DioGuardi heading to Bravo in new competition show

NEW YORK (AP) - The Bravo network says it's bringing former "American Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi back to TV in a series of her own.

"Going Platinum" will be a song-writing competition that pits contestants against one another as they live together, all vying for a $100,000 grand prize.

DioGuardi will be head judge of the 10-episode series. Singer-songwriter Jewel will serve as host.

"Going Platinum" is scheduled to premiere next year, Bravo announced Tuesday.

DioGuardi, who has written hit songs for such artists as Carrie Underwood and Pink, was a judge on "American Idol" the past two seasons.
