Ask-Elizabeth is the name of a self-help program for teen girls, set up by actress Elizabeth Berkley.^[1]

The program was set up in 2006, after Berkley's husband Greg Lauren, commented on the amount of girls who came to her asking for advice and joked that she should have her own column. Berkley decided to take action and created her own website to help teen girls.

The website, which she facilitates herself is a self-esteem program and has been very successful. She regularly meets with young girls to discuss different issues and topics and to help them with any problems that they are going through and speaks of her own troubles in the past.

It is also the working title of an upcoming reality series focusing on the program's success and its continued efforts to help girls throughout the country.^[2]

The show, which is being produced by MTV^[3], will feature Berkley travelling around the United States, facilitating the program and finding out the issues and topics that are most important and relevant to the teenage girls of today.

The MTV project is being developed in the network's News & Documentaries division. Amy Bailey, vice president of development in the department, said Berkley approached MTV with the idea. "She does these workshops around the country with teen girls and gets them to really open up about self-esteem and body issues," said Bailey. "We had been looking for a program that tackled the same issues, so it seemed like a perfect match."^[4]

The status of the show itself is unknown as it was originally expected to premiere in late 2008, but production has since been pushed back. It is now expected to premiere some time in 2009.
