What to Watch: Heidi Fleiss, Carson Kressley

Amd_kressley"How To Look Good Naked" (9 p.m. CT Tuesday, Lifetime) returns in a new, expanded format, an hour long and with more of a “Queen for a Day” feel to it. Carson Kressley hosts this reality series about plus-sized women who learn to feel better about not being model-thin. Of course, the professional makeovers and fabulous prizes Kressley gives away on the show would make most women feel better.

"Heidi Fleiss: The Would-Be Madam of Crystal" (8 p.m. CT Monday, HBO) comes to us from the same duo that chronicled the last years of Tammy Faye Messner and made a documentary with Monica Lewinsky -- a certain type of damsel-in-distress is their specialty. When we join the Hollywood Madam, she is trying to get back in the game, only this time as the proprietor of a legal, all-male brothel in Nevada. It is a distinctly low-budget affair, however, and Fleiss exercises such questionable judgment at times that you wonder how she kept an illegal racket going for so long.
