Ashton Kutcher: So IBBB reader, Laurie, emailed me to see if she could recap True Beauty. I figured, why not. And, I also figured that if I do this I'm pretty much as good as the people who started the Make a Wish Foundation. Same thing, right? I'm making dreams come true to people without diseases. This is sure to get me right into heaven. Check out Laurie's recap below. Oh, and if you hate it....I had nothing to do with it. Oh, and if you love it.....I'm good as spotting talent.Alright, so this is my first recap of True Beauty and going into I knew two things. 1. It is being produced by Ashton Kutcher and Tyra Banks, so it's favorable that there would be unintentional comedy and also a certain air of d-bagishness. 2. That the show was essentially an America's Next Top Model rip-off but with a twist. Kind of like a stale beer with a lemon.The premiere starts with Vanessa Minnillo, famous for having sex with Nick Lachey and also for being a former Miss Teen USA, explain the competition. In short, 10 contestants will compete against one another to find "America's Most Beautiful Person." The contestants believe it is a straight up beauty competition, but not so fast, because those originality masters over at ABC are also testing contestants on their inner beauty, mostly by hiding secret cameras and planting actors in various situations to see how these losers react when faced with moral dilemmas like "should I help, or just stare blankly in another direction." The winner receives $100,000 and a chance to be featured in People Magazine's Most Beautiful People issue.The judges are Vanessa Minnillo, loser, Nole Marin, formally of the first few seasons of ANTM where he would fight endlessly with Janice Dickson and also comment on the girl's weight, which I will admit having an issue with based solely on the fact that Nole Marin looks like a puffin, and finally Cheryl Tiegs, who they have dubbed, "America's First REAL Supermodel." That was clearly a dig Janice by Tyra Banks. We are five minutes into an hour long episode and I am already thinking about how much I hate Tyra Banks….maybe this wasn't such a great idea.Let's meet the contestants, shall we:Laura Leigh

Giulia Rozzi: ABC's True Beauty is Not So Cute
My mind is mush this morning. Why, you ask? Nope, it's not the lack of sleep and over indulgence of party-times from last week.
