America's Next Top Model stars Jay Manuel and J. Alexander have inked a new reality show to be released on The CW.
Executive produced by "Top Model" chiefs Tyra Banks and Ken Mok, "Operation Fabulous," "Jay and J," as Manuel and Alexander are called on "Top Model," will
travel the country giving women makeovers.
In various towns, the duo
will select five participants and give them "Top Model"-style overhauls
-- how to dress, wear their hair and makeup and bring out their
confidence with the support of family, friends and their community.
The project serves as a spin-off of a fan-favorite "Model" segment, when
contestants are given head-to-toe high-fashion makeovers supervised by
Alexander.
Manuel and Alexander have been with "Model" since the series' debut on
UPN in 2003.
Manuel is the creative director of show's photo shoots;
Alexander is a runway expert who has been a judge for the past few
seasons.
"Model" airs twice a year on the CW.
"Fabulous" would mark the third fashion-themed reality series on CW
from Banks and Mok, who also executive produce the network's series
"Stylista," slated to debut October 22, which features contestants
vying for an editorial position at Elle magazine.
