LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Bobby Brown ... country superstar?

The R&B singer is one of several celebrities set to compete in a new CMT series designed to give one of them a chance to break out as the next big country music star.

"Gone Country," a six-episode series premiering in January, will feature John Rich of the country duo Big & Rich guiding seven celebrities through the music industry.

Along with Brown, the participants include Carnie Wilson, formerly of Wilson Phillips; Dee Snider of Twisted Sister; "American Idol" finalist Diana DeGarmo; Julio Iglesias Jr.; Maureen McCormick ("The Brady Bunch"); and R&B artist Sisqo.

Production is under way. The celebrities are holed up in a Nashville mansion, where songwriters are preparing them for a career in country music. In each episode, the cast competes against one another in challenges that will test them musically and physically to adapt to a country music lifestyle both on- and offstage. After two weeks, Rich will select one winner, who will record and release a song.

Here's the link

I'm sure she'll do well... she has a great voice, has done a country album, and even played Barbara Mandrell in a TV movie.

Good luck, Mo!

I have Maureen's country CD at home - it's a good album and she does indeed have a terrific voice.

The whole idea of this show it stupid.

For cryin' out loud, just let these people record a CD if they want. What's with the contest crap? Just about all of them have released CD's prior to this, so it's not like they don't have any talent.

Too bad the winner of this "contest" won't ever get a chance to see their video played on CMT ... CMT is too busy putting on idiotic 'reality' shows to actually play any music videos any more.
