After appearing on MTV's "The City" and The CW's "Stylista," Elle magazine's creative director, Joe Zee, takes the lead on his own show on the Sundance Channel, "All on the Line."
On the new series, Zee helps designers revamp their struggling businesses, redesign their line, and present it to major retailers.
Zee tells us the series will show fans more of what his job entails compared to the other shows he's appeared in. "I think what they've previously seen was bite-sized pieces of what I do," Zee tells Zap2it. "In 'The City,' I'm sitting there moderating between two girls or on 'Stylista,' I'm sitting there judging people on pages, but this is now working with design. You get to hear me talk about my experience, my expertise, what I can bring to something... You can actually see how I can be an authority in that world.

The CW is spinning off its hit reality series "America's Next Top Model."
The network has ordered a pilot for "Operation Fabulous," starring "Top Model" regulars Jay Manuel and J. Alexander and executive produced by "Top Model" chiefs Tyra Banks and Ken Mok.
On "Fabulous," "Jay and J," as Manuel and Alexander are called on "Top Model," will travel the country giving women makeovers. In various towns, the duo will select five participants and give them "Top Model"-style overhauls -- how to dress, wear their hair and makeup and bring out their confidence with the support of family, friends and their community.
The project, from Kristina Prods., Mok's 10x10 Entertainment and Banks' Bankable Prods., seeks to capitalize on a fan-favorite "Model" segment, when contestants are given head-to-toe high-fashion makeovers supervised by Alexander.

Tyra Banks was honored on Monday by Cosmopolitan as one of the magazine's 2008 Fun Fearless Phenom Award winners -- and "The Insider"'s Victoria Recano caught up with the host of "America's Next Top Model" and "Tyra" to find out just how fearless she is! "For the fun part, I feel I am more goofy and crazy and out there," says Tyra, who would add Angelina Jolie and Oprah Winfrey to the list of Fun Fearless women. "As for the fearless part, I am full of fear, but I think the fearless part is pushing past the fear." One way in which Tyra, who admits to being afraid of dolphins and whales, is fearless is she is not afraid to tell Victoria her weight. The former supermodel says she currently tips the scale at 159 pounds. "You can't be obsessed with a number," she says. "I am more fit than I...

Meet Anne Slowey, Elle magazine's Fashion News Director - and primetime's next Queen of Mean.
She is the star of a new reality show, "Stylista," set to debut this fall. And when the clips from her new show were screened for reporters over the weekend in La, the reaction was jaw dropping.
The show - from executive producer Tyra Banks - is more than loosely inspired by "The Devil Wears Prada." There's even a scene where Slowey emerges from an elevator wearing oversized sunglasses and tosses her coat and bags on an assistant's desk.

CW announces fall lineup
CW viewers will see a pretty familiar schedule next season.
The network is leaving Monday and Thursday nights intact, while adding only three new series to its weeknight schedule: the Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff, dubbed 90210; drama Surviving the Filthy Rich (formerly How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls); and reality show Stylista.
Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill will keep their Monday perches at 8 and 9 p.m., respectively, while Smallville will continue to lead in to Supernatural on Thursday nights.
Tuesday night will feature the all-new lineup of 90210 at 8 p.m., leading into Filthy Rich. On Wednesdays, Ameica's Next Top Model is staying put at 8 p.m., followed by Stylista, a reality show from the creators of Model and Project Runway that will feature contestants competing for an editorial job with Elle magazine.
Comedies Everybody Hates Chris and The Game will relocate from Sundays to Fridays, filling part of the void that will be left after SmackDown's move to MyNetworkTV. The comedies will air from 8-9 p.m., followed by a repeat of Model. The move is being called a "counterprogramming makeover" by the CW, which pointed out that it will offer the "only comedy option" of the night.
