Always wanted to be in a Nelly video but retain your homely Christian good girl image? Audition to be in Nelly’s drumline (pun intended!). And no, Ashanti will not be your drum major.

Nelly is holding a nationwide casting call in search of an all-girl drum line that will perform alongside the rapper on his hit single, “Grillz,” a track from his last album, “Sweatsuit.”

According to his label Universal Motown, “Nelly is looking for girls that can play marching band snare drum, tri toms, bass drum, tuba and trumpet.”

Auditions will begin nationwide on Sept. 30, starting at 11 a.m. in Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, St. Louis and New Orleans.

“Ladies need to know how to march and move very well to the beat while playing their instrument,” (bwahahahaha!) the label states. “The final auditions will be held in Atlanta on Oct. 8, and the girls that make the final cut will be given the opportunity to perform with Nelly on the BET Hip Hop Awards to be held in Atlanta on Oct. 13.

Can’t make the auditions in person? Just post a one minute video to Nelly’s official drum line audition site: www.myspace.com/nellysdrumlineauditions. Look for Nelly’s upcoming release “Brass Knuckles” to be in stores later this fall.

“Brass Knuckles”!? Really? HAHAHAHAHA.

Alrighty, so, who from A Hot Mess! is gonna go and get the scoop at the auditions in their city? LOL!

However, I want to know why he is still performing “Grillz” — why doesn’t he perform his new single “Wadsyaname”? Not that I want to hear it particularly, but…”Grillz” is kind of old. I’m sure the marching band treatment will make it hot though.

What, Nick Cannon or North Carolina A&T weren’t available?
