Well, maybe not exactly. But you do have to admit that the former Saved by the Bell co-star has put herself out there lately.
In attempts to put herself back onto the A-list, she has thrown herself in every location possible to renew her fame. She’s definitely got something up her sleeve and I don’t think this is the end of her plans.
The classic signs are there with her show appearances and (eek) a reality show launch.
She appeared CSI: Miami last month in her recurring role of Julia Winston, which gave the show its highest ratings of the 10 p.m. time slot in five years. Berkley told TVGuide.com that she plans to pop up on the show a few more times in the future.
Also, the little minx has signed up to host Bravo’s new reality show, Step Up & Dance. The formula is no different than the other thousands of reality shows: 12 dancers compete for $100 thousand, as reported in the Editor’s Blog of TVGuide.com.
As I did my research on the actress, I stumbled upon her Web site, Ask-Elizabeth, which I didn’t know existed. The site’s mission is to provide a safe haven for adolescent females through interactive workshops at youth groups and high schools across the country.
It’s all butterflies and rainbows, which is surprising in light of the fact that it’s coming from the Showgirls actress. Newstoob.com blog talks more about Showgirls’ cult success. I’m all about the notion that a person can change, but is this her way of creating good will?
Her resume of good deeds seems to be endless, but has anyone really heard of any of them?
Berkley She is slowly creeping up in places that she knows get top ratings. CSI: Miami, a top-rated drama series and a reality show, which we all know have become the new TV crack for American viewers.
She is playing it safe by not jumping into a big movie role (remember Showgirls?) or a TV drama series. We all know that reality show hosts are replaced as easy as last week’s milk.
Berkley is not tying herself down to one project, rather she is spreading herself out with hopes of high fan return. She has analyzed her target audience, appropriate media outlets and planned her campaign accordingly. Well done.
That was very well written.
