Rihanna Fashion Reality Show: Singer Set To Executive Produce TV Show In The UK

It's rare we see Rihanna dressed in more then a swimsuit, hot pants and a t-shirt these days. But say what you will about her sense of style--the singer is quickly become a fashion industry darling.

The 23-year-old singer is the face of Armani Jeans along with Emporio Armani underwear and has been dressed by fashion giants such a Jean Paul Gaultier to Stella McCartney.

So with her style star soaring high, Rihanna has inked a deal with UK's Sky Living Network to executive produce a Project Runway-esque reality show. Although the program isn't a titled yet, it's set to hit the UK small screen this summer (no word if we'll be able to view the show in the states, but there's always YouTube.)

"I've always had a great love of fashion. It's a constant source of inspiration in my life, and is a big reason why I've grown into the person and artist I am today," Rihanna told Sky Living.

The show will follow the superstar as she travels Britain in search of talented and undiscovered fashion designers. Nicola Roberts, of the London based pop group Girls Aloud, was tapped by Rihanna to serve as the show's host who will take the hand-picked group for designers through a series of challenges to determine an ultimate winner.

The prize? The opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind outfit for Rihanna to perform in during the Wireless Festival at London's Hyde Park this July.

It's not Project Runway's $100,000 check to start their own collection, but dressing one of the most famous women in the world will certainly attract some attention and hopefully stardom.

Is this the reward for meeting her exploitation obligation to the exploiters?

Rihanna, I wish you all the luck. Show your critics that you are an all inclusive package. You can model, you can dance and you can sing. You have exactly what your producers want.

"all inclusive" does not mean that any of it is actually good. she is a pop star... that usually implies shallow talent across multiple media with more emphasis on the personality than on the actual "talent".
