Break out the champagne.
Shar Jackson has gotten a new job...
On television...
Network Primetime Television!!!
For ABC's new reality series 'Ex-Wives Club,' the former star of 'Moesha' will play co-host for the empowering show which encourages real people who have undergone traumatic divorces to learn how move on with their lives.
Though she was never married to Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline, Jackson (who is the mother of four children, two with him) is well versed in relationship woes.
The hour-long, five-episode series, filmed in Palm Springs and on location across the country, will feature one man and one woman each week, all with one thing in common -- a devastating divorce. It premiers May 28 at 9:00 p.m. ET.
Ashley Hamilton's ex-wife Angie Everhart and Donald Trump's former spouse Marla Maples joins Jackson for this exciting new take on reality.
According to the network, each episode will trail divorcees and the "XWC" team of Angie, Shar and Marla as they take the journey to let go of the past, rebuild their self-esteem and venture out into the world again.
Segments will show the participants getting rid of things that remind them of their former partners; indulging in the ultimate fantasy of revenge by doing something to get even with their exes; and undergoing makeovers in either their physical appearance or professional lives.
'Ex-Wives Club' will also feature renowned life coach and bestselling author Debbie Ford ('Spiritual Divorce: Divorce as a Catalyst for an Extraordinary Life'), who will meet with the participants one on one and give them the guidance they need to move on.
The show is helmed by Andrew Glassman, whose credits include 'Average Joe,' 'Three Wishes,' and 'National Bingo Night.'
Jackson, who has been making the tabloid and talk show circuit since the Spears/Federline scandal broke, is reportedly on the brink of releasing a music project -- with a new outlook on life and with the upcoming premiere of the show. The Boston native plans to open up to the primetime television world about her high profile break-up with Federline, hoping to help those going through similar hardships in their lives.
The actress/aspiring singer, who recently underwent plastic surgery, has two new films due out this year: 'I Do...I Did,' a dark romantic comedy, and 'Toxic,' a drama/thriller.
Her next project, the comedy 'Let's Ride,' is currently in pre-production. She has also signed with an independent record label and is back in the recording studio working on her debut solo album, to be released later this year.

Why is Shar on the Ex-Wives Club? She was not married. Pretend Marriage, commitment ceremonies and shacking up does not equal marriage.

What could this child of four illegitimate children actually offer in the way of advice? It seems like to me she needs to take some herself and for one stop having babies by every guy she sleeps with! What is she trying to be, a high class welfare mother bleeding her babies daddies for every cent she can get? Man they need to think about this one.
