*Mix the beauty business represented by former model Tyra Banks and the unpredictable nature of Ashton Kutcher and what do you get? A new reality series about a beauty pageant with a twist.

      That's all ABC would say about its new as-yet-untitled unscripted series from the duo's respective production companies, according to the Hollywood Reporter.  The network has ordered eight episodes of the project and production is scheduled to begin in the coming months.

       Kutcher is behind MTV's celebrity prank series "Punk'd" and the CW's "Beauty and the Geek," while Banks executive produces the CW's top-rated "America's Next Top Model" as well as an upcoming CW project in which contestants compete to become assistant editors at a fashion magazine.
