NEW YORK A new NBC show is bound to attract attention for the title alone: "Without Breasts There is No Paradise."
The network has agreed to produce a prime-time English-language version of the telenovela of the same name, which has set ratings records in Colombia. A Spanish edition with a different cast and script will be made by Telemundo, also owned by NBC Universal.
The series is about a 17-year-old call girl who worries that her flat chest will consign her to a life of poverty. It broke ratings records in Colombia that had been previously set by "Betty La Fea," which became an English-language success when it was remade into "Ugly Betty" by ABC last fall.
