First, Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone writes a memoir about being her brother. And now, the New York Post reports he's shopping around a reality show about the same exact thing.

At this point, anything is believable between these feuding siblings.

But, alas, only the book will be slinging the mud. The reality show is about something completely different, a source exclusively reveals.

Ciccone's reality-show idea is centered around interior design, the source reports. He has already been shooting around Los Angeles at various stores, including a Home Depot and 99¢ Only and Anna's Linens stores. "He's clearly not there shopping for his typical clientele," the source said.

I'm told Ciccone and his team are referring to the show concept as a "design intervention."

Ciccone's design projects have included Madonna's apartment on New York's Upper West Side, some high-end condominium complexes in Miami and numerous restaurants. He also appeared on an episode of Bravo's Top Chef Miami to assist contestants in a restaurant-design challenge.

The memoir, Life With My Sister, will be released July 15.
