(The airline&#8217;s top marketer is a co-executive producer.) Along with the girls&#8217; catfights and dating drama, expect to catch a glimpse of the finer features of the Richard Branson-backed airline, like its free wi-fi and celebrity parties. The screen time will be golden for Virgin, which is expanding its operations in the U.S. over the next several years. <em>Undercover Boss<\/em> (see video above), premiering on CBS after the Super Bowl, will expose a bit of the underbelly of Southern companies like Waste Management, White Castle and the others, but only to right wrongs and celebrate working stiffs. Timely! None of the marketers have creative control over the programming, but they&#8217;ll probably be happy with their close-ups anyway since it&#8217;ll be their warts-and-all, not their competitors. And the price sure was right.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Posted by T.L.
