Rap star 'Eve' will star in a new comedy pilot for UPN. Eve recently won a Grammy Award with rocker Gwen Stefani for their song "Let Me Blow Your Mind," has two platinum albums of her own, and recently appeared in the film BARBERSHOP.

Yahoo! News reports that the sitcom pilot will be executive produced by David Janollari, who also developed the comedy LIVING SINGLE for then-rap star Queen Latifah, who has now gone on to be nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in CHICAGO. Janollari says there couldn't be a better home for Eve's project than UPN.

"Queen Latifah stepped onto that stage and we never looked back -- she was a terrific actress," he said. "We have the same feeling about Eve for this project. Eve's a natural to come to TV. Her persona and her fan base (are) absolutely perfect for UPN."

The show will situate Eve as a fashion designer in search of love. This brings the UPN comedy pilot count for the fall season up to six, according to The Futon Critic, where you can find a complete index of all the pilots the ENTERPRISE network has in the works.
