Top models Beverly Johnson and Kim Alexis are joining forces to give the catwalk a more mature look as the hosts of a new reality TV contest for ageing beauties. Alexis will host She's Got The Look, while Johnson will serve as one of the show's three judges looking for new models aged 35 and older. Alexis tells the Los Angeles Daily News, "It's a chance to enhance women over 35 who still look good and feel good about themselves and want a second chance at something. "They may have stepped aside for family or for love, but always wanted to try it." She's Got The Look debuts on America's TV Land network on 4 June .

Corporations Cutting Back Pbs Funding
With corporations cutting back on sponsorships of public television broadcasts, NewsHour With Jim Lehrer is facing a possible funding crisis, the New York Times reported today (Monday). The recent loss of Archer Daniels Midland as a corporate sponsor removed $4 million from the show's budget, which varies from $26-28 million per year, the newspaper observed. Moreover, it added, other PBS programs may face similar funding challenges as corporations cut back on all forms of advertising and no longer make endowments to public TV. Recently, the Times reported, NewsHour sought and received four international reporting grants. Executive producer Linda Winslow insisted that the grants had been "a great success story," allowing the program to extend its overseas reporting. However, she conceded, "I would not pooh-pooh the fear that it becomes something that steers you to something you wouldn't already do."

Spears getting more time with sons
The judge in the custody battle involving Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline has granted the singer more time with her sons as she continues to make progress in rebuilding her life.
Reuters reports that lawyers representing Federline told reporters that Spears' visitation rights had been extended but did not give further details.
At yesterday's closed hearing, a mental health expert gave an assessment of Spears.
Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said: "We all see indicators of progress by Ms Spears."
"What was a seemingly daily state of extreme flux has been stabilised," he added.
The 26-year-old singer appeared at the court on time yesterday.
In a statement, her parents said: "We are so pleased at Britney's progress and we are very appreciative of the court's recognition of this progress."
Federline's spokesman, Elliott Mintz, told reporters that his client was pleased with yesterday's hearing.
Mintz said: "At the end of this saga he is hoping and believing that there will be two children who are raised in the company of the two people who love them."

Glastonbury headliners revealed
Jay Z, Kings of Leon and The Verve have been announced as this year's Glastonbury headliners.
Following months of speculation, in which Radiohead, Bruce Springsteen and Led Zeppelin were rumoured to play on the Pyramid stage, the headliners were finally disclosed yesterday.
Kings of Leon will headline on Friday night; Jay Z on Saturday; and The Verve will close the festival on Sunday evening.
Other acts also confirmed to play are CSS, Neil Diamond and Hot Chip. The Guardian is also reporting that Leonard Cohen will perform on stage for the first time in 14 years.
Of the headliners, organiser Emily Eavis said: "We're absolutely thrilled to have them. The Verve are a classic Glastonbury band who've played some amazing sets at the festival over the years. Now that they're back together again, playing brilliant shows, we've finally got them doing the headline slot that they always deserved. I can't wait."
She continued: "Jay-Z is coming all the way over from New York especially to play the festival. It's a real coup for us. He might seem like a slightly unusual choice for Glastonbury, but we've never just gone for the obvious acts and we're so honoured to have one of the most talented and respected musicians on the planet coming to the farm. He's an amazing artist and an incredible live act. I think he's going to blow people away."
She added: "That leaves Kings of Leon. They've come through the ranks at Glastonbury since they rocked the New Bands Tent in 2003. We think they're one of the most exciting live bands out there right now and that they're ready to make the leap to join a great heritage of Friday night headliners which includes Coldplay and White Stripes."
The full line-up for the Festival will be announced in June with the three-day event taking place from 27 to 29 June.
Fans who want one of the 137,500 tickets on offer must provide contact details and a passport photo in order to receive a registration number.
The number does not guarantee entry to the festival at Worthy Farm in Pilton, however fans will not be able to buy a ticket without one.
They have until Friday 14 March to register their interest via the festival's website. Tickets will then go on sale on Sunday 6 April.
