A new reality show from E! and producer Ryan Seacrest gives ordinary people the chance to plead for money from rich celebrities and moguls, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In Bank of Hollywood, based on the U.K. series Fortune: Million Pound Giveaway, a panel of celebrities takes pitches from Americans in need of cash. The proposals range from a do-gooder raising money for charity to a grad student who can’t afford a ring to propose to his girlfriend. Panelists give away their own money; amounts start at $2,000.

The panel includes Hollywood socialite Candy Spelling, French-American poker player Vanessa Rousso, Wilhelmina Models president Sean Patterson and Pussycat Dolls singer Melody Thornton.

“The idea’s simple,” says Seacrest. “We are giving away tons of money to everyday people to alleviate the stress of today’s climate and have fun.”

The eight-episode series debuts Dec. 14 @ 10PM on E!
