Coolio Gets a Reality Show, Too!

Every now and then someone happily comes up to you and makes an announcement, and the only thing that is left to say is, “Why?” Such is the case with this post.

Rapper Coolio will be getting his own six episode reality show that will be airing on the Oxygen network. For those of you who don’t know what the Oxygen network is, think of it as the other Lifetime network.

The show, entitled Coolio and the Gang, will be about the rapper’s life as a single father raising six kids, maintaining a music career (?), and launching a clothing line.

Spinderella Conspicously Absent in Salt-n-Pepa Show

Three weeks into The Salt-n-Pepa show and I am still waiting for one of the girls to mention their DJ, Spinderella. Honestly, thinking back to the old days, I thought of Salt-n-Pepa as a group, a trio. Two girls who rapped and their DJ. The decent thing about it was that it was an all female group, including the DJ, which added to the whole vibe of female empowerment they put out. Would there have been a TLC without Salt-n-Pepa to pave the way? Doubt it.

So, now that there is a show that reunites the group, and has them working our their issues, where is Spinderella? Well, according to Spinderella, although she makes a guest appearance on the show, she was not told about the show. Spinderella, whose real name is Deidra Jones, feels that before the Salt-n-Pepa really reunite, they need to work things out with her.

Well, that really depends: is their reunion really about the music, or is it about the show and the money?

Neil Faces the Music On The Biggest Losers

Last week, The Biggest Loser’s Neil delivered a blow to his new black,team by gaining 17 pounds of water weight. This was a devious plot to keep his old blue team members safe by ensuring the elimination of one of his black team members. The fallout of his actions got Jez sent home.
The only thing worse than a cheater is an obvious cheater, and Neil’s tactics don’t go over well with his trainer and fellow contestants. And on this week’s episode of the reality competition show, he finds out what people think of what he did.

Bye Bye Buddha! Ezra Kicks Rocks on I Love New York 2

It’s funny because I thought that he would be around a lot longer. I thought it would come down to him and Tailor Made in the final two; a kind of good vs. evil thing. But I should have known that he wouldn’t last long when last week he said that his hatred for Tailor Made surpassed his love for Tiffany. Not a good sign.

Sure enough, this week hatred won out over love and Ezra Masters roughed up the competition and was sent packing. Seems like Mr. Buddha keeps looking for love in all the wrong places, since he was also recently a contestant on BET’s reality dating show, Hell Date.

Dina Lohan Begins Filming Her Reality Show Next Week

Those of you who have been reading Reality Roll Call for a while may remember when we told you that Lindsay Lohan’s parents were trying to sell their respective reality shows. Well, although father Michael can’t even wrangle a spot on Celebrity Apprentice, svengali-like mom Dina will start filming her show for E! next week.

According to People magazine, Dina feels that this show will set the record straight about her and her family. And to make sure that she gets the message across that she is not a self-serving, control freak who pimps her kids, she is the executive producer of the show, which is about her managing her daughter Alli’s singing and acting career.

Here’s how Dina describes the show:

“It’s about empowering women to be successful single mothers. About being in the limelight without compromising motherhood. It’s about what I do, how you can be successful, and be a single mom and fulfilling your kids’ dreams. Working is my sole source of income.”

Working is her sole source of income. So all you single mothers who have been working for free, get a clue.
