Just read this at Zapit: LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Grammy winner Missy Elliott and UPN are ready to give hip-hop hopefuls the chance to work it on national TV. The diva and the netlet are joining forces on a new dramality series tentatively titled "Missy Elliott Project." The search is set to begin this Sunday (March 7) with casting sessions in Los Angeles. Subsequent auditions in Chicago (3/10), New York (3/12), Atlanta (3/15), Arlington, VA (3/17) and Dallas (3/19) will follow. Wannabes are asked to have a three-minute routine prepared to show off their abilities as a singer, a rapper, a dancer and as an all-around entertainer. The show will attempt to follow in the footsteps of UPN's dramality smash "America's Next Top Model," as Elliott takes a group of young vocalists on the road and puts them through the paces to see if they have what it takes to be America's Next Top Hip-Hop Star. The cameras will be rolling at all times as the contestants live, work, train and perform together. More information on the casting process is available at www.upn.com.

Wow, looks cool, thanks Jan! I like Missy, but I do wonder if she's got the personality to pull this kind of show off.
