Janet Jackson Steps Up for New Reality Show

Janet Jackson has decided to throw her hat into the reality-TV ring, developing a new show with 25/7 Productions for MTV. The show will search YMCAs, churches, community centers and other atypical places to find the next Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake or Usher — basically someone who has an amazing voice and can also bust some serious moves. (And, presumably, can weather a massive PR nightmare in the wake of "accidental" nudity.)The untitled show, reports Variety, will be shot in the next few months before Jackson takes off on her next world tour on Sept. 10. Do you think we can handle another dancing/singing reality show? Does Jackson's name attached to the show make it more appealing... or less? — Erin FoxRelated• Use Our Online Video Guide to Watch More Janet Jackson
