Legally Blonde Takes on a 9th Life as a Reality Show

It started out as a film. Then there was a sequel. Then it went to Broadway and was aired live on MTV and subsequently nominated for an Emmy. Now, draining what has to be the last of the Elle Woods enterprise, MTV is airing a Legally Blonde reality show a la last year's NBC series You're the One that I Want (which cast the leads for a revival of Grease), but this time girls will audition to replace the current Elle Woods on Broadway, Laura Bell Bundy. The host of the show will be Haylie Duff (sister of Hilary) who has played the evil Amber Von Tussle in Hairspray on Broadway. It will air on Mondays in The Hills spot (10 p.m.) starting June 2nd. Oh my Goodness this sounds like more fun than a beach themed fraternity mixer!
