In order to get your mug on TV these days, you don’t need to be a wife or even a housewife, really. All you need to be is a girlfriend. Correction, a “girlfriend” of someone famous. Not necessarily the main girlfriend, just the one most photographed with said celebrity, or the one who drives the most expensive car bought by the aforementioned “celebrity.” Case in point: VH1′s upcoming reality series, “Diary of a Hip-Hop Girlfriend.”
The new show will follow four women who are in love with a rap star (presumably, not the same rap star, but ya never know). VH1 says “this docu-soap series follows four women who share a common bond: they understand the joys and pains of being in love with a big name rapper. Sure, there’s the glamorous lifestyle — full of bling, Bentleys and mansions. But behind closed doors, they struggle against shifting loyalties, baby-mama drama and the huge shadow cast by their larger-than-life partner. This 8-part series charts the women as they navigate their relationships with the men they love while they try to maintain a sense of self in the eye of the hip-hop hurricane.”
Don’t all these shows claim to give us the nitty gritty, yet they routinely fail to do so? Anyway, no word on a release date for Diary of a Hip-Hop Girlfriend or who’s been cast for the show.
Why lawd, why? Donald Trump has decided to put Omarosa back on our teevay screens in yet another reality show. This time, she’s trying to find a man, or as The Donald says, find a man to “tame her.” *Blank stare* Omarosa will get to pick from 12 bachelors on the show, which is “coming soon” to TV One.
Al B. Sure, Chef G. Garvin and Pastor Jamal Bryant all make appearances on the show! I can’t with this one.
Here’s a clip…
Who am I kidding… I’ll be watching this shizz too. *makes room in DVR*
Ok, so where do I sign up for a TV show? I mean, my life of sleeping, working, eating and various bodily functions would be quite entertaining to watch. Trust, I got some “SITUATIONS” ya’ll would love to see. Anywho, the man widely recognized allegedly as the Michael Jackson slayer (hey, justsayin’), is getting his own show.
Dr. Conrad Murray will star in a British documentary-style special showing his return to his practice. The company shot footage of Murray’s first day back on the job in Houston on November 23rd. The company was reportedly interested in Murray’s patient’s reaction to his return to work. Uh, why would someone continue to be this man’s patient?
Murray will get paid for the show, once it airs. But… here’s the catch. The special won’t air until the Jackson investigation has concluded. Womp womp… Murray won’t see that check any time soon.

The Jacksons finally have a premiere date for their A&E reality show. The show will focus on Jackie, Jermaine, Tito and Marlon Jackson as they cope with the death of their more famous brother. It’ll also showcase how they’re gearing up for a concert tour. But, what they really need to show is Jermaine’s fierce hairline Sharpie game. I’d Pay-Per-View just to see that.
The six-episode run of “The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty” will debut on December 13th at 9 pm (ET) on A&E.

The salaries for the cast of one of the most vapid ‘reality’ shows have been published… I want to drop an effing anvil on my head so I can make the same! All they do is blink and stare at each other. I CAN DO THAT, I CAN SOOO DO THAT!!! HELLLOOO!! Call me! Life is so easy for the young blond and severely dumb…
Lauren Conrad – $125,000 per episode (her contract also stated that nobody on The Hills could make more than her) Kristin Cala-mari – $90,000 per episode Heidi Montag – $100,000 per episode Audrina Dimwitshername – $100,000 per episode Lo Bosworth – $100,000 per episode Spencer Pratt – $65,000 per episode Brody Jenner – $45,000 per episode
*Sigh* Ok so Fox presents “More To Love”, a show that’s supposed to be about ‘average’ sized people finding love……. um ok, I think I can speak as an expert witness (as I was told today that I make the perfect 0 in the #10 because as the young man stated “I’m tall and skinny and your round and curvy”…… yeeeaaaaa) so as an expert witness let me say this, ‘chunky but funky’ peeps find love urrday! It’s not hard, certainly not so hard that we are breathing a silly sigh of relief that finally the reality tv world is recognizing that chubbins deserve love too, HUH??? Don’t we all? I mighta been on this shows side if it were not for the fact that the “hot bachelor” is also a chubbin…..
“Luke Conley is a 26-year-old former college football offensive lineman who stands 6’3″ and weighs over 300 pounds”
So what’s the mystique of this show then??? A fat man is looking for love with a fat woman…… I don’t get it. Seems logical to me, right?
I mean now if it were some uber fit, uber hot dude like the ones they get for the Bachelorette then maybe I would get the point but alas this is just yet another attempt at exploiting the heavy set population and disguising it as inclusion. It’s total hogwash! I get hollered at from all kinds of men, short ones, tall ones, those in height denial (say their 6’2 but they’re really 5’3), fine ones, ugly ones, average ones, literate ones, illiterate ones, those still working on a studio album at age 48…. I mean I could go on and on but my point is, I get hollered at! I have never needed a specialized dating strategy geared toward the chunky, lonely population. UGH!
Hmmmm…. um….. hmmm….. um….. ok so this show, “Dance Your Ass Off” on oxygen network, I’m not sure how I feel about it. I can’t decide if it’s blatant exploitation of heavy folks for ratings or if it really has good intentions, the good intentions being to help people gain control of their health and weight through diet and exercise. Pairing a 260 lb woman with a 80 lb man seems a little like a set up to me. Eh, who knows? In the end I guess it’s a good thing to get moving and get healthy, guess it doesn’t matter if people are laughing with you or at you. I applaud Trice (one of the contestants in the clip below) for her effort, there are plenty of people still willing to sit with excuses and laziness and not do anything, a try is always better than nothing in my book….
