Jim J Bullock set to become a Beauty School Dropout

The last time I saw Jim J. Bullock (wait a second, was there always an 'i' in his name?) he was reuniting with his former talk show co-host in The Eyes of Tammy Faye, a documentary from openly gay producers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato. According to Variety, Bullock is set to appear in another production by Bailey and Barbato's production company, World of Wonder -- this time, in a reality series.

In "Beauty School Dropout" Bullock will attend beauty school and attempt to open a beauty parlor. The series is currently a pilot being pitched to cable networks and I'm hoping I'll get to see it on my cable grid in the near future. I usually enjoy World of Wonder's shows, and Bailey and Barbato are keen at finding interesting people who've been overlooked by lesser storytellers. In that light, "Beauty School Dropout" is a promising combination.

Another show being developed by World of Wonder focuses on Jeffree Star, a cross-dressing singer who will be opening for Cyndi Lauper's summer tour. Poking around Star's MySpace page, it's hard to imagine such a show ever getting boring.

For you Jim J. fans (or Jm J. fans), here's a funny clip of him on the However-Many-Thousand-Dollar Pyramid (second clip in the video) in which he doesn't exactly use his alloted time wisely.
