Burruss to star in TV

Bravo says it has ordered a TV special called "The Kandi Factory," starring songwriter and "Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member Kandi Burruss. In the program, Burruss will give two proteges the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of pop music success in Atlanta. She has identified three factors that have to fit perfectly together to create a pop sensation -- the song, the look and the performance. Burruss and her team of experts at "The Kandi Factory" will work with the two contestants to try to turn them into music superstars, the network said in a news release. "With her breakout personality and straightforward attitude, Bravo fans have grown to love Kandi on 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta,'" Eli Lehrer, Bravo's vice president of development, said in a statement Thursday. "'The Kandi Factory' will capture a unique look at her successful music career as Kandi transforms two music hopefuls into the next big pop star.".
