Hush, Hush, Pass: Black Folks Plan Reality TV Takeover!

Posted 08/17/2006 at 2:07 PM  |  5 comment/s  |  Category: Hush, Hush, Pass, On TV, Reality TV

Wayne Brady is set to host Celebrity Duets, son! The new Fox reality show will pair up professional singers with non-singing celebs. Chaka Khan (Chaka Khan), Patti LaBelle, Brian McKnight, Macy Gray, and Carlton Banks Alfonso Ribeiro are all on tap to flex their vocal skills. VC just wonders if Wayne Brady will have to choke a bitch.

Although her UPN series South Beach flopped, Jennifer Lopez will try her hand at scripted television again. La Lopez is producing a comedy for F/X centered around L.A.'s diverse Echo Park 'hood. Mrs. Marc Anthony is also still busy fending off husband numero uno from publishing his book The Unknown Truth: A Passionate Portrait of a Serial Thriller, which details their spicy relationship. But aint it funny how all this would go away if Jenny from the block simply forked over a cool $5 million to pay her ex not to spill the arroz con pollo? Talk about hush money.

American Idol hopefuls are auditioning across the country as we speak, but season 3 winner Fantasia is the Idol all eyes are once again. Her TV biopic, The Fantasia Barrino Story: Life Is Not A Fairy Tale, hits the air this Saturday on Lifetime with Fantasia playing herself . We all know that Fanny can sing and slob Jamie Foxx down, but can she act?

Karamo Brown from Real World fame does T.I. Well, not literally. Check out the "What You Know" Sweetwater Swagger remix, y'all. Yes homo.

Someone please tell Karamo that videotaping you and your homeboy/*cough* LOVER *cough* bouncing around and lip synching to a song does not make you hard

and neither does pulling out a baggie of flour or baby powder or WHATEVER that was, out of your matching man purses either

it actually makes you look foolish as all hell, and desperate to get back into the spotlight (ready for another RR-RW challenge yet?)

somebody please pray for him.

Is ALL of tv UNreality now? LOL Dying over the Wayne Brady comment. Can you imagine him giving that glare he gave to Dave Chapelle if one of the contestants misses a note? LOL

Once again from the network that brought you "Hell's Kitchen" and "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance" comes another FOX fiasco. It's truly a wonderment that this network actually has legal proof to claim "24", "Prison Break" and "The OC" (which I still can't find the appeal but hey) and yet still continues to put out such garbage and label it entertainment.

LMAO @ Carlton Banks! Funny how those tv names fit better than real ones sometimes.

*Still REALLY glad I missed the Fantasia-Jamey slobfest* Show sounds worth checking out though. Thanks for the heads up!! I'd never have known.
