Vanessa Minnillo has become one of the most successful entertainment hosts in the industry. Whether it has to do with her highly publicized relationship with former 98 Degrees star Nick Lachey or her loveable and upbeat personality, there's no denying her success in the past few years. Vanessa turned heads last year when she went undercover in a fat suit to see how bigger people were treated in public. Her new expedition involves a complete makeover with a fatsuit, special effects makeup and braces which will turn her into a real-life Ugly Betty.
Vanessa has said that her first experience with the fat suit has changed her life forever. She couldn't believe the reactions she got from the public just for being overweight. I guess if you can make just one person realize how cruel they're being, the whole experiment is worth it.
Although Vanessa is trying to raise awareness about issues with appearance and how we treat people, some have to wonder about the real results of the test. Will it really make people change or will it just make the "real" Ugly Bettys" feel even worse about the way they look?
