FME Reveals A True Beauty Of A Slate For NATPE 09

FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME) has unveiled its exciting and varied new slate of programming for NATPE 2009.
Touching down in Las Vegas with a catalogue of programmes from outrageous and action-packed entertainment and revelatory factual programmes, to a strong drama and a well-loved returning series, FME is proud to showcase its impressive clutch of brands and icons. Headlining the slate is the new reality contest with a formidable twist, 'True Beauty'.
'True Beauty is a new Ashton Kutcher/Tyra Banks project hosted and judged by TV personality Vanessa Minnillo, along with supermodel Cheryl Tiegs and Nolé Marin of 'America's Next Top Model'. The new programme premieres in January 2009 on ABC and features six females and four males who will live together as they undergo a series of challenges to determine who is the most beautiful.
While the contestants think they are being judged solely on their outer appearance, the challenges are actually designed to test their inner beauty. At the end of eight episodes, a winner who is the beautiful inside and out will receive a cash prize and a spot in People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People issue. And now for something NATPE buyers just can't get enough of - the multiple Emmy Award-winning Martha Stewart. FME has a truck load of Martha content for die hard fans, including the brand new 13 x 30 series 'Everyday Baking' which features easy and delicious recipes for cookies, cakes, pies, tarts and more - all from the pages of Everyday Food magazine.
With a focus on the techniques and finishing skills needed to produce beautiful, bakery-quality results for friends and family, the programme serves as an easy-to-understand resource for all baking-related how-to-information. 'Everyday Baking' is hosted by John Barricelli, a former 'Everyday Food' co-host and a contributor to 'The Martha Stewart Show'.
FME continues to "kick it up it notches unknown" this NAPTE with US daily show 'Emeril Live'. In front of a live audience, Emeril Lagasse - restauranteur, chef and author - demonstrates gourmet cooking with a bam!
FME began representing the Emeril brand at NAPTE 2008 and has since sold 'Essence of Emeril' to 13 territories worldwide.
From live to the unmistakably ancient, FME introduces 'Egypt Unwrapped'. This major factual series from Atlantic Productions follows experts - led by Dr Zabi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities - using the latest research and techniques to uncover Egypt's greatest mysteries. The series includes the first modern scientific examination of Unknown Man E, Egypt's most surprising mummy whose face is locked in an eternal scream, as well as investigating the evidence behind legendary Egyptian characters and landmarks, including the Scorpion King, the Sphinx, Ramses and Cleopatra, the pyramids, the Valley of the Kings and Alexander The Great's lost tomb.
A second helping for those wishing to retrace history comes in the form of 'The Unsinkable Titanic'/ Everyone knows that an iceberg sank the ship, leaving more than 1,500 to perish in what is now known to be one of the greatest maritime disasters in history. But this striking new film argues that it was actually a long chain of misjudgments, human errors and misfortunes that sealed the fate of the largest liner of its day, her passengers and crew.
Made by the team behind Channel 4's 'Hindenburg', the film draws on the latest research and eyewitness testimonies to reconstruct the story from the point of view of those involved, and de-bunk the many myths that have built up surrounding the Titanic.
Visit FremantleMedia Enterprises at NATPE, Stand: 1410, Mandalay Bay Convention Centre, from January 29 - 31.
