America's TV Guide Network says it has green-lit its first original reality docu-soap, "The Nail Files."
"The Nail Files" stars Katie Cazorla, a 32-year-old entrepreneur who owns and operates the celebrity-filled Hollywood nail salon, The Painted Nail, while juggling a relationship with 52-year-old Walter Afanasieff, a Grammy Award-winning songwriter and producer who's penned and produced hits for Mariah Carey, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston, the network said in a news release.
The six-episode series will premiere on TV Guide Network in mid-2011.
"The producers of 'Jersey Shore' have once again come up with a highly entertaining, non-scripted series capturing the fascinating lives of colorful individuals, this time against the backdrop of Hollywood," Diane Robina, the network's executive vice president of programming and marketing, said in a statement Wednesday.
"'The Nail Files' is a perfect fit for our audience, as it takes viewers on the star-powered fast track of Katie's life of luxury, love and entrepreneurial adventures."Salsano said Cazorla made a good first impression when they met.
"I love working with entertaining, raw, everyday people with some sass and a point of view," Salsano said. "Watching Katie in her element both in and out of the salon wowed me.
