TV musical drama pilot ordered by ABC loosely based on Pharrell Williams




You may have heard about Pharrell signing on as a producer of this show last year and wondered what happened. Well television producers MCG and Mark Gordon have gotten the green light for their show "Limelight".



"Limelight" is a soap featuring contemporary music and dance, centering on
teachers and students at a New York performing arts school. The pilot is based
loosely on the experiences of hip-hop producer Pharrell Williams, of the
Neptunes.

Sounds like "Fame", which I think is a great thing. Today's kids & teens need a show like this to inspire them, if they'll actually watch it.
Speaking of the Neptunes, Chad Hugo will be featured during a panel discussion on "How I Wrote That Song" along with T.Pain, Will.I.Am, Keri Hilson, and Makeba Riddick in celebration of Grammy Week on Saturday, February 7th from 1-3pm at the Key Club in LA. This event is presented by BMI. Tickets are $10, $15 on day of event and are available through Ticketmaster and www.keyclub.com. No excuses if you're in LA, check out those prices! {More Info}
