TLC looking for new
member
 UPN
has teamed with the remaining members of TLC, Tionne "T-Boz"
Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, for a reality
series aimed at resurrecting the famous 1990s trio that was
struck by tragedy in 2002 when member Lisa "Left Eye"
Lopes died in a car crash.
The network has given the go-ahead to eight episodes of the
project, titled "R U the Girl With T-Boz & Chilli,"
which has been in the works for several months.
Watkins and Thomas will put a group of aspiring female performers
through weeks of rigorous challenges, narrowing the field
to a winner who will join them for a concert and a recording
session.
"We want to find someone with the right chemistry and
magic to work with us," Watkins and Thomas said. "We
have been blessed with great success, and this is a chance
for our fans to join us as we give someone a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to fulfill their dream."
Casting for the series is expected to begin shortly. No word
yet on if the show will premiere in midseason or the summer.
Four-time Grammy-winning TLC, formed in Atlanta in 1991, was
one of the biggest-selling female R&B groups of all time
with 33 million albums sold worldwide.
