DEVANITY & CALIFORNIA HEAVEN Crossover Tonight!

Smash web soap DEVANITY, nominated for three Indie Soap Awards at next week's ceremony, will feature a special crossover event with gothic soap CALIFORNIA HEAVEN as KC Corrigan (Kali Cook) visits the DeVanity clan.

"Michael Caruso, creator of DeVanity, is as much of a fan of crossovers as Todd and I are," said Stewart St. John, who co-created CALIFORNIA HEAVEN with Fisher. "So it was a natural for us to have some fun with our respective shows.

"Kali was a perfect fit for DEVANITY," said Caruso, "Our whole team embraced her and the CALIFORNIA HEAVEN brand. It's Malibu beach meets DeVanity downtown glamour."

The storyline, which has been carefully guarded, will unfold tonight at 6 p.m. PT on DEVANITY, airing exclusively on The SFN at http://www.sfntv.com.
