Middle-age model boom
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — The TV Land competition series "She's Got the Look" — where contestants have to be older than 35 — is built on the idea that the modeling world is starting to pay more attention to mature women.
New celebrity judge Roshumba Williams, 42, and new host Brooke Burke, 38, know from experience that attitudes toward age are changing in the industry. They both started modeling as teens and have continued to work.
"The modeling industry today
is about the rebirth of the sophisticated woman," says Williams during an interview on the set of the TV Land series.
Williams says all you have to do is look at films like "Sex and the City," TV shows like "Housewives of ..." or 52-year-old Ellen DeGeneres as a spokeswoman for Cover Girl to see that older women are being celebrated.
Burke says she is a far more confident and happy woman in her 30s than when she was in her 20s.
"We have a lot more to offer as women than young ladies. We
know ourselves better in our 30s and on up. I don't think a younger woman has begun to figure out her life even though we think we have it all figured out," Burke says. "Thirty on up is a powerful place to be. I think women grow and continue to get better as long as they embrace that."
That's the golden rule of the reality show. It's designed to discover a beautiful, sophisticated and confident woman over the age of 35 who has the potential to transform herself into a model. The oldest contestant this season is 54.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
With a huge cast making up five households and sets taking up parts of four soundstages, the biggest challenge for art director Tim Eckel and set decorator Julianne Getman is to lend a distinct personality to each space.
The Bravermans of NBC's "Parenthood" have a boat in their foyer. So to speak.
Walk onto one of the sprawling soundstages at Universal Studios that are home to the NBC drama, which begins its second season Sept. 21, and the first thing you see is Crosby Braverman's house-boat, bobbing at the "marina," although the only actual water in sight is bottled.
Beyond the boat, TV critics visiting the "Parenthood" set last month got to poke around in bedrooms and bathrooms and even peek into fully stocked cabinets and drawers. We chatted with Adam and Kristina (Peter Krause and Monica Potter), who surprised us in their kitchen. Zeek and Camille (Craig T. Nelson and Bonnie Bedelia) served lemonade. This is one hospitable family.
They have succeeded. It's easy to tell that this is little Max
Braverman's bedroom and that that is the senior Bravermans' sunporch even if, through the magic of TV, the rooms are closer together than they ought to be. Furnishings and each little thotchoke have been chosen to make each space look both personal and comfortably lived in.
The cast settled in during last spring's initial run, and beginning the new season felt like coming home, they say. Potter enjoys Kristina's spacious kitchen, decorated in sleek but home northern California style, although it makes her feel somehow that she should be a better cook. Bedelia loves to curl up on a swing on Camille's sunporch.
Beyond the soundstages,
"Parenthood" also sprawls outside,
to a big dining table where all of the Bravermans gather for barbecues and banter.
Before we could join them for chicken and burgers, though everyone sat down to talk about the show.
A family atmosphere prevailed as 16 cast members settled into director's chairs.
Actually, executive producer Jason Katims said, "Writing for the show is an embarrassment of riches, and you can see it right here in front of you. It's a big challenge but also what makes the show so wonderful."

Man relishes in reptile reputation
Lizardman leapt at the chance to become a Ripley's Believe it or Not! attraction.
"Who wouldn't want their own statue?" said Erik Sprague, 38, whose body is covered in green tattoos that resemble lizard skin.
Since Monday, artists at Ripley Entertainment headquarters in Orlando have been making molds of Lizardman for an upcoming exhibit.
For more than 15 years, Lizardman has been transforming his body with green, scale-like tattoos.
Sprague has also filed his teeth to sharpened points, surgically split his tongue and implanted Teflon bumps above his eyebrows.
He considers his life's work an art project, he said, and has spent more than $250,000 to alter his appearance.
