'Ugly Betty' Creator Teams With JLo For New Series

By Michael Lopez

Jennifer Lopez sure seems to be enjoying the TV world these days. She's scored a major payday on American Idol, is producing two reality shows, and now is planning to collaborate with Silvio Hora on a Latino dramedy for FOX.

Silvio, as you may recall, shot to fame for adapting Ugly Betty and serving as its head writer for four seasons. Since its cancellation last year, we've been anxiously awaiting his return to the TV and now it looks like he's found his project.

The new untitled series will focus on three Latina sisters and should be blending the same mix of laughs and tears that Betty was famous for. Jennifer became attached to the project after some meetings with FOX head Kevin Reilly.

It all sounds very exciting to us and should hopefully hit the small screen soon. Of course, our biggest curiosity revolves around which actresses will play the three hermanas. Perhaps a famous face from the past?

Are you looking forward to J. Lo and Silvio's new series? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
