AP, Jul 24, 2006 2:24 pm PDTChaka Khan, Clint Black and Michael Bolton are among the pop stars who will be part of "Celebrity Duets," a new Fox TV show that pairs singers and celebrities trying to prove they can carry a tune.
The series, debuting with a two-hour episode Tuesday, Aug. 29, is an elimination contest in the style of "American Idol," with judges and viewers deciding the fate of the celebrities.
Other singers taking part are Cyndi Lauper, Smokey Robinson, Dionne Warwick, Brian McKnight, Macy Gray, Patti LaBelle, Kenny Loggins, Richard Marx, Randy Travis and Aaron Neville. More pop stars will be joining the show, Fox said Monday at a Television Critics Association meeting.
