Mel'isa Morgan, best known for her 1987 remake of Prince's "Do Me Baby," is part of a new reality show being developed about five 40-something socialites in New York City, reports the New York Post's Page Six.
Titled "Cougars: NYC," the show from IiN TV Productions follows five older hotties "living the glamorous life in NYC . . . with men 10-plus years their junior."
Morgan is one of three ladies chosen for the cast so far, along with WOR Radio ad exec Dawn Ellison and Shahla Husein, v.p. of a medical sales company. All three only date guys in their 20s.
A casting call for two more women will be held at a singles mixer at Libations on Ludlow Street Aug. 20, according to Page Six.
Executive producer Elizabeth Mwanga disputes the negative connotations of the word cougar. "Basically, it's meant to symbolize empowerment. This isn't just horny older women chasing younger guys," she told the column. "It's women who are beautiful, successful and hot, who can get these younger guys because they are hot."
