Antonio Sabato Jr. Looks for Love (On Camera) at Hilton's Waikoloa Village
Yeah, we’re kinda embarrassed that we think former Calvin Klein manty model Antonio Sabato Jr. is still kinda hot. Maybe it’s his chiseled cheek bones, perfectly tanned skin, and taut, muscular abs, but we will never ever hold his appearance on Ally McBeal against him. Sigh.
The commitment-phobic Italian actor has jumped from daytime to prime time soap operas (and back again), and most recently, playing his hunk-alicious self on Ugly Betty. He managed to wed Alicia Tully Jensen for one whole year, knock up both Virginia Madsen and Kristin Rossetto, and has been linked to Nicolette Scorsese, Vanessa Marcil and Rachael Cook.
Now, at ye old mature age of 36, Sabato, Jr. seems to think he’s ready to settle down (uh huh) and like every D-list celebrity in need of a career refresher (hello, Bret Michaels, Denise Richards, and Janice Dickenson!), he’s hooked up with a reality show to make his dreams come true. Barf.
Kinda like a hopped up version of the “The Bachelor,” VH1’s new program, “My Antonio,” features 13 lovely ladies who are thrust into a soap opera like scenario to win over the heartthrob’s, umm, heart, with the help of some pro matchmakers. We just pray to gawd it’s not the annoying old guy in the eHarmony.com commercials.
Ten episodes of the $4-million-dollar plus “docu-soap” were shot at Hilton Waikoloa Village on Hawai'i's Big Island – the cast and crew stayed here, too. Competitions include reenacting love scenes, skydiving in an evening gown center around the theme of soap operas, and pretending they're pregnant to marry him. Gee, that’s original.
The guy who co-producer the series, Scott Shotski worked on Top Chef and Project Runway, so we hope it doesn’t totally suck, but despite the obvious eye-candy, we're pretty sure it will. "My Antonio" premieres on VH1 on Sunday, Aug. 16th.
Rooms at Hilton Waikoloa Village start at $199 a night.
