Charlize Theron will be executive producing a new reality show for Style (DStv 173) as the fashion and style channel picked up another two brand-new shows as well, Luxe Life Miami and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

Charlize Theron whom South African viewers saw on Sunday in the glam doccie Miracle Rising: South Africa on History on MultiChoice's DStv wanting to give her view on the country although she is no longer living here herself, will now be the executive producer of Glam Squad (working title) for Style.

Style says in a statement the channel is working with Charlize Theron "to develop a new competition series, Glam Squad, revolving around the high-stakes pressure of hair stylists and make-up artists who compete to win Hollywood assignments."

Charlize Theron might appear in Glam Squad. "Glam Squad navigates the world of make-up and hair glam squads, giving a behind-the scenes look into what it takes for them to land the job of their dreams," says Style. "Each episode will follow three beauty teams of hair stylists and make-up artists as they vie for the same high-stakes job."

"Whether it's a big-budget music video, a glossy fashion magazine photo shoot or a red carpet event, these talented glam squads are looking for the big break that will catapult their careers to the next level."

Style says Glam Squad will "document the journey of aspiring hair and make-up artists and their unpredictable business. From last-minute jobs to demanding clients, the glam squads will encounter challenges that will not only test their skills and passion, but also their ability to make it in this cutthroat industry."

Style has also commissioned two other brand-new shows, Luxe Life Miami and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, inspired by the original American popular culture series.

Style also renewed two of its existing reality shows for further seasons, Giuliana & Bill for a 6th season and Tia & Tamera for a 3rd season. Style also commissioned a brand-new weekly popular culture magazine show entitled Pop Style.

"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous is inspired by the original pop culture classic series, which pulls back the curtains on the lives of the fabulously wealthy," says Style in a press statement announcing the show. "The new series will take viewers into the lifestyles and perks of the elite crowd. This humorous, informative and fun ride will travel through the most glamorous locations and hotspots in the world."

Luxe Life Miami (a working title) is a new docu-series which will follow the life and business of Katrina Campins, a former Apprentice contestant and a successful high-end Miami real estate agent. Katrina Campins runs her business with her ex-husband, her controlling Cuban mother and her younger sister.

Style says in Luxe Life Miami, viewers will "get an inside look at the drama of helping high-end clients buy and sell luxury real estate in Miami, along with the trials and tribulations of Katrina searching for true love and happiness."

"From the beach to the bedroom the series will follow Katrina and her team of realtors as they explore Miami's most luxurious properties - beautiful beaches and the hottest bars, clubs and restaurants."
