Maureen McCormick and Bobby Brown film reality show in Newport

NEWPORT (WATE/AP) -- Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.

"Brady Bunch" actress Maureen McCormick. R&B star Bobby Brown and pop singer Carnie Wilson are in Newport week filming a reality show for Country Music Television.

The show is called "Outsider's Inn" and the backdrop is a local inn called "Christopher Place."

Marston Price is the real-life owner of the inn and he says he's glad he made the decision to allow the show to be filmed at his business.

"Hollywood is here in Cocke County for a month and we are so excited," Price says.

In the show, McCormick takes over the operation of the inn and enlists the help of Brown as entertainment coordinator for guests and Wilson as the chef.

Cocke County Mayor Iliff McMahan says the show is a big boost for the small town's economy. "Those people stay in our motels. They eat here. They get gas here and they entertain here."

The set is closed to the public, but that hasn't kept the stars out of sight or the townsfolk from scrambling for a peek.

Filiming is expected to wrap up the first week in July.

The first episode is slated to air on August 15 on "CMT."
