VH1 Ready to Spice Things Up With Mrs. Dash?

VH1 Ready to Spice Things Up With Mrs. Dash?

"Clueless" star Stacey Dash says she's about to headline her own VH1 reality show. VH1, however has a slightly different take on the matter.

The friendly folks at "The Wendy Williams Show" blasted out a release Thursday saying Dash -- who recently generated buzz for an Oscar date with Jamie Foxx -- would be "announcing" her new VH1 gig on Friday's "WW."

"I’m doing a reality show for VH1 that Sally Ann Salsano, who does ‘Jersey Shore,’ is producing. … I’m really excited," Dash tells Ms. Wendy.

MoJoe called VH1 to get more details on this big new Dash series. You know, a title, when it's premiering, etc.

The network's response? Um, slow down, people!

Actually, what a VH1 spokesman told us was: "Stacy is talking to VH1 about a show, but a series has not been greenlit at this time."

Translation: We're talking, we'll probably shoot some footage -- but Ms. Dash shouldn't blab so freely. At least not yet. If and when we do announce a series in six months or a year, we're praying Ms. Dash won't stop talking about it.

Another person familiar with the matter confirmed that VH1 and Dash are, indeed, in early development of a reality show. What's more, in addition to Salsano, Nick Cannon -- he of the married-to-Mariah-and-hosting-"America's Got Talent" fame -- is set to executive produce the project.

If, you know, it actually goes forward.
