Showgirl Gets MTV Reality Show

Filed under: TV News > MTV

jessiespano.jpg

She's quite the busy bee these days!

MTV is developing an "unscripted" project with former Saved by the Bell star Elizabeth Berkley and her husband, artist Greg Lauren (yes, he's related to Ralph).

It will be based on Ask-Elizabeth, the self-esteem workshops for teen girls that Berkley created.

Berkley has volunteered her time facilitating Ask-Elizabeth workshops in schools and for organizations around the country for 2 1/2 years. The workshops strive to help empower girls.

Who knew the Showgirl was such a giver?

Girl power!

An MTV suit said, "She does these workshops around the country with teen girls and gets them to really open up about their issues, like self-esteem and body issues. We had been looking for a program that tackled the same issues, so it seemed like a perfect match."

MTV is hoping to shoot the pilot in the fall.

Berkley is also acting again and she must have hired herself a new publicist!

    Greg Lauren = Ralph Lauren's brother? Lauren isn't even Ralph's real last name. Lipshitz is. The Brother is using the same fake name? I could see if the name Lauren was so rare that the connection to Ralph Lauren would be obvious, but is it? I wouldn't have made the connection if i hadn't been pointed out.

    She should give Screech and Zack a job on the show. I think they need the $$$$.

    girl power-just don't watch old 'saved by the bell' when she is yelling about women's rights and runs around in a bikini. Anyway, bet Screech is upset, he has been hitting for a show since he was on celebrity fit club. Heard he went even lower by writing a 'sex tell all' about 'Saved'

    Wow!!! A reality show with substance. This is shocking. The sad part is it probably will flop.

    isn't it a bit of a waste to try and build someone's self esteem. Isn't the lack of self esteem coming from an ego that is out of control? therefore wouldn't is be better to erase the ego? That would mean self esteem is perfected. In cae you wondering the ego is that nagging voice you observe in your head that says you aren't good enough and Pez is a fat ugly fag and everyone is full of shit and I hate my life and blah blah blah. Pretty much it is the ugly in everyone that sees the ugly in everyone else. without all the ego in the world we would be at peace and there would be no need to help little girls imrove their self esteem.

    In other words the part of you that would decide that I am wrong and you know better is the part that has everyone fucked up. We all need to turn off that part of us that constantly evaluates everything based on what our "education" or life experience has trained us to think. just be, let it be and turn off you television for Christ sake.

    So….just out of curiosity, what kind of advice does she give these little ones?
    Is it something like, "hey–if you're a mediocre talent, at best, and you want to take a short cut to stardom, use your body! Instead of developing your craft and having self respect, appear nude in a film and simulate sex! This will get you the attention and money you crave!! Hey, it's the equivalent of being in a porno, but just maybe, as a result, Woody Allen will come calling"
    I think that's about all she has to offer.

    Why not strive to empower all teenagers, why make it an all girl issue. Boys have self esteem issues too.

    Re: ken – What you are sayong is a bunch of crap.If you are quoting psychoanalytic theory, the ego that you are describing has nothing to do with psychoanalytic ego.Trying to appear sophisticated, but some people who know about psychology have figured u out! Please do some research on your terminology before yo open your mouth!MORON

    Somebody needs to make Showgirls into a Broadway show like they did Xanadu. It could include the show-stoppers "It's a Ver-sayce!" and "You Ate All the Chips (Didn't You)"

    I must say she is one of the most breath takingly beautiful, gracious people out there. When I was a kid we were on a New York city trip (also with an additional 30 French exchanged students). Elizabeth stopped to sign everyones autographs (though she seemed to be in a rush), gave hugs, spoke to everyone, and take some pictures, this was at the hight of her popularity on SBTB.



  38. 38

    Does she teach Pole Dancing at the Workshops too? Who Wants to watch a reality show about a person from Saved by the bell? It sounds Horribly Boring! I'm sure if it ever does air we won't see season 2….Unless she is teaching Pole Dancing and then she'd Prob. Partner up with Tila Tequila for the Second Season of her show.

    Re: Andre – the mere fact that you want to be right and me be wrong is your ego that is out of control. If you could let me be as i will let you be there would be no conflict in the world. You seem to want to be the all knowing, I am just providing information. Do with it as you see fit.Re: Tommy – has nothing to do with anything, I don't even know about scientology. I do know that conflict comes from the ego so I thought I would try and share some stuff with all those who love conflict on this blog. Perhaps you can reflect on why your lack of self esteem wants to attack someone with perfectly good intentions.

    how does she explain exploiting herself and women in Showgirl. i'm sure she'll play a slut on the L word too.

    If Elizabeth didn't crawl into a hole after being in "Showgirls", she's obviously got great self-esteem.

    This girl is beautiful and a pretty good actress. You have a reputation of being a decent girl, keep it, over the long run it will pay off. I crack up when I see these little girls try to be Paris Hilton. They are just playing a part they can't handle. Paris is the Real Deal when it comes to party girls, when the wannabees can't keep their eyes open Paris is just warming up. Paris isn't playing a part at being Paris Hilton… Paris IS THE REAL THING..

    Strange that they call it unscripted… I work at a bowling alley and MTV called to see if they could film a show about girls with low self esteem there. They came in on some random sunday a few weeks ago. Anyways, they kept having people do scenes over and over again. I didn't see Jesse Spano there, but I'm guessing it's the same show. It might turn out good, but it's definitely scripted.
