L.A. Times: Wilmer Valderamma Reality Show in the Works

at .

That 70's Show star and ever-present occupant of hot Hollywood ladies' pants, Wilmer Valderamma, is looking to add another slash to his title.

That being reality TV show star.

The Los Angeles Times reports that the busy actor is forging a partnership with Fremantle Media, the producers of American Idol, to develop and possibly star in both a scripted and a reality TV series.

While Wilmer, 27, has tried his hand at production before, with the MTV series Yo Mamma, this "first-look" deal with Fremantle gives his company, WV Enterprises, a firm hold in the television world.

Mark Burnett, he's not.

But Wilmer sure is busy - when he's not scheming up the latest thing for your tube, he'll will be working on the feature film version of CHiPs, playing the role originated by Erik Estrada, Ponch.

Fez is really moving up in the world. His pal Ashton Kutcher, a TV mogul himself, still has the edge, though: Valderamma chases tail with the best of them, but he's yet to marry a cougar 20 years his senior.

Anyway. While a reality show starring Valderamma doesn't sound gripping to us, we're not teenage girls here at the Scoop. And you never know, it might present a nice break from watching DVDs of Work Out and Who Wants to Be a Superhero.
