Variety has reported that Janet Jackson is set to get her own MTV reality TV show.

Janet will be a mentor figure for aspiring dancers and singers as she searches for the next big star.

Executive producer David Broome said: “It’s really about finding who’s the next Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake or Usher. And we’ll find it from a pool of people who you wouldn’t typically find it from. We’ll go to YMCAs, church groups, local community centers and try to cast the show.”
