A New Fantasia coming On VH1 Reality Series

R&B singer/actress and American idol alum Fantasia Barrino is set to get real via a soon to be titled VH1 reality series!

Barrino is reportedly busy with her work of the sequel to 2006’s Fantasia. Sources said that she will be returning to the stage soon as Celie in “The Color Purple,” inked a deal with VH1 this week that will showcase her life as a single mother and at the same time a recording artist.

“Fantasia has one of the most fascinating stories in show business, from her tough upbringing to her meteoric rise on the national scene thanks to ‘American Idol. Her challenges from fame and her unwillingness to fail have combined to create a larger-than-life talent who appeals to music lovers around the world,” says Jeff Olde, executive of original programming at VH1 shared with Hollywood Reporter.

Fantasia’s deal, which follows the successful Lifetime movie “Life Is Not A Fairytale,” will likely to be telecasted early 2010 on VH1.

Sources adhered to the deal state that producers are expecting to unveil the funny, fresh and unexpected sides of Fantasia throughout the series.
