Premieres tonight 8:00/7:00C Set in the glitter of Tinsel Town, The Starlet, has one purpose - to discover the next young actress with the potential to become a major star. Watch as 10 beautiful aspiring actresses live in the same house and compete against each other for the chance to become 2005's next big thing. In order to be named the quintessential Hollywood "It" girl, one of the contestants must prove she's got more talent, more star quality and more attitude than all the rest by surviving an intense Hollywood boot camp, complete with harrowing acting classes, agonizing live performances and brutally honest critiques by a panel of judges including Academy Award-winning actress Faye Dunaway ("Bonnie and Clyde," "Chinatown," "Network"), Vivica A. Fox ("Kill Bill, Volume 1," "Independence Day," "Soul Food") and famed casting director Joseph Middleton ("Mr. And Mrs. Smith," "Legally Blonde," "The Bourne Identity"). In this episode, the 10 young women are judged on their ability to tap into their emotions when they do a scene from The WB's hit drama "Smallville," opposite actor Adam LaVorgna, at the famous Bronson Caves in Griffith Park. After critiquing their screen tests, the judges eliminate two actresses. The prize is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: a career-launching role on The WB's hit drama One Tree Hill, a one-year management contract with 3 Arts Entertainment and an overall talent deal with The WB.

It was very good. I will definitely watch again. Not mean at all. Big range of talent. In real life half would be eliminated the first round.

"The Diva" suite...cracked me up. Do they really want to mold their Starlet into becoming a diva? I don't remember the names off hand but Mercedes did stick out as being the best actress so far. The judges were a little tough but I think it's good for the wannbe actresses. I wonder how long before they start badmouthing each other and I wonder if the “Diva Suite” will cause friction and cattiness. I'll watch again. I'll have to check out the TV listings because at the very end I thought I heard a voice over saying something about being on Tuesdays???

I liked it too. With the influx of wanna be's hogging up all the good reality show spots (Survivor, BB and even TAR), I've been saying, "man, they need a show of their own where they actually say I want to be an actor! Hope the attitude girl got a wake up call. You could tell she was just as perplexed about not getting axed as she was when she was getting the feedback.

Thanks, Rslover. I may have to miss the second episode tomorrow night. If I do, I'll catch it on Thursday. I too thought Mercedes stood out from the rest last night. Hope she continues to do well.

Just saw the second episode. Didn't care for it at all. Asking these women to kiss in a lesbian scene is way too much for relatively inexperienced actresses. Seems to me they're not looking for a starlet--they're looking for Meryl Streep at her best.

I like this show too. I really didn't think I would but....... reality tv junky that I am just can't help myself!!! LOL I didn't care for the girls kissing either but my daughter reminded me that 1 of the prizes are a role on One Tree Hill (which the whole family watches). And on there this girl named Anna thinks she is a lesbian so we think that they are looking for a girlfriend for Anna. So I think it makes since to see if the starlet would be comfortable with it

The girls kissing was talked about on a Chicago radio station where I guy DJ's were loving the girl on girl kissing. But funny they weren't the ones that actually watched the show. I guessing that scene was done for the titilation aspct (;)). The show is as bad as it get which is what makes it good reality TV. I didn't realize how young these ahem ladies are.

The following disclaimer was probably shown at the end of previous shows. I didn't notice it until tonight. "Final decisions regarding contest winners were made by the panelists in consultation with the producers." Is that to be expected?

Yes, Puzzled. This reality show may not be so real.

They had that same disclaimer for Project Runway. That is why people who lack skill but cause drama can go far in these shows.

Is Katie the blonde? I know the other blond is from S. Africa and has the accent and there's the younger one who's name i can't remember but it was like two names or something and it was long. I think one of the darker haired girls will win- Mercedes or...I can't remember her name either. i think it starts with a J. They're competing for a spot on One tree hill- i'm trying to figure which girl seems most likely to fit in a role on that show and i think the darker haired ones fit that show better.

Mercedes is scripted to win. Such a good actress who last week was "nervous" about the lesbian kiss. She has a good figure. The sarong was written in so that she would not win this week.

I think the younger girl looks like Winona Rider's little sister. I wonder if that is a plus or a minus when you want to be The Starlet.

I keep thinking that Katie is from America's Top Model. Since I have only caught bits and pieces, is that correct?

I only saw a little bit of this, there is one girl on there that looks exactly like Melanie Griffith.

If you mean Michelynne, I think she is way better looking than Melanie. I hope she wins.

Guess what I found strange about last night's show was that I didn't think that scene was all that funny at all. Take out the laugh tracks and the original scene is just so-so. It worked on "Friend" because everyone knew the characters and they had rapport.

I would have liked this show better if 1. It had a better time slot. 2. There had been more of Ms. Dunaway.

Mercedes acted better, but Michelynne is who was needed for One Tree Hill. A lot of this season seemed to be scripted. Much easier when the contestants really are actresses.

I think so too- I didn't like Katie at all. She was too full of herself. Confidence is good, but too much is obnoxious. Mercedes I liked but she looked too old for One Tree Hill. She needs more of an adult role. Michelynn seems like a sweet girl and she's young enough for that show. That last screen test they did (the one from One Tree Hill), I did think Mercedes did the best though.

I agree with Tishala. Agree also with those who think Michelynne was picked because of her age. Sigh.

I forgot about this show, I only caught two episodes and missed the finale I guess. I picked Michelynne to win during the second episode, she was so fearless in her acting even though she said she's never been kissed. The episode before last, when she was meeting with the producer or whoever, I thought she just had a special glow and twinkle in her eye.

Just a reminder: Michelynne will be on One Tree Hill tonight
