Former intern pops up again as host of new Fox reality show
Just when you might have begun to think it was safe to turn on your television once again, there comes this news....
[Insert gratuitous blue dress and cigar jokes here, if you are so inclined.]
Monica Lewinsky, the former presidential mistress who alternately runs from and toward celebrity, has signed to host Fox's next reality series, Mr. Personality. The show gets the coveted Joe Millionaire Monday time slot, starting April 21.
In Mr. Personality, a young, beautiful single woman will court several eligible men who must rely strictly on their personalities to captivate her. That's because each man will have some sort of mask or hood on throughout the "dating" process.
A year ago, after appearing on Tom Green's show, attending the Oscars, hosting Saturday Night Live, giving not one but two prime-time interviews to Barbara Walters and shooting the HBO documentary Monica in Black and White, Lewinsky told TV reporters she "would do anything to have my anonymity back."
OK, and this is certainly one way to get her precious anonymity back (not). Funny, I'd thought that Ms. Lewinsky's 15 minutes were up long ago. I suppose this only goes to prove that time really IS relative, especially in Hollywood.

I do love Fox' description of her. At this rate, within a few years, her resume will list her as an expert in biophyics who is involved in finding a cure for cancer. For now, though, I suppose hosting a cheesy reality show will have to do. Enjoy your anonymity, Monica....
