VH1’s Lineup to Be Even Less Star-studded

Yesterday, VH1 announced that it would be trotting out a record 44 new series in 2010 and making an intentional break with the D-list celebrity shows (Rock of Love, Flavor of Love, and their many spinoffs) that have comprised just about all of the network's programming over the last few years. "As much as they've enjoyed the Love franchise, our audience was getting a little fatigued by all those manufactured reality shows," VH1 president Tom Calderone said. "They want more authenticity in their reality, which isn't to say that it can't be comedic and light." Calderone even dropped the "M" word, as the ersatz music networks like to do when they're trying to project the aforementioned authenticity, saying that each new show would fall into one of three genres: music, celebrity, or "real life stories."

But before you get your hopes up about seeing an actual music video on the channel, you should know that a Behind the Music about Christina Aguilera is an example of VH1's new "music" programming. In other words, this isn't change, this is repositioning: VH1 is dumping the Flavor of Love model of reality television in favor of the Jersey Shore model. Instead of breeding reality-TV celebrities from patriarchal D-listers like Bret Michaels or Flava Flav, they're gonna breed reality-TV celebrities from nobodies, like Snooki and the Situation. Doesn't that sound more authentic to you?!

Consider the shows VH1 announced: My Big Friggin' Wedding, more or less My Super Sweet 16 with, well, weddings; You're Cut Off, in which women who could have appeared on My Super Sweet 16 are denied pedicures and Barneys; Eva Longoria: Beso: Waiting on Fame, about the wait staff at Longoria's restaurant Beso; Estranged With Dr. Drew, where the celebrity doc plays relationship counselor to a normal couple (Sorry, Sandy and Jesse, he just doesn't have time for you right now). What all these shows don't have is an ur-semi-famous person like Flav or Michaels making a fool of himself on camera (Longoria executive produces her show, but is not one of the main characters). What they do have are regular people making fools of themselves on camera!

In fairness, the new series don't have set-ups as ludicrous as people competing for a chance to do something as patently undesirable as sleeping with Bret Michaels or Flava Flav. And yes, the Love series and their spinoffs are tired (and dropping in the ratings. Though, for a reminder of their dominance, see this Times piece from 2007). But in eighteen months, when the breakout star of My Big Friggin' Weddings is newly divorced and getting a chance to host his own dating show (My Big Friggin Dating Game!), he'll be tired too — having never been as authentically weird as Flav, just as authentically fame hungry.

VH1 Pumps Up The "Gen Mix" Show Volume [Deadline]

Say What: VH1 Cleaning Up Post Flavor ?

Posted on Apr. 7th, 2010 by Sir Platinum Graham

While many enjoy shows like “Flavor of Love,” “I Love New York’ and ‘For the Love of Ray J,” VH1 has long been dismissed for its seeming glorification of negative images and stereotypes.

According to insiders, the network is deliberately cleaning up its line up with shows about family and success (via Chilli, Basketball Wives and Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business)….

The cable network synonymous with “Flavor of Love” and its sleazy spin-offs is trading trampiness for fabulousness with a new slate of series starring seemingly well-adjusted rich and famous black Americans. VH1 executive vice president Jeff Olde admits that the shift from oh-no-they-didn’t fare to more mature material is totally intentional.

“We constantly have to evolve and tell our audience different stories,” he says. “I love that we’ve been able to get more diverse with our audience by — in large part — attracting African-American women to the network. We got them in the door with some shows, and now I’m excited about where we’re going and how we’re telling them different kinds of stories.”

With an April 11 debut, “What Chilli Wants” will be partnered on Sundays with “Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business,” focusing on sibling R&B singers Ray J and Brandy Norwood as they attempt to relaunch their music careers, and “Basketball Wives,” starring Shaquille O’Neal’s ex-wife, Shaunie O’Neal, and five other women with romantic links to basketball players.

For the notoriously trashy VH1, it’s not reality as usual. While cat fights will flare up with the “Basketball Wives” and Chilli promises a tiff with her sassy matchmaker on “What Chilli Wants,” these new shows certainly aren’t selling buzzworthy moments akin to “Flavor of Love” contestants spiting on each other or suddenly defecating on the floor.

“I watched ‘Flavor of Love’ myself,” attests Chilli. “It was definitely one of the shows I thought was interesting, but it made sense for Flav to do it just that way. For me, I wanted to do my show in a way that I would be comfortable with, and I was very happy that VH1 was on the same page with me. They did have a formula that has been working for them.” (Business Week)

NY Court Says Flavor Flav Owes Over $63k in Back Child Support

Public Enemy hypeman turned reality TV star Flavor Flav (William Drayton, Jr.) will soon answer charges that he owes $63,458.00 in back child support to the mother of three of his children.

According to the Albany County Child Support Collection Division, Mary Parker originally had an agreement in place since 1996 that covered the former couple's two children at the time. However, Parker moved to have the agreement amended in July 2008 after the birth of a third child.

She was successful with an appeal last month, and a judge ordered Flavor Flav’s weekly payment of $117 increased to $837.72, along with requirements to cover private school tuition fees dating back to the original 2008 amendment filing.

Flav, who celebrates his 51^st birthday next month, explained that he will contest the order on the grounds that he’s made payments to his children’s mother beyond the court decreed amount.

"The judgment is recent as I was just made aware of it," Flav stated to the NY Post. "I'll certainly be addressing it. However, I've made payments on my children's tuition, and have made direct payment to the mother outside of the court order."

Since finding success on several VH1 reality shows (Surreal Life, Strange Love, Flavor of Love) in the mid 2000s, Flavor Flav has been attacked by several family members for alleged financial abandonment.

In January 2009, a daughter accused him of bring a bad parent for reneging on a promise to pay for her final semester of college, and only seeing her one week out the year.

Karen Ross-Fortunate, another mother of three of Flav’s children, went public in stating the Public Enemy member did not financially support his children, in particular their eldest son’s college tuition expenses.

Flav has seven children, the last being a boy named Karma born in 2007.

At press time, Flavor Flav’s Albany County child support case does not have a court date.

Flavor Flav in Las Vegas Car Crash

(AllHipHop News) Public Enemy group member/reality star Flavor Flav escaped serious injury last night (January 20), when he was involved in a two-car accident.

The self-proclaimed “World’s Greatest Hypeman” was in Las Vegas when the accident occurred.

While Flavor himself was not injured, the status of the other driver is not known.

The accident was bad enough that Flavor Flav’s car had to be towed away from the scene and Flavor had to leave with the driver of the tow truck. Flavor Flav is in Las Vegas often.

According to reports, the mother of his seventh child stays in the city and he also held his 50th birthday party last year at Jet Night Club.

Flavor recently released a new single titled “I’ll Never Let You Go,” which makes use of the popular Auto-Tune technology.

His main group, Public Enemy is also working their new, untitled 13th album as well, utilizing Sellaband.com to raise money from fans to record the project.

download /Just Another Girl on the I.R.T. 1992

Chantel Mitchell (Ariyan A. Johnson) is an African-American, 17-year-old high school junior who lives in Brooklyn, New York. Chantel is very smart and articulate, although her sharp tongue, abundant ego, and occasional naivete undermine her efforts. Her ultimate dream is to leave her poor neighborhood, go to college, and eventually become a doctor. Throughout the movie, Chantel breaks the fourth wall and states that she wants to be seen as more than just another teenage black girl on the subway. Hence, the "I.R.T." in the film's title stands for "Interborough Rapid Transit Company", and specifically references the IRT Lexington Avenue Line of the New York City Subway system. However, there is only one scene in the film where Chantel is actually in the subway.

She lives with her struggling working-class parents and her two younger brothers. With her mother working during the day and her father working the night shift and hence sleeping all day, Chantel is given the responsibility of taking care of her brothers in addition to going to school full-time and working a part-time job at a local grocery store.

However, she earns mostly A's and B's in school, and is fully determined to receive an education beyond her primary one. Much to the chagrin of her teachers, she wants to graduate early in order to get into college as soon as possible. Her dream is tested with her constant clashes with her school's administration, and her recent romantic involvement with her seemingly-rich boyfriend Tyrone (Kevin Thigpen). She becomes pregnant and undermines herself with false confidence and lack of real worldly knowledge.

Production

The film received decidedly mixed reviews upon its release. As of March 2008, the film has a "fresh" rating of 67% at Rotten Tomatoes^[2]. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone magazine was among some of the critics to rave about the film, stating that it was "A cause for celebration! Explosively funny, deeply moving . . . 'Just Another Girl' is not just another movie" http://www.divshare.com/download/10177131-bcd
