La Toya Jackson is at the center of a new OWN reality series.

OWN has ordered a reality series that centers on singer La Toya Jackson.

Titled "Life With La Toya," show will give viewers an up close and personal look at Jackson's lifestyle as she juggles the many demands of her famous family, finding time for lifelong friends and dealing with a growing entertainment business empire.

Series, to be produced by World of Wonder with Ja-Tail Television, is set to premiere in 2013. Exec producers are Jackson, Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Jeffré Phillips and Charles Cook.

Bailey and Barbato have worked with the cabler before, serving as exec producers on docu "Becoming Chaz" - the transformation of Chaz Bono from a woman to a man.

Jackson is the fifth child of a family that consists of nine siblings.

"I am so pleased to be working with television legend Oprah Winfrey and to be a part of the OWN family," Jackson said. "This will be one of the most exciting adventures of my life."

OWN co-president Sheri Salata said the docuseries had been in development for months, while adding, "We are delighted to work with La Toya to bring this new show to OWN viewers."

Someone said Latoya might save Oprah's channel concerning ratings

maybe this is why she stayed out of the recent Jackson family drama....she wants to focus on her own career revival and didn't wanna get caught up in their mess.

Can you blame her? The past few weeks with that family has been a circus in the press. I'd leave their butts alone with all those shenanigans, too.

yep

This explains her silence.

She called Oprah a legend, I await a response from Mjscarousal

The new janet

I wonder if she'll tell Oprah off the way she told Wendy Williams off for putting down Joe... but I'll be watching it!

Latoya might be goofy as hell (as least by way of her public persona, because that's actually an act), but she's not stupid. She rode the crest of the press she got from Celebrity Apprentice straight into the offices of HARPO.

Smart girl, keep getting those checks...unlike those lazy brothers who can't get off their rusty dusty behinds save for every 15 years, at least she's not afraid or allergic to work.

Revival?? There never was a career!

i guess as much as being famous for being mj's sister is a career, latoya can be said to have a career. this is what she's been pining for since she walked out of hayvenhurst. life is really strange sometimes.

MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED.

LATOYA IS ONE OF MY FAV CELEBRITIES. CONSTANT ENTERTAINMENT.

It's not an interview, it's a reality show. She won't be telling O anything (I'm sure).

off camera of course, I love the fact that latoya talks a lot, if it's for something necessary

Im sorry but I will never understand the crazy Jackson family.

Its really sad...

They run to a woman who called their relative a pedophile.

and then turn around and say bull that they loved him... and all that b.s.

She likely won't even get a chance to meet Oprah in the near future (if she already hasn't met her). When you do tv work as a newbie you're not suddenly uder the arms of the owners and presidents of the networks.

well, to be fair, latoya called him one first. . . (just trying to add some levity to a really effed up situation.)

the love of money is the root of all evil. neither oprah nor latoya give two shits about mj, but they know that other people do and they are going to milk that for all its worth.

this is has been latoya's dream since she walked out of hayvenhurst over twenty years ago. she doesn't have to compete with mj anymore. she's also gets to 'rewrite' their history. he's not here to contradict her and no one else is going to. they're too busy doing the same thing, like jackie telling that lie that mj planned to tour with them after this is it. not fucking likely. she doesn't have to compete with janet anymore, who at this moment has no recording contract and is embroiled in a ridiculous scandal reminiscent of latoya's own ridiculous scandals. she doesn't have to compete with her brothers anymore whose tour sputtered spectacularly, playing to half empty venues and only being able to complete 16 of the 27 dates they had scheduled due to low tix sales.

yep, all these years of waiting for her moment and at 56, it has finally arrived. (although i'm pretty sure that the show will fail. still, the fact that anyone - let alone la oprah - is willing to front her a reality show is a pretty impressive coup for latoya.)

Fuck Oprah! LaToya ass needs to be ashamed for messing with her-when her brother was alive Oprah said all kindsa shit about him.

Only after all of the child molestation charges went down. Especially the 2nd time. Before that, O never said anything bad about MJ.

Even so-that was enough She drug his name through the mud like all the other Paps and shows-Oprah is just trying to save OWN and she's using those stupid ass Jacksons to do it. Damn! I know MJ has rolled over in his grave a few times.

no, what's nonsense is your ridiculous defense of janet and her siblings over in the other thread. why aren't you over there anyway? is it b/c kat has pretty much AFFIRMED THEIR STORY WAS BULLSHIT!!!

i hope you're not defended latoya, are you? it isn't nonsense, it's truth. many in the media have been giving latoya big ups b/c she has stayed out of the mess her bros and sisters made, she can continue to go around pretending she was mj's "bestie" before his death even though she really couldn't give two shits about him, and her bros' tour was a spectacular failure. where did i go wrong? oh wait, it was accepting your troll bait!

i can't be mad at you, azz. you're amusing!

Because I've lost interest.

I don't care about any of the Jacksons now that Michael is dead, except Janet. And all I care about, truthly and deeply, is the music. That's why I was angry at the estate for the shambles surrounding 'Michael'. But Bad 25 will be interesting.
