The "Legally Blonde" Search Begins

Not to tread on my pal Angela's excellent Stay Tuned blog, but I neglected to mention a stage-related show that MTV started tonight. It's a new reality show that plans to fill some talented shoes.

The show is called Legally Blonde the Musical: The Search for Elle Woods. Yep, similar to the Grease: You're the One That I Want show, this show has 10 aspiring actresses competing to fill the Broadway role played by Kentucky's Laura Bell Bundy - and that's a heck of a tall order.

Actress Haylie Duff (sister to Hilary Duff, of course) serves as host.

Since we're talking MTV here, the show will no doubt air again and again. We'll have to wait and see if it's anywhere near as annoying at the Grease show was.

The show Legally Blonde deserves better because, frankly, it's a great show (I know, it surprised me, too).
