TV Guide is reporting that ABC is developing a sitcom based on the pre-fame years of teenage pop idol Justin Bieber.

Its apparently the second effort by the network after an initial false start last year to create a show based on the 18-year-old Stratford, Ont., natives life prior to becoming an international superstar. The show would be under consideration for the networks 2013/14 season.

Bieber and his manager, Scooter Braun, would apparently be attached to the project as executive producers. Matt Wolpert and Ben Nevidi, who were writers on Entourage a HBO series that also features fame as its main theme are also reportedly attached to the project.

Its unclear if Bieber would appear on the show or if it would merely be based on his life or that of a fictional character who longs to become famous.
