     *MTV has announced that "StarMaker," a new reality show from Sean "Diddy" Combs and "Survivor" producer Mark Burnett, will premiere its first season in January.

      The competition series follows a group of wannabe solo singers living together and competing in a series of tasks designed to test their star power – including photo shoots, paparazzi drills and on-stage performances.

       "It's a privilege to partner with Mark Burnett on my latest television venture. He is one of the industry's best," Diddy said in a statement. "I am confident that we will do great things together with 'StarMaker' and beyond."

      MTV and Diddy began developing the series in the fall of 2007, while Burnett – who also produces 'The Apprentice," "The Contender" and "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?" – came aboard in the spring.

       Diddy's reality show resume includes executive-producer roles on MTV's "Making The Band," "Run’s House" and VH1’s "I Want to Work For Diddy."
