THE makers of The Block have found a new renovation challenge - a makeover of the White House's most notorious intern, Monica Lewinsky.
The 31-year-old is talking to Channel 9 about taking part in a reality series to follow celebrities on a quest to lose weight.
Lewinsky hit headlines in 1998 over her affair with then-US president Bill Clinton.
An insider revealed last night Lewinsky was one of eight celebrities being wooed for Celebrity Detox, produced by The Block creators David Barbour and Julian Cress.
"We've renovated our houses, we've renovated everything else and maybe now it's time to look at renovating ourselves," Nine's programming director Michael Healy said.
To screen in 2005, Celebrity Detox is to feature a mixture of six local and overseas celebrities from different age groups and backgrounds who over six weeks will endure a health and fitness program.
They will try to eliminate vices from their diets and lifestyle and increase their awareness of good health.
The final celebrity line-up will be supervised by a team of medical experts, nutritionists and trainers.
Mr Healy warned: "For the famous, it won't be a walk in the park. It will be a real no-pain, no-gain test."

Lewinsky hit headlines in 1998 over her affair with then-US president Bill Clinton.I still contend that calling this relationship an affair is an insult to affairs.

Wasn't her mouth enshrined in the Clinton Lie-brary this week? That should solve her dieting problem, methinks.

Unfortunatly for her, she's given a new word to the English language.
Everyone knows what "performing a Lewinsky" means.

Monica Lewinsky said she no longer votes Democratic. She said they left a bad taste in her mouth.

Actually, she had an affair with Clinton's unit. According to Clinton, ths doesn't count as an "affair".

"Everyone knows what "performing a Lewinsky" means."This is Bill Clinton's legacy.
To: Rabble
I almost posted a quote from "Full Metal Jacket" about a "golf ball and a garden hose", but decided not to.
