Janet Jackson will take part in a new reality show for MTV, says Variety.
In the untitled project, Jackson will act as a mentor to aspiring singers and dancers. The show will be filmed over the next few months as Jackson prepares for her world tour, which kicks off on September 10.
Executive producer David Broome said: "It's really about finding who's the next Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake or Usher. And we'll find it from a pool of people who you wouldn't typically find it from. We'll go to YMCAs, church groups, local community centers and try to cast the show."
Producers are yet to confirm the prize, but it is thought that the show's winner may play some part on Jackson's tour.
