at night.

Aww, that’s sweet! Who knew rock stars could be so sweet? What sets this show apart from the Real Housewives series?

Etty: I think the first thing that sets it apart is because our husbands are already well known musicians. The Real Housewives might not understand the whole public life they’re thrust into but we’re kind of used to it. This is something we’ve always been a part of but in the background. So in that regard it’s not like a housewives show.

What are some surprises we can expect? I mean I know you can’t reveal anything but throw me a bone here.

Etty: Some surprises, you know, the one surprise is that there are no catfights. When you have four women who work together, clearly there’s gonna be a little bit of cattiness but I d think that a rock wives it’s such a small group, and there are so many people trying to take you down or tear you apart that you feel more powerful and secure as a group. We need each other more as friends.

Perry: You are not bothering us. Thank you.

Keep it real!
