Olivia Newton-John Joins Grease Talent Search  1/2/07

Pop star Olivia Newton-John will revisit her famous role in the film Grease when she helps find a new Sandy as part of a TV reality competition.

Grease: You're the One That I Want will search for a whole new Grease cast and Newton-John will guest-star on the first two episodes of the new series.

The initial episodes will focus on nationwide auditions in the US and will start a process in which voters will choose the next Sandy and Danny to star in a Broadway revival of the hit musical.

Newton-John will provide commentary for the show, which debuts on US network NBC on 7 January (07).

The singer recently sued record label Universal Music Group, claiming she is owed more than $1 million in royalties from sales of the soundtrack from the hit 1978 movie.
