VH1 to create Ugly Betty reality show
by Annie Wu, posted Jul 2nd 2007 9:03AM
As if to completely distance themselves from their former "Music First" ideology and forget about music-related programming forever, VH1 has another reality show in the works. It is called America The Ugly, inspired by ABC's Ugly Betty, and will attempt to find out what happens when real unattractive, unstylish women try to make it in the fashion and modeling world. As if that experience alone wouldn't be soul-crushing enough, VH1 has thrown in a real-life Wilhelmina, The Agency's Becky Southwick, to guarantee maximum bitchiness.Hayek wants to bring Colombian miniseries to US

I'm
not easily persuaded into liking things, unless the person doing the persuading is Salma Hayek. Since she's gorgeous
I'll pretty much do whatever she wants andenjoy whatever she says is good. Having said that, I'm really excited about
the possibility of the Colombian miniseries Betty La Fea being turned into an American series. Hayek is
apparently a big fan of the show and wants to turn American audiences on to it. Salma, I'm already turned on, and I
don't even know what the hell the show is about. Damn, you're good.Things I Hate About TV: Telenovelas

They're cheesy. They're corny. And now they're coming to America. Soap operas are bad enough.
Spanish soap operas are even worse. They're long, the plots are always ridiculous and convoluted, and they're
Spanish. Did I mention Spanish? Everyone falls in love and as Seth on The OC so aptly put, they always seem to
be about some guy named Victor and his handle-bar moustache.
