When you get your news from Perez (www.perezhilton.com), you obviously get your finest entertainment from VH1. I have been head-under-water at work for the past few weeks, so when I am actually home - I kinda just want to zone out. Here’s how I’ve been relaxing lately a la VH1.
Megan Wants a Millionaire
(Sundays @ 9:00 p.m.)
Megan and her Millionaires
Megan Hauserman did not find true love on Rock of Love 2 w/ Bret Michaels – also quality entertainment, but now she has her own show to find the millionaire of her dreams. I would normally be kinda turned off by a show like this, but it’s quickly become a guilty pleasure. Without being a complete schadenfreude-ist, I honestly just can’t get over how pathetic the men are on the show. You are going to have to see for yourself. I feel like I want to cover my eyes sometimes when I watch it because I am embarrassed for them. Usually, VH1 love-seeking shows are hot and heavy, but I don’t think Megan has even hugged one of the contestants yet. Eek!
Real Chance at Love 2
(Mondays @ 9:00 p.m.)
Thug Life
I am embarrassed for myself that I watch this show. The problem is that it is ALWAYS on – and they repeat it at least 15 times a day. Real and Chance (still trying to figure out who they are and why they have a second season to find reality love) have their own Flavor Flav-esque dating show. Most of the contestants are either former or current “dancers” and at least half of them are certifiable. I mean CRAZY. And R&C have given them all pet names like: Bubbles, Lusty, Stalker, Meatball, So Hood and Sexy Legs. Lord.
The T.O. Show
(Mondays @ 10:00 p.m.)
WOW
This one is my favorite. Although many will disagree with me, I have always gotten a kick out of T.O.’s (Terrell Owens) antics and thought the press has been sort of tough on him. Born and raised in Dallas, I am a Cowboy’s fan through and through. Much like Philly, Dallas was not as into T.O. as I am, so they recently released him and now he is playing for Buffalo. The show is obviously a PR stunt to get us to want to give him a hug. I think it’s working, too. The T.O. Show follows Terrell off the field and gives us an idea of his personal ”trials and tribulations” – and all the supermodels he dates. My favorite parts, though, are watching his publicists and BFF’s, Mo and Kita, boss him around.
Watching trashy reality TV is my personal favorite way to destroy my brain cells. I do not and will not, however, watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta. I am really trying to maintain some dignity. I’m holding out.
