Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Hate me because because I stole Zac Efron's hairstyle. Josiah stars in Bravo's "Make me a Supermodel."

If you enjoy the "Ameircan Idol" humiliation round -- the opening episodes that spend more time with people who can't sing than those who can -- you might be drawn to tonight's "Make Me a Supermodel" casting special (11 tonight, Bravo). The series itself premieres at 10 p.m. Jan. 10 with models Nikki Taylor and Tyson Beckford as hosts.

Unlike The CW's "America's Next Top Model," which features only female contestants, "Supermodel" seeks both hottie girls and boys. The Top 14 finalists will be selected on tonight's casting show, but only after some people who are clearly not model material are embarrassed for viewers' amusement.

"I've been two months with a modeling agency," says one awkward girl. "Well, legitimate modeling."

Okaaaay.




The CW's "Gossip Girl" (9 tonight, WPCW) airs a new episode tonight about the Upper East Side kids getting in trouble after breaking into the school pool for a drug and alcohol-fueled party. It all goes wrong when a kid gets hurt and a hunt for who broke into the facility ensues.

And on the "ewww" front, scummy Chuck (Ed Westwick) suggests to soon-to-be step-sister Serena (Blake Lively) that they embark on a quai-incestuous relationship.

"Gossip Girl" will never be mistaken for quality TV -- the dialogue alone is too cheesy for that -- but it's a decent guilty pleasure for fans of teen dramas.
