LOS ANGELES -- Jenny McCarthy was risque even at age 6. Grinning broadly during a recent interview, she recounts how she cracked up the mothers waiting to pick up their kids at her kindergarten with a slightly off-color joke aimed at her teacher.
"I watched all these people laughing and I thought, 'Cool. Right on.'"
She's hoping the same type of raw irreverence will pay dividends in her new sitcom, "The Bad Girl's Guide," based on the best-selling series of books by Cameron Tuttle. It premieres Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. EDT on UPN.
McCarthy plays JJ, a low-level advertising executive who shares the joys and woes of modern life in the company of two girlfriends -- co-worker Holly (Marcelle Larice) and roommate Sarah (Christina Moore).
"Being a 'bad girl' isn't necessarily breaking the law, it's basically questioning the rules, testing out boundaries," says McCarthy.
The show is "a little bit edgy for network television," she says. In the premiere episode, JJ indulges in romantic fantasies about a man she's met in the elevator at work. There's some sexy language, but it's not as explicit as, say, HBO's retired "Sex and The City."
"This is 'Sex and The City in the Mall,'" McCarthy says. "This is where people can go out and get (the style) for $19.99. We definitely wanted a real girl perspective on it, not a fantasy world."
The Chicago-born McCarthy, 32, was Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1994, then went on to host "Singled Out" and "The Jenny McCarthy Show" on MTV. She also starred in "Jenny," an NBC sitcom that only aired for 10 episodes in 1997.
Married and the mother of a 3-year-old boy, she's authored the explicit books "Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Childbirth"
