Reality TV Show Ideas Should Be Locked Up... No, Wait! That's Coming
This must make Martha Stewart jealous. All those wasted months when Stewart was in the slammer and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia's stock was in the tank, Stewart could have been making ponchos and petit fours for inmates on reality TV.
"The Apprentice"'s Omarosa Stallworth, who is on the latest version of "The Surreal Life 5," delivers her usual diva performance. Omarosa is now threatening to leave the show because of her ongoing cat-fights with supermodel Janice Dickerson. Why? Janice was asked to pose for a cast photo with a knife near Omarosa--and Omarosa freaked out. Ho-hum.
"My Fair Brady" is another VH1 effort that has Chris Knight, who was Peter Brady on the 60s iconic "Brady Bunch," dating Adrianne Curry, ex-winning contestant on "America's Next Top Model." Both were on "The Surreal Life 4." Curry is kind of wild and way younger--almost 20 years--than the more straight-laced Knight.
At a party, Curry has her girlfriend eat cake off her breasts. Later, Knight tongue-kisses Curry's friend. A few days, later Knight gets his old TV mother, Florence Henderson, to weigh in on the prospects of his dating Curry.
Shocking! Can celebrities really be this boring? Can real people be this boring? Even jail time doesn't seem enough punishment.
