AUSTIN POWERS - MINI-ME GETS A REALITY SHOW

AUSTIN POWERS star VERNE TROYER has landed his own reality comedy show on TV in America - as one of three little people living and working in Hollywood.

Troyer, who played MINI-ME in the Austin Powers movies, will be joined by real-life buddies and fellow little actors ELENA and PHIL FONDACARO in the show LIFE IS TOO SHORT, which will be based in the trio's San Fernando Valley home that has been specially built to accommodate their size.

Series co-creator JEFF GASPIN says, "That's a world we're not privy to. We don't have to deal with the things they do."
