*The CW network has ordered a pilot for "Operation Fabulous," a spinoff to its popular reality series "America's Next Top Model" that would star the show's standout fashion experts Jay Manuel and J. Alexander.
Executive produced by "Top Model" chiefs Tyra Banks and Ken Mok, "Fabulous" will have the two "Jays" travel the country giving women makeovers.
Jay Manuel tells E! Online that each episode will feature five women from one town who get fashion overhauls and compete until one of them is singled out as the winner from that town. From there, the winners from each town will go on to compete in a "bigger competition," and in the end, that final winner will get a makeover...for their hometown.
Manuel also tells E! Online the series should not be referred to as a "spinoff," stating: "I can definitely say that. This is a new series that is a separate world from 'Model' and will really help women try to elevate their lives."
As for "Top Model," Manuel says they will remain with the series, which already has a contractual pickup for three more seasons. Manuel is the creative director of the show's photo shoots; Alexander is a runway expert who has been a judge for the past few seasons.
"Model" airs twice a year on the CW. Although ratings have dropped in recent years, the reality show remains the network's highest-rated series.
"Fabulous" would mark the third fashion-themed reality series on CW from Banks and Mok, who also executive produce the network's series "Stylista," slated to debut Oct. 22, which features contestants vying for an editorial position at Elle magazine.
