(8/17/01, 3 p.m. ET) -- Former Milli Vanilli member Fabrice Morvan, 33, is the new host of Malibu Showerpalooza, a traveling karaoke show sponsored by Guinness that features a singing booth resembling a shower, complete with a bathtub, showerhead, and steam and soap-bubble effects. Morvan will tour the Midwest in search of singers who enjoy laughing at themselves once in a while. The former Milli Vanilli member rose to the top of the charts in 1988 with hit songs like "Girl You Know It's True," "Baby Don't Forget My Number," and "Blame It On The Rain" before it was discovered that he and partner Rob Pilatus didn't actually sing on their debut album, after which the duo was promptly stripped of its 1989 best new artist Grammy.
"I think I've had more practice than most people when it comes to laughing at some of the stresses life throws your way," said Morvan. "Singing in the Malibu Showerpalooza booth offers people an escape, if only for a few minutes. And everyone knows you sound better in the shower, or at least you think you do--so the combination of karaoke and singing in the shower is certain to be a seriously easygoing fun time.'' Morvan will appear with the booth at local bars in Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis, and Milwaukee. At the end of each Malibu Showerpalooza event, he will select one lucky person to join him in singing a duet. He might even invite one overall winner to join him to try out for a backup role on his new solo project, Love Revolution, scheduled for release in 2002.
