Mia Tyler- Judge - "Pretty Wicked"
Do you use your looks to get ahead, get out of a traffic ticket, get a job, land a boyfriend or cut through the line at a trendy club? Ten divas from Oxygen's newest competition reality series 'Pretty Wicked' answer yes to all of the above. "Pretty Wicked" puts looks aside and has these prima donnas compete to see who is the most beautiful on the inside for a grand prize of $50,000. Upon their arrival in the house, the rules of the game change when they find out that in THIS competition their looks are meaningless. The girls are challenged to confront their mean-spirited ways in a series of challenges designed to "beautify" their insides to match their outside. Over their time together, emotions flare and tempers soar when these mean girls must tap their inner beauty to win their way to the top. The 'pretty' girl who shows the greatest transformation by series' end wins the grand prize. CariDee English, winner of the seventh season of "America’s Next Top Model," serves as host alongside three celebrity judges – plus-sized model and published author Mia Tyler, Beverly Hills psychotherapist and radio talk show host Dr. Jenn Berman and comedian/author Kyle Cease ("Not Another Teen Movie").
