VH1 has set an April 2 premiere date for its first comedy series, "So Notorious," starring Tori Spelling in a fictionalized version of herself.

The show originally was developed as a pilot for NBC, which passed before VH1 picked it up. "It's our biggest project from a cost perspective," said Michael Hirschorn, VH1's newly appointed executive VP original programing and production. "But it seemed like the next logical step for the network, so it was a risk we were happy to take."

For her part, Spelling said her family calls her "brave" for taking a role in which she often pokes fun at herself. VH1 unveiled its slate during parent company MTV Networks' portion of the Television Critics Assn. press tour in Pasadena Wednesday.
