MARY CAREY - NEW REALITY TV SHOW TO FIND PORN STAR

America TV viewers are bracing themselves for the raunchiest reality show to date - a talent search for a porn star.

MARY CAREY, the adult film actress who lost out on her recent bid to become Governor of California, is among the hosts of CAN YOU BE A PORNSTAR?, joining TABITHA STEVENS and GINGER LYNN.

SILHOUETTE PRODUCTIONS plans to shoot seven one-hour shows, and expects to start broadcasting on iN DEMAND NETWORKS and other pay-per-view channels on 8 January (03).

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 ($62,500).

Silhouette Productions chief executive officer HARRY FEINGOLD says, "It's going to be an R-rated version for pay-per-view. Obviously, there will be outtakes that will be hardcore, which will likely turn up on DVD release later".

In each episode, four women arrive at a house in Los Angeles for photo shoots, interviews and "surprises". Viewers will help pick eight finalists for a 90-minute finale.
