MTV's Latest Heartfelt Message to Girls: Lose 80 Pounds in 3 Months! [Health]
Though MTV spent the earlier part of this week teaching men how to emotionally manipulate their girlfriends, it's got plenty of advice to dole out to women, too. Why, just have a gander at the casting call for the network's upcoming entry in the crowded "model reality" genre! In what could be a first for the network, they're looking to cast the show solely with overweight women, but there's a catch: those women will be expected to lose up to 80 pounds in just 12 dangerous weeks. Says ABC News:

"Anything more than 25 pounds in 12 weeks is really over-stepping the boundaries," said obesity expert Keith Ayoob of the show's promise to help the aspiring models lose as much as 80 pounds in three months.

..."MTV is looking for girls willing to shed the pounds (30-80 lbs), become a model and win $100,000!" reads the casting call announcement on MTV's Web site.

"We are looking for girls with a great attitude, a pretty face and the endurance to sweat off the pounds during a 3 month boot camp style show," the announcement reads.

In other, vaguely related news, Ish Entertainment has announced its plans to shoot a UK version of the upcoming Paris Hilton's New BFF, a reality competition that debuts on MTV next month and stars the stick-thin socialite. We eagerly look forward to a crossover episode where Hilton coaches the wannabe models on their best purging techniques, bestowing on only one lucky girl a murmured, vomit-stained "Loves it."
