I know we will all learn a lot on this journey and I am so excited that VH1 is coming along on what I'm sure will be a wild ride."Friends say Jessica - who starred in MTV's 'Newlyweds' with ex-husband Nick Lachey - is looking forward to her return to reality television.One said: "Jessica is so excited to start shooting the show. She has been doing research into some of the insane things people do to try to make themselves more beautiful and she is shocked. She thinks it will be fun to try some of them."Filming starts next month, with the show set to be aired next year.
