Music superstars Patti LaBelle and Brandy Norwood have been added to the cast of Fox’s “Star.”

LaBelle will play Christine, the mother of Carlotta Brown (played by Queen Latifah), while Norwood will be Carlotta’s younger sister, Cassie.

It looks like Brandy is already stoked about joining the cast. The singer posted a fun selfie with on her on-screen big sister, Queen Latifah, presumably on the set.

She’s been one of the greatest inspirations in my life….then ?gotta chance to work with her on the remix of ?wanna be down. @queenlatifah is a force and @theoriginalbigdaddy is a force. Thank you for reconnecting us in 2017 Mr. Daniels …. ? love you two and you both are stars in my life ⭐️#star
