The queen of television guest appearances, Morgan Fairchild -- she's appeared on dozens and dozens of diverse shows such as “Mork & Mindy,” “Friends,” and “Roswell” -- is going to be making history for My Network.

Fairchild is joining another timeless beauty, Bo Derek, on “Fashion House”-- the channel's new English-language telenovela debuting in September. Fairchild plays Sophia Blakely, the arch-nemesis of Derek's character, Maria Gianni, in the fashion business.

''This has been fun,'' said Fairchild, who's already shot some scenes with Derek, said. Derek is very game. We're having a very good time doing our knockdown, drag-out ... fights. It's always fun to do it with someone who gets into it.''

Fairchild said she likes to stay on the industry's cutting edge and was intrigued by My Network, which is launching in September on channels displaced by UPN's closing. My Network TV is showing a prime-time lineup of soap operas that air five nights a week, modeled after the telenovela format that is popular worldwide.

''I'm always trying to find new ways to catch my audience off-guard,'' she said.

Fashion is the worst show of all time ... Bo Derek does NOT know how to act, although she tries her best to copy Linda Evans. She's like a newcomer rather than a pro. Boo Bo!!!!!!

I agree w/dgreen re Bo Derek. She has got to be one of the worse actresses of all time, and why TV picks her up every now and then for a show is beyond me. These TV "novellas" really need to be cancelled. Fashion House is bad followed by Desire. They cannot surpass daytime soaps.
