Now this should be interesting with a Thug for a boyfriend and a struggling career, money problems, bad wardrobe e.t.c. Tasia Mae aka American Idol Season 3 winner Fantasia Barrino is set to return to reality television in a new unscripted series on VH1. This probably will be a cross between "Keyshia Cole the Way it is" and her sis and mom new show "Frankie and Neffie". The project will chronicle the nine-time Grammy-nominated singer’s life as a recording artist and young single mother. The 24-year-old North Carolina native will reprise her role as “Celie” in The Color Purple: The Musical playing at the Kennedy Center in Washington this summer. Fantasia’s VH1 reality show debuts early next year.
