R&B singers Monica, Mario and Marques Houston are among a slew of celebrities tied to a new BET series entitled 'Played By Fame' !

Slated to premiere Fri, Jan. 30 on BET, 'Played By Fame' will reportedly pair celebrities with unsuspecting fans.

In vein of recent BET series like 'Hell Date', patience is tested and boundaries are broken as celeb-fanatics partake in what appears to be the best opportunity of their lives -- spending the day with their favorite celebrity. But reality quickly sets in as a series of pranks turns what started off as a dream day into the worst time of their lives!

Former BET 'Hits' and MTV Punk'd host Al Shearer will host the new series that will also feature Lamman Rucker ('Why Did I Get Married'), Wendy Raquel Robinson ('The Game'), Bobby Brown, E-40, Keshia Knight-Pulliam, Kel Mitchell, Bobby Valentino, Tichina Arnold ('Everybody Hates Chris'), Eva Marcille, and Melyssa Ford.

'Played By Fame' will air Friday, Jan. 30 at 10pm on BET.

It's not really original 'cause it just sounds like a groupie version of hell date. Just my opinion.
