Follow the Lamases? That’s up to you.

“Leave It to Lamas,’’ E!’s new series premiering tomorrow night at 11, comes from “Bachelor’’ executive producer Mike Fleiss and tells the story of Shayne and her not-really-all-that-famous-anymore family. Largely, it appears to track Shayne’s shopping and beauty regimen, so we can watch her try to sip a Cosmopolitan while her manicure dries.

To the extent that there’s a plot, it centers on Shayne’s efforts to get her father to reconcile with her brother A.J. Apparently, A.J. broke up her father’s most recent marriage by sleeping with his wife, a story Shayne discovers in a tabloid in tonight’s premiere. She’s upset - “This is, like, ripping my family apart right now,’’ she tells a friend blithely - but she’s also glad the magazine includes a picture of her in cute shoes.

And so it goes. Shayne stumbles around in platform heels, talks in a perpetual whine, and doesn’t know how to work a microwave oven. Her mother, Michele, who looks like one of those cougars mocked on “Saturday Night Live,’’ talks constantly about menopause and stands naked in front of the refrigerator to ward off hot flashes. Her brother mumbles incomprehensibly. Her father, the erstwhile soap opera star, now has a skeevy mustache.

If there’s anything enlightening about this show, it’s the fact that the Lamas family apparently invested its fortunes wisely. There’s little other way to explain how a woman with no apparent talents can live in such luxury, in a fabulous contemporary Los Angeles home, while trying out for roles in bad horror movies.

But that’s hardly enough to make Shayne worth rooting for. Tonight’s premiere ends on what’s meant to be a heartwarming note; we’re supposed to think these Lamases are lovable, even as we mock them. Like the rich-starlet shows before it, “Leave It to Lamas’’ is based on an uncomfortable power calculation. These people are losers, but they’re losers with television shows, so does that make them better or worse than you and me?

That answer depends on whether you watch. Do you want to give up a half-hour of your life in support of Shayne Lamas’s career? The choice is entirely yours.
