LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Joey Fatone, a former member of 'N Sync and current host of NBC's competition series "The Singing Bee," has signed on to co-host TV Guide Network's red-carpet programming through 2008.

Fatone will share hosting duties with Lisa Rinna, who signed an exclusive deal with the channel in April to become its red-carpet host at the major Hollywood awards shows. The pair -- who also have each been contestants on different seasons of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" -- will make their hosting debut September 16 at the Emmy Awards.

In addition to the Emmys, Fatone will co-host TV Guide's red-carpet award season coverage in 2008, including the Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Grammy Awards and SAG Awards.

"I am looking forward to making the red-carpet experience entertaining, spontaneous and, most of all, fun -- not only for those walking the red carpet but also for the fans watching at home," Fatone said.

Fatone and Rinna replace TV Guide's previous red-carpet hosts, Joan and Melissa Rivers.
