Nearly five months after reports of the project first surfaced, TLC's surviving members announced Tuesday (November 16) that they're staging a reality series to find someone to join them onstage and to record with them in the studio. The show will be called "R U the Girl With T-Boz & Chilli."

Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas said they're ready to launch the next phase of their careers some two and a half years after the death of group member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes (see "Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes Killed In Car Accident"). They completed the fourth TLC album, 3D, as a duo, and they played what was billed as a final TLC performance seven months after the album's April 2002 release (see "TLC To Give Final Performance At New Jersey Concert In June"). So when news leaked of their deal to replace Lopes on a reality show (see "TLC Looking To Replace Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes"), it came as a surprise to many fans. A source close to the show, which will air on UPN, stressed that they're not looking to replace Lopes, but are just inviting a performer to work with them on a one-off basis.

"We want to find someone with the right chemistry and magic to work with us," Watkins and Thomas said in a statement. "We have been blessed with great success, and this is a chance for our fans to join us as we give someone a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fulfill their dream."

Didn't Destiny's Child make TLC irrelevant?

That is sick. I hope it fails miserably. Fuck you TLC....All you will ever be is TC, bitches.

No better way to cheapen the death of a lifelong friend/fellow artist than with a reality-based replacement show!!

Can you say "casket gymnasitcs", anyone?

It's a friend who once wore condoms on her eyes, and once burned down her bf's house out of anger. I sincerely doubt that she'd scoff at the idea of a reality show, that's essentially nothing more than televised auditions.

Which means she's an attention whore. Hell she's been in as many videos since she died (all the memorial graf art etc) as she had before her death. There's no way her tumultuous spirit will stand for some rotisserie gameshow R&B hoe stealing her shine. I'd watch out for falling chandeliers, contestants!

Could've sworn they said they'd never replace her. Guess the Benjamins talked too loudly.
