Queer Eye star to host How to Look Good Naked
on Lifetime

Carson Kressley of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has signed on to host Lifetime's reality series How to Look Good Naked, reports Variety.

The new half-hour series is based on the hit British program that features one woman each episode who wants a complete body makeover. The show aims to boost the woman's confidence and improve her perception of herself without undergoing plastic surgery, exercise, or dieting.

On the British series, women submit a photo of themselves in their underwear, which is then projected on the side of a building. People walking by are asked to evaluate the large photo projection and often surprise the women by complimenting their appearance. Chris Coelen, chief executive of RDF USA, told Variety that many of the women in the British version had "a life-changing experience" by being on the show.

Executive producers Alex Fraser, Riaz Patel, and Greg Goldman will start shooting the pilot in late February. (The Advocate)
