It looks like Rihanna has actually found something to do in her spare time besides getting tattoos on her knuckles and allegedly pining for Chris Brown's skinny peen. Word on the street is that the Bajan beauty and former Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts have teamed up to develop a new fashion reality series for Sky Living HD in the UK.
RiRi will appear and serve as executive producer and has chosen Nicola to help seek out up-and-coming fashion designers for a 10-week competition to find the next best British talent.
Here's the press release from Sky Living:
The show will celebrate the extraordinary talent and creativity in the British fashion scene. With Rihanna, a fashion icon herself, and Nicola, who created her own Dainty Doll make-up range, at the helm, the show will recognise the increasing influence popstars have on mainstream trends.
With her world-class reputation and passion for style, Rihanna is perfectly placed to find an aspiring designer worthy of the chance to break into the hugely competitive world of fashion. Tasking Nicola with fronting the search, Rihanna will be heavily responsible for casting and will be involved in editing post-production.
Rihanna – who has sold 20 million albums – will also be hands-on as the programme showcases Britain’s most promising fashion designers. Over ten weeks the unknown designers will be challenged by Rihanna and Nicola to create outfits for a string of musicians and celebrities.
The final challenge and ultimate task for the winner will be to design a unique stage outfit for Rihanna’s Wireless performance in Hyde Park in July 2012.
So it's basically Project Runway with a pop singer at the forefront instead of Heidi Klum. i doubt it will be seen in the US (or at least on BBC America), so I guess like X Factor in the UK I'll be checking out the show online to let you guys know if it's good or not.
