VIVICA, DIDDY, LUKE SPEND SUMMER WITH VH1: Network taps talent for new programming to debut in the coming weeks.
*Vivica A. Fox, Sean "Diddy" Combs and Luther "Luke" Campbell are among the celebs featured in new programming set to premiere this summer on VH1.
The music channel has chosen Aug 21 to unveil "Glam God with Vivica A. Fox," which searches for the next great celebrity stylist. As previously reported, contestants will be judged on their ability to create a chic masterpiece using the three key elements of fashion -- hair, make-up and wardrobe.
"I Want to Work For Diddy," premiering Aug. 4 at 9 p.m., will track 13 finalists as they compete to become the hip hop mogul's assistant. Each of the applicants will be challenged emotionally, physically and mentally to earn the coveted position.
"Luke's Parental Advisory," premiering Aug. 4 at 10:30 p.m., follows the day-to-day adventures of Luke Campbell as he navigates fatherhood with two teenage children, while running his adult business Luke Entertainment Group and planning a wedding with his straight-laced lawyer fiancee Kristin.
Other programs set to bow this summer are "I Love Money," featuring 17 popular contestants from VH1 shows "Rock of Love," "I Love New York" and "Flavor of Love" competing against each other for a chance to win $250,000. Hosted by Craig J. Jackson, the 12-episode series premieres on Sunday, July 6 at 9 p.m.
"New York Goes to Hollywood," premiering Aug. 4 at 10 p.m., will follow Tiffany "New York" Pollard as she moves to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.
"The Cho Show," premiering Aug. 21, will follow comedian Margaret Cho and her eccentric entourage as she fights to be herself in an industry that in the past wanted her to be something other than herself. The series will touch upon all aspects of Margaret's "anything goes" lifestyle, from the strained and awkward moments provided by her somewhat traditional Korean parents, to the more irreverent and outrageous moments shared with her colorful cast of friends and colleagues.
VH1 Soul celebrates Black music during the month of June with new programming and specials, including "Classic Concert: James Brown," the documentary, "Listen UP! Quincy Jones," classic concert "Marvin Gaye: The Real Thing in Performance," "Prince Weekend," "Pop-up Vide Ladies of Soul," "Soul School Weekend," "SoulStage: The Roots," "Soul Story: Usher," and the archival documentary of the concert referred to as the African American answer to Woodstock, "Wattstax."
VH1 Soul will kick off the summer with its third annual Summer Of Soul campaign, a celebration of soul music between July 11 - September 1. VH1 Soul will journey to New Orleans, in collaboration with The Essence Music Festival to produce new and compelling summer programming.
