Richard Branson Might Make A Cameo On Virgin America's 'Fly Girls' TV Show

It's almost mid-season in the land of television series, and you know what that means? New shows, including the much-anticpated CW one following around the flight attendants of Virgin America. it's called "Fly Girls" and it should be sufficiently salacious and sexy, what with five high-flying hotties partying just as hard as they work.

But just how involved in the show is the airline? The LA Times recently looked into this question, and discovered everything but the show's premier date, although they did say in March. Now although you'll see plenty of Virgin America logos and planes in the show, that wasn't a term dictated by the airline; apparently Virgin gave the telveision crew free reign and simply comped the flights for the crew to shoot. But then Virgin's biggest mascot might even make an appearance; we're talking about good old Richard Branson of course.

But wait, there's more!

During the series, we can expect the Fly Girls to interact with all sorts of passengers and probably give the in-flight WiFi some cameos, but there'll be even more to watch on the ground:

'Virgin has given us a very long leash,' said Colin Nash, one of the show's executive producers. 'They don't push their logo; they don't try to influence the stories. We're able to capture what's really going on in these girls' lives.' For just a sneak peek at that, there's a breakup with a wanna-be rock star, a single mom's difficult balancing act, agonizing on-again-off-again romances and, of course, infighting.

And if you find yourself drawn into the show when it begins in March and you're not part of the "Fly Girls" 18-to-34-year-old female demographic, don't worry; we're betting this series will gain quite a few male fans as well.
