Tila Tequila and Tara Conner to Co-Host Tapings of “Pretty Smart” and “Fantasy Couples”

On Saturday, March 8, 2008 and Sunday, March 9, 2008, more than 2,000 lucky spring-breakers will take over the landmark Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort in Sunny Isles Beach for MTV’s annual Spring Break celebration.  Known for satiric game shows and celebrity appearances, MTV Spring Programming is being co-hosted by Myspace sensation Tila Tequila, hot off her MTV show A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, and Tara Conner, Miss USA 2006.

MTV will film two game shows over the weekend, “Pretty Smart” and “Fantasy Couples,” slated to air later this March.  The Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort is undergoing production for a set build-out that includes a massive beachfront stage and several green rooms and VIP areas that will accommodate the celebrities in attendance.  The 2,000 audience members will have a chance to participate in the tapings, win prizes and meet the talent.

“It is our goal to show-off Sunny Isles Beach as a travel destination and entertaining alternative to the South Beach scene,” said Barry Harris, Director of Sales and Marketing at the Newport.

Nestled between Miami and Fort Lauderdale beaches, the Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort offers guests a smart and fun way to travel with world class amenities and more than 14,000 square feet of special event space.  For more information, visit www.newportbeachside.com.
