Former intern to take turn at reality TV show

LOS ANGELES -- Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky has a new job: reality TV host. Lewinsky has been hired for the Fox series "Mr. Personality," a dating show in which a female contestant is courted by men whose looks are kept hidden.

The men "must rely strictly on their personalities to captivate" the woman, Fox said.

The series is scheduled to begin April 21 on Fox, which has scored ratings hits with reality shows including "American Idol" and "Joe Millionaire."

Lewinsky, best known for her affair with President Clinton, most recently has been designing handbags.
