Fox is looking for the next big idea from the man who brought them and television viewers the blessing that is Cookie Lyon. The network has officially given a pilot order to STAR, a new show from Lee Daniels that he first dropped hints about over the summer. The show ? which the 'Empire' creator will write, direct and executive produce ? tells the story of a female musical group and their journey through fame. Daniels first talked about the project back in August during a panel for Empire at the Television Critics Association press tour. He said at the time that the group featured in the show would be inspired by the Supremes, Destiny's Child and TLC, among others.
