(AP) A new reality TV show asks the question: "Can YOU Be A Porn Star?"
Mary Carey, the porn actress who ran for California governor in the recent recall election, is among the hosts, joining fellow adult-film stars Tabitha Stevens and Ginger Lynn.
Silhouette Productions announced plans Monday to shoot seven one-hour shows, with plans to start broadcasting on iN DEMAND Networks and other pay-per-view channels on Jan. 8.
A group of 28 women will compete for a one-year contract with a major adult video distributor and a cash prize of $100,000.
"It's going to be an R-rated version for pay-per-view," Silhouette Productions chief executive officer Harry Feingold told The Associated Press. "Obviously, there will be outtakes that will be hardcore," which will likely turn up on DVD release later.
"It's like `Paradise Hotel,' when they go behind the scenes. Everybody wants to know what's going on. Well, here you see it," he said, referring to the Fox network reality series about young people trying to seduce each other.
In each episode, four women arrive at a house in Los Angeles for photo shoots, interviews and "surprises," according to Silhouette. Viewers will help pick eight finalists for a 90-minute finale.
The statement promised "uninhibited nudity and sizzling sexuality," while the show's official Web site said it would feature "Real people having real sex!"
"Pay-per-view gives us the freedom to take reality television where it has never gone before," Feingold said. "The last stigma today for audiences isn't renting adult films, it's admitting it, and this series offers viewers a fun, behind-the-scenes look at the star-making process in a multi-billion dollar industry."
He added that the show is designed "not just for men, but for wives and girlfriends who enjoy both reality TV and adult entertainment."
LOL! And Bill Clinton is honest.
Plus some between-the-sheets action with The Hedgehog.
That'll get my wife interested in watching it.
Where is Betsy Ross when you need her?
Yep the world is coming to a end, even second rate pornstars are getting tv show now. At least if Ron Jermey was hosting the show people will know who he is. She is just another blonde woman with large ta-ta's. Nothing helps out a porn career like running for governor I guess.
