Money Maker rapper Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges has signed a deal to produce a weekly reality TV show about two teens attending a performing arts high school in Pennsylvania. Luda says "Halls Of Fame" promises to be "a realistic journey into how young people can get started in the entertainment business.
"Whether it's music, fashion, dancing or acting - everyone has to start somewhere," he says.
"Hopefully, this program will show teens one way to go about it, as well as the realistic obstacles they'll come up against."
"Halls Of Fame" will revolve around 21-year-old singing sensation Starla and her 15-year-old sister and aspiring fashion designer Taylor. The program will follow the girls as they adjust to a new home in Philadelphia and the everyday trials of the competitive academy.
In addition to executive producing the show, Ludacris will have a recurring role and serve as a music supervisor, creating the theme for the show and overseeing all other musical aspects. It will air on the US on Nickelodeon teen network N, and if successful, will be aired on UK networks soon after.
In other news, Ludacris will reprise his role as Darius Parker on NBC's hits series Law & Order: SVU in 2007.
