American Ugly Pilot Heads for VH1 - with Jane Pratt

BuzzSugar — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 11:31:18 PST

A while back, I bemoaned the potential existence of a VH1 reality show following "ugly ducklings" in the glam worlds of fashion and modeling. Now, it sounds like the show is a go - and it's going to be even more like Ugly Betty than the initial description made it sound.

The show, now called American Ugly, will reportedly follow unfashionable women trying to run a fashion magazine. Their advisers: stylist Phillip Block and Sassy and Jane founder Jane Pratt - who, apparently, came to the show only after a couple of other editors turned it down.

Update: Pratt is only appearing in the pilot as a favor, but if the show gets picked up, another editor will take over going forward.

Granted, I haven't seen the show, but my gut reaction is that it's going to be demeaning, and it bugs me that Pratt's signed on - even if it's just for the pilot. Isn't this the woman who started a magazine empire around the idea that women should love who they are? Maybe it will turn out to be an empowering, uplifting thing - Betty is the hero of Ugly Betty, after all - but this is the network that brought us I Love New York, so I have my doubts.

Jane Pratt Gets Sirius

BuzzSugar — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 04:20:48 PDT

Jane Pratt, founder of women's magazines Sassy and Jane, is set to launch a weekly radio show on Sirius satellite radio this fall. Called "Jane Radio," the three-hour live program will feature everything from current events and discussions on popular music to a segment called "Jane Needs Help" in which Pratt solicits the advice of her listeners.

According to the press release, Pratt wants this show to be like a girlfriend dish session, in which women can speak candidly as though no men are listening. She immediately goes on to say, however, that she hopes men will be listening - and will learn a thing or two.

I had a near-religious devotion to Sassy, and I still have fond memories of the early issues of Jane so I'll probably tune in for Pratt's show. For more details,

I'm of the belief that Jane helped to change the face of women's publications - at least for a while. In particular, I think the magazine introduced a smart, hip, and funny voice that had not previously been heard in the mainstream magazine world.

Hopefully, Pratt will add this voice to the lineup of what Sirius calls its "women's programming," which apparently includes shows by Barbara Walters, Candace Bushnell, and ... Richard Simmons.

Side note: Pop informed me today that Pratt recently claimed to have once slept with Drew Barrymore. So, there's that.
