Vanessa Minnillo- Host of ABC’s, “ True Beauty” 

When Vanessa Minnillo heard about a television project where ten beautiful people who thought they were competing on their looks were actually judged on their inner beauty, she knew she had to get involved.  As the host of True Beauty, she revealed the layers that make the contestants who they are, helping both the contestants and viewers learn that there’s more (and sometimes less) to a person than just a “pretty face.” 

Now, Minnillo has partnered with AXE to take on a new role and help educate young men on how they can step up their grooming game. Minnillo is available for interviews to talk to your listeners about what a new survey revealed girls are looking for in guys.  Under the clothes and beyond the handsome face, what do girls really find attractive? 

Minnillo will be armed with information from a new survey that unveils what girls think about personal hygiene and confidence.  Knowing college guys have it tough when it comes to keeping clean, from lounging on stained fraternity couches, to tailgating in the heat, and sprinting around campus between classes, these results may encourage them to get the dirt out before a night out.

WHO: Former Miss Teen USA, Vanessa Minnillo, is host and judge on True Beauty.  She is the New York-based correspondent for Entertainment Tonight. Minnillo was a co-host for MTV’s “Total Request Live” from 2003 to 2007, as well as hosting several MTV specials including "MTV's Prom Date," "2 Punk Rock 4 This: The Real World San Diego Reunion," “High School Stories” and "Spring Break Celebrity Fantasies."
