LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
If you think the teaming
of Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher sounds like something out of a
reality show, you're not far off. The pair are joining forces
to create an unscripted series for ABC.
The as-yet-untitled project will feature contestants
competing in a beauty pageant. Naturally there's a twist, but
the network has requested that the concept remain under wraps
because the show hasn't started production.
ABC has ordered eight episodes from the duo's respective
production companies.
Kutcher is behind MTV's "Punk'd" and the CW's "Beauty and
the Geek," while Banks executive produces the CW's top-rated
"America's Next Top Model" as well as an upcoming CW project in
which contestants compete to become assistant editors at a
fashion magazine.
Also, the Style Network said Tuesday that it has acquired
the rights to Kutcher's hidden-camera comedy series "The Real
Wedding Crashers." The show had a short-lived run last year on
NBC.
