article-0-12D69AECcoco

Now that Ice T and Coco Austin’s reality series “Ice Loves Coco” on the E! channel has run its course, Ryan Seacrest is working on a talk show for the couple. Meanwhile, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Coco is aiming to become a sex-toy tycoon. She’s working with a female-run adult web-store, California Exotics, to develop a growing collection called “Coco Licious.” She started with 12 items that she and Ice tested extensively. Coco specializes in sex toys that look like something else (like a makeup compact) and can be concealed in a purse. She says she works on materials and every detail of the devices.

Jersey Shore Mike Sorrentino Reality Shows The Situation

YOU HAVEN’T SEE THE LAST OF “THE SITUATION”

the-situation-a-lcut Photo: MTV

Just when it appeared that Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino from Jersey Shore had his last gasp of fame, he got another reality show. Sorrentino cleaned up in more ways than one, while filming Jersey Shore. He raked in tons of money (5 million in 2010) making personal appearances, doing workout videos and endorsements. After boozing it up on the show for several seasons he went to rehab for prescription meds. His new show ”The Sorrentinos,” for TVGN is all about his family – including his mother, sister and two brothers – and their life in New Jersey. So his fifteen minutes are not yet up…

Carmen Electra Joanna Krupa Lilly Galichi Reality Shows

WHAT DO THESE THREE WOMEN HAVE IN COMMON?

The fact that they are all reality stars (or have been) is one factor that Lilly Galichi, 30, Joanna Krupa, 34, and Carmen Electra, 41, have in common. That means they have limited talent and really need to scheme to keep their tenuous careers rolling. Educated Lilly gave up a legal career to appear on “Shahs of Sunset” so she can always go back into law if all else fails. Polish born lingerie model Joanna is currently on the “Real Housewives of Miami” so her future is iffy at best. And Carmen Electra, who dated Simon Cowell and is described as a “glamour model,” is now trying to be a singer. They are all friends of Bravo’s Andy Cohen so maybe he’s cooking something up for the threesome. They DO get a lot of attention when they’re together!

Clint Eastwood Dina Eastwood Reality Shows

DINA EASTWOOD IS ADDICTED TO FAME

Her marriage didn’t last and neither did her reality series “Mrs Eastwood and Company,” but Dina Ruiz Eastwood isn’t giving up on having a reality career. Some say her “E” show contributed to the demise of her marriage because Clint never liked the idea. Undaunted, Dina is determined to be famous and she’s working on a NEW reality show about her life as a single cougar. She’s already in talks with cable networks.

Gay Howard Bragman Reality Shows

“COMING OUT” REALITY SHOW CANCELED- STARS WOULDN’T COME OUT

Three years ago, celebrity publicist Howard Bragman announced that he was developing a reality show called “Coming Out” and he was looking for closeted celebrities to appear on the show and announce their sexual preference. We thought it was a fascinating but unrealistic idea. One of Howard’s specialties is helping famous people come out gracefully and he had worked with Lance Bass, Chaz Bono, and Dick Sargent. The reality show never came together because no stars wanted to come out! So in spite of the progress gays have achieved, “coming out” is still a courageous and difficult act.

Canceled Rachel Zoe Reality Shows The Rachel Zoe Project

IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR RACHEL ZOE?

Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe has been bombarded with business propositions since her Bravo reality series “The Rachel Zoe Project” debuted in 2008, and just MAYBE she hasn’t been paying enough attention to her TV show. Ratings have taken a nose-dive and it looks like Bravo plans to cancel the series. Her series devolved into self-obsessed Rachel continuously whining about her minor problems or drooling over her baby, and LESS about fashion. Does Rachel realize how important that show is to her continued success? It’s guaranteed that offers will start drying up as soon as she is off the air – out of sight, out of mind. Her pricey clothing collection is not doing very well – several major stores have already stopped carrying her lines. If she’s smart, Rachel will funnel ALL her efforts into revamping a TV deal with Bravo. Rachel- do not underestimate the importance of Bravo!

Brigitte Nielsen Reality Shows Rehab

BRIGITTE NIELSEN CLEANED UP HER ACT AND SHE’S TURNING JAPANESE

#brigitte nielsen #janetcharlton

Brigitte Nielsen wants the world to see that she’s in much better shape than she was the last time we saw her – which was in August when she was photographed rolling around on the grass in a Beverly Hills park with a bottle of liquor in her hand – almost looking like a vagrant. At the time, we wondered if it was a stunt to get herself booked on another rehab reality series. Most of her income comes from reality shows of some kind. Four months later she appeared (above) at an award show in Paris looking slightly Asian.

Breaking Amish Fake! Reality Shows TLC

BREAKING AMISH: REBECCA’S NOT SUCH A GOOD GIRL

breakingamish #janetcharlton

“Breaking Amish” continues to create problems for TLC when it comes to “reality.” TLC claimed the five young Amish people featured were inexperienced and had never left their communities. Websites are popping up online claiming that several of the cast members have not lived the Amish life for quite awhile. A photograph of Abe and Rebecca holding a baby that appeared on his brother Andy’s Facebook page (Facebook?) has critics saying they already have a child together. And a photo of Rebecca allegedly at a pool party in 2010 after she was too modest to wear a swimsuit on the show, DOES imply fakery. Kate (the one with the DUI in Florida) had no trouble modeling a bikini on one episode. Expect more revelations as the show continues – how will TLC explain all this? The premise of the series is fascinating – too bad it wasn’t produced with more attention to detail – and truth.

Betsey Johnson Fashion Reality Shows

BANKRUPT BETSEY JOHNSON BOUNCES BACK WITH REALITY SHOW

#betseyjohnson #janetcharlton

You haven’t seen the last of Betsey Johnson! Betsey has been a fashion icon to fun-loving girls since she started at Paraphernalia in the 1960’s. She always designed affordable colorful party dresses for girls who like to have fun. Through the years she’s had her own clothing lines and a chain of stores that just went bankrupt. Now she’s landed her own reality show called “Betsey and Lulu” and it stars her and her daughter Lulu, and Lulu’s two little girls. On the series, the colorful Betsey will rebuild her business and Lulu will start her own. We were lucky to see one of Betsey’s runway shows in the 80’s at a punk club in New York where all the models were hosed down and soaking wet as the highlight of the show! It’s nice to see her surviving bankruptcy…

Cancelled Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson Ev and Ocho Evelyn Lozada Reality Shows

NOTHING GETS BETWEEN EVELYN LOZADA AND HER REALITY CAREER

#evelynlozada #janetcharlton

Having watched the Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson wife battering story go down we’ve formed a few conclusions. Chad and Basketball Wives reality star Evelyn Lozada both seem to seek the limelight to excess, and their July wedding was filmed by VH1 for their own reality show “Ev and Ocho.” When the head-butting incident put an end to Chad’s job with the Miami Dolphins and AND VH1 cancelled their reality show, Evelyn filed for divorce the next day! We’re betting if the show WASN’T cancelled she would have made a big deal out of forgiving him on camera and the show would have gone ON. But since her marriage is no longer useful to her reality career, Evelyn is moving on to where the grass is greener. That’s how these “reality marriages” seem to go…
