My Formerly Hot Life to become television comedy

Stephanie Dolgoff penned a blog about what it felt like not to be young any more, called "Formerly Hot."

It struck a chord with the forties set, and the blog was a huge hit.

In August 2010 it metamorphosed into a book, My Formerly Hot Life, beguilingly subtitled Despatches from Just the Other Side of Young, which became a bestseller.

Now ABC, hoping to cash in on this blogging success story, have commissioned what they call "a single-camera comedy," whatever that means.
