Premiering Tuesday, October 27, "Monica" will feature the R&B singer as she works on her 5th album and launches a new clothing line.

PASADENA, CA—On Tuesday, October 27, at 10:00 p.m.* BET premieres "MONICA," a new eight-episode series that follows R&B singer Monica Arnold as she works on her fifth album, launches a new clothing line and tackles the hardest job of all: full-time mother of two young sons. After a brief hiatus from the music industry, does Monica have what it takes to handle it all? You be the judge on Tuesday, October 27.

Monica is back in the spotlight with an intimate, behind-the-scenes view into her day-to-day world. This reality show will not only chronicle her personal life, but will take viewers along her journey as she works on her highly anticipated fifth studio album, appropriately titled Still Standing. The series will also highlight her efforts as she designs a high-end line of boys' clothing called Regions of Rock, an "urban rock" line of clothing ranging from infant sizes to boys' size 20.


Born and raised in Atlanta, Monica Denise Arnold is a talented R&B / pop singer, songwriter and actress. She began her singing career as a member of Charles Thompson and the Majestics, a 12-piece traveling choir that led to her signing a recording contract with Arista Records in 1995. Monica went on to become the youngest R&B recording act in history to have two consecutive chart-topping hits on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

While maintaining a recording career, Monica added another title to her credits: actor. She has appeared in several films, including "Boys and Girls" (2000), "ATL" (2006) and MTV Films' "Love Song" (2000). She has also made several television appearances on "Living Single," "Beverly Hills: 90210," "Felicity" and "American Dreams."

Even with all the success of her entertainment career, Monica undeniably has experienced personal tribulations. It was with the spiritual guidance of her parents and family that she withstood the devastating suicide of her boyfriend Jarvis "Knot" Weems, and it is that same support that helps her keep standing today. Monica is a strong, poised, vivacious woman, and with this reality show, she wants to show viewers and fans that anything is possible once you have set your mind to do it.

"MONICA" is executive produced by Monica and James DuBose of DuBose Entertainment

I love her too. Looks like I'm gonna have to start watching BET again, especially now that they've picked up "The Game."

That show isn't in production anymore. Is it?

Word is they will be taping in Atlanta now, instead of California like the previous seasons.

I've always been a Monica fan. A part of me believes that her reality show won't be as coon-filled as Frankie & Neffe. I hope that I'm right.

Thanx I hope the writing is better this time around. I like the show, but sometimes the writing could get a little campy. The premise for the show is really good, though.
