NEW YORK (CNN/Money) -
NBC-owned cable network Bravo is planning a spin-off of its popular "Queer Eye" show next year when it debuts "Queer Eye for the Straight Girl," according to a published report.
The entertainment industry trade publication Variety reported that Bravo has signed up for 13 episodes of the show, which follows on the success of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," which has been a hit on both Bravo and NBC, as five homosexual men give advice on areas such as clothing, interior decorating and hair styles to frumpy-looking straight men.
Variety said that for "Straight Girl" a new team of gay lifestyle coaches will give the same type of advice to frumpy women. It reported casting is under way for a debut next year. It did not report whether the coaches would be male or female. It did say the team of likely three coaches would cover different areas than the Fab Five.
"Guys need the basics, the 101 information, whereas women are much more discriminating," Variety quotes creator and executive producer David Collins as saying. "They know the basics, they want options, ways to amp it up a little. However, the 'Queer Eye' make-better philosophy will still be intact."
