Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, one third of the 90s group TLC, has just started production on a new VH1 reality show called “The Chilli Project.”

The show, set to air early next year, will focus on Chilli’s dating life. She’s single and on the prowl. But this won’t be “Flavor of Love” or its many variations. Rather, she has a dating coach find her men and I presume we’ll watch those dates. No bachelor mansion, no rose ceremonies, no hot tubs.

Her most notable boyfriend in the past was Usher.

She was recently at a semi-manufactured event at a Buckhead mansion to help out her friend and Atlanta mayoral candidate Kasim Reed. The pair knew each other when they were in high school two decades ago. The show created a little red carpet area for VIPs. I caught her for a brief moment here.

Chilli is no stranger to reality shows. She did one for UPN four years ago called “R U the Girl with T-Boz and Chilli.” The show was a bit bogus because it gave the impression they were seeking a replacement for Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, who had died in a car accident a few years earlier. But the winner only got to sing one song with them and do one concert. Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, her TLC singing mate, was recently on “Celebrity Apprentice” and barely made a peep.
