VH1 Reality TV Plans Include Pepa, Chili and Frank the Entertainer

Celebrity Fit Club, Sober House Also Return to VH1’s Growing Reality TV Line Up

VH1 has teamed up with Sandra “Pepa” Denton of Salt n Pepa and Chilli from TLC – giving each pioneering hip-hop artist her own series revolving around their current lives as single women. The yet-to-be titled “Pepa” and “Chilli” series will premiere on VH1 in 2010.

The Entertainer, from the “I Love NY” and “I Love Money” shows has also scored his own series called “The Entertainer,” featuring his parents as well as the infamous basement bachelor pad. VH1 has also renewed two other hit series: “Celebrity Fit Club” (season 7) and “Sober House with Dr. Drew” (season 2).

These programming additions come on the heels of recent announcements about upcoming new original primetime series on VH1 including Jessica Simpson’s new series “The Price Of Beauty;” a series centered on the family and career of American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino as she refocuses and tries to get her career back on track with the untitled “Fantasia” series; “The OCD Project,” centering on OCD patients living together as they strive to overcome their disorder; and “The Aspen Project,” focusing on the highs and lows of living and dating in one of the wealthiest communities in the world.

The untitled “Pepa” series is a real-life comedy following Sandra “Pepa” Denton of Salt-n-Pepa fame as she emerges from her self-imposed romantic and sexual dormancy of the past four years as she begins to search for love again. After years of living a celibate life in order to focus on finding “the one,” Pep has realized that giving up sex actually got her nowhere in the relationship world. She didn’t “evolve,” she didn’t land a husband and the only close relationship she formed was with her exercise bike. But she’s not the only one. Her three closest girlfriends are all single and searching too. The four friends will laugh, cry and dish the dirt as they support each other along the way. The “Pepa” series has been picked up for eight half-hour episodes and is set to premiere in 2010.

The “Pepa” series is executive produced by Banks Tarver and Ken Druckerman for Left/Right, Inc. Executive Producers for VH1 are Shelly Tatro, Danielle Gelfand, Kari McFarland and Jeff Olde.

‘Chilli’ from R&B supergroup TLC, has decided to take the reins of her lackluster romantic situation and launch an all out search for the love of her life in the yet-to-be titled “Chilli Project.” Despite huge success as a recording artist and a mother, Chilli has grown tired of striking out on the romantic front, so she has enlisted the help of Brooklyn relationship expert Tionna Smalls. Not one to let people take the easy way out, Tionna has promised to give Chilli the challenging emotional workout she needs in order to get over the hurdles that have kept her from having the long-term serious relationship she craves. The series has been picked up for eight half-hour episodes and is set to premiere in 2010.

“The Chilli Project” is executive produced by FremantleMedia North America. Larry Barron, Kevin Williams, Bill Diggins and Chilli are executive producers. Executive producers for VH1 are Jim Ackerman, Dave Hamilton and Jeff Olde.

“The Entertainer” will star Frank “The Entertainer” Moresco and the ever watchful eyes of his parents. Frank is best known as the guy who still lives in his parents’ basement from the VH1 shows “I Love New York” and “I Love Money.” Meanwhile, his parents have grown ever weary of their 32-year-old slacker son’s current living arrangements – their basement. In a last ditch effort to help Frank get out from under his parents thumb VH1 is giving him the opportunity to find love from a bevy of naive hopefuls and the incentive he needs to move out of the basement and on his own. “The Entertainer” has been picked up for ten one-hour episodes and is set to premiere sometime in 2010.

“The Entertainer” is executive produced by Cris Abrego, Mark Cronin and Ben Samek for 51 Minds. Executive producing for VH1 are Jill Holmes, Kristen Kelly and Jeff Olde.

The battle of the bulge will continue as VH1 is bringing back one of their most popular series, “Celebrity Fit Club” for a seventh season. As in the previous edition, this season will also use a grueling boot-camp style regimen prescribed by CFC taskmaster and former USMC Drill Instructor Harvey Walden. His mission is to take eight out-of-shape celebs and help transform them back to the camera-friendly bodies they used to have. Harvey accepts no excuses as the challenges will be brutal, but the results will be amazing. Also returning to the show will be nutrition and diet expert Dr. Ian Smith. The series has been picked up for 8 one-hour episodes and a 90 minute finale. The show has yet to be cast and will premiere sometime in 2010.

“Celebrity Fit Club” is produced by ITV Studios, Inc. Executive producers are Jonas Larsen for ITV Studios and Jim Ackerman, Christian McLaughlin and Jeff Olde for VH1.

“Celebrity Rehab Presents Sober House” is also returning for its sophomore season. The series chronicles the dramatic experiences of a group of celebrities with addiction issues as they make the transition back into the real world full of the people and temptations that once led them into a life of addiction. Throughout the course of their stay in the Sober House, participants will have the opportunity to meet with Dr. Drew in both one-on-one and group sessions in an effort to understand and advance their experience to its fullest potential in this crucial and difficult transitional period. Also, returning to the series will be house manager, Jennifer Gimenez, counselor Bob Forrest and resident technician Will Smith. The series has been picked up for eight one-hour episodes and will premiere after the third season of “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” ends its run in 2010.

“Celebrity Rehab Presents Sober House” is executive produced by John Irwin, Bruce Toms and Damian Sullivan for Irwin Entertainment. Dr. Drew Pinsky and Howard Lapides are also executive producing. Jill Holmes, Noah Pollack and Jeff Olde, are executive producers for VH1.

As you probably know by now there is a Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander sex tape floating around out there, and up until now everyone has just been speculating on what happened; where it was from, and how it got leaked.

Megan Hauserman slaps Sharon Osbourne with a lawsuit

Reality show career girl Megan Hauserman is suing Sharon Osbourne for attacking her during the Rock of Love Charm School Girls reunion.

The attack came when Ms. Hauserman, who was a contestant on the show, said that host Sharon Osbourne was only famous for managing her “brain dead rock star” husband, Ozzy. Mrs Osbourne got her television start as the famously foul-mouth matriarch on the MTV reality show, The Osbournes. She later went on to star in reality talent shows in the U.K. and as a judge on NBC’s America’s Got Talent.

According to Hauserman’s attorney, the attack, which aired on the reunion show, the catfight left her “grievously and permanently injured and hurt in her health, strength and activity” and “will be prevented from attending to any occupation in the future.” In other words, the hairpulling and scratching made her sad, emotionally fractured, and unable to do any kind of work, except for reality shows that film her in a bikini.

Megan Hauserman was the winner of the third season of the reality show Beauty and the Geek, and has been on the VH1 reality shows Rock of Love, Rock of Love Charm School Girls, and I Love Money. She is also said to be starring in her own VH1 dating show in the future.

I Love Money 2: Buddha Clears The Air

If you have been watching I Love Money 2 this season then you are well aware that Buddha was public enemy #1 this season. It wasn’t because he couldn’t be trusted, or because of his personality(at least not initially), it all started because he was bigger than everyone. So in typical Realty TV competition fashion the majority of the “weaker” players decided to go with the “cut off your nose to spite your face strategy,” which failed miserably causing the green team to dwindle while Buddha avoided elimination time and time again. This past week production blew up the teams and had everyone re-pick their teams, leaving Buddha eventually without a team to go back to and subsequently eliminated from the game. Below is what Ezra “Buddha” Masters had to say in his Myspace  blog about the show, the people, and what happened behind the scenes.

The truth is that contrary to Production editing (e.g. voice over cutting and pasting), I didn’t pick 20 Pack because I knew he’d pick me. In fact it was quite the opposite. We all knew So-hairy was going to get picked as the female captain so I picked 20 Pack, and convinced others to do the same, because of 2 reasons;

1.) I knew he’d send me home
2.) I felt he’d be the best leader out of those males remaining

“Yes!” I wanted to go however I wouldn’t quit because I didn’t want my team to suffer with the stupid ass “1 quits another 1 leaves” rule.

A person’s life is dictated by the decisions he/she makes. Deciding when to fight and when to walk away is often times the most challenging of decisions. In this case I wanted to walk away. I was exhausted with the blatant disrespect from the other contestants and outright disregard of personal space, but most of all I was exhausted with production encouraging (by not discouraging, minimally regulating and hardly mediating the situations) serious altercations.

I’d reached the point of KNOWING that if I was disrespected or immaturely & unjustifiably confronted again by another one of the delinquents in the house (regardless of gender) I was bound to react in the worst fashion, far outside that of the positive individual I prefer to be and have worked so hard to become. It became painfully obvious to me that the people attacking me and the producers standing by letting it happen to such extremes (most of which was not aired) had NEVER encountered a person that is capable of committing extremes to that of my extent. I’d realized that all of those attacking me were so accustom to “faking” and being around “fake people” they didn’t recognize a “REAL” serious situation when it was staring them in their faces. Moreover, the Producers of 51 Minds too had no idea how real shit could get because they too were too used to people “faking and pretending” to be “real” during camera time. The Producers had never actually encountered a real individual that was really down to do some deviously real shit when backed in to a corner. Even the nicest of animals strike hard and violently when pushed to do so.

Knowing the stupidity and immaturity of those around me and how incredibly not understood I was by production I needed to leave or suffer the consequences of my reactions based off of my decision to interact with those of far lesser intellect, morals, respect, restraint and overall caliber than my own.

In other words, knowing what I knew at the time had I stayed there’s no doubt that I would of ended up seriously damaging several people physically along with my freedom & career as a result. And had that happened I would of only blamed myself as accountable for not leaving a bad situation when I had the chance to before it had gotten worse.

One has to know one’s strengths and weaknesses in order to sustain a successful life. You play to your strengths and supress your weaknesses. My greatest weaknesses is my limited ability to tolerant blatant disrespect. I give much respect and therefore expect it in return.

Being surrounded by such stupidity and ignorance is certainly not conducive to any man’s positive peaceful mental state or the physical well being of the immature individuals surrounding him… and such was the case with me.

As childish as the challenges were, dealing with the “competitors” was the most elementary element of all. I felt in the end that the money wasn’t worth tolerating the childish antics knowing that there was nothing I could do to correct, control or counter-balance the situation (well… nothing I could do legally, peacefully or within the confinements of the rules).

It came to a point where I felt like I was the only adult forced to play in a sandbox full of juvenile delinquents. I make more than enough money to sustain my lifestyle and in the end once I left the show I simply went back to my well earned good life, whereas others went back to his basement, their hole in the wall strip clubs, their street corners, and in two low class “best girlfriends forever” cases… The Penitentiary.

I’m sure you all know by now that things are getting better for me everyday and I thank God for all the blessings bestowed on me. There’s no doubt that you’ll see much more of me in several other tv shows and series to come so thanks for your support and stay tuned

Best Regards,
Ezra “Buddha” Masters

p.s. I wish all the best the “bgff’s in crime.” Given all the warrants, prostitution, bounced checks and forgery I’m incredibly surprised that you two made it to Mexico to do the show, amazed you tow were dumb enough to try and re-enter the country but impressed at the Mexican authorities for extending the mercy to allow you two to re-enter the states to serve time in California instead of some Mexican hell hole. Ebony & Ivory… I wish you both Good Luck and many lessons learned.

Lesson 4: Realness

Take the lessons from the greatest losers in this show…

1. Laziness sends you no where, Stupidity gets you no where and hate keeps you no where (e.g. jail, homeless or 42yrs old living in your parent’s basement).

2. Be true to yourself and don’t pretending to be someone you’re not. If
you don’t have a lot of things just work with what little things you do have and aspire for better (e.g. don’t bounce
checks and forge documents in hopes of pretending to have money if you really don’t have money even if people expect you to have money).

Shay “Buckeey” Johnson is making big moves

After doing VH1 reality show  Flavor of Love, and then Flavor of Love Charm School Girls, we haven’t seen much of Shay “Buckeey” Johnson. Sure, there was the  sex tape circulating, but it’s not like she made an appearance on I Love Money or anything.

That’s because she’s been busy, working on her career. In a magazine for Flavour Magazine in the U.K., Shay talks about the film she has in the works, and a self-development book coming out this spring. Check out this interview, then read the full article at Flavour.
