Saved by the Bell actress Elizabeth Berkley is in talks to create a show on MTV based on Ask-Elizabeth, her empowerment program for teen girls. She’ll host workshops worldwide to build self-esteem among girls:
Amy Bailey, vice president of development in the department, said Berkley approached MTV with the idea.
“She does these workshops around the country with teen girls and gets them to really open up about their issues, like self-esteem and body issues,” Bailey said. “We had been looking for a program that tackled the same issues, so it seemed like a perfect match.”
The website is very… pink.
OK, rah-rah girl power and all that, but is Berkley really the best role model they could find? Especially after the whole Showgirls fiasco, which cursedly was before the interwebs because otherwise I’d be posting a YouTube clip here.
In related news, Screech is writing a tell-all book called Behind the Bell that promises the deets on “sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying.”
Admit it, the first two people who came to mind were Berkley and Mario Lopez. You just know they were into some kinky stuff. It’s due out next year and a surefire bestseller, so we’ll be sure to give you a full book report.
How big of a starts-with-B-rhymes-with-”witch” do you have to be before your own publicist starts slamming you? After blazing bold new trails in animal-rights activism, gold-digging, and alternative footwear, Heather Mills is now entering uncharted territory in public relations as well.
