Taiwan's top model and talk show host Lin Chi-ling will become a CCTV hostess, according to a report by the Chongqing Morning Post which quoted Lin's agent.

Lin's agent was quoted by the Post as saying that Lin had received an invitation from CCTV to host a program.

The report was also confirmed by a man surnamed Chen in CCTV's editor-in-chief's office. Chen said the TV station has plans of inviting Lin to host some programs, but details have yet to be worked out.

Lin had been invited to co-host CCTV's Mid-Autumn Festival gala in October, but she declined the offer citing a busy schedule.

Lin has been one of the hottest celebrities in Taiwan's showbiz industry in recent years. She is widely known for her pleasant appearance, quick-witted responses and sweet voice.

Lin said the job she wants the most in the future is to be a TV news anchor.
