Vivica A. Fox is joining the ever growing world of reality based series with a new competition show that searches for the next great celebrity stylist.

“Glam God With Vivica A. Fox,” due to premiere this summer, will feature contestants vying to become a stylist to the stars through their talents in three key elements of fashion – hair, make-up and wardrobe.

Each week the hopefuls will compete in various challenges designed to test their knowledge of fashion and style trends as they create the perfect look from head to toe. Those who fall short will have their style license revoked and be sent packing. The lone remaining stylist will win a chance to style an A-list celebrity and receive $100,000.

“Vivica is a movie star and a fashion icon who knows how to step onto the red carpet and nail it every single time,” said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Production, VH1. “Her instincts are impeccable and she knows how critical it is to have a ‘glam god’ she can trust to create a star-making killer look. We are thrilled that we have her vision and insights to drive this show.”

    Author Staci Robinson is suing The CW, its owners and some producers for $40 million for allegedly stealing the concept of her unpublished novel to create the sitcom “The Game,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

    The writer claims that in 2001, she had interviewed for a job as a writers assistant at Kelsey Grammer’s Gramnet Prods. when she gave a manuscript of her novel, Interceptions, to “Game” executive producer Mara Brock Akil. The suit, filed Sept. 14, alleges that the series copies her premise and the characters in the book.

    She names the CW and its owners, CBS and Warner Bros., Akil and Gramnet as defendants. Besides the hefty monetary damages, Robinson is seeking a temporary restraining order to keep the network from premiering the show on Sunday, Oct. 1.

    Both the written and filmed versions center on a woman who is devoted to an NFL player, but wants to pursue her professional schooling.

  6. Ms.COuTure

  7. Ali

    fuk rofl, I’d hate to see Alicia in those series, because I know it gonna be a sexist show for women only thing, talk shit about men ‘they do this, they do that”, =/ I can see it already, no man likes Oprah for the same reason.

  8. SHAN_SHAN

    lol..VH1 givin everybody a chance..loll

  9. TRILLA

    Kelis was supposed to be the host of that Vh1 show.
    FUCK VH1.
    Can’t wait to see the Alicia Micro Series.

  10. Tiffany,

    EXCITED ABOUT THE GAME
    AND I AM SORRY I JUST DO NOT SEE AUNTIE VIV, HAVING IMMPECCABLE TASTE WHEN SHE LOOKS LIKE A HAM MORE OFTEN THAN NOT
    I JUST NEED VIVICA TO STFU AND STFD

  11. Dame

    Yay about The Game I can’t wait.

  12. STLCHICK

    Not gonna watch Vivica’s show. Congrats to her but I’m not gonna watch it.

    Everytime I see the comercials for A. Key’s show I laugh because her character seems so fake to me. She seems like someone you wouldn’t think A. Keys would act like and it’s so funny to me.

  13. bossy20

    the game is my new soaps for me to watch every sunday cant wait

  14. itzzzkimmm

    I am sooo excited for The Game and Alicia’s miniseries!!!!

  15. Trouble

    Finally it’s back.
    We get a good show, and the damn writers want to go on strike for months.

  16. Candace

    America’s Next Top Celebrity Stylist? Brilliant!!
    Lemme guess….Misa Hylton-Brim and Tameka Foster-Raymond are gonna be judges???

  17. queenb2001

    Yeah i agree with STLCHICK, something is kinda off about Alica’s character. it doesn’t seem natural.

    Yay i luv the game. And Viv as the host i dunnno, but the show sounds like a good idea

  18. something aint right

    who in the hells blank did vivca suck to get a show on style! this is a joke right! a clown is going to come out with a horn and honk her Neo hair line ass off the first episode!

    I love alicia, so positive

  19. something aint right

    Style Icon! Vivica is more of a tranny icon in my book!

  20. EVERYBODY CAN'T ACT.....

    @18 AND @13 IT’S PROBABLY BECAUSE EVERYONE CAN’T ACT AND FOR THAT MATTER ALICIA KEYS DOES NOT HAVE THE BEST VOCALS OUT HERE EITHER, SHE LOOKS LIKE WHITE AMERICA IS WHY SHE GOT THE ROLE. IT DID SEEM REAL TO ME SHE IS NOT A NATURAL THESE SINGERS WANT TO DO EVERYTHING.BECAUSE THEY GET HYPED UP ABOUT ONE THING AND THEN THEY THINK THEY CAN DO IT ALL. I AGREE WITH BOTH OF YOU.

  21. Monie Luv

    Tuning into:

    * Aunt Viv’s Show—- NOT!!!!!!!!

    * Alicia’s Micro-Series—- Looks goofy, but I’ll check it out. :-)

    * The Game— Definitiely, yes. The show’s last season was so good.

    P.P.S. The CW sucks for switching “The Game” and “Everybody Hates Chris” to Sunday nights.

  22. AIN'T THAT SO!!!!

    They should have all these wannbee actors and actresses all perform on Broadway first and let those NY critcs get a hold of them……..that’s all i got to say. Say what you will but there one person I KNOW has passed that test and I can’t wait to see her perform again…they are not like TV they will send yu home and shut you down in the quickness like Debbie Allen says. Ask Chaka Khan and Bebe Winans.
    Everybody is not gifted to act. It is a gift. The best in the business have all started on the Great White Way.

  23. LOLLYPOP

    Candace you know you wrong for that! Hahahahaha!

  24. LOLLYPOP

    Vivica has seen better days. She sure went downhill fast! Seems like just yesterday she was a hottie married to 69. Ever since 50 got to her she’s been deteriorating like a mutha …

    She needs to get into some serious character roles on the big screen and stay far away from trying to be the ‘ish in terms of fashion and/or beauty. Those days unfortunately are long gone …. (Still luv ya Auntie Viv!)

  25. Dont Argue With Me It's Just An Opinion

    Viv is kind of ghetto. I hope this show doesn’t turn out to be a mess like other black reality shows have.

  26. I’ll probably watch the Alicia Keys show on the web b/c I don’t watch The Hills.

  27. It’s about time we see some new shows for The Game. I am mad that I am just now getting into it during the second season though.

    I been tired of reality TV for a long time now.
    (shamefully I did watch Keyshia Cole’s show, but her situation when she was younger was very similar to mine)

  28. WHYASKWHY

    Yay!!!! The Game

  29. Bubblin BrownSugar

    #24 AIN’T THAT SO!!!!

    Is that what happened to The Color Purple on Broadway?? It shut down real fast when Fantasia left. I love Chaka and Bebe but did not want to see them in The Color Purple.

  30. PRINCE

    Aunt Viv need to get back in to ACTING!! Hopefully in major roles. I’ve lmaost forgotten how well she can act.

  31. TokyoBitches

    Okay how much did they pay this Jeff Olde dude to lie his ass off like that??

  32. ah-boo

    it’s like CW wants “the game” to get cancelled by moving their slot to sunday nights when you know, no one watches tv. watch, come the 3rd or 4th season, “the game” will be axed.

  33. since Girlfriends is over, THe Game is my new show now. This is a real good show!!

  34. dubai

    God help us!! If Vivica reads this please take the honest criticism to heart. Compared to the majority of terrible black actresses in Hollywood today, you are respeted for your talent and have contributed your talent to great movies such as Soulfood. However, you have never been a fashion icon. In addition, your terrible choice to undergo such dramatic plastic surgery was a badly made decision. You went from a natural beauty to a over made up tranny. Congratulations on your show, but do us a favor, keep it real. Dont have your ghetto girls like Lisa “I cant act if my life depended on it” Raye pimpiing pony tails. A listers are Angela Basset etc. A good example for you would be like when Tyra had Queen Latifa on ANTM. Queen is class, your girl L-Raye is a ghetto trash. Please prove us wrong and really have A-list stars on your show.

  35. Emma V's Great-Grandaughter

    Can’t wait to see The Game on Sunday.

  36. whodoo

    #21

    It has nothing to do with her not being able to act, it’s the fact that shes really hood and these characters they have her play in movies like the nannie diaries and what not would be more suited for soembody like beyonce or brandy. Alicia is very ghetto and it’s funny watchig her try to stifle that for these roles they put her in, having her try and speak in correct english instead of that jersey slang makes her sound artificial.

  37. lilmama19

    LOLLLLLLLLL AT #38

    you cant be serious are you did shes just really say that alicia keys was ghetto. i nearly died, so playing beyonce is an country bumpkin stop playin you must be an beyonce stan to even say something like this, go to you tube and find an interview with alicia and then do beyonce and come back and tell me who is REALLY NOT RIGHT. its called thinking before you speak girl

    and big ups to alicia im def going to be watching this

  38. rahni-fornia
