Feeling Silly
Hearing For What It's Worth - Dave Chappelle
Where is Ja?!?
VH1 is single handily trying to make the entire TV viewing audience sick of reality shows.
As if the slew of reality shows they currently have on wasn’t enough including ‘Hogan Knows Best,’ ‘Breaking Bonaduce,’ and ‘Celebrity Fit Club,’ VH1 announced today that they are rolling out six brand new reality shows starting in 2007.
Yes, six.
Dubbed ‘VH1’s Wild Life,’ the reality shows all have a music theme attached to them.
Since today is Halloween, allow me to put on the mask of a network executive for a second. My theory here is VH1 noticed how ‘Flavor of Love’ has become the most successful show in VH1 history and decided that if it’s not broke, don’t fix it.
The problem being the difference between ‘Flavor of Love’ and these other six brand new shows is one thing.
Flavor Flav.
Irv Gotti is no Flavor Flav, who will have a show called the
‘Irv Gotti Project.’
Irv Gotti? VH1, was Ray Benzino busy?
You couldn’t find a bigger rap industry name to follow around then the guy who is responsible for Ja Rule.
In the words of Dave Chappelle from ‘For What It’s Worth:’
‘Oh my god, this is terrible. Can someone please Ja Rule and get hold of this motherf***er so I can make sense out of all this. Where is Ja?!?’
Here is a brief description ofthe new reality shows for 2007:
- "Irv Gotti Project" -- After being investigated
for three years by the federal government on charges of money laundering and
acquitted, Gotti is attempting a comeback with his label, the Inc, while also
juggling his responsibilities as a husband and father.
- "Man Band" -- Former boy-band members including Bryan Abrams (Color
Me Badd), Rich Cronin (LFO), Chris Kirkpatrick ('N Sync) and Jeff Timmons (98
Degrees) will live together under one roof while creating new music and a new
stage show, which they then will perform as a new pop group in the quest for
success again.
- "ego trip's White Rapper Show" -- Hosted by white rapper Michael
"MC Serch" Berrin (of the group 3rd Bass) and producer Prince Paul,
this series will feature 10 contestants competing to become the "next
great white rapper."
Untitled Whitestarr project -- Described as a "comedic romp," this
series follows rock group Whitestarr as it seeks success in the music industry.
Adler is the son of noted music impresario Lou Adler.
- "Bridging the Gap" -- This limited series documents two established
artists who come together for the first time to explore their shared musical
passions and create a new track. The first episode will feature Eve and Queen
Latifah.
"Rags to Riches" -- Each episode of this verite series will feature a
musician or actor taking viewers on a journey from his or her humble beginnings
through stardom. The pilot episode, which already has aired on VH1, featured
Snoop Dogg.

Missing : Ja Rule & Ashanti. Where are they?? Hope Ashanti is not going to fade like Deborah Cox to "oldie but goodies" radio play.
VH1 is looking for the next big show so I guess they believe one out of the six should be a hit considering that there is no more Flava of Love. However, they should stick with their old formula for entertainment quality vs quantity.

I think VH1's reality shows are sometimes watchable. Personally, I want to see the fool who's gonna hook up with New York on her reality show.

"Bridging the Gap" and "Rags to Riches" I can get behind. Substance. We like substance.
"Man Band"? Fa real? If Bryan Abrams was in Color Me Badd, would that make him about 42?
Aye. -
