VH1 Greenlights Telenovela Game Show
In the new series “Viva Hollywood!” 12 bilingual Latino and Latina contestants will learn the “7 Deadly Sins of Telenovelas” — passion, lust, charisma, drama, fire, seduction and scandal — in order to impress the judges: actress-singer Maria Conchita Alonso and singer-songwriter Carlos Ponce. Astrologer Walter Mercado will give the contestants guidance. The winner will land a role on a Telemundo telenovela, representation from management company Latin World Entertainment and a $100,000 prize. The hourlong series, from World of Wonder (VH1’s “What Perez Sez”), premieres in the spring. — soomos
