Fox Reality Channel announces new original series
Fox Reality channel has a new series called Gimme My Reality Show. This series will feature celebrities competing to have their own reality show. D-Listers already signed on for the competition include Traci Bingham, Santino Rice, and Gretchen Bonaduce.
Bingham, who played Jordin Tate on Baywatch, has also appeared on VH1’s Surreal Life 2 and Celebrity Boot Camp. Rice appeared on the second season of Project Runway and finished in the semi-finals. Bonaduce was on VH1’s Breaking Bonaduce which chronicled the life of her husband and former child-star Danny Bonaduce.
That’s it? They need to get some Idol alums in there. I’m thinking Sanjaya, just so the rest of the cast can ridicule him. Also, I would love to see one of the guys from I Love New York. Say, Mr. Boston? Who would you like to see on Gimme My Reality Show?
Gimme My Reality Show will premiere on October 11th at midnight, right after the Fox Reality Really Awards.
Steve-O Gets High At Gene Simmons Roast
Steve-O Gets High At Gene Simmons Roast
Yes, you read the headline correctly. Of all the crazy things he’s done, Steve-O has finally reached the point of smoking pot in public, in the presence of cameras and the media. And out of a Dr. Pepper can, at that!
The “Gene Simmons Roast” took place last night (November 27th) at the Key Club in Hollywood California. And thanks to Steve-O, the Sunset Boulevard establishment became a pot-smoking haven.
Simmons, the long-tongued, long-time bass player/vocalist for the rock band “KISS,” was honored by some of his peers and fellow celebrities. Jeffrey Ross played host, and he didn’t pull any punches.
Ross said, “I’m roasting my childhood hero… Growing up, Gene was my favorite member of my favorite band. But that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna take him down hard. What should i say about him???”
Ross was joined by Brian Poshen, Carrot Top, Dave Navarro, Craig Gass, Danny Bonaduce, Eddie Griffin, Fred Armisen, Jim Norton, John Heffron, Lisa Lampanelli, Ralphie May, Shannon Tweed, and of course, Steve-O.
Bonaduce, Screech, Rodman Ready for Smackdown
Wrestlemania this ain’t.
But CMT has rounded up the usual batch of semistarsDanny Bonaduce, Dennis Rodman and Dustin “Screech” Diamond, among themto go a-grappling in Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling.
Joined by reality-show stalwarts like Diff’rent Strokes star Todd Bridges, ’80s popster Tiffany, The Real World’s Trishelle Cannatella, Playmate Nikki Ziering, as well as Erin Murphy (Tabitha on Bewitched) and super heavyweight boxer Butterbean, the would-be wrestlers will receive tips from the Hulkster before competing in a series of elimination-style smackdown challenges.
Hogan, pro wrestling manager Jimmy Hart and former World Championship Wrestling president Eric Bischoff will do the judging. Former pro grapplers Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake and Brian Knobbs will help with the training.
The last contestant standing gets the title of Celebrity All-Star Wrestling Champion.
The eight-episode series, produced by Hogan, Bischoff and Wonder Years alum Jason Hervey, is currently filming in Los Angeles and expected to premiere on the cable channel this fall.
Here are the “stars” signed for Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Wrestling
What do you get when you mix Dustin Diamond, Danny Bonaduce, and Todd Bridges? Well, probably the worst references ever, but beyond that, you get the cast of the new CMT celebrity reality show Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling.
The three men will join other celebs such as Tiffany, Butterbean (?), Trishelle Canatella (from The Real World - God help us), Nikki Ziering, and Frank Stallone (Sylvester’s brother), who will try to out-wrestle each other. Actually, it won’t be all wrestling. They will also get points for trash talking and working the audience, just like in real wrestling!
The one part about this that makes me a bit sad is that Erin Murphy is going to participate too. She played Tabitha on Bewitched. Aw, come on Erin, do something better than this, please?
I don’t know what I was expecting. Of course people like this are going to sign up for a celebrity reality show. It’s not like Steve Carell or Tina Fey or Robert Redford would want to do it. But can’t we at least get some new C-level celebs in the mix for these shows?
